D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF
D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF
- water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each
- run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF
D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each
- run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF
D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF
D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF
- water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each
- run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF
D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF
- water: less then a gallon each
- RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF
D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong.
- temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

Day 82.
Its 81 day from seed touched soil ! If leaves would be healthier, i would run them at least one more week, but it is, what it is.
They spent 24 hours in darkness and now its Trim Jail !!! ;)))
Harvest Day !
Day 88. Tried bud from each, clearest weed straight from drying rack ! Only 3 feeds makes huge difference to harshness at the beggining. Still Queen is pure Tangie, can it be seed mistake ? ;)))
Day 89. Boy i am f@ckingly surprised !!! Heather - I love You, Your team, Your strains !!!! I still don't get how, but numbers are amazing, Thank You very much !!!!
Will update this diary as cure goes, but i feel so many nice words were unspoken, felt that FB will change my view about Autos - and they DID !!!
Amazing house !
Happy Growing !

Had quite a defoliation this week, taken most of the big fan leafs off and given their legs a shave. Plenty of flower sites appearing. The plant that has been pale all along is starting to come round now, my own fault for not feeling the weight of the pot and letting it get over watered the Migro aray 4x4s are now at 100%

So far so hairy... 🙏
Hello everyone, another week of flowering, you can already see how the white hair begins to grow beautifully and slowly turn into buds. I think I screwed up the description of which day it is, but when I finally find some time, I will try to verify it for you.
All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇

Welcome
I was wrong to defoliate in the fifth week, the same week I sent them to bloom
Finally begin to bloom, after a week at 12/12 where unfortunately they have vegetated again 😅

I had trouble with my humidifier set up so she only took 5 days to hand dry . Fortunately I purchased a programmable humidifier so moving forward it’s all gravy. After everything was cut from branches & weighed she ended up yielding 20gs of some airy foxtaily bud.
I knew this would be a disappointment so we’ll just wait to see what the smoke is like , what the smell is like , & what the taste is like .

12/26 - Gave her a bucket change today and increased the PK while lowering the EC just a tad - the pH and EC had been telling me for a couple of days that she needed a change and needed more PK but a slightly lower EC ... so that's what she finally got after Christmas stopped my intense care of her. She wasn't unduly upset - but she's showing me some love right now since the bucket and nute change-up... All of her flowers are bulking up nicely and her colors are getting intense - REALLY dark! Friends who stopped by over the weekend were as mesmerized as I am! Cheers to all - next up, NEW YEAR'S EVE and more great growing from all of you!
12/27 - Needing to adjust the pH today which isn't surprising.. always happens after a bucket change but I'll get it stable - meanwhile, she doesn't seem to notice which is just fine by me! Love her!!
12/29 - The lady has the grow closet all to herself now and I've been able to pull her over and down a bit to get the lower buds closer to the light... #2 Bruce is completely out of the tent, harvested and drying... but I've got one coming up - just popped the seed in a glass of water yesterday - but Pinky won't mind, she'll still be the Star of the Show in the tent... Buds are fattening up nicely for a sativa and are, actually, a little surprising to me! She really is a pretty, pretty plant if I do say so myself!

Another week of Veg gone and trying to understand feeding.... My last grow (the one on the balcony) i overwatered at the start so I made sure this time I would not make the same mistake. I dgave a bit more root booster and found some organic Molasses that i added to the 1st feeding. I know its now considered 'food' but more as an activator of microbes in the earth but I'm sure it can't hurt right?
Quite some growth this week, so tried to LST it down a bit... Buuuuut I'm not happy with it, I can forsee spacing problems (should have maybe planted the seeds off-set to one side of the pot to get a better growth going....I'll probably undo the tie-down and just let it grow.

Those colours are so beautiful, the forbidden nectar is turning totally purple in the moment. Her orange smell is incredible.
Kush Pop Clone is producing insane dense buds in these days, thed are also turning a little bit purple. dehumidifier is a must have.
The Rainbow Triangle seems to be the latest plant. She also produces very nice buds

Sooo.... The last week was a bit of a pain in the ass. I flushed the plant on day 14 and just gave the plant plain water for the remainder of week 3 in flower. By about day 18 I started to notice that the leaves were getting a little yellow on the top of my mother plant. The LED lights were only 7 inches from the canopy! I hadn't been paying attention to how much the plant had grown and how close it was to the light. I raised the lights so they are 14 inches above the canopy. I thought that would make the color of the leaves return. However, her condition started to get worse. Several of the fan leaves on the top of the plant started to curl up and fold like tacos. I also noticed that some of the top fan leaves were getting copper colored tops and edges. some of the lower leaves under the canopy began to fall off with severe deformities and grey patches.
Some research into the matter led me to believe that I had nutrient deficiencies. I knew that I had not fed her nutes in almost a week but I don't think that would lead to the plant's current condition as quickly as it did. I then tested the Ph runoff from the pot and it was incredibly acidic! Almost 5.0! My crap Ph pen had crapped out and was giving erroneous readings. I have since flushed the plant again and properly Ph'd the water. Now I have to wait and see if her condition improves. I hope this doesn't affect the yield too much.
Pro Tip: Always calibrate your meters before use!

Everything went Green in this space homies! I'm just controlling the stretch with the net, not to emullate a full scrog, since the net Is from baggage not the scrog purpose to prevent light burn,. Feeding schema Is posted to maintain a small rooster of fertilizers, but barrier was not considered as fertilizer even when it surplus, in this ocassion it has the purpose to future plague prevention & expansion.
Elongation of each plant :
Eleven Roses : In this case they are being a bit low profile compared to other plants, expect that for a indica, that had LST .
Santa Bilbo: they do elongate but a bit more controlled with the top cut & lst combo. This was a tough lesson because i already know the strains , indeed of all as quoted as first week.
G13: But this one buddy still surprises me even being an almost indica legend, they are being one of the most forgiving plant i had know, but stretches way more than i remember !.
Cheers! ☺️

I am going to start my new week 24-11-2019 because the soil is telling that it needs water and it's technically the beginning if the new week so why not.
If you look at the still Pic the leaves look like a deficiency or maybe light burn I did not notice that earlier today.
I have si ce raised the light and I will check tomorrow to see if the color of the leaves have turned green all through the veins where there is some signs of yellowing.
If I see change the maybe both concerns have been addressed because I also increased the ppm's in feeding.

Ehi ragazzi eccoci ancora un altra settimana di fioritura spettacolare! Non mi sarei mai aspettato di avere quasi se non identici risultati tra tutti i componenti Dell Advanced nutrients e questa linea della plagron, vedremo come prosegue il lavoro, ma per ora si può notare come lo stimolatore di fioritura mi sta dando un sacco di densità di calici di fiori, quindi a livello di quantità siamo come i leader di mercato , direi non male per soli 4 componenti! Spero che continui in questo modo e che la densità possa solo che aumentare, e anche la potenza è la qualità dei fiori sembra che plagron stia facendo il suo dovere, deve dire che ho usato il vaso antispiralizzazione, quindi maggiori cicli bagnato!/asciutto forse ho fertilizzato di più delle altre sorelle nella tenda, che le sto tenendo tutte basse come nutrienti poiché costano sti maledetti Advanced, il problema è che i risultati ci sono, quindi uan persona si abitua e prima di provarne dei nuovi e magari nn fate un ciclo come si deve ci pensa magari 2 o 3 volte, ma alla fine farà come ho fatto io, cambierà linea di nutrienti per dei più economici ma alla pari come risultato.. Grazie sempre a Mars hydro che ha reso possibile tutto ciò, è grazie a plagron di farmi partecipare a questa competizione! Buon 420 a tutti alla prossima settimana!! 😺💪😸👊🌱🌿🌲🧑🌾😽💗🔥

Day 63 F: Well here we are at the end of a brilliant grow that has seen totally different mixes of heights and genetics successfully completed under the Mars Hydro fc3000 and my own mix of supersoil. Rhe light managed to keep them all at full tilt even though they were at big , differing canopy heights. If inhad used the middle of the room , I could have covered the canopy a lot better and the light would have easily reached the whole canopy despite their odd height differences. I have a Mars tent that will be perfect for this light to totally fill out with 6 plants once I am back at full production and over this slight delay upcoming.
The soil has been brilliant from the off , even the small Mexican airline #1 that seemed to struggle with the start up and strength of the mix has finished well. I only added ecothrive , eco life cycle and biosys tea throughout the grow with a couple of grams of Megacrop in flower as a booster. The watering in the beds has been very easy to maintain and keep moist and the more shallow depth has helped check at root level and bottom easily. The immobile nature of the bed has meant that using different strains as the 3 is maybe not ideal , workable , but not ideal and needs some forward planning next time out . Besides that , it has been very simple to manage.
The strains have been perfect throughout the weeks with little to no signs of any deficiency. I did remove a lot of fan leaves over the past week to really open the lower parts of the plant to more light for the ripening time . It will also help with the drying time and harvest. There is a lot of really nice colas on these ladies and I cannot recommend the genetics for autos from Fast buds enough. The Strawberry pie finished beautifully and with 2 phenos ro enjoy once dry , I am really looking forward to hitting that one. The six shooter look deadly for the unweary too with their frosty and kush looking purples and reds.
Mexican airline have done a nice job on fattening their buds at the end but the #1 is way less bountiful than her sister. Let's see what a drying period does to their overall yields now. They look so big when 1st hung to dry but it is so disheartening watching them shrink to tiny versions of the originals. The dark period has made them a little more tacky without a doubt and their smells are so obvious going through the plants cutting. Temps are at around 10°c in the room with no lights on so this will be a long ,low and slow dry . I do have the dehumidifier on its highest setting to avoid these fat buds developing any bud rot but the low temps will also be a huge help. I have a nice mix of aromas among these with lemon , fresh cut fruit , candy cane sweet and a spicy fuel . Roll on the harvest and cure now. Hopefully a harvest report will follow within 10-14 days. Be safe and well growmies. The Best Is Yet To Come !

I'm sorry I picked up too early but the botritis was taking over, I preferred an unfinished product than losing everything
