Its been a busy week in Fat Zappa's Garden, hence another late update. I am no longer concerned about the gold patches on the plants, there has been a little more since the past update, particularly around the edges of some of the leaves but not much at all and it certainly doesn't appear to be anything serious so my fears have eased much in that regard. The three older ladies in this grow are coming to the end of day 32 as I type this update, and have grown into fairly big plants over the past week or so. Despite having low stress training applied every two or three days they now stand around a foot tall. Not quite as tall as their Fastbuds label mate, the Wedding Cheesecake I am growing in Canna Coco and the same dry amendments, which stands an inch taller than these three sisters, but then she is nine days younger. These three girls are certainly more fuller plants though, and the past few days have seen the white hairs begin to appear, particularly on the bud sites, which have also began to turn light green, and the stem on one of these girls begin to turn more 'vine like' in texture. Remaining on a schedule of about 2.5 litres of dechlorinated, aerated water of PH 6.4, day 28 also saw the garden revitalised by their usual tipple being replaced for an aerated compost tea of 2 cups of Worm Castings, 2 tablespoons of Alfalfa Meal, 2 tablespoons of Kelp Meal, and 1 tablespoon of Bat Guano in a cheese cloth bag, and placed in a UK 5 Gallon bucket with 2 tablespoons of Molasses mixed into the dechlorinated water I had aerated for 24 hours, and then brewed it for about 26 hours. It may just have been a well timed coincidence, but I do feel like the plants have shown a spurt of growth since receiving it, particularly the runt of these Mrs Banners, who received her first session of low stress training on day 30. Prior to this spurt of growth I was not going to perform any LST on her cos she just seemed way to small but has really filled out in the past week, although remains a very short specimen compared to her sisters, and the Wedding Cheesecakes who are 2 days younger than her. I am starting to think something may have gone awry when I mixed my soil up, as the two pots which I struggled to germinate the initial seeds in, one which failed completely, have not seemed to thrive as much as the other four plants. When I mixed the initial mix into the 5 Gallon pots I did it in two batches, yet filled the all the pots a scoop at a time along a row so it does seem strange. I think next time I will mixed the medium with the dry amendments and castings a pot at a time to gain more control and see if things improve. Also, in preparation for feeding the compost tea I did have a trim around the bottom of the larger plants as watering has become more difficult with all my wires and tucked leaves etc, which I immediately regretted, but actually, like I say, the plants seemed to have had a boost over the past few days so I am happy no harm has been done. The lights are now running at the full 450w and set to around 25 inches from the top of the canopy. I have also increased the airflow through the intake fan, the canopy fans are both on high, my two 40 watt fans are now running on medium, and my AC Infinity T6 turned up to three on the OFF setting. My heater and humidifier remain on full on the environment has remained stable despite the ramping up of the light to full blast. Lastly, day 32 began with a top dressing for all these plants, with the larger ladies showing signs of pre-flower. They got heaped portions of 1/2 cup of Worm Castings, 1/3 cup Dr Forest Organics 284 Bloom, and a table spoon of Dr Forest Organics Veg dry amendments which I mixed in as best I could with all my LST wires etc, and then watered at PH level 6.4. I'd like to mix the PH up a little more between 6.2 and 6.8 but it always seems to come out 6.4. I will endeavour to update the pages for the two Wedding Cheesecakes as soon as time allows. Thanks for following my grow, and I hope yours are going well too

Today 23/07/22 We are two days into week 5, never talked about nutrient or water’ problems I had some leaves with few yellow marks but very small one beside that I always saw my plants green and happy, here you can see the scrog I set up yesterday not sure if this will work better but I think will help the branches grow further from the others increasing the light they riceve! I made it myself I will order one for the next grown when I will get my grow box! The watermelon is already flowering but the northern light no so today I started feeding the plants with different preparations.. I kept on giving the grow booster with a bit of bloom booster and viceversa for the watermelon! If you have any tips anything you think I’m doing wrong or you see it’s not ok let me know I don’t grow in a box I grow between the curtains and my window so the environment wasn’t always the perfect one

🔥🔥🔥🔥 en attente de l'explosion florale. Leq branche commence a ce givré d'une couverture de trichome fantastique.

6/10/2024 the fades coming in nicely. I probably could have pushed her with nutes for a couple weeks and possibly gotten her to thicken up a bit. But she is pretty thick as is. She's going through water quick and I keep forgetting and so she's finishing a bit quicker I think. I may chop soon but this plant is probably a 90 day strain. I feel like most autos can fall into that range 6/15/24 she was cut. I will add a harvest week soon.

Transplanted this week, 2 weeks from sprouts. Soaked cubes 30 min in 5.5ph water with some nutrients ~550ppm Added floraflex caps right away to avoid algae build up on cubes

I have began flush...so far only twice. Her leaves are changing to beautiful colors. I plan to flush until most or all of her leaves change over. Happy growing!

Still doing foliar: Cal-Mag Terra Aquatica, Pro Bloom, and silicate from T.A. some plants are removed because of root root. naw left with 19/24 plants. I also use a mobile app to set the light intensity, and I burned the leaves later. Which gave me the knowledge that the application is not very accurate.

End of week one, replaced one of the poundcakes because one of the seeds didnt pop. nothing to report, smooth sailing so far will feed next week.

Everything is going well, i'll change water tomorrow,, i topped them a few days ago, except one, she's a bit late, so i'll add her in the tank when she'll get better root. Peace and see ya next week PS : i'll try House & Garden nutes, do you ever experience it ? Edit 26/01/2019 : - roots pictures added. 5 first pictures are from the left tank and the other are from the tank on the right ( they are a bit late compare to the other tank but it's younger cutting ) Edit 27/01/2019 : - Bondage session

Essa semana choveu e vestiu muito mas deu tudo certo, fiz o LST nas duas para ter mais botões

Day 70: I installed a Vivosun GrowCam C4. Day 71: Check the new view into the tent. Nothing to do. Day 72: I cleaned the tank and refilled it with the nutrients mentioned above. Day 73: Nothing to do. Day 74: I bent the top branches a bit to the side to get the light a bit closer to reach the lower buds even better. I suspect her to be finished in 2 to 3 weeks. Day 75: At the start of her day, I noticed that the AquaValve was blocked. I had to clean the whole area. Now everything is working again. I also cleaned the tank and refilled it again. Day 75: Nothing to do. -------------------------------------------------------------- You also like to get some seeds from Fast Buds? You like a 15% discount?

To start the week I spread the ladies out taking advantage of the full room and added another light to hit the far side of room. Now room has viparspectra 600w and kind xl 1000. Room is 6'x4'. End of week 8 and they just keep stretching! 12" in 7 days buds are starting to form and lots of bud sites!

Following the plan, we've reached the end of week 12. Apparently, everything is fine with this girl and all the others, nothing to worry about. This girl in particular already has a very pleasant smell, excellent bud structure, and beautiful color. Looking forward to the next few weeks! ✌️🌱🌿🍁 Happy growing, everyone!

Since she's the one closest to the outside wall I decided to place some weight on it so it wouldn't grow that much taller and started to grow the lower branches

Welcome back to week 9 This week will be mostly playing the waiting game and some post stretch defoliation on the Photos As all plants are done stretching, the feeding of PK was increased to support the bulking phase. The auto tent is getting more frosty every day with temps between 25-20 degrees Not much to do there, just ensuring reservoir is filled and airflow is good The photos are also done stretching….mostly….i hope 😬 The BBM now reached same height than the others and some side branches also If they stay like that for the next days I will do a final clean up defoliation on all 3 to get a bit more airflow and light penetration through all plants Feeding will reach its peak this and next week with 2.0-2.1 EC and 5.9PH and decreased slowly after that As an addition to my “why are photos stretching so crazy this time?” Question, I think I found the answer…. I started the PK a bit too early, as phosphorus in stretch makes plants grow more in between the branches… which is exactly what happened to all 3… they some times have 5-10cm spacing between the branches… Lesson learned: don’t start pk before stretch is REALLY done! 😅👍 Update: the BBM and BKH are both still growing 😬 while I first thought the CW would be the big stretcher…it now shows I was completely wrong… The CW is now the smallest in height and due to my LST the most dense I have all a heavy defoliation (not completely lollipoped but still a lot foliage removed) When I shut down the UCL it was complete darkness at the tray 😱 never had anything that dense and bushy I just hope I can keep the RH under control in late flower… And as a remark: I need new vents…both top fans get issues with the oscillation Those need to be replaced before late flower starts!

Week 9: Trichomes - The Jewel of Panty Punch Auto's Journey As we stand on the precipice of harvest, Week 9 of our cultivation journey with Panty Punch Auto beckons us to explore the mesmerizing world of trichomes - the tiny, glistening crystals that adorn her resinous buds. In this report, we embark on a deep dive into the nature of trichomes, their evolution, and their significance as Panty Punch Auto approaches the pinnacle of her growth cycle. Trichomes, often referred to as the jewel of the cannabis plant, are specialized epidermal cells that serve a multitude of functions. These microscopic structures produce and store a plethora of compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, all of which contribute to the plant's unique aroma, flavor, and effects. Throughout Panty Punch Auto's growth journey, we've watched in awe as her trichomes have evolved from mere specks to glittering clusters of resinous goodness. Their development follows a fascinating progression, beginning with clear, transparent trichomes that gradually transition to cloudy and finally amber hues as maturity approaches. This evolution signals the optimal time for harvest, as each stage offers distinct effects and flavors. In jest, we marvel at the sheer numbers of trichomes that adorn Panty Punch Auto's buds, jokingly attributing their abundance to the exceptional genetics provided by SeedStockers feed on Aptus Holland. Time and time again, Aptus Holland has proven their prowess in feeding top-tier nutrients to all my cannabis genetics, and Panty Punch Auto stands as a shining testament to their expertise. As we reflect on the journey from seed to harvest, it's impossible not to be awestruck by the sheer magnitude of Panty Punch Auto's growth. From her humble beginnings as a tiny seedling to the towering beauty she is today, every stage of her growth has been a testament to the power of genetics and nurturing care. She stands as a true giant in our grow space, a living testament to the wonders of nature and the art of cultivation. Throughout this journey, the Tent-X controller has been an invaluable ally, providing precise environmental control and ensuring optimal conditions for Panty Punch Auto's development. From maintaining temperature and humidity levels to record all data, the Tent-X has played a pivotal role in her success, allowing us to create the perfect environment for trichome production and resin development. As we prepare to bid farewell to Week 9 and embark on the final stage of Panty Punch Auto's journey, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who have supported us along the way. A sincere thank you to Aptus Holland for their exceptional Nutrients, SeedStockers for the amazing genetics to TrolMaster for their innovative technology, to Grow Diaries for fostering a vibrant community of growers, and to all fellow cultivators for their unwavering encouragement and inspiration. As we eagerly anticipate the moment of harvest, let us savor the beauty of Panty Punch Auto's trichome-laden buds and celebrate the culmination of months of dedication and hard work. Stay tuned for next week's harvest report, where we'll reap the rewards of our labor and toast to the success of another remarkable cultivation journey. Until then, happy growing, and may your harvests be bountiful and your buds be resinous! #PantyPunchAutoAdventure #RootsAndFruits #TrolMasterControl #GrowDiariesCommunity #CultivationExcellence Genetics - Panty Punch Auto - https://seedstockers.com/ Plant nutrition - Aptus Holland - https://aptus-holland.com LED Photons - Lumatek - https://lumatek-lighting.com Controls - Trol Master - https://www.trolmaster.eu/ Watering - myself Love and attention - Me, myself and i As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life, With true love comes happiness.
