Sakura season has begun, I hope everything goes fine. Strawberry Pie is going to have a tough time this week, let's hope it survives, meanwhile there are signs of heat shock and sunlight, it's developing 3 point leaves and strange ramifications but maybe I'm wrong. D38 Defoliation, I hope I haven't overdone the pruning D41 First week of flowering, I think it couldn't have gone better, it's growing visibly, let's hope it's like this until the end, maybe shortening the timing, we'll see. on the contrary strawberry pie has stopped growing, I have to thank that she survived, who knows what will come out of her, I wish her a sweeter climate... D42 Defoliation is limited for what I did last night, I literally deforested, I did it because the humidity was sky high and the vegetation was too thick covering so many peaks,,, the fascinating thing is that they recovered within the night, if I may say that 6 hours of darkness relax the plants just as if they were on vacation.

Grow in super soil these autos have really packed on the weight! They’ll be getting chopped down in a few days! These phenos got super dense nugs and keep swelling

Smells Strongly like Mintz with a dark hint of peppers

Thanks for following

This is a comparison grow between autopot and handwatering, the plants are both cheese from fastbuds in the same medium (pure coco) The water for the handwatered plant comes straight from the reservoir of the autopot And they are both in the same tent same setup So they both recovered from the topping now, the autopot goes faster then the handwatering now, ill just pull the branches a bit open if needed, other then that ill just let them go in their veg

Day71: Tropicana cookies will be cut tomorrow or as soon as the soil dries a bit more. Wedding cheesecake is getting denser. This week is the last feeding week for her, then she is going to get 10/14 days with water only. Gorilla cookies is super bushy, I’m not going to be a fan when I’ll trim her but she is developing well and putting on some weight. Day72: Tropicana cookies is drying! Now I got 2 plants in the tent. I can’t wait to see wedding cheesecake colors at the end of the flush. Gorilla cookies is going to get her last feeding as well and then she is going to get only water. Day 75: pushing towards the end!

I tried Scrog but I took it off it seem to make my fruit salad unhappy much taller than other plants too .many leaves getting smooshed I should have done a few weeks earlier plus needed good defile and lollipop its my first grow I thought I would slow down. on yhe techniques till next round

They are getting fat and smelling strong. I have to defoliate quite often as my room get small now. I think i got 2 more week b4 harvest. Everything is on trace I think.

This week I added a new controller to handle up to 8 functions. I installed a new heater, my old humidifier and some LED strips to the controller. Targeting a VPD at 1.0 day and night. Trying to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 and ph at 6.0 in the reservoirs. Ordered a second ph pen because I don’t trust my readings. Will be here by Thursday. Friday: Checked the ppm in the reservoirs and it’s at 1,000. Added more RO water with extra nitrogen to bring the ppm level down to 925. Saturday: I installed an updated AC Infinity controller 69 Pro Plus (controls 8 pieces of equipment) which allowed me to add a humidifier, corner LEDs and a heater to the controller. Overall I’m extremely impressed with this AC Infinity equipment. My VPD is within the range I want to achieve (.8-1.1). I programmed it to maintain 78 degrees and 67% humidity during the day, 73 degrees and 63% humidity at night. Charts posted also show the impact of an open tent compared to the closed environment. The heater is constantly pushing fresh air into the tent, so I don’t need to cycle the exhaust fan often. Rewired the tent again and moved the controller later that night. I mounted the controller on the wall. Added Mars Hydro UV/IR lighting to fill out all 8 slots on the controller. Sunday: I checked the ph in the reservoirs (6.8….i had filled it with 6.0 ph) and the ppm (1200 ppm…I had filled it with 900). So evaporation and possibly a mismeasurement of ph. I topped ff reservoirs with slightly stronger nutes and adjusted ph to 5.8 in the reservoirs. Poor magnesium absorption could be driving some leaf yellowing. Effective tomorrow, I’m switching over to Heads Formula which consistently feeds GH Flora series nutes at Micro (6ml/g), Bloom (9ml/g) and cal mag (3ml/g). Turned on the UV/IR lights for 3 minutes every 8 hours. I’m easing the plants up to 5 minutes every 6 hours which will provide the recommended 20 minutes of IR per day. This will help the plants stretch a little more. Monday: checked ph and ppm in reservoirs. 6.1ph and 880ppm. VPD remains stable except when I open the tent. Tuesday: checked ph (6.4) and ppm (880) in reservoirs. Added .5ml of ph down to two reservoirs. Still see slight yellowing between the veins but it’s not getting worse (might be improving). Adjusting ph down to 6.0 target might have solved this. The plants grew by 1-2” last night…..is the infrared light working already? Decided to mix up fresh nutes for the reservoirs following Heads formula. 6ml Micro and 9ml Bloom per gallon of RO water. Added 5 ml of CalMag too. Ending ppm was 1080 which is too high, so I diluted down to 880 with RO water. 6.0 ph. Wednesday: plants grew another .75 inches last night. I topped above the 5th node. Thursday: added RO water with heavy cal mag to reservoirs to increase amount of CalMag available.

Welcome to the 5th week of my mutilated magic mango When i dropped one of my diy led's on the center of the plant, it looked like i was going to top it, it was nearly topped and the recovery from it took very much time. The amount of flowers is very low, but trichomes all over the place besides that i can feel the breath of the cops in my neck So i decided to cut a bud in advance, when i get caught i already have tasted what i have grown Only watering this week, leaves look very healthy, but a little bit dark to me, plant is happy though, leaves are upwards all the time. I forgot to mention, this autoflower gets 12 hours of light with white light, with a couple of other photoperiod plants, after those 12 hours i put it under smaller blurple light, it's a 12V 50W COB, driven at 25 watt for extra lighting, the last 2 weeks i have been doing this, untill i see it's nearly time to finish, then back to 12/12. The smell at week 3 of bloom was very fruity, it had the same smell as a good green mango, no difference. But since she matured, the smell changed to the "trichome"smell, same smell like any other "white weed" It has a kind of dark but light skunky smell too, which easily can be grown without filter if you don't grow many.

SUMMARY: Its finally time to start the flush and I'm aiming to flush for 2 weeks. I started the flush on day 95 flushing with tap water straight from the hose. I’ve heard you’re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume, however that would be around 57 litres for a 5 gallon pot which seems absurd. I didn’t record the amount but I took my time and flushed with at least 30 litres. I am now continuing to water twice daily until harvest aiming for 20-30% runoff each time. I water once of a morning around 11:00 giving roughly 2-2.5L and again of an evening around 18:00 giving a further 2.5-3L. DAY 93 ----------- Friday 26th March 18:30 I fed Jesus 3L of late bloom nutes which produced 740ml runoff (25%). [26°C/48%] DAY 94 ----------- Saturday 27th March 18:30 I fed Jesus its last ever feeding, 3L of late bloom nutes which produced 560ml runoff (19%). [26°C/48%] DAY 95 ----------- Sunday 28th March 18:30 I flushed Jesus with tap water straight from the hose.

All in all she's doing pretty well. Growth is pretty much all in the buds and the room now smells strongly of lemons :) yum yum yum. Wanna lick my fingers after touching the plant. She is starting to show some leaf damage. I'm not certain what it is but could be light burn? That light burned the shit out of my wife's plants last winter (she upgraded to Spider Farmer)... so could be. pH is pretty stable and checked every day or two. Temp and humidity are mostly steady. Nutes are maybe a touch low? I am purposefully keeping a modest feeding concentration but pretty sure it's well within safe range. I think it basically leaves the light or some sort of root issue but those roots are just so good looking. Tapering off the nutrients now into the home stretch. No more Big Bud to be added and as of next week she's in flush. Very excited. See the picture of the nutrient schedule for anyone interested... and feedback if you have any 😎 I added another mature plant to the room. A friend's attempt at soil growing did not work out (did not use proper grow light) so I'm trying to help her produce at least a few decent buds 😕. No harm, there's space in the place and plenty of light to go around. Anyone reading - do you have experience water washing? That's my plan for this lady.

4202024 or backwards, it’s 4202024. I’m sure there will be other palindromic dates in future, but this is the one and only stoner palindrome date that can happen in our lifetimes. Thanks to Seedsman for the idea of a 420 grow-off and the chance to try some of the latest and greatest. Anyway, started some Blueberry Pie F1 Fast seeds from Seedsman today. Very promising sounding genetics, and I’m very keen to see how she goes. Hopefully we won’t get as much wildfire smoke as we did last year. The plan for this plant is a 16 cola manifold with force flowering (12 h darkness) starting in late July for a couple of weeks. Starting in a glass of water on a heat mat at 25 C. Kept in dark using foil. I’ve decided to avoid plastic for the seed starting. Also, based on a science paper I saw this winter, I’m leaving a ripe apple in the dark with the seeds. Apparently the ethylene gas helps, but only in the dark before light is applied. Tried it with tomato and pepper plants and seems to work. First time trying with my cannabis seeds. Will add the reference to the paper some day. Apr 22: moved into soil. Starting three seeds but I only have room for one plant. Will adopt out the other two. Apr 25: removed foil cover (and apple) and set the plants beside the light that is going for tomatoes and peppers. The seedlings need minimal light at this stage so taking it easy. Seems likely we’ll be past last potential frost day soon. 👍 #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds
