We're expecting a scorching summer here in northwestern Europe, so I figured I'd try my luck with a small outdoor run 😎 I received several free seeds from Fast Buds, so I decided to pop a 1-pack of Strawberry Gorilla. I picked up a small €20 greenhouse and went with a fabric pot filled with a homemade garden mix: 70% orchid potting mix, 15% clay pebbles, and 15% all-purpose potting soil. Germination in a peat pellet only took 3 days. That small layer of inert peat will act as a buffer between the seedling and the substrate during the first couple of weeks. For now, she's getting nothing but plain water with a little Voodoo. So far, she seems to be adapting really well. After the first 7 days, I haven't seen any signs of early nutrient burn. For pest control, I'm keeping things nature-based: companion planting with cherry tomatoes and basil, both of which help repel different kinds of pests. And of course, a few sticky traps for the more adventurous visitors 😏

Die Green Crack F1 Auto zeigt sich bisher als echtes Kraftpaket. Sie wächst zwar etwas wilder als ihre Nachbarinnen, aber genau das scheint zu ihrem Charakter zu gehören. Normalerweise steht sie etwas geschützter als im Video, trotzdem sieht man gut, wie problemlos sie mit Wind und Wetter zurechtkommt. Die Triebe werden von Woche zu Woche kräftiger und die gesamte Pflanze wirkt erstaunlich stabil. Das einmalige Toppen hat ihr sichtlich gutgetan. Sie bleibt dadurch etwas kompakter, baut aber eine schöne breite Struktur auf und scheint ihre Energie lieber in stabile Seitentriebe als in unnötige Höhe zu stecken. Gerade Outdoor kann das später ein echter Vorteil sein, wenn die Buds schwer werden.Außerdem macht sie dadurch einen deutlich transportableren Eindruck. Wer seine Pflanzen bei Gewitter, Hagel oder anderen Wetterkapriolen mal schnell umparken muss, weiß das durchaus zu schätzen. Bisher macht die Green Crack F1 Auto jedenfalls genau das, was man sich von einer Outdoor-Pflanze wünscht. Robust, unkompliziert und immer mit einem kleinen Hauch von Chaos. 💪

. 🌱 : LST and defoliation on day 49 💧 : 4l day 53, no pk13/14, 4l day 55 💡 : Dli: 40 mol/m²/d 🤔 : After optimizing many things, I suspect that I'm adding pk 13/14 too early, which then leads to a magnesium deficiency due to too much potassium from pk 13/14 and calcium from the tap water (16.1°dH, calcium 80.8 mg/l, magnesium 21.0 mg/l).

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

the plant is not looking good, as you can see. The bleaching on the leaves, I think it's light stress. If you have any ideas let me know in the comments. I'm sure it will pull through and perk up soon. It's a little odd, but let's see what I can do. Here's what I did this week. 11.7.25: I watered with 1ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 containing the following nutrients; 💜 1ml Ecothrive Trace 💜 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 400 14.7.25; I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; 💜 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 373 16.7.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 and the following nutrients; 💜 1.5ml Ecothrive Trace 💜 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.5 PPM: 363 As always thanks for stopping in this week, and let me know what you think about the bleaching 😊💚✌️🍃🤞

03/13/2021 Side branches are developing nice, I may do a little more lst to help lower tops to catch up before flowering starts Ps. Couple videos uploaded Day #6 doing some bending, and broke a branch off so I dipped in rooting powder,threw it in some vermiculite soaked with Bonide Garden Rich Root & Grow 4-10-3 with (IBA) Lets see if she will root! Fingers crossed🙏

Hey guys and gals. Busy week in the tent!! Set up some more lights to help with flowering. Defoliated the girls again, it’s going to be an I’m going process. Ran into some fungus gnats, so that’s fun. Mixed up a peroxide water solution and set up some sticky traps. If anyone has any other solutions I’m all ears Other then that the tent is packed, they have been switched to more of a bloom feeding schedule and laying off the nitrogen for flower. The training done early in the plants life is really starting to show it’s benefits. Lots of work but totally worth it. Well until next week. Happy growing

This week is going great. Transplanted the ladies into their 7 gal pots, amended with Gaia Green. They are doing good after being transplanted.

It's been a pretty good week. I did quite a big defoliation, as things were getting crowded. I switched to a more flowering dominant feeding, I decreased the Nitrogen and pumped up the phosphorus and potassium. I will soon do a flush, as it looks like the nuts are starting to accumulate at the roots.

Week 2 underway and she's developing accordingly. Everything is in the soil so we continue to just let her sip from the reservoir thru the wicks. I'm still misting the top of the soil to make sure she's getting enough to drink.

To finish the cycle, I left the plants in complete darkness for the last 3 days, combined with low temperatures to enhance color, resin production, and terpene expression. This final stress pushed maturity and brought out beautiful tones — especially noticeable in the pink pheno and frostier colas. Plants were then harvested on April 11, 2024, after 66 days of flowering.

Started one seed of Cherry Bomb popped in 48 hours. The seedling took off from there. I just used tap water and paper towel to germinate. We are at 7 days today, and she is looking good. Picked up a 32x32x63 tent for this grow. Currently I have her in my aero garden which has done wonders for me, and my hydro set up. As she grows I will move her into a 5 gal bucket for hydro. We will use a 450w viparspectra LED for this grow. I am using a small amount of nutes in the reservoir, as always I am using general hrdroponics flora trio cal mag, and silica.

We have more autos from Ganja farmer seeds started today. I sowed them directly into the soil. The hydroponic ebb and flow system I am using this round is new and is called AirCube from growace. If your interested in looking for more info on it here's a link to there website 👇 https://growace.com/?rfsn=7577242.b784c7&utm_ source=refersion&utm_ medium=affiliate&utm_ campaign=7577242.b784c7 This will cut out my automatic watering and help bring more oxygen to the roots while still maintaining a fully organic grow.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 1 since time change to 12/12 h. Hi guys :-) . The time has finally come 👍 You have been switched to 12/12 hrs and are ready to flower. Of course, cuttings were cut beforehand to keep the genetics. For 4 days now she has also been getting Fast Buds from GreenBuzzLiquids. They were also sprayed again with GBL Fast Plant spray. She is very healthy and I am excited to see how she gets going again in bloom :-). This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l each time (for nutrients, see nutrient table above). Then I filled canisters with fresh osmosis water for the next few weeks 👍. The tent was cleaned and every plant was checked for health. At the moment I am tinkering with the ventilation because there are currently 4 fans with 4 activated carbon filters running, which I want to make more efficient by putting a hose through 2 tents. These are the things about which you desperately at the beginning but learned from them in the end. I wish you all a nice week.
