Total days above ground: 63 Total flower nights: 24 Just beyond 3 weeks into flower and the plants are showing their potential. Three Animal Mints are lookingn strong. AM3 may have a highe rleaf ratio around buds, but should be some nice colas even if a bit more work to trim than the others. This strain is probably the most consistent pheno-to-pheno of the three, but Kush Mints is quite consistent too. All of the MSNL plants are robust and strong. Second grow with excellent results from this breeder. I did not pay for these seeds, but I am not a shill, either. If one of them grew all whacky like the mountaintop mint, I'd voice the same complaints. The clearly care about such traits in their selection process. Overall the canopy has filled in nicely. I have a couple spots where light is wasted and I'll make some adjustments to the process to fix that for future grows. Now that I've settled on plant size and number of plants, improvements can be made each cycle until it's clockwork. I like the 12-cola vs 8 cola experiement. I've got a fairly long list of edits to make to various sections of my "bible," which means I liked the outcomes of most of my incremental adjustments. Continual, systematic improvement in action... One other incremental change on the docket but not yet realized will be dropping nutrient concnetration once vegetative growth ends. Exact timing will be based on what I see in the foliage. I see some minor tip curl and its a bit darker than I want. So, it may come sooner than later. This'll be something I tweak over the next few grow cycles until I'm happy with the late-flower health. I'll drop fertilizer concentration 10-15% on next refill and see how that plays out. It'll take a couple refills of reservoir to near 100% transition without draining it. If necessary, I'll drain and do a full refill for more pressing needs. A rez scrub before final stretch is coming, regardless. Side note: The impacts of VPD can be enormous. Last year (2025-2 diary) I had a humidifier wick get fouled and RH dropped while VPD spiked for more than a few days, thinking I could power through or that the canopy would soon provide more moisture. Nope, growth stalled in a significant way. By comparing day 34-42-49 of 2025-2 and day 38-42-49 of this diary, I can see a huge difference in growth at same point above ground. The consitency with which i do things makes it fairly certain it's the extende period with extremely high VPDs that caused the difference. Also, interesting that it mostly catches back up by completion of third week of flower. The size difference is nearly undone by this point, though 2025-2 took 4 days longer vege phase to get there. Even so, I still think this grow is more than 4 days ahead of 2025-2 (the difference in vegetative phae duration). Time will tell if the development is ahead of the pace in 2025-2 or whether it's simply mostly an offset due to a less efficient vege phase for 2025-2.

I think I should have defoliated more of her and fed her more but next time...I only removed the yellow leaves as I've read the large fan leaves are my solar panels...V1 yield 4 oz dry let's see V2.

Hello there, it's just 70 days of girls' lives. As you can see the plants are doing well. They welcomed the extra HPS 250watt lamp, the overall temperature went up and the humidity dropped to 40% in the day. After rinsing the plants I intend to reduce the overall dose of BioBizz fertilizers and use the last time PK 13/14.

Week 9 .......... Flower Week.........June 6 to 12, 2020 ........ Days 57 to 63 from germination The two girl are sure opposites of each other in how this grow is turning out😂😂👍 GSC2 didn’t get a good transplant and she has really suffered for it........add in that both of them were battling high pH in first weeks and thus the reason for the transplant from the fabric pots into plastic.......she is actually hanging in there and this week progressed well. GSC on the other hand I just have to put into her own tent!!!! She is too freaking big!!!!! I can’t fit her in with the other flowering girls and have any success at the grow👍💪👊😉 The environment is not where it needs to be though for flower so added another humidity controller and smaller full spectrum light to bump up to 300 watt range in the veg/flower tent now. Had limited choice with a limited budget and needed it now. I could go through more fooling around for only roughly 3 more weeks before others are done and could combine the plants.......good excuse though to have increased flexibility going forward😉😉😉👍 Feed amount have been as expected with GSC taking 4L most days while GSC2 is more of 2.5L range when feeding. Have noticed they are taking more water in the taller 3 gallon plastic pots. That is a lot of bottles listed but they are never fed that all at once. That is just a full list of products used this week and the dosage in that feed. I have been holding the feed numbers around 1000 ppm the last week and I think she can take more so have bumped that up to 1300 range for the next week. Expect to see some tip burn as pushing them but very little so far. GSC is now 36” and 36” wide but her bud sites are not very big in my opinion. I have replaced G.P. Massive with A.N.Big Bud for now as I don’t need her getting any taller......just grow BIG BUD😃😃 GSC2 is being fed the same schedule as GSC and the same feed so all numbers are the same. GSC2 is only 17” tall though and 24” wide. GSC Environment has been hovering at 80 degrees and 50 percent humidity most of the days. (Another Humidity controller and light arrive this week.) GSC2 Environment has been hovering at 79 degrees and 61 percent humidity for most of the week. Yeast and sugar CO2 in use. Fast Buds strain is solid👊💪👍😍 as is evident in GSC......all issues are grower related to pH problems in first three weeks of their life. Little more detail: June 6, Day 57 - 8L mixture with BigBud @ 2ml, VeloKelp, Rezin, liquid Wt, Vitathrive, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml = 1275ppm and 6.1pH - GSC took 5L and GSC took 3L. - turning lights down yesterday helped. Both girls leaves are standing up more now, June 7, Day 58 - debated on feed but mixed 8L with BigBud @ 2ml, Rhinoskin, VeloKelp, Rezin, liquid Wt @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1015ppm and 5.6pH - GSC took 6L and GSC2 2L.......good run off from GSC but none from GSC2 - GSC tent needs more humidity in it......working on it - GSC2 is not looking all that great with her long fan leaves. June 8, Day 59 - dry out day - GSC is doing very well and looking big. - GSC2 is doing better since in the flower tent and under the T5 light. June 9, Day 60 - mixed 8L water with Massive and Terpinator @ 3ml, Sensizyme, Rezin, Vitathrive @ 2ml, Liquid Wt @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1050ppm and 5.6pH - GSC given 5L and GSC2 was 3L. - Full strength feed as things are going okay overall. - GSC2 is getting taller and lower branches standing up more now. - GSC is happy by herself😀 June 10, Day 61 - 6L mixture with BigBud, Rezin @ 2ml, Liquid Wt @ 1.5ml = 475ppm - 4L for GSC and 2L for GSC2 - fair bit of runoff - GSC2 still has lots of leaves but they are not touching the pot anymore, she is getting taller. - GSC is really happy with her leaves way up. Buds are getting bigger as well......slowly😳 June 11, Day 62 - Dry out day today. - left them alone. - GSC will remain by herself. Need to get the humidity up over the 53% though. Temp is fine at 79 degrees. June 12, Day 63 - 8L mixture with Terpinator @ 3ml, BigBud, Rezin, Vitathrive @ 2ml, Sensyzime, Liquid Wt, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml = 1350ppm and pH to 5.6 - GSC took 5L and GSC2 was 3L.......good runoff amounts from both. - GSC2 taken off the milk crate today. Stripped more leaves as well. Looking better at the end of the week👍

Another good week inside the tent. The girls have kicked into flower, and are throwing out an absolutely gobsmacking amount of pistils at current. Also, leaves are starting to get a little dusting of frost. Very good signs this early. Timelapse is out and updates will be posted as things happen. Keep eyes peeled for some EOS rebel shots this week. -10/15- Eos Rebel shots are out, showcasing the huge masses of white pistils at each budsite.

We added a new member to the family yesterday a BCN Critical XXL Autoflower from SeedStockers in a 5 gallon with soil and perlite mix. He said he has been having a little trouble with temperatures being too cold but he has been figuring it out and he almost has it under control and it shows. They are all looking great. They are going to start flower soon. I think hes in for a treat. I am working on a flowering feed guide for him. He has been doing great with minimal nutrients so we will keep it that way.

Girls got topped this week. I decided to only top once due to the herming last time. But they are growing well after the transplant last week. I'm happy with the growth and we'll look to flip over the next couple weeks

Am Anfang der Woche hat sich ein kleiner Marienkäfer eingeschlichen und hat meine Blüten nach Schädlingen abgesucht, sehr nützlich :) Die Blüten werden auch immer schwerer und ich musste die Zweige aufgrund ihrer Länge zusätzlich mit Fäden in der Mitte unterstützen. Die Bude sind mittlerweile immer größer und haben enorm an Gewicht zugelegt.

Week 7 update (start of flowering): The autos have officially entered early flower – pistils are popping everywhere, and the stretch is slowing down. The canopy is already pretty filled, so I’m focusing now on feeding for bloom. Nutrients this week: • Terra Aquatica Grow A + Grow B → lowered slightly as plants shift into flower (~650–750 ppm). • PK booster added for the first time to support early bud development. • CalMag still at 1 ml/L to keep leaves healthy and prevent deficiencies. • Silic Rock 1 ml/L for stronger stems. • Microbes (Great White + Trikologic) to keep roots active. Training: • Final round of LST to open budsites before flowers set fully. • Light defoliation on big fan leaves shading potential bud areas. • No more heavy stress training – from now on just guiding. Observations: • Runtz is clearly leading with stronger bud formation, pistils are already stacking. • Amnesia autos are slightly slower but catching up. • Mike Tyson is still behind (due to earlier overfeeding) but slowly recovering. • Plants are smelling more day by day – fruity and sweet terps are starting to come out. Plan: • Keep PK booster in rotation. • Watch EC/PPM carefully (don’t push too hard – better to underfeed than burn at this stage). • Prepare for rapid bud growth in weeks 8–9.

At this point of the process, you just sit there and observe how the plant gets fatter and fatter. The only thing you have to do is give her food, take care of her and that's it. Harvest is coming Sólo queda mirar, alimentarla y cuidarla básicamente. Los cogollos sólo se dedican a crecer.

This week she just recovered from a snap I had while training her smh was going so smooth. This the 1st time I ever snap the main steam but now she seems like she is bouncing back. 2nd week flower feeding schedule and temps been great day and night will have to get a heater soon the temps have been real low where I live so sometimes temps drop lower then I would like to. This my 1st time putting a auto-flower under 12/12 conditions normally do 18/6.
