Week 4 ( 22/8/23 - 28/8/23)

Our Lavender is a recent creation by Seeds Mafia that we are cultivating with love and is starting to get serious. autoflowering like this. She is very well and very fit. We started with growth fertilizers that we give in small doses together with the rooting agent throughout the vegetative phase. Music of the week provided by Radio Nula from Slovenia. https://radionula.com/ Thanks to the friends of Seeds Mafia try this and their other creations seeds > https://seedsmafia.com/en/ Light and tent > https://marshydro.eu/products/marshydro-sp3000-led/?lang=it

Hello again guys and welcome to day 89! The girls are taking their time but finally the trichomes are turning milky. As you can see from the videos, they still aren’t quite there yet. I really want them to reach their maximum potential instead of rushing it. I think in maybe a week or so they should be ready! Thanks for stoping by

Hello gardeners! This is my second grow ever, using an slightly improved setup. In my first attempt I was able to harvest 40 + 20 + 20 = 80 grams under not optimal conditions (limited time mostly). Now, with proper time and with a new LED panel for flowering, my goal is to reach 3x40g = 120g total.

They are growing fast and start preflowering. Drinking 1,5l with 2ml fertilize every 36h.

This week we haven't really experience anything too crazy, plant C had a little underwatering issue she got thirsty started to look pretty weak the 1st day of week 6 (for her only) she had recovered by the end of day 1 before going into the dark cycle. As the week progresses we should see some more tricome production and some more development of the bud sites. I'm hoping the underwatering that happened won't stunt or hurt the end yield too bad, that was a bad moment of laziness... whoops. Overall I haven't had any problems yet with pests there's been a lot of gnats and spiders on the outside of the tent but nothing on the inside. For a cheap tent it's working awesome. It does have some light leakaround the zippers but this isn't a problem for me as I'm growing in a darker area already. But if this were in a bright room all the time this tent would be a bad choice. Now as week 7 progresses we'll start seeing more rapid Bud development and see some increased tricome production. To think this girl (plant A) is just barely over halfway done is crazy. I have ended up removing the entire bottom 1/3 of the plant in the form of defoliation of the yellowed and dying leaves. People say don't defoliate Autos for shock reasons I hope it doesn't really matter.

I harvested at 65 days. Dried for about a week and a half at 55% - 60% humidity and about a constant 61 degrees. barely it in the tent to dry and it was just one plant. It made about 200g trimmed , it was way more than I expected. Easily got over 1 gram per watt since I only could keep the light at 75% because it was too close to the plant. Trimming was the easiest Ive had so far and only took a day with a friend.

All my babies bulking nicely buts looking nice and frosty

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. 👀👀👀👀👀👀 Observations and changes 👀👀👀👀👀👀 27.10.25 VW27 noticed some min burnt tips so I decreased Calcium Nitrate 45 to → 40g, decided to add two more elements micros and Epsom salts just to make sure they got everything, Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g, Epsom salts: 8 g 28.10.25 VW27 she seems devoid of any deficiencies, seems ready for the flip to 12/12 02.11.25 VW27 girl is looking good so I decided to stop making daily videos and do a standard once a week update. 09.11.25 aVW28 7 days since flip,stretch in full swing, first pistils showing, leaf color deep and healthy.

Bom, essa semana começaram a sair alguns pistilhos e isso indica que será a última semana dos fertilizantes do vegetativo, ainda não sei específicamente o dia mas vou mudar logo logo. Estou bastante satisfeito com o crescimento delas, é visível que as plantas que tem somente um nó estão crescendo mais rápido que a que tem 2 nós, me dando muito o que pensar sobre os próximos cultivos. O cheiro também começou a espalhar, bem de leves mas consigo sentir invadindo minha casa kkkkkkkkkk gosto muito 🌱💚😁

Looking very good. Healthy roots

Gave them transition nutes this week and they'll be going into the flower room today. 🌺 I grabbed some clones from these girls but they ain't looking too hot rn. The runt I left untapped so hopefully it catches up with the others during the stretch. 🤷‍♂️🏽🌱🌿

Done 🎉🎉🍁

Flowering nicely now. Not drinking a ton of water but I attribute that to lower temps lately.

3/28 - I moved her up to the flower chamber to give her more space to grow height. I think 1 week in here with veg schedule and then I can flip over to flower. I will be removing some shoots crowding things up and probably a good deal of fan leaf cleanup as well She got watered, I think moving here up made her jump back to life 3/30 - flush feed 4/1 - flush feed

42 days!!! The girl has regained her strength and is now putting effort into loading the flowers:) my tent is too small to grow two girls at the same time, so there are always some problems ;) but I think they are in the past and everything will be fine now:) good luck to everyone:)

The harvest was super sticky. I mean fr it was frustrating but we got though it lol. It’s took a week to harvest all the plants with some help too. They all started drying at the same time but each one got cut at different days. Overall they all stink to high hell. I mean super stinky like damn what is that funk at stink. Lol they taste just as they smell and curing will only make them better. I also found some nanners on one of my plants smh ONLY DOWN SIDE

Harvested on week 12 exactly. Was a little worried about bud rot during the early drying phase but it seems it just came out a little less bright green than I am accustomed to as there is no sign of rot after drying has completed and curing started. Don’t have a working scale anymore but my eye scale is legendary and I’d say probably got between a half oz and 3/4 of an oz, but would be shocked if it were over 1 oz. My best guess would be around 18g. Tried a small bit tonight right after I transferred to a jar for curing, nice hashy flavor with some pepper undertones. Smells very fruity in the jar, but definitely can smell the flavor without consuming too. The buzz is pretty nice. Balanced and relaxing but not too sleepy, definitely still functional. Seems it’d be best for lazy afternoons, winding down after a long day, or even laid back social events. Overall very happy with my first grow experience and excited to use what I learned next season. Thanks everyone who answered questions along the way, happy growing!
