🌱 Week 2 – Vegetative Growth 09/27: Started the day noticing chlorosis on some leaves. The pattern matches an iron deficiency: interveinal chlorosis mainly on the newer leaves. After checking, this seems to be caused by a nutrient lockout, consistent with the high substrate pH since the beginning of the grow. Lesson learned for next time. Performed a heavy flush with 20 L of water per plant. Runoff dropped from EC 1200 → 500 and pH 7.1 → 6.7. From now on, I’ll water with enough solution to get ~20% runoff each time instead of just ~250 ml. Will also lower input pH to 5.6–5.7 to gradually bring substrate pH down into range. Noticed that some plants have started to give off a light smell 🌿. 09/28: Each plant watered with 1 L at pH 5.6, EC 950. Solution included 3 ml/L CalMag + 0.8 ml/L Coco A + 0.8 ml/L Coco B + 1 ml/L Deeper Underground. Runoff EC not measured (since heavy flush was done yesterday). Runoff pH still unchanged, same as yesterday (~6.7). Yesterday I lowered the light, today increased it back to 13.5k lux. Chlorosis is still advancing, hoping successive irrigations will help bring substrate pH down. 09/29: Watered again but with 500ml this time. Solution (same recipe as yesterday) at pH 5.6. Surprisingly, runoff pH rose higher than yesterday, now at 7.0, with EC 700. Light intensity increased to 14.5k lux. 09/30: Watered with 500 ml at pH 5.6, EC 1050. Solution included 3 ml/L CalMag (new bottle — seems to add more EC than the old one) + 1 ml/L Coco A + 1 ml/L Coco B + 1 ml/L Deeper Underground. Runoff measured EC 700–800, pH 7.0. Since the flush, stems have thickened significantly 💪. 10/01: Watered with 1 L at pH 5.6, EC 1200. Solution included 2.5 ml/L CalMag + 1 ml/L Coco A + 1 ml/L Coco B + 1 ml/L Deeper Underground. Runoff measured EC 650, pH 7.0. Substrate pH still not dropping, but plants are growing at a good pace. Only two plants continue to show chlorosis, while all show a noticeable thickening of stems this week. 10/02: Significant vertical growth observed — most plants stretched about 8 cm in the last 3 days. Watered again with the same solution as yesterday, but only 500 ml per plant. Input pH 5.6, runoff pH still at 7.0, EC 600–700. Chlorosis persists, and on one plant with symptoms, small brown spots appeared, suggesting a possible manganese deficiency. Also noticed what look like early pre-flowers (tiny pistils) on two plants, though it feels early for day 20. 10/03: Watered with the same solution as previous days (pH 5.6, EC 1200). Runoff remained stable at pH 7.0, EC ~600–700. Based on uptake, I plan to progressively raise input EC until EC in ≈ EC out. Gradually increasing VPD range, target for Week 3 is 1.0–1.2 kPa. --- 📝 Week 2 Summary 🚩 Main challenge: persistent high runoff pH (~7.0) causing chlorosis, initially resembling iron deficiency but later showing signs closer to manganese deficiency (brown spotting). Heavy flush reduced EC, but pH correction is progressing slowly. Plants responded with strong stem thickening and rapid vertical growth (+8 cm in 3 days). Aroma starting to appear on some plants 🌿. ⚡ Light stabilized around 14–15k lux, with adjustments to avoid stress. 🌱 Despite issues, most plants are vigorous, only 2 showing stronger deficiency symptoms. ➡️ Plan for Week 3 Irrigation: Increase input EC gradually until it balances with runoff (~EC in = EC out). Maintain runoff at ~20% each watering. pH management: Keep input pH at 5.6–5.7 to push substrate down from current ~7.0. VPD: Raise target range to 1.0–1.2 kPa for optimal transpiration. Light: Hold intensity ~14.5k lux, slight increases only if no stress observed. Monitoring: Track chlorosis spots closely — see if new growth improves once substrate stabilizes. Pre-flowers: Keep observing possible pistils.

🇩🇪RS11B – Update 🍃 Die RS11B entwickelt sich aktuell solide und hat sich gut vom Stress durch Training und Umzug ins 1x1 erholt. Heute gab’s pH-reguliertes Wasser + CalMag, erstmal bewusst ohne zusätzlichen Dünger. Das Training wurde weitergeführt, Triebe neu runtergebunden und die Fläche gleichmäßiger verteilt. Die neuen Tops kommen sauber nach oben und die Struktur passt. Im Vergleich zur C-Variante (trotz knapp einer Woche Unterschied) bleibt die B deutlich kompakter, während die C größer wächst – allerdings ohne dass die B im Wachstum eingeschränkt wirkt. Zwei klar unterschiedliche Wuchsformen. Bin gespannt, wie sie sich Richtung Blüte entwickelt. 🇬🇧RS11B – Update 🍃 RS11B is developing nicely and has recovered well from the recent stress (training + move into the 1x1 tent). Today she got pH-adjusted water + CalMag, no additional nutrients this time. Training was continued, branches tied down again to improve canopy distribution. New tops are coming up evenly and the structure is looking clean. Compared to the C-variant (despite about a one-week difference), the B stays noticeably more compact, while the C grows bigger — without the B showing any signs of reduced growth. Two clearly different growth patterns. Curious to see how she performs heading into flower.

Start of Day 8-02/08/22 we are off to good start gonna start giving them some root juice this week maybe tomorrow. They are looking good

Day 30. Girls will get heavy feed in a sec. They recovered well from mini lolitoping session. Made mini upgrade in Grow room. All 3 quantum boards are now on one platform. Plus i ordered 2 month ago led strips from China, so even with 3M tape ( what i don't believe was original 3M ) they just didn't glue properly and after 2 days fell off. Plus its not even close to grow light, no power at all. Guess its my most stupidly spent 15 quid in all grow career. Wanted some mini red boost for flower, but ill just take them down. Girls grow really nice, some are stretched , some are a bit dwarfy. But in general all good, no female or hermie signs tho. Left 3 or 4 nods at that time, all lower part was cleaned with razor.. Didnt use any prevention, but girls healed well. Think flower not far away too.... Day 30 . EDIT : Girls are showing sex, so flowering started ? !!!! ;) Day 32. Girls loved heavy feed, all stretching and flowering. Some strains are obviously smaller than others, will be fun to guess what is what ;))) Can't wait to give all tent to them, autos are on the end stretch. 3 more weeks max and all tent will be pure bag seed go ;) Happy Growing !

day 73 I was not ready for all this! 🤣🤣 they literally exploded and I started seeing purple on these buds I had to tie them up so the weight of the flowers didn't break the branches. compared to El Patron that I also have in my tent, Purple is much fatter and shorter. they have a very sweet scent and I can't wait to taste it, but alas I will go there a little longer. I have to say that 6 photoperiods are too many for my 1m x 1m x 2m tent. in addition to this I have noticed that they are very hungry. like me and give me some advice. thanks for stopping by, have a nice day and happy cultivation

3. Woche Wachstum startet wieder tip-top, Fatty ist gesund und munter und wächst wie wild 😁. 19. Tag Wurde bisschen entlaubt, nur unten 4 Fächerblätter. Oben die großen soweit möglich unter die Seitentriebe gebogen.

Hate to say it but these Rockstar Clones are outgrowing my seeded plants rite now. When I did the leaf strip they both had fan leafs as big as my hand. Just massive. I'm excited to see how well they both bud. So far it's looking good. Happy growing.

Vyzerajú pripravené na kvet🤪ešte 1 týždeň ,myslím🤔🤔

I think the harvest is just around the corner here too. I'll give them another week at most, but I think they'll be ready to be cut down in the next few days.

Du beau temp en général j’arrose après chaque jour ensoleillé J’ai attacher les grosses branches susceptibles de briser

Nothing much is happening this week. The weather has been brilliant. Lots of sunshine. It’s grown a good 10 cm and looks healthy. Maybe I’ll do a bit LST on her.

She's doing very well so far,smells super nice,definitely I'll grow more autos by gea seeds,I had the pleasure to grow autos by this awesome seedbank and can't wait to grow more of them,never let me down,let's see how she ends up.💚💛❤️🌱

3ème semaine de fruits ajout d'un fillet.

Grows perfectly and well💚💪

Bottom left I forgot I mixed with coco as I didnt have enough livingsoil left to fill the pot. Showing some signs of fading but giving it a dose of biobizz tonight and 50g 2 8 10 amendment to each. Watering 2L each every 2days still.

Week 11 has been exactly the same as week 10. There has been some light yellowing one Girl #1 and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. The colas aren’t very dense. Girl#1 has been doing some weird fox tailing on all the colas.My temperatures haven’t been over 77 and my humidity hasn’t been over 55. I have seen this before in other diaries with other stains. Guess that’s just comes with the territory of ruderalis crossed strains. Can’t really complain cause this is my first rodeo with Autos so I’m just happy to have this experience. I officially think the delayed Pineapple Express auto might not even have the autoflower trait. It’s been 11 weeks and she hasn’t showed the slightest chance of ever flowering. This is really frustrating and deflating. I’m gonna definitely have to put this girl into 12-12. That will have to be after girl #1 is finished. I’m very appreciative of all who show your continued support and give insightful infomation. Can’t wait to see what this harvest will be. This is my first official auto grow. I wouldn’t change it at all. Thank you all for your support and time. More to come soon 💚👊
