🌿 **Moby Dick Auto Grow Week 9 Update: Harvest Time Approaches!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exhilarating update on the progress of our Moby Dick Auto adventure as we hit Week 9 of the grow cycle. With excitement mounting and buds maturing, let's delve into the latest developments: 🌟 **Abundant Bud Growth**: At Week 9, our Moby Dick Auto marvels are truly showcasing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production reaching its peak. The once-tiny flowers have evolved into dense, resinous clusters, promising a generous harvest in the near future. Trichomes are abundant, signaling optimal cannabinoid potency and aromatic richness. 📏 **Final Phase of Flowering**: As we enter the final phase of the flowering period, our focus is on maximizing bud development while ensuring ideal ripening conditions. By meticulously managing environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we're creating the perfect environment for our plants to flourish and achieve their utmost potential. 🍃 **Leaf Aging and Nutrient Management**: As anticipated in the late flowering stage, some leaves may exhibit signs of aging as the plant redirects its energy towards bud formation. This natural progression indicates that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient regimen remains carefully calibrated, providing essential elements to support vigorous flowering without risking imbalances or deficiencies. 🔍 **Monitoring Trichome Ripeness**: With harvest drawing near, we're closely monitoring trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using magnification tools like jeweler's loupes or digital microscopes, we're scrutinizing trichomes for signs of ripeness, aiming for a blend of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of cannabinoids, as well as flavor and aroma complexity. 🌞 **Preparation for Harvest**: As we gear up for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering essential tools such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a hygienic and organized workspace to preserve the integrity of our precious buds. We'll employ proper post-harvest techniques and curing methods to safeguard terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In summary, Week 9 signifies a pivotal juncture in our Moby Dick Auto grow expedition, where patience and precision converge in anticipation of the impending harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the forthcoming update as we rejoice in the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation, yielding a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready for enjoyment and sharing. Happy growing! 🌿✨

Week 5 Everything looks good and frosty .. I’ll add the futur vert uv LED’s in a few days

🌱

All jarred up. This stuff is amazing tasting. Super smooth and tastes like real strawberry. 10 out of 10 fastbuds nailed this one.

Amazing experience with the Mix Pack, I will try it again next summer for sure. Love the variety.

Had consecutive hottest days of the year, so I had a battle keeping temps below 30c in the lung room. She's looking good but a bit over fed on nitrogen, I still have faith this one is going to produce a decent amount of solid nugs. Take it easy. Back soon. ********************************************

Finally at the end of another grow, unfortunately it's the worst grow I've done!!! My heart just wasn't in this grow! It started out well until the flowering stage. Which was right around Christmas, super busy with other things, not maintaining them every day. Leaving them days at a time 4 to5 days before checking ph & ec! So they were constantly rising to high levels, went away a few days & had a watering line come loose flooding the tent & draining the reservoir so they had no water or nutrients for days. Pure laziness!

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 Amnesia Kush clones!

Chopped the second Frostbanger after a week's flush. As you can see from the pics she is a beauty. Very good leaf to bud ratio will be easy to trim. Smell is strong. Next up will be the gorilla zkittles. Which is the biggest in the tent by far. But it's taking a while to ripen up. Then that's just leaves 1 frostbanger which I planted a couple weeks after the rest. The Frostbangers are just like photoperiods. Even for F3s they have been very stable. I can't wait to try the F8 banana purple punch 😳. This will be the last update unless I decide to add a week for the plant that's behind. Which also looks very good. If not I'll do a review and give the final weight in the next update. Very happy with this run. 🌱❄️💨

I went ahead and gave them a lil bit of voodoo just one watering with it. I am doing leaf tucking or leaf breading whenever I see possible. They all seem to like it especially #1 and #3.😊

Week 1 was smooth, didn’t tKe good pictures at first. Trying out a new set up before transplanting to the big tent.

Generative steering Day 30 sprayed with Jas Day 31 noticed spider mites

PT - BR Olá Growers ! Finalmente a flora foi iniciada, Dia 33 de vida das meninas limpei o reservatório DWC e iniciei com os nutrientes de floração. Sensi bloom part A + B, deixei o PPM em 550 para o inicio da semana. Na próxima semana irei adicionar o Bud candy. Não troquei para a lâmpada Narva vapor de sódio ainda mas ao longo desta semana irei trocar. Dia 38 - Fiz uma forte limpeza nas folhas para que os brotos pegar mais luz, ao longo das semanas irei repetir esta pratica. Dia 39 - Encerrando a primeira semana de flora, até então tudo caminhando da melhor forma. Próxima semana irei iniciar o BIG BUD Advanced Nutrients, estou ansioso para ver o desenvolvimento dos brotos. Uma observação como agora estou usando a lâmpada de vapor de sódio as fotos irão ficar meio amareladas. 😝 EN Hello Growers! Finally the flora started, Day 33 of the girls' lives I cleaned the DWC reservoir and started with the flowering nutrients. Sensi bloom part A + B, I left the PPM at 550 for the beginning of the week. Next week I will add Bud candy.I haven't switched to the Narva Sodium Vapor lamp yet but this week I will. Day 38 - I made a strong cleaning on the leaves so that the shoots get more light, over the weeks I will repeat this practice. Day 39 - Ending the first week of flora, until then everything is going well. Next week I will be starting BIG BUD Advanced Nutrients, looking forward to seeing the buds develop. An observation like I am now using the sodium vapor lamp the photos will turn a little yellowish. 😝

Starting to see some frost building up! This plant has been slower to come around but she sure shot up. I did LST a little late on the main cola so it looks a bit funky but she's living and packing on weight. I consider it a win and lesson learned <3

Week 7 of Flower . About 2 more weeks left give or take a few days .

The smell is so great wish I’d be getting more nuggets off of this girl but at least it is dense will continue to keep updating as the week goes on

Hi guys :-) . There isn't really anything to report this week 🙈🌱🙏🏻. The plant develops very nicely and gets its first real pairs . Watering is rarely and rarely, since they have an optimal air humidity in the upper range between 75% and 82% 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun with the diary and a nice week 👍😊.
