It’s frosty time these bruccies are putting out trichomes like nobodies business!! This update is coming in at around halfway through week 9 as I’ve been very busy recently and haven’t been able to give the girls quite as much attention but boy oh boy are they doing well. Stopped pruning and trimming of any sort, just letting them run their course now. Switched big bud for overdrive, I read online that overdrive is more beneficial for calyx production so hoping they continue to bulk up a bit before I harvest. Was under the impression that autos would be finished by week 11, leaving for a trip around that time so I will be forced to harvest the girls then, regardless of how mature they are. Ideally they would go for another 4 weeks but it is what it is, my first grow and it’s been an enormous learning experience. Just bought some 3 bears OG from the Mephisto restock, super hyped on these. Also hoping to grab a few of their new illuminautos as well when they drop tomorrow. Gotta set my alarm for that!! Really hyped on this upcoming run, learned so much from these bruccies that I’m ready to put into the Mephistos.

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Estamos en las ultimas. Se ve que ya no quedan mas de unos 10 días (a la purple quizás un poco mas) pero dentro de todo ya esta finalizando el resultado. No es el mejor de todos, mucha asimetría, mucho problema y mucha irregularidad en el cultivo que dentro de todo hacia complicado saber de dónde pudo haberse generado el problema, pero aun asi algo de producción obtuvimos. Más allá de revisar la productividad de este cultivo, veremos qué tal la calidad de este.

A bit late to post this, been busy. They have started to flower vigorously and stretch a lot. The 2 different methods are showing different results. The plants nearest the AC aren't doing as well, possibly because of the AC But also the different growing method. The fungus gnats are becoming a nuisance as are the white fly i now have which is apparently quite common in THAILAND. The are a pest and i am trying to control naturally with yellow paper and a mild soapy solution. All in all i am happy with the grow so far, i have watered with a guano and Azomite mix and look forward to the coming weeks. I have included a picture of one of my phenos on the other tray, a beautiful Zapplz starting to show it's colour. Biggest challenges are Humidity being in the tropics in the wet season, and the pest starting to appear.

Week 13: Week 5 Flower—A Garden in Full Bloom 🌸✨ Hey, Grow Fam! 💚 We’re deep into Week 13, and this room is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each plant is unique, showcasing its trichome-coated beauty, with white hairs dancing in their distinct patterns. It’s the culmination of patience, hard work, and overcoming challenges. The two-layered canopy—thanks to some ambitious young ones—is a testament to adaptability and dedication. 🌱🌟 Feeding Update: Aptus Holland Breakout Powder This week, we introduced Aptus Holland Breakout Powder into the feeding mix at 0.5g/L, alongside the nutrients already in use. This powerhouse additive is designed to promote robust flower development, enhancing both density and resin production. Breakout Powder brings that extra “oomph” to the table, helping the girls truly break out into their full flowering potential. 🌺💪 Combined with our existing recipe, the results are already starting to show. Buds are swelling, trichomes are shimmering, and the room smells heavenly. If you’ve ever wondered what a well-rounded feeding schedule can do, this week’s results are the answer! TrolMaster Magic: Monitoring & Stability I’ve included a few TrolMaster app prints to share my love for this system. It’s not just about controlling the environment; it’s about mastering it. The app provides real-time data, historical records, and an unmatched level of convenience. Whether I’m sipping coffee or working in the garden, the system keeps me in sync with my grow. This week, I’m particularly thrilled about how stable the pH levels have become since transitioning to full mineral-based nutrients. Unlike the organic-mineral combo, which required frequent adjustments, the current setup is practically self-sufficient. This stability means happier roots, more consistent nutrient uptake, and ultimately, better plants. The data speaks for itself—check out the comparison print! Comfort & Style: My Aptus Holland Pants Oh, and can we talk about how comfortable my Aptus Holland pants are? These have become my go-to garden gear.

03/31/25: Today was a major milestone in the grow: all five plants were transplanted into 1-gallon AirPots and topped above the 3rd node. I also cleaned up everything below node two, leaving each plant with two strong, healthy nodes to begin shaping their structure for the vegetative phase. Normally, I wouldn’t combine transplanting and topping on the same day, as both are stress-inducing events. However, the plants looked robust and healthy, showing no signs of weakness. Because of this, I felt confident they could handle the dual stress. Still, I expect them to take the next 2–3 days to recover, after which I anticipate they’ll bounce back with even more vigor. Each plant was moved into a 1-gallon AirPot, which encourages air pruning and promotes a more fibrous, expansive root system. During transplant, I sprinkled mycorrhizal fungi directly near the rootball of each plant to help stimulate root colonization and increase nutrient uptake during this critical phase. On inspection, the roots were healthy and white, showing no signs of being rootbound—making this the perfect window for transplanting without risking transplant shock or root constriction. The newly potted plants were placed back into the 4x4 tent, now sitting about 36 inches (approximately 91.5 cm) below the AC Infinity S44 light, which is set to 40% power. This provides a PAR reading of around 360 µmol/m²/s, which is well-suited for early veg. To begin early phenotype tracking, I’ve labeled the plants as PP1 through PP5: • PP1: Most vigorous plant so far • PP2: Slightly behind PP1 in size and growth rate • PP3–PP5: Showing very similar growth characteristics, slightly more compact If early vigor is any indication of sex, I would guess that PP1 and PP2 may be male, while PP3 through PP5 could be female. That said, this is purely speculative—true sex traits won’t reveal themselves until preflower, and many vigorous plants end up being female as well.

Anotheer amaazing Black cherry punch pheno, beautiful colas, they looks just like rockets, so fat dense and sticky colas man. So in love with this black cherry punch, same sweet aroma, very fruity and sweet just like her sisters. I'm very happy with how this strain has performed in my garden. All my plants are 100%organic grown. She's been grown with florganics FLO Living soil, guanokalong organic dry amendments and Silicium flash by biotabs which contains bug shit and helps to keep a good microbial activity in your soil, it also contains silica, Flo living soil is full of life too man, I'm getting top clean aromas, very clean medicine for myself. It's such a pleasure to work with what I love the most. My cannabis 🤞💚😋🍪 peace everybody!!

Germinated the seeds and worked on the grow closet (these will be growing in my bedroom closet) The watering setup is two 5gal buckets with PVC fitted a half inch from the bottom of the bucket, with a P trap pipe connecting it to a shared 5gal reservoir with an air stone (one will be run to each bucket to be extra safe from stagnant water) and 2 pond pumps to deliver water to the base of the plant. Nutrients added after wool placed into baskets on Day 4.

The video is actually from 4 days after I planted my germinated seed. Found the vid after I already posted Week 1! With the seed being an autoflower I was worried it looked a little small at first, but I was wrong...

A little pale for my liking, possibly because I start with a weak nutrient solution (EC well below 1 mS/cm) but she's coming along steadily. She got a full tank of nutrient solution this week, where previously I'd been dunking the rockwool in a weak bath of Ionic Grow.

Due to the low yield and really fast veg time, I would avoid this strain until I master the nutrients I am giving the my plants. I only weighted the small plant which is 12g. The strain tastes so good and smooth. I love the quality of the smoke!

Bienvenidos la semana #3! 😁 Día #18. Crystal Candy XL Auto ha empezado a crecer de forma espectacular! Northern Lights auto ha mostrado las primeras preflores y también están empezando a crecer muy rápidamente Royal Bluematic ha pasado por el bloqueo de nutrientes por el ph alto en el agua de riego (es la única strain que la ha manifestado). Se ha regado con agua con ph ajustado para controlar el bloqueo. Orion F1 están yendo más lento que el resto...  Día #19. Crystal Candy XL Auto y Northern Lights han empezado una carrera hacia el cielo Se decide empezar con LST en todas las variedades (ver fotos)  Es primera vez con LST, así que espero hacerlo bien! Pero supongo tendré una curva de aprendizaje o ensayo y error Día #20. Crystal Candy XL Auto se muestra muy sedienta. Sus compañeras siguen con 100 ml de agua desde hace unos 4 días, y ella necesita 250 ml de agua cada 3 días (también es la más rapida). Se ha regado Crystal Candy XL Auto con 250 ml de agua más 2 ml/l de Bio-Grow de Biobizz Es necesario ajustar el LST a diario  Día #21 Se hace un riego con 100 ml a todas las plantas (excepto Crystal Candy XL que se regó día anterior). LST es exigente en su revisión diaria pero divertido! 😃 Día #22. El tiempo se está volviendo soleado y hacemos el primer baño de sol.  Crystal Candy XL Auto está respondiendo muy bien al LST, necesita ajustes a diario Royal Bluematic tbm responde bien al LST. Las Orion F1 están yendo lentas... No sé si cogerán velocidad la próxima semana He detectado que Northern Lights tiene una pequeña plaga de minadores de las hojas (solo una hoja afectada). Para atacar la plaga y por precaucion, se hace aplicación foliar a todas las plantas de jabón potásico y aceite de neem.  Día #23. Descubro que he quemado algunas hojas tras la aplicación foliar de ayer y meter demasiado rápido bajo la lampara... Salimos al exterior! 😂 La idea es dejarlas en exterior el resto del cultivo, a no ser que vuelvan las lluvias (espero que no! 🙏) Pequeños ajustes de LST  Gracias por leerme!  😄
