Alright folks, I hate to admit it but I messed up. I deleted the photos for this week and I was so disappointed when I realized I did. My phone was glitching after an update so I did some maintenance and made some space, thinking I'd already uploaded my photos for the week to my drive because I'd done so for the Autos, but hadn't done the photoperiod pictures😣 But at least there's a video. On 8/1 I went to the local mushroom farmer just a couple miles down the road and got some spent hardwood substrate blocks. While there's not enough food left in them to make mushrooms, there's still live mycelium. The mycelium creates a symbiotic relationship with the cannabis plant by entering the soil and taking up residence in the root system. The roots can only take up so much surface area, but the mycelium can take up much more. So in exchange for sugars from the plant, the mycelium gives back nutrients. So in order for the mycelium to enter the soil I crumbled a couple blocks around the base of each plant and then watered it in. I hate playing this game of catch-up but it's just been wayyyy too busy and I've had hardly any time in the garden.

Hope everyone enjoys the super drip harvest🔥

D75 (04/02/2021): Glue Gelato has been in the closet for 24h. Banana Kush is ripening everyday. I might place her in the closet with light ON for one more week when Glue Gelato will be chop and in the tent drying. RH% and temperature are fine in the closet at the moment and it does not smell that strong with Glue Gelato inside. That give me an option to continue Banana Kush for more days in it. - temp in the tent: 22C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - temp in the closet: 18-19C - water: approx. 3L of tap water for Banana Kush - RH in the tent: 42% light ON ; 45% light OFF - RH in the closet: 42-44% D76 (05/02/2021): Glue Gelato has been in the closet for 48h. I will chop her tonight! I will place Banana Kush in the closet with light ON. She needs at least one more week I guess - temp in the tent: 22C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - temp in the closet: 18-19C - water: approx. 2L of tap water for Banana Kush - RH in the tent: 40% light ON ; 46% light OFF - RH in the closet: 42-44% D77 (06/02/2021): Banana Kush is in the closet and the environment is good at the moment. - temp in the closet: 18-19C - no water - RH in the closet: 42-44% D78 (07/02/2021): Banana Kush buds are getting fat. When I squeeze them I can tell that they are getting denser. She drink less water which is a sign she's getting closer to the end. - temp in the closet: 18-20C - no water - RH in the closet: 40% D79 (08/02/2021): I gave around 3L of tap water. Trichomes still look cloudy with no amber but I can see more of them and they look bigger. - temp in the closet: 20-21C - water: 3L of tap water - RH in the closet: 35-40% D80 (09/02/2021): She get frostier everyday! It's beautiful to see! She definitely have more trichomes than she had last week when she still was in the tent. The trichomes of Banana Kush are not yet at the same stage where Glue Gelato's trichomes was when I chopped Glue Gelato. I'm glad that I waited and that I did not chop both at the same time. - temp in the closet: 20-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 35-40% D81 (10/02/2021): I gave approximately 3L of tap water. She's a beauty but she's not ready. I said one more week last week... I say the same haha one more week! 😅😏 - temp in the closet: 20-21C - water: tap water, 130 PPM, PH7.0 - RH in the closet: 35-40%

Here it is the mango skunk the (male) now i can start breaking with diffrent plants and try and make some new strains just got 2 more plants to wait for and see if they are male

Let’s start with the smell absolutely wonderful it’s floral & sweet it reminds me a jasmine green tea🤤 The buds are SUPER sticky✂️ See you in one month for the smoke review Take care 😎 Oh & happy new year

New update on week 2; things are going well so far, transplanted the seedlings to 0.75l pots with 60% coco-coir, about 30% worm castings, and perlite. I've also added some nutrihemp (about 12gr) which is a earth organic fertilizer containing some micro-nutrients and seaweed minerals. Keeping a average humidity around 60-75% by a wet towel underneath the pots, temps are nice and stable between 19 to 22C (66.2F - 71.6F). Also slowly started on nutrient feeding. Received a message that my R-DWC (hydro) has been dispatched, along i ordered 5 huge 200mm ceramic air stones for maximum dissolved oxygen. I am thinking to switch to LEDS soon, stay tuned.

Plants seemed super short coming into week 3, I've raised the light 60cm above plant to encourage some stretching which it definitely has done this week. I'm watching the plant closely as moving into week 4 could mean moving into flower... They look pretty happy. Watered every 2.5 days, leaves and soil misted with ph balanced water morning and night. I'm toying with the idea of throwing in some far red light for 4 hours to see if it helps develop the plants more. 29.01 Far red light ordered aswell as a UV bulb. Plants seem to be doing ok, noticed a few leaves on RC#1 had curled tips so held off on watering for 3 days which seems to have done it some good. Snapped a lower branch on RC#1 during LST, wasnt a clean break maybe 60%? I've glued it back in place to see if it will bounce back. The brand feels floppy and lifeless at the moment but I've supported it properly so hopefully couple days it will repair itself. RC#2 also fell victim and lost a fan leaf.

Chopped on Day 62. These 2 are citrus, pinesol, gassy dipped lemon wedges smelling.

Watching the time lapse shows me how my plants are doing throughout the day. Unfortunately, I am only setup to download the data once a week after the grow has already happened. I noticed on the one from week 5 that there would be times it would show growth, and then later in the day start to droop. I figured this might have to do with my watering schedule, I did not want to over water, so I only did it every 2 days. Then I bumped it up to 1.5 days, but now I am watering every morning and that seems to have helped a bit after watching this weeks video. Next week should show better results I hope. So far each time I check them they seem to be doing well. I would like them a little taller, but I can't complain on how they are doing. I upped the nutes a bit this week as well. Do you think I should water more than once a day? When is the best time to water, just before they start daytime or just before they hit nighttime? Or somewhere in between?

This is the last week. Getting the chop in t minus 1 day! Its been a really fun learning experience and my new grow is already looking way better from learning from my mistakes!

She's clearly not happy. She hasn't been happy for a couple of weeks looking back at past weeks.

its looked great after trim .. smells amazing ..very enjoyable smoke

Finally past the halfway point and now we're going to hopefully see these ladies continue to swell. The whole tent is awesome i moved the mango cream out, harvested and then put a new lady in the tent to flower. The forbidden fruit is doing okay I'm just not a fan yet lol, the zkittlez is great and the liberty haze is a color changing frost factory. Halfway there!

Back on track! Giving them some nitrogen has them drinking water at a much quicker rate and the flowers are adding some new growth in all direction. I think they’ll be a week or two behind the original forecasted finish date and while the leaves may not be the prettiest these little northern lights autos are going to have that great smell and taste we’ve all come to love.

Ran out of room to raise my light more so i turned the intensity down from 80% to 69% giggity. The white hairs coming out of the buds stopped looking burnt and withered so I think my PPFD lower is better. My lame little dehumidifier is doing its best but these girls are moisture machines, transpiring like crazy. 58% RH is about as low as is possible. Many leaves have been removed to promote airflow and even light distribution as well as lower relative humidity. Lower larf has been removed without prejudice. The Jealousy would have been an unorganized massive bush without training and defoliation. It made so many bud sites. I love these genetics. When i do a trim the leaves smell so good on both plants. Fastbuds is the truth. Despite some minor mistakes and a few signs of suboptimal conditions these girls push on growing. Trust your insticts, listen to your girls! Good luck fellow botanists happy growing ✌️&❤️
