Haven't uploaded week 8 so here's a few words about then. I couldn't do much else since I was waiting for some supplies before transplanting them. Overall, it was interesting to learn more about watering. I was definitely underwatering them and I think that contributed for them looking "sad" on week 7. After increasing the amount of water, they started looking better and growing more too. I also sprayed them with bauv. for IPM. About week 9: Supplies arrived so I mixed some Bokashi in the soil mix, filled some 7L vases (made some extra holes on sides, lesson learned from the first weeks hahaha) and transplanted the plants. After that, I watered them some Shrimp FPE to increase microbial life, phosphorus and chitin content in the soil. 2 days later and two of them are looking really happy ( plant 1 and 3)

Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

July 27: she’s starting to preflower so I’m going with phyto-forcing using a 730 nm light for a few seconds at dusk each night. This puts plant into dark mode two hours faster so it’s like getting two more hours of darkness making it a 26 h day. Good trick, and super easy. July 30: video showing how I make my lazy compost tea. Best plants in four seasons of outdoor growing so it definitely works. A similar commercial product would be Recharge which has molasses, Humic acids and bacteria. Aug 1: plants always look super healthy after a round of compost tea.

Burnt tips a bit this week but going well Stretched like a mofo this week. Temps are getting crazy and humidity was bad enough I invested in a new dehumidifier.. I got trigger happy after seeing the excellent growth and structure of this plant last grow that I chose it as my main strain this grow - growing 4 in DWC .. but I’m not in love with the effects of it at this point so that sucks but nbd.. it’s still a decent smoke

I topped this beautiful girl again and it was 32 tops in total, now I will wait 2-3 weeks for her to overcome these heavy stresses and start active growth, after which I will cover the scrog net and switch the light cycle to 12/12 💚🌋

Cookies and Cream auto is looking good. She had a slight leaf deformity when she got solution on her roots too soon. It was a pinch strong for her. She has already grown into it, and roots are looking good. I was experimenting with putting the rock wool on one side to get the roots to the solution sooner. Everything is looking good at the moment under the medic Grow Mini Sun-2. Thank you Medic Grow, and MSNL seeds.

hello guys this week I applied lollipopping to the two girls who are getting really huge the skunk responded to the pruning in a masterful way while the honey cream tends to keep its tip firm the ak420s are growing a lot while the sc girls. they reported very strong sun stress freak shows grow slow and so far the only plants I get along with are frisian ducks.

Week 7 Flower – Roller Coaster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) The Final Push Begins Here we are, Week 7 of flower, and the Roller Coaster Haze girls are standing tall, magnificent, and absolutely covered in white hairs and swelling calyxes. These monster plants have truly lived up to their name, a wild ride from germination until now, and this week marks an important turning point in their journey. This week they received their last feed with nutrients, watered at pH 6.0 and EC 1.42. From here on out, it’s pure water only. The soil still carries enough reserves to sustain them as they finish ripening, and I want them to cleanly express their genetics all the way to harvest. ⸻ Environment Control – Heat vs Balance Outside, the temperatures are brutal — reaching 45°C (113°F) — but thanks to the combined ecosystem of TrolMaster and Spider Farmer controllers, the room remains stable: • Room Temp: ~28–29°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 Even under pressure, the system holds strong, giving the plants exactly what they need to thrive in these final weeks. ⸻ Lighting Adjustments – Simulating the End of the Season Light is one of the most powerful tools we have, and this week we began shifting the spectrum to signal “end of season” to the plants: • Whites & Blues: slowly being reduced • Reds: increased to 100% • Far-Red & Deep Red: 100% • UV: 100% This spectrum mix encourages ripening, resin stacking, and terpene expression while mimicking the natural transition of sunlight as summer ends. The plants respond by pushing their energy into the flowers rather than continuing vegetative growth. ⸻ Plant Development – Giants in Full Force The girls are absolutely towering now, monster plants with stacked colas and pistils shooting out everywhere. Their root systems are so strong that some roots at the soil surface are even thicker than the stalks themselves. By the end of this week, Pheno #3 was harvested, though I will dive into the full harvest details later. Pheno #2 remains in full bloom, swelling, and shining bright. ⸻ What to Expect vs What Not to Expect Expect: • Continued swelling of buds and trichome development • Pistils slowly beginning to darken and curl in • Leaves showing natural fading as stored nutrients are consumed • Stronger aromas and denser resin production Not to Expect: • Any more vegetative growth or stretching • Heavy feedings, the focus now is ripening, not building ⸻ Final Thoughts This week feels like the beginning of the final push. With nutrients removed and the spectrum shifted, the Roller Coaster Haze is entering her true finishing phase. These plants have been a wild, beautiful ride, and it’s only a matter of time now before the final chapters are written. As always, thank you all for following along, sharing your knowledge, and riding this wave with me. The support means everything, and I can’t wait to share the harvest details soon.

Day 35 flower — grow diary drop 🌿🔥 Girls are looking sick right now. Canopy’s totally sealed and the colas are stacking hard — smell in the box is absolutely cracking when I open the doors. Cooler nights are doing some magic on the colours; Kush Crasher is going deep purple on the underside and some leaves are going almost black — proper kush vibes. Quick lineup reminder (so readers know who’s who): Back left: Wedding Cake (Portland) — frosty, resin on point. Back center: Kush Crasher — purple toning, heavy trichome coverage. Back right: AK-47 — denser, more classic compact buds forming. Front left: Double Krush — airy but stacking nicely, very resinous tops. Front centre: WAPPA — main star atm, big central cola fattening up steady. Front right: Detroit Runtz — sticky, fruity pheno showing good bulk. Wappa is producing a fat main cola with loads of side nodes filling in — this one’s gonna be a heavy, chunky top. Wedding Cake and Double Krush are thickening up and getting frosty fast. AK-47 keeps its compact commercial shape (good for scrog). Detroit Runtz has that crystal-sparkle and is smelling fruity even at 35 days. Kush Crasher’s colour is the eye-candy — those dark tones + the trichome frosting = lovely contrast across the canopy. Notes from the tent: Stretch is done, canopy even and nearly locked in. I spotted some slight N-pull on older leaves (pale lower leaves) — nothing drama, going to tweak feed a touch. Big aroma — open the door and the terp cloud hits. 😍 Humidity still my main worry (garage runs cold + RH spikes at night) — keep an eye on bud-zone airflow and dehumid duty. What I’ll do next few days: one final tidy/clean under the canopy tomorrow, support any heavy tops, lean feeding into bloom (keep top-max / bloom up) and keep that Wappa center nice and happy — don’t want to stress it now. Overall — very pleased. The tent is showing the payoff from the SCROG & LST/HST work: even canopy, lots of tops, and colour + smell coming through strong. Can’t wait to see these fatten in the next 2–3 weeks. Green vibes ✌️💚

Day 1 - I geminated those in the glass of water for 20 hrs. first and then put in the box with paper towel. Day 3 I take them to the rockwool cube to seedling Day 6 - OG Kush look unhealthy. Growers told me to let her grow and the *rockwool too wet*. Gorilla Cookie and Gelato looking good Day 8 - OG Kush still look weird but she grow up Gorilla Cookie and Gelato are fine What I have learned : 1. The strains are different 2. Don't soak rockwool too wet 3. Choose good quality of rockwool

Welcome to the Week 10 update for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s. Not much to report as this grow is on cruise control until harvest. I will be finishing up with the bloom fertilizer and starting to flush as these lovely ladies finish out Week 10 and move into Week 11. Defoliating as necessary and consistently checking trichomes as I’ve already spotted the first few ambers in and among the already cloudy trichs! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow! 😎

Die Lemon Skunk befindet sich in der letzten Phase ihres Zyklus – Spülwoche und Erntevorbereitung. Die Blüten sind voll ausgereift, kompakt und stark mit Harz überzogen. Der Duft ist intensiv zitrusartig mit einer erdigen Basisnote – typisch Lemon Skunk. Die Trichomentwicklung ist jetzt im perfekten Erntefenster: rund 20 % bernsteinfarben, der Rest überwiegend milchig. Damit ist das gewünschte Gleichgewicht aus Potenz, Geschmack und Wirkung erreicht. In dieser Woche wurde das Spülen gestartet, um verbleibende Nährstoffreste auszuleiten. Das Semi-Hydro-System läuft weiterhin sauber, die Pumpe bleibt aktiv, sorgt aber nur noch für zirkulierendes, klares Wasser mit angepasstem pH-Wert. Die Pflanzen beginnen sichtbar, die letzten Reserven aus den Blättern zu ziehen – das Laub hellt sich auf und zeigt das typische Ende des Zyklus. Die Buds sind dicht, harzig und schwer, die Haupttriebe tragen ordentlich Gewicht. Alle Blüten sind gleichmäßig gereift, und das Terpenprofil entfaltet sich stark – süß, sauer, würzig. Zum Ende der Woche steht die Ernte an. Nach einer kurzen Dunkelphase werden die Pflanzen geerntet und langsam getrocknet, um Aroma und Wirkung zu maximieren. Fazit: Ein rundum erfolgreicher Run – das unfreiwillige Semi-Hydro-System hat sich als effiziente Lösung erwiesen. Gleichmäßiges Wachstum, starke Blütenstruktur und ein beeindruckendes Finish. Die Lemon Skunk zeigt ihr volles Potenzial: kompakt, harzig, aromatisch – ein würdiger Abschluss!
