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.

Looks like I had a small deficiency of sorts (calcium I think) and I'm feeling optimistic about the corrective actions I took. However, I think it is time to change my nutrients up, the sooner the better. plants are sagging and are in need of soil to hold the nutrients so ill re-pot mid week

Well these girls are ready to be harvested week 9 day 0 - total growing seed to harvest 63 days for sid frosty purple buds that are definitely packing weigh for such small plants , Growing these girls have been really super easy and as simple as watering , I did stress these girls out definitely, resulting in my stress creating the biggest plant at around week 4 a hermi and had to be removed this wasn't anything related to the strain or seedbank I do take full responsibility for the hermi . Colours around the top buds have lovely purples are green hues frosted in white resin , these are frosty 👌 , Okay these plants have grown that good I've ordered more for the next run to try these girls again as they amazing, Girls scout cookie's from @zamnesia have become my top 3 strains grown if this girl wins any awards it would become the second best in my growing time for convenience of growing for results of these type of dense indica nugs are bigger than golf balls and look amazing 👏 Using ripen and will harvest on day 63 , normally I grow my plants untill I think harvest time is due thoe I never chop early as I made this mistake once so bud devolpment is what I watch most the bottom buds must be firm and ripe not just the top buds as this is what leaves the popcorn crap , underdeveloped buds and absolutely a waste of time Moving to LED was harder than I though 😪 Watering mistakes and light intensity stunning growth of plant without question I lost alot of yeild but still gained enough to make it affordable and quite enjoyable. Will only start fading plants in there last week now I've done some of the girls way to early but learning is everything . Please like and follow I've 20 new plants starting this week One plant is super small but stacked some of the biggest nugs in the room with purples and greens frosted in white its grew fantastic The other grew naturally and would be great in a SOG 10 liters , big frosted nugs , literally waiting on the bottom finishing up and the buds becoming somewhat firmer and more ripened , no point cutting early at this point

Week 11, all the plants are doing great. Still have a few still stretching out over the rest but everyone just started stacking up lots, and lots of bud sites. Not to much to report this week, just adjusting thier nutrients for flower, other than that it's just a waiting game at this point. So far, this has been a very good strain for my first grow.

Starting my first grow in the new tent with my first Night Owl seeds. Grabbed these from seedslocker a few months ago and they've been sitting in my seed vault in the fridge since. Popped them in a glass of water at 8pm on 10/18. Broke out the AC Infinity propagation system and added a bit of RO water to some coco pucks. About 24 hours later they sunk in the glass and had opened up a bit with root peaking out, so into the pucks they went on the evening of 10/19. No real movement on 10/20, turned the heat pad off because they were a little warm. Morning of 10/21 the first Compound V was starting to pop through the soil, 2nd one followed a couple hours after and before noon all 3 were making their way out. Opened vents on the dome to let them breathe a bit more. 10/22 continuing to grow really strongly, looking good. 10/23 some roots out the bottom, time to go into the tent. Transplanted and seem happy, dialing in the temp and humidity and airflow, some odd higher temp days still around this time of year with some heavy fluctuations but it will normalize out. The tent has been stood up and cooking a bit w/ the lights blazing and a dehumidifier running to dry out our soil a bit. Had issues with fungus gnats last grow and I'm trying to prevent that this time. Ordered some beneficial nematodes as a line of defense and sprayed soil with a good soak of neem oil as a precaution after drying out. Sticky traps show no gnats so far. Soil is Coast Of Maine Stonington Blend Aeration Formula, a 70 / 30 Coco / Perlite blend that I've used before. I have Coast of Maine dry nutrients and Fox Farm liquid nutrients, will likely try to stick to the dry nutrients unless fungus gnats emerge again. Soil is in 5 gallon fabric pots. I added 2/3 cup of Stonington Blend Plant Food and 1/3 cup of Wiscasset Blend Earthworm Castings to each pot along with some Mycorrhizal Fungi spores and worked it in. I have been using the AC Infinity self watering bases but as I'm running 6 total plants this grow I've ordered the new Vivosun self watering bases to compare them.

Hello Folks 😎 7th week of flowering,I'm really amazed by these girls ! They are very productive, the smell is powerful, and look at the size of these colas ! 💪 They drink 4/5 liters every 5/6 days, for the last watering with fertilizer, I reduced the dose about 650 ppm my plan is to start the flush from day 50 until day 65 and from there, I'll see if I have to push a few more days while checking the color of the trichomes I think I'm going to enjoy this strain, already like the smell a lot 😻 Follow, like and comment if you enjoy it I also have a second diary with 2 Remo Chemo Peace Love & Weed 😍👊

F29 beginning of 4th week of flowering SD3 - initially sweet orange then engine grease SD2 - initially sharp vaseline then engine grease mixed with kerosine.I personally like SD2 more. Even with the stunted growth. SD3 is getting yellow from the bottom and i dont know what to do. I had thrips so i sprinkled diatomaceus earth on top of the soil and rubbed some on the fan leaves and stems. Sorry for the reddish pics

Week 4 Report: Big Cheese Auto Flourishing in Autopilot Mode! Hey there, fellow cultivators! It's that time again – Week 4, and our Big Cheese Auto is stepping into a new phase of autonomy. This week, I introduced the Autopot system, letting our green friend decide when and how much to drink. It's like giving her the keys to the watering kingdom, and she's embracing the freedom beautifully. First and foremost, a hearty shoutout to Seeds Mafia for gifting us with genetics that keep on giving. The resilience and vigor displayed by our Big Cheese Auto are a testament to the quality seeds we started with. Now, let's dissect the nutrient symphony that's been playing in the background: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro continues to dance with the elements, ensuring a stress-free environment for our plant. The monoclinic acid is working its magic, and our Big Cheese Auto is sipping contentedly in her newfound freedom. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our nutrient bodyguard, remains on duty. This week, it's all about maintaining that structural integrity as our plant starts gearing up for more vigorous growth. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundations of greatness. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio in the All-in-One Liquidstoped as the pellets on the soil s are now available and are the backbone of our nutrient regimen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium – it's a growth party, and our Big Cheese Auto is the VIP. This all-in-one soil simplifies our feeding routine, letting us focus on the art of cultivation. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): Start Boost, the architect behind our root cathedral, is still in play. Those micronutrients are like construction workers building a solid foundation for our plant's future. The roots are thriving, and our Big Cheese Auto is standing tall. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is establishing a symbiotic relationship that's pure magic. It's like having a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: Introducing a new player to the nutrient team – NutriSpray. Packed with organic surfactants and a microelement cocktail (Mn, S, Zn, Fe), this foliar spray is like a spa treatment for our leaves. The horse chestnut extract binds with microelements, creating a protective shield that stays on leaves for up to two weeks. It's like a force field against nutrient deficiencies. How NutriSpray Works: The horse chestnut extract binds to microelements, creating a protective shield. This shield ensures the nutrients stay on leaves, allowing for a slow release over two weeks. Additionally, it thins vascular fluid, facilitating faster nutrient transport within the plant. How to Use NutriSpray: Dilute with water (2ml per 1L), and spray the entire leaf surface. For our indoor oasis, I sprayed during weeks 1, 3, and 5 of bloom for general nutrition. Our training efforts continue to pay off. Low Stress Training (LST) by bending leaves is shaping our plant into a work of art. The canopy is becoming more even, optimizing light exposure for future buds. The transplant into the spacious 15 L pot is proving to be a smart move. The roots are spreading their wings, exploring the nutrient-rich soil, and our Big Cheese Auto is reaping the benefits with each passing day. As we move into the next week, the excitement is palpable. The Autopot system is in full swing, and I can't wait to see how our Big Cheese Auto takes the reins of her own hydration destiny. Once again, a huge thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and our amazing community. This journey is a collective effort, and your support is the fuel that keeps us growing.

Ragazzi è stata una vera soddisfazione di aver avuto l'opportunità di provare una genetica di SSSC 💜 Li ringraziamo tantissimo per l'opportunità che ci hanno dato e ci rivedremo molto presto con un'altra delle loro favolose genetiche... molto probabilmente una della fioritura rapida! Coming soon on CampaCavallo 🏆 💚👍🏻

-Esta semana simplemente las he regado un par de veces con un litro y medio cada una. -A una de las GG ya estoy haciéndole el flush final -Empiezan a enfermarse las hojas. Puede ser falta de calcio, potasio, magnesio...no lo se. Les he echado uns buena dosis de potasio y las que están más afectadas les he echado sgua limpia y un poco de potasio. -una de las GG le falta poco para cortar. El resto les quedará poco menos de un mes

Awesome Week💚 Following some great discussions with more experienced growers, I really think we got things back on track! 🙏 To those Growmies I really raised the ppm this week we topped out around 630 PPM This was in an attempt to balance out some nutrition issues. I think the ladies have responded very well. 😃🌱💪 Raised the light up to 24in as well a few days later after seeing positive changes due to feeding regiment. Started preflowering, showing pistols on all plants. Counting down these last 7-8 weeks when the ladies beauty comes out 🤩 Will update throughout the week with photos and videos. Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

One smells like Grapefruit...never had that before and the other more like anise. Maybe this will change in the next weeks, but it's interesting. Every HSC strain I tried was blowing my mind

I SOAKED THE SEEDS IN A CUP OF WATER, WITH A DASH OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, FOR 24 HRS. I THEN DUMPED THEM ON A PLATE BETWEEN PAPERTOWLS, AND ANOTHER PLATE(NOT TOO SOAKED-MAKE ROOM FOR AIR) UNDERNEATH I PLACED A HEATING PAD UNDER THE PLATE, FOR 24 HRS, TIIL THEY POP AND ROOT TAIL IS QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH FROM THERE I PLACED THEM IN PRE-SOAKED JIFFY PELLETS, AND PLACED THEM IN A GERMINATION KIT/WITH LID DOME. I DEFINETLY MESSED UP BY KEEPING THEM TOO MOIST. AND HAD TO TREAT THEM WITH A HYDROGEN PEROXIDE(3%)DELUTED WITH WATER, UNDER AND TOPPED. THEY ARE 10 DAYS NOW, I BEEN TRYNA HARDEN THEM OFF, PLAN ON TRASNFERING THEM TO THE SYSTEM. WISH ME LUCK
