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.

Start of Week 8

Giorno 70 (10 di fioritura) Alcuni problemi con una Pink Gasoline ma per il resto le piante stanno bene e la situazione è quasi definitiva. Mi piacciono davvero tutte quante. Le Pink e le Barbara'Pie sono piante da scrog mentre le Rainbow crescono delle belle cimozze compatte 🌈 Ci vediamo settimana prossima sperando di vedere qualche pistillo 😀🖐️💪

We are nearing the end. I just gave this girl fresh water and I think she's going to get water only for the duration of the next week or two.. i might start giving her ice water to see if we could bring out any colors... Again, this is a mystery plant, so I do not know what her capabilities are, so we shall see... I hope everyone is doing well this girl. I can't quite put a finger on it. Her smell is nothing crazy, but she does have some nice trichomes on the buds .. I hope everyone is doing well.God bless and happy growing ✌️

Day 56 Flower — final update before chop. This’ll be the last live update for this run — I’m planning to cut next week and will drop a proper harvest post once everything’s dry and weighed. Gotta say I’m stoked: buds are looking sick, smells are off the charts and after 8 years I can’t wait to finally burn my own harvest. Quick real-talk: biggest headache this run was the night humidity (box was sitting in a wet cold garage — nights were brutal). I ordered the Spider Farmer heater ages ago expecting it to sort that, but shipping got messed up and it never showed on time. If I didn’t already have their inline fan and controller I probably would’ve cancelled and gone another route. Still — despite the rough nights the plants pulled through and the colors/terps turned out gorgeous. Lights/Setup note (what I saw): LED for veg worked great — compact, short internodes, dense canopy. HPS gave the flower its extra stretch and way denser colas — difference was obvious in top size and nug density. Next round I’ll run veg under LED and flip flower to HPS for that chunky, heavy bud structure. General impressions & vibes: Resin city. Most tops are sticky and frosty as hell — touch a cola and your fingers get that gooey, sweet grime immediately. Colours are stunning: purples, bronzes and deep greens — especially on the kush phenos. Cold nights helped bring that out even though they stressed the tent a bit. Canopy filled nicely — lots of even colas across the screen. Smell is absolutely lovely: sweet, cake-y, kushy funk depending on the corner. Strain-by-strain notes (photos + what I noticed) Wedding Cake Portland — sweetest, creamiest nose. Tops are tight and resinous with nice amber pistils coming through. Made some of the chunkiest, most fragrant flowers in the tent. Beautiful frost. Kush Crasher — most frosty of the bunch. Leaves and buds look like they were powdered with sugar. Strong kush terp profile, darker leaves. Real eye-catcher. AK-47 — classic structure, reliable resin and nice citrus/earthy notes. Good mid-bud density, chunky and fragrant. Very consistent. Double Krush — leaner colas but loaded with crystals. Has that layered aroma profile — kush backbone with sweet overtones. Looks like it’ll smoke quite smooth. Wappa — star of the show for me. Fat main colas, gorgeous purple bronzing and a sticky, punchy aroma. Dense, hard buds that scream quality. If there’s a top-shelf winner in this round, it’s Wappa — chunky, potent and beautiful. Big shout: Wappa brought the goods. Detroit Runtz — sweet and fruity, bag appeal for days. Colas are a touch lighter but super sparkly and smelly, classic runtz vibes. Run summary / final thoughts I made mistakes (low nights + humidity were a pain), but overall the plants handled it — produced crazy-looking, fragrant, sticky flowers. I flushed with plain water the last week and let the plants finish their thing. Next run I’ll tweak light strategy (veg LED, flower HPS) and sort the heat/humidity earlier so I’m not battling the box at critical weeks. Big ups to the girls — they pulled through and rewarded me with proper frosty buds. Also big frowny face to Spider Farmer for the late heater delivery — if you’re reading this, sort the logistics — shipping delays hurt growers (I’d been waiting since mid-November). If you want to make it right, you know where to DM. Closing lines for Wappa: Wappa was my pride this run — chunky as hell, super sticky, colors that pop and a terp punch that’ll make heads turn. Proper show-stealer. Can’t wait to chop and see what she smokes like. Harvest next week — will post dry weights and final pics. Stay tuned. ✌️🍃🔥

Well started scrog. Transplanted 2 Barney’s farm Critical kush into 5 gal fabric pots. I’ve been using 400 watt setting with a mh bulb. Ran into a little problem with leaf septoria. First grow learning happening here!! Lol

I sure need to get used to the Auto way of growing. My methods and system with soil for regulars are not directly portable to cultivating auto's, so it seems. So what started out as a comparison/battle, is now just a normal grow, since it's not fair that the battlefield was tainted. It does seem the XL Runtz adjust better to my climate and growing style than the Forbidden Runtz. Also looking for ways to keep my tent cooler. Considering growing outdoor this summer with seeds started in the tent. It gets way too hot in here as it is now, with outside temps just at 10 to 15 degrees C. I'm just watering, alternating with a bit of BAC Bloom and Calmag, and some Topmax. From here I hope its some smoother sailing and hoping the other three will pick up some pace. Thanks for checking in again!! Bud

Day 15: Nothing to report. Looks like it will need watering tomorrow night. Day 16: Watered with light dose of nutrients (1ml CM, 1ml G), Han and Leia showed up today. Frightened the shit out of me. They’ll be sticking around to help. Day 17: Added in some extra light. Day 18: Moved the plant another few CM’s away from the light. Continued to make good growing progress today. Han stopped by and hung out for a while. No sign of Mr.Nelson and Leia. They sure do seem to be getting on well. Day 20: Watered with nutrients again (1ml CM, 1ml G). It took nearly 3ltrs including run off. Day 21: Three weeks old today. We’ll possibly start LST in the next few days.

Nice;))))

She seems to be overfed, showing yellowing here and there. Also other has some leaves have brown spots. I might have messed up the Ph because I did not adjust the Ph of nutrients mix. I assumed it was ph corrected. Now, I am adjusting the Ph and reducing feeding. Let’s hope that she recovers next week.

She is growing strong and healthy....

Critical is nice and healthy had a good stretch before starting sidebranching but she's doing her thing now 3rd time with this strain so pretty use to how she goes normally rockets in these next few weeks sidebranching like mad she's been fed just water and is doing ok decent root formation compared to some of the others but a bit smaller putting it down to the autos been quicker in general was hoping to put outdoors next week but weather is too cold still not much else to report thanks for reading happy growing guys

Week 12 Started on June 19, 2022 Finally recovered and lots and lots of defoliation happened, I am talking a compressed ball of leaves and stems the size of a softball. That means I got rid of most the weight below the buds, snipped the buds I didn't want to see straggling, and lollipopped colas -- left a few leaves on. Took a few clones to see what happens. She is doing well, more pics soon. I cleaned the reservoir again, fresh water, drained the autopot and made sure my Ph is 6.3 to 6.7 Adding weak calmag+ to deter the iron lockout I think I saw in early week 11, figuring out dosing now, might need a bit more. Not a ton of nutes added as the plant is progressing well, added a tiny amount of MOAB, also just thinking my single COB flower light is gonna be too weak on its own. We'll see it's early yet. Might need to turn on the supplemental light next week, old school HPS 150 Watt on its last grow. The heat will drive the humidity way way down, and that will be a good thing, just gotta crank the fans on high and no looking back after that. That will be 400 watts in a 3x3 -- HPS is hot as can be. When compared with growth like this: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/135853-grow-journal-by-kushdoctor/week/766680#gallery=5630051 I worry about the size right now on day 18 of flower, not that big and no sugary stuff yet, I think I need to let her just grow and perhaps add just a bit more flower nutes, but I will wait until she fills in just a bit more, I seriously took off SO MUCH, but last grow I should have taken more off than I did, I was was super aggressive, I don't want larf.

They popped up pretty quick.. Got new tent for them. Waiting on light mover to put them in there permanently. Hopefully it gets here tomorrow night. But this set up it’s the cats ass.. Tent is solid and very very nice in quality I highly recommend it. Got the Infinity auto control fan too make this easier. Waiting on charcoal filters so I can cut them and attach them to the bottom intakes somehow. That’s my only complaint they give you nice large intakes just no way to block the light if open. But I figured something out I’ll show you later.. I also ordered a separate plastic floor pan that actually fits perfectly it’s like 23.5”x 47”.. Tent comes with nice fabric pan just don’t wanna ruin it..

Week 4 of flower 👍🏾

08/11/25 - Chunkadelic 1.5L 5ml per L microben terra actus😋

This girl has got some absolutely beautiful leaves. They have a dark tinge to them, that I don't know if it shows through on the pictures, but it is very cool. I think I may have too many buds for the size of my grow space but I can't decide which to trim or if I'm just overthinking things. Ill leave her for now and just tuck away leaves as the bud sites start to develop and then later trim any, if there are any of course, that may not have time or space to grow....... so for now I'll leave her to decide. she looks indica dominant (I've not checked) which suits me, I'm a fan of indica in a growing sense for my space, but means she will be a thirsty girl in my experience, compared to the sativa dominants. You can see in the photos that she has started to take square shape for her canopy space. I was once worried about her leaves touching the £1 emergency blanket I use as light reflection in the grow cupboard but has never been an issue its way too thin to hold anyway near enough heat to ever be an issue so the shaping also come somewhat naturally. shes under a selection of home standard LED bulbs around 10w, random blasts of UVB from a reptile light (I think helps growing with a slight slowing of the auto influence. My own thoughts from previous experiments only.) the other lights remain on 24 hours with a few 5 min breaks in the timer to cool the bulbs down a touch. I of course talk to her/them on a regular basis which has some scientific backing somewhere showing benefit for both of us.

Buen aumento en el volumen de las flores. Una planta no está tomando agua, revisé y no es botritis, la regaré con agua solamente cuando esté seca .

Se cambió de lámpara por otra del doble de potencia 2000W. BESTVA - Luz: Bestva Pro 2000W / 18 h/d -FloraNova Bloom G.Hydroponics: 0.7ml/l - Bio Bud G. Hydroponics 2.5ml/l - Armour SI G. Hydroponics 0.4ml/l - C4 Mills 1ml/l - Everest: 0.5 ml/l Control biológico: -Solution (bioinsecticida generalista: Beauveria, Metarhizium, Lecanicillium y Cladosporium + esencia de ajo y chile). -Acaridox (bioacaricida: Metarhizium e Hirsutella + esencia de canela) - Scamin (control escama y cochinilla) Cladosporium Herbarum -Bioprotection BD Plus (microorganismos bioestimulantes y bioprotectores: Trichoderma + actinomicetos + Lactobacillus) - Bioprotection TR + BSLIN (biofungicida generalista: Bacillus subtilis + Trichoderma y metabolitos).

Flushing starts now. 2weeks of flushing and then they will be ready to harvest :)
