70 days from seed!!! wow I just confirmed once again that Zamnesia seeds are not bad :) the girl is growing really well despite the lack of space, high humidity, the girl just ignores all this and does not pay much attention to it and focuses all her energy on the maturation of the flowers, which are really very stiff ;) Plagron nutrients also worked flawlessly throughout her growth, this is my first growth with these nutrients :) I am happy that they are there, I will definitely use them in the future :) well, there is not much left until the harvest, Good luck to everyone in the competition and in your cultivation :).

Beginning of Week 5. Getting ready for transplant. We made our own potting mix and compost tea with the following ingredients. Potting Mix : 10 Quarts Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil (Base) 5 Quarts Earth Worm Casting 1 Cup Flower Girl 5 Quarts Pearlite 2.5 Tablespoons Happy Frog Japanese Maple Fertilizer (Mixed in) 2 Teaspoons Vigoro (Mixed into top 3" of Soil) 2 Teaspoons Happy Frog Japanese Maple Fertilizer (Mixed into top 3' of Soil) Compost Tea: 2 Cups of Worm Casting (Steeped) .25 Cups Flower Girl (Steeped) 1 Cup of Happy Frog Japanese Maple Fertilizer (Steeped) I wasn't entirely sure how a Compost Tea would work with feeding, so the guy at the gardening center said it wouldn't hurt to use the compost as the base liquid to water for the week, and it would be safe to add the typical nutrients ( Grow big, Molasses, Liquid Seawee, Big Bloom and Nitrogen). Guess we'll find out and hopefully I wont destroy my plant. When transplanting we form fitted the orignal pot into the new 5 gallon fabric pot. Filled the hole and covered the rootball with Mycorrhizae.

Week 3 Marvels: Cherry Cola Auto's Green Symphony Continues Hi guys! Our botanical voyage with the Cherry Cola Auto from Fast Buds Seeds is evolving into a mesmerizing saga. As we delve into Week 3, the green marvel not only thrives but astonishes with newfound vigor. Strap in for another week of horticultural revelations! Our Cherry Cola Auto, now comfortably settled in the 16L fabric pot, has gracefully embraced the Lumatek 465W Zeus Compact Pro LED in its new tent. The transition was seamless, and the plant basks in the orchestrated light, akin to a botanical ballet. In a daring twist, I decided to break from tradition and venture into uncharted territory for autos - topping! With gentle fingers and utmost care, I executed a precise pinch at the top. The result? A beautifully topped Cherry Cola Auto, standing tall and proud. Topping involves removing the apical meristem, redirecting growth hormones, and promoting bushier lateral growth. It's like giving our plant a new set of directions for an intricate dance of foliage. But the surprises don't end there. This week, I introduced the art of bending to our green companion. Picture this: the plant, pliable and eager, responding to a gentle coaxing of its branches. Bending not only shapes the plant but also enhances light exposure to lower branches, ensuring an even canopy. It's like crafting a botanical masterpiece with nature as the artist. As promised, I've captured the essence of my Aptus Holland watering mix in a visual delight. Check out the accompanying video for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the meticulous concoction. This nutrient-rich elixir, featuring Regulator, caMg-boost, All in One and Start Booster, is the lifeblood of our Cherry Cola Auto's thriving existence. As we conclude this Week 3 saga, the Cherry Cola Auto stands as a testament to the endless possibilities of cultivation. To Fast Buds Seeds, Aptus Holland, and the entire green community, your support fuels this vibrant journey. Here's to another week of green marvels, topped triumphs, and bendable beauties. Until next time, keep growing, keep experimenting, and let the green symphony play on!

Day 85 Day 1 Flower 26/07/24 Friday Big feed today full 5L a little run offusimg de-chlorinated water pH 6. So we are through her first transition week. Starting to see sex pistils forming at end of last week. Picture and video update ✌️💚 Day 88 Day 4 flower 29/07/24 Monday Just de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today, full 5L with just under a 1L run off. Day 89 Day 5 Flower 30/07/24 Tuesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today but I'm adding in Plagron Power Buds AND Plagron PK13-14 only 5ml each to 5ml water. It says to use on every irrigation from early flower so here we go. If I start getting burns I'll cut out a few advanced nutrients extras and go again from there. She is just ridiculous, robust, never stresses, healthy and just wants to throw arms out everywhere 🤣💚 Day 91 Day 7 flower 01/08/24 Thursday End of week. Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 3L every evening.

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY Plants are doing well this week. Have some continued signs of thrips damaging some of the leaves. Will need to teat them and kill em all off if possible. The thrips are also outdoors on some of my plants, I feel they came from the bagged promix I got or they overwintered and travelled indoors. Light was a bit to strong at 100% when i grew taller, turned it down to 80%ish now till it starts to blooms. currently at 45cm hang height, Tent is having some issues with cooling down, even running the extractor is not doing much, so I prop the door open at the top and it helps vent it out. Maybe because of the vents the air is not circulating though and just travelling up one side of the tent, IDK. its a waste to run it past setting 5 on a 2x2 so the door will stay propped indefinitely. Still no smells unless I'm rubbing them, no signs of flower just yet, temped to top or LST but I think I'm going to let them go as is and get a good gauge on how they grow and yield. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY Big shout out to @SpiderFarmer for supplying the 2x2x5 Grow tent and The SF1000 100w LED light. I will be uploading all relevant photos of the products in the next week when they arrive, maybe do a little unboxing video. Who knows. A 2nd big shout out to Dr.Seeds for supplying the 3x5pac of seeds I will only be featuring two of the three strains in two separate diaries. You the users will get to decide what ones I grow. I have setup a Grow Question on each diary to vote for your strain of choice for that diary. https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/47600-drseeds-1-vote-what-i-grow "Diary #1" https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/47600-drseeds-1-vote-what-i-grow "Diary #2" Cast your vote for each diary.

day 27 - He podado las hojas bajas y las mas grandes para que al aplicar el lst entre mayor cantidad de luz a las ramificaciones. El objetivo es conseguir mínimo 8 colas. En la próxima semana ya probablemente instale la malla scrog y pase a periodo 12/12 para floracion. Se puede ver algun ligero problema de fertilizacion (exceso) en la punta de las hojas, pero no parece algo realmente preocupante, ya que en general la planta tiene un muy buen verde como se puede comprobar en la foto de las hojas cortadas a luz mas natural.. Tambien he abierto un poco mas el gotero ya que los dos ultimos dias no he identificado agua sobrante en el plato y el coco es mejor que drene para liberar exceso de sales

Giorno 57 - procede bene, ho tolto qualche foglia morta sotto, l’odore é davvero troppo forte anche fuori dalla grow box, comprerò Ona Gel Giorno 58 - ho continuato a defogliare sempre su “CARAMEL” le foglie morte, domani irrigherò Giorno 59 - fornisco 0,5 L di acqua a testa, procede bene, i fiori di “CARAMEL” sono rimasti nettamente più piccoli a causa delle carenze Giorno 60 - prima rilevazione dei Tricomi al microscopio, ancora trasparenti, credo che ci vorranno ancora 10 giorni prima del taglio… Giorno 61 - procede bene, domani darò ancora acqua Giorno 62 - alla fine non ho dato ancora acqua, la daró domani, hanno iniziato a ingiallirsi le foglie di “CREAM” e manifestare carenze, spero di raccogliere tra una settimana Giorno 63 - fornisco 1 litro di acqua a testa. Le foglie di “CREAM” hanno macchie marrone rotonde, carenza di calcio, mi hanno consigliato di dare CalMag ma ormai sono a fine ciclo e attendo di raccogliere

Hello Growmies! We've reached the remarkable week 16 with our tenacious plant, and the developments are simply astounding. Following a week of dedicated flushing, the plant continues to mature gracefully, showcasing an unwavering commitment to quality as she ripens. I'll maintain the reverse osmosis (RO) water regimen until she ceases sprouting fresh white pistils, a testament to her ongoing development. It's a delicate balancing act, providing enough support for her increasingly heavy branches burdened by significant gains, yet the plant's structural integrity remains a priority. Visually, the transformation is captivating; she's commencing a magnificent fade, with the unaffected foliage adopting a rich, deep purple hue, bordering on an almost blackish tone – a stunning display of her natural lifecycle. This chromatic shift isn't just aesthetically pleasing; it's a clear sign of the plant's life cycle progressing towards its grand finale. The chlorosis-free leaves, once vibrant and full of life, are now taking on this regal, somber palette, indicating that maturity isn't far off. Moreover, the trichome-laden buds are a sight to behold, their calyxes continue to swell, and the once slender branches now require additional support to sustain their own weight. It's evident the rigorous cultivation efforts are paying off – the plant's resilience and your attentiveness have aligned perfectly, resulting in an abundance of almost golfball-sized nuggets that shimmer with resin. Every plant tells a story, and this one is about to reach its crescendo – the careful nurturing, the attentive adjustments to the feeding schedule, and the delicate handling of her structure have all contributed to this moment. As we continue with the RO water and witness the plant's final stages, it's clear that the harvest will be one to remember. Stay lifted, Salokin.

After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

Flipped to 12/12 at day 43. Raised light-intensity from 60 to 90 %. Now +70% of the net is filled and i can see potential to make it an evenly shaped bowl full of fruits:-) The deep, dark colour has turned to a juicy green, shoots everywhere....... everything fine but two little things: 1) run-off-pH is a bit high...... 6.6-6.9. will feed rather acidic next time.... 2) Main Colas get a bit tall..... will supercrop them as soon, as the rest of the cannopy is organzied to a clean scrog. Nutritionwise i lowered N, raised K and gave an extra P-shot (0,05 g/L BLOSSOM-BOOST) on days 43 and 44. Day 45 fed pH 5.8 - readings immediatly dropped to 6.3 to 6.5 👍 Vigorous stretch.....!!! Mounted some more hooks to get the scrog even - works perfectly now! +80% of the net is filled......and the colas in the corner almost make plants of their own - i will supercrop them, as soon as they don't stretch any more. Day 46 fed pH 6.1 today..... readings still good (average 6.4) took out some more leafs today, to give a little more light to young shoots. Smell is getting stronger, but no visible signs of flowering yet.

This is an easy strain to grow. I didn't have to use any LST. I am just waiting on some amber trichomes and I will chop.
