Finally have the gnats under control!!! Using a combination of beneficial bacteria, neem oil, and organic pesticides. They’re still there but only a couple so I will continue use. Skywalker og is still double the size of all the others and drinks double the water so that is crazy idk how to deal with that I might just start watering it in between watering the other ones idk it’s crazy. Also don’t know how long we’re gonna go with this veg I want to do a pound which is ambitious for a second grow with a 300w light in a 2 x 4 but that would be cool. Looking good tho next grow I’m only gonna do 3 strains instead of 4 or even 2 but we’ll see. Went a little too heavy on the nitrogen I think i dialed it back a bit but plants are healthy and strong I think the silica helps a lot.

Wow what a week this has been, the plants have all undergone fair dramatic changes. A real flurry of leaf yellowing, pistil darkening/curling, and bug swelling. The smell is really coming along now, I think we're really quite close to harvest. On the assumption that pre-flowering was two weeks, this strain should be ready at the end of week seven flowering, so in the case of this diary the end of week nine (i.e. one week to go!). Pistils are about 70-80% amber, and the lower pistils on buds have started curling inward. Trichomes look to me to be something like 10% clear 80% Milky 10% White. I have smoke tested a small bud off the lower part of plant 3 today after quick-drying overnight in the airing cupboard, taking into consideration the obvious chlorophyll from the fast dry, the high was much closer to what I am expecting than the last smoke test. It came on at the normal pace, was quite effective, and lasted a good while. I am really hoping I can navigate my way through the next process, as I feel quite close now to having some home grown bud for the first time. The plants are being well watered this evening with just water, and this will be the last time that I water them until harvest. I will continue to monitor these daily, I intend to harvest at the first sign of any amber trichome. Advice and comments welcomed. P.S. Exciting news! My order from Green House Seeds arrived today for my next diaries! :)

Feb 27 I changed the light cycle to 18/6 a few days ago and surprisingly have seen the plants perking during sleep. Orange Sherbet is growing really quickly, I'm going to start Low Stress Training here soon to get these other stems some light.

For a plant that was only topped once, her structure looks really good. The training clips have definitely helped open her up and shape her just right. She’s healthy, vibrant, and showing no deficiencies. I’ll be flipping her to flower this week and can’t wait to see how she performs once she starts stacking. Feeding 1.7 L Athena nutrient mix (will increase gradually if needed). Indoor Climate Conditions Temperature: 18–23°C Humidity: 60–65% VPD: ~0.5–0.8 kPa See y’all next week!

Hi to all friends of the green leaf, So, the move to the big tent went well, you can see the strawberries like the space, they started to expand immediately. Today I gave them one last "big" training, they are all starting to bloom nicely. Oh, and lest I forget, for the first time I'm experimenting with adding CO2, I used the normal fermentation process, using yeast, sugar and water. I mixed it all up in a bottle, made a hole in the cap for the tubing, and placed the end of the tubing in a circulation fan. So, have a nice time and keep it growing ! Peace✌️

Day 85 - We're into a new week! She's still got a way to go yet, but she's putting on mass like no other plant I've grown. Her colas, as you can see in one of the pics from last week, are bigger than gallon jugs. The whole plant is top heavy and I have to be extra careful when pulling her lid to the side to feed her. Her mass is getting wider as well, from the sheer weight of her colas. She's drinking about a gallon a day and showing no signs of letting up. Day 91 - End of week 13! - She's not done yet, but getting there. Upkeep is pretty much just dumping a gallon of new feed into her every two days or so. I'm pretty excited to see what her yield is at this point, because lifting her out to refill her actually take a bit of muscling.

143gr for the Larger pheno and 97 for the shorter, very respectable yield in total for 3 Wk Veg. Total 240gr even they each had 1.5’x1.5’ of space. Big yielder, buds are 10/10 & very easy to grow . Could be prone to mold in an uncontrolled environment.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 8 with our majestic Big Cheese Auto is like stepping into a festive wonderland, and the excitement is reaching its crescendo. A colossal shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting. Our green queen is dancing through her fourth week of flowering, and oh my, what a spectacle! It's like she's transformed into a true monster bush, embracing the Christmas tree structure with open arms. The Autopot system continues to be the backstage pass, allowing her to sip on a nutrient feast with grace. It's like the VIP treatment for a botanical masterpiece. Nutrient Maestros: P-Boost, Topbooster, and now, the latest addition, K-Boost, continue their nutrient symphony. It's like the Three Tenors of the botanical world, creating a harmonious bloom with organic nitrogen, L-amino acids, trace elements, and maturation magic. The anticipation for those colossal, aromatic buds is now heightened by the maturation finesse brought by K-Boost. Ah, the sweet scent of success! The aroma has started to unveil itself, a tantalizing mystery that accompanies the vast trichome production. It's like the plant's way of whispering secrets of the flavors that await. The olfactory journey has begun, and I'm eagerly anticipating the unveiling of this aromatic masterpiece. Our TDS is maintaining its robust 420 , and the pH, a symphony at 6.0. The Autopot and the nutrient trio are now conducting an orchestra of botanical brilliance. It's like a green harmony that resonates through every leaf and bud. Our Christmas tree is getting its final touches. The leaf-bending spectacle continues, creating an even canopy that basks in the natural light. Defoliation is a delicate grooming session, ensuring every bud gets its moment in the spotlight. It's like preparing for the grand finale of this floral extravaganza. A colossal thank you to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and the incredible community. Your support is the heartbeat of this flourishing green odyssey. As we step into the next week, the excitement is palpable. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's evolving into a botanical marvel.

Week 5 and it's all good. Day #32 Watered with just 0,5 ml/l of Fish Mix. I used it to spray on the leaves too. One of the 5 clones died because one night I removed the cap: just don't, is way too early. These days are rainy so drying time is slow. I'm going to switch to Bio Grow and setting 12/12 light schedule in the next 5 days. Day #34 Not deep watering yet, just sprayed leaves with Fish Mix then both mothers with a sip of leftover solution for each. The clones that I took just as a try seems to be healty. I don't know what to do with them :) Day #35 Watering deep with pasta water with BioGrow in. Defoliated a bit. Day #36 I see some slight curling and yellow tip on a mother plant so next round I'll water with just a bit of magnesium.

Going into flowering is always a special moment and we prepare to do it in the best way to make the plant understand that it is time to become a woman and speed up the start of the formation of buds. We start with 24 hours of darkness this to give a strong break and sign of change to the plant that understands the change of time and prepares to go into flowering. Our Jet Fuel was worked with a topping x16 buds that worked really well, we have some branches growing a little sparsely, not perfectly aligned but I bet it will be very beautiful everything seems in great shape now. Another thing that gives the plant the signal of the start of flowering are the flowering stimulators we friends of Plagron use Power Buds. The start of the flowering program includes the same additives as the vegetative phase Power Roots, Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and adds the flowering stimulant Power Buds. Now the basic fertilizer is Alga Bloom specific for flowering. The shape is very very beautiful as the structure of this plant, I definitely love plants with short internodal distance. Elegant, to see, to photograph, to grow. Green Sensation will arrive as the hero of the end of flowering and at the same time it will be time to remove Power Roots and a week later the Pure Zym enzymes. It is recommended from the 4th week, if the plants flower fast I start at the 3rd depending on the size of the bud. Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11258-zamnesia-seeds-jet-fuel.html Zamnesia Description // Jet Fuel (also known as G6, Jet Fuel OG, and G6 Kush) is a modern hybrid rich in THC and terpenes with a diesel aroma. Originally created in Colorado by crossing Diesel with Aspen OG, this 60% sativa-dominant hybrid is a must-have for any smoker who enjoys an uplifting and energizing high. Now, thanks to the hard work of our breeders, the original Jet Fuel is even easier to grow at home. Order your seeds, plant them in soil, and enjoy their rapid growth. After just 9–10 weeks of flowering, you can expect a generous harvest of premium sativa buds! All the best that mother nature can offer is on —— www.zamnesia.com

Her first week above ground! I didn't do a very good job with this strain last time 😏 Lets see what happens this time.

7 weeks now she’s a real beauty this lemon, plenty of bud sites on her now as she’s just coming into flowering now think this one might be a late bloomer!! Hope you enjoy the pics 🍋🏝️Just had my ACL reattached so might struggle to keep up with my diaries 😪🤞

Not much to update. Buds stacking nicely.

Started to cover the entire greenhouse in a bag of foil every night in order to flip to flowering, starting with 48 hours of darkness. Also did some defoliation to let through more light.

Noticed a lot of new growth all the girl are responding to their feelings well, everything still looks great!

Start of Week 4 begins tomorrow, unfortunately I'll be out of town. I've been removing branches, but in the last 3 or so days I've stopped removal. It's time for these girls to really start stacking. ran out of potassium silicate. Will be continuing with out it for the rest of the grow. Started to notice a slight smell when leaving the door open and returning after a few minutes. This started in the last couple days

On the 20th she was pruned clipped and flipped 👍💯😁 Starting to fill back in nicely!

Hi people! Yes! I transplanted it into a 35 liter pot! and switched to flowering mode 12-12 .. The plant is just huge! this photo was taken immediately after transplanting and LSTb, so the plant is a little sad .. but you can still estimate how well it is developed and healthy .. next week it will appear before you in its full glory!

Dutch Passion Seeds Critical Orange Punch Auto Day 31 from Germination 10th March 2020 She's really put on some leaf and branch growth over this past week and is still not quite at the flowering stage yet. But I feel she will be throwing out pistils and starting to stretch by next weeks update, well I hope so anyway 😄 Still giving her light supplemental feeds of Professors Nutrients Grow fast and Seaweed solution, both of which seem to be keeping her healthy and vigorous. Yesterday and Today I have had her out of the tent and out under the natural sunshine and Fresh air. I will continue to do it each day as long as the weather stays fine as I think the use of LEDs and Sunshine each day certainly coudn't hurt . Checked soil temp and Ph this morning it was 22c and 6.5 so everythings on point and no issues i can see Thats about it for the C.O.P Auto update for this week Thanks for stopping by 👍
