Week 7 She's still going strong, while Royal Queen Seeds has stated that this strain is ready in 8-9 weeks, I'm wondering whether this pheno will surpass that window. Imagining her not making it to the end of next week is hard, given she's going this strong and her budsites are still in full development. Her smell has increased and her Cookies Auto genes are coming through. Although her sugarleaves still give off that citrusy scent when rubbed, her actual buds and pistils give this faint vanilla-like cookie smell. Whilst I forgot the exact parent strains she has, I was certain it had to be something 'cookie' like - which turned out to be the case. I started occasionally feeding her with PH balanced Potassium + CalMag alone, to aid her flower development and to not overdo the amount of nitrogen that's in her regular feed. Also increased the amount of water, adding an extra liter of tapwater after normal feed - in hindsight perhaps it would have been better to pre-moisture with the extra water before adding nutes. Come to think of it, this might have affected her more than was apparent in week 7.

First attempt at attending the Eternity Grow Cup was a major fail. 2 seeds did not sprout. I planted two new seeds and they came to life. Lost a lot of time. I think my chances to get this run finished within the deadline is almost zero. Now it's a passion project and my training for next years collab between Zamnesia and Plagron.

Been awhile since I posted here just because the activity on this site kind of sucks. There is no real interaction making it worth my while to come here. I love the setup here and ease of use otherwise but the community is kind of lame and lacks community support. This is day 66 flower she's starting to wrap up and will come down in a week or so.

Another week done. Hard to see progress day to day but just looking back at photos it's easy to see her moving along. It's my weekly ritual, photo, measure, smoke then update diary! So... She is still getting 1.5L each time i feed or water every 2 to 3 days. Increased the bloom nutrients further and decreased the grow to minimal. Removed a few leaves blocking sites again. Also a couple poking into the fans. As for lst, i slighty tweaked the 4 middle stems. The rest would snap with any bending below the top 40mm. Temperature spiked to 34 degrees in the tent for a few hours today but luckiky was watered last night. I think that helped her through those tough times. If she was almost dry and then had those temps i think she would be a bit annoyed! I was helping my brother move house and was a sweaty mess! Bet she was too and definitely appreciated my lights out being 1pm til 5pm. If it happens again and im home i will treat her to some ice packs by the intake again. :D All seems good overall. Can't really complain about anything. Last week i mentioned how she didnt smell. She did smell if you rubbed her trichomes and smelt your fingers. But just putting your nose to her was only a plant smell. Now, she has just started to have a smell of weed. I have a water pump and another timer to water her while i am away. All tested and after a bit of playing around i can feed 1.5L in 1 min :D On to another week that i am as excited for as the last. Thanks for checking it out P.S Off to visit our remaining 2 outdoors tomorrow. Will get photos and upload next week. Fingers crossed all is good lol. (I say our, the outdoors grows were/are 50/50 with me and a close friend).

End of week 5, repoted this week, can't wait to see how they grow in these pots! I installed a heater and the temperatures are much better now. Only watering for now, was watering with just a little water before transplanting. The big pots I watered weekly with ~2L water and spraying the top layer every now and then to keep it moist. I gave a little more water today as they moisture probe was telling that it was still dry after 2L. So ended up watering each pot 4.5L of water with the plan of not watering for another 7 days. I think all this much is affecting how much water is flowing down (or my probe is broken :D ) We have an aloe vera plant which I am cutting leaves from and squeezing some gel out into the water. Hopefully they will get over whatever caused these drooping leaves quickly. They seem to be on the mend.

Going to extend 1, possibly 2 more weeks of veg; want to manifold and fill out the table more before flipping to flower. Defoliation, tucking, LST

Started to train the big plant, going to wait at least another 2 weeks to flip them into flower. Watering every three or so days as I was able to bring up the humidity to near 60 and the pots have been staying nice and moist. Hit with neem at beginning of week and will continue running an integrated pest management system with essential oils, neem (w bronners), mindful watering and overall grow tent cleanliness. Current challenges; black fungus gnats (they have degraded since I cut back on watering and introduced sticky traps)

This week I started to realize how much water these lady’s exactly started drinking they are getting so thirsty all the time I’m like non stop giving them water it feels like. They are getting super big Arnie the gal one with two tops is at 17” and helga the shorty with the booty jk. Is 10” but was topped on week 8 I believe so she’s trying to catch up and has been they both where popped from seedling at the same time but are totally different should be the same strain but have different characters about ones smell for sure I love smelling them. 👃

I've pretty much been hands off this grow. Just letting the plants do what they want. I did a spray with insecticidal Soap which shocked some of the auto genetics. Had some leaf loss but they are bouncing back. I saw one tiny fly and wasnt worth the shock some of the susceptible plants had. Lesson learned. I havent done much more than fimmed, topped, and lsted very lightly. Testing out fimming on autos. So far the lst only autos started flowering around day 23 to 25. The fimmed autos have stayed in veg much longer and were way more resilient. They are just starting to flower or show pistil. One of the Double Grape is showing completely different pheno than the other double grape. So much that I thought it might need 12/12 to flower. However it started showing pistils a day ago. Double grape responded very well to Fim and so did the northern lights big bud auto and purple scoops. I had problems with a driver on a brand new fc3000 blowing up, mars hydro sent me a replacement driver. They then wanted to squabble about replacing the plastic piece that connects the driver to the light. Two weeks later they sent the part after I told them I had to buy an HLG cause I couldnt believe they wouldnt send me a plastic part. Then the HLG I was sent was the 65 version not the 100 but they sent me the correct light right away and my plants and the clones loveeeed the HLG 100 v2. So much so that I bought the 65 version they sent by mistake and they gave me $10 bucks off for my troubles. Even though I had to be persistent with Mars Hydro they did do me right and now both my LEDs are working. However I had a 4 by 8 of plants all stacked on one end under 150 watts for weeks trying to get this solved. I had multiple power and light issues with adding the new 4 by 8 tent that costs my plants I'm sure. I decided not to freak about it and let things go with the flow and not stress. Things will not be optimum but I learn each grow about my setup and this is my first grow in soil so learning curves. I'm feeding very small amounts of calmag and seaweed extract in each watering which is every two to three days with ro water. I started this week three when the plants showed shock from the spray. It seemed to help them recover. I'm using light warrior, ocean forest and living soil layered mix. I kept 1 king tut, 3 alien tech clones which are doing good nice and rooted directly in light warrior. Transplanted week three in 3 gal pots. Never cloned before so is a learning process.
