Day 71 Update: Watered both plants with almost a gallon until runoff. Water was just plain pH balanced water. Plant #1 has 5 days left on flush and Plant #2 has 11 days left on flush. Although with my tent filling up, I will probably harvest Plant #1 tomorrow as I don't think 4 days of being in there will make a difference in the end product. Day 72 Update: Harvested Plant #1 today. Plant #2 has 10 days left on flush. Day 74 Update: Watered plant with 3/4gal of pH balanced water until runoff. Plant #2 has 8 days left on flush. Also, added another stake to help support a heavier branch. Day 76 Update: Placed buds from Plant #1 in jars to start curing...maybe a little bit too long drying, but if that's the case I'll toss a boveda pack in. Plant #1's yield was 57.2g or 2oz 1.2g. Plant #2 will be harvested sometime next week and I will update the harvest page as soon as buds are dried and weighed.

Day 78 - Starting off week 12 and couldn’t be happier. Things are going good and just gave her a feeding today. This will be the last week of feed and will flush with Sledgehammer next week. Quite a few fan leaves are really starting to fade in color and die off, telling me she’s probably towards the end of life. Hopefully there’ll be some fattening these last 2 weeks before chopping. Attempted some trich pics but can’t hold steady enough so didn’t turn Putnam so well but we’re just about 100% milky from what I can tell. Day 79 - Looks like a change in plans and most likely will chop this weekend. Overnight she popped a lot of amber trichs. Even the bottom buds with less light and are about 20-30% amber. I don’t want it going too much further than that so I’ll do a big flush tomorrow and most likely chop either Friday or Saturday. Day 80 - Final day before chopping. Put 5 gallons of water with the Sledgehammer through for a flush and all is looking good. Put together a new drying box today so we’ll see how that works out for the drying process. Seen some videos on it and looks like it should work. Will be chopping tomorrow and so ready!

So everything took off in flower, I was super harsh with the defoliating which initially I regretted, but was surprised with how they packed out during the following weeks. In general it's impressive how hardy these plants are. Even the outdoor grows yielded some quality. Add some more nuets (overdrive and carbo load), before flushing about 14 days before harvest, next time I'll do this earlier and really the Runtz could have gone another week but my drying needs to happen in the same space as my growing for now. Apologies for the quality of image, I'm just using my phone and some bits I have to document, I collect records too, so expect weird noises lol. Build a rotating plat from a lazt susan I found, has been the best piece of kit added this season.

🌸 Signs of flowering showing now as pistils begin to develop on all four plants after changing the light cycle to 12/12. I decided to add a scrog net this week to help even out the canopy as they begin to stretch over the next couple of weeks. ✌️

Day 1: Paper towel method was used. Made sure plastic container stayed in a dark and warm place. Day 2: Seed has cracked but no tail yet. Day 3: Started to worry seed won’t germinate so top tissue paper was replaced with new dry one. Used warm water to wet the new paper towel. After 12 hrs crack in seed got wider little tail started to appear. Day 4: Repeated method used in Day 3. Warm water used on new paper towel. Day 5: Germinated seed placed in jiffy peat pellet and placed in propagator. Day 6: no change yet. Put propagator in window for sunlight. Day 7: no change so decided to intervene. Checked to see if seed cracked. Slowly removed the remaining shell. Covered with soil. Day 8: Seed has sprouted. Put propagator under the sun for 9 hrs, and after it stsrted to open its first leaves. Day 9: She’s enjoying the sun. Day 10: Last day in the sun. Soil mix prepared and washed with water (ph 6.5). Transfer to 15L fabric pot tomorrow.

1 Leaf is obviously 1 tough customer....but is he tough enough? Can he hang with the present level of toughness he possesses? Watch and find out! (apparently my plant thinks it's a dude) Defoliated pretty heavily toward the end of the week. partly to try to stunt growth a bit but also promote more growth once it kicks in. Got a log jam going in my flower tent and not sure what to do. May just designate 3 mothers then cram 3 in to flower in a few weeks when its opened up. This is what happens when you feel like you cant throw away anything that might be clone-able. I've gotten past it thankfully and learned a lesson in how to time things next time.

This week I continued with LST and while I bend down my Kush on day 39, the stem bent over. I could fix it and within some days the plant repaired the injury quite well. At the end of the week I was surprised how good she handled this big stress. This is not the most beautiful of my plants but I love her like the other ones. 😍

Room is still yellowing quite a bit prematurely. I’m going to feed once more and adjust ph back to 6-7. I’m starting to cut my RO water with filtered tap water at 1:5 ratio, to stabilize the ph a little more and to see if the tap water can help with deficiencies I’ve been seeing. I have heard that it’s not good to add calmag in mid flower and I really don’t want to mess with heavy metals that could affect the way the plant smokes. The powdery mildew has come back. It is only affecting the cheese, slurricane and black garlic #2. All three of these plants are in the same corner so it must be something I’m doing environmentally. That’s the coldest part of the tent so maybe the added fans are letting it get too cold. The small fan I added is probably unnecessary and I might move it to my veg tent. If the powdery mildew keeps getting worse, I’m just going to let it ride out and then wash the final product. I should have trained and topped these in veg a lot better but I got lazy and didn’t want to.

En su Nuevo suelo y con los microbios ganaron vigorosidad, las hojas están frondosas, y sus tallos engordaron, la verdad siento que prometen mucho 😈

The girl is fantastic :) she looks strong, healthy and happy :) next week, I will defoliate her to give energy to the flowers, and at the same time improve air circulation closer to the stem :) everything is going smoothly and well :).

Struggling a touch with cold temps at day and night but now swapped the 400mh for a 600hps for the last few days of veg to up temps a touch. Will initiate flower in a couple of days and all looks good. Limited height room in this chamber so plants are a little smaller than I normally would have liked.

420 Fastbuds Gelato Auto Week 5 Hello fellow growmie's hope all is good in the grow world. This week it's been fun deciding to defoliate and lollipoping them before they transition to flower. Still no preflower sites so excited to see these girls grow. I have since sprout sprayed once a week 50ml per gallon of PureCrop1 and it has proven up to the hype as a top contender for preventive maintenance and pest control. I haven't done anything to special so I'd say an easy strain to grow for any level as it seems. All in all Happy Growing

I was pleasantly surprised by the yield from these 2. Plant #1 (back left this grow) yielded a whopping 4.79 ounces, my 2nd biggest producer this grow! #2 yielded 3.57 ounces, which while the lowest of the 4, is still an extremely respectable yield for a single plant in a 4 plant tent! Especially one that received as little attention as this one did. #2 remained resilient the entire grow, however due to the placement of my tent received the least amount of attention/defoliation, which is consistent with its yield. #1 was more easily accessible, and while it did have cal mag & ph issues early on, still received significant defoliation and care, hence the larger yield. Overall very happy with this strain, I have 3 of these seeds on hand, so there’s a good chance you’ll see another Critical Orange Punch diary from me in the future! Thanks again to everyone for their comments, advice, and support! I’ll be starting a new grow/diary in a few weeks, so keep an eye out! Until then, happy growing!!
