Unfortunately I lost some of my timelapse footage and the harvest shots of the plants hanging, so I only have the week 10 pictures left.๐Ÿ“ธ Still, this run with Ztrawberriez Auto was smooth and very enjoyable.๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š All three plants finished in about 11 weeks from seed to harvest. The aroma and taste came out pretty much the same across the whole run, sweet, fruity with that little pink pepper twist, a really unique profile.๐Ÿ“ #1 was the biggest and most compact of the three, with very dense, stacked flowers.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”ฅ #2 and #3 produced slightly fluffier buds, but still frosty, aromatic and with great bag appeal.๐ŸŒธ I gave them all 48 hours of darkness before chop, then trimmed and hung them up. After 9 full days of drying they were ready for trimming and went into jars for curing. The final result: beautiful, resinous flowers, consistent in flavor, with some variation in bud structure but overall great quality ๐Ÿ˜. Even without the missing footage, this run left me more than happy ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒฟ

#3 has beautiful pink buds very happy with these girls, hopefully the other two show some colour as the Temperature comes down. Have swapped the 250 red CFL for a 150 blue. May turn it off for the last week to get every last bit of pink possible! Pots have a nice wet dry cycle, have tried to hold back and not over water so I've been watering with a spray bottle. I use a 1L hand spray bottle and fill it up three to four times depending on the weather. Although it seems impossible to overeater with the breathable fabric pots. Which are awesome if I haven't said already. Perfectly fit 11 in my small cupboard which is lucky as I ordered ten as soon as he free one arrived without measuring them! Stoners eyes never lie! ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Buds should be huge if they keep going at this speed! Haven't topped them for the natural look, been a few years since I've done it can't wait to see a big fat cola bud at the end!

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š. Another great week is over and the women are developing beautifully . The Phenotype 1 is particularly beautiful ๐Ÿ˜. I have never seen a plant turn purple / reddish at such an early stage . Absolutely beautiful . You can see very nicely how the buds start to develop ๐Ÿ™‚. Otherwise, there is nothing exciting to report this week. I wish you all a lot of fun with the new update, stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป and let it grow ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฑโ˜˜๏ธ๐Ÿ€ You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Genetics: Red Poison Autoยฎ๏ธ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) ๐Ÿ‘ Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W ๐Ÿ’ก Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’กโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Soil : Canna Coco Professional + โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฑ Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

The week starts Monday, Jan-13 in flowering stage. The plant is growing fast, stretching long and I'm constantly tying down branches to maintain an even canopy. There's also a stronger scent of lemon already in the tent. Carried out substantial defoliation of almost all the big fan leaves and a few little stems that were not likely to make it above the canopy. Avoided defoliating the major cola branches. This encourages the plant not to waste resources on a node which is only going to produce โ€œpopcornโ€ buds. The plants reacted well to the defoliation and were looking good by the end of the light cycle for the day. The net is completely full and this will be the last week of applying any LST as part of the ScrOG setup. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 3L per day. Lowered the average RH in the space to 50%. ----prior 4 weeks updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-06 in flowering stage. The net is filling up nicely with the ScrOG process being enjoyable - just tucking branches nicely under squares once stretched enough. Lost a branch end with 3 nodes accidentally whilst tucking away so now I'm super careful. The Sativa dominant strain is stretching nicely and bends easily. Minor defoliation of lower branches and fan leaves continues daily. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Dec-30 in vegetative stage - switching the light regime to flowering. Initiated flowering with an extended dark period prior to switching light regime - this practice is supposed to promote a faster initiation of flowering by the plant. Maintain lights off from Dec-31, 10:00 until Jan 1 - 18:45 allowing a 32hr darkness period prior to switching the light regime. Light regime is set for 12.5/11.5 on/off allowing me a better maintenance window for my living situation. Both plants are growing fast and strong, showing their genetic traits. Some shoots are going through the net already. Have started to tuck branches as they grow to fill up any gaps. Did minor defoliation on both plants near their stem base and centres. Some green algae on roots/coco medium on the surface of the pot. Have defoliated some more which hopefully helps with air circulation at the area. Will monitor over the week - may need to decrease watering frequency, although they seem to be keeping up drinking. Lowered the High Humidity setting of the extraction fan to 60% - which effectively keeps it running at least 75% of the time, and removed the humidifier. Will monitor and adjust as necessary lowering the setting to 50% in a few weeks whilst flowering. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Dec-23 in vegetative stage. Installed the ScrOG net - Set at 20cm from the base of the plants, being 55cm from ground. The plant is showing great growth, lots of branching and new growth sprouts. A few branches are beginning to come through the net and almost all main branches are now tied down horizontally after the two recent toppings. Applied more LST and will wait for the branches to reach the net and start tucking. The AC Infinity fan is currently only running intermittently with its current settings. This seems to impact the utilisation and effectiveness of the carbon filter in use. The desired outcome is for the fan to be running for longer periods whilst in Auto config. Lowered the High Level Humidity from 70% to 60%, and more importantly, lowered the Max Speed from 4 to 2 with the intent that a lower fan speed will result in longer periods where the extraction fan is operated to remain below threshold targets for the grow space. Plant growth continues to be strong at the end of the week. Big fan leaves near the top are beginning to look a little serrated and dark, similar to the start of this grow. This may be due to the extra CalMag being added which was the issue at the start of the grow. Will keep monitoring and half the CalMag dosage on next feed. Importantly, I have learnt nutrient mixing of the CalMag should be done prior to the Canna Coco A & B. To date I have done the opposite which may explain my earlier issues. Fertigating daily at the start of the light cycle. One more week of vegetative growth before switching to flowering although I may need to switch earlier due to the vigorous growth and considering the stretch yet to come. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ................................. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - Thermo/Hygro meter

A friend had a chance to take some photos for me, also continued with some defoliation as well. Nutrients are doing well, hopefully buds really take off this week.

Week 3 G14 everything is great I've increased the biobizz to 2ml still adding nitrozyme once a week and a little cal mag I've tied the top in a pony tail for 24/48hrs so branches underneath stretch I used a covid mask string very handy 17th added a net but the holes are a little small and it increases humidity so I've removed it.if your running a mars or any Chinese lights as you know they run hot and increase humidity check out video for a simple hack.

Back from a short trip and theyโ€™re looking great! Looking ahead to my schedule, it became apparent I was going to need to harvest sooner rather than later if I wanted to be at my house for the first week or drying. Trichs were about 50% milky and maybe 5% amber on average. I decided Iโ€™d be staging th harvest over a few days. I was going to try washing them prior to drying to make sure the pm is neutralized and because two of the outdoor ones are probably covered in city soot ๐Ÿ™ƒ.

What up grow fam. Week 3 up on these girls. At the moment they're a little upset with me. I went away for a few days so I over watered hoping they'd be alive when I return. They're still alive but sure upset and showing it. I did a defoliation taking the bigger fan leafs off to allow some more light to the lower branches. Also I don't usually put them under full power of my light until about week 5 but I did to see how they'd do and though they're stacking super tight, I think I probably did more harm then good. I'll baby them and see if they'll bounce back. All in all Happy Growing

Ok Niggas this can be the first month of the plants since germination - and the start of the fourth vegging week, plants overall growth is savage, even for the plants that still presents Ca Mg carencies , as they tend to have a pale green colour compared to their siblings. The lack of green makes that one plant highlight a purple hue prominent on the leaves & stem, it can be confused with cold through . But i'm discarding that reason as .cl winter is finishing and temperatures are above 0ยฐc. Did a Barrier spray on the mix, just with CaMg on soil to attend the previous urge, as this substrate is very light, yet i can still fuck it up and misdiagnose a nutrient block if i go too heavy. Plus that i found a munched leaf and that barrier has a moderate nutrient amount besides try to half the pest advances. I want to finish this week to count 30 officially days and probably do a topping cut , and try to get on the level of the net on day 45 / finishing on 6 week in order to fill the space, as if this strain is stable it stretch and node space should be on the short side, but nod that some og kush relatives can be stretchy because there'sslight sativas phenotypes as well. Finishing this text wall homies, as plants has the same age, i can notice that this substrate is fast to colonize as the one that stay on 'pot on pot' are way smaller that the ones that are on its final containers. I will consider lollypop too, as i want to try to check before signals that vertical growth light reinforcement with the fan shaped bulbs is viable on all growty , as if i saw that they underdevelop just on veg stage should be a big no & discard that stupid idea. But at the moment is going fine. Just having a nice cri to inspectionate the plants is a good advantage to be assimilated on frankenstein's indoor setup. ๐Ÿฆ„ Big gas Leakz !!! & Big dick Energy!!!

๐Ÿ˜ caked with trichs but still need to plump up a little. All good theres some time left! She looks really healthy, tiny bit of nute burn i noticed this week so dialed down the nutes just a bit and kept around 1100ish. Got co2 going and started addign the P booster, still foilair feeding for the last couple times before I stop. I'm giving the ladies the full spas treatment in there Lol

These girls are still perfect. You want a picture perfect set of plants and it's these they are all damn identical i am still blown away by how close they are from growing from seed! The only real diffrnce is 1 has slightly wider smaller leafs so more leaned indica hybrid but all the spacing between the 4 are about the same. They have been receiving about 500ml of food/ water about every 3 days with the ph at 5.6-5.7. Will top these girls soon to get a couple heads started just didn't want to end the symmetry. Still no smell or sign of preflower yet, with a stem rub they feel sticky to touch and only smell green so just tells me they healthy. Soon a smell will come along! Peace be with you!

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times ๐Ÿ˜… Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way ๐Ÿ™ My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.๐Ÿ˜†. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ Happy Growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š
