Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

Coming soon

So, Week 4 is done and the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Autos are slowly coming along. It has been even colder in Canada this past week and temperatures in the tent have been hovering around the 70 degree mark. The humidity has come up a bit to around 30% and this is an improvement but the combination of too cold + humidity too low = small, struggling but surviving plants. It’s disappointing but this is consistently my toughest grow cycle of the year. Other than that, I increased the water to 4 litres per watering which is still being done every 4th day- so that’s 0.7 of a litre per plant per day. Although I was planning on topping all four of these plants following my previous Sweet Seeds grow experience, these ladies are just not up for it- too small, too slow and surviving not thriving. I will look forward to that with my next and final Sweet Seeds grow so stay tuned for that in future. Mom’s Tip for Week #4- Cleanliness is next to Godliness!… I wholeheartedly feel that a clean and organized tent/grow room is essential for a successful grow. I often see other growers leaving dead foliage to pile up in the bottom of their tents, watering with no drip trays or not cleaning their space in between grow cycles. They are often plagued with unwanted visitors, fungal infections and a nasty build up of crud in the most precious place- your happy garden! Here are my top tips for keeping your tent/grow room clean, organized and consistently productive. Always remove dead or defoliated foliage from the bottom of your tent and take it all the way out of the immediate growing area/room. Biodegrading foliage provides the perfect environment for unwanted insects/pests to hide in and feed on- potentially creating an infestation that could devastate your crop and contaminate future grows. I place all green materials including my post harvest plants into the compost pile where it breaks down creating beautiful, natural fertilizer for future grows! Always use drip trays when watering or clean up excess dirty water that seeps through your pots/containers- potentially creating ideal conditions for various fungi and molds that can affect your plants, equipment and perhaps even you. I use inexpensive, plastic drip trays to catch any run off instead of relying on the waterproof bottom that is sold with my tent. I have personally witnessed the mold that can grow on and between these waterproof bottoms and the actual bottom of your tent as well as moisture so severe that it rotted through the stitching/seams of an otherwise perfect tent. Always clean your tent/grow room in between each and every grow cycle as well as throughout the grow as needed- potentially avoiding cross contamination from the previous grow and maintaining a high daily standard. Aside from insects and pests, fungi and molds- pollen from a previous grow gone wrong can wreak havoc on future grows if not dealt with correctly. I thoroughly vacuum my entire tent and wipe it down with a hot water/bleach solution applied with a spray bottle and a clean cloth. I also use a cordless Black and Decker hand vac conveniently mounted on a wall near the tent for daily maintenance and clean ups as needed. Keeping your tent, immediate grow space and supplies organized will also make things easier. I keep everything up and off the floors and if possible stored in rubbermaid type containers. This allows for quick and easy sweeping/vacuuming, wiping/dusting and the deep cleans required in between grows. All of the above mentioned tips will help increase the odds in your favour for a successful grow/harvest but they will also increase the longevity of your equipment too. Growing Cannabis at home can be quite a hefty initial investment so if a little light cleaning can make my core components (tent, lights, intake/exhaust fans, etc.) last longer, work better and equal more bang for my buck- it’s a no brainer!

did this beautiful girl a topping, depilation, and LST, she feels good 💚

She is packing up slowly and Surely.

Ph was way too low the last 2 weeks but ignored it, since super soil. A few plants are very not happy about it So I drained the reservoire and cleaned everything out and PH'd the water to 6.8 with some sodium bicarbonate 🤞

Englisch version below Tag 78 Grow: Tag 23 Blüte: Es wird regelmäßig gegossen und aktiv gegen die Trauermücken gekämpft (Neemöl und regelmäßig Nemathoden). Leider recht erfolglos bis jetzt. Andere Schädlinge sind nicht zu sehen. Bei der Wässerung werden hier und da Blätter entfernt, die Blüten verdecken oder tieferen Trieben schatten spenden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 78 – Grow Day 23 – Flowering Phase: Watering is carried out regularly, and active measures are being taken against fungus gnats (neem oil and regular applications of nematodes), unfortunately with limited success so far. No other pests are visible. During watering, leaves that block light from the buds or shade lower shoots are selectively removed.

2.4.25: Plants have totally dried now. I watered each plant with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres: ♡ .25g Greenleaf nutrients Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ .50g Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Part A ♡ .25 Greenleaf nutrients Sea K(elp). Everything is looking good, just waiting on ripening and then the much anticipated harvest. 6.4.25: I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with the following nutrients;- ♡ 4ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ Greenleaf nutrients Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Part A Total PPM: 1010. GORILLA COOKIES: Is looking super frosty and close to harvest. She's still drinking well, so checking her daily. BUBBLE KUSH: Is looking very good, still waiting to check buds, as I don't think we're there yet. She's drinking very heavily still. It won't be long now. Maybe a week. So many buds! 😍 PINK MIST: We are not developing very quickly. All of the deep orange pistils are sticking out and aren't curling in. This is week 21 now 🤯 Hopefully I can wrap this up here very soon 😅 DO-SÌ-DOS: She is looking phenomenal 😍 really large buds. One is very ready, but the other buds are still not there. I am really looking forward to harvesting this stunning lady! 🤩 Maybe also another week to 10 days. Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂

Day 30-had some electricity problems for 12hours so put them front of the window so they had some little daylight without sun :( guess this will not be so big problem since is autoflower. I hope... Day 31- i freaking love how they explode... they grow like 3+cm every day :) and biggest plant is lke 6cm every day lol... i belive they are now full in flowering stage cus alot pistals comming out ! Oney like 40 more days till harvest jeeeej :p Day 32- saw some brown spots on leafs i foud out is calcium deficiency,so i made calcium from egg shells..i boiled for 20min then baked for 10min and mixed in fine powder (1g/350mg) calcium and add 0.1g/l into wather ...also did some extra LST... Day 33- Some flowers hight info ... biggest plant is now 62cm then 52cm,39cm,37cm,35cm......they are in diffrent size of pot so i expected something like that.... well 50cm plant is in smallest pot,alot higher but 2main colas and alot less side stems then others plants(also made pic week 5) Day 34- I was looking and thinking and i noticated if plants keep growing like this i will have to make tent bigger so i going to make width and length of tent bigger for 20cm, from 100=120...biggest plant is alredy 65cm so i start bend her down slowly so doesn go to close to light....also i raised small plants so they are all olmost the same height. Owerall all is good did tons of LST little bit deformatiation and had little bit of calcium/deficienty also alredy made tent bigger so looks all good now :) !!!till next week!! Goodbye :)

Day67/68 lookin very good dont know what else to do than lettin them grow

9.2.25: Purple Punch P1 and P2 are near the end. Trichomes are looking good. Starting to turn cloudy. I think another week or 2. P3 is a different story. She is pitifully small still. The buds are also not developing as fast as the other 2. Will keep checking the progress every few days (if I can get in the tent)! 9.2.25: The plants had a good watering, they're all still drinking a lot. Which is great, as that means growth, which, at this stage, we desperately need! I went ahead and gave all the plants a thorough watering each with: 2ltrs of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.5 with:- ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 4ml Seaweed extract liquid I don't know how this scrog net is going to work out. I think the squares are too big. It's elasticated, which I like. However, I'm extremely cautious with watering and moving the net. It's only a matter of time before I break more branches. It's such a hassle with it in there, honestly. I can't get in the tent properly to even check the weight of pots, as it's all weaved through, and again, I will snap branches. I did have a free net with the tent, which I think was smaller squares. I think I will use some other training next run. It's really not my kind of setup. I'm too interested in moving things and inspecting the plants constantly. The net is driving me up the wall. 😣 I'm considering removing it and trying something else, but it's also a bit too late for oldest plants. 9.2.25: Gave the plants another good soak. I used 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. It contained the following nutrients; ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 4ml Seaweed extract liquid ♡ 0.5g of Ecothrive Biosys. The plants are undergoing explosive growth at this stage, which I'm thrilled by! Purple Lemonade is turning purplish hues. Pink Mist has so many bud sites and is looking very healthy. Do-sì-dos is growing vigorously and looking promising, especially considering all my unfortunate mishaps! 😅 Watermelon also has considerable growth. However, my training has made a mess out of the structure. Which I consider another valuable take away. Bubble

Alright, so here we are again! At the end of week 8 and this little lady ain't so little no more! Sheesh! She's a monster! And a mother lol to some beautiful clones, which we cut last week. Can't wait to see how they do in comparison to her. I did a little defol as well and will continue to do so as I wait for my young plants to veg. This is going to be the longest veg I've ever put a plant through so wish me luck. Thats why I'm loading her up with mag. She already has an abundance of Calcium...BAS does a really good job of loading their nutrients with it. I also gave her some Gaia rock dust and some LABS and JMS solution as a probiotic for the plant and it also brings more microbes to the living soil! Good stuff! Highly recommended! Nothing like homemade bacteria and microbes to give you that extra advantage 😉. Well thanks for stopping by. See ya next week.

Well I'm pretty sure they are done stretching. I had to adjust lights and LTS main stems but I made them fit. I have never grown this many big girls at one time so this is a new experience. I really wish I had some better lights for them. I have 650 true watts over 4 plants (Is it enough?) and the 5th has 250 watt so shes good. Other then that they seem to be really happy and don't seem to mind the lack of wattage. They are starting too smell awesome and all those bud sites........its crazy.

Harvest was quick and painless!) At this point, the plant hangs upside down and dries slowly.

This girl is turning out to be a very impressive Beast exotic colours and her smell at fruitiness with a air of skunk it's quite remarkable there's really not much to say about her except that she's cruising through at great speed and looking like she is on steroids remarkable genetics from sweet seeds. From now on I don't think I'm going to be able to take her out of the tent because those huge branches are filling up with big heavy flowers . One interesting note about this girl is that she does not drink that much water and does not require much nutrients looking forward to see this girl finish thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

She's still doing her thing. I'm not sure she could get any frostier!! 😂 😎 A few more weeks left yet.

Cold water on 4/21 and 4/19. Will water one more time 4/23, lights off 4/26, cut down planned 4/28
