This week has been a good one! Not too much more stretch just simply filling up both the spaces with foliage and swollen buds! I’m now watering 6L every 3 days and she’s soaking it all up! Will feed strong for one more week then 2 weeks of flush :) Dehumidifier turned on and set at 40%, ambient air temp dropped to 23/24 day time and 18 with lights off, air flow changed up daily to really help her. Getting keen to harvest/cure/smoke and then put in the next round! 😊 I hope all my followers and readers are well and have great holidays! Keep growing, keep smoking and most of all keep smiling! Much love! 👌✌️👍💐💨😎

Week 5 Report: Big Cheese Auto Blossoms into Flower Power! Hi Guys! Buckle up for another thrilling chapter in the saga of our green queen, the Big Cheese Auto. Week 5 marks her grand entrance into the world of flowering, and oh, the excitement is palpable! Big shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting us. As we transition into this flowering phase, it's like witnessing a well-choreographed dance, and our Big Cheese Auto is stealing the spotlight. 🌸✨ The Autopot system is proving to be a game-changer. She's sipping on her own schedule, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. It's like having a master chef in the kitchen, deciding when and how much to feast on those nutrients. Now, let's dive into the nutrient symphony: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro is still grooving. The dance with Mono-silicic acid (Si) continues, ensuring a stress-free environment as our star transitions into flowering. P-Boost: A round of applause for the latest addition to our nutrient crew. P-Boost Provides a large amount of organic phosphorus (P)and brings a powerhouse of organic nitrogen (N) and highly concentrated L-amino acids. It's like giving our plant a secret weapon for flowering. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our guardian of structural integrity, remains vigilant. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundation for the floral fireworks that lie ahead. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio continues to be the backbonebut (just for this week), but here's a twist - the soil pellets are now in play. It's like the stage is set, and our Big Cheese Auto is the leading lady in this nutrient-filled drama. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): The roots are thriving, thanks to Start Boost. It's like a construction crew working tirelessly to ensure a solid foundation for the upcoming bloom spectacle.(i will stop this ) Topbooster: Introducing the bloom and maturation stimulator that's about to revolutionize our green symphony. Topbooster is the 100% organic maestro with a concoction of active ingredients that scream "flower power." L-amino acids, polysaccharides, trace elements (B, Fe, Mo), bloom-promoting natural plant stimulants, and vitamin complexes from natural fermentation — it's a holistic approach to enhancing the flowering response. How Topbooster Works: It's a botanical ballet! L-amino acids: Leading the floral development and maturation charge. Trace elements (B, Fe, Mo): Assisting in the intricate dance of floral development. Polysaccharides (sugars): Stimulating nutrient uptake and microlife populations, like a sweet rhythm for our plant. Vitamins: The conductors of hormone production. Gibberellins for shooting, cytokinins for cellular division — it's like the choreography that transforms a bud into a floral masterpiece. Together, P-Boost and Topbooster form the dynamic duo, ensuring our Big Cheese Auto doesn't just flower but does so with a grandeur that elevates the end product's quality. Larger fruit, more fibers, resins, and sugars — it's like a recipe for cannabis opulence. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance with mycorrhizal fungi is strengthening. Picture it like a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake, and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: The foliar spa treatment continues. The microelement cocktail is like a VIP party for our leaves, creating a protective shield against nutrient deficiencies. 🚿🍃 Training Update: The leaf-bending symphony continues. It's like sculpting a masterpiece, preparing the canvas for the grand artwork that lies ahead. And the best is yet to come - defoliation is on the horizon. Clearing out the clutter, allowing her to shine from the inside out. TDS and pH: Our numbers are looking sweet with a TDS of 390 and a pH of 6.0. It's like hitting the perfect notes in a musical composition, creating an environment where our Big Cheese Auto can thrive. As we transition into the next chapter, the anticipation is building, armed with the botanical brilliance of P-Boost and Topbooster. It's not just cultivation; it's an artistic expression of nature's bounty. Flowering is like the crescendo in a symphony, and our green maestro is ready to lead the orchestra. Once again, a massive thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and our incredible community. Your support is the backbone of this green tale.

Flip the script to 12/12 waiting on a small tent via amazon to put my MILF in so I do not contaminate the other ladies, clones are hanging in there hope they will be ready to go into flower at 21 days. I just potted up to a 5 gallon fabric pot. They were drinking so much they were dry in 1 1/2 days. gave them a mild feeding and a good watering did not want to give to much trans nuites this week as I just lolly popped and potted up on the same day they look healthy enough to take it but I did not want to over whelm them with the food. so the plan moving forward it to start spraying MILF A in her own tent while the others flower in the big tent then the clones will move in to the tent and flower for 3 weeks all the while spraying MILF A 2 times a day with the CS the hope is by off setting the clones and the mothers by a week the MILF at 4 weeks while have Feminized Polled sacs that will be ready to sprinkle on the clones the other to mothers will flower to completion be chopped and dried and the clones will go until the seeds are mature with in an extra week or two. Stay Safe🙏 I will post more pics this week end.

Hbss is 27in tall ABxRKO is 38.5in tall I'm starting to run out of height because of the ABxRKO as it finally flowers. Still slight nute issues with the HBSS, but nothing too tough to handle for now. The smells the HBSS give off are absolutely crazy. Just letting them grow, and watering every day seems to work. Will upgrade to earth boxes for this tent since a little autonomy is nice

One plant "lost" to budrot, luckily the only one which was 5 days older than all other 3. Budrot on 3 main buds, very early stages, noticed rather quickly as I'm a very alert person with stuff like this. Lost around 10% of infected and healthy material, and harvested early on around day 73. I lost around 2 weeks of weight gain & ripening with the early harvest, but I had to do it for the good of the other 3 plants. Infected plant was a Granite Haze F5, quick dry with wet trim to avoid more mold / rot. 5 days of drying at 20°C and 65% humidity, and light breeze of air. Final dry yield was 205g dry out of the second smallest autoflower here. Currently still in its curing stages, still a hay-ish smell to it because of the emergency dry, but I slowly get peppery notes, mixed with liqourice & ass. Yes it stinks. All other 3 plants are good so far, but this week doesn't have lots of images.

*Ppm stayed the same around 1050PPM * Week 5 of flower. *Nothing drastic changes just defoliating a little. Did remove some popcorn nuggets on the bottom. Wonder if that will affect yield.

She grew another 17cm this week! 145cm tall!!!!!!!!! She is totally out of headroom now, her top cola is through the lights and getting close to the roof of the tent 😅 Fastbuds do say it can reach 1.4M... 😁 It's accurate, she is a MONSTER of a plant. This week I have done a quick video showing the result of my experiment a few weeks ago where I FIMed a couple of side branches. Take a look 😃 Nothing else to the report as I'm just letting her do her own thing. For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 powder mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water.

Good harvest and excellent buds. Buds are loaded with a lot of THC, which provides a powerful multifaceted effect, combining daytime high and relaxing evening stone. I like to smoke this kind and relax while watching TV or playing cards. This strain is easy to grow and I have not had any problems or overdose of fertilizers. In the fourth week, the plant has more than doubled its growth - up to 30cm. I did not change the main indicators of the microclimate, but again slightly corrected the nutrition scheme: I added NESY KOKO 20ml to 5 liters of water. The bush looked healthy, strong and the first signs of pre-blossom began to appear on it. Flowering began on the 45th day. The plant was stretched out at a frantic pace - almost 4 centimeters a day. Thus, by the end of the 7 week, its size was already 45 centimeters. With the beginning of the eighth week, the elongation of growth stopped. The final height (along the center line) was 60cm. I decided to shorten the light period - now it was 12/12. I started use HESI PK 13/14 HESI BOOST.( once a week) At 9 weeks, I started to gradually defoliation. The bumps were very heavy and dense, so I gently pulled them to the center cola, as the side branches might not be able to handle the weight. From the 11th week on, I stopped feeding the plant, giving it exceptionally clean water for flushing. The trichomes began to turn cloudy and signaled that it was time to harvest. By this point, I had completely removed the foliage from the bush - everything was ready for harvesting. I dry cut buds in the same grow box where they grew. I haven't tried these buds yet. I was pleased with the quality of the strain. The center kola, as well as the side branches, gave me an excellent harvest. As for growing, I did not experience any difficulties. I recommend using a charcoal filter when growing - the variety is very aromatic. After drying and curing, I will take a sample from the finished product. On the way out, I got a first-class, top-quality IndiCA. The taste is dominated by pine woody notes. The effect has a powerful relaxing effect and awakens a brutal appetite in me. I like to smoke this kind and relax while watching TV or playing cards. Thanks to sponsor HESI for nutrients I got this report. I am very pleased with the result. The whole cycle I had no problems with the growth. In the future, I ll sure to use their further line of fertilizers. I added fertilizers according to the table from NESI. 1. The level of PPM is relatively low and it is large 2. The PH level was corrected automatic and I have a video about it. 3. Due to the content of B vitamins and natural sugars, the flowers grow naturally and fast. 4. NESI complex was enough for full grow cycle. I did not add any extra food. 5. The end product is easier to clean as the PPM level is low.

just before flowering 8 weeks ago-I took 2 clones of each strain from my last 4 diaries - 8 clones total and vegged them with CFL then went to LED reflector mars 192 (400w wall). now,my flowering room has just finished the last crop so i moved all 8 grown ups to veg another week and today i started 1212. i will be adding 2 X 300w BloomSpect LED panels in a week so total flowering led power is Mars Reflector 192 plus the 2units bloomspect 300 (660w wall). This diary records only flowering weeks without the clones vegging. I am having 8 plants with 660w @ 1.2m by 1.2m room - 10-12 oz dry is expected. Pictures soon Cheers

Florganics is a living soil starting fertiliser the earth is this time plagron light mix the lamp is at the start at 25 watts and 20cm above canopy i will start to remove water from the system by placeing a spongecloth on the waterslide i think the earth is a bit on the wet side Also want to add nutrients at some point and fresh nematodes to make sure i dont get the damn flies again i move the controller to the other side to make sure the sensor for temp and humidity is close to the plants I had to change the soil mid week as it was too hot. It was made from last year's FLO Florganics and too bad... It switched to biotabs NL And put ZK 1 and ZK 2 in the fridgegrow system. I removed ZK 3... WHATEVER FLO Florganics is actually a great product and as soon as it is available again we will use it again... There was trouble with the factory and Flo learnt a lot. Now the fertilizer gets tested in and independent lab.... END of week all looks great the plants are growing the one that had too many nutirents for a while is now ... bigger of course

This new week started better as with some flushes I brought the runoff back to 6.5/7, the plant seems to be growing well
