Good morning, we're finally here. We've changed locations, still in southern Spain, but this time much closer to the sea and with a Mediterranean climate, like my Italian roots. Love it. We'll start with the autoflowering plants first; this time, they'll all be grown without cutting techniques. We'll always have two plants: one grown with just a little tidying and left to grow straight, and the other using techniques that don't involve cutting, and therefore slowing things down. I need weed; the grower must also consider this, so the autoflowering plants will finish as quickly as possible. In most cases, it will be a nice, firm LST, not too delicate, and I'll fim if the plant seems to touch the sky, as has happened recently, probably thanks to the Plagron fertilizers, which will be with us this time too. The chosen soil is the recently released Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us a more regular and reliable start without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. We're 100% organic this time too. For the germination, we also used Seedbooster as soon as it arrived with the last and first ones: 75% water + 25% hydrogen peroxide. *** From my point of view, it's very important to add hydrogen peroxide if you start with the seed in a small glass of water. As soon as it's opened, it would drown too; the oxygen bubbles in the hydrogen peroxide prevent suffocation. www.plagron.com That said, our Critical Cheese Automatic is a classic strain. We expect stability and potency, and to be honest, we're looking for that cheesey smell that has been lost in hybridizations over time. We're still hoping for it. Come on, my friend, you've grown beautifully under the watchful eye of our mirrorless camera. Keep giving us thrills until the very end. The seedling started well without any particular problems. Its little sister stretched a little because I took a timelapse under different lighting, but we're there and ready to give it our best. https://www.zamnesia.io/en/3334-zamnesia-seeds-critical-cheese-automatic-feminized.html Zamnesia Description - An iconic strain from the UK, Cheese has quickly become one of the most sought-after strains in the world. Thanks to the breeders at Zamnesia Seeds, we now have an easy-to-grow autoflowering variant with identical qualities to the extraordinary original, the only major difference being that it can be harvested in 10 weeks! www.zamnesia.com

NORTHERN LIGHT AUTO (ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS) Descripción: Poco después de conquistar la escena del cannabis en Holanda, la Northern Lights se convirtió en el estándar del cultivo en interior. Su influencia se extendió por todo el mundo y acabaría convirtiéndose en uno de los pilares del desarrollo de cepas de cannabis modernas. Durante los últimos años, las técnicas de cultivo y reproducción han generado versiones de Northern Lights que mantienen las características de esta leyenda mientras añaden algo interesante a la fórmula. La Northern Light Automatic de Royal Queen Seeds es la combinación perfecta entre lo nuevo y lo viejo. Al tratarse de una cepa autofloreciente y feminizada, la Northern Light Automatic es una planta versátil, perfecta para cultivadores discretos de interior pero también para cultivadores de exterior a gran escala. Tras una breve fase vegetativa, la planta empieza a crecer y a producir gran cantidad de flores, terminando su ciclo de vida en solo 9 o 10 semanas desde que se planta la semilla. Día 0: He germinado la semilla en un papel humedecido a 30°C con un pH6 Día 1: La semilla abrió perfectamente y la trasplanté rapidamente a su maceta final de 15L geotextil de Royal Queen Seeds y he puesto en el agua de riego Deeper Underground 1ml/l y Atami NRG Roots-C 2ml/l. Día 2: La pequeña ha cogido 3cm y va creciendo rapidamente. Parece que los nutrientes hacen sus efectos perfectamente Día 3: después de alcanzar los 3cm hoy hemos regado con el enrraizador para su sistema radicular aportando 1ml/l Deeper Underground y 2ml/l de Atami NRG Roots-C

July 27: this is a great plant that is doing fine. It was started later than my other three plants, and won’t get as big, but it is growing fast. This was one of my faves from last year so looking forward to having this one again. All the Ganja Farmer strains that I’ve tried have been very good. July 29: pretty cool last night so I warmed the water up to 26 C before watering at 7 am to help them get off to a warmer start for the day. July 30: still a bit crowded so I supercropped it again to get the top growth tips to the same elevation. This one was manifolded to 8 colas and by supercropping like this I’m trying to see if I can get something like 16 final colas after only topping for 8 colas. Whatever, messing around. Aug 1: still supercropping main tips trying to see if I can get enough sunlight in to some of these lower growth tips. Might work, might not. Doing today’s diary entry I realized that I should be scrogging this one…so SCROG net applied.

Good. Simple.

7th week

She is looking very nice. Now second week in flowering stage and the buds are getting out on all bratches

Una cepa de fácil crecimiento y resistente al ataque de bichos, humedad alta y climas cambiantes, aunque la cosecha no fue muy abundante debido a su estructura compacta, sería bueno aplicar alguna técnica de crecimiento para obtener más cosecha, una fácil y rica planta medicinal

The girls have chilled right out growing up and are growing out an phat , I’m seeing some purple there . Big defoliation coming up as soon as I can move that auto out which is looking chunky as but a bit on the small side prolly due to the 12/12 , still odds on to have some fresh Chrissy smoko .

Time to defoliate soon , but the buds are coming in nicely.

Very terpy smell, strong and very citric like a pure lemon, very lemony smell basically, nothing crazy but it's very nice, she's producing a lot of resin, you can see she's a good autoflower, not the bets I've grown but it's nice to have something to Harvey's fast. 100% organic grown

❤️🌱 We decided to document the flowering cycle of this monster for posterity.. she's been in veg for about 16 weeks, it shouldn't have taken this long but we dropped the table on her late in development so she needed a few weeks to repair..today is her very first day of flower... we're currently using x2 top end CMH 3100ks but placed an order last week for the FC-E6500 by MarsHydro to replace both 🤘🐱..that light and this plant should turn into something magical.. my hubby gets most the credit for this beast but we're a team so I'll share lmao 😸.. the scrog table is 3.5x3.5, homemade with 1/2 PVC, screws and twine..it's a tight squeeze in the 4x4 but looks great to me... thanks for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱
