I've pretty much been hands off this grow. Just letting the plants do what they want. I did a spray with insecticidal Soap which shocked some of the auto genetics. Had some leaf loss but they are bouncing back. I saw one tiny fly and wasnt worth the shock some of the susceptible plants had. Lesson learned. I havent done much more than fimmed, topped, and lsted very lightly. Testing out fimming on autos. So far the lst only autos started flowering around day 23 to 25. The fimmed autos have stayed in veg much longer and were way more resilient. They are just starting to flower or show pistil. One of the Double Grape is showing completely different pheno than the other double grape. So much that I thought it might need 12/12 to flower. However it started showing pistils a day ago. Double grape responded very well to Fim and so did the northern lights big bud auto and purple scoops. I had problems with a driver on a brand new fc3000 blowing up, mars hydro sent me a replacement driver. They then wanted to squabble about replacing the plastic piece that connects the driver to the light. Two weeks later they sent the part after I told them I had to buy an HLG cause I couldnt believe they wouldnt send me a plastic part. Then the HLG I was sent was the 65 version not the 100 but they sent me the correct light right away and my plants and the clones loveeeed the HLG 100 v2. So much so that I bought the 65 version they sent by mistake and they gave me $10 bucks off for my troubles. Even though I had to be persistent with Mars Hydro they did do me right and now both my LEDs are working. However I had a 4 by 8 of plants all stacked on one end under 150 watts for weeks trying to get this solved. I had multiple power and light issues with adding the new 4 by 8 tent that costs my plants I'm sure. I decided not to freak about it and let things go with the flow and not stress. Things will not be optimum but I learn each grow about my setup and this is my first grow in soil so learning curves. I'm feeding very small amounts of calmag and seaweed extract in each watering which is every two to three days with ro water. I started this week three when the plants showed shock from the spray. It seemed to help them recover. I'm using light warrior, ocean forest and living soil layered mix. I kept 1 king tut, 3 alien tech clones which are doing good nice and rooted directly in light warrior. Transplanted week three in 3 gal pots. Never cloned before so is a learning process.

Man, I whipped these girls into shape! They got an amazing lolipoping~! its hard to sacrifice some of those branches but they look so much better for it and i hope it better allocates the plants resources! Did a big defoliation that really changed the way they look!

Last week went well. She is growing steadily and I can't wait to get her outside. She is going to be great once she can spread her roots in the ground. I took a few clones to attempt to keep this strain around since it was my only seed. Can't wait for the fall. She had some leaves removed and I did some lst and supercropping to even out the canopy further. She was topped on every branch to double the amount of tops. I will update as she progresses. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Sadly Zkittlez #2 will no longer be with us. I had to make an executive decision to remove her. I really wasn't sure what was going on. I noticed that her stem were extremely soft and really sticky with a strong chemical like smell. Being that her stem were extremely soft, I could see how any buds would be able to grow. Since the other three girls were in late bloom and doing extremely well I didn't want to jeopardize their progress in late bloom. She was only a week younger than her sisters. R.I.P. Zkittlez #2

Day 53 I dont know how i skipped a whole week? But it happens Plants are looking a little rough, i flushed 2-3 times with just greatwhite and water. Its weird because they got yellow so fast but the tips still look clawed im some spots so im scared to go back to full feed. Slowly added 1ml bioheaven and alga mic then 2ml/l bioheaven and alga mic. Tryingnto get back up to normal feeding

10/08: i just switched the lights over to 12/12. I am pleased enough with how the grow phase has gone, though i made some mistakes, and i am frustrated with how significantly different these phenos have been in their grow patterns. The canopy isnt great, and two pf the plants are significantly taller than the others. And i simply was not able to train them the same. I took 3 cuttings of each and am hoping to propagate them and keep a mother of my favorite of the 4 plants, assuming any of them actually end up with color. Really looking forward to the next couple of weeks as buds start to grow in. Fingers crossed for purple.

Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

***** Week 7 December 30/20 to Jan 5/21 - Days 43 to 49 from germination ***** Week 6 went well overall and she got her colour back for the most part the last week. She is pretty green now and is looking good for the next week. In fact, watch the ppm going in now and keep it below 1,000ppm so we don't have issues flushing her soon. She only has about two weeks of feed left and then we will be down to water only........likely stop in the high 50's, maybe day 60.......we should be okay though......the last feed day just seems to come so quickly with autos😀 I love autos as they allow you to add variety to your smoke because they finished quickly........10 or 11 weeks idea typically. You really have to keep on your game though for the first 4 weeks........keep them happy everyday otherwise you lose veg growth😞 This girl has had some early issues with getting enough nitrogen and I am seeing some of those effects now, later on in growth, and her main stem is not as thick as I think it should be for big thick buds but she has grown well and showing some beautiful legs on her😁 She is week 3 of flower and for an auto flower and this is the week I typically hit them hard with nutrients and ensure they have lots of light intensity. Since she has been doing very well the last days this means I will keep a closer eye on her ppm, I don't think that I should break 1,000ppm with her......or not by very much as we hit her with the last bloom additives..........she is looking a nice green at the start of the week. I think that I will keep with adding Rezin from Green Planet Nutrients to help with trichome production and Terpinator for the terpene production. Keep up the CalMag this week as well and then start tapering off, same for silica. She is feeding hard at the start of the week and she is being watered twice a day now........she is finishing the 2L to 2.5L that stays in her media within 24 hours now. Therefore, have to watch ppm with that much liquid going into her😲 Her colours are popping on her obviously and she is certainly living up to her name. The main stems are bright green but I am noticing some purple on some, so ensuring I keep the CalMag right now. Her fan leaf stems are quite purple as well. There is obviously going to be some genetics at play with the colour but there is still signs of some stress there. Will continue to remove some lower bud sites from her this week but will keep the fan leaves where possible. She has some long branches and because the node spacing is so large she appears to be lacking some leaves for photosynthesis so I don't want to remove any that she continues to need......just take the bud sites so she can focus on the upper buds. Trying to minimize stress this will happen over a few days and keep an eye on how she reacts to their removal. She is looking fabulous Fast Buds and growing with a crazy amount of vigor and shooting out some long branches!!! Impressive so far😍👍 Little more detail........ Dec 30/20, Day 43 - she is looking taller again this morning😀 - Pulled her out quickly to test the weight of the pot and she needs watering again today. - The leaf colour is quite green now when you pull her out and look at them under natural light.......back off ppm next two watering's and keep CalMag, Terpinator, and microbes for now only. - 11:00am she had 2L watering with Magnifical @ 1ml, Enzymes Komplete and Microbial Mass @ 2ml = 175ppm and 5.7pH Dec 31/20, Day 44 - pots are really light this morning. - 2.5L feeding with Terpinator @ 3ml, MagNifiCal and Rezin @ 2ml Natures Candy @ 1ml = 600ppm and 5.9pH - pulled her out and trimmed off a fair bit of lower branching. Did it now before she gets too far into flower. - she has some long branches and those lower sites are getting a lot less light intensity. Trimmed off some lower bud sites and left some of the fan leaves. - It was actually fairly aggressive stripping so will keep an eye on her and see how she reacts......should have added some kelp and vitamin B to the feed but didn't😶 Jan 1/21, Day 45 - watering in the morning. - 2.5L watering with CalMag, VeloKelp and Vitathrive @ 1.5ml = 400ppm and 6.0pH (Had to add Terpinator for 1ml/L to bring down the pH......missed it so added something, too much pH up was added.) - They have been given a lot of ppm this week so backing off a bit and just giving some basics as using RO water. - She has some huge potential to yield but with her only in a 3 gal pot.......I feel like I shot myself in the foot and she should have certainly had a 5gal pot!!!! - Toxicity signs popping up......water only for at least next three days!!!!!! Jan 2/21, Day 46 - pots are dry and time for moisture again. - plain water only!!!!! She is showing signs of some excess from pushing them harder this week. - backing off and let her use some of the nutes she already has in her. - 2.5L water with Enzymes @ 1ml = 15ppm and 5.7pH - droopy in the morning........see how they look in a couple of hours. - closed the door to the room last night and temps in the tent were 97 degrees this morning.......they will bounce back but it definitely impacted them last night. - temps shot up closer to 98 range, pots were dry so no moisture for them, they were already starting to battle toxicity, and then a light on a timer kicked that shouldn't and the girls were under too much light for 12 hours!!!! Yesterday, they looked worse and worse and as the day progressed. - Temps dropped in the tent to 72 degrees, humidity dropped to 52%, lights turned down to just one 135W in the 3 x 3.........just let them play out the day like that. Jan 3/21, Day 47 - well F!!!!!!! What happened the night of Jan1/Jan2 was not good. F.....F.....F.... - pots still had a little weight to them this morning. Not normal for the last week......they should have been almost bone dry this morning! - Have two of the lights on dim today. Temps at 77 degrees and humidity at 57%.......trying to keep them cool and dark. - watered each girl with 2L plain water only. PPM was 15 and pH was 5.4..........lowered the pH a bit. - So F.......not much you can do damn it. Lots of plain water for next couple of days and keep them darker....... Jan 4/20, Day 48 - So getting over it and stop being pissed off, the girls were put in to dark spots and rotated the pots to reduce the light and stop the hurt😀 - Cooled them off 68 degrees for yesterday and the evening. Humidity was dropped to 50% and give some plain water. - She is pulling out of it. She has lost at least 12 leaves to the stress and the toxicities took over those leaves and dried them out. - All you can do is accept it now and work on keeping the rest of her happy and out of harms way and she is coming. - looking better today in the sense that the leaf tip curl is backing off and they are straightening out. - It is the very top of 3 colas that the most impacted......those that were closest to the lights. - water day to help keep them getting some moisture and keep them not looking for moisture. - 2L plain water with VeloKelp and Rezin @ 1ml = 85ppm and 5.7pH - they have not had a base nutrient feed this week.......just Terpinator, CalMag, Kelp, Microbes, Enzyems, and Rezin........unfortunate but have lost three days now to this light/heat issue....F...!

Buds are forming nicely, the Hulkberry has a sugary scent, very pleasant looks like very green weed, vibrant. Leafs are showing some cal mag deficiency, I’m using RO water, but supplementing with cal mag, and leafs still demonstrating that for a wile, could be the led to cloase, checked the runoff ec 1.4 and ph 6.5 looks normal, tested the soilless, is between 6.5 and 7. This looks like a more fragile strain, wile by the side i have a heavy feeder, and a normal feeder, runing three distinct diets is out of question at this point... The Purpple kush smells like candy and is really purpple and the unknown strain is like mint with a strong indica look. I’m going to be away for 7days so I intalled a drip sistem and I’m hopping it does the trick...

Englisch: Towards the end of week 4, the ladies were planted in their final 11 liter pots. They also tolerated it very well, especially because of the White Shark Mycorrhizae the plants had almost no stunt. I lollipopped all the plants on day 38 and will give them another week or so to recover before flowering. This is my first time with such aggressive lollipopping, so we'll see how they take it. Unfortunately I have to say that the PCG Genetics are not performing as well as I had hoped, whether it's my fault or the fact that the seeds have been in the fridge for over 5 years, I don't know. I hope that they will at least be convincing in terms of flavor, even if they are not the highest-yielding plants. Now I have to wait and keep my fingers crossed. :) Deutsch: Gegen Ende von Woche 4 wurden die Ladys in ihre finalen 11 Liter Töpfe gepflanzt. Haben es auch super vertragen, besonders durch die White Shark Mycorrhizae hatten die Pflanzen so gut wie keinen stunt. An Tag 38 habe ich alle Pflanzen gelollipopped und werde ihnen noch ca. 1 Woche Zeit geben, um sich zu erholen, bevor es in die Blüte geht. Ist mein erstes Mal mit so einem aggressiven Lillpopping, mal schauen wie sie es vertragen. Leider muss ich sagen, dass die PCG Genetics nicht so performen wie erhofft, sei es mein Verschulden, oder die Tatsache, dass die Samen über 5 Jahre im Kühlschrank lagen, ich weiß es nicht. Ich hoffe, dass sie zumindest geschmacklich überzeugen können, wenn es nicht die ertragreichsten Pflanzen werden. Jetzt heißt es abwarten und Daumendrücken. :)

Guava wächst weiterhin ganz gut, die Blüten fangen langsam heranzuwachsen und man kann langsam ein leichten Duft wahrnehmen. Wir haben die Pflanze am Blüte Tag 21 noch einmal final stärker entlaubt. Wir gießen weiterhin im Durchschnitt alle 4 Tagen 1,5L.

Die Schätzchen starten in Ihre 7. Lebenswoche! Ich bin wieder zurück aus dem Urlaub und der Kollege hat sich wohl gut um die Ladys gekümmert. Eine ist leider ein Zwitter geworden und diese habe ich aus den Zelt entfernt, zum Glück nur die kleinste von denen 🙏🏽😎 Ansonsten denke ich das ich in diesem Run einen super Job gemacht habe, sehen alle super glücklich und gesund aus und die Ernte wird wie es ausschaut auch Top 😋😋😋😮‍💨

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

Week of admiring this girl is drinking water every 2 days without problems something big to take I need a lot more of that in my garden her resistance and incredible leaving in its natural form you only feed and observe because it makes great sprouts with incredible sugar, aroma sweet, previous weeks in veg the defoliation of everything that was underneath made something bigger in equal proportions, it really doesn’t need big lights to show its potential I believe that improving in each specific strain you know each one, being able to understand more and improve. Thanks for another week everyone, the trichomes are taking their best potential, I hope at any time to return with the harvest 😁

This week I transplanted my ladies to their 3 gallon oxypot. They both look very healthy with a big root mass and strong stalk. Topping in 4 days or until they are settled in proper.
