After 84 days from sprout and 55 days of flowering, Budshot Betty reached her perfect harvest window. During the last week the trichomes shifted from mostly milky to around 10–15% amber, exactly the ripeness I was aiming for with this phenotype. The purple fade intensified, the buds swelled even further, and the terp profile became noticeably stronger and sweeter. To ensure the cleanest possible smoke, she received only pH-adjusted water in the final days: • 3 L (pH 6.32 / EC 280) • 2.3 L (pH 6.35 / EC 123) • 2 L (pH 6.37 / EC 115 – final watering) For the last 3 days I reduced the light intensity to 65 W, helping her finish without stress or foxtailing. Before chopping, she spent 19 hours in complete darkness, which helped tighten the resins and deepen the terpene expression. On harvest day she carried dense, resin-heavy flowers with a sticky crystal layer and a beautiful mix of green and purple tones. Structure stayed open enough for excellent airflow thanks to the SCROG, and her classic AK-47 punch is definitely present in both smell and trichome density. Budshot Betty is now drying in DryFerm bags, and the aroma already suggests a strong, spicy-sweet profile typical for AK-47 XL lines. Overall: A very satisfying run with a resilient plant that handled training, SCROG and minor salt issues extremely well and finished right on schedule. Drying phase now in progress – curing comes next!

Sorry for the late post - pics from weekend, just now getting them up. Added a second net to hold the weight - did some moderate Defoliation for light and airflow - lower buds are responding well now. Seems like she was very thirsty just a few weeks ago but has slowed down. Responds after feedings well still. I think I'm a still good 3-4 weeks out from harvesting, which seems odd since my first grow with this strain only took 8 weeks in flowering, but I'll roll with it.

Не знаю как вы, а я очень люблю этот день - день сбора урожая. И это даже несмотря на то, что в этот день приходится маникюрить срезанные кусты(я предпочитаю делать это до сушки). В этот раз триммить было особенно сложно, много мелких сативных листочков росло прямо из шишек. А что там шишки? Да супер, твердые как камень, всё как я хотел🌿! В день харвеста(вовремя, спасибо Джа!) не выдержала моя техника - отключилась половина лампы(на 1видео 19с.), видимо действительно пришло время. 🗓️Друзья мои, всех приглашаю в мой дневник через 10 дней сушки, буду взвешивать и пробовать урожай, подводить итоги👆 Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

I started feeding liquid nutrients this week. Although I’m using Nature’s Living Soil Super Soil Autoflower Concentrate mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forest—so technically I could water only until harvest—I decided to begin liquid feeding in Week 3 at half the recommended dose. I also have a Tray2Grow Autopot system for automatic bottom feeding, but I haven’t activated it yet. When using liquid nutrients via top feeding, I’d need to turn the Autopot system off and wait until the plants absorb all the water in the tray before feeding from the top. Afterward, I’d have to manually turn the system back on. That seems like a hassle compared to just hand-watering and feeding. I could technically add the liquid nutrients to the Autopot reservoir, but that somewhat defeats the purpose of the system. The tank holds 25 gallons—enough to last a few weeks—but if I want to change or rotate nutrients weekly, I’d have to dump the remaining water and remix the solution each time. If I wanted to feed nutrients every other watering, I’d be changing out the tank every 3 days. Plus, liquid nutrients can cause buildup, so I’d need to clean the reservoir and all the tubing regularly. For now, I’ll stick with hand-watering and top feeding. I’ll only switch to the Autopot system if I need to leave town.

This strain is getting fatter every day and the trichomes multiply and become more amber.

27/02/19 - This one is great, I popped the seed 24hrs after the gelato and this one seems to be developing its leaves a lot faster than the rest, so far really happy with DNA and with mills nutrients, it’s a lot easier to mix and I no longer have to use ph down because once all mixed it’s at a 5.8/5.9. 👌🏻 02/03/19 - Just transplanted all into their final pot, just in time I think as it looked like the roots were starting to circle at the bottoms of the pot, sprinkled half a tea spoon of Mykos on each hole prior to the transplant & fed them 2.5 litres each. I was going to saturate the whole pot but I’ll do that next feeding.

Tough week put in and took out a new 85w led grow light. It was too hot in the tent and the lights burned a couple spots. Looking for ward to more flowers. She’s starting to smell like fuel and skunk. More bloom nutes this week. Going to buy a couple additives to boost it. Thinking about my next grow. And how to expand.

Ja so wie es schon vorher fast zu vermuten war, ist ein 60x60 einfach zu klein 😅 die Mandarin Panties ging zwischen den beiden Z-ups unter und ich musste sie aus dem Zelt nehmen. Die Entscheidung fiel aufgrund dessen, weil ich noch zwei weitere seeds von der Panties habe und die z-ups einfach mehr Potential zeigen. Ich werde natürlich weiter über die Panties berichten. Z-up #1 Hat keine Probleme, wächst vernünftig, zeigt keinerlei überdüngung und hat bei 570ppm einen drain von 1000ppm. Ph ist aber bei 7.. Z-up #2 Zeigt überdüngung an und hat auch einen drain mit 1500ppm, ph ist bei 6,7. Wächst aber super und zeigt am meisten Potential Mandarin Panties Wächst langsam, trinkt auch wesentlich weniger. Darf sich jetzt erstmal über natürliches Licht freuen und wird nicht wieder ins Zelt zurückkehren. Ich mache noch einen neuen Versuch mit diesem strain So long, bis zur nächsten Woche

Poor Skunk Apple really is the runt of the litter. I think we can blame my rookie mistake of giving it a gallon of water that was way too strong. It's been struggling to recover ever since. Hopefully this little guy will catch up eventually, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet! I can't believe how much my plants have grown during this stretch! It's like they've been on some serious plant steroids. They've all at least doubled in size, some of them even more. I have a hard time with overwatering, especially now that it's harder to let them dry out. I just don't know if I'm damaging the roots with all this growth.

Welcome everyone We are in the last days of the week n°5 with the AYAHUASCA PURPLE 😈 Like my all plants now into the garden, she's in a good form, even after the topping last week ✂️ The lower branches are pretty much almost at the same height.. The stem is strong and the colors of the leafs is also good...a nice green. But i will definetly hope for some purple shades 🤞 In any case.. In this week i have reduced the lights cycle from 16/8 on/off to 14/10 on/off 💡 At the same time i have increase the intensity of my two led SP3000 from 50% to 75% and im going to put them at the maximum potency after the switch at 12/12 The two led panel are connected with a cable and i have only to adjuste the dimmer of one of them for change the intensity of each one, in just one move.. About nutrients 👇 In this week i still giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) / Bioheaven (Biobizz) for the first time and a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) {not in spray solution but mixed with the othersone in to the water} Like i usually do, a little bit of everything at any watering 💧 Anyway.. I decided to take both photos and videos, basically so as not to bore you and me with the same things over and over again.. Hope you enjoy Next week we are officially in flowering, so stay tuned 🌻 Thanks guys for stopping by 😎👍👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

Got a dehumidifier it’s reading different from what mine controller 69 is saying but I have it set at 40% it’s the lowest so it’s going pull humidity regardless right now it’s about 53% which is okay would like it to get down to the 40’s I also changed the light schedule today to 20/4 the humidity raises at in my tent when lights are out so I figured change it to 20/4 instead of the 18/6 I’ve been running so if humidity does go over it won’t be for as long as before hopefully this works just trying to avoid any mold situation So far the Amneisa Haze 2 is at stretching she’s going be big I can but the haze 2 is done seems to just be flowering the sour diesel is looking good as well so far I’m happy with its looking like left town for two days and the auto watering pots worked!

Flipped these they looked like they was ready but i had to go away for 4 days and when i got back god they got bushy!! So many side shoots etc so ive had to trim them again take a lot of side shoots out but hopefully they didnt waste too much energy on them, going to leave them a day or two before i trim again didnt want to do it all in one go so they are looking a bit shabby at the min but they will get back on track. Got to say this strain has been really good to grow so far and its had a really good recovery and growth rate also up to now ive had no nutrient issues all the leaves have been perfectly green which is a first for me 😂,

Harvest was easy pulled all fan leafs off five days ago but left bud leafs on top to help drying process and it makes trimming easier as you can see I trim plant as it stands then I cut branches off or the whole plant. Only took 1hr to harvest.

Big ass plant,long flowering strain.very sweet smelling.Lots of colas, I'm tryna be super careful about PM as this strain is suseptable to mold so fans on it from 5pm til 8am then take outdoors. Feeding quite a bit ,she's thirsty most of the time.
