High guys, We are in the mid of week 6 and I am getting worried...... Got deficiency problems which I can't exactly explain, just guess..... Why? Because I changed several things at a time, so now I feel dumb and have to do my best..... So what's up?? Everything went totally smooth, but about a week ago, 2 plants started to show nitrogen deficiency, we'll that was what I thought. So I increased the amount of biogrow, to get rid off that. Curiously, it didn't really seem to change, so I thought I may have watered a bit too much. Then I left them dry a bit, not watering. Problem didn't go away and started to show signs of other deficiencies such as potassium. I was really confused, because I really feed them a good amount. An amount that actually should be enough to not see problem increase this way. So I was guessing.........have I maybe over time not kept soil moist enough in the entire pot so saltproduction caused root burning?? Well, I did wash the soil, deciding to see how they react and be sure to at least keep out this possibility as a reason. I can see different types of symptoms on the plants........ Makes it a bit complicated, calculating feeding 6 times different. Never had such an amount of problems with feeding........ So, what did I "learn"? First it was stupid to change more than one factor at a time. I knew that, but since everything was well didn't expect this outcome. Besides, I never had deficiency with iron, Mangan for example and didn't have proper products at home.... Never do that again. I am not sure, but I think it is as well due to a crazy short life cycle that you have to be very observative with nutrition and be aware you may have to feed insane amount of nutrition. I really thought I was exaggerating feeding this time, but no...........makes me a bit "pissed" about myself 😂 hopefully I can manage it best way possible, finish and keep that in mind for the next grow.

The healthiest plant I've grown so far, no signs of any deficiency or stress, yet the buds are developing slowly. The slow bud development may be strain specific, but I am not sure as it's my first time growing this cultivar. Looks like a 10 week flowering period run.

Day 64 - Starting week 10 and she is getting sticky and stinky. I did a pretty decent defoliation tonight, just to try and get some of the undergrowth going. The way she’s going, she might only have 2-3 weeks left but I have plenty of meds right now so I’m not in any sort of rush. I see ZERO signs of any sort of nute burns so I’m really starting to like the new nutes and so easy to mix. Day 65 - Looking great right right now and went ahead and lowered the lights a bit, they’re now about 12” above the canopy. I had 3 other grows going on but for the second time in a couple months the wife left the tent open this morning and didn’t check before she left the room and one of our cats was in there and they destroyed my 3 little ones but left this and my Sour Raspberry Kush alone so deciding what to start next. She’s good on water until the weekend sometime. Day 66 - Ended up having to give her about a gallon and a half of water tonight, she ended up drinking up what was left I guess. The lights being about 12” away seem to be doing her good and not bothering her at all. Day 68 - Man oh man, she is frosty as hell and smells really sweet. By the looks of trichs and pistils, I’m probably gonna give her two more weeks until she gets chopped. If she needs longer, I’ll give her more time but I think 2 weeks should be plenty. She drank a ton of water so she might need more either Sunday or Monday. Day 69 - She’s definitely ready for some more water but gonna hold off for another day, just to let her dry up a bit more. I’m gonna do another defoliation tomorrow as well and she should be good to go till the end. Day 70 - She was ready for water today and gave her another feeding of nutes. This will be the last one and next watering I’ll flush with the Sledgehammer and she’ll just get water until she’s done. She is so damn frosty and sweet smelling, she’s gonna be a pain in the ass to trim.

She finished up just in time for a round of some real bad weather rolling on twice this week. I had to bring inside one night or else they would have been hammered. I took them out the next morning because they were so stinky and got some a few solid last days of sun before another bad storm. I cut down the morning of and is drying whole in my studio around 65F and 60% humidity. I may press a little rosin with this one but plan on keeping this one mostly for the flower as Its been a whole since no fresh flower. Looking like a pretty decent harvest. May be my best auto flower harvest yet.

They are runing well. More light would be better. Still doubt about defoliation. Thinking to make last heavy one on week 7 and start to flush at the end of it. Girls super healthy, i think i will easy beat 1g/w... Fingers crossed ;) Extra : Made second round of defoliation. All looks great ! Plus some night footage before defoliation If you ask where i found courage to make it again : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m7j3GMgKEM0 Miami Mango conviced me again ;) P.s. my plants where all time healthy, thats why i can try out such tricks. Anyway one plant no clearing, no lolitoping, no defoliation. We shall see the weight results, i have a competitor for her. On third week of flowering they both where the same. Time will tell ... I rotate my plants everyday so they get even light and same feeding. P.s.2 Plant in the midle is Choco Lopez auto, dont count her ;) i did all the same to her as to other photoperiod plants. She is the Beast ;) P.s.3 24 hours after dofoliation they started to smell really hard... Citrus and berries aroma all the way .. No sign of stress and easy to see how healthy they are , still blooming ;) P.s. 4 I always work with plants before watering them and when i harm them - i always water with ph water only. Soil is ritch enough and if damage will happen less feeding will reduse it ...

Welcome to my Kosher Cake Diary. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your diaries. Wk 4 VD23 25/5 Doing really well. Loving life and she a very nice plant to grow. Takes to LST and any light training like a champ. Very nice lady to have in anyone's garden. A beginners delight. Looks like she's coming into preflower gonna be a small harvest. 27/5/22 Made a new batch for feeds for this week. Brought it down to 810. Added Atlas, goddesslada, fire yields to jungle juice trio. Will give another Epson Salt feed this week also. Had to add PH + as it was only 4.3. Brought up to 6.2 keeping EC at 1.6/800ppm. 28/5/22 I know this is the 2nd round of Epsom Salt. But this one marks the start of a new weekly process I'll be adding. I usually do 2 feeds 2 water feeds mix em up over 8 days. So, for one of them water feeds will now be Epsom Salt. Every 2 weeks Calmag will be added with it instead, or just calmag by itself instead of Epsom. I've heard ppl swear by it and then some not. So, I'll make up my own mind. I'm overal happy with how I've done this grow. I've sat back much more and been very hands off. I think I'm going to scale it back down a lil.. too big for my needs. This 1 will be my shorty and we gonna c how dense we can get the buds with high co2 with negative pressure environment. Ye, I know the exhaust will take away from the co2 but the ambient co2 in the room is fairly high. I have 2 co2 exhale bags going and got my friends co2 meter wasn't home but my partner said he dropped by but couldn't leave it as he was passing through and took a measurement for me. 825 in the tent and 8-850 in the sealed grow room. 29/5/22 Yup, I was right days ago. She has more or less started flowering. 1st 1 to leave the veg stage. Thankfully I'm using jungle juice trio, so no need to flush grow nute, I'm going to even the nutrients ratios out and after a week I'll do 1 part grow to 3 parts bloom and fill micro. With a few Terra Power specials. 31/5/22 Coming to the last week in the 4th. She started flowering around D25 was showing signs she was coming into preflower have a video up to show what to look for to know when to flip to bloom nutrients. If I was running on GROW+BLOOM separate nutrients I'd of flushed with water for 2-3 days before you flip to bloom base nutrients but as these nutrients (jungle juice trio), it's just a case of changing the nutrients ratio. For the 1st wk of pre flower it's recommend you use half and half then 1rd grow to 3 parts bloom so that's 1ml grow to 3ml bloom (these are just ratios not the actual mls that will be used). I have started flushing my other grows that are showing signs of coming into pre flower. I'm still giving the grow&bloom base nutrient La Sirena as this is given through grow and bloom so no need to flush that out. Shes short. The way I want her. I had this 1 set at 30-35cm after wk 2 up until flower and I'll move her close to the light at 20cm as I have high co2. I know you need high PPFD to get the most out of it but the benefits are the same, (been able to withstand a higher temp/ higher RH/ higher PPFD) SO, hoping to get a short nice dense buds from top of canopy right down to the middle, everything below that has been stripped so dense buds throughout is the goal here not so much mass but quality and eye appeal. At 20cm the ppfd will be 11-1200. Not perfect I know but it'll give some sort of better bud quality. The rest are grown nice and big. All plants are 45-59cm just before coming into pre flower there's a few more that are still young so height is still yet to be seen. But the aim of the game is nice dense kosher cake bud. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Weird week, Nitrogen toxicity. As of 3 days ago I started on nutes. My soil only has nitrogen in it, so it makes sense. She does look better today but eh. Leaves are dry as heck, humidity is about 50% ish she is feeding good, good runoff and PH. She is a chronie and thats all she is going to be. I'm mostly just seeing what she can do. I can smell weed when I go down in my basement but when I open the tent I have no smell/ or mine sucks cause I smoke too much upstairs lol. I notice a few amber hairs today but they look a bit bigger and fluffy. Not much to update. BIG shout out to @jinks101 for helping me out and answering all my questions!! Have a great week everyone and happy growing! 👽

Not sure what the GD glitch was last week but after I updated in showed I was a week behind. I digress. This week they are still blowing up. I have never personally had an auto stretch like this and I love it! #1 is a total candy stripe stalk and the flowers are bulking early. #2 is a little lankier and continued to stretch another 7” taller to 34” but has thousand of white pistils and looks to be about to stack on some weight now. Over all the colas look to be between 7-12”. #3 is a bushy little sucker and if you remember or this is your forest read the other blackberry x2 never germinated so I threw another stardawg In and it’s about 12 days behind so it should do its thing soon. I have a couple other dark devils I decided to start later than that in the back too. The tent is consuming about 4 -5 gallons per day and I think I’ll run a straight water batch for a day when I clean it on Saturday. Let me know what you think or if you have grown it before. I’m always looking for data like how long their flower period was or what you did that made them better. Thanks for lookin’.

Sooo I added a scrog net a few days ago to get the branches more outward beacuse they were growing way to bushy. Seems to be a good solution! Did a nother update for this week because of the trichome beauty that they have. They both smell really really fruity and somewhat gassy, if you ever grew a Cherry Cola from FastBuds and you loved the smell then this strain is specially for you. The smell reminds me so hard of the Cherry Cola and I fcking love it
