I pollinated a side bud of this girl and her seeds are developing quickly. Which is exciting for the sake of future grows. Other then that the buds are not super big at all but look super quality so I am happy with how things are progressing. As the week comes to an end the trichromes are really coming in and she is starting to smell very nice. I think one more week of flowering to fatten up a little more and then I will flush to finish. I learned that I started to feed flowering nutes to early and so my first two autos did not get super tall as a result. Learning a lot with my first indoor grow and first time with autos, I read a really solid breakdown of Autoflowers lifecycle that was super informative. I'll leave here, and post it with my final harvest post here. Knowledge is power 😎 LIFECYCLE OF AN AUTO A common question I see is when to switch autos from veg to bloom. Many people are under the impression that as soon as they see the first flowers it's time to switch. Perhaps a little explanation of the life cycle of autos will help to clarify this. Weeks 1 - 3. Once you've started your seeds and they break the surface of the soil, they are in their seedling stage. The first set of leaves to appear will usually single fingered, followed by a second set that may still be single fingered or perhaps 3 fingered. Once that second set appears growth will start to accelerate as the new leaves provide more photosynthesis. This process will continue, more new leaves, faster growth. Depending on the type of soil in use, mild vegetative nutes can be introduced at week 2. By week 3 most plants will start to show their sex. Males will start to produce pollen sacks and females will display pistils. Weeks 4 - 6. The plants are now entering a pre flowering stage. During this time the plants should exhibit explosive growth, often as much as a new set of nodes and 1" vertical growth a day. This is the time when they will gain most of their vertical height. Many people make the mistake of switching from vegetative to flowering nutrients at this point, assuming that since they see flowers it must be the proper time. This is incorrect. If the switch to flowering nutes is made at this time the vertical growth will stop and the plant will put it's energy into producing buds. If you need to keep your plants small, or want them to finish earlier, they by all means switch nutes at this point. But if you want to get the most out of your plants continue feeding vegetative nutes until you see the vertical growth slow and stop. Depending on the strain that will usually be sometime during week 5 or 6. Weeks 7 - 9. By now vertical growth has stopped and the switch to flowering nutrients has been made. The buds will start to fill out and put on weight, becoming hard and tight. Pistols will start to change from white to brown, orange, red, etc. By now the plants will also have developed a strong smell. Toward the end of this phase the large primary and smaller secondary fan leaves will begin to turn yellow. This is an indication that the plant is moving toward the end of it's life. Weeks 10 - 11. At this time flowering nutes should be discontinued and only plain pHed water fed to flush the remaining nutrients from the soil and improve the taste. Yellowing of the fan leaves will continue as the plant draws the stored energy from them. Eventually they will die and fall off. By the time that the smaller leaves that come from out of the buds will also start to turn yellow. Then it's time to harvest. I know that many of you are thinking that the seed bank said the plants will finish in 8-9 weeks, so why are you saying they take 10-11? The claims made by the seed banks are somewhat deceptive. If you switch to flowering nutes at week 3 or 4 the plants can finish in the times the seed banks say but they will remain small and not reach their full potential yield. Years of growing by myself and others has shown that autos do best if you follow this time line. Of course, there will always be variations depending on the strain, the environment, nutrients, etc. This information is meant to only serve as a general guideline.

Last week I realized that topping off the rez with full strength nutrient water had upped my ppms to 2000, and Ph to almost 7 I mixed a fresh batch of 10ml and saw ppms in the 1700 range, so I watered it down to 1200, 8 ml/gal is just an estimate this week unfortunately. I added 2.5 ml/gal big bud day 1 week 3 afternoon, Ppms should coming in at 1300 I finally got an accurate height measurement, and given the plant distance decided to turn the light power down to 60%, which should be around 120-130 watts, which is plenty for a 2x2 Did a water change week 3 day 1, used a transfer pump and it was fairly easy, just took a while More pistils are starting to show up now I've decided to start measuring ppm/ph as both creeped up too high last week. I cant vouch for how well ph perfect nutes work when changed weekly as directed, but they cant go 2 weeks without being measured and adjusted, and at full strength, Im sure they would burn plants. Day 2: ppms held steady at 1350 overnight, ph is at 5.8-5.9 New growth was showing very early signs of light burn, (pale leaf tips up top, tips not pointing down) so I turned light to 50% power, mounted it straight to my top tent supports, and bent the tops that showed signs of stress. Day 3: Ppm's still holding steady as water level goes down, so this may be the sweet spot for now. Bud sites are stacking now Selectively defoliated to get light deeper into the canopy

Day 1 Today is the first day of flower here we go doing a water changer in 2 or 3 days will set it to 900 or so can't wait to see the first buds on my girls a lot of love in this grow Day 2 Ppm at 450 now time to change out tomorrow Day 3 have a five gallon bucket at 1500 PPM to add back during this week is the reservoir gets low. ppm's are at 1150 with a fresh change of all the water we'll see how she's doing tomorrow Day 4 had a major disaster last night went in to check everything and have an inch of water inside of the tentnot too much water drain from the pots that the roots got dry but it did sprung a leak when I change the water out I filled the buckets too high so my sealed job broke had to think on my feet put the 4 plants into DiY dwc buckets I built with their bubble inside no way of maintaining the temperature in there going to have to get some kind of a new epoxy and hopefully have the system up and running tomorrow. Day 5 all is well with the grow again completely cleaned out the system and all the buckets put the new epoxy on there and everything is leak free did another exchange what the plants back to their original pots with a slight adjustment to the placement I hope the stress of moving the girls is not going to affect my yields too much it is only day five of flower hopefully everything's smooth sailing from here on out P.s had to add the 5-gallon of 1500 PPM nute solution to the reservoir to get everything at the proper level along with some extra Cal mag and a small amount of the other nutes the PPM in the system is now at 740 Day 6 happy to say not much to report lol everything looks good 🙂 Day 7 week over

So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

Using a Rhaspberry Pi 4 to automate the watering and a TP-link 105 smart plug to automate the Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light. You can see how I automated it here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony Basically, this is an "Automated Watering how-to Guide for Dummies" - as simple as technically possible. You still require some basic command line expertise, but the steps have been proven and I provide links to the gear I used AND the Node Red code, making this EASIER than anything else I've seen online.

Everything's fine, each one has really distinct flowers and the smell is starting to get quite strong 🤤. They drink plus minus 2 liters a day. I water them once with the pH Perfect mix, another time simply with Green Sensation(1ml/L), and once only with water at a pH of 6.5. I've been doing this cycle since last week with the Green sensation. (I think I could water them more to help them gain weight, but they seem very happy as they are, so I'll continue like this.) 😎✌️

I can't believe how big she has gotten for surviving in just a solo cup! Kinda opens doors in my mind on ideas for gorilla grows at low cost (only takes 1gal to run vs 3+ in a normal dwc bucket). I'll be honest and admit I've made the biggest rookie mistake and overfed, I knew I was really pushing her and wanting to see how far I could actually take her and burnt her tips in the process. The new growth is still green at the tips by the buds which is promising. I lowered her nutrient uptake slightly by 1ml for each base nutrient and gave a little less than 1/8 tsp of bloom booster. She got pretty tall and therefore top heavy, so the one afternoon I checked her and she was tipped over but no breakages, which was awesome. I tied her to the ceiling of the tent and now she is going nowhere. Been removing lower leaves and small growth that isn't showing sex yet. Once the colas have pre-flowers I remove all lowers that don't to help send energy upwards. I'm still seeing evidence of what I believe is rust fungus, though its growth has become much less noticeable than a few weeks ago.

Week 6! September 9 -Yo! Everything was all good just a week ago smh. Been battling what I think is a magnesium deficiency as I waited for dry back 3 days just in case and it’s gotten worse. -Since it’s early flower I’m thing Mag deficiency so CalMag every watering or every other until I see this stop affecting my fan leaves -Other than an obvious deficiency ladies are still producing trichomes and the flowerings are still growing. Will continue to pH the water and monitor the health of these two ladies this week

Day 49 to 56. I'm not going to hide that I'm in a hurry to finish the run. The mold arrived at the end of bloom because of me, it's depressing... Thanks for your comments these last weeks. :) This 8th and last week of bloom for the Kum Zuat 1. I continued to rinse the plant all week with power clean at 5ml/l. The Kum Zuat was harvested at 56 days of bloom with 1 week of rinsing. I still found some mold on some buds of several plants that I immediately removed. My yield will be affected, I still have this pretty Kum to cheer me up! All the photos and videos on this update are about Kum Zuat 1. The other plants have been fertilized normally for this 8th week, you will find them in pictures next week. I enter the 9 th week of bloom and I have 4 plants left which will be all cut on day 63 of bloom also with 1 week of rinsing. 1 kum zuat 1 kosher cookies 2 gmo x animal cookies Can't wait to start this new run.... I'll tease you a bit: Sanlight of course <3 Ebb & Flow Botafarm / Blueberry muffin Advanced Nutrients Are you interested in following this?

She has received a bit of heat stress from last week but she seems stable. She has not been fead anything this week all she has had is just pure natural sunlight. The pot is not light enough to feed her so I will wait until tbefore I feed her and continue to keep her in the natural sunlight

Sequence: A sequence is an ordered list of numbers. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4 is a sequence. Series: A series is the sum of the terms of a sequence. For example, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 is a series. Summation: The addition, and also the resulting value, are called the "sum" or the "summation". Use summation: 207,360=9 103,680=9 51840=9 25920=9 12960=9 6480=9 3240 =9 1620=9 00=0 09=9 18=9 27=9 36=9 45=9 54=9 63=9 72=9 81=9 90=9 180=9 360=9 720=9 1440=9 2880=9 5760=9 The number 25,920 is relevant in the context of astronomical phenomena, specifically the Earth's axial precession, a cycle that takes about 25,920 years to complete as the Earth's axis "wobbles," causing the Earth to shift its orientation relative to the stars. 144x180 = 25,920 Axial Precession (Great Year): A slow wobble of Earth's axis, completing a cycle approximately every 25,920 years, causing the apparent shift of constellations over long periods. 72 Years per Degree: The 25,920-year precession cycle is divided by 360 degrees, resulting in roughly 72 years per degree (25920 / 360 = 72). The number 72 is connected to the golden ratio in pentagonal geometry. The angles of a golden triangle, an isosceles triangle where the ratio of the longer side to the shorter side is 1.618, are 36°,72° 72°. The central angle of a regular pentagon is also 72(360°/5=72°). Trigonometry: The golden ratio can be expressed using trigonometric functions of angles related to 72°, such as in the formula for the cosine of 36° or the sine of 54° The Sacred Cubit (or Royal Egyptian Cubit) is an ancient unit of measure, typically 20.6 to 25.26 inches, derived from the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. It was used to design sacred structures like the Giza Pyramids. Discovered and popularized by Slim Spurling in the 1990s, this technology involves measuring a specific length of wire—typically 20.6 inches (52.4 cm) based on measurements from the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza—and twisting/looping it into a "tensor ring". Within the context of Tensor Technology and sacred geometry, the Sacred Cubit is considered to create or resonate at a frequency of 144 MHz (megahertz). Proponents, such as Bruce Cathie and Jain 108, define the speed of light (c) as a "harmonic" value of 144,000 minutes of arc per grid second within a hypothetical universal grid system, rather than the standard physical constant of approximately 3x10^8m/s. •The Tetrahedron totals 720°, (7+2=9) •The Octahedron totals 1440°, (1+4+4=9) •The Cube totals 2160°, (2+1+6=9) •The Icosahedron totals 3600°, (3+6=9) •Dodecahedron totals 6480°. 6+4+8= 18 1+8=9 Unlike the standard tuning of 440 Hz, which is used in most music today, 432 Hz is said to be mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe. It is often referred to as the “frequency of the universe” or the “miracle tone.” •The Cube (Hexahedron - earth) is 2160 degrees, 216 x 2 is 432 Everything is energy. Energy is represented by numbers. Numbers are frozen music. Music is moving sacred geometry of the Uni-verse. Here the tension comes from the interaction between spins causing them to magnetically resonate. For these interactions, we found a series (scale) of resonant notes: The first two notes show a perfect relationship with each other. Their frequencies (pitch) are in the ratio of 1.618…, which is the golden ratio famous from art and architecture. It reflects a beautiful property of the quantum system — a hidden symmetry. Actually, quite a special one called E8 by mathematicians. •The E8 structure itself has relationships to Phi (1.618). The golden ratio is the limit of the ratio of consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. The number 144, which is the 12th Fibonacci number, appears in calculations related to the 25,920-year cycle in some esoteric contexts 144°x180°=25,920° total degrees in a 64-tetrahedra structure's surface). The outer surface of a structure made from 64 tetrahedrons, often referred to as the 64 Tetrahedron Matrix or the Isotropic Vector Matrix (IVM), is composed of 144 equilateral triangles. This complex geometry is significant in sacred geometry and some unified field theories. The 64 Tetrahedron Matrix is a three-dimensional representation that is related to the two-dimensional "Flower of Life" symbol, where the arrangement of spheres around each tetrahedron creates the dense sphere-packing lattice of the Isotropic Vector Matrix. The golden ratio has been reported to appear in the overtones of magnetic resonance at the quantum scale. Some theories propose a mathematical framework where the golden ratio is central to the absorption and emission of light photons (electromagnetic energy) by electrons. This dynamic process is linked to the fine structure constant, a fundamental physical constant relating the electron's charge, Planck's constant, and the speed of light. The ratio of certain color frequencies in the visible light spectrum (e.g., infrared to green and green to ultraviolet) has been posited by some researchers to approximate the golden ratio, suggesting an underlying harmonic principle. Philosophical and theoretical frameworks suggest that the golden ratio acts as a "universal resonance constraint" for frequency in a unified mathematical model of reality and consciousness. Electromagnetic vibrations, such as those from electrons and photons, are thought by some to travel along biological structures like proteins and DNA, where the golden ratio is found in geometric patterns, suggesting a link to biological electromagnetism. The golden ratio emerges in discussions regarding quantum gravity, black hole physics, and even the potential shape of the universe (a dodecahedron based on 1.618) The geometry is considered fractal, meaning it can be scaled infinitely while maintaining its fundamental properties and structure.
