I'm a few days late on updating this diary as well as feeding my girls (well, just a couple days late on feeding) and the weather is not helping! It's 48F and drizzling out, which is prime conditions for mold production😒 but there's not much I can do about it at the moment. So I did include a video this week to give a better look at the girls (And please ignore me saying Amy aka CBD Gorilla is a late September finisher.. It's actually mid-October, I can't keep anything straight) Jojo is still the runt of the litter, Amy is catching up to her big sisters and Bubba and Ice Cool are still the stars of the show. Nice colas plumping up and soon to be ready👏 I'm excited!

Greetings, fellow cultivators! We've officially crossed into the much-anticipated flowering stage with our beloved Cherry Cola Auto, and let me tell you, it's nothing short of a horticultural fiesta! The transformation over the past week has been nothing short of magical, with our once lush bush evolving into a budding beauty. Last week was a game-changer as I bid farewell to the training supports that have guided our Cherry Cola through her bushy phase. Now, she's free to express herself, growing wild and embracing her natural beauty. The transition from veg to flower has been seamless, and I'm witnessing a symphony of bud formation that's simply breathtaking. One of the marvels of autoflowers is their ability to veg and preflower simultaneously. It's like witnessing two acts of a play at the same time – the plant is reaching for the stars while also gearing up for the grand flowering spectacle. Cherry Cola's growth rate is nothing short of impressive, and I find myself in awe of this dynamic phase. With the shift into flowering, I've made some adjustments to our nutrient regimen. The Start Booster has gracefully bowed out, making way for two new players on the stage – P-Boost and Topbooster. P-Boost, a phosphorus booster, is a soluble wonder that not only enhances blooming but also contributes to improved water pH. It's like giving our Cherry Cola a backstage pass to a nutrient orchestra. Meet the New Stars: P-Boost and Topbooster: P-Boost, with its organic acids and phosphorus punch, is playing a vital role in stimulating protein, hormone, and vitamin production. It's a symphony conductor orchestrating the blooming processes. Meanwhile, Topbooster, the dynamic duo partner, is enhancing the flowering response, producing larger fruits with more fibers, resins, and sugars. It's like a magical potion for quality and flavor enhancement. Oh, did I mention that our Cherry Cola looks perfect to my eyes? She's a vision of green excellence, and I'm captivated by the flawless symmetry of her growth. Every day, she inches taller, embracing the flower formation with grace and poise. As we wrap up this Week 1 Flower report, I'm left in amazing of the beauty unfolding before us. Cherry Cola Auto, with her wild growth and budding allure, is a testament to the marvels of cultivation. Stay tuned, green enthusiasts, for the next thrilling installment as the floral overture continues!

Flushing begins week#8. Water only now, looking for the fade. Will veg longer next time and defoliate. Last pic is a leaf I took of it has 2 calxys on its stem. Next run with 2 plants in this tent should be good. ( plenty of room ) I think the curling up of leave's from low humidity? 48% because I feared getting mould, any thoughts? 02/04/2018 Lost power for about 30 hrs, she has been in the dark with no aeration. Hope she did well update tonight,

Tie die 1/3 didn’t sprout 1/3 killed today because ladyboy the other one also under control and looking sus. Only last real men fighter is Trump Runtz. It’s so sad grow looked pretty good and know noting left.

Day 42-49 (June 11th - June 18th) (Day 43) I need to work on my early veg times. Things are just too slow in the seedling stage. Next round I will use a coco/Destiny blend for the better aeration and lower EC. Even with my indoor plants. I notice plants started in coco root way faster. Not just with weed either. All plants seem to like it better. Coco is far superior to peat imo. (Day 44) I’m pruning off the lower branches on my rooted blackberry clone. It’s cool to see it’s weird reveged structure. Lots of the fan leaves have trichomes on them. (Day 45) Something really weird is happening to Grapefruit #3. The leaves are browning and starting to gnarl. It could be an insect of some sort as it’s the only plant looking like that. (Day 47) It just hailed super badly and the leaves on some of the plants are pretty damaged. In my neighboring town the hail caused multimillions in damage so we got lucky here. I’m going to spray some method 1 pps prevention spray today to help keep pests at bay. I will try to do it in overcast or shade. I’m seeing what looks like thrip damage but there is no way they can survive the cold nights here. Dog shit in my yard is attracting flies which then land on plants spreading god knows what. (Day 48) Autos are still really stunted. I wasn’t able to find out how big they will get so I will just wait and see. I would guess they’re in their flowering stretch because their growth is unusually fast right now. I will probably just end up with 6-10 inch ornamental plants for autos. Definitely should have started them around mid summer in coco then transplanted. Time is of the essence with autos it seems. (Day 49) Photoperiod plants are looking really happy but growth is stunted from the cold and lack of light. I was hoping for bigger plants by now. A lot of growth can happen in 2 weeks so we’ll see. I’m definitely not transplanting on the 21st but the sooner I do it the better. The bbb clones are struggling hard to root but I can see new growth on them starting to push out. My clones are taking a really long time to establish. Every plant here, I don’t care how stunted, must be flipped by July 15th.

Hello Diary, Purple Lemonade has finished the first week of flowering, the flowers are forming nicely all over the plant and it has been 28 days since the beginning of the vegetation. Purple Lemonade has continued its rapid growth, this week it has grown 20 cm and is now slightly taller than 50 cm. The main cola has risen more dominantly above the other branches, it is forming nicely. The leaves are a healthy dark green color and do not show any signs that the plant is missing anything. Summer temperatures are slowly falling, nothing significant but every degree of lower temperature makes me happy. This week the average was 29 degrees and rarely exceeded. The humidity in the grow box is around 50% which is ok. Watering is a little more frequent, every three days, and sometimes every other day. I still add CalMg but this week I started adding BIO-BLOOM Fertilizer. I prepare 9 liters of water, add the listed nutrients and lower the p.H. to 6.0. I water all three plants on the Farm with this amount. A few days before the end of the week, I cleaned the bottom of the plant to allow better air flow and to make it easier for me to water. I also turned up the LED lights to 80% at the beginning of the week. Here's what the past week looked like. 15/08/2024 - Day 22. Watering. The soil was very dry and the leaves were slightly drooping. I watered each plant with 3 liters of water. I put 1ml/liter CalMg and 1.5 ml/liter Bio-Bloom Fertilizer in the water. 18/08/2024 - Day 25. Watering. Again the soil is very dry and the leaves are slightly drooping. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 21/08/2024 - Day 28. Official end of the first week of flowering. After taking photos, I watered all three plants at the Farm. Purple Lemonade - Day 28. - 52 cm That's all I have for this week. See you soon and thank you all for your comments.

Smell has become very strong. I will soon have to hang a net to give the plants support.

So it must be that she prefers to be defoliated the training seemed hard on her for me. She wilted really hard through the weekend. I even reduced her light hours way back and separated them. Now they're back together again. I find that shes also a heavy drinker. I'm super excited shes definetly flowering now! And rather large for the container size. Hope you enjoy & check back next week to see just how fast she grows! And remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!

End of week 3 of VEG I topped the plants and tied down each branch .. as you can tell I lost my plant ties soooo ribbon it is. But the plants popped up after 1 day and are thriving ! I’m ready to put these plants into flower I just need them to grow enough to get some clones ! The strain I made is definitely showing it’s washing machine traits and I think it was crossed with Blueberry so I’m hoping these buds end up coming out beautiful! The Dunkaroos are going along really well especially one of the phenos of it flowers as nice as it does during veg then it is definitely a keeper! I’ll post again in a week with the start of flower!

March 3rd, 2019. The plants are 28 days old today. Growing well. They are well in early flower now. Began LST and did just a small amount of defoliating. They had Azos mixed with Mykos on day 26, will probably feed tomorrow depending on moisture, if not the next day for sure. They just look great. March 8th, 2019 - 33 days old. Was a big grow week. Both plants doing great. They had a full feeding Tuesday and today they got a good solid flushing. They are starting to smell pretty good. If you look closely at the cola shot, you can just see Trichomes starting to form. Lord knows what they will look like in 4 weeks. About 16 to 17 inches tall, really heavy branches, leaves look great, nice beautiful green.

Excellent growth still. No bugs, no mildew. Found a few snails and one grasshopper. The grasshopper would not touch the plant. It was staying on the support pole. Flowering has made itself known.

Week 8 – Day 59 (BT35) RedPure#4 has stopped stretching and remains steady at 40 cm 📏 She’s now clearly maturing – buds are dense and swelling nicely 🌸🍇 According to the breeder info, she should be done by the end of this week 🕔 Overall, it wasn’t a perfect run, but she’s getting there! 💧 I’m currently using diluted osmotic water, but the drain pH remains stubbornly low – between 5.6 and 5.8. Canna pH+ didn’t work well with Advanced Nutrients, so I’ll be switching back to BioBizz pH+, which helped in a previous grow to raise the pH more reliably 🔧

Beautiful Pheno. Stacked with trichs! Definitely huge appeal! With a slight sour worm/super c terp profile.
