Last vegetating week, I'll flip tomorrow on the 14th. I got an auto drying in the tent which is the only place where I can do it, so she's now waiting for let's hope less than 3 days in my bathroom. I fixed the light to the ceiling and to the walls in the same set-up as in the tent. With one less plant in the tent, I was also able to expand the stems to the sides to let more light in the center. Week breakdown: 2021-03-07: Nothing to read. 2021-03-08: Nothing to read. 2021-03-09: I could finally identify one male plant and removed it from the tent. Plus the other auto plant in the tent is almost done. I will do the switch at the end of this week. 2021-03-10: Nothing to read. 2021-03-11: Nothing to read. 2021-03-12: Last feeding before the flip, still with 8ml of each in 2L of water. 6.5pH 23,7C 1284ppm 2021-03-13: She's now in the bathroom waiting for her sister to dry in the tent. I reshaped the LST to expand the stems to the sides to let more light in the middle and I will flush her tonight and defoliate one last time.

First week of flower and sheโ€™s starting her stretch. Did a round of light defoliation. Iโ€™m going to remove smaller flowering sites once sheโ€™s stopped her stretch. For now Iโ€™m going to let her do her thing unless she gets too big for the tent.

this is a great auto flower she does what an auto should with little tender needed but with a decent light and good size pot the potential is great for a huge lemony harvest shes one of the easiest most resilient plants iv grown as shes not had the best run at all and has still done well she was only under the Mars hydro epistar120 with another auto and plants that I have in veg and still produced well would recommend to all growers new and old thanks to all who help comment and like and make the site a good place to be happy growing guys

Defoliated on day 82. Flowers are starting to get sticky on sugar leaves & the pine smell is picking up but not as strong as expected the Gelato buds are starting to amber up. Think I'm going to up the Foliage Pro a ml as is see some yellowing since I switched up the ratio.

This week has been cold in the grow room with day time temps at 16c and night time around 12-13c. Growth this week has been quite slow and I wonder what has the biggest impact on growth rate. Is it temperature, light intensity or soil moisture levels? I've had the light at 25% since germination and wonder if it would be beneficial to start increasing the light levels or wait until they're more established before doing this. If anyone happens to read this and has thoughts about how to encourage faster growth, I'd be interested to hear.

The girls are looking great! I took off the last few leaves under the net. Itโ€™s been raining almost nonstop for a week so the humidity is a little on the high side. Iโ€™m going to flush them today and then switch to the flowering feeding schedule.

3/13/2024 - Day 15 Flower: Ran into some issues after the last watering. The newest leaves have some severe curling going on, and I've had a few leaves with some minor brown spotting. I'm not 100% sure what caused it, but narrowed it down to either TeaCo Super Tea, Recharge, or the foliar spray I did with Dr. Zymes Eliminator. I did the foliar at lights out, but maybe there was still some residue when the light came back on. Either way, I'm taking it easy on this watering. Gave them 4 gallons of 6.5 ph water mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Coconut Powder, and a half dose of Rootwise Bio-Catalyst and Yah-Whey. The curling does not seem ro be getting worse, so hopefully they will grow out of this. Also, they have started to slow on rhe stretching, which is good, because they are getting close to the light. 3/14/2023 - Day 16 Flower: So I've been looking at some of the more deformed leaves and I'm pretty sure the leaf curl and brown is from the Dr. Zymes. The leaves with issues appear to have a slight glossy residue to them. I'm guessing when the Dr. Zymes dried on the leaves, it had a reaction when the light came back on. Now that I'm into week 3 of flower, I plan to cut out any foliar sprays, so hopefully I'm right an the issue won't get worse. I had some seeds that I sprouted and forgot to use yesterday, so I made a 2 gallon Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) and added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos, and a half dose of Fermented Comfrey Extract and Fermented Peach Extract. 3/16/2023 - Day 18 Flower: plants are looking good. Flowers are starting to develop and I'm already seeing the beginning of some tricomes. Stretch appears to be just about done, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here. The curling from last week has not gotten any worse. 3/17/2023 - Day 19 Flower: watered about 6 gallons of worm tea I brewed for about 24 hours. Added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, BuildASoil BuildABloom, and Rootwise Bio-Catalyst. Also, did some minor defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking lower bud sights. Still need to do more, but I plan to spread it out over a few days. 3/18/2023 - Day 20 Flower: Cleaned them all up real good. Took off all the large fan leaves, except for the top two, and cut off basically anything on the lower half of the plant. May have gone a little higher than I would have liked, now that I'm seeing it done, but too late now. Normally, i only like to take off about 1/3, but i guess we will see what happens when the bottom half is stripped. Always learning around here, haha. Hopefully I should have very little popcorn buds.

Very high quality strain. No joke, I'm glad I have discovered such a fruity and sweet sativa strain. This m8 by gea seeds is a pleasure to smell, I'm so sad about growing her in that little 11l pot, hope next year I can make a very big bush full of fruity big colas ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿญ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ‰๐ŸŠ Loving the fragrance. Very recomended guys. Peace โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’šโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

Day 59 - Seems since ropping up the res with nutrients the girls have taken well to it. They've started to fatten up considerably and are showing some nice colours. They are hard and sticky.. yield looks well on the first pheno. Day 60 - plants are getting on well, the EC is dropping which lets me know the plants are utilising the nutrients, pH slightly rising which again is a good sign. Leaves are changing colour too. I'll see what happens over the next few days, she should start to fade soon. Won't start flusing yet as she still has more to give. Stay tuned Day 63 - Girls getting on well, strong gassy smell from one of the phenos (left) and really sweet candy like aroma from the second pheno (right) actually smells so dank! ๐Ÿ˜„ Other thsn that, feeds have been dropped.. currently sitting around 0.5 EC. pH 5.8.. girls seem to like it there but I'd like it a little higher (6.0). They put on a lot of size from one day to the other which was nice to see. Can't complain really, I'll continue for now letting the EC drop and do a res change with plain RO water and let the plants flush fir a couple days. Planning for a day 70 harvest. Stay tuned

64 days since switched to 12/12.Time passed really quick. I decided to keep these for 1 more week since they just bloomed for one more time.Trichomes are showing mostly cloudy with a little clear left.Looking for %90 cloudy %10 amber.Hopefully will get it this week.Size of the buds are getting bigger everyday.Buds are really dense and smelly .Expecting to harvest on friday.Plant will spend his last 24 hours in complete darkness and will be cut down before light come up.I will flush on last watering.Hoping for it to be enough.Since l have to dry in the room that i grow,i will cut them all at the same time.

Top canopy was uneven so supercropped a couple of branches. Top branches are flowering ok but I'm not sure she'll make it too the end, bottom branches looking great. I asked how I can speed up flowering, and I need too cover her for 16 hours a day, can't cover with boxes as rain will destroy the cartoon, don't have a cloth big enough. I'm just gonna wing it, adding some leaves to protect soil from frost, bringing her in when it is forecast to below 6. She'll be flowering until Christmas at this rate :D keeping an eye for hermie
