So happy with the autopots and how well they plants are thriving. Instead of top dressing i decided to switch nutrients to cronks bonnie and Clyde for autoflowers. Did a half does to see how well it does at first. I make water in 2 gallon batches, 2 gallons with food, when empty, 2 gallons of with calmag.

Wicked week. Moving: This week report starts with my moving to a new apartment. It's actually not my first moving with a plant, but now it's kinda too big, so I asked my friends bag. Btw, the next day they stayed in different airports, so the bag didn't really smell after it ๐Ÿ˜‚ I poured out the water from the bucket, gently placed it into the bag. And then the main rule I had is to keep the bad vertically while transplanting. And I'd suggest to just walk with the bag to the destination place, but since it was too far, I needed to order an uber. It was quiet hard to find the right car, because I cannot put it into a trunk, and I needed to order a truck or find a car with a large interior, so i could put near foot. I chose the 2nd one. Don't like extra attention ๐Ÿ˜ Plant report: The moving was quiet easy for her, and not for me. She recovered quiet fast after it. But here I forgot to tie her down, which is my mistake, and the next day the grow up a lot, so it wasn't enough thread length anymore. Despite I don't use strings anymore, I still stretch her by myself with a bare hands few times a day. It actually works, just a bit worse, I guess. Usually I grow in closets, but here they have no space for it. So I need to think about her future home. I didn't want to buy a tent at the beginning, cause I think it's not that necessary. I still think so, they are way more overrated than the other 'grower stuff', but may be it would be more comfy with it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I forget, that my lamp was not 70% only, so I turned it to max now. I also found out, that I got almost infected from bamboo(week 2) not only by aphid, but by ebanaya Sciara also. And they are growing their fucking babies in a wet ground. So I kind of buried them. I wrapped opened medium in a package. Now I see and kill only 5 this little monster flying around, before that was counted in dozens. I keep defoliating every day 4-8 leaves. To remove old useless leaves, or to open a new ones. Finally, by the end of this week, preflower started. After that smell also changed a bit, now it's less 'plant' and more 'buds' in the air.

Day 71 Update: Watered both plants with almost a gallon until runoff. Water was just plain pH balanced water. Plant #1 has 5 days left on flush and Plant #2 has 11 days left on flush. Although with my tent filling up, I will probably harvest Plant #1 tomorrow as I don't think 4 days of being in there will make a difference in the end product. Day 72 Update: Harvested Plant #1 today. Plant #2 has 10 days left on flush. Day 74 Update: Watered plant with 3/4gal of pH balanced water until runoff. Plant #2 has 8 days left on flush. Also, added another stake to help support a heavier branch. Day 76 Update: Placed buds from Plant #1 in jars to start curing...maybe a little bit too long drying, but if that's the case I'll toss a boveda pack in. Plant #1's yield was 57.2g or 2oz 1.2g. Plant #2 will be harvested sometime next week and I will update the harvest page as soon as buds are dried and weighed.

Microscope shows the telltale amber in some of the trichomes :). Did a full system clean with H2O2, long rinse, and the new solution is just pH balanced water and FloraKleen. Some crispy leaves at the moment but I'm not worried. Harvest is coming soon! Next post will be a harvest post and early smoke report ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Getting there... cant wait for Spring Walls are up and painted, floor is laid, electrical all done, exhaust outlets mounted. Ive started to install the trim - I decided to put a grey stain instead of boring paint on the floor trim boards. Looks really solid against the dark bamboo floors. I used two gallons and two coats of flat pure white paint for walls and ceiling. Should give me a reflectivity somewhere around 80%. Some may ask why not opt for mylar? I just dont like the look. I dont care too much for reflectivity, as I will be well above the required watts/sqft with the light setup I will be using. I mounted an electrical receptacle in the ceiling, I thought it may come in handy for cord management. Im going to mount the 3 x meanwell drivers outside of the grow room and run some extra long cables to them. This is to keep heat out of the room, any little bit helps. Will be running a 8inch fan with about 750 CFM in order to properly vent the room. Intake will be a door vent and the negative pressure the fan provides. Odor is not too much of a concern, but may as well add a carbon filter. Tables to be built this week after trim is installed Week 1 Spend - $2080 Week 2 Spend - $350 (mostly on hardware store visits) Total so far - $2430

What's up fellow growers another week in the books!!! So after my last update I installed my Scrog net and everything was going along amazing until lastnight! I was doing some final tucking and Lst training trying to get the girls looking pretty for pictures today for u guys and pop goes the weasel!(Branch Snaps ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿค•) at first I was concerned but after some good tips and reassurance from this great growing community I did a tape repair on the girl but she still looked wilty last night but boom got up this morning and the leaves were standing and the bud sight was rising back to the light. I'm not out the woods for a few days and possibly a week of stress but I'm confident she will recover and drive on. We'll until next week fellow growers Happy Growing๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช Critical purple #1- is my slowest grower but is still vegging so I have faith that she will out produce Critical purple #2. Critical purple #2- I haven't noticed much growth in this plant since going into flower at just a day or two over three weeks old. But I have noticed growth in buds and pistols.. Pineapple auto #1- This girl was really coming along this week! I was so excited to show u guys/gals her progress so did some last minute tucking lastnight before bed and snapped a branch:(. Today she seems to be doing ok so hopeful she will not stress out and back track me a week but u live and u learn. Pineapple auto #2- Guys this is my ๐ŸŒŸ she is doing amazing and loving the scrog as you can see from the photos. With a fabric tape I measured her out to be 19 7/8 inches. This is my best growing plant of both grows I have going now.

Another amazing week with these beauties I am still feeding the same monkey nutrients couple seem to be burning through the feed quicker so I have upped the doses back to the full doses as I had dropped them slightly previously but they are so sticky ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ so I am trying to ensure the air circulation stays constant and the humidity stays at around 42 with the increased temperatures we have had here in the UK I have turned my extraction fan up to near jet engine status ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ thankfully its not really any louder than a fan so it's not been to bad and the carbon filter is doing a really good job at keeping the danky smell in the tent personally I love the smell not sure the neighbours would so much ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ณ in inlet fan and circulation fans are working hard but managing to keep temps from going above 29 there was one day I set Zues pro at 75% just to help temps drop The buds are really starting to get heavy now and there is literally no room left for anymore the highest tips are probably 4f 8 the tent is only 6ft 6 so the Zues pro 600 is as high as it can go now so thank goodness the home stretch is not that far away now. So I am really talking to them lots giving them lots of love and attention and preying these beauties continue to do there thing and grow there buds nice and fat with no issues ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘Œ Thank you for reading stay blessed ๐Ÿ’š

The buds are pretty airy.. Not dense at all. But still very happy with the outcome. Can't wait to have it all weighed out.. (Dry of course) The root ball was HUGE... I always have an issue with drying too quick (3 days) so, I'm hoping that the box with the computer fan will still move enough air to keep mold from growing.. But not too much to dry out too fast. Also, keeping it in an unused room that stays alot cooler than the rest of the house. Will update when dried and ready for jars! 50 hours of drying.. She still seems pretty moist.. At least.. That's what she said.. Lol.. Had to.. Anyways.. Yeah leaves are still pretty soft almost lively kinda still.. Not crispy.. Trying to make this dry super slow.. And NO hay smell so far.. That's a good thing.. I think.. As long as it still smells like dank.. Tired of drying my buds too quick or too much if I push for 4 days.. 3 days is not good enough.. Im pushing for at least.. AT LEAST 5 days drying and the buds still able to produce about 65% humidity, or so, on their own.. That is what has worked best for me.. Even if it dried in 3 days.. As long as I get the humidity right for curing it wont ruin the terpenes from what I have been experiencing.. Anybody got any other ideas? Lol cuz what I find on the net doesnt work for me.. I didnt wanna use a fan on this.. And im only using a very small weak computer fan that I rigged up to use even less power.. Just scared to dry this too quickor too much.. Thinking about turning the fan off for a little bit.. Maybe the rest of the day and night.. Ok.. So 6 hours after I turned the fan off.. Still reading 55% RH and 20.5C.. It shouldnt mold *crosses fingers* 74 hours drying.. The buds seem very very airy.. And it seems like its one of those types that look like alot but really weighs half of what it looks.. Maybe when I trim her up she'll look better.. Still a very fun and interesting learning experience! On to the next! Still going to update more!!! Probably tomorrow lol Its been a little over 100 hours of drying and the buds and leaves are feeling pretty crisp.. If I wait till the branches "snap" then it usually comes out too dry.. And so far jars 1 and 2 which are the popcorn buds is ready 70% after being in the jars for about 2 hours.. That is too wet still.. Just going to burp very frequently (3 or 4 times daily) and using a fan for a few minutes to help pull that moisture out and let her go right back into curing.. That's the best way I can get it to not smell like hay.. So far so good.. Still smells pretty dank. Some of the nugs are so linky it reminds me of Dr. Grinspoon's from Barney's Farm.. The calyxs are just spaced apart by stem.. Still looks pretty and smells great.. And smokes even better!.. Will update as I go... After about 24 hours in the jars.. The hygrometers are reading 70% - 75% so I left them out overnight to dry out a bit more.. Just put them back into the jars and will check on them when I get home from work tonight.. I'd much rather not dry enough.. Than over dry ANY DAY.. ifit was overdried, it would smell like hay.. But it still smells dank asf.. Plus.. This is just technically giving more time to dry before the cure.. I read that this is considered the "pre-cure phase"... Wish I would have read that before my last 3 - 4 harvests.. But I have learned it now.. So no more excuses for fuckin it up anymore lol.. https://www.cannabisprogrower.com/curing-cannabis/ That is the link to the way that I have started curing.. It seems to be working pretty well. This has details that I could not find anywhere else and basically had to try and figure out on my own... Then I came across this page.. This is the perfect method for curing in my opinion.. Works great for me! Its been in the jars for 6 days.. I now have the hygrometers reading 61% - 63%... According to that website.. I should stop burping daily.. That makes me a little nervous.. I will atleast open each jar daily to get a wiff of them lol.. They smell pretty good.. Not the best I've smelled.. But atleast I know I'm doing it right this time.. Geez.. The drying and curing is the most detailed part of growing.. My first time i thought you just dry it and throw it into the jars.. No matter how long or short of time it took lol.. My first grow was reading 49% after 3 days of drying.. With a fan!.. So glad I got it figured out finally! Made some Bubble Hash with the trim.. Havent weighed it.. But judging by the size (plus I used to be addicted to black tar heroin) it looks like it could be just about 2 grams.. I'll weigh it later.. Still haven't smoked any of it. I only used the 220 micron and 25 micron bags.. 220 to remove all the leafy substance and the 25 to catch all the trichomes.. Usually my bubble hash turns out very dry and breaks apart.. This stuff is super gooey.. Even after drying for 4 days.. Hmm... Smells amazing.. Wish I could smoke it.. I wonder if I could make capsules of this stuff.. And just take it like vitamins.. Lol.. If anybody has tried that or knows anything about it, comment please.. I'm curious A little after 2 weeks of curing.. The buds smell and taste pretty dank! I feel like I got the curing and drying down.. Yessss!

At this point i was a bit worries because despite trying to match indoor hours to outdoors gradually, and not going below 14, plants started to show signs of flowering. After some conversations i dicided to wait for it to reverse. First time this happened to me. If somebody has a protocol please let me know.

The plants are growing at a good rate now and drinking a litre each per day. I feed them by hand and each plant gets 2litres every other day. Didn't do anything else this week other than install the trellis on the last day. This plant is on the laft in the timelapse video.

Day 74 and there getting chopped today! I thought the harvest was going to be broken into two separate weeks considering the times on the Choco was listed about 7-10 days sooner then the DD (wich was listed at 70 days for flowering) However looking at the tricombs on the Chocolate Marshmallow most pheno didnt start getting amber untill the DDs did as well! A couple DD pheno could have maybe gone a couple more days but we will see! Going for reveg on all the pheno, since i didnt get to take any clones. We will see how it goes!
