Ended up flushing Mumma for about 10 days - got her ppm down real low. Night before harvest I set the timer so the light would not come back on in the morning before I harvested (I've seen people who swear by this and other who say it doesn't do anything but figured it couldn't hurt). At this point the other plants are pretty disappointing compared to Mumma so they aren't getting as much "love" lol.

6/21 Week 9 Tricones at 50% clear 50% milky She is building so fast we have had to trellis her branches (bamboo and jute) to keep them from snapping even with the SI in her cells. Continuing PK for now hold CocoTek where it is as she is going into her last week of nuets We do not want to start that flush until we are satisfied its time and at the rate she is building it aint today and may not be till the end of the week. We still think this a 300 gram dry plant at least, she seems to be putting on several grams a day of flower so every day is a weeks worth of CBD. 6/23 Pics later Trics at 75% milky 25% clear want more mature before taking away all her nuets Removing PK she is slowing down greatly only waiting on the trics to flush Reduced Lights on to 18 hours Plant and grower 6/24 Reducing lights on to 16 hours Showing off her buds and trics a little 6/25 Light hours were reduced for heat (its hot this week) nothing else. Off during heat of the day. Begin Flush this evening trics are 80+% milky plan on using an agent for the first flush just water thereafter. 6/26 Day 2 of flush no major def yet 6/27 Ok the deficiency fairy showed up last night, seeing mostly CA which does not surprise at all, and Mag. Still she is managing to build a bit of bud.

Hello All! I'm BACK! I took a month off and I am so ready to get back to growing. I am adding a couple of things this grow different from my last. So look for some of the new things I am implementing. For starters! This time I will be growing from a seed. I purchased my seeds from Seed Supreme. The strain I will be growing this time is going to be SKunk#1. The Skunk#1 that i am growing this time is an Auto Flower. Two things are already different. Germinating from a seed, and growing an AutoFlower. 10/30/23 - Day 1 - Right now I chose to setup my heat mat, put the dome over the mat and put the water cup on the mat. I'm going to let the seed soak for 24 hrs. Tomorrow ill pull it out and put it in a damp cloth in side the dome with the heat pad. 10/31/23 - Day 2 - Happy Halloween yall! This is a good sign, less than 24hrs and the seed has already started to open. I got a paper towel wet, and I moved the seed to the paper towel. Ill keep her in the wet, paper towl. In the cup. Thats on the heat mat under the dome. Important to note, the heat mat is set for 120deg. Its off the ground on a table. I leave it on 24/7 during this whole process. 11/1/23 - Day 3 - I'm Really impressed. She already popped and sprouted a tail! I'm going to wait until her tail is sticking out a lot more before moving her to the LEAF box. So a couple of things got done today. I wanted to set up my Leaf box differently this time. Last grow I use the manual options for water and humidity. I was the person who would refill the water and the humidifier. This time I ran all the correct PVC to allow the Leaf Box to use the automatic process. I should be able to be super hands-off this time. I have an RO water system that I set up to feed the Leaf Box. I posted a Video of me taking the seed and planting it into Rockwool. I could start the Leaf box up now, but I want the seed to grow a bit more. Right now it's still on a hot mat, with plenty of water. I also added some Root Armor. 11/2/23 - Day 4 - The top of the seed is already starting to poke out. This seed has no chill.

I swear every time I LST, within a few hours, they are right back covering the spots I tied down and opened up. I haven't had to give them nutes just yet because of the FoxFarm soil. I try to wait about a month before starting to give nutes after transferring them to this soil bc this soil already has so many nutes in it already. At the rate they're growing, they're likely going to be in need of a feeding very soon. Plan to top GDP2 again in a few days. GDP1 and BK I may top a 3rd time but I haven't decided. I don't want them to get so bushy that the tent becomes too small. And yes I decided I'm not going to LST GDP2. I may tie her down some for light exposure but no bending and tying down like with GDP1 and BK. More updates to come as the week goes. 6/29: I topped GDP2 one more time. I made sure I didn't FIM this time lolol. I topped all 3 new stalks which should give me 6 more, I believe. BK, I defoliated her lightly yesterday, took off a lot of the really large fan leaves. You can't even tell I didn't anything now lolol They're growing big and beautiful especially GDP2 since I've decided not to LST. I did tie down one of her branches though to give more light to other lil potential bud sites. 😍😘😌 6/30: I tested the PPM of the run off water and it's still pretty high even though I haven't added any nutes at all to any of the water I've watered them with. Only pH'ed the water and that's it. I'll be holding off a little longer before feeding them. That FoxFarm Happy Frog soil is no joke... hot hot hot...

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

Ganadora del primer lugar en la categoría autofloreciente de la copa Litoral de Los Poetas en Chile.🏆🥇 Definitivamente en mi top 5 de preferencias ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Una genética muy estable, ya que es segunda vez que germino de estas semillas y se expresa exactamente el mismo fenotipo; tonalidades hermosas y caractericas, frutos muy apretados y macizos cubiertos de una capa de tricomas lo que le da una visual espectacular. El aroma en frasco es una mezcla de frutilla ácida y tierra con un fondo dulce 🤤 es realmente exquisito. En la fumada se repiten gran parte de los aromas pero menos dulce y más cremoso y especioso, detodas formas es un humo genial que querrás fumar todo el día..

Nothing special, everything is actually working. Clearly once my water was at the right temperature, no more worries. The flowers arrived at 12/12 + 11 with the trichromes that pop, it starts to be pleasant! So of course, I'm not going to break any records on this RUN but in any case, I've eliminated a lot of "novelty" and mistakes that I'll make more. I'm counting on the run I'm re-launching to blow all that up, I'm going to go for a performance goal The stretch is off to a good start, it should settle down around 12/12 +21 - 28, so I will place my second net next week. I have done a defoliation. I change the soup in 2 days, so my solution lasts 10 days. I have a slight over-fattening, but really nothing serious, I will switch to an EC of 1.8 - 1.9 instead of 2.0. and I will observe. Here we can see the delay of one of the plants, it's as if I was shooting with only 3 plants. Next time, only one strain, same size of cuttings and passage by cuttings and RDWV DIY mandatory before passage in the V-system. Next week, I change the brand of fertilizer for the RDWC, I go to Athena, I will introduce the PK of Athena which according to their recommendation starts at the 21st day at a rate of 2ML/L. I turn with the base sensi bloom a and b + athena pk Otherwise, I receive the parts this week for my RDWC DIY system for growth, I'll make it with my friend and I'll test it and I'll give you a feedback on the next update, especially since I'm going to restart right away, I'm going to do 10-15 days in cuttings and then I'll go to the RDWC DIY system for growth until I finish the FLO of the V-SYTEM and then I'll go straight to the next one. I'm going to put my LEDS at 80% which is the MAX recommendation of SANlight without c0² ( I don't forbid myself to grow at 100% in week 5-6, I'll see... )

What up Fam. Weekly update on this big girl. I'd have to say it might be the biggest auto plant I've grown. It's drinking 1gal a day and not showing any signs of slowing down. The colas are stacking amazing with flower sites. Looking forward to the upcoming week's. Happy

Her color is looking better (my camera makes the plant look a little more lime green than it actually is) but with the amount of N going in there she should be much darker imo...we decided to go ahead and flower her anyway..we go thru and remove any large fan leaves, small/lower growth beforehand ....she has been receiving bloom nutrients for almost 2 weeks by this point and we have a spot already cleared for her 😻

Although I am not a Super grower, I have not grown many plants, but for this girl, there were definitely bigger ones, but were there any more beautiful ones than this one?, I highly doubt it :) she looks fantastic, the finish is very close :)))) @FastBuds gorilla cookies auto. with small space, high temperature, high humidity, it copes without major problems :) which makes me very happy :) good luck to everyone :)

Transplanted to a 5 gallon pot half way through the week and heavily watered/fed for the next 2 days, then topped for the first time at the end of the week. She's doing really well. Now it's about keeping the plants trained and the same height. 2 timelapses this week. Enjoy!
