Day 7: I removed the small Royal Jack Auto, since it hadn't shown any growth in the past 48 hours, and I'm germinating a new seed for the tent today. The remaining plants look robust and are growing fast. For now they're getting plain water only, and I'll water again mid-week. Next week I'll add a little nitrogen, some micronutrients and a drop of Supervit. The light is 35 cm above the canopy. It's a dimmable Mars Hydro, currently set at around 30โ€“35%, so every plant gets roughly the same amount of light. Below is a conversion Gemini gave me. Lighting data (Day 7) - Lamp: Mars Hydro TS2000 - Height: 35 cm above the plant tops - Dimmer: 30โ€“35% - Foot-candles: 940โ€“1,100 FC - Lux: 10,114โ€“11,836 lux - PPFD: 151โ€“176 ฮผmol/mยฒ/s I'll wait until every plant has its third set of leaves before raising the power to around 40โ€“45%. My usual light schedule for autoflowers: - Days 9โ€“14 (early veg, third leaf set): 40% dimmer, about 200โ€“250 PPFD - Days 15โ€“21 (mid veg, multiple nodes): 50โ€“60% dimmer, about 350โ€“450 PPFD - Days 22โ€“28 (late veg, pre-flower): 70โ€“80% dimmer, about 550โ€“650 PPFD - Flowering (week 5 onward): 100%, about 700โ€“900+ PPFD Day 8: Thick, short stems with no stretching, and the second set of true leaves is fully formed. Day 9: 150 ml of water each, poured in a ring 6โ€“7 cm from the stem. Day 10: The third and fourth sets of leaves are coming in strong. The structure is very compact and the leaves are a healthy, firm green. I gave each plant a single drop of Supervit. I plan to raise the dimmer to about 40% in the next day or two, depending on how the Royal Jack develops. I'll also raise the lamp a little, because the plants are getting taller and I don't want the new seedling to struggle right under it. Day 11: The replacement Royal Jack seed germinated today. The two Atlas are compact, with short internodes and no stretching. The Royal Jack is a little smaller, with narrower, slightly darker leaves, but it looks healthy. Day 12: I raised the lamp a few centimetres and set the dimmer to 40%. The replacement Royal Jack went into its 11 L pot, watered around the plug with Easy Root bacteria, under a cut-bottle dome to keep the humidity up. The larger plants are starting to push side branches. Day 13: No stress from the jump to 40%. The Atlas leaves are wide and well spread, with new side shoots at the nodes. The Royal Jack has put out a new set of leaves and is growing day by day, just more slowly than the Atlas. The replacement's cotyledons are open and healthy. Day 14: Today the three larger plants (2x Atlas F1 Auto, 1x Royal Jack Auto) got their first feed, RQS Easy Grow plus Easy Plus, at 30% of the recommended dose. The Easy Grow tablet is 3 g for 10 L of water, so I used 0.06 g in 0.7 L: about 260 ml for each Atlas and 160 ml for the Royal Jack, poured around the edge of the canopy rather than at the stem. I'm starting low on purpose: you can always add more nutrients later, but you can't take them out. There's also already 50 g of Easy Boost mixed into the soil. With autoflowers I always use bottled water during veg. The water I drink has a perfect pH of 6.3, but it's low in calcium and magnesium, which is why I've already added some Easy Plus. The last plain watering was on day 9 (150 ml each). All three look healthy and compact, with no stretching. The replacement Royal Jack stays under its dome until its first true leaves appear. The light is at 40%, about 40 cm above the plants. Next step is 50% for days 15โ€“21.

Another week went by so fast! Her buds are developing nicely, becoming more colorful and much thicker. After each defoliation we are discovering more and more buds that were growing beneath the leaves. The numerous trichomes turn into milky, little bubbleheads. I really adore the look of her buds this close; the colors, as well as the overall look is just stunning! Topdressed her with worm castings (Plagron.-Mega Worm) for supplementary nutrients. Additionally watering with pure water to balance out the nutrient level within the plant. Also added some SF nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) to resolve our issue with fungus gnats.

(Update: 4/20/19) Please stand by while they dry. (Update Everything is going great though! The smell is very strong now; no more cut grass smell. From looking at all three today, I believe that some of the smaller branches will be done drying and ready for trimming and weighing in a day or two. I have one guess for dry weight of Big Lemon, any other guesses?? Remember, the picture of Big Lemon hang drying looks like its two plants, but its all Big Lemon; I had to cut it off to be able to hang it. The amputated branch left of the main plant is bigger than my other two plants alone! (Update 5/2/19) Woah...Okay. So after drying the whole for about nine days, and trimming for four days, Big Lemon's dry weight SO FAR is about 430ish grams of super dense and sticky nugs. Its amazing that I got more big bud than I got popcorn nugs from such a big plant. I have one more 1/2 gal Mason Jar of untrimmed tops to finish, then I'll post pics or a vid of the weigh up and glamour shots etc.. Oh, almost forgot, Little Lemon produced about 40 grams of very nice bud. This surpassed expectations because, although it was planted on the same day as Big Lemon, it was the runt of the bunch because it got pushed out of the main tent that had all the lights and Co2 environment and everything. It spent much of late veg under a very weak light. I remember how limp it was when I gambled on it and chose to switch her over to 12/12. But it was totally worth it in the end! Alight back to work for me. Check back later today for pics, vids! (Final Update: 5219 @11:09pm PT) Its done. Its finally done! I had to trim both plants with my own two hands! So Exhausting, yet so rewarding. So above are several videos of the weighing. Grand total for Big Lemon is 14oz of prime top shelf nugs, and about 3oz of nice popcorn/LARF (they are separated as shown above in a video. Forgive me for not throwing it all together to weigh it, I spent a long, long, very long time trimming and sorting and canning the buds according to their respective grade/quality. I may add one more update to show their respective weights. Oh and little lemon produced about an 1 1/2 oz of prime nuggets and quite a bit of popcorn/LARF, which I haven't gotten around to weighing yet. So, Grand Grand total of Both Lemon OG Candy (amazing job with this beast of a strain, Philosopher seeds) is about 18.5oz, or 1lb 2.5oz for two plants; 15.6oz of which is entirely made up of top-shelf buds ๐Ÿ˜Ž Damn I love SoCal, I didnt even need to run carbon filters because no one be trippin about a lil stink weed. Thanks to those for following this grow! Tell me what yall think! Cant wait to see some comments from all you growers out there. (Update: smoke review after a week or two of cure) This Lemon OG Candy had an extended veg period, about 4 months maybe a little longer, and I harvested her on day 56 of flower (recommended harvest 60-70 days) because of the size/distance to light and her root-bound problems. The results so far, a very uplifting and stimulating quality.

Her leaves are being leached of all their nutes. We are approaching the end of this plants journey within the next week or two. Molasses and plain bottled water seem to be doing her great.

Start of week 2, day 8 of flowering. The plants are sagging a bit in these photos, as I took them just before feeding, except for the pics in the grow room, they are just after feeding. So far, they all look good and healthy, a few leaves are showing some small deficiency signs, hopefully that will go away as additional nutrients are added over the grow cycle.

Was another good week this week. Seem to have figured out the brown spotting, started adding sensi-calmag to the mix and the spotting has stopped and leaf color is darkening back up. Not sure if was from calmag deficiency or low nitrogen, but either way they look better so it seems like it was the right call. Did a light defoliation early in the week, maybe a dozen leaves per plant. Just the usual stuff under canopy or bunching too much. Has been much easier to keep humidity down since the heavy defoliation a week ago. Buds are really starting to look good on three of the four plants with the front left being furthest along. She is starting to pack frost already! Back left still looks a week behind, but coming in strong. Could this be a come from behind winner? Last day of the week took apart the Autopot system for a good clean. Clean the res, flush the lines with line cleaner, pull and clean the valves with dish soap, cleaned out the trays, wipe down the underside of the pots and back together it all goes. Been running for 40 days and this is the first clean, should be the only one as there's only maybe 40 days left. I find the B52 builds up a bit of sludge after a month or so, but worth using have seen noticable better grows since adding it to the feedings. Either way, an hour of work once a grow is nothing to complain about VS all the time out in hand watering. Also a big improvement on the newer 5.0 valves vs the previous generation. They are about double the diameter, so they gunk up MUCH less and fill a lot faster. Using the old valves I was cleaning every 1-2 weeks depending on feeding frequency. Lights 18" @90% pushing 700umol/s Watering 32L every 3 days Air domes running 100% of time 4" intake @70% 6" exhaust @50% 6" Oscillating fan @50%

Not much to say apart from the Auto Wedding Cake is budding along really nicely, by the smell I can see why this strain is called Wedding Cake. Definitely can't wait to have a smoke of this. Happy Growing guys

Took a while per photoperiod plants as a whole. My first grow for photoperiod but I'm impressed. Did well, very stretchy. I smoked some that I broke off 2 weeks ago today also and I loved it. The taste, and the effect is spot on what I like. Super light high, just nice smell and smoke. I would like to find a plant like this 25:1 cbd/thc but as an autoflower. Can't find any online unfortunately. 1.1oz from my first photoperiod. I'm happy! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

One has started to really take off upward as the other seems to be stacking up really tight. Seeing g a couple rust spots so keeping an eye incase I have to add a little CalMag to the feeding. Seeing what looks like pistols forming so preflower I'm going to guess will be happening very soon. Happy Growing

Week 7 Flower With this week being her last week of nutrient feedings before flush, I've reduced the overall strength and stopped feeding bud explosion as she doesn't need such high amounts anymore. Nature's candy and molasses are still being added at the same amounts, for optimum nutrient uptake and to also carry on feeding the microbes. They also help with trichome production and increase flavour/aroma. Her buds just keep on growing and growing and she's forever getting taller and taller, to the point where her tallest cola's are extremely close to growing taller than the light! Only an inch or two to go and she'll surpass the reflector! Although this doesn't bother me in the slightest, because every inch below that, all the way down to the net is nothing but flowers! She doesn't smell too strong at the moment, especially with other strains in the tent giving off different scents, but she's unbelievably huge. She has arm length cola's filled with buds. The fattest parts of a few of her cola's are almost coke can width! She's not going to stop putting on weight and swelling just yet, so I've tied a few more branches up similar to how the yoyo style strings to keep them from flopping all over the Surf Purps. A couple of branches at the back corner are getting pounded by the fan; their flowers aren't showing any damage but there's a few wind burn marks on some fan leaves. Of course this isn't ideal, but I'm unable to move the fan at the moment with another plant being in the way, and there's also no better position in the tent for it currently. It's not doing much damage so I'm not too worried at the moment. Next week she starts flush! ๐Ÿšฝ๐Ÿ’ฆ Thanks for following and happy growing! ๐Ÿบ
