Day 26 – On the Verge of Flowering We’re now on Day 26 of the grow, and the Sweet Skunk Automatic is entering a critical stage. After nearly four full weeks of vegetative growth, the plant continues to appear healthy and structurally compact. Leaf growth remains vigorous, and the internodal spacing is still tight—a good indicator of strong light exposure and stable environmental conditions. This week marks the likely transition period into the early flowering stage, which typically begins around week 4 to 5 for this autoflowering strain. While no pistils are visible yet, we expect the first signs of pre-flowering to appear within the next few days. Weather Recap & Outlook The past week brought mixed conditions—cool nights and scattered showers slowed growth slightly but didn’t cause any stress symptoms. Now, a more favorable pattern is setting in: • Daytime highs are climbing steadily toward 24–26°C • Nighttime lows remain above 10°C, reducing root zone stress • Plenty of sunshine is forecasted for the coming days, especially mid to late week These improved conditions should provide the perfect push for the plant to fully enter bloom. We’ll be watching closely for the first white hairs and signs of stretching. The stage is set. If everything stays on track, we’ll enter the flowering chapter of this grow very soon

1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 days🙏 ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more days🙏😟..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.👌 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 1/19: Looks like the FIM job didn't take on one of them..but she's got perfect symmetry. WIll probably have to just top her again next week...gonna be a tall one I think. Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. That's it for week 4-

Hey Farmers. Another successful harvest! Let's start off with the weigh in. This time around we got 207 grams of bud, none of which I would qualify as top shelf. We also got 47 grams worth of larf, which is a lot, and lastly we have 22 grams of frosty trim. I will be more specific about the taste and feel of the plant in the smoke comment below. I dried her in cardboard boxes, the total dry time ended up taking 10 days. I got a very nice rootball, especially when compared to my early days. I'm using Calcium hypochlorite to combat pythium growth in my growbucket, as well as providing free chlorine for the plant to uptake. It's a very cheap and effective way to run a "Sterile" DWC run, although you have to be very careful when handling and dosing, if you want to know how I calculate my dose, check below. It's a great and cheap alternative to UC Roots. for Calcium Hypochlorite I use HTH Pool shock, its 67% Chlorine, don't just buy HTH pool shock, as its contents vary by country, try and buy pure Calcium Hypochlorite with 70% chlorine from an online Lab supply store, its dirt cheap and 1 KG will last you a lifetime for less than 40 bucks, i aim for 2ppm of free Chlorine in my reservoir, this will slow down growth of bacteria, and is still relatively low in dose so our root hairs don't take too much damage. ALWAYS Check the chlorine of your Calcium Hypochlorite, Mines 67% the following is the calculations I use, feel free to adjust the formulas to your needs: 2 ppm chlorine from 67% strength Calcium Hypochlorite and I want to fill an empty 2 litre bottle with 0.5% Chlorine which will serve as my stock solution (2000x0,5) / 67 = 14,9 14,9 grams of 67% strength Calcium Hypochlorite to get a 2L Chlorine bottle with 0.5% strength !! Be careful with this Stock bottle. 0.5% Doesn't sound like a lot, but it is HIGHLY corrosive and will give you chemical burns !! I then want to turn that stock bottle with 5000mg Chlorine per litre into 2mg/litre which is 2 ppm.. (There are 1,000,000 milligrams (mg) in 1 litre (L)) (0,0002x1000) / 0,5 = 0.4 which is 0.4, so 0.4 ml of the stock solution per litre of water then gets me 2mg/l total chlorine in my plant buckets note that I don't use this in late flower once I start feeding Green sensation. mainly because Green sensation is 80% bio and I'm not sure how well the two would work together and at this point, roots no longer grow anyway and pythium is unlikely if you're a little smart in the final weeks

Succesfully trained plants for an eve n canopy. All plants are 30 days old from seed. Trellis net is great addition for bending stems giving them more uniformed lighting, using them for mid veg stage since the branch is flexible and the trellis net sets a good line measurement for popcorn buds removal during preflower. Looking forward for preflower.

Hola! Bueno, ha comenzado otra semana -creo que la última en vegetación- y el crecimiento de la planta es asombroso. Actualmente tiene 66 cm de alto. La lámpara está a unos 12,5 cm de distancia de la misma, y ya no me va quedando mucho espacio para subirla. Ha comenzado a tener un débil olor, el cual es muy rico. Tengo mucha fe en este cultivo. Realmente el sistema hidropónico me está sorprendiendo. Saludos!

7. Juni Die Dinger wachsen munter weiter. Mittlerweile ist der Geruch wirklich extrem intensiv wahrnehmbar. Sehr süßlich. Buds sehen wunderschön aus, sind allerdings noch etwas mager.

June 10: very nice late spring day but the air is too dry for seedlings. To raise the humidity I’m misting the leaves a few time a day. Good for seedlings but also bigger vegetating plants. Check out the owl video. June 14: rain all day. About 50-60 mm so far.

👉Dropped Seed into solution of 1:16 H202/ H20. After 48hrs the shell split and the tap root started peeking out. Then placed in black plastic container between two squares of cellulose fiber towel and soaked in the H202/H20 solution. After 24 hours the tap root has grown to 1/4" and was then placed into the media. The plant emerged two days later and is healthy.

Woche 5 - Vorletzte Woche der Vegetation und beeindruckende Entwicklung Die fünfte Woche markierte die vorletzte Vegetationswoche, und die Pflanzen zeigten weiterhin bemerkenswertes Wachstum und Gesundheit. Die Nährstoffe und das Gießschema blieben unverändert, wobei der EC- und pH-Wert sowohl im Drain als auch in der Nährlösung stabil auf optimalem Niveau waren. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit wurde leicht auf 60 % gesenkt, während die Temperatur weiterhin im Bereich von etwa 22 bis 26 Grad blieb. Die Pflanzen setzten ihr Wachstum in beeindruckendem Tempo fort und entwickelten enorme Seitentriebe. SPOILER !!!: Ohne jegliches zusätzliches Training bildeten sich am Ende der Woche 16 bis 18 Hauptnebenbuds sowie jeweils ein zentraler, kräftiger Headbud. Die Genetik dieser Pflanzen erwies sich als absolut außergewöhnlich. ENGLISH Week 5 - Final Week of Vegetation and Remarkable Development The fifth week marked the penultimate week of vegetation, and the plants continued to show remarkable growth and health. The nutrient and watering schedules remained unchanged, with EC and pH levels stable at optimal values, both in the nutrient solution and the drain. Humidity was slightly reduced to 60%, while temperatures stayed in the range of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius. The plants kept growing at an impressive rate and developed enormous side branches. Without any additional training, by the end of the week, they formed 16 to 18 main side buds along with a strong central head bud. The genetics of these plants proved to be absolutely outstanding.

the seedlings germinated on September 22 in the biobizz light mix soil after 13 days I administered 1ml / lt. advanced nutrients ph perfect grow 1ml / lt. ph perfect micro 1ml / lt. 2ml / lt. b-52 2ml / lt voodoo juice after 4 days I repeated the fertilization with 1.4ml / lt of the main nutrients and 2ml / lt of b-52 after a few days I noticed some burnt tip signs of overfertilization so from day 12 I started giving demineralized water until the outflow for 3-4 times until a few days ago that I noticed a yellowing of the upper part and spots that look like calcium or potassium deficiency I was also wondering if I can do without the cal-mag since the ph perfect micro contains a lot of calcium. tomorrow I give the third dose of nutrients hoping they will recover since nothing has changed with the first two fertilizations Days 39 they do not seem mileage even after a week of fertilization even if at very low dosages the next time I increase the nutrients and let's see what happens Days 41 it looks like it's going well they still look nutrient deficient the next time we increase the dosage.

Everything is going good happy with the progress, I flipped the lights about 5 days ago and put another net up yesterday just to see the stretch progress, I started to use bio bloom and bio topmax with feeds. Hopefully I start to see some little buds forming. 😃
