I fill a reservoir with 25 liters rainwater Then i add 10ml ph up Then i add 25ml calmag Then i add 30grams drypart bloom This way the ph is perfect and the plants have all they need. This scedule also works for soil, just add 15ml ph up instead of 10. *if my kids ever need help with growing and im gone: The scedule above is what i use from start to finish on all my plants, autoflowers and photoperiods (ofcourse half strength first 2 weeks)

OCTOBER 20 (DAY 24): Week four has begun, and I am now so completely full of questions. I’ve got preflowers on at least 2 of the 3 plants, the terminal nodes (is that right?) on all three are looking... uh... busy... lots of long, skinny growth coming out of the bud sites. I am wondering if this means it’s time to start transitioning to bloom nutes, or if I’m a little early yet. On the subject of bloom nutes..... wtf? There are so many options, and it’s hard to tell what can be used with other things and what products are supposed to be direct competitors. This is definitely going to require some trial and error. I’m also not sure what to do about the lights. Because I’m using LST on some but not all of the plants, one is significantly taller than the others (and thus closer to the lights)... this looks like a grow question. OCTOBER 21 (DAY 25): After dealing with a runaway heat problem in my tent and major height discrepancies between the LST’ed plants and the control plant, I decided to reorganize the tent... again. I’ve got my tiny tent in a nook in my bathroom, and there aren’t any ports for intake fans at the bottom of the tent (just windows), so I had been running a small intake fan shoved right up between one of the mesh intake windows and the wall. That didn’t give a ton of open air for the intake fan to draw from, so I rotated the tent 90 degrees so the intake fan has the open room air to pull from. I also raised the LST’ed plants by about 6” so the canopies of all three plants will sit roughly equal. We’ll see if this works. Τoday I fed the plants again. I’m not sure if I am going to prefer to go the FF Bembe route or the AN Big Bud/Bud Candy/Overdrive route, so I am doing a side-by-side on my LST’ed plants. Plant 3 received Bud Candy today, while plant 1 will get Bembe starting next week. I have only been feeding the plants nutes once a week. I’m wondering if I should step that up or just stick to once a week unless the plants start squawking. Any feedback would be much appreciated. TL;DR: To flower or not to flower... to feed or not to feed... to water or not to water... these are the questions. Control plant = winning. ***************************** LST Kit Info ***************************** In case anyone is interested in the LST kit I am using: https://www.etsy.com/listing/831218796/growth-manipulation-kit-for-low-stress Engineered Essentials offers these in two sizes — regular and seedling/clone. I think these autos are small enough that I should have gone with the seedling size, but I have some on the way and will report back once I give them a shot and can compare.

My plant's got a name - Melanie. She fights against the pests. We suppose that the yellowish colour of the leaves are caused by them. As I decided to help her, I used the insecticide called Dursban. As a result, the pests' number has lessened but not totally removed. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you in advance.

🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 Welcome to week 4, dear fish lovers! 💙 As you can see my fish visited some of his favorite growmies. Thanks @mrs_larimar, @dogdoctor and @cyrus_meeasy for the tea, the spliffs and the dabbs. 💚 😘 That was very nice of you to host my little fish! Look how pretty and strong, the little fish cookie.. 😍 I removed a few branches, for design reasons.. 😎 I water every morning and evening. 💧 This is so good. 🌊 Thanks, growmies, for checking in! 💚 💚 💚 😘 Always remember, we are not our thoughts, nor are we our emotions, or experiences, we are limitless, immortal and divine souls making a 3D experience. 🙏 ❇️ ____________________________________________________________________ Strain info: Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. Thanks to the 27% THC, you can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrusy and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more. Bud description Tropicana Cookies Auto produces gorgeous dark purple flowers, so expect really dark buds with gorgeous hues of pink, purple and blue, and thick dark-orange hairs that get completely covered in resin by harvest time, giving them an almost shiny-white appearance.  This variety develops a typical Indica-like structure and very few sugar leaves that will make your trimming sessions a breeze. But make sure to store your trimmings as the gorgeous flowers reek of a mouth-watering blend of lemon peels, orange juice, and sandalwood that gives it almost a citrus candy-like flavor that makes for the most aromatic hash and extractions.Smoke report Thanks to the 27% THC, Tropicana Cookies Auto’s effect starts with an energizing head rush that gets your mind up and running while leaving you in a nice calm state. As the Indica-dominant side kicks in, the powerful cerebral effect gradually moves downwards and hits your whole body with a deep relaxation that leaves you with a joyful stoney sensation that alleviates chronic pain while leaving you in an overall happy and positive state of mind.  It’s the perfect daytime and nighttime strain as it can boost your mood and enhance a night out with friends but can also quiet your mind as you get ready for a good night of sleep. No matter the scenario, expect a powerful high that lasts for hours on end.Plant appearance Tropicana Cookies Auto reaches up to 110cm and develops a tall main cola with shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. You can expect a stocky yet tall main cola with medium-sized side branches and thin fan leaves that fade into a yellowish hue with a beautiful dark purple tint. Thanks to the excellent selection, this variety develops a short internodal spacing that makes the medium-sized flowers look like they’re growing stacked on top of each other. It’s the ideal choice for growers who want to get big yields without having to deal with huge plants, as this monster yielder can produce up to 150g per plant while growing relatively short. Grow tips This variety grows super dense buds so make sure to space out the branches by tying them down, this way you improve airflow which helps prevent mold and other pests. Tropicana Cookies auto reek of a delicious sweet and sour smell so make sure to flush thoroughly to enhance the aromas even more. This terpene heavyweight finishes with lots of resinous sugar leaves that make for fantastic hash and extractions so remember to have your trim bucket ready!Flavor Tropicana Cookies Auto boasts remarkably sweet flavors that resemble a blend of lemon peels and fresh orange juice, with subtle floral undertones that make it the perfect choice for extractors looking for unique terpene profiles. Expect an overall citrusy zest that’ll coat your whole mouth and leave a delicious tropical candy-like flavor aftertaste. The sweet and sour flavors get balanced out with a herbal background that gets stronger as you exhale and gradually opens up, bringing out the whole range of woody, floral, and spicy flavors, making it the perfect choice for the most flavorful extracts. https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/tropicana-cookies-auto _________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! ❤️ If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) ✨ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Mills Nutrients Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cm³/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow + Bloom to pH 6.2 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡

This week saw an influx of flower sites all over the plant, cannot believe how many flower sites this girl started yielding! Did some HST previous week and had wrangled the stems to create knuckles by breaking cell walls and forcing them to become thicker. Pics of recovery and knuckle forming.

Shes been giving out such a sweet strawberry like scent cannot wait for her to be done. Getting a little worried because of the weather we've been having 😪 just rain on rain.... whenever i can i put her under shelter but the humidity is very high because of it. She was fed only once this week with some FPJ, Regulator, Enzym+ & Topbooster by @aptus_portugal just to give it an extra boost!

The Bruce Banner shows the first pre-flowering in Veg4. Plants are growing well but the size of the tent doesn't make it easy. The plants have already been switched to a 12/12 light cycle.

It's week 3 of the Veg stage Take care of them as usual, watering day other day and leave the pots dry on Sat-Sun. 1st topped was last week and seems they are doing good. Just the only 1 of Tropicana Cherry X Peach Ozz that seems weak, may replace with the other strain!

Day #22: The day after defoliation day... And for now it seems that the #AutoGelato ladies are recovering pretty fine, but let's not be too enthusiastic... Things can still go wrong in the next few days, but if all goes well I will be bending the ladies down in a day or two... One of the ladies is growing very nice, all branches seem to be growing towards the same height, exactly like you want them to do... Day #24: The Gelato Auto ladies from @Fast_Buds are recovering very good from their topping and defoliation last week. I must say that my LED lights from Lientec LED are helping a lot with their high quality light... Today I will start with LST, so I can create as many 'main'-branches as possible 😋 Day #26: I decided to LST just two plants for now. The rest is growing good and has a lot of branches at even height... I'm also almost at the point that I won't be adding Fulvic to the water anymore. So in week 5 the plans will only have FloraGro and FloraMicro as nutrients. Day #28: Tiny buds are slowly developing over the garden. Plants are still looking extremely good, growth is very good for 8 plants, 2 are a little behind in growth. But they were behind, before topping and LST already... In the new week, the lights will be slowly set to a higher power setting, so when blooming starts, they already have the best light they can get...
