Hey everyone! Welcome to our second grow journal! We're growing the same strains as in the first journal, but this time, we plan to only top the plants. They're in 18-liter pots, and you'll be able to follow their progress here as well. These plants are 20 days younger than the ones in the first grow, so it'll be interesting to compare their development. Stay tuned for updates!

Week 6 and my girls are finally in flower! 😍 And wow, the girl on the front stretched out a lot and it seems she's also a couple of days more mature than her sister! That also helped me to take some cool photos in a really short span of time! Hopefully the ones I took are enough! Don't forget to check the timelapse of well!! My girls now are taking flower fertilizers and I did some more aggressive LST on them, plus a very selective defoliation for both girls. I want the light to spread as much as possible to get some big flowers in the future! Sadly, not everything was good! I noticed some magnesium deficiency on the girl that's on the back. Perhaps I was giving them a water that was too high in pH? Or what else could it be? Maybe a root lockout? No idea but I decided to lower the pH of this week and see how she evolves. Anyway, that's all for now. Stay safe, please enjoy the photos and see you all next week! 😁

Day 8 Flower (Day 50) The first day of the second week of flower and the strech is real. The right girl is getting pretty damn big and keeps on drinking a lot. I gave her another 3 liters of pH 6.4 water today. On the other hand, the left girl drinks hardly anything, so I didn't need to water her. I also did some lollipopping today and got rid of a whole bunch of undergrowth. I saved some clones off the big girl but no clue what to do with them. We'll see what happens. Day 9 Flower (Day 51) Chill day today. All I did was to give each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and snap a few pics. Day 10 Flower (Day 52) Today I finally got around to re-organize the small tent to move the light as high up as possible to give the canopy some additional space. I moved the exhaust fan to outside the tent, so it was out of the way for the light, and then put the circulation fan below the canopy, blowing upward. Finally, I adjusted the light so it was reading about 900 PPFD in the center of the canopy. The left girl didn't need any water today, but the right girl got 3 liters of pH 6.2 water. Day 11 Flower (Day 53) They're back! The fungus gnats are back in the tent, although I'm not surprised, and let me tell you why. When the light for my tomatoes and peppers broke down, I had to move them so that they get some daylight. It is still cold here (the coldest May around these parts ever, I think), so they have to stay inside even though they usually would have moved outside long ago. The best place to keep them in my apartment is by the window in the same room as my grow tents. The last time I had gnats, I only had enough nematodes to treat my girls, but I didn't do the rest of the apartment even though I should have. So currently, my peppers and tomatoes all have a ton of gnats. Put plants with gnats in the same room as your grow, and it is only a matter of time before the gnats find their way into the tents. So yeah, it wasn't a surprise at all when I noticed the gnats in my tents some days ago. I put up some yellow sticky traps to deal with the adults and ordered more nematodes, enough to treat my girls, plus all other plants in my entire apartment. Twice. The nematodes arrived today, and I mixed up 10 million of them into 6 liters of water and gave each girl half at pH 6.5. That was it for today. Day 12 Flower (Day 54) Exhausting day today. I opened the tents, took pics, closed the tents. Phew! I think I need to lay down for a bit. Day 13 Flower (Day 55) Late last night I decided to supercrop the right girl to slow her down and get the canopy to even out. We're almost at the end of the second week of flower so this is the last training I will do besides some defoliation later on. I think I cropped around 10 branches or so. Today, most of the branches were already standing up again and she was VERY thirsty so I gave her 4.5 liters of pH 6.4 water. The left girl on the other hand didn't need any water. Day 14 Flower (Day 56) The last day of the second week of flower and the right girl is in flower. Early yet so still small and no smell, but they are there. The left girl is in flower as well but isn't as far along, but that isn't unexpected considering the different lights. The left girl is 68 cm tall (18 cm increase in a week), and the right girl is 100 cm tall (23 cm increase in a week) but would have been even taller without super-cropping. I gave each girl three liters of pH 6.3 water and removed the tape from the right girl's broken branch. She looks fully healed, so I removed the supports as well, and she was looking great. However, thinking about it for a second, I put back one of the supports, just in case.

wow!!!!! she's amazing :) her buds already look stiff, and she's still ripening :) Zamnesia Runtz auto is great for small spaces, I can also smell her amazing scent, I have no doubt that she'll have a great smoke :) the girl will only get 6.3ph water from now on, -washing :) I think she has about 2 weeks left until the finish :) I can't take all the credit for it, my Cat helps me :) watch the video :).

Nach der Entlaubung letzter Woche haben sich die Pflanzen gut erholt und im Netz entfalten lassen. Die Blütenansätze sind nun deutlich sichtbar. Der Geruch ist moderat und die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit konstant. Bin gespannt wie groß die so werden. Ist mein erster Grow von Photoperiodischen Pflanzen.

Plant going as wanted, INSANE growth, very special in the way it behaves. I cannot kill this thing no matter what you do. After the second schwazzing where I took I think 130+ leaves, it regend within 48 hours... I am not sure what to say, but I guess these mofos are made with some mastermind in the back. Im just blown away and that from a free tester seed.

Plants Flipped to flower on a 12/12 light schedule. EC dropped slightly to try and reduce any major stretch. These plants should have been lollipoped last week before putting them into a scrog but unfortunately I was unable to, so I have to remove the Scrog to make it easy to lollipop and then place them back into a Scrog once lollipoped. When the Scrog was placed back on it was more for support as I'd already built the structure of the plant the prior weeks. Although a few lanky branches did get bended back over. Another Scrog layer will probably added later in flower for further support when buds start forming.

-07.04.2025 Today is the day. After a thorough examination of the trichomes, I decided to harvest one of the two Royal Critical Automatic. After a total of eleven weeks. The wet weight of the flowers of Royal Critical #1 = 81 grams, The second Royal Critical Automatic was harvested 3 days later on 10.04.2025. The wet weight of flower of the second Royal Critical #2 = 90grams. The flowers are now hung out to dry and will be weighed again in 7days. -16.04.2025 After 9 days the Royal Critical Automatics are dry. The branches broke directly when bent with a nice cracking sound. The dry weight of both plants together is 41g. The flowers were stored in jars for curing with a humidity packet from IntegraTM and a hydrometer. Total Time: 1879,36h Total Energy: 326,30kWh 1kWh: 0,30€ Energy Cost total: 97,89€ 💚

11/24/2021 First true leaves are showing, transplanted 7 jiffy pellets into their first pots. Should be good for a couple weeks. Interesting to see how all the single finger leaves are developing differently. 11/25/2021 Transplantation complete #8 potted up into a small pot temporarily, Will start feeding next week Mirimichi 901C One ounce (7.8ml) to a gallon. I am guessing (prediction) #2,#6 might be male. (Both are vigorous girls) But time will tell.

Flowering Week 26: Storm Battles & Resilience Update: 10.09.2025 | Day 187 Hey Growmies, Week 26 decided to throw some serious weather at us – rain almost every day mixed with strong winds. It was enough to blow my African lady right off her socks! Durban Poison took a full tumble under the weight of those wet, dense buds. Lesson learned: never underestimate a sativa in a storm. I reinforced the whole support setup – added more stakes and wired everything firmly to the fence in the back. Blueberry, on the other hand, stood strong like the queen she is – not even a lean. Strain Check · Durban Poison: Took that fall like an absolute champion. Didn’t skip a beat – just kept bulking up like nothing happened. The smell is now coming in strong, and the colors are getting wilder every day. Respect. · Blueberry: Her buds are swelling nicely and the colors keep intensifying. She handled the monsoon rains and wind like it was a gentle breeze. Starting to give off a faint smell – still subtle, but it’s there. Next Steps · Continue weekly mineral feeding – they’re responding really well · Stay on storm watch – check support structures regularly · Keep an eye out for pests and mold (still all-clear, thankfully) That's it for this week Growmies! Catch y’all next week. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Je ne mets pas beaucoup de moyens pour faire pousser mes plantes et donc elles poussent assez lentement. Cette fois je suis très surpris. Ces medusa poussent vite et sont très semblables! Les 2 plantes ont germé à 3 jours d'intervalle. Elles ont conservé cette différence de 3 à 5 cm lors de la croissance. Maintenant le stretch est terminé et elles font exactement 55cm. Je ne perçois plus la différence visuellement. J'ai enlevé quelques feuilles du bas pour faciliter l'arrosage et ajouté un cercle de fil de fer gainé pour écarter les branches de celle de droite. Leur structure est identique. C'est stupéfiant.
