Hello. I've harvested the Mega Mouth. WOW!!! I'm very impressed with this strain. Over 1.5 k for 5 plants. and it was finished by Aug 20 with the tents help. I'm trying some new (for me) categories to add to my report. Plant Stretch (PS) 1 to 5- 1 is hardly any stretch. Bud Mutation (BM) 1 to 5- 1 is a beautiful normal bud- 5 is big weird growths like foxtails. Trim- How easy or hard it was to trim up 1- you blow on the branch and hang it up. 5- Is very hard to trim takes a long time. About- Best guess on the THC % (I've been smoking a long time) Resin- 1 is super slippery 5- is very sticky like Gorilla Glue. Size of Buds (SOB) 1- is very small 5- is the biggest buds Dense- 1- is the lightest or fluffiest 5- is the rock hard buds your bud buster has trouble busting up. Plant #1 Wet Trim 1647 g PS. 3.5 BM 3.5 Trim 4 About 21% Resin 4 SoB 4 Dense 4 Finished Dry Weight 289.5 g or 10.33 oz. Plant #2 Wet trim 1606 g PS 3,5 BM 3.9 Trim 4 About 22% Resin 3 SoB 4.7 Dense 4.3 Finished Dry Weight- 302 g or 10.78 oz. Plant #3 Wet Trim 1635 g PS 3.7 BM 3 Trim 2.8 About 20% Resin 2.8 SoB 3.7 Dense 4.5 Finished Dry Weight- 314 g or 11.21 oz. Plant #4 Wet Trim 1753 g PS 2.5 BM 2.5 Trim 3 About 22% Resin 4 Falls off easily- Clumpy Dense 2.5 Final Dry Weight- 343.5 g or 12.26 oz. Plant #5- Wet Trim 1787 g PS 3.5 BM 3.7 Trim 3 About 24% Resin 2.5 Dense 2.5 Finished Dry Weight- 355.5 g or 12.69 oz. The taste is sweet and smooth to go down with a nice balanced buzz. There was some pests around. I found thrips damage in veg and got some Spinosad to take care of that. Saw some fungus gnats around but they didn't do much damage. Easy to grow and trim. This is a recommended strain. Chuck.

Lovin her so far. Fingers crossed but i havent had a problem with her yet. Did my math wrong on the nutes so i fixed that this week. Spread out leaves so shes easy to defoliate and she doesnt really need it much cause all the parts still get light. She just started showing pistils which im super happy happy about The stems smell super dank but still a pretty weak smell so far. 3 days later and shes even taller and the pistils are starting to look like buds. She dried up already so i gave them an extra litre of water this time so i adjusted the nutes a bit. I plucked a lot of the big leaves again. IDK if that was a good idea or not but it felt right because so many of the lower branches werent getting that much light. I didnt go too crazy and left some leaves. She bounced back fine last time so im not worried. Cant wait to see some buds!!

Holaa sexta de la Negra44 y ultima semana de vegetación lo que me tiene muy contento. Hago los riegos 1/1, uno solo con agua(EC: 0.4) y el otro con los fertilizantes. En los riegos estoy utilizando Sensi cal-mag para llegar a una EC base de 0.4 y luego aplicar los fertilizantes. Regulo el PH con los reguladores de BioBizz. El día de hoy (04/08) se le realizo una defoliación pequeña en la cual solo elimine los brotes del primer nodo de la planta, luego se hizo la segunda aplicación vía foliar de Delta9 y en 10 días será la ultima aplicación que será a través del riego. El cambio del fotoperiodo lo hago de manera progresiva. Le doy dos horas más de oscuridad cada día hasta llegar a 12/12, el día de mañana (05/08) será el primer día con el ciclo 12/12 por esto el periodo de floración a empezado el día 43 de vida de esta planta. Durante esta semana la planta creció bastante y todo va bien encaminado. Ahora solo queda esperar que todo siga así y esperar que las temperaturas con el led apagado no sean tan bajas. Cualquier recomendación sera bien recibida!! *Great White se mide en gramos. (Dosis: 1gr/3lt)

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. All 4 seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 4 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perilite and mix it all together. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08.20. Nr1 and 2 grow and thrive. Number 3 just got rid of the seedpod and is folding out the sheets. Number 4 is a bit shy and can only be seen if you look carefully into the soil. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-21. Nr 1 and 2 is doing well. Nr3 is trying to catch up and Nr4 is still shy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-23. Transplanted 2 girls from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. The other 2 girls have to wait a little more before transplant to the autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. New pic and movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr3 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now for Nr1 and 2 so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and movie. Everything is looking great right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New pics and videos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. New videos of the girls this morning. Nr1 and 3 looks great and nr 2 is looking a little funny, maby a little stressed. Kl. 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Added video. Kl.. 23.00. New videos, defoliation and leaftucking. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 0 marks the start of the Wedding Cake grow. The seed germinated successfully and emerged cleanly from the medium. Early development looks healthy and balanced, with the seedling standing upright and showing no signs of stress or stretching. The cotyledons opened properly, and the first signs of true leaf development are beginning to appear. At this stage, the plant is focusing mainly on root establishment, laying the foundation for strong vegetative growth later on. ⸻ 💧 Watering • Very light watering only • Medium kept slightly moist, never saturated • No nutrients added yet 🌡️ Environment • Temperature: ~24–25 °C • Humidity: ~70–80% • Gentle airflow to support stem strength

Day 43 Flower (Day 85) Today is the first day of week seven of flower, and this is supposed to be the last week of flower for this fast strain, but I doubt that either of the girls will be done this week. That being said, it's pretty much a waiting game at this point since we're on the home stretch. The right girl should be done soon-ish, but the left girl will probably take a few more weeks. I just got my second Corona vaccine shot a couple of days ago, and as soon as it is entirely up and running, I'm off on vacation. After 1.5 years of this pandemic crap, I'm SO ready to go traveling again. To prepare for my travels, I installed a drip irrigation system in the left girl's tent. It's a simple system with a 10-liter water bag, some hose, and a few drip emitters, but once dialed in, it should be enough to provide the left girl with water for around a week. The system was a piece of cake to install, and I wrapped the water bag with some white mylar to avoid the water getting heated and also to reflect the light better. It's a bit ghetto still, but I'll make it prettier once I see that the system works as intended. I installed the system now already to give me time to dial it in. I'm hoping that the right girl will be done before I travel, but if she isn't, then I'll hook her up to the automated drip irrigation system that I use for our tomatoes. Come hell or high water. I'm going on that vacation, dammit! Lastly, I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. Day 44 Flower (Day 86) I think those extra photons from the new light are starting to work their magic in the left tent, and the left girl is slowly starting to fatten up. In the right tent, everything is just cruising along and I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water today. Day 45 Flower (Day 87) The drip irrigation system in the left tent is working out great so far. Only been a couple of days though but yeah, so far so good. The right girl is packing on some weight into her buds and some of the thinner branches are starting to fall over. I've ordered some plant yoyos for support but they won't arrive until next week so I'll make do until then. Lastly, I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.3 water. Day 46 Flower (Day 88) Not much is happening on a day-by-day basis this late in flower. I hope those plant yoyos get here asap as the right girl is struggling to keep some of her branches up under the weight of the buds. I want to go in and tuck some fan leaves in her canopy to allow better light penetration. Still, I can only tuck a couple without starting to knock over branches as other branches precariously support them. (Note to self: use a second scrog next photo grow to give support after the stretch.) I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water, and that was all for today. Day 47 Flower (Day 89) Woooo! The yoyos arrived today even though they weren't due until next week. It was a breeze to put up; attach the yoyo at the roof of the tent with a zip tie, pull down the hook and attach it to the branch, done. I ended up using only three since the other branches are standing quite well once those three worst offenders are supported. A fourth branch could also use support, but the branch is way in the back, and I can't get to it without getting my arms and hands all covered in resin as just about everything in the tent is super sticky now. The buds on the right girl are very resinous and have a strong smell. I should bring out the microscope soon and start to check the trichomes to see where she's at. I also gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water. The left girl is just hanging out in her tent, doing her thing, and slowly fattening up. The drip system is working great so far. After four days, the water bag is about half empty, so it looks promising that it will last a week. I've been monitoring the soil humidity, and it has slowly been dropping these four days, but the drop is so slow that it is next to negligible. Day 48 Flower (Day 90) Today, the left girl's soil humidity did a small drop, but it is still in a great range. I guess it is because as the water in the bag gets less, the water pressure is reduced, resulting in the water flowing more slowly out of the drip emitters. Not a huge deal, though, as it is now five days since the last time I hand-watered the left girl, so this irrigation system will work just fine when I go on vacation for a few days. I filled up another 3 liters of pH 6.1 water in the bag, and I'll keep an eye on it to see if the soil humidity increases. Speaking of watering, I treated myself today to a new, better pH pen. As a living soil grower, I don't use any nutes, so I thought I might as well make sure I have a quality pH pen to make sure the water is on point. My old Dr. Meter pen has served me just fine, but this bluelab pen is a lot faster, and it has a backlit display which makes it easier to use in low light situations. A friend of mine recently started growing, so I'll gift my old pen to him as well as my old tiny, drying tent, and the ViparSpectra P600 light as I don't need that now when I have a much more powerful light for the small tent. The right girl got 3 liters of pH 6.1 water as I haven't hooked up the automated drip irrigation system to her yet but will do that in the next few days as I suspect that she won't be finished either before vacation. Lastly, I started to brew some compost tea to give the girls one final boost of microbes and nutrients. I used a similar recipe as previously: worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and molasses. I upped the castings and neem, though and I'll leave this tea brewing for 24 hours and feed it to the girls tomorrow. Day 49 Flower (Day 91) The last day of the seventh week of flower, and all is well in the tents. According to the breeder, this week is supposed to be the final week of flower, but none of my girls are near ready. I took out the microscope today and checked the trichomes on the right girl, and I would guess she has at least another week, if not two, to go as her trichomes are still clear. I might even end up running her longer as I'm looking for a decent amount of amber this harvest. This strain is supposed to be a heavy, almost narcotic Indica, and I'm aiming to make her as potent as possible. A "last-smoke-of-the-night" kind of smoke. Lately, there has been a noticeable cannabis smell in my lung room, and last night I tracked down the cause. It turned out that there was a leak between the carbon filter and the fan, so the fan blew out partly unfiltered air. Nothing that some duct tape couldn't fix, and this morning the smell was gone. The right girl is sticky af and has a strong smell. Initially, there's a strong citrus fragrance with hints of lime and grapefruit, but once those terps have started to evaporate, there's an underlying fragrance of pine. The left girl has even longer to go, and it wouldn't surprise me if she takes another month. We made some guacamole last night, but a couple of the avocados had gone bad, so I put them on my pots. My loss is my worms' gain. All I did today was to feed the compost tea I started yesterday to the girls. Each one got 3 liters of unfiltered tea at pH 6.7.

Greetings, fellow cultivators and green enthusiasts! Week 5 of our Apolo F1's journey has unfolded with the promise of blooms as she gracefully transitions into the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase. Join me as we continue this botanical saga, witnessing the emergence of blossoms, the transformation into a lush green bush, and the strategic shift from last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The botanical ballet of bending and shaping persists, guiding our Apolo F1 into a beautifully orchestrated dance of controlled chaos. Every leaf and branch is a stroke on the canvas of growth, creating a masterpiece that reflects both elegance and efficiency. The green virtuoso is not just growing; she's evolving into a captivating bush of vitality. As she enters the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase, the first signs of blooms are beginning to grace our Apolo F1. It's like witnessing the unveiling of nature's artistry, as tiny buds emerge, promising a bounty of blossoms in the weeks to come. The anticipation is as exciting as the first notes of a symphony! The bold decision to top our flourishing Apolo F1 is revealing its impact. Multiple colas are forming, creating a lush and bushy canopy. This strategic haircut is paying dividends as our green virtuoso prepares to showcase a rich and complex performance. It's a testament to the power of calculated risks in the art of cultivation. Amidst the botanical crescendo, a shift in the aqueous symphony is underway. This week marks the transition from the last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The nutrient-rich serenade continues, with a TDS of 390 ppm and a pH of 6.0, ensuring our Apolo F1 receives the specific nourishment needed for the impending floral spectacle. With each passing day, the moon on harvest day beckons. Our green companion is on the trajectory to a bountiful harvest, and this journey is not just hers; it's a celebration for flowering girls around the world. Each bud, a testament to the collective magic of cultivation. As we marvel at the unfolding blooms and the lush greenery, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for being the architects of this nutrient symphony, and to Royal Queen Seeds for the botanical star of our green opera.

So I'm having another go at LSD-25. Day 1 she looked quite sickly if I'm honest. She's picked up ever since. I've put the timelapse camera on her for the forthcoming week so I can keep a very close eye on her growth.

16/07 - Week 6 of veg and the ladies are looking very happy after their last watering yesterday. I added some nutes for flowering and they are about to reach the scrog net. I will flip in a few days when the Lemon skunk grow hits week 6 as well. 18/07 - Watered with just water phd at 6.8. Gave both of them 1L. One of the plants had some burnt/curling tips so I increased the light by 5 cm. Three more days until flip. I’m expecting a lot of vertical growth in the next few weeks. 21/07 - I watered the brown pit with 1L of water. The other pot still felt a little heavy so I’ll water it tomorrow. Hope you have a great day! Peace

Only the gorilla glue from fast buds made it smells danks think I need more direct light next year i did have a tantrum when I saw most of them died so haven't bothered going up for this since then
