Week 8/9 Challenges & Continued Growth! (May 21st - May 31st) Welcome back, dudes! This update covers the period from May 21st to May 31st. We've got some good progress, but also a minor hiccup that I've been tackling. It looks like I messed up with the pH for a bit, and as a result, my White Widow XXL Auto has developed a visible Cal-Mag deficiency. This is a bummer, but it's something I'm actively working to correct. Live and learn, right? I'll be keeping a close eye on her and adjusting things to get her back on track. The good news is that the other girls are handling things much better: Auto Banana Blaze (Dutch Passion) - Both Plants: Both Banana Blazes are feeling good and continuing to progress well. They seem less sensitive to the slight pH fluctuation and are just cruising along. Auto Kong 4 (Paradise Seeds): The Auto Kong 4 is still doing its own thing. Up until now, it's primarily been on just water, but I did add some GHF Bio Grow to her recently to give her a boost. She's looking healthy and building structure. Overall, it's a mixed bag this week with the White Widow showing some stress, but the rest of the crew is powering through. It's a constant learning process, especially when trying to balance multiple plants with slightly different needs. Stay tuned for the next update as I work to resolve the deficiency and these plants push further into flowering!

Seems Strawberry will stretch a bit and C-Vibez ) started producing budsites. Trying to lighty defoliate this week and focus on reducing nutrients cause ppm runoff is 1000. I realized this week as I am using RO water I need to supplement more calcium/ magnesium and as all plants were transplanted from BioBizz Lightmix to BioBizz Allmix they all have lot of nutrients in soil. I will just sprinkle a little bit of epsom salt , add low amount of calmag to water with very low amount of REMO nutrients, pH to 6.2 and that is it. Usually I used much lower REMO or BioBizz dosages based on my feeling but then my last diary ( 4 Dutch passion) I had very bad grow. Those 4 plants were transplanted to soil from previous grow ( BioBizz Lightmix + Allmix) to big pots as seedlings so it was hard to measure runoff and ppm of soil spec earlier in the veg. So for this grow my mindset was to follow the charts as much as possible so after 4 weeks of seedling phase in BioBizz Lightmix I transplanted into 18 L AllMix and also started feeding remo in lower dosage but proceeded to increase dosage to remo schedule dosage in a month of veg. I will try to water till runoff and measure to not make same stupid mistakes. Also soon I will be trying Dogma Organic SuperSoil and I will try to compare same genetics in soil with nutrients, dwc and supersoil. My understanding is that using straight RO water in living soil can be problematic so I will keep in mind that factor. My RO filter on the tap has mineralization it comes out 50 ppm. Clones will soon be ready for transplant, I am planning to keep only few alive as I will not have space for all of them, both tents will be available for flower of these clones in around 2 months so plan is to veg few of them in soil and two of them in my DWC setup until Flower tents are ready. HEIGHT Strawberry Cough (80 cm after SCROG) C-Vibez (55 cm after SCROG #2 Strawberry Cough (50 cm after SCROG) First watering 2. day of the week: C-Vibez 6 L 600 pm 6.2 ph RUNOFF: 6.5 ph 1000 ppm Strawberry Cough 5 L 470 ppm 6.4 ph RUNOFF: 6.6 ph 1000 ppm Strawberry Cough #2 in 40L pot is still heavy and I will just water around the plant a little with very light dose of nutrients and sprinkled little epsom salts Second watering 5. day of the week: C-Vibez 6 L 400 pm 6 ph RUNOFF: 6.5 ph 1000 ppm measured runoff only in this one Strawberry Cough 5 L 400 ppm 6.2 ph Strawberry Cough #2 mixed 7 L 330 ppm 6.5 ph that i will likely water till end of the week.

First day in Flower! It's been... very interesting 2 weeks.. now that I survived tha, im having some lockout due to being unable to take care of my plants for the past 5 days and someone having no idea had to do the job, I'm not afraid of showing these mistakes I'm always looking forward to the outcome so I'm still having some hopes for this og kush, not everything here went as planned and that's why I want to focus on finishing up the grow and starting new ones, better ones as soon as possible, I will definitely never grow autos again as I'm just not a fan of them having to be on 18/6 schedule and I like having co trolley over my plants as sometimes things can go wrong. Og kush had a lockout after flush it grew beautiful but still ate up some of the upper leaves. Runtz.. yeah I like him he is a beautiful little bonsai he didn't get lockout too much but also did I'm looking forward to seeting the stretch on him if it so happens. Cherry gusher, a tiny pheno I got this time I'm looking forward to growing 4 next time and hunt down a pheno. They say outdoors you have to play with God and indoor you try to play God.. we are not perfect and that's why I'm looking forward to the finish line. Will i scrog? I have the net setup but I'm not sure if I will get enough stretch. Day 3 I noticed some light white spots on bottom leaves of the plant after a flush I did recently, I diagnose this as magnese or magnesium deficiency, I'm going to up the cal mag to 8 ml and a+b to 10ml per 5 L of water along with additives extra 0.5 ml just as a touch up. Also I noticed we are at 47cm at the tallest branch after topping and lst and this thing is an absolute bush.. I could probably hide behind it if I was a kid playing hide and seek!.

It's been an exciting journey training my plants, and I'm happy with the progress they've made. I've been implementing various training techniques to encourage healthy growth and maximize yields. The plants have responded positively to the training, and I'm hopeful that they will continue to thrive and develop as planned. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome!

Still sticking to the same "flower" feed I've been holding in. I will probably chop these in different times. But they are all starting to look GREAT! You can tell my friend the defoliator stopped by! He really got em looking good! ____________________________________________________________ Ok up until now I've been a bit pessimistic about this grow. But they are all finally well in bloom and looking at them one-on-one its impossible not to love them. They are all VERY individual grows, but they have BEAUTIFUL nugs forming up on ALL plants!!! As a bonus, I checked the top dog and she's ready for the chop! I gave her a bit of RIPEN with this feed and I'll probably take her down this weekend and wait for the others to finish. ___________________________________________________________ These plants are finishing very nicely! I'm getting pretty happy as they near the finish line. Def gonna take down 1 plant in a day or two, possibly two! _____________________________________________________________ Really I feel like things are ahead of schedule. I never intended to be done on week 9. I decided to do one more feed as the ripen seems to be giving them a very nice fade! The slow pokes are gaining on the finished plants and i'm hoping they are only about a week behind. But again there isnt a rush to finish. One benifit to this big flower tent is i think I can still continue to cycle the tents even if a couple plants need to chill a bit longer. We'll see what happens next week

*If anyone read through my GDP diary, this is going to be mostly the same stuff. So, sad day friends. I got spider mites and had to throw all my plants out. This is what I think happened: About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed some freckling on the lower leaves. I looked at it and thought it might be a cal/mag issue so I added cal/mag that week and went about my business. I saw it about a week later and it wasn't getting any better so I added more cal/mag. This continued for about 2-3 weeks until I finally took off a leaf and examined it under my microscope. I saw little bugs crawling everywhere and my stomach just dropped. My fiance did some quick research while I was panic ripping leaves off (see pictures) and she correctly diagnosed it as spider mites. I debated with myself and my close friend and ultimately I decided to throw all the plants in my tent away. I know that there are a lot of people who will say that there are things I could have done to make it to harvest but what it came down to is the people I take care of and personal pride. I consider myself a caregiver and I give away product for free that I am not going to use to my family and close friends. I thought to myself "Would you smoke this?" and when my answer was "ehhh, I don't know", I thought about how it would feel giving it away and immediately made the decision to destroy them. I take an immense amount of pride in my product and this hobby and if I am not going to stand behind it I would rather just start over. I grow from my heart (shout out to the Grow From Your Heart Podcast!) to help people and make sure my family is not getting unsafe product from sketchy people. To spray pesticides in flower that may hurt people and have little bug carcasses in there just goes against that in every way and is just wrong in my opinion if you are giving it away to others. If you are the only one smoking it then it is one thing to take that risk but not with your patients. I want my medicine to help people, not create or exacerbate health issues. It is also important to note that the mites had moved from my flower tent into my veg space and took over my auto berry as well. Damn things are crafty and fast. So that is why I made the decision to destroy them all after 3+ months of res changes, pruning, and manifolding on a slow vegging strain. Feel free to chime in with your opinion but I do not regret my decision. I threw out my new clones, mother plant, and auto berry I had on my veg side as well. Shout out to all the other growers out there that do the right thing by their patients. Caregivers > Cash croppers. For anyone curious, I removed everything from my tent and scrubbed it all with a 20% bleach/water solution. All equipment has been wiped down and stored in the garage away from any organic materials. I will give them until tomorrow (2 days) to air out and dry and then I will wipe it down again with bleach and wait another 2 days. Hopefully that will make sure everything is dead and will not come back next grow. That next grow should start in about a week. It sucks but sometimes it happens and you gotta be ready for it. Lesson learned. Never bring outdoor plants into your indoor garden even if it is after just a day or two. A bunch of people on here and Reddit warned me and I did not listen. Now I have learned the hard way and it feels like when your parents "told you so" haha. Thanks to everyone who stopped by along the way. Stay tuned for a new grow coming soon. It is going to be some cool new limited edition Mephisto Illuminautos. I am pretty excited. Good luck out there and always grow from your heart folks. -Grim

Removed all lower fan leaves and fan leaves from bud sites to maximize yield. Hoping it wasn’t too late for this but seems to have reacted positively.

So I thought the plants was going to be a flop but they turned it around, really long time tho for a auto flower, I could of ran photos with a better yield, but never the less these look like 10/10 nugs and smell amazing i can't wait to see how these look dried off.

Rozdíly mezi Florganics a Biobizz jsou nyní dost znát. Biobizz má 2x větší květy (ne dost velké na to v jakém jsou týdnu) a zelenější barvy. Zalévám každé 3-4 dny 10 litry vody s vypsanými živinami. Florganics má malé květy které se moc nevyvíjí, má světle zelené listy které se začínají zbarvovat do fialové. Přidal jsem jim canna PK 13/14 protože jim očividně chybí jídlo.

5/31 Week 6 Finally she is no longer growing vertically. The bulking up is starting as she now has much more space and thus light at all levels of her growth. She will continue receiving the occasional shot of PK when it looks needed. Afraid to hope for what it looks like will happen here 6/2 Pics She is taking over the 4x4 The more room she gets the more she seems to want, she will be alone in there soon enough. Time of a shot of PK tonight at lights on - 2ml/gal Nuets prob stay as is for the duration cannot see any way to improve this situation. 6/4 Now Showing : The Beast of CBD Mountain Will she fill a 4x4 tent? Villagers are nervous... see it now! 6/5 Light swap HID out Mars TS-2000 in Reduced cocotek slightly to reduce nitrogen, some tips showing burn. Water needs reduced a good bit due to new light

This week has been a tough week as my son got into a bad accident so I wasn’t able to be home with the plants. I was away in the hospital for five days. I must say the one time I wasn’t home the system failed me by not draining after one of the feeding. In which caused my plants to get a little bit of a deficiency and bite burn as well. So I was very disappointed in that. Other then that they kept growing at light speed and the topped one is like oooooo watch me watch me and just showing off lol 😆! I don’t have many pictures from my phone only from my camera in the tent. So not the best quality but it’s something right? Well that’s it for now growmies wish everyone a great week and be safe and hold your loved ones as close as possible!!!!

The preflower stretch has been incomparable to any Soil grow I've seen! These sativas already caught up and don't show any signs of slowing down.
