Hi fellow growers, another week and a half has passed so this diary update is a bit over due. As i said in my last update that i was growing on 24 hours of light and thinking about switching them to 18-6, right after writing last weeks diary i made the switch to 18-6 and left it for the past week and a half and that made a huge difference in growth the plants where nice and bushy from the 24 hours of light and they are now stretching towards the light just like we want to see yesterday i made the switch to 12-12 so the next update will be in flowering fase. The day before i made the switch to 18-6 we topped the plants and did a little defoliation but that is hardley noticable in the pictures i added because the new fan leaves developed quick and now they are nice and bushy again, enough leaf surface to take in a lot of light. I think i will be taking out my scrog net somewhere in the next week or so to train them a little but no full on scrog. lighting is now on full power 330 watts full spectrum but is still hanging on 50 cm above the canopy. I give them a little more water every day they get half a liter with hy-pro nutes and rootbastic (the amount added is in the nutes section above) That is all for now. Cheers, Nibameca

Hola 🐴 Skipped one week because nothing happened that much. Soil i replanted it was pretty low on nutes and suffered a bit deficiency. Watered only with water after replanting. Now it had 4l of 1.7ec and it looks great. One or two weeks more before bloom. 4 Sisters still hanging at corners but not for long time. And for Hologram i made video about LST. not about how much at the time. Weekly a bit is good. Thats why easily adjustable ties are godlike thing. And PATIENCY. With High Hopes 🍀

Start of week 4 of flower. Was gone last week and she drank 10 of the 12 liters of water, whoops! Nute solution was pretty concentrated after that and very slight signs of nute burn, but considering the ppm was doubled and she handled it well led me to trust she can handle full strength (instead of 3/4). Gone again this week but got a plant sitter to make sure she doesn’t need any res adjustments. Pistils are insane! Looks like a carpet been almost lol. Smell isn’t too bad which is why I chose this strain, so far very happy

Tropicana had to go back indoor because the temperature outside is the opposite of tropical. I took off two leafs and gave her time to relax after. Everything is fine and I can already smell something when I‘m near to her. 🤭☺️ Where is the sun? Preparing for sun storm!

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

Looks like the streching is just about done. some nice buds are forming all over but i cant really tell if it will be verry productive yet. The flowers seem somewhat dense, that is a nice change fron the usual airy buds. I am feeding acording to a chart i found... But i dont think i will go above what i am giving now. The plan now is to feed at this rate till second to last week, then lower the amount of nutrients before flushing for the last week. Any input or comments are welcome. Things i should do aswell as things i should not.

13 ounces wet weight! Which is amazing for one auto. She grew like an absolute champ and bud sites were plentiful and filled in beautiful. Nice dense nugs and extremely pugent diesel smell which is great for the aply named Sour Diesel strain. Sticky and stinky, looking forward to the dry bud, should be around 3.5 ounces all said and done. Best autoflower to date.

Plant A (left side) started pushing through the medium first after 48 hours. Plant B germinated successfully at 96hrs but due to cold climate and moisture in the seed the seed got too cold and turned to mush. At 96hrs Plant A had reached 1.25" and had started to spread the first set of leaves. It is now approximately 2" tall and the first fan leaves are about 1/3" long. Growth is steady and effortless for this girl. So far the self watering set up, grow light, and medium have been treating plant A great. After 60hrs she became fully exposed. Plant B germinated as stated before and died, Plant C was planted 5 days into the germination week of Plant A. No pre-soak, just dry seeds dropped directly into the medium. Miracle Grow myth has so far been proven wrong (performance organics, not regular potting soil). In addition to the set up, I found a water bottle diffuser I have on a 6hr rotation (6 on and 6 off) that I found for $9USD at a grocery outlet. Humidity now steady at 31% on the gauge and about 65% Relative Humidity. Temps sit steady around 68-71°F. Shooting for 360g or 180g from each plant utilizing LST. We are seeing if organic miracle grow has enough nutes for an autoflower, with 3 months of nutrients as stated from the bag it should end up timing out perfectly for harvest time with no flushing needed as nutrients will already be used up.

First ever harvest! Plant #2 has been covered in trichomes for the last two weeks and with a jeweler's magnifying glass and my camera phone zooming 7x it's clear that many of trichomes have turned amber. I chopped her down last night and have been hanging the branches upside down in a cardboard box with a fan and dehumidifier. I've read I should keep the temperature in the 70s F and the humidity around 50%. I'm doing my best but the garage isn't well insulated so I'm at the mercy of the weather. I'll keep an eye on them and when the branches snap easily I'll get them in jars for curing. Plant #1 still has some time to go. The branches are filling out but to the naked eye there are no trichomes. When I look with the magnifying glass I can see them but I'm concerned that #2 had been coated in them for about two weeks now. Should I just wait? I think I'll just wait

Week 4 – Flowering (Day 22–28) 🌸🌱 At the end of Week 3 (Day 21) we carried out a deeper round of defoliation and some lollipopping. By now the stretch is coming to an end, with the plants settling close to their final height. We’ve also stopped foliar feeding, since every single plant is now covered in developing buds. To keep everything protected, we refreshed the beneficial insects, better be safe than sorry, how we say in German, sicher ist sicher. Already in this early stage of flowering, we can clearly spot differences in structure, bud formation and even the first aromas. Some phenos are showing exceptional promise — those will be the ones we’ll highlight more in the coming updates. 🔎 Pheno notes so far: PG 34 – balanced structure, well-developed branching, consistent stacking. PG 52 – dense flower set, compact top formation. Pink Gelato stands out for its sweet candy-like fruit aroma, paired with symmetry and early bud quality.

well the bud spots are well defined the Black lebanon and the BBMoonrocks are strong plant they can handle heat and dry time to start slowly dropping my RH and in 2 weeks start dopping temps to 65 at night. I see a lot of differences between Autos and Photos this like eveything will get better I belive this will be a decent grow but there are things I could do better My next grow will be featuring the Super Sativa Seed Club Tangie chemdawg a sneak peek into 23 and along with that I will be doing a Bruce lemon Diesel I expect a quicker veg and about a week or two long flower I also have the new Purple Punch Auto in a smalle tent. I did a final thinning out today so all I can do is water and feed. this is by far the most pristine gow I have had I owe that to SSSC genetics , Living soil , and Geoflora I will also add a few new surpises on my next grow well I hope they are done growing I had my runt Bust lose on the stretch and had no place to tie them down how ever ever bud is getting plenty light now I can spend the next 4 weeks watching them get fat and stinky
