The pineapple auto flower was germinated at the same time as the blueberry. It took some time to catch up, I'm not sure what I did wrong but it's just now starting to show signs of future success. I had a couple other auto strains that all failed to sprout due to my negligence. Update on those, my last seeds seem to have taken when I opten to put them in my outdoor hydro setup for germination. The conditions must be better with the uv from the sun preventing over dampening from being a molds paradise. I don't have the time to watch these all day so this was my best shot. I noticed some yellowing. Turns out my ph was off because I never calibrated my ph sensor. Fixed everything 10-Jul, hopefully she comes back to vitality soon or the yellow is just light green from the new leaves.. I diluted the nutrient solution down today but only to 1000 from being up to 1200. If nothing changes in a few days I will replace half the current reservoir supply with new ph adjusted water. I don't dechlorinate with a filter but I bubble the water for a day and hit it with uv just for good measure before adding new water. Update, after researching, it appears this is iron deficiency. Hopefully correcting the ph is enough to prevent the yellowing from continuing. Fingers crossed. Else I need a supplement. Update July 11, after calibrating my ph monitor and getting back in acceptable range yesterday [I have been shooting for 6.0 or just below] the leaves are becoming more dark green in color and the yellowish color is dissipating. You can see some of the lower leaves have some sort of burn. I am not sure if it is heat damage or caused by ph imbalance but I don't see this on the newer growth.

Keep watering with same nutrients mix, because I had add before to soil some extra worm castings, palm tree ash, bat guano and egg shells. Day 24. keep doing all the same feeding with 2.5L nutrients mix.

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Week5 the temperatures dropped a bit and I did what I could...❄️❄️ Earlier this week I had to flush this little one because I thought she had nitrogen toxicity. Maybe not... But From the water that ran out I realized that the soil was full of nuts and after the flush I didn't give it any more water. as I use a 12 liter vase, you can imagine how much water was retained in the root system. for that reason and because the water is good quality and has an amount of micronutrients, I didn't have to worry about giving water this week. let's see next week, wish me luck 🤞☺️🌞

Day 35 from sprout, wk 4 Veg for these girls. This being my first grow I obviously need work on my LST techniques lol. I Am am trying to let them grow naturally for the most part and just trying to pull them higher branches aside to allow the lower growths meet the canopy. Im not sure what to do with the sour diesel as it has become like a damn hedge and so dense that im just gonna let it go until after the stretch to defoliate since i like the natural canopy it has going. They been doing really well and they are drinking alot more water now almost double what they were drinking last week. But mostly just water every other day now. I am considering on a 6 week veg depending how this next week goes.

6/ 1AM MONDAY Slowing down now, they look good. 6am light watt down to about 90W. Should be good for the last week of just water 5.7. Calibrated 3 pH meters 2 yellow pretty good. More expensive Orange VIVOSUN was garbage. Only buy cheap ones 6/3 238pm I might take them all down and re-use the dirt into a 3 gallon fabric pot because I have a Fsst Buds Gorilla Cookies that looks like she could be HUGE if I move her. These seemed to have maxed out. 7z is the most beautiful, she is like a fountain of champagne!!!!!! Frost Banger is leafy, not big buds, not much smell and Purple Haze has a really heavy smell I dont want to lose. I will get a little less than an ounce from each, pretty small harvest but this is still experimenting with smaller than usual pots, MABYE 2 GALLONS IS THE SWEET SPOT, I will try on the next grow. 6/4 230AM they are slowing down now. I could go for 1 month or 2 longer but I will lose flavor if I do. so JUST WATER from now on. Then chop and use the dirt from these 3 to plant one 3 gallon Gorilla Cookies from a parallel grow in Tent 1. 4am They seem to be at peak flavor......MUST NOT KEEP GOING..... I will chop this week. I want them to dry out, then a flush of just water to rinse the soil for the next grow. Now I prep the soil for the next grow. All into a 3 gallon fabric pot with G.C. From FAST BUDS, that has the most potential harvest with 100% re-used soil. Senysem and Tasty Terps will be the final since as they replace all enzymes and growth engines for the next plant. Im doing Elon fast turnaround rocket grows!! with robot grow tents!! 6/5 5am SENSIZYM 2mL L & TASTY TERPS 0.5mL L, 6.1PH. 🚨 Tent REDESIGN..... the surge protector is a source of heat, so are the USB adapters for the fans and cameras... MAYBE ....cut opening, move ALL electrical outside and feed usb cables through the arms then seal off... Cut through the tent or sting cables up the arms and cut the ducting, probably easier to cut a port in the ducting. 10am SENSIZYM TASTY TERPS One turns debris into simple sugars and TT eats the sugars and give a big boost of resin/flavor. 2L of water 4ML S. 1ml TT......PERFECT RATIO.... Using this mix was perfect timing. S will liquify debris TT will provide the amino acid/enzymes eating part. Beautiful response.. THEN I put the new light in and at the same watt too bright for the plants in there, I experienced at 93 watts and they are stressed....better luck next time.... goddmanit 6/6/2025 1222am New light to 90 plants on Custom built risers, 48oz cottage cheese containers from Ralphs work great, and double as a cleaning bucket....geenis the smart me are 6/7 520am they have peaked in flavor and I think they’re ready to be taken down. because of the soil bugs I don’t think it’s a good idea to reuse the soil. It seems pretty contaminated which is a real bummer and I don’t have the resources to rinse the soil in hydrogen peroxide and go through all the sterilization and I could just end up getting bugs all over the place or the egg something like that it will contaminate the room. It’s the reason I do not grow food or other plants in the medical marijuana room I also use that room as a filter for the house. The 6 dust & 3 carbon filters are on all the time so I always have one room that has some very clean air. I can’t spend a lot cause it’s not good for your human body to be an sterile environment like that for too long & body heat warms the room 2 degrees 240pm Marshal, Will and Holly never came back, so im going to go ahead and eat their food. Plants are doing great. Sleestacks started showing up asking for weed for some reason. 6/8/25 9:02am BIG FINIsH!!!!!❤️❤️💥💥🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰🔔🔔🔔🔔🎉🎊🎊🚨💥🚨💥👍👍. ALL DONE I DID IT!!!! START TO FINISH, I ACTUALLY DID IT!!!! SMALL PLANTS ROCK WHEN IT COMES TO TRIMMING AND FINISHING RINSES AND STORAGE.....I FLUSHED ALL PLANTS WITH A GALLON OF PH5.9....THEN TRIMMED AND REMOVED FAN LEAVS ALL PRETTY, NOW JUST TO DRY THE PLANT ON THE VINE IN THE TENT, THEN CHOP, INTO DRYING TENT FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN INTO TERPLOC BAGS!!!!! 1130am. FROST BANGER AUTO. -- 8-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME!! VERY SHORT!!! NICE IN SMALL SPACES She is very leafy, likes bigger container than I use, she doesnt need much nutrient work bare minimum she holds lots of nutrients in her system. PURPLE HAZE AUTO 8-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME! Medium hight VERY heavy smell the heaviest smell out of this and 7Z and FROST BANGER AUTO. Chuncky build not too leafy. 7Z AUTO 9-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME! She was the MOST beautiful This is the one for show.....She looks like a CHAMPAGNE FOUNTAIN!!!!! I have not seen this before, massive pistil formation for the bubbles look.... I REALLY like this one, In a bigger pot topped would look just amazing!!!!! HOLY SMOLYl....I typed the review for tommorow!!!!!!! I HAVE to be awake at midnight for MONDAY HARVEST!!!!!!! I have lost about 2/3 of my body mass, not much of me left. I wont be around much longer kids. 6/10 1050pm 7Z.....just took a little from the bottom branch. PERFECT, she turned out perfect. 1130pm I can not figure out taste but it feels fresh, smooth, clean, refreshing.. Smoke is clean, ash is clean, water in the bong is not as yellow not as many left over nutrients....love it, will get more. 10 + 1 7Z just for beauty and smooth not disgusting overpowering high, just right!!!! 6/11 1230am getting more grovebags TerpLoc bags.....FROM THEIR WEBSITE...EVERYTHING ELSE IS FAKE. 143AM GC 🚨🚨 TOP REDSIGN. NODE 5 & 6 HAVE 2 EXTRA BUD SITES.... I USUALLY TOP AT 3 OR 4 AND THEN TRIM OFF NODE 1 DEPENDING ON MAIN STALK HEIGHT, EASIER TO WATER AND MAINTIAN. BUT I CUT OFF NODE 1 THRU 4 AND LEFT MAIN COLA. INVERTED TOP??? SHE IS GIVING ME IDAS.... I WILL TOP GOAT AND GROW AT NODE 5 & 6 GOAT 2 WILL BE TOPPED AT NODE 4 & 4.....🚨🚨

got bitten by a spider and realized i was always wondering what my spiritual animal was, and realized it was spiders after that awakening of asking mother natures help me and spiders made a blood pack and since then nature has been helping me out by protecting my plants, from thieves and bad rotten people. and nature gave me spiders to protect my children. one of my spiders thats protecting the rooibaard is called GREGGK.

🗓️ Week 12 complete – 8th week of flowering (late bloom) 🔹 General: Seriotica is now deep into late bloom. Buds are gaining more density and trichomes, and the scent is getting stronger day by day. She leans toward a creamy, earthy aroma profile – very rich and pleasant 🌬️🌿 🔹 Feeding: After a period of reduced EC levels, feeding was ramped back up this week. Input is currently at EC 1.65–2.0 / pH 6.3. Drain has built up to 3.2 EC, but the plant is still handling it well – no visible signs of overfeeding. No flush is being done yet – the final run with Flawless Finish is planned for around one week from now. 🔹 Observations – Seriotica Frosty, compact colas with light signs of EC accumulation, but overall still thriving ❄️ She’ll stay in the tent for about 10–14 more days before harvest.

These last two weeks I had trobles taking care of her because I was never home and it kept raining, but she stayed strong and her flowers are nearly ready, I'm guessing another week. I love how she's so small but with these enormous frlowers (in proportion to the plant). I still struggled with the mite infection, so I need to continue with neem oil, knowing it will effect the final taste. Nothing else to do though, I prefer a bad taste than smoking insects

Blütewoche 6 Die volle Blüte Noch gibt das Blümchen vollgas und die Blpten schwellen weiter. Da sich aber die Trichome schon milchig färben wird die Düngerdosis bereits reduziert. In ein bis 2 Wochen kann geerntet werden. * Zustand der Pflanze: Gesunde Pflanze mit immer dicker werden Buds, * Wichtige Ereignisse: Reduzierung des Dünger * Düngung & Messwerte: * Gießwasser: pH ca. 6,3. Leitwert 0.8 mS. * Drain: Wir stellen sicher, dass der pH-Wert nicht unter 5,5 und nicht über 6,8 liegt und der Leitwert die +/- 500 S Abweichung einhält. * Anpassungen: Aufgrund des Eigengewichtes der Buds mussten an Tag 88 (Blütetag43) Stützen eingebaut werden.

Dropped hours to 17 to get closer to the 15 we will have outside in a few weeks. A week of battles for this tent. Lotta pest activity. Bulb mites and Nematodes (never going to have regular perennial flowers and dahlia bulbs in the tent again), lessons learned. Active pest strategies tried: - listerine / water soak - Neem oil / water soak - Dr. Bronner soap / water soak - worm castings to boost balanced microbial life - insect Frass to provide chitin - diatomaceous earth top dress - mosquito Dunks prior to organic amendments to deal with any eggs/larvae in soil

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Lemonpaya de FastBuds. Por dónde empiezo, fue una variedad que me resultó complicada cultivar y a nada que alimentada lo marcaba las flores son bien compactas y van llenas de resina, tienen tonos verdes bonitos, y tiene unos aromas afrutados bastante marcados con toques citricos. Es muy complicada a mi parecer, es de ciclo de 2 meses y medio, pero bien agradecida aún así. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

This lady looks super cute, very short size, not tall at all at the moment, really looks like a plant coming from the cross of COOKIES KUSH X Casey Jones showing beautiful fat indica leafs, really good plant, it's a mister y for me, didn't know the strain and this great Spanish Bank called Gecko 🦎 seeds. They have provided me their awesome strains, so here we are to show them to everybody!! Let's do this my beloved cannabis community!
