She is now coming into preflower and loving the new T5's. She is growing nice and bushy with future tops shooting for the stars. The stretch is definitely near. She will continue to be tied down and has been pruned and defoliated as needed to give her that sexy shape i want her to have in flower. Her terpines are beginning to be noticeable and is of lemons, earthy notes, and loud gas. She is now also getting kelp extract added to the nutes. She is growing very nicely and i could not be happier at the moment. So far OSSC has my attention as their phenotypes have been very nice.

Day 32 - Heater was blowing directly on a couple of the leaves that turned brown. Cut them off. Raised lights up again. I think my development is a little slower than others but I have had a lot of trial and error. Day 33 - added tomato rack for LST. growing nicely. Day 34 - Stopped nutes as I was getting a little leaf burn in lower leaves. Looks good otherwise. Lights are dialed in. Day 35.- This is what too much light looks like. Day 37 - Switched to the grow light. Moved the heater. Growing nicely. Day 38 - Lights dialed in REDUCED water. Stopped watering for 2 days. Day 39 - Full Lights on now. Put more holes in the pot. Draining nicely now.

November 8th. 39 days post flip Plants continue to grow very well. A lot of fattening has occurred in the last week and I expect even more in this following week. Midweek I have some big 6 and recharge. At this point I likely won’t be providing anything but water until the finish line. My lower leaves have not started to fade yet and so I do not want to overdo it with any nutrients. Smells have intensified a lot in the last week. I smells these things when I wake up in the morning when I go to work. Still not a lot of purpling on the purple marmalades. I can see them starting to turn. I’m hoping lower nighttime temperatures will help They need a defoliation now honestly but I am going to be patient and will not defoliate until day 49. I still need to add those two fans. I just ordered them so will add them in a few days when they arrive. Number 1(Cherry Chunks): This one seems to have the fattest colas. Also appears to be the frostiest so far but number 3 seems to be catching up. Not much on the smells on this one just yet. Earthy so far Number 2(Purple Marmalade): This one is my winner so far. The smells and taste of the Trichomes on this thing are absolutely insane. Candy mixed with guava mixed with watermelon. It is also the tallest and most vigorous plant. I’m confident I could fill this whole tent easily with one of these Number 3(Purple Marmalade): Smells of slight lemon mixed with earth and gas. This one seems like it’s going to be a bit gassy. Not as vigorous as 2 but it is frostier as far as I can tell. Clones: Growing well and really starting to take off! God Bless!! November 9th Update: Hey guys i ended up lying in two category’s. The first one was when I said I was waiting until day 49 to defoliate any more. The fan leaves were getting out of hands so I ended up removing half of them now on day 40. This significantly opened up more bud sites to the lights up top and also increased airflow and lowered my humidity a few percentage points. I did this a little early because they are fattening and I’m concerned about navigating around the buds when they are fatter in 9 days. Trying to mitigate the number of Trichomes I smash up. I also ended up giving some molasses. Want to make sure my microbes are happy and figured the potassium boost will help the flowering. As always, thank you guys and god bless!

It’s been hot out. A perfect time to dry buds. I love when it’s super hot or super cold when it’s time to dry buds. When it’s hot the ac makes the humidity nice and low and when it’s really cold out the heater makes the humidity nice and low

Week 8 is finally here! We changed up the nutrient feeding to the week 8 on the feed chart. I am diluting everything at a 50-40% rate to keep EC within acceptable ranges of 0.8 - 1.1 EC. I started adding Terpinator to the mix and I do notice a significant smell increase vs. without it. I am going to keep using this as I think it is a great supplement. I did figure out that even though on the bottle and on the specific feed chart, it says it is a light formula that will have minimal impact on EC and will not burn your plants at the recommended rates - it will! First time mixing up my nutrients with terpinator, I had to dilute it because the EC was too high. I put the recommended amount in my mix, and checked EC and low and behold it was high. The next feeding I did a 50% dilution rate and that seemed to be ok if you are diluting your other inputs properly to compensate. ALWAYS make sure your EC and PH are in check prior to fertigating your plants. I am watching the trichomes on a daily basis and am looking to harvest sometime this week or next. I plan to dry it in the tent it is growing in as it has AC and good airflow. Once they are done drying, they will get trimmed up, lightly vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer. Updates will be coming throughout the week!

Week 10 started very well, maybe too much nitrogen during the flowering period, this caused a lot of sugar leaves to grow inside the buds! The cycle will end today or at most in 3 days. GC is at week 8 (54 days) OS is at week 10 (64 days)

I have just got to water PH measurements and figured out that the ph of water I have in my house is 7.0, while the water I bought is 8.0! At the same time local water is very hard, while the water I bought is much softer. So i am now awaiting for Vitalink PH down Easy delivery to adjust the soft one 😁

Hey Friends, I just started my very first grow. Excited to see the outcome, Its a learning process, discovering new things everyday. Plant #2 growing rapidly, seed was very dark compared to others, does that mean something? On day 4 i noticed the leaf turning yellow on the borders, currently only feeding water, will keep an eye on that and do some research on the topic.

Hi everyone! THIs is my first grow and any tips and constructive criticism are encouraged. Right now they’re in a five gallon bucket with a 60watt cfl light in the top wth the lid closed. BLacked out walls from outside stops the light from being exposed and keps it inside. I plan on ordering a grow tent very vey soon(2x2x3) with a 1000w led grow light.

What a world of difference a week can make when growing auto-flowers. I did a lot of maintenance on these girls the last couple of days. See pics and videos. Two of the plants have stretched out nicely. The other three are falling behind, but looking very nice. There is a strong citrus smell happening right now. Smells like I have a tent full of fresh lemons. Started using Big Bud and Bud Candy this past week. Tent 2as getting quite crowded, so I also moved the water reservoir on the outside of the tent. It was very hard to cut a lot of those beautiful buds off the plants, but I think it will pay off. I also got the new Vivosun Grow Cams, so far I like them, but I do have some feed back.

CandyMan (kre8 Genetics regular seeds) Week 5 Day 35 of veg! First one has always looked smaller not sure if it's due to that light though but could also just be a weaker Genetic 🤷‍♂️🏼 the other two seem to fill out quickly even after pulling most leaves off they just bounce back looking bushy in 24hrs! Two more weeks until flip 😍

Growing Apple & Bananas was a breeze. The plants showed impressive resistance throughout the entire grow, handling stress and minor fluctuations with ease. They responded especially well to lollipopping — that technique really brought out their best structure and boosted the final yield. Speaking of yield, it was definitely on the higher side, with dense, resinous buds that were a pleasure to trim. In terms of potency, the effects sit comfortably in the mid-range. It’s not overwhelming, but still delivers a pleasant, balanced high that’s perfect for relaxed afternoons or casual social sessions. What really stands out, though, is the flavor. Apple & Bananas lives up to its name with a sweet, fruity profile that mixes apple-like freshness with tropical banana notes — smooth, tasty, and easy on the lungs. Overall, this is a great strain for growers looking for reliability, high yields, and a deliciously sweet terpene profile. While it’s not the strongest hitter out there, its combination of flavor, simplicity, and resilience makes Apple & Bananas a solid choice for both beginners and experienced growers alike.

So these two are growing completely opposite of each other. I feed them the same and one is losing fan leaves while the other is thriving. The one that is thriving I actually topped so we will see if it stunt the growth by any chance
