UPDATE: Day 2 of week 10; Friday 23rd October: Nutes in with some LST and defoliation again. Diatomaceous Earth going onto the soil tops today to beat this thrips problem.. Sticky traps to catch the live ones. Glad I caught them fairly early as the girls still look ok. Raised my LED slightly today to give the girls a bit more room to grow and tonight I’m making my dehumidifier in a cardboard box solution to get the dehumidifier out of the tent to bring down the temps to a sensible level to deal with these thrips. I had no probs with thrips until the dehumidifier went in and raised the temps too much. So hopefully these small tweaks with get me back on track. Update same day: dehumidifier in a box method built, my handy work is in the pics, will update again tomz with humidity and temps checked to see if this shit worked! 🤞🏼🙏🏼 UPDATE: Day 4 of week 10; Sunday 25th October- Dehumidifier in a box idea was total shit lol but... I found that just rigging up the ducting to the dry air outlet and leaving the rest of dehumidifier in the open rather than in a box and then pumping that into the tent works much better than having the dehumidifier inside the tent. The plants have soooo much more room, fresh air and temps although slightly higher are not as crazy.. After careful inspection, I couldn’t see one thrip today and my sticky traps have lots of little bugs stuck on them 💪🏼🙏🏼... I’m pretty sure I’m not out of the woods yet, so to not disturb the Diatomaceous Earth in the soil bed I’m going to water them via the bottoms of the fabric pots for a few waterings to really ensure I cut those bad boy thrips to shreds 🤞🏼😎 Nutes will be going in too late tonight when I water them via the bottoms for the first time.. UPDATE: Day 6 of week 10 - Tuesday 27th Oct Girls looking good and the watering via the bottoms went better than expected.. So the Diatomaceous Earth can still do it’s job. Can’t see any thrips but I know they’re still there but no way near as many as before. Buds are still really small and in some areas look like they are beginning to turn orange already, I hope my LED is not burning them. I don’t think it’s that as some of the lower buds under foliage seem to have the same. Will keep an eye! Happy days 💚🍃🌱🙏🏼

I noticed that the whole right side of the tent had basically collapsed, so harvest was upon us. Using hedge clippers I cut away large chunks of the plant: THis thing is huge. Put some celophane over the cut ends and taped them, had to load them into the tent for drying at a couple of different levels so that it is stacked. Will update once I have dried and cured.

Hasnt been exactly a week since last post, these guys finish up much faster than photos... wasnt expecting that. Just starting to have amber trichomes, flushing now, fed mostly rain water until recently... looks like I will have to finish with tap water. I think I will chop one very soon to make room for some new ones

This ladies got pretty big for real, hands down the biggest autos I've ever had grown in 7l pots, excellent performance, and the flowers start to stink really strong, there is one pheno which is more developed than the other 2 phenos but the 3 have developed really good and they are producing a lot of sticky and stinky trichomes! Let's see how this will end up! Can't wait 🤤

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Nach der sechsten Wachstumswochen entwickelt sich die Orange Bud solide. Sie legt jetzt richtig mit der Wachstumsphase los. Vor allem hat Sie ihr Geschlecht offenbart und ja, es ist ein Weibchen.. 😊💚 Daher war es an der Zeit ihr ein neues Zuhause zu verschaffen. Daher wurde die Erde im neuen Topf (9L) mit der Gesponserten Palette von Biot Tabs vorbereitet! (Ein fettes Dankeschön nochmal 😉) Hierdurch werde ich die Pflanze grundsätzlich nur mit Wasser gießen und immer Mal wieder noch etwas Orgateex und später dann PK 5-8 hinzufügen. Die neuen Blätter sehen sehr Gesund aus und insgesammt hat sich die Pflanze gut entwickelt. Die Seittriebe beginnen nun in die Breite zu gehen und kommen allmählich gut hervor. Die unteren Triebe wurden rausgeschnitten, damit die Pflanze nun ihr Potential nach oben entfalten kann. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 21 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 48% VPD: 1,00 kPa 💡ppfd: 330 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Cultivation was very easy in terms of vegetation and up to half of flowering, where I encountered difficulties and ended up postponing their harvest. drying Purple presented 220g wet and 39g dry. I can smell a fruity scent on it and I see a lot of resin. I'm happy with the result but I still want a 50g plant.

A good week of growth for the 🌱. No issues, just trying to keep the RH high and not overwater them. I’ve been using a spray bottle twice a day, trying to keep the top soil moist , but not wet. Happy Gardening 👊🇨🇦❤️

I'm very aware the one is looking a little deficient but it is strange as I've fed that one the same as its sister despite the difference in soil. Looks like fox farm is proving itself here folks. Classic example of the power of the ocean forest. That bieng said you can clearly see the purple lemonade and that was deficient but it is wicked insane how frosty it is. Hope you folks enjoy & check back next week 2 see just how fast they bud. & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!

The harvest came pretty soon compared to my others autos under a 12/12 schedule and the yield is more than satisfying for me since the grow were done one 7L pot. The taste is far away from a real cookie strain but also far away from the average The effect is pretty positive on the body and mind , you will not get too stone but you'll also not be too high ( No deep reflection or philosophical thought but maybe a higher conscience of everything's) One month later : The jar is now empty , I feel like I smoked only that one during the last 30 days , of course I did smoke some of my other strain but I was always coming back to that one. One day I gave 2g to a friend and I instantanously regret it 😅

What a journey guys, this King Louis Automatic has been the queen of main lining since the beginning, it has been noticed for a great response and ease of application of the technique. ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per variety, one worked with techniques and the other left to grow freely and splendidly to preserve its speed and classic Christmas tree shape in height. Description // This plant was worked with a main lining at the second internode, the two brunches of the mainfold were stretched for three internodes and then topped again. My mistake was to leave something too much, I could have removed something more below and on the sides and obtained bigger buds but even these long and tapered ones I have to say that they are not bad. In the end our Tower Buds are not bad at all but next time I will eliminate something more for sure below. Fertilizers and soil // We used Plagron's organic range of nutrients the whole time, all the recommended additives and the unfertilized and organic Pro Mix soil. Calculate everything to suit your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ Nutrients are available in handy packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html I love this strain, perfect for main lining! ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11238-zamnesia-king-louis-automatic-seeds.html Zamnesia Brief Description // Say hello to true royalty with King Louis Auto, an autoflowering version of the original King Louis. Bred from OG Kush, LA Confidential and a premium ruderalis cutting, King Louis Auto produces top-quality buds just a few weeks after germination. Plus, her small size and vigor make her perfect for almost any grow environment. Incredibly efficient King Louis Auto has inherited the best traits of her photoperiod cousin, all wrapped up in a fast and easy-to-grow seed. With good soil and adequate watering, King Louis Auto seeds will quickly grow into robust and vigorous plants. Once mature, these plants will not exceed 80cm indoors, meaning they can easily fit into even the smallest of grow spaces. Likewise, outdoor plants only reach 100cm, making this strain ideal for guerrilla grows or other environments where discretion is key. Furthermore, King Louis Auto only takes 9-10 weeks from germination to harvest, after which she will reward you with yields of up to 300g/m² indoors and 150g/plant outdoors. With its pungent terpenes and high THC levels, King Louis Auto offers a fragrant and relaxing experience. When you open your jars of bud, you will immediately notice intense scents of pine, damp earth and fragrant wood. After inhaling her equally complex smoke or vapor, you will be hit with a deep and relaxing body stone, perfect for those moments of well-earned rest and relaxation. With 24% THC, King Louis Auto is a real powerhouse. The whole world of growing and much more is at Zamnesia - just take a look at the site and you will find "the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colours. --------------- www.zamnesia.com

On the 50th day, freezing of the leaves was done. it seems that it did not cause stress to the girl, and her leaves were all looking at the light the next day :) The girl drinks a lot, she needs 4.5 liters of water every 4 days, the girl received full nutrition on the 53rd day, the water ppm was 1100:) "strong girl -strong food ":D everything is going very well:) On the 56th day, when I came I saw condensation formed, the humidity showed 85%, I put a dehumidifier in the tent, so everything is fine :) good luck to everyone..Also, the girl received a "MarsHydro vetiliator" as a gift for her amazing growth :D she likes it :) she's happy - I'm happy :).

Thank you to all that have helped me along this journey. All of the answers, tips, comments, likes, and other diaries have been so very motivating to me. I originally started this diary only for my own reference but I'm so pleased to have learned that others have found it helpful or interesting, for whatever reason. If you're curious about equipment see the germination page and if you have questions feel free to drop me a line. So, without further ado: Jan 19 Day 105 Harvest day! 🎉🎉 Not really knowing how to tackle the situation, I started by cutting all of the fan leaves I was able to reach. Then, I cut each branch working from the perimeter inward - which due to the way she grew, was essentially the same as working from the bottom branches of the meristem to the top. Each branch was cut, cleaned, and handled individually before moving on to the next. Decided to wet-trim most of the branches, leaving 4 fairly untouched (only fan leaves were removed). Will be interested to see the differences, if any. They're all drying/hanging near the grow tent ~45%RH, 72F (22C). It isn't completely dark though, as some light is escaping the tent into the closet where they are hanging. I'm hoping this isn't terrible but I'll be keeping my eye on them. The process took the better part of an evening but I was cautiously learning, taking breaks, and generally being fairly slow. I'm sure I'll be faster and more confident next time. Jan 27 Day 113 Drying is complete, I think. Branches were hung and dried for 8 days in a consistent 68F (20C) 40% RH. They were determined to be dried after hearing a snap when bending (not breaking) large stems and buds felt dry to touch. Sugar leaves bordering on crispy while buds still had some give / fluffiness. The flowers from previously manicured branches were relatively easily plucked. However, the dry trimming process for the unmanicured branches proved to be a bit of a pain. They have been placed in a pyrex container to cure. I'm hoping flavors and aromas that are currently lacking will develop in time. 🤞 --- Stats --- Veg time: ~45 days. Flowering time: ~60 days. Height ~18in., ~46cm. Main Bud Length: ~9in., 23cm. Harvested 16 Hangable branches and a few extra medium/small buds. Bud Wet Weight, with stems: 242g, ~8.5oz. Larf/Popcorn Sugar-leaf Wet Weight (not counted above): 18g, ~0.6oz. Leaf/Waste Wet Weight: 38g, ~1.3oz. Drying time: 8 days. Dried Weight with Stems: 70g, ~2oz. Trimmed and Dried Total Bud Weight: 50g, ~1.75oz. --- Thoughts in hindsight --- Firstly, I can't believe I haven't tried growing sooner. So rewarding in so many ways! My initial hope was to harvest an oz., so I am obviously quite happy we could surpass that mark by a good margin. This is a testament to the plant more than me of course, as I was completely inexperienced and was purposefully as hands-off as I could be comfortable with throughout her growth. I can only imagine things will improve with time. Paper-towel germination seems to be prone to more stress for myself and arguably the seedling as well. Floating in 1% H2O2 solution seems to be ideal for me. I made bad soil choices. This mixture seemed to be too dense, leading to some watering/strangulation issues mid-growth. My 2nd grow consisting of mostly coco coir seems healthier and seems easier to maintain proper hydration. Coco might also be reusable while this soil definitely seems spent now. I didn't respect pH at first and initial testing was eye-opening. That said, after simply testing water and fertilizer readings a few times, I gradually felt more comfortable with guestimating during most feedings, only testing sporadically later in her life cycle. This seemed to be fine and was a bit of a relief after early testing proved tedious every feed. I've been happy with Better-Gro orchid fertilizer. This is of course contrary to most advice, which I admit is probably for good reason. That said though, I didn't notice any major toxicities or deficiencies during her grow. So, these products seem to have worked for me and are so much more affordable than cannabis-specific fertilizers. I was quite weary about not having cal-mag, but this never seemed to be an issue in this particular case. However, I'll be keeping a similar eye on my 2nd grow in coco, which I understand may need it. Training and pruning is important. This plant was quite bushy and wild likely resulting in quite a bit of unnecessary larf/popcorn. Not to mention the additional time needed to trim when harvesting. Also regarding training, pipe cleaners can leave noticeable cuts in the stem they hold. Thickly coated flexible garden wire would likely be ideal. I need to get a loupe or magnifying attachment for the phone. Digital zoom with shaky hands is not great for checking trichomes and my 3x magnifying glass just doesn't cut it. I cannot speak toward potency or yield without more experience, but simply for the sake of a greener hue, I think I could've harvested her a week earlier. Because I left a few branches untended during dry, I was able to experience both the wet and dry trimming processes. Unless keeping leaves for extra humidity during drying, I seem to prefer wet trimming as the still supple leaves were easier to remove with less bud handling. I'll add more thoughts if/when they come. Thank you again for stopping by! 👋

This week it's all about the 8 White Widow clones, rooted well in shallow water bath with .5ml pH perfect Grow in the water. Long roots sprouted through the rockwool and they didn't seem to be inhibited by the 50w led. Now transplanted into their 1L pots with fresh soil substrate, no additives. Transplanted 2 clones into rockwool now in 1 pot, see how they (Cerberus) develops. Harvested the clone cuttings on 24/8/2020, took approx just over 2 weeks (17 days) to develop the long roots seen in the pics above. Kept the water feed fresh every 3/4 days to prevent algae build up. Switched to 12/12 11/9/2020 Unfortunately, I had to pull this grow, it was painful to ditch the plants as the grow was going well but i had to move house and couldn't take them with me.

Hemos empezado un cultivo con semillas del banco Sweet Seeds y toda la gama de nutrientes y coco premium de Plagron. Es nuestra primera vez con coco y esta marca de nutrientes pero nos va a sorprender para bien! Primero diluimos siete gotas de seedbooster plus en un litro de agua y dejamos la semilla en esa dilución 12 horas. Esa misma agua la usaremos para empapar el papel donde pondremos a germinar las semillas. Al segundo día ya tenemos las semillas nacidas, y los líquidos de riego los haremos a un ph de 5,8 y usaremos power roots, silice rock y pure zym para cada riego con una EC de 0,5. Una vez a la semana haremos una pulverización de vita start y otro día a la semana vita race. Hacemos una dilución de estos mismos de 1 ml por cada litro de agua para pulverizar dejando bien empapadas las hojas. Vita start nos aporta un npk bajo para nuestras pequeñas y vita race le aporta hierro, de manera que con ellas conseguimos un mejor enraizamiento, ramificación y un color sano de nuestras pequeñas en sus hojas. Tendremos que ir subiendo el nivel de la Ec, ya que pecaremos de cautos en comida al no haber usado nunca coco antes.😎
