Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 9 with our illustrious Big Cheese Auto is like witnessing a botanical sprint to the finish line, and the excitement is hitting a fever pitch. A massive shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep our green queen in perpetual amazement. Our green sprinter is charging through her ninth week of flowering, and oh my, the acceleration is breathtaking! She's growing at an astonishing speed, embracing her full potential. The Autopot system remains the orchestrator, providing her with a nutrient symphony that propels her towards the grand finale. It's like the final act of a botanical masterpiece. In response to the swift growth, a tactical adjustment is in play. I've cut back on nitrogen (P-Boost) and increased potassium (K-Boost). Picture it like fine-tuning a racing car for the last lap. Nitrogen, essential for vegetative growth, takes a backseat as potassium takes the wheel. Why? Because potassium is a key player in the flowering game, boosting bud development, enhancing taste, and improving overall quality. It's like switching gears for a turbocharged bloom. The trichomes are stealing the show! Their numbers are skyrocketing, covering every inch of our Big Cheese Auto like a blanket of shimmering diamonds. It's like a botanical galaxy forming right before our eyes. The visual spectacle is not just mesmerizing; it's a testament to the plant's potency and readiness for harvest. Ah, the unmistakable scent of cheese is now an aromatic symphony that fills the air. Each day, it becomes more robust, like a crescendo building up to the grand finale. The olfactory journey is now at its peak, promising a flavor profile that will linger in the memory. Our TDS remains robust at 390, and the pH orchestrates a harmonious melody at 6.0. The Autopot and the nutrient adjustments are now conducting a final symphony, ensuring every element harmonizes for the best possible finish. The final grooming session is in progress. The leaf-bending ballet continues, creating an even canopy that bathes in the natural light. Defoliation is like the last-minute touch-ups before the grand performance. It's like preparing for the curtain call of this extraordinary botanical journey. A colossal thank you to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and the phenomenal community. Your support has been the guiding melody of this green odyssey. As we approach the climax of Week 9, the excitement is tangible. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's hurtling towards a botanical crescendo. I can't wait to witness the final act of this sprint to greatness. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

I wasn’t around much this week so there aren’t as many pictures. I regret not having much time as I had/have (not sure at the moment there are no more new white spots popping up) a thrips infection which I tried to correct with some organic insecticides and Neem oil which I always used in the past but completely neglected with this grow and am paying the price now. I haven’t encountered thrips or any other bug before but with a higher number of plants in one box and the fact that I was to lazy to clean my box after the last grow may be the cause of this now.

These ladies are starting to take off. Seeing them stretching for the light is exactly what I was shooting for with the new Sanlights. I started hand watering giving them just calmag and Ph'd water. These next few weeks are going to be interesting to see how the veg cycle goes.

Hey growers. This week I decided to water with a heavier ppm as the plants didn’t seem too happy. They were showing some yellowing on the lower leaf tips. Guess I was right bc they exploded up to about 12” +-. Then I decided to top and LST the main stem. Today I just adjusted the ties, removed 1-2 leaves from each plant depending if there was any in the mud or not. Yesterday I watered with 525 ppm, but unfortunately the water was a bit on the cold side and they’re having trouble soaking it up. I have since created a rez in my grow room just to hold RO water at approx 70 degrees. So that problem should be rectified. I think I’m right on the cusp of preflower as I’ve seen one or 2 pistils. Regardless they’re doing their thing and I’m trying to do as little as possible to keep them vegging as long as possible and end up beastly!!! Happy Growing 🌱

Es wurde Zeit, das Wetter wurde ungemütlich, kalt und regnerisch. Die anderen Pflanzen hatten bereits Schimmel entwickelt und es war auch kein weiteres Blütenwachstum festzustellen. die Trichome sahen auch leicht angebräunt aus, Deshalb wurde geerntet und verarbeitet. Die Ernte der zweiten späten Pflanze war wesentlich geringer aber noch passabel.

All the plants are building buds. Gave them a little beastie bloomz. I cut them off the maxigro today since the leaf tips are burning. Other than that everything is going smooth.

Since that day I treated her soooo bad: just sometimes water, nearly no fertilizer, placed her inside a tent, in a glass house and sometimes even outside for days... I totally forgot when she started to bloom or how long she was even growing.

7 Feb - Filled the reservoir with 1.5L each but looks like the water level thing doesn't work. Update: just watered with the Yucca extract to see how the plants react. Also accidentally broke a branch :( 10 Feb - Top dress tasty flowers + 1L water + yucca 11 Feb - Flipped to 12/12

So I know I said they would have one more week into the vegetative stage, but after looking at my calendar, my jars, and the plant's size, I've decided it was a good time to flip into flowering stage. After 7 days into blooming plants are in stretch mode at full speed, everything is looking good so far for these Vanilla Ice clones!
