What’s up everybody. So I started to flower already as you see I identified the sure males and tossed them out. What is left is 2 that still have not confirmed whether they’re female/male. I will see you all next week. Where they lol be in there forever home which will be 1Gal. The nutrients are all in Grams I hope this doesn’t confuse anyone.

Hello everyone , Here is the phase of completed stretch, and the fertilizer fertilizer contribution are 100%, flowering starts very well and the appearance of the first pistil are visible everywhere. For the height of the plants I find it reasonable and thus keeping all this world a good size the luminous penetration will be excellent ... until now hene no sign of problem for my plants I think that the flowering will follow its rhythm .. to see in the coming weeks ... now place to photos ...

Both plants grew very differently. The organic grew like a normal indica based plant. Decent sized main cola that was surrounded by shorter side nodes that still had some pretty sized buds. She had an overall lovely structure. Took to LST like a champ. And was 1 of my most trouble free auto grows to date. She's a beginners delight. Her bounty was 69g on harvesting. And 3g in test I took last week. She grew to 58cm. Vegged out at 25 days, and took another 50 to flower. As I kept a steady temperature throughout their entire life(s), (especially pre flower) there was no unwanted stretching in all my plants. She was very compact allowing the light to reach every part of the plant, done some light lollipoppoing during and before pre flower, not much, as there was no need. She took a lovely natural shape, and with LST. It allowed me to put all buds into the light. And she gave me some seriously lovely bud. I've no doubt when I run them again in coco I'll get a much bigger yield. But 10☆ all the way. The Synthetic. She grew totally differently, she acted as though she was topped and grew all nodes pretty much the same size. Wasn't as dense as the organic but there was a lot of the bud was pretty much the same size buds. She never really grew beyond 42cm. She picked up a pigment mutation and was a little more demanding feeding this girl on Synthetic nutrients. Whereas the organic was apply powder twice to soil and then bioenhancer feeds (every 2 weeks). But, every week she got a low ppm feed never exceeding 700ppm (the Synthetic). Learning to grow more with less nutrients.. gave no trouble really. Had no hard defs/toxs..picked up what I thought was early fade during flowering, just turned out to be wanting a little bit more P and she settled down. Again, Took to LST really well. And was no trouble. Really easier growers, both girls. ROUND UP OF BOTH PHENOS (Organic Synthetic) Both girls, may have differed in the way they grew. But, if you put both strains together, as they are, (uncured) there is no way I'd be able to tell the difference if I done a blind taste/smell test. Both girls gave roughly 115g in 75 days. They both have deep long orange pistils with very tight buds that are packed with flavours galore, and very sticky and stinky. Mainly berries (blackcurrant) at the moment has a grip on them with hints of pine with a citrus undertone. We will see if their profile changes much with a nice long cure. I should have a smoke report in before contest closes to give a true measure of these ladies. Shows how solid and steady these phenos are, as they are so closely in smell, taste and so on. Is a testament of good genes and Dutchs hard work to make all phenos more or less be similar. So, any beginner would have a very good experience growing these type of auto. Can't wait to try more from Dutch-Passion. And, you can get the same results, or near the same tasres/smells and big quality. EQUIPMENT USED. I used a 100w mainly to do these girls. I was swapping around in their early stages of life, trying to give them a higher ppfd. But, been hit with fungus gnats hampered me, by doing this. So, sadly they were only given a 100w mainly for most of their flowering life. They did get a dose of my FC 3000 from marshydro but, not enough time under it to do anything substantial. But, I'm sure it did have some impact on these. As most of my autos came out a little airy whereas these 2 phenos are nice and dense. The Synthetic was dry after 7 days. The organic took a day longer to be fully dry. Everything has been put to the cure. And smoke reports will soon follow with pictures of cured bud.

More precisely comment coming soon.

Start of week 2 for this one as well, haven’t needed to water yet as the medium still has moisture

🎥 My Week 3 Grow Log: Starting the Mainlining Process Introduction & Timing Whats Going On Growmies !!! welcome back to the 2025 Winter Grow! This week marks a really exciting milestone because the Special Kush 1 is finally ready for its first major structural training. We’re currently in Week 3 of the vegetative stage, and the plant has gotten big and healthy enough to handle some High-Stress Training (HST). The Main Goal: Mainlining My focus this session was to initiate mainlining. For those who don't know, this is the technique I use to create a perfectly balanced, symmetrical canopy, which should lead to much bigger and more uniform colas later on. This is where we lay the foundation for maximizing our final yield. The Steps I Took (Topping) Selection: I examined the plant and chose the perfect spot for the cut. I decided on the third node (counting from the bottom) as the anchor point for the manifold. The Cut (Topping): I carefully took my sterilized shears and topped the plant, removing the entire top growth tip (the apical meristem). This was done right above the selected third node. Redirection: Removing that main growth tip gets rid of apical dominance. Now, all of the plant’s energy will be diverted equally into the two main side branches growing out of that third node. These two branches are what will form the central "Y" shape of the manifold. The Clean-Up (Pruning) Lower Growth Removal: To ensure every bit of energy goes to those two future main colas, I systematically removed all of the lower growth. This included all the secondary growth tips and fan leaves from the first and second nodes. The New Structure: After the trimming, the plant now has a clean, bare stem leading up to the two chosen branches at the third node. This is the official "beginning of the mainlining" process. Next Steps The plant will now focus on recovering and growing those two new main branches. In the next few days, I'll probably be tying those two branches down gently to keep them level and open up the center (that's the Low-Stress Training part of mainlining). I'm really happy with how the first cut went. Stay tuned for the next part where we continue to shape this manifold! My Week 3 Grow Log: Precision Nutrient Feeding Part 1: The Nutrient Mix and Strength Check Water Base: I started with my baseline water and made sure it was ready for mixing. The Flora Series Mix (Per Gallon): I carefully measured out the General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients, following my specific Week 3 veg schedule: FloraMicro: 4.5 ml/gal (This provides essential micro-elements and buffers the solution. FloraGrow: 6.1 ml/gal (This is the primary source of Nitrogen (N) for rapid leaf and stem growth.) FloraBloom: 3.0 ml/gal (A smaller dose is included to ensure all necessary P/K elements are present, even in veg.) CalMag Boost: Crucially, I added 1.9 ml/gal of CalMag. Motivation: This ensures the plant has enough Calcium and Magnesium to prevent deficiencies and handle the increased light intensity, especially as it recovers from stress. Part 2: pH Adjustment and Application The Critical pH Check: I tested the pH of the nutrient solution. Motivation: Nutrients are only available to the roots within a specific pH window. I adjusted the mix using pH down (as is usually the case with the Flora Series) until the solution was dialed in between 6.0-6.5 for optimal uptake. The Watering Technique: I slowly and evenly applied the nutrient solution to the container, making sure the entire medium was saturated. Run-off Check (The Final Step): The most important part of this session was checking the run-off. By testing the run-off EC and pH, I confirmed that the root zone is healthy, that the plant is taking up food, and that old salts aren't building up in the container. Summary of Results Everything looks good! With the perfectly balanced and measured nutrient cocktail, the Special Kush 1 now has the necessary fuel (especially the high nitrogen from the 6.1 ml/gal FloraGrow) to heal quickly and push those two newly topped branches into strong growth, setting us up for success with the manifold!

Here she is. Dawg daze reaching her final stages . She's fattening up beautifully n smells amazing. Only fed tap water every other day as needed. So far just waiting on her to finish up. Will update next week on her growth. Grow easy.

Hi there Friends🕊️ Last week the Banana‘s left Stem snaped. I covered it in tape and it didnt dry out. The i removed it Like 2-3 days later because i wanted to cut the branch off, to let the plant spend her Energy in the healthy ones. But the i saw how strong it got and decided to even LST the broken stem even more because it strenghtened the left over parts. Now it recovered really good and got a defoliation. Maybe i will Cover up the Open Crack🤷‍♂️

We are happy of the results, but in the next batch we will be put 8 plantas and AC

1st week of bloom its Lit. Auto flowers going crazy and Photoperiods doing not bad at all.

Since my last grow i have a problem with powdery mildew... So on veg. i just spray Sulfur and worked fine... (the smell is terrible....) now i am in flower and found the mildew again... i try a new mixture: dry common horsetail 1 onion 1 garlic cook that for around 1 hour. Then i flux it 1:5 with water. The smell is not so bad and just for 2 days. The leaf and flower not change color or smell. Hopefully it works! i will spray that now every week. Update: Flower Day 20 I start with the Top dressing on all Plants. They start to frost. The powdery mildew spreads :'( i dont know what else i can do?! i spray again!

Week 8 flower and the OG Kush looks like fire 🔥 so frosty and covering everything. I thought this seed was a dud but it is definitely not! Flowers are not huge but that’s ok. Tight, frosty, and the smell very nice and getting stronger. The development is slow and has been since the beginning, might be something I’m doing or did, not to sure? Lights are at 12” and she is responding well. Looks like about two weeks to go. TS 600’s have done well again! Blimburn OG Kush seems to be producing some potent looking flowers. Need to do a better job taking care of the fungus gnats moving forward. Thanks for the view!

The warm weather has returned! (This has been such an odd year weather wise.) Also so has the humidity. There was a few days in between the end of last week and the middle of this one that were perfect, temps in the 60's and low humidity of like 40% RH. Looks like a lot of rain in the next coming week so just glad the girls get to soak up all this sun! An increase in nutes should also help with growth, slow and steady wins the race. Almost to peak level of nutrients, probably next week.

Wow, what a difference a week makes! Amazing growth of new stems and foliage. Continued to do LST. She is responding well to it and increased light power to 100%. Experienced a little light burn the first day, but raised it up to 18" again. She grew a few inches and didn't raise light accordingly. Trying to manifold and spread out, hopefully filling up as much space as possible. Did some light defoliation to open up the light to the lower area.

This is my second time growing a Girl Scout Cookies autoflower! She turned out amazing! She showed signs of high potency, from early on in flower!
