Early week 6 update (i'll add more pictures and comments as needed): Unfortunately I hit some challenges! Light got way too close and stunted growth for a day. I noticed it on tips closest to the light only. Raised lamp to 22 inches. Indica bagseed (plant in the center front) got too stacked: stuff like leaves on top of each other with lots of moisture, no light/airflow penetration, etc. I did some basic LST, leaf tucking, net tucking, to open her up and go sideways more a bit at first. It helped a bit. Unfortunately aug 27, had to get more aggressive on this beast and remove 3 shade leaves on the right side. not happy about defoliating, but had to do it. Will see how she takes it and then look at left side on a later day. Growing the first time is educational and actually therapeutic in today's world for me. I've already learned so many lessons for the net time: don't need such a yuge pot, lamp brightness/distance, air circulation!!! Thank you to everyone that responds with positive encouragement/messaging, it really helps. Adding two more fans to help air circulation aug 28. hopefully it reduces the need to desecrate the plants! Meanwhile the plants in back (purple canyon) want to stretch their faces off, esp. the one in back left, so it is a balance. I only have so much vertical height :) aug 29, flipped to 12/12. plants are happy and i want to control the space for first grow. let's see how it goes. updated the humidity for the week to ~ 60. Ida etc has made it miserable, it should get better soon.

🌿 **Moby Dick Auto Grow Week 9 Update: Harvest Time Approaches!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exhilarating update on the progress of our Moby Dick Auto adventure as we hit Week 9 of the grow cycle. With excitement mounting and buds maturing, let's delve into the latest developments: 🌟 **Abundant Bud Growth**: At Week 9, our Moby Dick Auto marvels are truly showcasing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production reaching its peak. The once-tiny flowers have evolved into dense, resinous clusters, promising a generous harvest in the near future. Trichomes are abundant, signaling optimal cannabinoid potency and aromatic richness. 📏 **Final Phase of Flowering**: As we enter the final phase of the flowering period, our focus is on maximizing bud development while ensuring ideal ripening conditions. By meticulously managing environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we're creating the perfect environment for our plants to flourish and achieve their utmost potential. 🍃 **Leaf Aging and Nutrient Management**: As anticipated in the late flowering stage, some leaves may exhibit signs of aging as the plant redirects its energy towards bud formation. This natural progression indicates that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient regimen remains carefully calibrated, providing essential elements to support vigorous flowering without risking imbalances or deficiencies. 🔍 **Monitoring Trichome Ripeness**: With harvest drawing near, we're closely monitoring trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using magnification tools like jeweler's loupes or digital microscopes, we're scrutinizing trichomes for signs of ripeness, aiming for a blend of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of cannabinoids, as well as flavor and aroma complexity. 🌞 **Preparation for Harvest**: As we gear up for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering essential tools such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a hygienic and organized workspace to preserve the integrity of our precious buds. We'll employ proper post-harvest techniques and curing methods to safeguard terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In summary, Week 9 signifies a pivotal juncture in our Moby Dick Auto grow expedition, where patience and precision converge in anticipation of the impending harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the forthcoming update as we rejoice in the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation, yielding a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready for enjoyment and sharing. Happy growing! 🌿✨

I took a ton of pictures this week. This plant is beautiful! The amount of crystals that she has produced in the last week is crazy. Overall the plant does't seem to be stretching much at all, and I hope that it doesn't seem too be too small.Considering this is a 10 week flower, I'm hoping that it should be a bit smaller than other plants that i'm seeing on here. The smell has really increased this week. Just entering the room now you know that someone is growing in there. I do have a carbon filter going, but the smell seems to be coming more from the walls of the tent. Since this is my first grow, everything here is pretty cheap. Eventually I’ll upgrade to higher quality items. I’m worrying that I’m watering wrong. Each week I water twice. Once with nutrients and once later in the week with just water. 4 liters of water each time. And giving all of the nutrients in that one feeding of 4l of water. Any feedback on if this is ok or if this is causing any harm to the plant would be appreciated. I also seemed to solve the really high humidity issue this week. When watering in the past I wasn’t pouring it into the soil properly, and it was draining off to the side of the container, it would all run off and pool behind the plant and I wouldn’t realize. This week I took more time when watering and all water seems to have gone into the soil. Following the watering the humidity only seemed to get up to 63%. Previously it was around 74% for about 3 days. I think this is a win. Goal harvest date is January 14th. Can’t wait!

The third week of vegetation of my Auto Melonade Runtz 🍉🥤🍉 Nutrients: I use Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland nutrients - three basic components, still according to the table for vegetative growth 💓 - - Dutch Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾 - Dutch Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase 🌸🌿 - Dutch Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Power Roots - Root stimulator Plagron Roots is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. I use it until the fifth week of growth 🍃🍃 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to provide their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately. The 100% organic 💩💩 and certified BioBizz Calmag product is made from calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Bio pH- is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 General: Auto Melonade Runtz 🍉🥤🍉 - This week I trained the girl for the first time and she responded very well to the training 😊 She is full of strong healthy green leaves again 🍃🍃 In two days I will do a mild defoliation again, which I will now do regularly 🌿💚 Training: I regularly do LST and mild defoliation for the girls during this period. Then, using string, I tie the branches to the edges of the pot so that the light shines on all the branches and the main stem💚🌞🌞 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes :) See you soon 😍😍

Day 72: 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off the same with ventilation. Ferilization is the same except BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 they are being flushed. Water intake also remains the same 200ml per day. Humidity approx 35 percent. Day 74: BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 have to be harvested this week Friday so no more water. Colorado Cookies and Northern Light next week so started flushing them. Glueberry OG needs a bit more time.

It was an honor! Hat Von Anfang bis Ende Spaß gemacht die Dame. Mal Probleme gehabt mit Fäule, nach Kontakt mit Regen! Im Wintergarten untergebracht, musste die Fäule weichen. Ne ohne Spaß, hat einfach aufgehört zu faulen und mega produziert! Denke aber ohne greenhouse eher ein Fall für den Kompost geworden;)☮️

Plants looking healthy and they are starting to form strong buds by the looks of it . Some of them have startet to have brown leaves, but the bud looks healthy. Ive put the lights from 600w to 400w since they are suffering from high light and temp. Now the temp should be 24°to 26°.

Here we go, this is the ninth week of growing. The plants look, and smell incredible right now, I've started flushing last week, and will continue this week , and I hope to make the harvest next Saturday. By the time I've been removing a lot of leaves, because they started to turn yellow, as the cycle of the plants is getting to its end. I am really satisfied with the overall quality of this plant, every aspect of it is amazing! My retarded daughter is getting herself together, but she still has almost 3-4 weeks until she's ready.
