🌱 Grow Journal – Week 8 This week, the plant kept growing steadily and looks healthy overall. She gained almost 8 centimeters in just seven days—that’s more than a centimeter per day, which is a great sign of strong development. I’m planning to work on her structure a little: probably a topping in the coming days, along with a light defoliation. The goal is to open up the canopy, improve airflow, and make sure the light is distributed more evenly, while guiding her growth in a balanced way. The main challenge this week has been the pH. This morning, the reservoir measured 4.8 while the tray was at 5.2, a 0.4 difference. I honestly don’t understand why the drop was so sharp. I had added Athena Balance, which should stabilize the nutrient solution. The only explanation I can see is the heat—we hit almost 31°C this weekend, and I suspect the nutrient solution was heavily affected by the temperature rise. If anyone reading this journal has insights on why this happens, I’d be glad to hear them. It’s a bit frustrating, because Autopots are supposed to make things simple. But in reality, I still need to monitor closely, especially since the coco buffer doesn’t seem to be doing its job properly—or maybe the reservoir just dropped too low and threw everything off. Either way, I’ll stay vigilant. Hopefully, with summer ending and temperatures cooling down, the solution will stabilize and the pH won’t swing so much. On the positive side, I’m still really happy with Athena nutrients. The solution stays crystal clean, no buildup, no deposits, and that makes things a lot easier to manage. So overall: strong growth, healthy plant, but pH management continues to be the main challenge. Let’s see how things evolve next week.

There are harvesting in a few days.

Beginning of week 9(Flower): Plant still isn’t doing much, but she does look damn good. I love this plant. The entire apartment seems to smell when walking in. I realized I may have had my carbon filter setup wrong. I was pulling air from the grow tent without the filter inside, it would push the air out of the fan and through another duct and then finally into the carbon filter. I feel a lot of the smelly air was escaping this way. Hopefully this makes a difference. I took a clipping of a sugar leaf today and put it under my 60x microscope. This is my first time really checking on the trichomes, so I could be completely off, but it seems that 10% of the trichomes turned amber. I should be waiting for 30% amber before I harvest this? 2 more weeks I think? I’ll continue to check each week. Maybe I’ll try to get a check mid-week sometime. It has been 1 week now since I’ve given her nutrients, still looking really healthy.

Apologies that this took me so long to update! This harvest was probably my second favorite, after my Choc Mint OG. Even tho the yeild was low due to only having 1 plant after a season on downs.

What up family, weekly update on these girls. I raised the lights 6in this week to allow some stretch but still keeping 400-600ppfd at the canopy level. Over all they're progressing beautifully. I started adding 2.5ml/gal of Athenas Blended line Grow A & B. Haven't seen any burnt leaf tips so I think they'll be OK adding a little boost. All in all Happy Growing.

G'Day me ol muckers. This week ive been mostly jumping from piers with a tinny of VB in hand and diving on the local reefs looking for Muffs. 18.6.25 - feed -2ltr 19.6.25 - water 2ltr,1.5ltr 20.6.25 - water 1.5ltr 21.6.25 - feed 2ltr 22.6.25 - water 1.5ltr - more defoliation 23.6.25 - feed 2ltr 24.6.25 - water 1.5ltr heights 72cm, 50cm Its amazing to see just how different these pheno's are. I wonder how they will taste. They both are enjoying a good old feed and water. still thirsty little buggers. Anyways thanks for stopping by you gorgeous bogans. see ya next week. Peace.

Just a nasty little runt that couldn’t take the heat and crazy weather! Had this happen twice before with autos specifically. Not going to waste any more time! Oh well! On to the next! ✌️🏻💚

Strawberry Pie Auto ~~~~04.20.23~~~~ Day 13 - Above Ground 🔸05.06.23 -So these girls continue to be amazing, scuffed up the soil today, and added airstones to my reservoir, even though it is just water maybe the plants will enjoy the extra oxygen!, the Medic Grow Smart 8 LED is doing very well, at 40% the plants are getting plenty of light and not showing any signs of over-stretching! 🔸05.03.23 - Just over the last 4 days these plants are just growing vigorously and healthy, first real watering today and the plants are starting to eat that Gaia Green amended soil and loving it, the Medic Grow Smart 8 LED is doing very well, at 40% the plants are getting plenty of light and not showing any signs of over-stretching! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 📝Strawberry Pie Auto 📝Grown By: MrJones 📝@fastbuds_official 📝Soil - ProMix HP 📝Medic Grow Smart 8 LED - SETTINGS 40% V1 📝@medicgrow420 📝@gaiagreenorganics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 📝 A true delight with a delicious aroma and a stunning 26% THC.

D92/FD64 - Nothing new to report here...pistils darkening some and retracting so getting there. Not really that frosty I must say but then again, no UVB on them to give them that boost! Still feared for the 2 big girl colas, they were nearest the Botrytis outbreak on the Red Hot Cookies - bought a Hotbox Sulfume (and about 50 other potential organic pesticide options from Potassium Bicarb to Trichoderma/Bacillus mixes!!! :P ) for the next run but thinking of an emergeny couple of 2 hour blasts to ensure any spores in there killed as if I dont, I may have nothing at all at the end of this! It's either live with a *possible* taste (A lot of people seem to say short blasts, a couple of days apart, leaves no [discernable] taste, even v. late in flower - plus most finishers/flushers are high in Sulfur as the plant uses it for terps/oils and the likes) or no taste as everything is for the firepit!!! Apart from that, just monitoring for any weird changes to sugar leaves that may imply signs of trouble. Happy growing all!!! 💪

Start of week 4

Look at this baby 😍everything coming along just fine. These girls are going strong. Feeding about every 3 days, Did light defoliation. Cheers!!

They pulled out of the power outage wish I coulda seen what they done without all the undue stress from bad temps and no light for a day....

Luego de un estancamiento de aprox 3 días por el corte apical, vuelve con su ritmo normal de crecimiento, se aplica técnica LST para separar un poco ambos brotes y facilitar penetración de la luz

Water week 6/1

Added some potassium sulfate and they seemed to bounce back but now they want calcium and I’m pretty sure the potassium I put in is antagonistic to calcium. I might harvest early to prevent any trichome degradation due to photosynthesis being halted, trichomes are looking milky too.

I know these are not typical ways of training but then again the norm was not the norm at first :)

End of Week 3 update for the Exodus Cheese and GH Cheese, looking really good, just need to feed em abit more Nutes because they are looking hungry. I have uploaded a video for you guys 👍🏾🌱💚😎
