Week 4 Report: Big Cheese Auto Flourishing in Autopilot Mode! Hey there, fellow cultivators! It's that time again – Week 4, and our Big Cheese Auto is stepping into a new phase of autonomy. This week, I introduced the Autopot system, letting our green friend decide when and how much to drink. It's like giving her the keys to the watering kingdom, and she's embracing the freedom beautifully. First and foremost, a hearty shoutout to Seeds Mafia for gifting us with genetics that keep on giving. The resilience and vigor displayed by our Big Cheese Auto are a testament to the quality seeds we started with. Now, let's dissect the nutrient symphony that's been playing in the background: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro continues to dance with the elements, ensuring a stress-free environment for our plant. The monoclinic acid is working its magic, and our Big Cheese Auto is sipping contentedly in her newfound freedom. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our nutrient bodyguard, remains on duty. This week, it's all about maintaining that structural integrity as our plant starts gearing up for more vigorous growth. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundations of greatness. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio in the All-in-One Liquidstoped as the pellets on the soil s are now available and are the backbone of our nutrient regimen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium – it's a growth party, and our Big Cheese Auto is the VIP. This all-in-one soil simplifies our feeding routine, letting us focus on the art of cultivation. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): Start Boost, the architect behind our root cathedral, is still in play. Those micronutrients are like construction workers building a solid foundation for our plant's future. The roots are thriving, and our Big Cheese Auto is standing tall. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is establishing a symbiotic relationship that's pure magic. It's like having a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: Introducing a new player to the nutrient team – NutriSpray. Packed with organic surfactants and a microelement cocktail (Mn, S, Zn, Fe), this foliar spray is like a spa treatment for our leaves. The horse chestnut extract binds with microelements, creating a protective shield that stays on leaves for up to two weeks. It's like a force field against nutrient deficiencies. How NutriSpray Works: The horse chestnut extract binds to microelements, creating a protective shield. This shield ensures the nutrients stay on leaves, allowing for a slow release over two weeks. Additionally, it thins vascular fluid, facilitating faster nutrient transport within the plant. How to Use NutriSpray: Dilute with water (2ml per 1L), and spray the entire leaf surface. For our indoor oasis, I sprayed during weeks 1, 3, and 5 of bloom for general nutrition. Our training efforts continue to pay off. Low Stress Training (LST) by bending leaves is shaping our plant into a work of art. The canopy is becoming more even, optimizing light exposure for future buds. The transplant into the spacious 15 L pot is proving to be a smart move. The roots are spreading their wings, exploring the nutrient-rich soil, and our Big Cheese Auto is reaping the benefits with each passing day. As we move into the next week, the excitement is palpable. The Autopot system is in full swing, and I can't wait to see how our Big Cheese Auto takes the reins of her own hydration destiny. Once again, a huge thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and our amazing community. This journey is a collective effort, and your support is the fuel that keeps us growing.

Wachsen und strotzen so vor Kraft

Over all was an amazing grow, super sticky dense nugs with smell of berries, highly recommended for everyone!!

Had issues with wind burn on the seedlings, so adjusted the fan and seems to be much better. Also keeping an eye on ph drift and adjusting as needed. Topped up nutes to growing stage. Looking good! Topped all the total paralysis day 21

it was a quite rewarding process. not many things to say. I enjoyed every second with the plants.

* Starting LST technique, adjusting every day: -Sour stomper #1 aggressive lst -GWK #1 aggressive lst * Just tap water, co2 tablet + EM microorganisms, overall looking really healthy. * SODK is 5 days later and the SS #3 is still stunned from rot. ° week temps: 20 c° ( few minutes/day) - 25 c°. °HR : over 70% average.

Flush And freezy

Hey guys! New week, here we are! As always, every Sunday is cleaning day. Took everything again from the tent, washed the saucers. Was also time to cut down some leaves as it was starting to look very bushy and hard for the light to get through it. During that time, came across with some bugs under the foliage, which isn't a great sign for sure. Not to mention the fruit flies that moved in and are making my life a little chaos. On top of that it seems that this little one is getting some deficiencies. Gonna ask for help in the right section to clear it out Reducing now the RH a bit, and watering now on every 72h instead of 48h to keep the grow as dry as possible. Increasing the ventilator speed was another attempt, it so much air circulating should be hard for them to make a living inside. Just put now more of those fly traps and will add a couple glasses of cider vinegar here and there, as it attracts most of the flying things with success. Note that some plants are yellowing and that's never a good sign. Though for few weeks it was Nitrogen deficiency, but after increasing it and the CalMag values, the problem persists, so I'm inclined for something bug related. Besides that, temps are still very stable, RH was changed, now to 40% tops, and the light went a little lower to get it closer to the plants - always with the light burn effect in mind. 40cm is the line between the tops and the lamp. Flowering is looking good, buds are forming well and seems that's gonna be a good ending if I can keep the bugs under control. Oh, I forgot. She has a weird smell, like a rotten mango. Not sure if that's the skunk in it coming up, or if I should actually dig and look for root rot. I don't believe in the latter one as my feedings are never abundant/excessive, use fabric pots, have great ventilation. But, the fact I don't believe in it doesn't mean I'm right. Probably I'm wrong. First signs of trichomes are here, you can see it with the naked eye. That's all folks, have a great week

Day 18 Transplanted today the plants into their 11L pots.😊 While instead i will let the Lemon Tree grow for another 4/5 days in the same pot because she only got 13 days, so I prefer to have it strengthened a little before the transplant. Day 24 Mimosa, Meringue, and Kmintz were Topped, Defoliated and also applied a light LST to the main stems of the plants. I will do the same for the Lemon Tree in the next 2/3 days.. I hope they have a quick recovery 🤞🏻 Day 27 LST also performed on the side branches of all plants except the Kmintz which is too small to bend its branches. Also Today we got 21 days for the Lemon Tree which has a great shape! Carried out topping, LST and a little defoliation.. 🙌🏻 In the next few days I will let them grow them without further stress. Have a great weekend gromies!! ☮️💚

This was a great experience and something I have looked forward to for 19 YEARS!!!!!! Thats right, my very first attempt was a summer when I was 14 in a backyard with mediocre results and no flower but that was my very first grow ever. 19 years later its fully legal and here I am getting 36 grams of decent bud grown by the sun in a very questionable cannabis climate!!! NO COMPLAINTS HERE!!!!!!!😋 This diary was never about getting giant buds or the best flowers but more about I'm growing ORGANIC PINEAPPLE EXPRESS IN MY BACKYARD literally a dream come true, to do this worry free, 100% legal. As far as the grow goes I will certainly have some new strategies next year, I think a plastic pot would have been better to keep the heat in at night time with the cool temps earlier on in summer. Maybe even some minor insulation would be a good idea?!?! I'll invent the canadian outdoor cannabis pot hahahah I did not scrog the lady but I did use some yoyos to pull down the outer branches to help the flowers get even light. Will try folair feeding as well next time. I also dried her outside! and trimmed her outside to, she got the full outdoor experience. I just cut the plant and hung her under the deck, worked out good as it was a fairly dry week and she dried out fairly slowly, a little quicker than the tent plants. Now in about a week or 2, maybe a small cure at least first I will be doing the end game goal, smoking endless doobies of pineapple express while watching pineapple express!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone for following along, next year I hope to double this number!! Just for the challenge 😎

Bloom has begun. I have two plants that are Sedona shorter than the other three but still very happy with each of them. There is a favorite which is in the center. I like her structure, bounce back from the heat and training. She’s absolutely lovely. I’ve also been bottom watering/feeding. They love it. The roots have creeped out from the bottom of the power pots.

Week5 the temperatures dropped a bit and I did what I could...❄️❄️ Earlier this week I had to flush this little one because I thought she had nitrogen toxicity. Maybe not... But From the water that ran out I realized that the soil was full of nuts and after the flush I didn't give it any more water. as I use a 12 liter vase, you can imagine how much water was retained in the root system. for that reason and because the water is good quality and has an amount of micronutrients, I didn't have to worry about giving water this week. let's see next week, wish me luck 🤞☺️🌞

hey all! as you can see there is only one plant left because the other one was already harvested and will be featured in the harvest weeks with the this plant that is coming up to it slowly and now i want to ask you if you think that that lady is on the top ready and at the bottom she still wants to get fatter also in the middle i see it because there is more growing and do you guys think i should cut the top buds off and just let the down/middle buds get more light for more growth? please comment below to help me a little bit out haha, happy growing all! 😎✌️💚

Had to pull this one out of the tent because i had to make room for the bigger outdoor plants🤷‍♂️🏻

Fed all four twice with half a gallon nute water, PH 6.3, day 43 and 49. Video and photos from day 50.
