Flipped ‘em to flower about a week ago. So far to my untrained eyes they’re looking great. I’m watering ever three days and feeding once every other watering. Mixture of fox farms nutrients (disregard amounts in stats above) at like 25-40 percent of full strength. Ppm was 700 and ppfd is 700-800 according to Photone. Disregard the little fella in the solo cup. I never transplanted it and just kept it in there. Now I’m just keeping it as a bonus plant plus to learn leaf symptoms, etc. I’m really excited to guide these through the home stretch! They’re already way bigger than my last, and first, harvest.

Hello, fellow cultivators! Week 7 with our magnificent Big Cheese Auto is like witnessing a green monster awaken, and the excitement is through the roof. Massive shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting. Our green beast is romping through her third week of flowering, and oh my, what a spectacle! It's like she's unleashed her inner monster, growing wild and free. The Autopot system is the backstage pass, allowing her to indulge in a nutrient feast on her terms. It's like the VIP treatment for a botanical rockstar. P-Boost and Topbooster, our dynamic duo, are pulling off some serious nutrient sorcery. Organic nitrogen, L-amino acids, trace elements, and natural stimulants are the secret ingredients to this blooming potion. The anticipation for those colossal, aromatic buds is reaching fever pitch. And there's more to the nutrient party! Say hello to K-Boost, the organo-mineral maturation booster that's about to elevate our Big Cheese Auto's bloom to new heights. This powerhouse contains a symphony of L-amino acids, potassium (K), and sulphur trioxide (SO3), creating a concoction that's nothing short of a maturation marvel. Picture it like a botanical spa treatment. The L-amino acids are the pampering session, promoting a luxurious maturation process. Meanwhile, the potassium (K) is the nutrient chauffeur, ensuring a smooth ride for our buds to reach their full potential. Sulphur trioxide (SO3) is the secret sauce, enhancing the overall yield and end quality. As we venture into the next phase of our green odyssey, K-Boost is here to ensure that our Big Cheese Auto not only blooms but does so with an unparalleled maturation finesse. The anticipation for a bountiful harvest with top-notch quality is now taken up a notch. I've thrown caution to the wind and let her go wild. It's like allowing a creature of the cannabis jungle to thrive in its natural habitat. No holding back, just the unbridled energy of a green beast in bloom. The canopy is turning into a wild tapestry, and I'm loving every untamed inch of it. Our TDS is dancing at a robust 420, and the pH is in perfect harmony at 6.0. It's like a botanical orchestra playing the sweetest tunes, all thanks to the Autopot and the nutrient magic. The leaf-bending spectacle continues. It's like a dance of chlorophyll, creating an even canopy that bathes in the natural light. Defoliation is on the horizon, a grooming session for our wild beauty. Ensuring every bud gets its moment in the spotlight. A heartfelt thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and the phenomenal community. Your support is the heartbeat of this green odyssey. As we plunge into the next week, the excitement is untamed. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's evolving into a botanical marvel. I can't wait to see the monstrous beauty that unfolds. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

More haircuts this week! I am very aggressively trying to keep up with the canopy growth. I'm continuing to remove the small branches underneath the canopy - more or less stripping the undergrowth, while defoliating around the growth sites that have made it to the canopy surface. I'm unsure of how much more growth to wait for before I send her into flower. Maybe next week? Who knows! Not me! Hah! Happily accepting any advice from any experienced main-liners out there! 😉 She's been super thirsty - I have to add a gallon every few days to keep up! I also started adding some p31 Microbes to the reservoir to see what I can see. 😎

Week 8 is going great, started flush toward the end of week 7 on Zkittlez and OG Kush. Also started flushing Pink Kush CBD and Purple Punch at start of week 8. All are packing weight still and smelling very fragrant. Trichomes are starting to cloud out and I am planning on harvesting when trichomes are starting to amber.

Hello, OK so this girl has been Flushing for 9days and will continue to flush for another 5 before I chop her down 🤟🙌🙏🎉🎊 She looks and smells amazing 👏 so 😍😋👌 will be back to update a harvest

Cruise control... Did a rez change, fresh new RO water + added calmag and nutes totalling 750ppm. Not much vertical growth. Buds fattening up now. tied up some of the branches and defoliated a little to allow more light penetration.

***** Week 11 growth - February 13 to 19, 2021 - Week 2 Flower ***** This girl is looking very nice but she is the shortest of the bunch. She has not growing out as wide and tall as the other girls in the tent but that could have changed with an extra week of Veg. 8 weeks from seed was quite quick to throw a girl into flower so it’s all good.....just noting it👍😃 2nd SCROG layer in now....finally😞 Lots of work to do in cleaning up the lower leaves next week. Will do larger leaf strip and lolipoping when they start focusing more on bud development. Light is at 24” only pulling 310 watt, and the meter at the tops of the girls is roughly 28,500LUX. It is feeling like it’s a little strong for them but it’s close......the curling leaves is slowly increasing on the tops. By the end of the week we are at 400watts and reading 38,500LUX, this should be roughly 980 umol/s/m2.......over 900 and less than 1,000.......should be good for going into week 3. Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 2.....but so-called back a couple of items. Adding some other items beyond IPP line so backing off some of the ppm to compensate. Still only one “feeding” per week. Early flower so hitting the microbes a little harder this week and next and then slowly start backing off. I like Remo’s Natures Candy for sweetener because it has humic, sweetener and old school molasses, amongst other things to feed the microbes as they are in coco. Bud Fusion being used now for pk boost.........no more “red kool-aid”😂 Still adding Rezin from Green Planet becuase it seems to boost my trichome quantity.....Terpinator likely this week as well......increase some of the sulfer to increase aromas. Little more detail....... Feb 13/21 - Day 8 - 3.5L watering with CalMag @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Resin @ 1.5ml Feb 14/21 - Day 9 - 2nd SCROG added today.....finally. Plucked a bunch more leaves in the process - watering with microbes only today. Recharge has some molasses in it so just adding that. - 4L water for these girls with Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal - 320ppm and 6.0pH Feb 15/21 - Day 10 - today is big feed day....its been 7 days. - 3L each girl with all the IPP line as listed plus silica @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml. (Bud Fusion was 0.2gr/L) - 1325ppm and 6.0pH - Girls gave run off at 3L today so didn’t push past that. Feb 16/21 - Day 11 - some feed left from yesterday so added 6L of plain water to dilute it and watered into the girls tonight. - 3L full feed of nutrients for each girl - 800ppm and 6.1pH Feb 17/21 - Day 12 - 3L each girl with Terpinator and CalMag @ 2ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal - 775ppm and 6.1pH - increased light power to 350 watts. Now at 32,500LUX.......take it slow over the next week and keep creeping up. Leaves have a bit of a taco shape coming out and looking fairly serrated at the edges.....pushing the light intensity on the tops👍 - leaf colour on the girls is very good......tips are not burnt either. Feb 18/21 - Day 13 -3L each girl of plain water today - added beneficial bacteria and enzymes @ 1.5ml - 330ppm and 5.9pH - was looking for a little lower pH as I have not been checking runoff. - have to do a leaf strip this weekend......start of week 3. - light power increased again, 400 watts now. Feb 19/21 - Day 14 - day out day.......they have not had one in a bit. - humidity was higher today as door to grow room closed today to assist clones with more humidity. So that takes us through two weeks of flower now. Not knowing this strain enough yet, I suspect feeding will stop at the end of week 6. That leaves four more weeks. I will treat the next two weeks like mid flower for nutes, and the following two weeks as late flower. Feed supplements accordingly. She is a nice plant and looking forward to seeing how her buds form. Looking good ETS!

Flowering day 52 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) All ladies look very healthy and delicious :-) We're slowly getting closer to the end. This week it was poured 3 times with 1.2 l each (sewing materials see table above) At the next watering there is a very light rinse with Clean Fruits so that the last nutrients can be slowly used up. The trichomes are now checked every day. I'm looking for my microscope with an app so I can take pictures of it 👍. I wish you a lot of fun with the update and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend and staying safe. Another great week for the ladies, as they are now about 2 weeks into flower, and the stretch is winding down. I am still feeding them silica, cal mag, and flower nutrients maxi bloom by GHE. I will start to add a PK booster this week. I also will be switching to light from V1 to F1 sometime this week, and also integrating the UV/IR bar into the light cycle later this week. I will run the UV/IR bar for approximately 30 minutes prior to lights off to get started. The 5X5 is really starting to fill up nicely, I am running two dehumidifiers outside of the tent and I am able to maintain around 50% RH in the tent during lights on, and around 55% RH with lights off. Still very happy with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 90% in the V1 cycle and will be transitioning to the F1 cycle later this week. Overall, the plants seem very happy and healthy. The temperature and humidity is significantly dropping so that helps keeping the tent cool and not overly humid. This is by far the best time of year to be flowering plants in my region. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

This was a really busy week but somehow I got in this tent and captured this girls beauty. She was still stretching so I put another (2nd) net In to secure her down but also to ensure that as she builds up she does not snap any branches. Be sure to visit my YouTube channel by search my name and subscribe if you don't mind. Thanks for stopping by.

This is an outdoor light depravation run on 3 Purple Push Pops(PPP). These were clones on May 5. I’m running this outdoor light dep grow side by side with my indoor garage grow. Each strain and site is set up to finish over 4 week period (July -Aug ). After they’re all finished I’ll post an average per strain in both the indoor and outdoor sites. That is, if I finish…. ____________________________ Two weeks ago at solstice they showed signs of flowering so I decided to go for a light dep grow and avoid the 100 degree days in September. I’m also trying to avoid moths and caterpillars, which frequently lay at night. These are outside during the day and placed into a closet at night. I have multiple issues to deal with: light leaks, high humidity and ventilation in the closet. Growing outdoors is easy, hand watering is a pain. I have some pumps and drip systems but moving them every morning and evening makes that hard to connect and disconnect every time. So, this is just a test and we will see how things go. I’m also growing a few black cherry gelatos, both in and out. So check those out. Best of luck on your grow.

It's been a big week for these girls and I have a LOT of photos as well as a video. It's a lot to rearrange because I should have uploaded them in better order. Maybe I'll fix it later, but for now most of the content from 8/5 is before 8/1 On 8/1 I purchased some spent hardwood substrate blocks from a local mushroom farmer down the road. I crumbled them around the base of each plant. My main reasoning was because of the Night Nurse that's been having some problems, but in the end I think all the plants will benefit from the added mycelium, especially during this flowering phase. The mycelium will spread through the root network allowing a greater uptake of nutrients in trade for sugars, which I'm supplementing in the form of molasses. I also defoliated the fan leaves on 8/5 since we're only a couple weeks from harvest. I think it was a good sign that those leaves were strong and weren't easy to come off. We got a lot of rain that day!

Day 73. Both girls down, smallest, slowest from all 6 strains that I tried. But it was a heavy push grows, were some girls didn't get best or even normal conditions ... Day 82. Both trimmed and went straight to vacuum sacs. Happy Growing !!!

Flowers are coming along nicely.end of week swelling starting to incre

(11/04-11/10) First Week Notes & Observations: One week old, not much to report to report other than the first plant is smaller than the second at the start of the week. Removed the domes as the humidity in the tent is set pretty high and think it should be fine. RH this week was monitored for 80% Temps were monitored for 78F daytime and 68-70F overnight. Lights were adjusted to provide 280ppfd on plant 1 and 270ppfd plant 2 - that is also the max for this week. It's an increase from 150 last week. Feed & Monitor: Day 11 - both plants were fed about .80 gallons of 5.8ph de-chlorinated tap water for runoff. Both plants produced .25 gallons of 6.7ph and 1980/1950ppm runoff measured with 2 ph pens that were tested&calibrated first. Plant 1 top soil test after feed was avg 6.62 and plant 2 avg 6.85 both plants were tested 3 times on top soil. Made a video of plants.... not sure what is expected here, but think it will just be for fan movements and free music. Hope everyone enjoys the daily progressions of overhead and side profile (Organized Chaos). I will try to add Black back or cover pics by end of week every week.

What a plant! 2 of the 7 harvested a few days in front of the rest but they are amazing, the way they grew the final few weeks was amazing, they look like there double in size, maybe more compared to the lemon cherry, not slagging the 🍋s off because they look stunning, and smell like heaven, anyway, I can’t wait to get these dried and cured, but not to rush them 🙄😂, will update each plant as they come with a final update at the end with a smoke review

28.10. Progress Overview • Eight days in, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 plants are showing steady recovery after the early topping on Day 4. • Growth momentum has returned — new shoots are visible at the main nodes, and side branching is beginning to expand. • The overall impression: slightly slowed by topping stress, but still on track for a healthy vegetative rhythm. ⸻ Post-Topping Recovery • The plants clearly felt the cut — minor stress signs visible (slight leaf curl and slower new growth). • However, the color remains strong, and all tops are pushing new growth tips already. • This brief recovery dip is expected after early topping and should stabilize completely within the next few days. • Once the new shoots strengthen, canopy management and gentle LST can begin. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips issue hasn’t disappeared entirely — still visible, but very minimal. • Continuous counter-measures are in place to keep the population suppressed. • So far, the balance seems under control, though full eradication will take consistent attention. • No major new damage spots seen — a positive sign that the preventive strategy is working. ⸻ BioTabs Performance • The BioTabs organic system continues to hold its promise: stable nutrition, no burn, no deficiency. • Even under light stress, the plants show resilience — a good indicator of strong microbial activity and root health. • The living-soil dynamic keeps everything buffered and calm, helping recovery without any liquid feed adjustments. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • Next focus: allow the plants to fully bounce back before applying any further training. • Maintain airflow and humidity control to discourage pest rebound. • If the recovery trend continues, Week 2 should close with a well-structured, evenly topped canopy ready for shaping. ⸻ 🌱 Day 8 Summary: Mild topping stress visible, but recovery underway. Thrips presence minimal and managed. The BioTabs system keeps everything stable — resilience and structure are returning fast, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 still shows solid potential moving into full Week 2. ———————————- ——————————— 01.11. Progress Overview • The vegetative phase officially comes to an end — today marks the transition into flowering. • The light cycle was switched from 18/6 to 12/12, meaning tomorrow begins Flower Day 1. • Overall, the run looks solid: strong structure, healthy color, and good vitality, with only minor pH adjustments needed. ⸻ Soil & pH Situation • Current soil pH measured at 5.7, slightly below the ideal range. • Early signs of a calcium lockout were noticed, but detected in time before major impact. • Corrective measures are underway to bring the medium back up to 6.3, the target zone for optimal nutrient uptake. • Adjustments are being made gradually to avoid disturbing the microbial activity sustained by the BioTabs system. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips and general pest presence are now almost completely gone. • Continuous preventive work has paid off — the situation is under firm control. • No new damage visible; foliage remains clean and healthy. • This is the most stable pest status since the start of the run — a clear sign that the reset and preventive routine were effective. ⸻ Plant Condition • Plants remain strong and compact after early topping; internodes uniform and canopy even. • Minor signs of stress linked to the low pH, but overall vigor remains high. • Once the pH correction stabilizes, calcium uptake should normalize and growth will accelerate again. ⸻ BioTabs System Performance • The BioTabs organic feeding system continues to demonstrate resilience and balance. • Even under suboptimal pH, the living-soil biology buffered the stress effectively — no burn, no deficiency spiral. • Root zone remains active, and microbial life appears to be compensating for the short-term nutrient block. ⸻ Outlook • Focus for the next few days: confirm that pH correction holds steady and monitor for the start of the stretch phase. • Expecting visible early flowering development within 3–5 days after the 12/12 switch. • The goal is now to maintain environmental stability and airflow as the plants begin vertical growth. • With pests under control and the soil balance returning, the bloom phase starts under good conditions. ⸻ 🌸 Day 12 Summary: Slight pH imbalance (5.7) addressed and under correction, calcium uptake soon to normalize. Thrips nearly eradicated — pest management finally stable. The 12/12 light cycle has begun, marking Flower Day 1 tomorrow. A clean, controlled start into bloom for SuperBuffCherry #26.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS HAS APPEARED AS 'VEGETATION' THE WEBSITE SEEMS TO BE GLITCHING OUT. THIS IS STILL A FLOWERING WEEK! I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THIS I've now harvested the Northern Lights and Afghan Kush, will add the harvests once they've dried and I've had a chance to weigh up and smoke up. The Gushers and CATB still need a fair bit more time so I have added nutrients again and will decide whether to flush Tuesday next week or extend further. The harvest of the AK and NL means I can spread out the branches out further allowing light to penetrate deeper into the plant (giggity). I've put in a SCROG to hold up the colas and round the back I've used some string to hold up the colas that have fallen over. I think I flushed 1 week too early. In hindsight I should have done 1 more week with the EC at 1.2 then last week should have been the week with Dragon Force with an EC of 2 and I should have started the flush this week. That probably would have been perfect but we live and we learn. I'm gonna er on the side of extending the schedule in future. I think I harvested the Northern Lights and Afghan Kush a lil too early as well, definitely could and should have pushed them 1 week further. I'm not gonna make the same mistake with the other 2. So far the harvest has been modest but the 2 much larger plants should easily make up for it.

Not much to say, by the end of this week I will defoliate. She is running fibe without any problem so far
