Beginning of week...
So the ladies are beginning to stack pistils at the crowns.. The Mandarin Cookies has been stacking a little quicker.. Thicker.. They both are showing purple tips on the stiples.. Not the pistils or leaves.. The stiples.. ETHOS Cookies has been showing that for ever now.. The Mandarin Cookies has just started showing these purple tipped stiples.. Gorgeous plants.. Even tho Mandarin Cookies is super freakishly tall and stretchy.. And the ETHOS Cookies is basically a runt.. Doesn't want to make ANY stems.. But plenty of leaves lol.. She should be able to hold up some super fat colas pretty easily tho so that's awesome! I stopped using the Armor Si and the FloraGro.. As well as the MYCO Plus (powder) stuff.. Also going down on the FloraMicro.. Just basically using 1 tsp/gallon of the CALiMAGic, FloraMicro, FloraBloom, and Kushie Kush.. 30 drops/gallon of the Floralicous Plus (not sure if that's too much to be honest).. 2 tsp/gallon of the FloraNectar Fruit-N-Fusion and last but not least... 2 mL/gallon of Hydroguard... *phew*.. Damn that's alot.. But that's alot less then what I was giving these girls... They should do alot better..
Mid week...
I have defoliated the ETHOS Cookies a bit more.. Mostly trying to make sure there is good airflow and no larfy producing branches in there.. She should produce some really nice colas with how short and stubby she is lol.. As for the Mandarin Cookies, I've just been supercropping the shit outta the really tall branches.. I've never supercropped a plant so much lol.. And I'm not good at it at all.. Most of the branches are split open, bruised.. Just very crappy looking.. It will heal, they always do 😂 I just hate hurting them like this.. Especially in flower.. But it's still pretty early in flower.. And the pistils are still exploding just as much as the non-supercropped branches.. I can't wait!!!...
End of week..
Both girls are exploding with trichomes! I love these super frosted strains! The ETHOS Cookies seems to be stackin calyxes faster than the Mandarin Cookies.. I can tell the ETHOS Cookies is gonna stack some fat ass colas! The ETHOS Cookies runoff is doing good.. pH going in is 6.2 - 6.3 and runoff is usually 6.0 - 6.2.. Foliage is nice and green.. She may be nitrogen sensitive deeper into flower.. Maybe not.. We shall see.. As for the Mandarin Cookies.. Wow.. This girl is super tall.. She is also stackin calyxes, pistils and nicely. The runoff is still giving me issues but as far as I can tell, she is accepting it and making the best of what she has. Going in pH is 6.2 - 6.3.. Runoff is coming out 5.6 - 5.7.. It's bothering the shit outta me! Lol.. It doesn't seem to matter what pH I put in, it will ALWAYS runoff at 5.6 - 5.7 pH.. But like I said.. She is accepting it as long as I keep the "in" pH in my preferred range.. I usually keep the "going in" pH at 6.1 - 6.3 the ENTIRE grow.. I always get great results doing this.. Its best for Calcium uptake and Calcium is a huge issue when it comes to growing in coco coir.. Anyways.. Both ladies are doing great.. Both look gorgeous and healthy.. Oh yeah!! I like to rub the trichomes to get a little idea of what the terpenes are gonna be like.. And hoooooly shit.. ETHOS Cookies smells like nothing I've ever smelled before.. I can't even begin to explain it.. Literally.. And the Mandarin Cookies is starting to give off a nice citrusy scent.. I hope this carbon filter is able to scrub the air enough.. Cuz if these are anything like the Early Lemon Berry, then yeah, this carbon filter is gonna be put thru the ultimate test lol.. Anyways.. On to the next week!....

Day 50 from seed and these BCN criticals have a lovely citrus smell. When i open the tent, its the first thing i smell.
Theyre all healthy and running. Lights are still on 20/4. Bit of redish/amber hairs showing up. When i loom at other pictures its just the genes of the genetic. I Cant wait to harvest this!
Ive started adding more biobizz as it states on the chart. And then i water with normal tap water every 2 days!
I will post an update for week 8 next week!
One love!

Today is day 42 from seeds in soil. Just watering and defoliation this week. Stopped lst today as the tent is pretty much touching all walls. Plants looking good and growing fast. Only real issue is 1 in full flower, 3 close and one seems to still be in straight veg. Hopefully they all flip soon or going to cause me drying issues come time to harvest. Won't feed again again for a couple of weeks, just water and fish sh!t every other watering. So far so good.

I left on vacation for 2 weeks and had someone top up my water. When I returned i noticed temperature was not dropping inside the tent properly due to a plugged carbon filter. Removed for now to get temperature in check.
Replacement on its way.

MrJones Ztrawberriez Auto
🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓
💧 Feeding - Using Gaia Green Grow / Bloom and Compost Teas
🍃Training / LST-Defoliation-Topping TBA
🕷️ IPM - Will be using Green Cleaner" 1 OZ per Gallon, and CannControl from Mammoth alternating between products each month for Integrated Pest
🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓
▶️Saturday 11.11.23 - These girls continue to look good, the smaller one is doing better, it will be small, but healthy, Week 4, this week most FB strains begin to stretch into flower, today I started a compost tea, see recipe below, and will be feeding tomorrow. Moved the plants into my stealth closet, under 2 Vipar Spectare XS 1500s.
🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓
▶️Bud Description Ztrawberriez Auto produces long and fat buds with a beautiful light green shade with oftentimes purplish hues and a thick layer of resin that starts at the top of the flowers and continues all the way to the tip of the sugar leaves. It’s the typical bud structure you would expect from hybrid varieties topped with an explosion of fruity terps that’ll hit you in the face with a blend of creamy, fruity, and sweet aromas as soon as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for terp heads and extractors looking for exaggerated flavors and aromas
🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓
▶️SOIL MIX
40% ProMix HP
40% Coco Coir 70/30
15% Worm Castings
05% Malibu Compost
🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓
Compost Tea
3 Gallons of Dechlorinated H20
3 Cups Malibu Compost
2T Molasses
2 T Alfalfa Meal (DTE)
2 T Kelp Meal (DTE)
1 T Bat Guano (DTE)
1 teaspoon Rootwise Bio Elixir
1)- I used a small paint strainer to hold my composts, placing an air stone right in the bag and zip-tie it nice and tight - this allows air bubbles to really agitate the micro matter off of the compost and into your tea
2)- I like to mix in the molasses (microbe food) and start my main air stone, the dry amendments and Rootwise can be just measured in the bubbles
3) - Keep the temp of the water warm to 75F/85F - too cool and the microbes reproduce too slowly and too hot will kill them.
I do not delete my teas and let the plant pots dry out slightly before feeding.

This week I only watered the plants as needed due to planting them in the Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. From what I've been told and read I don't believe I "need" to feed them for at least 3-4 weeks but I will watch them closely.
Some explosive growth this week! I'm super excited to see 2 of them take off. The third is quite a fighter! I won't give up on her if she won't quit! I'm already having to rethink how I will dry the first 2 plants as the third one will be at least a week, if not 2, behind... I think! I'd love to hear from those who have had an autoflower go through a hard first 3 weeks of sprouting!
If you watch the time lapse videos it will help to zoom in a little more and you can see them dance pretty nicely!
Here's to health and growth!! Cheers!!

Aug 17: she is looking happy at the start of the fifth week since I started force flowering. Buds are forming and everything is on track.
Very nice plant.
Aug 18: nice enough day after a small bit of rain early. Tops are progressing nicely.
Aug 20: hot and sunny so extra water again despite some rain last night.
Aug 23: added another Scrog layer. This seems like a really good way to stabilize the plant while holding things in place for maximum sunlight exposure.

Hey there, fellow plant enthusiasts! It’s time for another exciting update on our magnificent P.C.R.s as they journey through their second week of flowering. Buckle up, because things are getting wild in the grow room!
Our P.C.R.s are on a growth spurt like no other! They're reaching for the stars and filling up the entire room with their lush foliage and budding flowers. It's like a jungle in here, and I’m loving every minute of it! The energy in the room is electric, and you can practically feel the excitement buzzing in the air.
With all this growth, our grow room is bursting at the seams! These plants are not messing around—they’re taking up every inch of space and demanding attention. It's like they're saying, "Look at us, we're the stars of the show!" And let me tell you, they're stealing the spotlight with their beauty and vigor.
As we approach day 21, the anticipation for defoliation is real. But our P.C.R.s have other plans—they're playing hard to get! Despite their reluctance, I’m keeping a close eye on them and patiently waiting for the perfect moment to give them a little trim. After all, a little pruning goes a long way in ensuring optimal light penetration and airflow, leading to healthier and happier plants.
Defoliation is like a mini makeover for our plants—it removes excess foliage, allowing more light to reach the lower buds and promoting better airflow throughout the canopy. This not only improves bud development but also reduces the risk of mold and pests. It's like giving our P.C.R.s a spa day—they come out looking refreshed and rejuvenated!
Week 2 of flowering has been nothing short of exhilarating! Our P.C.R.s are growing like champs, filling the room with their vibrant energy and undeniable charm. While we wait for the perfect defoliation moment, we'll continue to shower them with love and attention, nurturing them every step of the way.

Octava semana de vegetación y esto luce así, hermosas y vigorosas las 2 Kukulkán, porfin pude solucionar la carencia que tenían, estoy regando con niveles de EC muy altos sobre los 2.0 pero si ellas lo asimilan bien entonces le damos no más, estoy regando con 5 ml de fertilizante radicular y 4 ml de algae plus y 3 ml de calmag.
Hoy preparé el suelo donde irán los clones con las micorrizas de elite 91 myco Jordan y tire unas semillas de happy clover, la mayoría de los clones ya están enraizados solo esperaré a que colonicen un poco más el vaso en donde están, estoy muy satisfecho con los resultados hasta ahora, ya que es primera vez que hago esquejes, veremos más adelante cómo evolucionan.
Aún no se cuantas semanas de vegetación les daré a las Kukulkán, todo depende de cómo crezcan y cuanto se demoren en el crecimiento.
EC: 2,3
PH: 6,4
Temperatura agua de riego: 21 grados
Temperatura indoor: 25 grados
Humedad relativa : 50%-85%

_____ Week 14 | Day 99 - 105 | 7th week of flower ______
Day 93 🌞💧
- 3 liter each Plant, small drain.
Day 94 🌞
- Since I'm a bit afraid of mold, I run the fans at a higher speed, which causes the leaves to rub against each other and causes physical damage to the leaves. A few tips are burnt but nothing to worry about.

Temp. avg. - 22,6°

Grow diary 11 stage 8
Day 71 to 80
She just doing her thing. Because of the o.g the light is a bit to far away but this will be the next plant into the finishing tent and will get plenty more light for final days.
The two plants growing gorilla have been decimated by slugs. Next time I'm clearing more of an area around the plants and using slug pellets and tape. Never had a slug problem like this before.

Hi Growmies,
Here we are at week 11, and our botanical star continues to astound with her growth. The stretching phase has persisted throughout the week, each day adding a bit more to her stature. It's as if she's reaching for her personal best, and I'm here to cheer her on every step of the way. As the buds begin their own stretch along the colas, it's time to introduce Green Sensations into her diet. This should give her the extra boost she needs for this critical phase of development. Her thirst is growing, a sign of her expanding needs and vigorous metabolism. It's a balancing act to match her hydration requirements, but one that's deeply rewarding. I can't emphasize enough how smooth and stress-free this experience has been. There's a certain peace that comes with tending to a plant that asks so little yet gives so much. If the yield is anywhere near my usual harvests, I might seriously consider making a permanent switch to soil and the Plagron lineup. It's exciting to ponder the potential of a new cultivation method. This journey has been one of simplicity and satisfaction. The connection between grower and plant, the quiet anticipation of each new stage of growth – these are the moments that make it all worthwhile.
As always, a reminder for my fellow plant lovers: use the code ZAMMIGD2023 at Zamnesia's online store to get a 20% discount. Sharing is caring, especially in our tight-knit community.
Stay tuned for the next update. We're on this journey together, and I'm grateful for every step.

Día 28 de cultivo y día de trasplante a maceta de tela de 7l.
He preparado un sustrato muy ligero a base de turbas, bocashi de pasto, tierra negra reutilizada y humus de lombriz con mucha perlita, vermiculita y zeolita, también arena de rio para mejorar el drenaje y finalmente 12g de arcilla caolín e Illita para mejorar el intercambio catiónico. Con respecto a los minerales en este cultivo los voy a añadir paulatinamente como aporte en superficie, los Microorganismos se encargarán de disolverlos y de esta manera añadiré el mineral según la etapa de cultivo.
La plántula ha llegado con un buen cepellón de raíces, antes del trasplante he añadido auxinas en polvo en superficie, después he regado profusamente con agua de lluvia, miel y Microorganismos De Montaña Activados MMA, de esta manera con el sustrato húmedo el cepellón sale sin desmoronarse, además, la humedad pasará al sustrato circundante al cepellón por capilaridad, finalmente he regado por los bordes de la maceta con 500ml de solución.
Como la plántula llegó con un tallo bastante alto, he enterrado parte de él, y para estimular el crecimiento de raíces adventicias he humedecido el tallo y espolvoreado mis auxinas caseras de frijol negro.
A partir de ahora esperaré al menos 2 semanas para pasar la planta a floración, tengo curiosidad por ver la evolución de esta semilla polizón que encontré junto a otras tres en los cogollos de mi anterior cosecha. Cruzo los dedos para que no salga macho.!! 😎
Hasta la próxima semana!! Saludos a todos!! 😉
