Week 4 started pretty great, the plants were finally exploding in ways I did not see coming. They also grew up nicely into the high lights that used to be at ~65cm, so PPFD adjustment was not necessary for the big girls as they grew into the range by themselves, ACJ (9 days younger) had her "cloud" to slightly shield her from the sun. Nutrients: Work on the plants was fairly limited. I did notice some early burn on Orange (not surprising), accompanied by a lot of deep green, slightly wrinkled leave borders. So this was my nitrogen curve shooting up way too early, expecting vigorous branching and foliage creation for 10 week Hybrid averages, when this strain can take it easy for up to 13 weeks. I wonder whether the N-toxicity caused the burned tips for Orange as well, but I am convincing myself this can't be the only factor. Guess what we can learn from this? I'll tell ya: Cinderella Jack with 9 days younger is receiving that same ramp 9 days -ahead- and is showing absolutely no signs of excess N or burn. When I read: "N-tox" and "nutrient burn", I should read: "Sativa / Landrace" and "likes lighter feed" amongst other things. Train decisions: Once again, I did try to employ leaf tucking in order to expose shoots and perhaps prevent super-cropping entirely. But I just cannot find a way to do it as long as everything is stretching out nicely. The internodal stretching on well fed and tended for Autos on Haze / Sativa genes with protocols supporting stretch, leaves me with leaves that are way too high up to tuck down without breaking them. The shadowing fan-leaves are always 2 nodes up and provide just some shade for those young nodes to stretch. Those nodes seem to have two modes to me: stretch out high and shoot up -in between- their shadowing fan leave petioles and stem (those will be big); or bend outwards and kinda stop stretching, as they are "thankful" as low priority shoots. Nothing else to add, trucking on, the scrog-net is looming over their heads. I am loving their heights but I have a confession to make: First day week 5? Those beautiful plants will receive their single HST "training" session and will be VERY upset for a day or two (during which I will also lollipop cleanly).

I use Jacks aqua gold at 2.5 grams per gallon Epson salt 5g per gallon and jacks 15-0-0 2.5g per gallon. I ran out of advanced nutrients 3 part and will not be purchasing more. I will harvest everything on the 12th. Might pick off some of them before depending. I am not flushing but reducing ec. Currently feeding 1.2 ec

We are halfway through flowering and everything looks great, just 4-6 more weeks and we cut El olor es bueno y la densidad de los cogollos igualmente

✂️ Defoliation time and LST adjustment. 🥦We stay training. ✌️🎃Thank you for checking my cultivation.

Purple Punch am 26.12.2024 Tag 28 / 25.01.2025 Die Purple Punch habe ich ein Topping und LST unterzogen, sie hat sich sehr schnell erholt von Topping; eigentlich habe ich keine negative Reaktion bemerkt, das einzige ist wenn ich mit Biobizz dünge, macht die Pflanze einen gewaltigen Wachstumsschub. Feedback: Ich habe unterhalb zwei Blätter entfernt, mit dem Entlaubung bin ich sehr vorsichtig. Die Pflanze werde ich gut wachsen lassen, und die große Blätter nach und nach entfernen. Ich könnte mehr Blätter entfernt, aber in der Vergangenheit habe ich Fehler gemacht. Ich habe festgestellt das die Pflanzen in Light Mix besser wachsen, einmal Gisse ich die Pflanzen mit Dünger von BioBizz und einmal ohne Dünger. Soweit ich das sehe ist eine Überdüngung ausgeschlossen, gerne nehme ich Ratschläge aus der Community an. Feedback am 29. Januar 2025 Die Entlaubung von Purple Punch war für meiner Sicht erfolgreich, die Vorgehensweise nach und nach die Entlaubung durchzuführen hat die Pflanze nicht gestresst.

It’s been awhile since my last update but all was missed was 3-4 weeks of veg. She is on day 7 of flower as of this moment. There’s 2 Royal Gorilla’s with each having 6 main stems and one being LST. LST is the shortest one and hoping she will stretch a lot more to catch up to the one not being LST. Also have 2 White Widows at the same age as RG doing the same comparison but with 8 main stems. Got 1 White Widow that’s 14 days ahead with 8 main stems and she’s coming along really good. Will be updating every week since there in flower now. Take care....

Week starting off a bit rough. Massive temperature spike up to 29 degrees c and 30% humidity for a few hours shocked her. Some yellowing on the tips of new growth. Starting off this week with lower A + B (1ml/l, 1/3 strength) and adding in some potash plus to prestart her for flower. Midweek: Flushed with about 10L of Ph'd water because I was seeing a significant rise in TDS/EC. Started feeding today with 1/4 strength Grow A+B and 1/4 Bloom A+B. End of week: Very consistent growth. Amazed. Going to be a monster auto 😁 May have broken a branch while LST. Just put it back where I found it and tied it up. Hopefully the I didnt see it, it didnt happen method pulls through. Started feeding with Bloom nutrient schedule at 1/3 strength and upped the dose of calmag to 1ml/L Next week will see a steady increase in nutrient strength and additional bloom additives from cycos advanced line and her first hair cut.

Alle 3 Samen sind nach 4 Tagen durch die Erde gekommen! Jetzt liegt es an mir, was daraus zu machen!

It began flowering but it looks like this process is going to be slow, i am hoping to harvest at the end of july. I have made so many mistakes that im as bit worried.

- As you will see in the time laps , I had to make some repairs to the strip lighting in the space bucket this week. I'm really glad this happened now and not in the flowering stage and i think everything is as ready as it could be for the switch. - She continued to grow a lot this week, shes also getting a lot more thirsty. - Fed her 2 litres of nutrients twice and in between gave her some plain rainwater to combat the nute burn. - I decided that 18 tops was getting to cramped in the space bucket so I took 3 cuttings for clones. So then there were 15. - At the end of the week I gave her a good flush with plain water in preparation for switching to flower nutrients tomorrow. - Super excited to switch to flower! Cant wait to see what she can produce.

This beautiful girl easily coped with stress, now she has become a giant, she feels very well 🌋😍💚

What a beautiful plant she was! Amazing results with minimal effort!

What a world of difference a week can make when growing auto-flowers. I did a lot of maintenance on these girls the last couple of days. See pics and videos. Two of the plants have stretched out nicely. The other three are falling behind, but looking very nice. There is a strong citrus smell happening right now. Smells like I have a tent full of fresh lemons. Started using Big Bud and Bud Candy this past week. Tent 2as getting quite crowded, so I also moved the water reservoir on the outside of the tent. It was very hard to cut a lot of those beautiful buds off the plants, but I think it will pay off. I also got the new Vivosun Grow Cams, so far I like them, but I do have some feed back.

6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress. Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE. 6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so. UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY. 6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow. 6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload 6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year. 6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick. 6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow. 6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.

Last week flush week Overall very pleased with the result did not have a bump in the road at all and she was very easy to grow and very forgiving when it came to her training The cup grow was a succes she stands only 13,5cm tall and from 1 tip of the mainbud to the other she is 30.6cm long and 21cm wide and packed with nugs and the smells fills up the entire growbox with a sweet bubblegumish smells like the pink bubbalicious chewing gum so nice so i only can imagon what complexity her taste is going to be like❤️❤️❤️❤️ So this week is going to be hell for her i’m going to split her completly tru to about 1.5 cm above the soil put toothpicks between her and bind her back together so the split stay open(about 1.5-2mm) so the flow is even more disrupted this tricks the girl into even more overproducing thc and flavours and she has to fight even harder in her last day’s for her survival and eventually begs for mercy🖤🖤😈😈🖤🖤 She is finishing up nicely her little nugs are packed with cristals

- Hydroponic setup using Active Aqua 5 gal bucket with 2 added air pumps for root health - On 4/30, seedling is transferred to bucket of hydroton - Filled bucket with 4-4.5 gallons of tap water with a pH of 5.8 only receiving hydroguard

The ladies got 2 more days then they’re getting the chop ✂️ Harvest time is coming~ So excited!! 😋
