The buds are actively forming, with more pistils developing each day. You can clearly see them swelling day by day. defoliation along with lollipopping was done to remove excess foliage and open up the bud sites for better light penetration.

Looking good pistils coming in but probably won’t touch it too much and prune

Many plants turn purple, buds are reaching their final size...i think they'll get more dense in the final week Switched nutes to Shogun Dragon Force, then next week only water.. It's getting very cold over here...temp peaks at 11°C at night..but that's only air temperature...i have a heating mat that keeps substrate at 20° all day Only 1 week to go

Day 8- not much action, rather just preparation. One of which is the transplant into net pots and relocation into the grow room. Also misted roots again in AM as well as propped seedlings that weren't upright and steadfast yet. Day11 - new seedling popped up yesterday, nice surprise. GZ s looking super healthy. The Raspberry Diesel has some long looking first true leaves. Well.see what they look like soon when they hit a nice growth spurt. Can hardly wait!

Big healthy plant for the most part, but the flowering just won’t kick in! This is the week that says she’s running behind or that she’s going to be on a cocaine diet till the end? Need some bulk, it’s week 8 already. I don’t like my girls fast anyways, so I’ll be a patient gent. Day 51: Early AM: It seems that the flowers are starting to fatten up at a familiar rate now. Stretch is definitely over to boot. Feels like a week or so behind my other Auto grows, but I am gathering from the peeps on GD that grow times can be all over the place with Autos; even with seeds front the same plant. I won't be a Debbie-downer, but I cant help but think what this thing would have done in a bigger space. I left her alone a couple days ago as her stretch slowed noticeably. A pluck here and there moving forward, but that's about it for the sadistic stuff. Day 51: Late Afternoon: She's about to take off in the flower it feels. 6 hours passed, and I was like "oh, hello there!" If nothing goes too crazy, I'm hoping she'll be a good one regardless of her 3.8 sf living quarters. I never did move the top shelf, so the light is less than 8 inches from the canopy. I'll keep an eye on the "crispy effect" out of complete laziness and fear of dropping the light on the plant! Tallest branches are around the perimeter and still hitting their DLI. The center/down the plant is getting blasted by the light, so I suspect about 6 or so runners to hit the canopy and hang out with the FIM family in the next week or so? Day 51: Evening: Bigger bucket = bigger plant in hydro? One heck of a root mass going on in her trough. I tried pushing the roots to the back of the bucket so I could ph without getting roots directly. Nope! That bucket is filled with roots, and its an 8 gallon bucket. I would have never thought an auto would have enough time to grow into an 8 gallon bucket. I was banking on some extra nutrient volume, so I could go out of town for 4-5 days. Hard to say on bucket size though, I have grown 10 foot tomato monsters in 3 gallon Ebb/Flow pots so maybe she would have grown the same in a 5 gallon bucket? I don't think that much root volume could grown in an 5 gallon bucket, so bigger bucket = bigger plant here? Things that make you go "hmmm..." Day 53: A lot of undesirable undergrowth that blew up during stretch. Like a ton of it, but I’m done messing with her. Took out the top shelf and reconfigured exhaust. What a pain. I didn’t drop the light but the IP cam took a nose dive on a branch. Now the light is about 12-14” from canary instead of 6-8'. She started to get some light burn so I had to do the deed. Wider IP camera view with added distance so that's a plus! Plant is very happy at 550-575ppm. 600ppm seems to be the number without burning plants? Humidity, temp, and ppm AND light distance in check. Raising the light opened the focal point of this light quite a bit; especially in the center where the PPFD was over 2500 at the center and light less than 8 inches from the canopy. Feeling good. All is in check with some room to grow. She will gain another 2" in height I presume through flower. Day 54: The jury is out of this light. I hits my dli from veg to harvest with it's fixed position design, but wondering if 50watts more would have been the number. I'm going to keep the light in there to keep the data flow congruent to its original design. I hit my DLI right now from the top of the canopy to about 10-12" down the plant. Lighter specs from my last grow, but its hard to tell what is getting what once you leave top of the canopy. Hopefully it will suffice! I moved the light a few inches closer as my DLI was getting light in some of the corners/perimeter. She right 10-11" and is about as good as she is going to get given150watts. I am realizing that 200 watt is probably the optimized wattage here if some canopy penetration is desired, but light these dimensions are not plentiful[. 250 watt and that would be max with managing heat and exhaust sound levels. 250 watt would accommodate a fix state design no problem. I hate to change the light variable but I only have the luxury of one-at-a-time grows, so everything counts on some levels. Been using the PAR meter on and off throughout the day. Penetration needs to be about 25% stronger. Its a perfect light for your average auto grow, but if these results repeat themselves a 250 watt is probably in order. I am making the executive decision to install a 250 watt bar light. I found one with a small footprint at 240watts. Hard find, specs are more than adequate for 4 sf. Will maybe get down a bit deeper but things are looking really crammed with the bottom half. It is PACKED with bud sites and likely not enough light. Questioning the light change, but will definitly thin some lower stuff and "officially" let her be. Since in bumped up the CalMag to about 1.5 ml/gal the reservoir has been running ph equilibrium for 6 days now at 600ppm. I’m guessing this deficiency was driving down ph instead of the usual up/equilibrium in week 7. My first auto to eat at 600ppm for a week with no tip burn. She looks fit, I’ll keep her diet here as the max. I have never cut MicroGro out completely in a grow before. I have been faithful to GH 7 part series since for long time. This grow I took the GH feeding chart and worked backwards to a ppm level I found on the web to be an acceptable range for Autos. These ratios have traditionally been acceptable and without issue. Beautiful plants every time. On the last two runs with this concocted feeding schedule Cal/Magic was very light until week 7, and exactly when I started to see rust spots, etc. in this grow. After a 2ml/gal dose of CaliMagic plus addbacks on watering, that issue disappeared overnight. I mean zero issues with any new or progressing growth. Here's the take away with this. Although CalMag issues are easy to spot and resolve, I did learn is that in both runs they HAD A PERSISTANT DROP IN PH IN MY RESERVOIR in late veg/tranistion. Another wards, if you PH is dropping and your ppm are not doing anything, it very well could be a CalMag deficiency. An indication know before the leaves start getting spotted, etc. I guess if one were perceptive enough, you could resolve this issue as it happens, and never see the effect on the leaves? On this current run, as soon as I dosed the bucket good with Cal/Mag and kept my add/backs a 1.5/ml/gal the PH locked in big. Going on 7 days at 600ppm, 6.0 and the ph is steadily rising. Maybe another bump in ppm. No sign of tip burn yet, why the heck not!:) Not really the expected progress this week but she may just need time. I don’t think she’ll really bulk up until the end of week 9 / week 10. New light to arrive Tuesday but not sure a stronger light will get much further down. It’s almost a roadblock to get beyond the main tops and they are getting well more than they can handle light wise. Bigger light may only mean more heat.

Hola! Antes que nada, quería pedir disculpas por no poder continuar las semanas de vegetación como correspondía, pero por cuestiones personales se me hizo imposible. Las fotos corresponden al ultimo dia de la semana 13 de la planta, el día 6/02/2021. En todo este periodo de crecimiento vegetativo realice mainlining, como muestro en la semana 5 subida, y luego deje que las dos ramas se desarrollen hasta tener 5 nudos cada una y realice en ambos extremos una poda apical, o topping. Luego, con tecnicas de LST fui torciendo las ramas para que vayan creciendo mas o menos parejas, pero al ser un cultivo outdoor obviamente esto no sucede tan prolijamente como en un indoor. Mas alla de eso, estoy contenta con el resultado: 10 ramas principales y muchas pequeñas en la vegetación. Fui haciendo defoliaciones suaves, y ahora le tocará la ultima antes de que empiece a florecer. Con respecto a esto, la planta sexó finales de enero, pero recién ahora esta comenzando a mostrar signos de que esta por empezar a florar, así que la semana que viene será la primera de flora. Esto por mas que parezca raro suele ser común por lo menos en esta region, muchas veces las plantas sexan antes y no muestran signos de comenzar a florecer hasta unas cuantas semanas después, nada que ver a como ocurre cuando uno controla el fotoperiodo. Por suerte la temporada viene siendo mas seca de lo normal, y poco lluviosa, por lo que tuve problemas con trips pocos días. En general cuando tocan veranos lluviosos se vuelve muy complicado tratar las plagas. En particular en mi patio suelo tener problemas con trips, pero no de otras plagas ya que las plantas de acompañamiento son suficiente para espantarlas. En las fotos notaran que el tronco principal esta partido en dos, esto sucedió cuando se le cayo un peso importante encima hace 4 semanas, pero con unas rápidas ataduras y la correcta nutrición la planta sano al 100%. Esto ha sido todo. Cualquier sugerencia es bienvenida. 💪 Saludos!! 😘

dont know why but Jack 2 seem doped, she is 126 cm Height and her sister jack 1 is just 50-55 cm height, they seem to have many bud sites and react very well to the env, where i live is very hot now, so im using ac fulltime since a week. If you wanna give me some tips or advice pls do it, anything is welcome, i wanna just learn since i just love this plant

Harter ritt diese Dame , alles viel zu schwer das es gleich umknickte beim defolieren . Hab mal ein getrockneten Bud aus der mitte genommen und Trichom analyse (Videos und Bilder) gemacht . ja viel klar wenig milchig und einige rot . Ergo , zuviel Licht an der Spitze (abstand zum licht viel zu gering) und im Boden zu kalt ist keine gute Kombination .

Just wanna smoke! Smells amazing, now is getting real started, buds are juice and shines like a star 😍 I think my buds is a little thigth and close to each other, I tried to use some rubber band but ended up trimming some leaf. I'm not sure about fan leaf and they you need, but if they are covering building buds I take them. Have some more weeks before havrest, when I have 2 weeks left I'm going to use terra aquatica Final Part 🙏 Happy grow bro

She is almost there as most trichomes are cloudy. One more week on nuts then one week flush and harvest time. Should be enjoyable harvest as the plant is quite small but pack so I will trim it on the plant 😁

Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants are filling up more and the first pistils start to get brown, which shows the plants start to ripen and go towards harvest time. The smell they exude is STRONG now and VERY PLEASANT. The aroma is sweet, peachy with sandalwood undertones and is MOUTH-WATERING. The plants are TRICHOME MONSTERS and are covered in crystals, any little touch and your fingers stay sticky for hours.

Servus Moin! Die Purple Punch kann sich echt zeigen lassen, obwohl sie ein paar Zwitter Anzeichen durch Stress hatte. Die Buds sind richtig mächtig und fest geworden.
