Finally starting to see some roots underneath and some decent growth up top. I’ll update again after changing out the reservoirs to see if that helps with some of what I think is a nitrogen toxicity.

🌸 Blütetag 22 | Tag 66 gesamt 🌸 Gestern wurde ordentlich gelollipopt – und da kam schon einiges runter. Der Stretch trudelt jetzt langsam aus… zumindest fühlt es sich endlich so an. 😄 Jetzt dürfen die Damen langsam anfangen, richtig Gewicht und Masse aufzubauen. Und besonders die letzten 7–10 Tage waren komplett verrückt. Vor allem die Fruit Bomb Punch hat nochmal völlig den Turbo gezündet. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich selten erlebt, dass eine Pflanze innerhalb so kurzer Zeit nochmal so eskaliert. Die war am Anfang nach heißem Soil, Spruzit-Stress und dem Topping sogar die empfindlichste Kandidatin im Feld – und inzwischen thront sie mitten über allem. Komplett wild. 🚀 Die Chicken & Waffles und die Fruit Bomb Punch liegen jetzt beide ungefähr bei 1,10–1,12 m, wobei die Fruit Bomb mittlerweile leicht die Führung übernommen hat und mitten im Zelt über allem steht. Und das auch nur, weil sie inzwischen schon drei Clips bekommen hat, um sie seitlich runterzuziehen – quasi Supercropping ohne richtiges Supercroppen. Ohne diese Clips wäre sie wahrscheinlich inzwischen irgendwo bei 1,25 m, 1,30 m oder vielleicht noch höher angekommen. Absolut wahnsinnig, wie die abgegangen ist. Man merkt einfach, dass sie trotz Topping am Ende komplett Richtung Triebmonster tendiert. Einer der beiden Haupttriebe hat sich deutlich dominanter entwickelt als der andere und zieht jetzt brutal nach oben. Dazu kommt dieser Geruch… die Fruit Bomb Punch heißt wirklich nicht ohne Grund so. 🍓💥 Das ist inzwischen eine legitime Fruchtbombe. Extrem laut, extrem intensiv und komplett raumfüllend. Wahrscheinlich das stärkste und aggressivste Terpenprofil im ganzen Run bisher. Die Strawberry AK bleibt dagegen weiterhin die absolute Bilderbuchpflanze im Feld. Kompakt, buschig, brutal gesund und voller Budsites. Von der reinen Höhe hat sie gegen die beiden Monster zwar keine Chance, aber genau das macht sie spannend: Sie hat unglaublich viele kräftige Seitentriebe und Budsites aufgebaut – ehrlich gesagt deutlich mehr als die Fruit Bomb Punch. Deshalb könnte sie am Ende sogar heimlich das eigentliche Ertragsmonster werden. Nicht über Höhe, sondern über pure Masse und Struktur. 😄 Nach dem Lollipoppen habe ich sie deshalb auch etwas auf einen Topf hochgebockt, damit sie besser mit ins Canopy kommt und die vielen Tops ordentlich Licht bekommen. Ihre Struktur ist einfach wahnsinnig sauber. Eigentlich musste man an der Pflanze bisher kaum etwas machen. Auch die Chicken & Waffles entwickelt sich inzwischen zum absoluten Monster. Trotz untoppter Struktur hat sie extrem viele schöne Seitentriebe hochgezogen und steht überraschend eben im Canopy. Dafür, dass sie nie getoppt wurde, ist das schon ziemlich beeindruckend. Diese riesigen Internodienabstände, die anfangs fast schon zu wild wirkten, sorgen jetzt dafür, dass überall Licht tief in die Pflanze fällt und die Seitentriebe brutal mitziehen. Terpentechnisch entwickeln sich die drei Damen mittlerweile ebenfalls komplett unterschiedlich: Die Fruit Bomb Punch ist einfach pure Frucht und komplett laut. Die Strawberry AK geht eher in eine cremigere, weichere Candy-Fruchtrichtung. Und die Chicken & Waffles bleibt bisher eher würzig unterwegs. Auch technisch läuft der Run aktuell erstaunlich entspannt. Die Dripper laufen konstant morgens, mittags und abends – besser geht’s eigentlich kaum. Die Pflanzen wirken super stabil versorgt und gerade in dieser explosiven Phase scheint ihnen das richtig gutzutun. Temperaturtechnisch ist ebenfalls noch alles im Rahmen, auch wenn die Luftfeuchtigkeit inzwischen langsam etwas anzieht. Aber bei der Blattmasse und dem Wachstum wundert das mittlerweile auch nicht mehr. 😄 Gesundheitlich sieht der Run aktuell wirklich top aus. Eigentlich gibt es nichts Auffälliges außer der ganz normalen Aufhellung im Verlauf der Blüte. Keine echten Probleme, keine größeren Mängel – genau so darf’s weitergehen. 🙏 Jetzt heißt es: Budstacking, Gewicht und hoffentlich nicht komplett ans Zeltdach wachsen. 😅 Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. 🍯 Grow on 🌱 Flower Day 22 | Day 66 overall 🌸 Yesterday was lollipopping day — and quite a lot came off. The stretch finally seems to be slowing down now… at least it feels like it. 😄 From here on, the ladies can hopefully start focusing more on proper bud stacking, weight and mass. And honestly, the last 7–10 days have been completely insane. Especially the Fruit Bomb Punch absolutely hit the turbo again. I rarely see a plant explode that hard within such a short time. Early on she was actually the most sensitive plant in the tent after the hot soil mix, the Spruzit stress and the topping — and now she completely dominates the middle of the canopy. Absolute madness. 🚀 The Chicken & Waffles and the Fruit Bomb Punch are now both sitting around 1.10–1.12 m tall, although the Fruit Bomb has slightly taken the lead and now towers above everything else in the center of the tent. And that’s only because she already got three clips to pull her sideways — basically supercropping without actually supercropping. Without those clips she would probably be somewhere around 1.25 m, 1.30 m or maybe even higher by now. Just crazy how hard she stretched. You can really tell that despite the topping she still wants to become one giant dominant shoot monster. One of the two main tops clearly became much stronger than the other and is now absolutely blasting upwards. And then there’s the smell… the Fruit Bomb Punch truly deserves her name. 🍓💥 This thing is a legitimate fruit bomb. Extremely loud, extremely intense and completely fills the room. Probably the strongest and most aggressive terp profile in the entire run so far. The Strawberry AK, on the other hand, remains the absolute textbook plant of the run. Compact, bushy, incredibly healthy and completely packed with budsites. Height-wise she can’t compete with the two monsters, but that’s exactly what makes her so interesting: she built an insane amount of strong side branches and budsites — honestly way more than the Fruit Bomb Punch. So she might secretly become the true yield monster in the end. Not through height, but through pure mass and structure. 😄 After lollipopping I even raised her slightly on top of a pot so she can stay better within the canopy and get more light to all those tops. Her structure is just ridiculously clean. Honestly, she barely needed any work during the whole grow. The Chicken & Waffles is also turning into a complete monster by now. Despite being completely untopped she developed tons of beautiful side branches and created a surprisingly even canopy. For an untopped plant, that’s seriously impressive. Those huge internodal gaps that initially looked almost too wild are now allowing light to penetrate deep into the plant and all the side branches are exploding as well. Terp-wise the three ladies are also separating more and more now: The Fruit Bomb Punch is just pure loud fruit. The Strawberry AK leans into a creamier, softer candy-fruit direction. And the Chicken & Waffles currently stays more on the spicy side. Technically the run is also going surprisingly smooth right now. The drippers are running consistently morning, noon and evening — honestly couldn’t ask for much better. The plants seem extremely stable and happy with it, especially during this explosive phase of growth. Temperature-wise things are still under control too, although humidity is slowly starting to creep up. But with this amount of leaf mass and growth, that’s hardly surprising anymore. 😄 Health-wise the run currently looks really great overall. Basically nothing concerning besides the normal lightening during flower progression. No real deficiencies, no major problems — exactly how you want things to go. 🙏 Now it’s time for bud stacking, weight gain and hopefully not completely growing into the tent roof. 😅 In the end, the jar decides. 🍯 Grow on 🌱

Again another steady week, some additional nutrients given right after some defoliation and LST maintenance. The new PH And TDS meter seem to be helping a lot with give her what she needs! Thanks again for reading! Happy smoking and of course happy growing 😊✌️

Início mais uma etapa depois da minha última colheita !todos sao clones das plantas anteriores kush critico e algumas estao revegetando ainda e outras esta ficando prontas para proxima flora!

Going into week 9, seeing some frost on the leaves and the aroma is stronger and so nice. She looks great after the heavy defoliation last week, contrary to opinions from a few critics. Sometimes I like to find out for myself, I read many different viewpoints on defoliation and I decided to try. And it worked. Peace friends, happy growing! 🌱👍

And me thinking this was gonna be her last week, but is not after all, she is asking for a few more days as e can see on the close up shoots, and with these she keeps putting grams after grams on her fruits and i am starting to think this will be my biggest harvest ever on an auto flower, but lets see <3 <3 <3 all i did this week was look at her evolution and enjoy the ride, we are on that faze that patience is the key for the perfect harvest, and i have learned that in the past the hard way hehehe love how her colors are changing and fading in to some pinks mixed with purples and a bunch more colors we cant see on them pictures but i will try and capture them the best i can so that we all can enjoy her beauty and her all <3 <3 <3 For now all i can say is that this was a easy one so far and a esay one that looks amazing to my eyes, thank you SSSC for this creation of yours, she is a QUEEN no questions there As always thank you all for stopping by for the love and for it all, hope you all surrounded with love , health and blessing of all kinds <3 <3 <3 Genetics : PURPLE OG PUNCH AUTO (Purple Punch x Auto OG Kush) @ Super Sativa Seed Club All info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://aptus-holland.com/ https://supersativaseedclub.com/cannabis-seeds https://autopot.co.uk/ https://lumatek-lighting.com/ #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #growerslove #dogdoctoofficial With true love comes happiness <3 <3 <3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing in return and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 More info and updates @ https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctor/official https://instagram.com/dogdoctorofficial https://youtube.com/channel/UCR7ta4DKLFMg2xxTMr2cpIg <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 <3<3<3 have a bunch of other journey going on, fell free to stop by and say hi, don be shy <3<3<3 Strain info : About Auto Purple OG Punch cannabis seeds To create Auto Purple OG Punch we crossed our feminized Purple Punch with an autoflower OG Kush. The original Purple Punch is a cross between Larry OG and Grandaddy Purple, illustrious and stable indica dominant THC-rich heavyweights! The total grow cycle from autoflower seed to harvest is a short 9 weeks. You will be rewarded with a large yield of sticky resinous buds, up to 600g/m2 indoors. If you’re looking to grow a high quality indica auto made with cannabis cup winning genetics you will love Auto Purple OG Punch. THC content is always up-to/around 20%. Auto Purple OG Punch effects are intense, euphoric and relaxed. She also contains around 1% CDB which contributes to the very smooth, chilled smoke. Expect a mouthwatering blend of sweet tasting candy, dark fruit and hints of spice. A real connoisseur cocktail with powerful effects! She normally reaches around 1m tall. But in optimized conditions with LED grow lights you can see occasional monster plants up to 2m tall with XXL yields. Auto Purple OG Punch is easy, potent and heavy yielding indoors. She also delivers well outdoors - such as the balcony or garden. Auto Purple OG Punch is a perfect, powerful strain for a quiet relaxed day. The calming indica body effect is very satisfying and de-stressing

End of week 5 - Night 41 Added a couple videos, one from the side of the buds and one from the back (LST) things are going well for this plant now, it may only be 15-18cm but its flowering stronger than my other plants. the smell is just getting more pure and strong every day :) and its getting frostier too :D so excited! I have to grab myself a magnifying glass of sorts on monday to try and estimate when harvest will be :o

Week5 D1 Start of week 5 we stay the course. Rainbow belts is showing some issues- a little bit of nutrient burn as well as light burn but she is actually stacking and swelling more than the other girls. Next feeding the other girls will get recharge and fish sh for 1.5g each and for safe measure I will flush rainbow belts with 2g 6.5ph dechlorinated tap water. Week5 D2 All the girls are showing color either oranges browns or pink/purple. The burn hasn't progressed and I think they are about to start bulking- tomorrow I will partial flush with recharge and fish sh!t and then in 5 days I'll top dress them with seabird guano and langbeinite Hope it works out. Week5 D3 Opened the tent to see some major deficiency with rainbow belts. Pictures of the leaves attached. I am thinking she has a salt build up and we will go with a partial flush for all 4 girls today with 2 gallons of water. Enough to hopefully get off some excess salt and it will make sure the other girls are ready for another feeding in the 4 days. I may just do a half feed for rainbow belts when I do a full for the other girls. Wish me luck. Week5 D4 Post flush- all are responding well but rainbow still had some more leaves curl- will let roots dry and breathe a bit and will assess throughout the next 4 days. Crumble also has slight tip burn but that may be from flushing excess salts. Week5 D5 2 days past flush and they are all responding well. Rainbow Belts is starting to throw some serious color. I'll wait til the end of grow to give a review on her but damn if she wasn't such a damn diva she would be an amazing full grow! Everything else is looking good so next water we will recharge the microbiology with some recharge and fish sh!t but let's see how it does these next few days. Week5 D Issue returned with a vengeance- will let it dry out and then water with water at 6.3ph and cal mag and then im just gonna let it run its course.

Hello happy friendly growers, All was fine this week, I've started bloom fertilizer and plagron sugar royal this sunday. She look nice and buds are biggest each day Have a nice week :D

I'm happy :) I couldn't do it as it should have been, my ph meters broke and ruined everything :( well, but I'm very, very satisfied with the result :) a big thank you to my teacher :)@AsNoriu you are super :) without you it wouldn't have been possible :) I learned a lot of useful information from you :) the house is full of lemon aroma :)

Monday To be honest I'm writing these word on the Sunday night so it's not yet monday but shit happened during last week and I would like to focus on the issue all that week and maybe the next So I have thrips and maybe red spiders and the invasion is a hard one ! Why ? Because of a f$@#ing outdoor plant that I've put inside for 2 weeks ( stupid or dumb ? ) 😓 The flowering is already starting good but not buds are really formed so maybe I can still save them without harming the future buds because I'm about to neem oil spray them ! I've also heard about cinnamon mixture against bugs : great cuz I've got 10 cinnamon trees in 20L pots since a least 4 years ( yeah they are struggling to stay alive ) so I'm gonna use this . If you have any more tricks against these bastards please tell me in the comment 🙏 Watering Ec 1.8 // PH 5.9 Friday The girls are doing good since the neem oil spraying 😉 I have also manually removed some red spiders under the leaves with a wet tissue and the last move was to remove the 2 ultra lemon haze that were sharing the same box so now I only have 2 grapefruits inside 🤔 which is not cool because the space can handle 4 to 6 plants so I'll have some germination to start before next week 😋 Thanks for everyone inputs about my bug issue I will keep an eye on it Feeding like usual with my new formula mixing Greenhouse powder Feeding & GHE Maxibloom + calcium : ph 5.9 and 1.7 ec . Next week I'll introduce the PK boost with an EC around 2.0 Saturday Just a little video with a old ass song 😊✌️ enjoy the music ( or hate it ) .

Wow things have been looking good so far, Really no problems.. Slow but I'm seeing the fruit the joy pop out of my ladies. So i gave Trina a cut after feeding very heavy as you can see in the pic. Ran out of Ph up and Gina ran Ph of smfh 5.6, that's all I'm going to say.. Cross my fingers also my Rh really been up and down. I'm going to fix that tomorrow.

Week 1 of the latest cycle and starting out with some new hardware and an expanded grow print👍. We’re running 4 autos via a recirculating Dutch bucket system. First time on a dutchy so it’s gonna be interesting to see how it stacks up against DWC. I’ll give a full rundown on the system I’ve cobbled together on the next update. So far - all seedlings have germ’d without issue using the standard p-towel method. Why more people don’t use this method on GD is beyond me. It’s so reliable that some breeders even warranty your seeds if you use this method and more than 1 seed fails to crack. We’ve got little sprouts coming up now and it’s all just waiting for those first couple fan leaves to come out and those roots to run to the bottom of each bucket. They’ve been placed in root riot cubes (essentially a version of rapid rooters) like most of our runs and I’d recommend their use with all autos. Time and stress on young autos is key so they need the absolute best start you can give them👌. End of week update - looks like we got 4 quality little seedlings here👍. Alls good other than battling a ph issue for most of the week. Keeps spiking overnight for no real reason - hopefully it’ll even out and isn’t the early sign of a major problem🤞. Background The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

She’s coming around but I believe the yield is very low. Learning experience with this one. She was neglected and stunned many times

Not much to say about the GG#4 at this time, will update in about two weeks with dry weight/flavor/smoke info. Overall I am happy with this strain and how it grew. Update June 19, 95 grams dry bud. Very impressed with the bud size, density, color and stickyness. First smoke impression is hints of fruit and citrus, sweet aroma and flavor. Very mellowing high, just feel like relaxing on the couch with a large pizza lol 😁

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plants. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more light penetration. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there wasn't much change Some new growth..the colas are stacking nicely which is good. Hope they stretch some more still.. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how they flower. Stay safe!

Started adding the nutes at 1ml/l. Just using Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco A+B for veg, Will add in some molasses after any HST or defoliation (stress). Looking good so far.

Day 42 - Nutes mixed and fed - Have a bug to remove - awaiting Petratools Fogger - Preflower is happening now - Vibe: 😅 Day 44 - Ladies looking a bit droopy and sad - Nutes given - Most likely week 1 of flower for Gorilla Cookies and Wiz Stash Remix - Vibe: 🍃😩🤞🏽🙏🏽 Day 46 - After advice provided from @GrowingGrannie & Others, I watered with purpose - The really sad Gorilla Cookies took the most water, and was in fact dried out - Did not see praying for at least 24hrs, but did eventually see praying in the top portion - As well as lifting of the lower leaves from a curled position to a straighter position - Vibe: 😰 - Readings -- Lights 24/0 - Level 9 -- Temp: 70 (ideal) | 66.9 (avg) -- Humidity: 55% | 53.4% -- VPD: 0.8 | 1.03 kPa - Vibe: 😳 "Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work though difficult problems." — Gever Tulley
