🌿 Dark Lemonade Auto - Chop Day is Finally Here! 🍋✂️ Let's get it rolling! What is up, GrowDiaries fam? The moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived. The Dark Lemonade Auto has officially reached the end of her run in the indoor tent, and it is time for the harvest! 📈 The Details / Harvest Report: Perfectly Ripe: After that final heavy flush with plain water, she is completely finished. Zooming in on the colas, you can see the pistils have completely curled in and darkened to a deep rusty orange. The trichome coverage is an incredibly dense, milky white blanket over the swollen calyxes. ❄️ The Final Form: Check out the full plant structure. She stripped herself bare! The autumn fade pulled almost all the remaining color from the fan leaves, leaving behind a stark contrast of yellow/purple foliage against those chunky, resinous buds. Tent Flip Ready: With the Dark Lemonade Auto coming down, the Pink Guava F1 officially gets the entire tent to herself. It is finally time to flip the lights to 12/12 and get that massive bush flowering! ⛺ 💧 Next Steps: I am taking her down right now! She will get a light wet trim to remove the large, dead fan leaves before heading into the drying environment. I am aiming for a slow, 10-14 day dry to preserve those sharp, citrus-lemon terpenes before moving the buds into jars for the long cure. 👇 Question for the community: When you are doing your final harvest trim, do you prefer a completely dry trim after the hang, or do you do a partial wet trim to remove the larger fan leaves first? Let me know your harvesting techniques below! She was a fantastic auto to grow! Let's get her dried and cured! 🌱💨

And she’s moving— just gave an ipm treatment and tip dress of kelp. I take it slow the first 2 weeks of flower then slam them with nutes in the next few weeks. Look out!✌️🏻💚

This week went really well ! Today we are at day 79 from seed an looking beautiful! One Forbiddin Runtz got chopped an hung to dry out an the rest are still flushing out through the rest of this week! Very nice looking fades coming along on the fan leafs from purple to green , so beautiful ! So happy with these genetics from @fastbuds_genetics! Super sticky an smell is so amazing, room full of purple punch’s an Forbiddin Runtz the smell you can’t beat, so many berries!!! Well stay tuned for next week! Cheers y’all

the plants are not too leafy but still need a bit defoliation around week 3 and 6 of flower, depending on how u grow this ofcourse next time i would bend them more in the net. anyway the buds are rockhard even at the bottom where there was no light.

Saturday 16-11-24 , Flowering day # 53 week 8. Harvest day! Cut branches off plants & hung the 2 front plants off the light. Put scrog net back in with a large flyscreen laying on top, & spread branches from the back plant over it. This allows complete air flow around the buds. Running a single oscillating fan beneath pointing to the bottom. Temperature is around 24°C & RH is 55%

Day 77 I'm running out of vertical space for pinus contorta, this weekend i will open the box to move the leds higher and will try to do some decent photos. At this point i've added the Pinus purple matcha to the diary because she's huge and impossible to not notice, should be around 1,5m² almost 150cm tall. Had to do a very risky move and "soft crop" 2 apicals because of burn risk, too close to the leds. I wasn't expeting a freakin' tree like that! Day 79 Jeez plz stop growing in height!! After this shaky video i raised the leds 10 cm, now i'm for real out of space.. I'm adding 10 to 12 liters every day, alternating ro with only silica one day and the other with nutrients.

easy to grow, brings big buds, you can do nearly anything you want with this strain, i made some strange shapes with it, plant keeps throwing its bud. good quality harvest. i smoked it then it was fresh and now after +4wks curing it still tastes very good. in my opinion its not needed to cure for long period to achieve better taste

I started out with two plants, well, I still have two plants but I dropped one when I was changing the nutrient solution. It isn't dead, but it hasn't grown any either since I changed to 12/12 light a week ago. Trashed the stunted one. The remaining one looks like it needed the room anyway.

Second week of flowering in the bag, and they’re all looking really healthy, even healthier than when I first threw them in the flower steady as she goes

23 May 2021 Today starts week 17 of my grow, which means I just have 3 more full weeks left till HARVEST!!! I’ve gotten to a point where watering/feeding every day is too much, but watering every 2 days is insufficient. I’m going to try and start watering in the evening (like today), and then skipping tomorrow, but watering earlier in the day on the second day. Hopefully that will be better. I have to be honest.... I’m sick of this plant. Not in a bad way, I’m just NEVER going to let a plant veg for 10 weeks again!! Especially when the strain I’m growing has a 10 week flowering time to mature. My pH meter is officially broken. I tried calibrating it today, and it was almost 4 full points higher than what it was supposed to be. Anyway, I used the last week feed chart today, but I believe I’m going to shift the next feeding to the ripening stage so I can do that the next 2 weeks, then flush for the last full week before harvest. So I fed the same as I have been. I chilled 1 gallon of water to 51 degrees F, then added CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml. I normally have to add somewhere between 2-3 ml’s of pH UP, so today I added 2.5ml. The TDS was 932 ppm, and the runoff TDS was 3386 ppm. The soil was super dry, and there was hardly any runoff. Which is why I’m going to adjust the feeding schedule to be every 1.5 days. 🤷‍♂️ 25 May 2021 My plan to feed early today was thwarted by the need to find a new pH meter because I switched up my nutrients today and I have no idea how to adjust them without a new meter. So, I spent the day searching and looking through 8 different stores until someone finally recommended a shop i’d never heard of before. And, it had everything a grower could ever need!! Awesome shop! More expensive than Amazon, but it’s local and has anything I might need in a pinch. Anyway, I shifted to the Ripening Stage today, and with the assistance of that shop keeper, I got a new supplement for late stage blooming! I’m adding General Hydroponics - KoolBloom (2-45-28). Just a half tsp in a gallon of water. So with that, I also stopped giving CALiMAGic as directed on the feed chart, but still gave FloraMicro 5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 6.0, so I added pH UP 3ml, which adjusted the pH to 6.5. TDS was 801 ppm going in. The runoff pH was 5.7, and TDS was 3688 ppm. Tent temp was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 45%. The plant is smelling strong now and trichome formation is doing well. 27 May 2021 Possible disaster in The_Good_Twin’s grow room!! The AC in my house died yesterday, and it got up to 93 degrees F inside my grow tent. 🤭 there was nothing I could do except open it up and add more fans. I tried adding a bucket of ice in front of the fans, but that didn’t do much. All my efforts got the tent down to 91 degrees F, but that’s it. I was afraid to look at it today, but it doesn’t look any different at first glance. The AC tech is fixing my issue, so I’m going to feed as soon as he’s gone. I’m keeping with the ripening level of nutrients. Continuing to add the KoolBloom .5tsp, FloraMicro 5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml added to a gallon of chilled water (53.2 degrees F). The initial pH was 6.1. I added pH UP 2.5ml, which adjusted the pH to 6.6. The TDS in was 749 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS was 3252 ppm. The AC is fixed now, so I hope all continues to go well. 29 May 2021 Today is the last day of week 17. I am continuing with the ripening feed stage for another week after today. The temperature in the tent has cooled down some to 77 degrees F, and the humidity was 45%. I didn’t have time to chill the water much today and was 72 degrees F at the time given. Nutrients given: KoolBloom .5 tsp, FloraMicro 5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 6.2, so no adjustment was needed. The TDS in was 1000 ppm. The runoff pH was 6.0, and TDS runoff was 2535 ppm. The buds are getting bigger, and more frosty with trichomes. The smell is wonderful as well. Just 2 more weeks till harvest.

Week was a bit more of a pain than some.of my other grows. Working on getting the sprout to stretch a little. Also feeding some PH water while adding a bit of additional dirt to fill void around sprout.

What a week! This plant has been THIRSTY! She has been drinking about a gallon a day, demanding nearly daily refilling of the base reservoir. We have continued the trend of increasing nutes with each watering, now reaching 15 mL/gal of both Athena Blended Base A and Base B. I will continue to increase nutrients as long as the small yellow tips do not expand any further. We have also since moved the plant to a new 4x4 tent for flowering. This was necessary, as the height of this plant (now surpassing 50 inches tall!), which we elected not to top, was reaching too close to the light, causing concerns for light burn and other issues. However, this does come with risks: a new tent is a new environment and there are concerns that the plant may not be able to handle it. The best way to avoid this is to run your new tent empty for a while to get an idea of the environmental conditions, to ensure you’re not taking a plant from let’s say VPD of 1.1 conditions to 2.5 (which may feel excessively dramatic, but is not entirely unheard of). Ensuring the environment is as similar as possible is essentially to reducing unnecessary stress of the plant. This new tent also addresses a minor issue of the smaller 2x4 tent: humidity. These thirsty plants are transpiring a lot, giving off so much humidity that the lower half of the tent was staying too humid for ideal conditions. Mold prevention is essential throughout flower (though, admittedly is more important in mid to late flower). Flower development continues, with pistils growing across the plant. Trichomes are visible across sugar leaves and the plant has already started producing a noticeable weed smell. No particularly clear notes, yet. But this is great to see continued development. In order to increase airflow and light reaching lower nodes, we committed to a moderate defoliation of the plant. This is the only real stress we have placed this plant under, but she has bounced back immediately and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Familia, estoy de vuelta y actualizo la cuarta semana de estas blue spider dé Zambezaseeds. Tienen alguna carencia que próximamente a de ser solucionada 💪 espero la próxima semana se solvente. Por lo demás fenómeno las flores ya están formando tricomas y me encanta. Aparte de que siguen formándose progresivamente todas sus flores. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.
