April 4th - It seems like the Northern Lights does not take well to over watering. It's been 5 days and she's still looking sad, but keeping up with the bubble gum. Pink berry remains tiny. I've added a Mars Hydro ts 600 and an ultra sonic humidifier. All were topped on April 2nd.

Day 49 and 50. With 28 to 42 days left(anticipating)went ahead and gave the girls some bloom nutrients. Decided to go with the pk13/14 from canna at 1 tsp per gallon. Each plant received 2 gallons and will repeat for the next two waterings. Decided against a top dressing as I amended the soil heavily at the start and would like to use up what’s in the soil already. To say the girls have grown up during summer camp is an understatement! Miss Harvey is an astonishing 44 inches tall and still growing. Ms. Fizz and the 91Grapes are both a very respectable 38 inches tall and still growing. Once these girls got their roots settled in it was off to the races and none of the are showing any interest in slowing down, I just think they will shift into flower overdrive! Or at least that’s my desire. update, bad news something chewed seven branches off my plants last night. pissed off. will include pictures later I love growing autoflowers. Their simple tenacity and vigor, their ability to flower at will and finish inside of three months is what keeps me coming back for more. Thank you Daz for some amazing plants.

day 1 - shes getting her sugar on the leafs now clearly and you can start to really notice her smell after just a few minutes of the tent being open. not too strong of a smell yet but there is still much time to improve, really happy with the bud developement so far!!! day 4 - trichome producktion is just kickin off since 1-2 days, love to smell her sweetness. stretch has come to a stop a few days also. day 6 - when i opened the tent today she was showing me her flowers big. there was a big diffrence visible for my eye from last open yesterday to today and i like it! the pistils on the main bud start to get orange color and the others also seem to get a few pistols with color totay!

Run-off got pretty high on the plants in the main tent when I tested it this week (2300ppm) so I flushed the plants down to around 900 over a few water events with half-strength nutes (~450). I think this, plus (mainly) the plants being too close to the LED caused them to throw some foxtails - particularly the middle plant (although I still think that spindly shit is also partly due to the bag seed pheno). Noob mistake on my end and I didn't realize until it was too late. Now the light is turned down and the run-off is back in a good range. It got high because my auto-watering halos were mostly running off the pots and not sinking in - this is because I filled the pots to the brim with coco (another noob mistake). Looks like I'm hand watering until harvest :) Big Mumma in the blurple tent on the other hand is still killing it.. Apologies for having to upload videos of the microscope - too hard to hold it still and press the button for photos lol.

Last day of week 5 today. Got a great start to some frosty tops. Seeing some.purple leaves coming in. My wife's shower music played a key roll in this video. These 2 Minnesota strains from Mad Shark Genetix , Taste of Minnesota on left, Blueberry Winter on the right, are doing very well and I have enjoyed growing these 2. 4 more weeks ish to go. Added a P boost and Recharge to this weeks feeding. Let's put on some weight baby!!! NFSOT

Wasn't able to top until day 26. Took 3 clones (max in IL is 5 plants over 5 inches) while topping. Will probably start working on another 3x3 tent this week. Day 28 I super-cropped the new main branches and trained down.

Hey GD! Harvested two off the four. I haven't weighed it yet but I predict about 2 ounce off each. The skiny bud plant really surprised me! The buds are potent and pretty with the purple hues. This strain is potent enough for you not to realise its an auto flower. The other two are coming down over the next week. The super main only first then the supercrop every branch plant. I have to say my trouble plant that I abused has really come along. I'm proud of her. Her buds are diesel buds there sparkly and smell just right. The super crop on main only plant has developed seriously dense Flowers not a spot of mold! Ambering up alot. She has taken on a smell of them yellow melons, its incredible! Really unique. In fact each plant out of this pack of 5 has had its own characteristics, its been a pleasure discovering the phenotypes and I advise anyone grow at least two of the same strain because you never know how they might turn out haha! Final week next week! Update: got just over 100g dry off the two that hadn't been trained. Just made some cannabutter off the trim check out the pics!

This girl already has a sweet smell without flowers I’m thinking this is one of my new favorite strain to grow I need to buy some more seeds. She grows very vigorous also.

We are starting the cultivation of a new, fast-growing strain Amnesia X3 Turbo Feminized from Seeds Mafia. The seed was germinated in a paper towel and sprouted within 24 hours. Afterward, we carefully planted it in a 1.6-liter pot filled with a specially prepared soil mix: 50% soil, 10% perlite, and 35% coco substrate. The daytime temperature is 28°C, nighttime temperature is 21°C, and the humidity is maintained at 65%. The light schedule is set to 18/8. A big thank you to Seeds Mafia for providing the seeds, we're excited to see how it develops!

👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrfication process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

11/15 A day early but need to sync up with the other grow WOW I mean seriously these guys are just huge! Good work Fastbuds They could take more feeding but then they would get TOO BIG! So looking forward to this 1/17 Moving day! Into her new quarters on Moya! ( fully prepared and buffered 75% Coco in the veg tent) Kangaroots for her lower end CocoTek for the upper! She will get two feedings of this then back to straight CocoTek and higher levels of that 😁 1/20 Chinana gets a haircut! Topped her at fifth node

Check out the video! 7 weeks of flowering have passed. Tops are getting really heavy, I might have to buy bamboo support sticks soon. Resin production is insane as you can see. There was mold in one of the head buds and I had to remove a golfball-sized chunk. Some insect made its way in, died there and started rotting. I struggle to keep the humidity down and now I am watering every second day only. And i bought a third fan (typhoon) that blows warm air from the ceiling above the lamp back onto the tops. wish me luck for the last 4 weeks

Everything is going great. No major issues no major problems. Plant growth is phenomenal. I’m gonna lower my scrog net a good 6 - 8 inches tomorrow. Get the plants growing into it. I figure another 3-5 weeks of veg and then off to the races. I haven’t yet decided if I’m going to use canna boost this round. I haven’t decided if it’s worth the cheese anyone wanna give their ±.02? I’ll definately use molasses in flower. But that’s it, I don’t like adding adjuncts and unneeded crap. It’s all just a waste. I used mammoth last grow on one plant and the plant I didn’t didn’t use it on got higher yeilds buy quite a bit. 1/2 Oz. So that’s shit is snake oil. I really feel anything you add to your grow should yield you more than it costs right? ROI.

Removed some fan leafs and the buds starting to explode. This lush young plant stands proud with vibrant green leaves, a testament to its great genetics. The plant is thriving under optimal nutrient uptake, its buds already beginning to form and swell with promise of a bountiful harvest of top-quality buds. This young lady is growing with a blissful ease and a resilient growth. Ample space to improve on my next run 🙏
