This week some of the plants are starting to show a few brown pistils on the calyxes as an indicator that peak bloom period is occurring. I don’t expect them to do much other than fill out a bit at this point with exception of some of the more Sativa phenotypes like the Tangerine Dream. One of the these seedplants failed to bloom properly it may lack the autoflowering genes. I don't want to risk damaging the roots in the system by culling it. I might leave it in to see what happens and transplant it before I clean out the system for the fall grow.
I’m pretty satisfied with the autoflower grow so far but I do have some room for improvement:
1) Next grow I will use CNS17 Ripe possibly from start to finish to see if that improves the flowering of the plants. I feel that my feed is high in nitrates so I am starting to flush this week.
2) You can see by the plants all showed variation in physical appearance and Trichrome production. The only plant that has gone purple out of the batch and is a high yielding Gorilla Zittles from Barneys. If I grow autoflowers again in this system I want to choose plants that are a little more uniform. I think the Botanicare Turbo Garden and similar systems are best suited for clones as they grow a little more uniform. Autoflowers even from the same strain have a wide variation which is cool because every seed is a surprise.
3) I need an overhead plant support. I am not sure how the plants survived some pretty high winds. One stem broke and I repaired it enough so that the plant actually survived.
4) I'm working on a microcontroller sensor node to allow some automation to the system.
My favorite plants in this batch are the Dinafem Amnesia Auto CBD based only on aesthetics at this point.
The Blue Dream Auto from Humbolt is one of the smaller plants but it has quite a bit of resin on it. The smaller plants may have been stunted as my nute level from the beginning was approaching upper limits for leaf burn (1.7-1.8 EC). I had since backed down but over-fertilization in early stages is not reversible and comes at a cost of plant health and vigor.
I took a video to try and show the overall garden progress. I did not defoliate this grow which makes it hard to see the individual flower structure but I will have defoliated harvest photos coming up soon!

She’s recovered from defoliation and buds are everywhere. THe tent is smelling great. Almost to the halfway point in flowering. Getting excited to see her swell.

Bernice (my largest at 6" tall) got topped today after the 4th node. All 3 others will wait a few more days till they reach the same height and node spacing/growth. Will start foliar feeding of (1 gal water/2ml - liquid seaweed/2ml - gold shield silica/2ml boomerang) tonight on 03/06/21. Plants seem to be drinking water a bit more this week, meaning their root systems are growing and getting stronger. Will likely feed plain RO water tomorrow and check runoff PPM & PH. All in all they're growing much better, at the start of this week they were showing signs of deficiencies, due to me not giving them a good feeding early enough (I was afraid of over-feeding and instead under-fed!). Due to under-feeding some of my fan leaves on the early growth have gotten some brown spots, which I'm unconcerned with as these will eventually either fall off or be trimmed off by myself before sending to flower.

Well day 34 of flower today week 6. Let me start by saying that this week hasn't been too good for my white widow, all sort of issues, first she started to burn with the nutes, that was corrected fast, but then I had a power outbreak on my air pump and water quality went to hell follow by that Ph sky rocket and was very hard to keep steady. All that is now under control bit she suffered a lot this week and I'm afraid my yield is going to be affected by this terrible week. 😕

Wow the smell! ghost train smells like a citrusy diesel and the pineapple is getting more of an acidic fruity aroma. they are finally starting to put on some size closing in on the end of week 4 flower, next week i will step up the nutes. I defoliared the bottom 50% of the plant now that it seems to have finished stretching, and removed any big fan leaves blocking the better bud sites. i couldn’t ask for a better first grow so far!

This is been a pleasure to watch flower and grow. In the earlier seedling stage she was a bit delicate and there was a little cupping to the leaves but that ironed out later on. She started showing flowers or a pre-sex real early but then just started filling out Calyx on top of calyx. Flower flower flower. This was a strain that I wanted to grow as long as possible we’re gonna be going into week 13 so I decided to cut her down branch by branch. I’m going to be doing a cold drying process that I’ve been experimenting with. It’s where I will place it in a cool and preferably low humidity area. I have a cooler that has a small heater air conditioner installed into it. I will keep the flowers that are drying half the time in the cooler and half of the time at room temperature so that way we retain maximum Terps.

Had great results, especially when i upgraded to RO water.. if theres one thing i could of changed it would of been using the reverse Osmosis water sooner.
The rest of the grow was pretty easy, didn't even plant train as this was suppose to be a hassle free run. It was just that. Some good genetics from seedstockers too.
Good stuff!

Have fun with the update.
Hi everyone :-) .
This week she has continued to develop very well.
She reacts very well to the training :-).
It was poured twice with 1.2 liters each this week.
Everything was cleaned and refilled.
Stay healthy 🙏🏻

Day 29. I adjust the LST to form the canopy. pH at 5.8
Day 30. It's not necessary to adjust anything, just a little the main stem. pH at 5.7. Growing well :D
Day 32. I change the water in the tank, I go from the vegetative table to the flowering stage, keeping the same Ec pH to 5.9. I make some small adjustments to the LST and remove a few fan leaves.
Day 35. Growth is pretty good. The pH drops about 0.5 by day, the plant drinks about 1 liter a day, (I think this is due to the decrease in pH). First defoliation.
In general, the week has been good. Now I have to deal with the daily pH drops I think caused by the water intake of the plant.
Possibly one more week of stretching remains, Auto Mandarina is 70% sativa 30% indica, so an Indica dominance would be better for my set up.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la sexta semana de floracion de estas Gorilla Melon feminizadas de fastbuds.
Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor.
Y ya superaron el shock provocado por el mismo trasplante.
El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%.
Ya empiezan a formarse las flores y progresan a buen ritmo.
Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

She grew another 10cm this week!!!
Slow and steady!
Looks like she is making some nice dense flowers, but we'll see in a few more weeks.
I note she is very bushy for an auto. Very similar to an Auto Purple Kouskush I grew a few months back! 💪

Day 35 flowering: Hi all , I hope we are all healthy , sane , and loved in our worlds. It has been another productive week for the two ladies sat basking in the Viparspectra sunshine.
The temps in the UK have been low the last few weeks so they can settle into a less hostile heat zone. They are continuing to use those reds and infrared to their advantage with building some.nice long colas among both plants. The lights penetration is really good so they are having no issues with lower bud growth at all so far.
The Northern lights has really begun to cola stack now with approx 8 mains that ade swelling by the day. She looks like she could be a very nice yield based on those alone. Fingers crossed she keeps swelling. Her buds and pistils are crystal white at the moment with no signs of ageing so she is in her freshest state of flowering right now . This is a good sign of a longer possible flowering period than the 8 weeks usual. The Grandaddys mimosa is more advanced on her ripening with quite a few orange pistils ( dying off) being replaced by fresh ,white , vibrant ones ( new pollen catchers). She has a good covering of orange hairs already for her flowering stage and could be a very early 7 week harvest possibly. She is nowhere near as big as the Northern lights and is being elevated to keep her in the canopy but she has approx 10 mains that are looking shaggy and with a high leaf ratio too. She is starting to have a nice fruity tang to her smell now when watered or handled. She could ⁹ me by swelling up huge in the next couple of weeks but I wont be too worried if not.
The light is performing really well and has done Viparspectra justice too. I am genuinely shocked at how capable it is for its size.
The other strains are doing very well too with the Gorilla cookies looking very bud productive and big. They got an amazing start into flowering from the xs1500 and I wish they were under the new offering from their range but I am hoping to twist their arms into letting me try a couple of xs 4000's from showing how well we can use this light. Lol we can but hope.....
Be safe well growmies

Whats up everbody,
the plants turned into flower and looking great so far.
The scOG is doing its work. Love it.
SOG needs so much effort, more than just 2 or 3 Plants. Thats insane. I hope its worth it.

4 Purple Push Pops PPP (grew 2023 outside). Clones from my clone guy
1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, Jacks RO + dry koolblom and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension
Garage grow SoCal
Another hot week in the garage averaging 88°. The girls are starting to get fat and enter the ripening stage. Purples are strong.
I got purple trichomes!!
We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. We switched nutes and reservoir funk is gone.
This weeks accomplishments:
Switch from GH to Jacks RO
Install separate reservoirs for black cherry gelato and purple push pops
Clean all autopots and reservoir lines.
Install separate lines for black cherry gelato
This weeks issues:
Spider mites. Found them in the outside grow and found a few leaves with them inside. Big time nightmare. Primarily on the gelatos inside. Doing manual scouting and removal every day.
Long term issues
It’s hot. High 80s low 90s all week. So the same - Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves
Preventing the spread of mites and mold issues during high humidity conditions
Managing girlfriend expectations through harvest.
I hope you all are having as much fun as I am.
Best of luck gromies.
Check out my black cherry gelato grow and compare side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows on the same schedule, same nutes and same clone batch 👍
