Grow Diary – Day 76 (Flowering Day 61) Strain: Amnesia Core Cut (Clone) Training: Topping, LST, HST, SCROG Nutrients: • Aptus Regulator: 0.1 ml/L • CalMag: 1 ml/L • BioBloom (Dry Amendment): 60 g (applied June 26) Water: pH-adjusted RO water (final flush phase) Lighting: LED at 60% Date: August 10 ⸻ Status: Forced Harvest – Pest Pressure Too High Today marks the end of the cycle for this Amnesia Core Cut—Flower Day 61. While buds are well-developed and aromatic, pest pressure from thrips and aphids reached a level that would likely destroy the plant if left for another 2–3 weeks. To preserve quality and prevent further spread, the decision was made to harvest early and clear the space for the next run. ⸻ Harvest Condition: • Buds dense and covered in cloudy trichomes with ~15–20% amber • Aroma at peak—intense citrus-haze with earthy undertones • Sugar leaves showing late-stage fade, fan leaves largely yellowed • No visible bud rot despite pest presence • Damage from pests mostly on foliage, minimal on buds themselves ⸻ Reason for Early Harvest: • Rapid increase in thrips and aphid populations • Risk of pest spread to other plants in the grow space • Plant already in late senescence; continued flowering would add minimal weight but increase risk significantly ⸻ Post-Harvest Plan: 1. Drying in a controlled 18–20 °C, 50% RH environment with steady airflow 2. Cleaning & sanitizing grow space to remove pests before introducing new plants 3. Inspection & culling of any nearby plants showing early pest signs 4. Planning next run with improved IPM (integrated pest management) from day one ⸻ Closing Notes: While an early harvest is never ideal, the quality of the buds at this point is still high, and the loss in yield is offset by saving the rest of the grow space from a full infestation. This run provided valuable insights into pest prevention timing and senescence management in the Amnesia Core Cut.

This is the last week. Every second evening I did an ice water flush. At day 90 she moved from the sunny balcony to the dark basement. I chose and bought a grow tent for me and my wife. So the winter we‘ll be growing our weed for the spring and summer. But actually I love to grow outdoors. Next outdoor season will be only in half a year. For me the arriving of the tent a few days ago gives me the possibility to dry without the smell in the house. Happy legal growing!

Semana del 1 al 7 de marzo. Lo apunto aquí porque sino luego no sé ni en que semana vamos jaja 😂 Las primeras fotos y vídeo son del inicio de la semana. Hemos retrasado el cambio de una semana a otra, ya que por el lavado de raíces no las pudimos alimentar antes. Luego cambiaremos el PH a 5,8-9 y el EC también lo aumentaremos. Edito: al final no lo hemos aumentado porque respondían bien y estaban recuperándose. Respecto a la semana anterior, se ven mucho mejor después del lavado de raíces. Algunas plantas están muy bajitas, así que la luz para las más bajas está a 65 cm. Mañana o pasado aplicaré jabón potásico con aceite de neem a modo de prevención. La vez pasada, que era mi primera vez plantando, llegaron trips y al final resultó todo bien, pero si no llegan los bichos, mejor todavía

Guava Sundae Automatic – Woche 5 Meine Guava Sundae Automatic befindet sich aktuell in Woche 5 und zeigt ebenfalls einen sehr schönen, buschigen Wuchs, der mir richtig gut gefällt. Sie wächst kompakt und gleichmäßig, wirkt dabei äußerst gesund und vital. Ihre Struktur ist stabil und gut aufgebaut, was eine perfekte Grundlage für die kommenden Wochen schafft. Bis jetzt sind noch keine eindeutigen Anzeichen der Blüte zu erkennen, aber es dürfte nicht mehr lange dauern, bis sie in die nächste Phase übergeht. Alles spricht dafür, dass sie kurz davor steht. Sie macht insgesamt einen sehr starken Eindruck, und ich bin mir sicher, dass auch sie ordentlich abliefern wird. Neue Updates gibt es jeden Sonntag – bleibt dran! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guava Sundae Automatic – Week 5 My Guava Sundae Automatic is currently in week 5 and is also showing a very nice, bushy growth structure that I really like. She is growing in a compact and even way, while looking extremely healthy and vigorous. Her structure is strong and well-built, providing a perfect foundation for the coming weeks. So far, there are no clear signs of flowering yet, but it shouldn’t take much longer before she transitions into the next phase. Everything indicates that she is close. Overall, she gives a very strong impression, and I’m confident that she will deliver great results as well. New updates every Sunday – stay tuned!

Added another 1800w LED (pulls like 250w from the wall) to the 1800w one we already have. Provides a better even spread of light so they aren't all reaching for the middle and they can grow upwards towards the light instead. Raised average temps by a few degrees with still below 80 so its good. Ended up flooding the tent on accident when the water was left on and it drained our reservoir. The plants experienced some nutrient burn probably because of the 4 gallons of nutrient supplemented water they were flooded with. The time lapse will show the flood :P Refilled the reservoir with 5.8 pH'd water with no nutrients to help the nute burn. Did some defoliation and LST. Janice and Rachel were topped. Ended up accidentally snapping one of the lower branches on Monica and just propped it up and its healing well no issues. Have some great before and after pictures of some of the defoliation and growth on the plants. With the defoliation tons of new bud sights are growing well since the light can penetrate better and the addition of the new light helps too. The runt (Pheobe) is still.... runty. basically just gonna use the zkittlez to fill out some empty spaces that the sour grape kush doesn't fill. The sour grape kush is super bushy and is doing noticeably better.

Late to update this week. Was out of town and finally I found some time to update. I started giving them a healthy dose of KoolBloom to start finish this grow off. Temperature is getting higher and I wish I started these girls 2 weeks earlier, but hindsight is 420. I think these should be ready by week 9, so i’ll be looking at those trichomes at this stage of the grow. I like mine cloudy. What do you all prefer?

Diese erste Woche ist für mich nicht zufrieden stellend. Farbe aller Ladies zu hell, Wachstum in meinen Augen gehemmt da für 7 Tage zu klein. Problem ist noch nicht erkannt, da ich zum ersten mal Advanced Nutrients und das erste mal Autoflowering Seeds nutze. Die Energiesparlampe die ich schon seit Jahren verwende (bei kleinen Töpfen 1 l) war jetzt nicht gut da die Seeds direkt in die großen Töpfe gesetzt wurden und somit der Abstand und Ausleuchtung schlecht waren. Das war bei photoperiodischen Pflanzen kein Problem da immer 2 mal umtopfen. Daher heute der Umstieg auf eine Metal Halogen Lampe 250 Watt. Mal sehen was die nächste Woche bringt. Da ich nur mit Regenwasser gieße habe ich zu dem Advanced Nutrients Sortiment heute noch cal mag gekauft, da auch dies ein Thema sein könnte. Gestartet bin ich mit dem Dünger an Tag 5 mit der hälfte des Düngeplans… ist das so okay? Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit kann ich als Problem ausschließen da die Werte gut waren

Pulled her at day 55 of flower which is earlier than I expected. I was planning on pushing 70 days but the trichomes on the tops and mids had a good amount of amber on them. Final smell is the most common phenotype - maple syrup and butter smell. Quite strong smelling too. This plant started off very stunted due to the hull of the seed remaining stuck to the cotyledon leaves for around ten days after germination. It deprived the cotyledon leaves of light to photosynthesize and also caused them to warp. Many people would have restarted possibly. The genetic expression on this one ended up being quite wonderful. I’m really excited for when she’s dried up and cured enough to vape some of it in around 2 weeks. I’m super happy with the combo of my soil and blumat. The worms in the soil seem healthy and abundant which seems indicative of really healthy soil.

Day 36 I guess I can call it bloom. Nice strong pistils shooting all over. She is the tallest so far making me raise my lights a little more. Day 38 Now Californian Snow is the tallest :) Ztrawberry stopped at a perfect height, it looks like she's gonna develop into a beautiful lady. Fat white pistils all over 😻 Day 39 Happy girl got 2500ml cm bg bb bh 6.3ph ~1EC She is perfect, symmetrical, stopped stretching at about 50cm, flowers are mostly leveled, branches are strong, leaves point up unless I water. I think she's also turning purple. Beaut 😻 Day 42 I think I saw some burnt tips but she still looks super happy and healthy. The most vigorous plant I've had.

Another fast update! 😃 Hey guys! I hope everything is going well for everyone. This is the 2nd week of flower and I'm here again to share what happened last week! My babies now get thirsty really easy, nothing like how it used to be (and you can actually see them stressing over it in my photos) but gladly nothing that some water can't fix. The main colas are also starting to grow more and they are full of small developing flowers (they look super pretty! 😍) Some side stems are also outgrowing the main branches... and I'm kinda unsure what I want to do (or if I should do anything). Maybe LST or supercrop them? (I might screw things up by doing it in flower and I have never done it before 😭) I don't know. I also want to trim some leaves away since the foliage is very dense but I fear I might end stressing them! I will probably make a grow question to know what others think. I'm back on a normal nutrient schedule. I'm no longer "overfeeding" them and I water them 4 times a week (but with little water). Next week I'll try doing 3 but with more water and see if they like it more that way. So far I love how the plants are developing! The small flowers look great and they look bigger everyday! 😃 Thanks everyone! See you all next week! 👋

My gas tax plant is looking absolutely incredible right now. It's got these massive buds that are super dense and have this awesome dark color to the leaves. I'm so excited to see how it turns out when it's finally ready to be harvested. I've been checking the height, the thickness of the stem, and the density of the buds to get an idea of how much longer I have to wait. I think I might start flushing it soon. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

3rd week in flower and shes gone mad was told that it wouldnt get too big but someones lieing lol its almost 4ft tall might repot her because i dont think a 5ltr pot is big enough let me know what you guys think all info greatly appreciated peace growmies 💯💪👍😋

Week 7 for Fuel D.OG by seedsman One of my favourites of this season... so much so I've decided to flower her indoors instead of putting her outdoors as planned. She will probably get 2/3 more weeks of veg before going into flower anyway. Shes being fed a heavy watering every 2 days. She's also got 26 tops ATM, don't think ill be topping again unless i have space to do so. Will still be pulling her apart more just letting these tops grow up a little & when i transplant her to 25L ill pull her sideways. Have a new LED light coming in this week to handle the temps of the summer better. No more yellowish looking photos 😂

I cannot wait to see how this beautiful Queen is going to look at te end of the flowering stage, she’s the closet I’ve came to LST in a manner I wanted this baby to grow, loving how brunches twirl around the twig, l have stopped growing Christmas tree shaped babies. I LST from the seedling phase right through to flowering, you should not forget that this plant can take stress, imagine it was growing in the wild, some stress in your plant’s lie is critical for positive growth, from my point of view my trees are going to struggle with big buds, because it does not have this thick stems.

Holy sh#* the Biscotti mintz is officially going to be in every single grow I do from now on I’m kind of unimpressed by the GMO punch it is only the end of Week 5 so I know the gmos will have to probably be harvested on week 10 because the bud size is just not something I’m happy about rn although there is one pheno that I think got the purple punch side of it and it’s looking really good !! But the THC is off the charts on all these plants and I can’t wait for the harvest sorry it’s been a while I just got a new job at a dispo here in the valley Greenpharms! Love you guys see you soon !

Gonna start flush this week….everything looking great…no problems this run I love it when they grow themselves practically

Flower Week 5 successful 🌱

🗓️ WEEK 8 (flo) - HARVEST WEEK (56° FLO) 💧 Midway through this final week of flowering, I performed a complete DWC reservoir change. I replaced the nutrient solution with plain tap water, EC 0.4 - pH 5.8. This flushing solution was maintained for 4 days, right up until the moment of harvest. 🌱 On the 56° day of flowering (day 84 from the dry seed), the plant appeared perfectly ready for harvest. The buds are dense and glistening with resin, nearly all pistils have browned and retracted, and the trichomes show a beautiful mix of milky and enough amber. Immediately after chopping her down, I removed all the large fan leaves and I've decided to dry these too as they are remarkably full of resin. ✅ DRYING PHASE The entire plant was hung to dry inside the grow box, which was kept completely dark with constant, gentle air circulation for 8 days. The average VPD during this period was maintained around 1.2 (approximately 20°C and 50% RH). Once this drying period was complete, I trimmed off all the sugar leaves. These resinous sugar leaves will be combined with the already dried fan leaves and larf buds, and I plan to use them to make cannabutter for edibles. ⚖️ DRY WEIGHT After the 8-day drying period, and once all the remaining small leaves and branches were removed from the buds, I weighed the final product: The harvest yielded: - 150 grams of dense buds. - 5 grams of finger hash collected during handling. For edibles: - 30 grams of larf. - A large amount of fan and sugar leaves. ⚠️ In the next coming days I'll update the harvest week with info about curing stage and a smoke review.
