Not much has happened at all :( Very slow grow, feel like i am not doing something correct since i started using coco :/

Starting to see trichomes develop, buds are fattening by the day. Video to end the week

So it’s the end of Week 5, Day 35 for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL auto flowering grow. I have come to the conclusion that these four plants are not going to be XL after their pre-flower stretch. Overall the plants are healthy but the prolonged low humidity and temperatures have robbed them of the vigorous growth documented in my previous Sweet Seeds diary (Cream Mandarine XL Autos). I am disappointed that this will most likely be an XS harvest but a tiny quantity of quality bud is better than nothing. I gave them their first feeding of GHE FloraNova Grow fertilizer at a rate of 1.25 ml/gallon and this is 1/4 of a full dose that would be given to a photosensitive strain. I am still watering every fourth day at a rate of 2.8 litres per plant or 0.7 of a litre per plant per day. I will only be using the fertilizer every other watering or every eight days. That’s about it for this update and on to… Mom’s Tip for Week #5- To Tuck or Take? The when, where, why and how to defoliate Autoflowers successfully…. Lets start with some basic Biology- Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants take in sunlight, water and Carbon Dioxide and transform it into energy in the form of sugars that feed the plant and make it grow. So essentially, every fan leaf on your plant is a solar panel collecting light and therefore valuable in it’s own right. I always try to tuck my leaves if possible before considering removal as my plants need all the energy they can get to power through until harvest. But sometimes tucking isn’t enough or just isn’t an option anymore so here are my suggestions for taking the fan leaves from your Cannabis plants if needed. When- defoliating Autos can be done anytime throughout the grow although it’s generally not done within the first 3-4 weeks. The plants are usually quite small and those early weeks are valuable growing time that these plants simply can’t afford to miss. This is when I find leaf tucking to be most valuable, allowing the plants to keep what few solar panels they have while also allowing the grower to position the leaves so that they are out of the way. I personally find that I defoliate my plants the most over the final 3-4 weeks of the grow as foliage is dying off on it’s own by that point and a few less leaves at harvest time is always a good thing! Of course anytime you see dead/dying or diseased foliage, it should be removed as needed throughout the grow. Where- defoliating Autos is a delicate balance due to their small size and short lifespan. If my plants are healthy, thriving and tucking is no longer an option, I will only remove fan leaves if they are covering/blocking new growth or potential bud sites. As the plants age and the foliage begins to die off naturally, I tend to remove the oldest, lowest growth first working my way up the plant as needed until harvest. Why- defoliating Autos is done for a few basic reasons but only as an extreme in my garden when all else fails. Removing certain large leaves will allow more light into the lower portion of the plant’s canopy reaching young branches or potential bud sites. As the plants age, it also helps with increasing airflow around your swelling buds thus reducing your risks for mold and fungi in humid grow environments. Removing any and all dead/dying or diseased foliage is absolutely necessary in keeping your plants healthy and the grow room clean and pest free. How- defoliating Autos is simple if you keep it simple. Only remove what you absolutely have to and use a sterilized set of sharp pruners for a clean, controlled cut. As the plants age and the foliage begins to die off naturally, just wait. What doesn’t fall off on it’s own will snap off with a simple twist of the leaf’s stem. If the leaves don’t come off with ease, they’re just not quite ready yet so be patient. Be mindful that removing the solar panels from your Cannabis plants is always risky business but Autoflowers are even more challenging in their own way. Smaller plants with a lower leaf to bud ratio and a short lifespan means less room for error so paying close attention to the when, where, why and how is crucial for successfully defoliating Autoflowers. Tuck if you can, only take what you absolutely have to and of course- never take more than 25% of your plant’s overall foliage at one time as this can be devastating or deadly to even the healthiest of plants. Allow your plants to take the lead and they will show you which leaves are ready to go- at what time, all on their own just as nature intended.

Doctors Choice = Cali Crasher Hello 👋 guys, I took the pictures the other day and never did my update on here 😆 🤣 I apologize I'm in the middle of C treatments right now and things get so messed up for me 😆 These ladies are still swelling up and stinking up the growroom, it's a good sweet smell I still say they smell like Dr Pepper. I did some defoliation on the left plant it's like days from the chop 😁 ✂️ the other one has a little more to go Thank you Doctors Choice and Mars Hydro Mars-Hydro.com and doctorschoice.farm coupon code "Cyrus"

Harvested the Clones! I'm stoked how #4 grew out, I think she's the winner! With limited space in my grow, I'm only going to be able to bloom out the rest of the phenos clones to week 3-4.. The show must go on.. It's the price I must pay for using non-ideal cloning methods... Next round of phenohunting will have 100% cloning success, using my new aeroponics cloning machine.

Videos for week 5

The wedding cake in the top right of the pics is showing a slight sensitivity to the feed and has nutrient burn on some leaves, but the strawberry cough on the left hand side is being as good as ever not had any issues with it so far one of the easiest strains I've grown to date

DAY 21 FLOWERING: Well it had to happen eventually!!! . I knew it would come to this point.....I had to be brutal and practical as I evicted the Gorilla cookies and the mutant Northern light to a different space... I now have the #1 Northern lights and the Grandaddys Mimosa directly under the XS1500 to really develop them both to the best I can. The light has done a great job developing all 5 to this point and I do think it could have finished them all at a push but , I think seeing how it can grow 2 auto plants in a 2x2 space will be worth the change of plan. I am impressed with this little light and never expected such a growth rate . I really would love to test their new p4000 to see what that beast can do. The northern lights has really worked hard this week on her bud structuring , she looks like she will be stacking her colas on each limb , just the way we like em in the space I have. I did take a little more weak lower growth out of her to focus on the stronger mains as we have hit the point of no more defol . She wont regrow leaf after this point now so the ones remaining will be all she has to power the photosynthesis during flowering. Sugar leaves do not do the same work as the fan leaves and with them being autos , I feel we need the extra boost more than in a photoperiod run. She looks like stretch has finished now too so her size is nice and stocky so she wont need to transfer nutes too far from the roots either. Grandaddys mimosa is also really developing some nice looking golf ball buds all over. She looks like she will be a long cola girl too which is perfect to keep the canopy and light distribution as even as possible with the Northern lights too. She smells a little fruity already and the hint of her Mimosa lemon father is also really evident. So far so good . The 2 Gorilla cookies and the other northern lights are all looking great after being grown under this light and I will include their harvest data in the diary at the end to avoid the diary going haywire. All in all this is going great now and continues to impress me with the capability of this unit. Come on #viparspectra , send me a p4000. Lol Be safe and well growmies.

Froze one entire plant immedietly upon harvest to turn into live rosin later. Dried other plant for 8 days in grow tent and began curing on 5/19/22.

Cinderella out the tent and right before harvest

I started in with the maximum ppm of about 1500 on a fresh reservoir and a ph of 6.1. I also went full strength with beastie blooms 0-50-30 at 1 tablespoon for 6 gallons of water. The white hairs are turning orange now which is the sign of times to BULK UP! My diary seems to be a little off on this 45-55 day flower as today we mark day 37 of 12-12.

I will be growing her again, as I feel like I let her down, by letting her PH drift so low.. Other than that, she grew beautifully, and fumes of potency as you gaze at her! She yielded more than I expected! She's not that far below my previously lowest yielding plant! :)

Der Reifeprozess der Permanent Marker erreicht eine neue Stufe der Intensität, wobei die enorme Trichomproduktion mittlerweile jeden Millimeter der Blütenkelche und Zuckerblätter mit einem frostigen Schleier überzieht. Diese massive Harzbildung lässt die Colas unter dem Licht förmlich glitzern und zeugt von der außergewöhnlichen Qualität der Traphouse Genetics Genetik. Während die Buds weiter an Dichte gewinnen, verfärben sich die Stigmen zunehmend dunkler, was das nahende Finale der Blütephase ankündigt. Die Pflanze steht stabil im Saft und fokussiert ihre gesamte Energie auf die Terpenanreicherung und das Anschwellen der Kelche, was diesen Run zu einem echten Highlight macht.

Привет садоводы ! началась новая неделя и я пока решил не переводить растение на цветение и дать ему еще неделю это будет и хорошо для авто цветущих они к сожалению задержались в посылке на 2 недели и уже не успевают на вегетативный световой режим хотя 1 цветок я уже убираю на ночь в режиме 12/12 и он уже почти зацвел растения чувствуют себя хорошо а в новом боксе им стало просторнее

Esta semana aplique delta 9 de manera folear, 2 ml por cada planta y un litro de agua, se recuperaron un poco de la defoliación.

Day 37 For the Monkey. She had started to show some pistols. The monkey arms are starting to climb. She is healthy and thirsty and live the treats i give now and then

The Fruit Spirit is flowering amazing. There is heads everywhere and it’s looking very healthy. 3G is Growing great and is flowering perfect. This week i add some coffee in the soil. I increased the light with 2 hours more.

Доброе всем времени суток Сорт Kerosene Krash от Dutch Passion Это мой первый репорт за последние 7 лет. И так, с чего бы хотелось начать. Моей растишки сейчас ровно 48 дней, 34 дней как считаю вегу, планирую еще дней 10-14 продержать на веге. На двинатцтый день веги была сломана центровая ветьв(перегнул), стал отталкиваться от новых реалей и решил сформировать такую широкую клону. Для этого я все эти дни гнул боковые стебли, а вчера отрезал у всех боковых их центр(для того чтоб куст тал более широким и его боковые стебли стали более крепкими), кроме одного степбля, не трогал самый слабый. В дальнейшем буду ставить сетку. Сейчас поливаю через день по 3 литра Полил ( 607ppm )- 1л Carboload - 2мл/л; 1 день веги Полил ( 576ppm )- 1л Carboload - 2мл/л; 3 день веги Полил ( 493ppm )- 1л Carboload - 2мл/л; Piranha - 2мл/л; VooDoo Juice - 2мл/л; Tarantula - 2мл/л; 5 день веги Полил ( 476ppm )- 1л Carboload - 2мл/л; B-52 - 2мл/л 7 день веги Полил ( 535 ppm) -3л Carboload - 2мл/л 9 день веги Полил 3л Cal-mag Xtra - 1мл/л; Sensizym -2мл/л; Carboload - 2мл/л 11 день веги Полил ( 490ppm )- 3л Carboload - 2мл/л; Piranha - 2мл/л; VooDoo Juice - 2мл/л; Tarantula - 2мл/л; 12 день веги Полил ( 386ppm )- 3л Carboload - 2мл/л; B-52 - 2мл/л 14 день веги Полил ( 457ppm )- 3л Carboload - 2мл/л; 16 день веги Полил 3л Cal-mag Xtra - 1мл/л; Sensizym -2мл/л; Carboload - 2мл/л 18 день веги Полил ( 537ppm )- 3л Carboload - 2мл/л; Piranha - 2мл/л; VooDoo Juice - 2мл/л; Tarantula - 2мл/л; 20 день веги Полил ( 688ppm )- 3л Carboload - 2мл/л; B-52 - 2мл/л 22 день веги Полил ( 551 ppm) -3л Carboload - 2мл/л 24 день веги Пролил 15 минут под душем 26 день веги Полил ( 576ppm )- 3л Carboload - 2мл/л; Piranha - 2мл/л; VooDoo Juice - 2мл/л; Tarantula - 2мл/л; 28 день веги Полил ( 613ppm )- 3л Carboload - 2мл/л; B-52 - 2мл/л 30 день веги Полил ( 836 ppm) -3л Carboload - 2мл/л 32 день веги Полил 3л Cal-mag Xtra - 2мл/л; Sensizym -2мл/л; Carboload - 2мл/л 34 день веги

This plant has been a pure pleasure to grow. I took a few bud off this week as I was worried about bud bandits taking her. They are out in force in my neck of the woods. She has really put on some interesting colouring. She smells so damn GOOD!! Dinafem nails dit with these genetics!! Full chop is imminent!! 😎🍿

Buenas farmers!! Después de pasarnos tres dias con sólo agua volveremos con la mitad de nutrientes durante los próximos dos riegos, ya empezamos a prepar nuestras plantas para la fase final ! Un olor espectacular y mucha resina espero guste buenos humos family!💚
