Welcome to my pink rozay x strawberry banana auto diary from original sensible seeds. Veg Days 15-21 Doing well. Have been able to put my RH back up to 70% so expecting much better growth. Hopefully she'll stay in veg for another 2 weeks. But I've yet to have an auto go by 28 Days in veg. Maybe with growth been slow and been started in a big pot she'll grow nice and big. Let's see. She's healthy and I've moved her off onto a new enzyme from Terra Power and took her off the others. Sticking to feeds between 450-550ppm. PH 6.0-2. Base feeds twice a wk. With 1 Epsom salt feed with some cal powder to bring my 110ppm tap to 250-300 and then I also add an enzyme feed that acts also like a follow up water feed. Roughly 4 feeds every 7-9 days, depending breaking base feeds up every 3-4 days. "This will be a common feeding pattern so won't be bringing up much about this again unless adjusted" Have moved most of my plants under my new SP 3000 300w now. Great versatile light. That meets more than my expectations COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO Use code "ggs" at any official marshydro site for a discount.

Vegetation Alonggggg ;P

6/19 Knowing it was going to be over 100° for the majority of the day I WATERED the garden with 3 1/2 gallons. I went to check around 4 and everything looked amazing. We got some hard rain from a thunderstorm at 4pm but it seems like these girls like it rough and did fine. The take a beating and come back stronger. Knock on wood but I haven't seen any problems on the plant I snapped amd dict taped.. Everything seems to have toughened up and the leaves are an awesome healthy color. They grow observable every day now. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 100 again for most of the day before weather goes back to semi normal. I took a video but it will take way to long to upload. Tons of other pics didn't upload either. 6/20 Another day that's going to be over 100°. Plants seem to love it lol. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Bags still had some heft so I didn't water this morning. I figure I'll check them around noon and then plan on watering tonight if they need it. Hopfully they'll get some rain from thunderstorms. This crop has been through a lot. I think that has helped them significant deal with this unpredictable weather. 6/21 We had a MAJOR thunderstorm with sheet rain yesterday. I missed it but it was intense. I saw some videos. First time dad seemed concerned. Fortunately there was no damage. I was going to water today but I decided to hold off due to the look of the plants and the "praying leaves" at 4pm and feeling some moisture in the soil. Bags seemed to still have some heft. I'll probably water tomorrow. Need to transplant the 1 gals and need to figure out what I want to do for nutes this year. So far I've put in much less effort and I'm still doing great. I just don't have as many plants as usual. 6/22 Rained last night. Not much but the bags were heavy still so I held off watering. Plants looked happy and I can fix under watering much easier. It will rain tomorrow. I'll check throughout the day and update but things are going good. I should transplant those 3 seedlings in 1 gals. 6/23 It Rained last night and is suppised to rain today. It was raining when i went over. Just the kind if rain the plants love. I'll check again before church but I'm eventually going to have to water them. Those thunder storms helped a lot. 6/24 Rained about an inch yesterday. Plants loved it. Bigger everytime I see them. One seedling showed a pistol and I'll transplant it with the rest. It was the only one I was worried about. I've seen a FEW leaf hopper punctures and some other bites that could be anything. Time to get the ipm 6/25 Looks like its gonna be a nice sunny day. 75° at 10am. Plants are doing amazing and growing at a rapid pace. Haven't done anything ipm as of yet but any damage I've seen is localized to "A" leaf on "A" plant. I'll be paying attention and watching for signs of deficiencies. As of now though they LOOK great. I'll try to transplant the 3 seedlings today.

Day 71 maybe at the end of the week i will harvest Lemon Cherry Cookie first 😍👌 Day 72 looks very good buds and terps 😃🙏 Day 73 the final countdown startet 😍👌

Day 56 Flower Day 7 MAg issue seems to have gone away. they are kinda stretching

Officially week 7 Dec 31: Came back a week later to very heavy pots, needed 36 hour drying period, not happy, smaller plant has tips of leaves curling down, some like taco, dryed out the pots and went back to normal conservative feeding, need to fine tune the auto irrigation setup before I use it again for sure. All in all, nothing crazy happened. Really cool to see a plant be small, but way bigger after a week of vacation. First grow seems to be going pretty good! PS: I think my hygrometer is broken, saying 85-100% RA even when I significantly improve airflow and it doesn't seem anywhere near that. Gonna do the salt paste test on the hygrometer . Jan 1: I recalibrated my hygrometer and it’s working great, weird leaf curling of smaller plant still happening but seems to be improving, big plant is frosty and fat for week 7, seems to be at same stage in development as smaller plant but the pheno is beautiful.

I havent been keeping a day by day through this week (More for my sanity than anything else) as I was starting to become a tad obsessed, resulting in this feeling like the end result is even further away. So ive tried to take a more relaxed approach in checking the enviroment throughout the day due to the heat wave we're experiancing. Ive been struggling to keep the humidity high enough, with it regularly sitting around 25-30%. Need a better humidifier but dont have the space on this current one to get a "Smart" one that will regulate for me. Relying on a naff one little one from amazon that has an auto off feature and just doesnt seem to throw out enough vapour. However this is valuable information for the next run! GG4 - I removed the damaged leaves, as these we're not bouncing back once the pH issue had been rectified. This has allowed for further space for growth which has been filled nicely. This has also been topped this week. Im concerned that im at a height limit within my tent, and currently sitting in the sweet spot for topping autos. Hopefully this will keep it within the parameters of my tent and promote more bud sites! All in all, this has really started to push on, and im so pleased that its bounced back from the start of a pH issue. LST has meant that height measurements are a little scewed now. Explorer - This has been steady away since day 1, this week it recieved its LST which is already showing signs of further growth. Seems to bulking itself up a bit now, the difference between last week and this week are night and day! Cindy - Starting to catch up to explorer in terms of growth however is seemingly staying squat for now. Im going to give it a few more days before its LST. Ariel - My sadest princess was refusing to bounce back from my mistreatment within the 3 gal pot and was taking up precious space and not pulling her weight. Therefore shes been moved into a nursery pot where she will live out the rest of her days in peace. My poor girl...... Shes starting to pull through though! Due to the heat weve been experiancing it seems that ive been watering more frequently, if not every day at least every other day. Ive tried to back off on how much im watering to compensate and relying on the weight of the pot and also my moisture meter to tell me when to water. HOPEFULLY it keeps me right

Semana 2 Ec : 1600 Ph : 6.3-6.4 Se descartaron 2 plantas por ser machos las demas lucen espectacular con muy buen color solo queda esperar y ver como se forma lo que seran las flores de estas bellas plantas🏔️

Excited to see seed germ, then they have taken to soil. Its like being a parent all over again I just want them to flourish lol. Need to get my vent sorted and my humidity down gradually but going well. Few issues with a stuck seed shell. Stumpy will and is getting some extra help. DIY C02 is working a treat too 👍👍

Light deffol was needed just to remove the leaves with neuit burns caused by watering and splashing starting to reduce the ppm to plain rain water. shes looking good what you think?? any ideas what the buds are going to be size,weight has anyone grown this strain before? i recon coke cans size i hope

Just feeding it at the moment. Still not to sure if it's male or female yet. She is female 😁.

Just About DONE! Probably gonna chop halfway through the week! Trichomes look great!!! This was very excited that it finished a week earlier than my normal grows!

Amazin genetics. Had to clean the plant for more light . Plant react good to the lolipop ,lets see how much it will be effective . Again the ec rise to 5 -6 well my only hope is flahing every couple days . Had to rise the aquarium pump time to 30 min at the lights up . Still shows a leaf burn ,last day of this week..

Day 7 of flower the strech is picking up starting to bush and creating buds sites every were

Tag 77 / Blüte Tag 17 Endlich ist das Fenster zu gebrauchen Die Pflanzen stehen hervorragend da. Der dreistellige Zentimeterbereich ist geknackt – 1-Meter-Marke erreicht! 🎉 Allen voran die White Gushers 33, die aktuell minimal die Nase vorn hat. Die Kush ist etwa einen Zentimeter kleiner, wirkt insgesamt etwas heller und noch nicht ganz so weit. Die Gushers zeigt sich dagegen schon deutlich weiter, was Reife und Lichtreaktion angeht. Der Stretch läuft spürbar aus. Genau so, wie er soll. Ein paar Zentimeter dürfen es von mir aus noch sein – aber bitte jetzt nicht mehr eskalieren 😅 Meine Wunschhöhe lag eigentlich bei 96 cm😉, die ist inzwischen überschritten, aber gut: Das Zelt lebt noch, ich auch. Ein Umknicken möchte ich nach Möglichkeit vermeiden, und aktuell sieht es so aus, als würde die Energie jetzt endlich in die Breite und Struktur gehen. Erste Anzeichen einer Stretch-Verlangsamung sind klar erkennbar. Blütentechnisch sind wir bei Tag 17. Die Pflanzen sind inzwischen deutlich mit Härchen (Pistillen) versehen, die Blütenansätze sind klar sichtbar – und genau deshalb warte ich mit dem großen Eingriff noch ein paar Tage. Der Friseurtermin ist aber fest eingeplant: Es wird Zeit, die Klingen zu schärfen ✂️ Die Entlaubung wird kein Spaß, da ist ordentlich Material dran. Ziel ist ganz klar: Luft, Licht, Fokus auf die Blüten. In der kommenden Woche steht dann auch wieder eine Mikroben-Gabe an. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sie darauf reagiert – idealerweise genau dann, wenn sie voll in der aktiven Blütenproduktion angekommen ist. Einen weiteren Wachstumsschub brauche ich jetzt definitiv nicht mehr. Jetzt darf sie liefern. Und dann dieser Moment: Das Fenster im Growzelt macht endlich Sinn. Man schaut rein – und sieht nicht mehr nur Grün und Stretch, sondern direkt davor echte Blütenbildung. Das ist diese Phase, auf die man Wochen lang hinarbeitet. Eine richtig schöne Zeit im Grow. Ich freue mich sehr auf die kommende Blütephase. Jetzt beginnt der Teil, für den man das alles macht 🌸✨ Finally, the window actually makes sense” The plants are looking excellent. We’ve crossed into the three-digit centimeter range — the one-meter mark is done! 🎉 Leading the way is White Gushers 33, which is currently just a bit ahead. The Kush is about one centimeter shorter, slightly lighter in color, and overall doesn’t seem quite as far along yet. The Gushers, on the other hand, already looks a bit more advanced, especially in how it’s responding to the light. The stretch is clearly slowing down now — exactly how it should. A few more centimeters would still be fine, but no more wild growth, please 😅 My target height was originally 96 cm, which we’ve now unfortunately exceeded. Still, everything is under control. I’d really prefer not to bend her over again, and right now it looks like the energy is finally shifting from vertical growth into width and structure. The first clear signs of reduced stretching are definitely there. In terms of flowering, we’re at Day 17 overall. The plants are now clearly covered in pistils, with visible bud sites forming — which is why I’ll wait a few more days before doing the major cut. That said, the hairdresser appointment is already scheduled: the blades need sharpening ✂️ There’s going to be a lot of defoliation. Plenty of material on these plants. The goal is clear: better airflow, better light penetration, and full focus on flower development. Sometime next week, the next microbial feeding is planned. I’m really curious to see how they respond — ideally right when they’re fully locked into active flower production, so they can really use that boost. Another growth push is the last thing I want at this stage. And then there’s this moment: The grow tent window finally makes sense. You look inside, and instead of just green stretch, you now see actual flower formation right in front of you. This is the phase you wait weeks for. A really beautiful part of the grow. I’m genuinely looking forward to the coming flowering phase. This is where it all comes together 🌸✨

Switched over to bloom Booster tablets now the preflowers are showing I think the roots have filled the pots as they drink it dry every day! Especially the tallest! No LST just a few fans nipped of or the odd blade that's blocking light has been removed, and its helped! My HPS is leeching calcium from my tops but the bloom booster has 40% more cal/mag in them so we should be good. I just rotate the plants and it seems to get the green back in the leaves. Its technically 6 weeks from sprout BTW. Thanks for watching, any tips feedback welcome. Update- so the stretch hasn't stopped. 5" since Friday, I thought I was guna get small autos lol So I decided to do some lollipoping on all the plants And some defoliation. I've supercropped the death out of my Trouble plant, I mean every branch even the top! but she's back on track and growing again! Will update Friday!

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!!

12/18 4am CANNAKAN!!!! Giving my FAST Flowers a try. A late spring early summer grow. CannaKan is my new best friend, I had a 100 per cent success rate last time!!! Ok I got it all done at 5:30 am, I set the Temp to 88 MPH or the Time Machine wont work, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT! Marty will meet me in the parking lot at the mall, I have a great feeling about this. 11am Room temperature is 73. Heating Pad set to 88. Water temp 77.7 PERFECT!! 2:30pm blue dream is already starting to open. I think Tropicana cookies looks like she’s opening a little bit. They should all be open by tomorrow. It’s only been about nine hours.👍👍. 11:30pm They all opened. I drained the water put in new distilled water, made sure water level was right. Looks great!!!! 12/19 4am The temp looks good, all are opening nicely. I have to get the pots ready now, put on new stickers, they help identify the plants from different angles, especially in photos. Im doing a low power fast turn around grow in easy to move 1 gallon pots. They will all be topped above the 3rd node, then the bottom or 2nd to the bottom branches will be cut off to achieve a 4 cola grow. Very simple, easy to manage. 11am. 2:30pm, 5:30pm..so tired, finish in the morning. 12/20 12 am 1:30am Just finished TC & GS I had a little trouble seating GS, TC no problems, takes a while to learn. BD is still sprouting, not a long enough tail to bury yet. 9am I think im getting another CannaKan. 10am 👍👍👍 12/21 Put BD in the pot, not sure if she will go or not, I'm firing up the CannaKan and doing another, since its a photo I will keep it in Veg until my next grow cycle. I may do a full 3 gallon grow with this one and take clones, this is fun!!!! gardening, who knew? The new filter paper I got is a little thicker than what came with it takes longer to sink, more dramatic, I got medium in that blue box from amazon. 7am Tropicana Cookies is the Winner of fastest to sprout, she looks great! GS has the shell and skin, it could still fall naturally so I'll wait. BD is unchanged. Micro-surgery on TC got the skin off and she popped right open!! 12:30pm SUCCESS!!! 4 hours later, she's PERFECT, worked GREAT!!! I NEVER thought I would be able to do seed surgery. That was my 3rd time doing that, success every single time! 4pm looks good. 12/22 9am. all look great, GS is taking off VERY strong overnight, TC has taken root her main stalk is already thick!! BD #2 is almost ready. I kept BD#1 underwater too long...then I accidentally ripped her head off this morning......so really not my fault......shhhhh..... 1 pm BD looks perfect 🤩 almost ready. 330pm Did the transplant...I really need to work on that....so nervous when I do it. Im not paid for this but CannaKan is one of the best products Ive ever used. I need lots of practice planting the radicles ...""In botany, the radicle is the first part of a seedling (a growing plant embryo) to emerge from the seed during the process of germination. The radicle is the embryonic root of the plant, and grows downward in the soil (the shoot emerges from the plumule)""..... I had to look radicle up... It makes a complete difference, I dont lose seeds now It just a million times easier using CannaKan.

Around 25g off no.3 pulled early due to spider mite making a comeback! No.1 started to rot at the top overdid the STS spray. No.2 is an absolute beast, lovely smell coming off it really impressed. Will not be doing el natural ever again definitely get alot more off topped and trained plants. Enormous bud though was what I was aiming for!

i will up date weight when i have finished trimming
