Bottomed the plants on day 22 Over three weeks into flower and they’re still stretching but starting to slow down nice pistils forming I like the way she is stacking up

Nutrients completed on majority of the plants some smaller plants will remain being fed until Wednesday before flushing I rearranged the tents ready for drying purposes with 4 plants that were flushing in the dry room. I came gone to find one had collapsed. This is the heaviest plant (I am interested to see what it yields) Because it snapped at the stork I hung it up to dry and will be dry Tuesday 29th this week The rest will be ready after a successful flush. Earlier in my diary I did a test for which coco was the best. I can assure you that coco eco-thrive produced the tallest and most stacked plants Plain coco was the next which produced a medium yield plant of medium height. Last was coco with pebbles. I wanted this to win but believe me it has the worst growth and the least yields for this particular grow. So I would advise buying the eco thrive coco. It is such a good product if you can get your hands on it. It’s a very strong smelling this grow please note this when you start. But to be honest value for money I will definately grow this again. (Under $2.00 per seed This will probably be the last post before the chop. Stay tuned 05-07-20 30-09-20

Day 13 : we are starting to see the pompoms appear 🏵️🏵️🏵️

Thanks for stopping by growfessors, week 4 begins. Not much to report other than I'm happy with the bud development.

Decided to start dark period(24-48hrs) day 85 mostly milky not much amber maybe some amber on the sugar leaves. I wanted to go 90+days with this auto but I needed the space in the tent for my photos and she looks almost ready, would’ve liked to see a little more amber but nevertheless I haven’t grown much at all so don’t have too much preference yet on trichomes. I’ll chop in a day or two and dry in my smaller tent and hopefully it goes well, my first harvest I dried too fast in low humidity and wasn’t that pleased with the end result. This time I’m planning on lowering exhaust speed and to not be so scared of 50+humidity in drying area and raise it to around 60humidity after a few days. Can’t think of anything else to write, but I’ll update after the chop and dry and 🙏 hopefully all goes well.

18.5.25: I watered with 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 780 I added the PK booster this feeding, just to provide some phosphorus without risking an excess. Next time, I won't use it. 19.5.25. Northern lights had got quite bushy, and there were a lot of extra leaves covering up some prime budsites. So I went ahead and Defoliated some of the larger fan leaves that were covering and blocking out other buds. The plants are growing very fast. The buds are getting very nicely structured. Northern Lights is drinking about 3 l per day, and I will continue to use the Greenleaf nutrients sea kelp and Ecothrive Biosys, along with the Ecothrive trace For the calcium, magnesium and trace elements. She has indeed stopped stretching now and is focusing on the bud formations. It's a very lovely smell, too! 😋 I use these all the way through. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. 21.5.25: I defoliated today again. This time, I took a little more off than I did yesterday as things had become congested, and the buds in the centre weren't getting any light. I got covered in sticky...ness?! I forgot to wear gloves, but for some reason, my non dominant hand got covered in resin and the other, not at all. Anyway, I hope I've managed to include the before defoliation and after videos/photos. I think it's much better after, there's so many buds I couldn't even see in the centre! I probably should have done it sooner, but I was trying hard to take as little as possible this run. Anyway, this is the prime bud building period. So, taking the leaves covering all the centre colas will not only provide equal light penetration but also get rid of some of the nutrients stored in the leaves. So, any nutrients available in the remaining leaves can deplete to a happy medium. That being said, we're coming close to the end of mid flowering. I'm really hoping to produce some good sized colas! 🤞💚😉🍃😃🌱 I'm certain I won't be disappointed, she's looking 🔥😍😀😋 24.5.25: I watered with Ecothrive Biosys 3ltrs each. The plants are still drinking at least 2 litres per day. They are increasingly thirsty, and it's important that I don't let them dry out. The soil is mostly coco and perlite, so it can dry out quicker. There are plenty of worm castings, too, so that definitely helps. The buds are developing and progressing very nicely, keeping up with the flowering nutrients and alternating between Ecothrive Biosys, Trace, and Greenleaf Nutrients. 24.5.25: I watered with 2.5 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.3 PPM: 840 SOLUTION TEMP: 30°C SOIL PH: 7 SOIL TEMP: 21°C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: 23-26°C RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 58%. Thanks for stopping by 😊🌱🤞💚✌️🍃

Strong seedling

Nur noch Wasser Letzten Tage

So the 3rd week started. I did realize that the plants started growing faster and on Sunday I did transform them to a bigger hydroponic pot. They were entering the vegetative stage. I know I should have not done it to the autoflowering so I should have planted it to the finisher pot but I did not know because it is my first time so I kept reading and receiving information. I stopped spraying the plants because I saw one yellow dot and I checked it can be toxicity or fungee so better not to play but still use it for the soil. I constantly raised up the quantity of the water so started adding 140 ml a day for two plants, 70ml 2 times morning, evening. So one plant receives 35 ml in the morning and the same amount in the evening, approximately 12 hours difference. I use two lamps 60W each with a dual head so (30W 2 times each plant.) The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe started smelling not strong but the smell was weak, only if you go closer or in the grow tent. I started also adding bat guano-acacia honey and water mix. (1-liter water 1 tablespoon bat guano, plus very good quality acacia honey mix 1 tablespoon). The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe also started growing faster, at the beginning it was growing slower but now, it has changed. I also set the light schedule 20 hours on and 4 hours off with two-timer. Ventilation started I use a small USB fan which is able to go 17 hours with a 5000mpah power bank so I bought 2 when one is off the second is used and the other is charged. Pretty much it works almost 24/0. I do fertilize on Monday, Wednesday, Friday with that bat guano mix giving the same amount of water like if it was normal. 140 ml a day (70ml morning, 70ml evening). Other days the same quantity of clean water. I never used tap water I buy still water from the shop.

Monster zkittles, week 5/since germination, plant is doing fine, keeping nutrients at a bit low level till this week, will slowly be adding more to the menu. Added a teaspoon of plagron's bat guano as additive as top dressing... Watch out when using their bat guano, its very concentrated and strong, 2/teaspoons on 3 gallons and you wont be able to feed higher than 1.7ec

🌸 Week 4 Flower – Gelonade Run (Week 8 from Seed) The garden this week feels like a song in mid-chorus, not at the beginning, not at the climax, but at that perfect moment where everything flows together, alive and in rhythm. The Gelonade girls continue to thrive as they enter their fourth week of flower. Both phenos are strong, healthy, and stacking nicely, but once again, the spotlight belongs to Pheno #2, our unicorn with her unforgettable leaves. 🍃 The Freak Leaves – Nature’s Masterpiece Every week she amazes me. The leaves are massive, sculpted, and utterly unique, opening like fingers folding out of a hand, splitting and stretching in ways I’ve never seen before. They don’t just capture light; they capture attention. They’re freakish only in the sense of being extraordinary. This week I did a light defoliation, removing just a few fan leaves here and there to let air and light move through the canopy. Nothing heavy, just enough to open the girls up so they can breathe freely. The freak leaves still dominate the show, and I couldn’t be happier. 💧 Nutrition – Aptus x Plagron Fusion The nutrient strategy stays consistent, built on the solid foundation of super soil and pellets while enhancing with a balanced booster program: • Aptus Regulator – for structure and stress resistance • Aptus CalMag Boost – for strong frames and chlorophyll balance • Plagron Trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) – each at 1 ml/L This blend is improvisation, yes, but with intention. Aptus provides the backbone, while Plagron brings a bloom-focused push. EC remains low (around 0.6) and pH steady at 6.1. The girls are feeding happily without signs of deficiency or excess. Environment & Conditions Temperatures are still a little warm at times, but airflow and extraction keep things under control. Humidity floats between 50–60%, and the TrolMaster system continues to guide watering, keeping soil moisture around that 19–20% mark before irrigation. The ecosystem, from lights to sensors to airflow, is tuned and humming, letting the girls focus on flowering. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to Now • Week 1–2: Germination and fragile seedling stage, roots digging in. • Week 3–4 Veg: Vigorous branching, structure building, unicorn leaves making their first appearance. • Week 5–6: Transition to flower, pistils forming, stretch in full swing. • Week 7–8 (now): Bud sites stacking, white hairs everywhere, plants at ~88 cm, morphing beautifully into early bloom. It’s been a journey of balance — super soil below, light above, and the grower’s touch in between. 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week, I expect to see the beginnings of bud swelling as calyxes start to stack and flowers take shape. Pistils will multiply, resin glands will begin to sparkle, and the true magic of flower development will begin. What not to expect just yet: density. These next couple of weeks are about building the frame of the buds; the bulk will come later. ⸻ Plant Stats – Week 4 Flower / Week 8 from Seed • Height: ~80 cm • Temperature: 28–32°C • Humidity: 50–60% • VPD: ~1.8–2.0 kPa • EC: 0.6 • pH: 6.1 • Nutrients: Regulator, CalMag Boost, Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation ⸻ May the light kiss their leaves, may the roots hold steady, and may each new flower remind us that beauty is often found in the unexpected ⸻ ✨ The Gelonades are glowing.

💡🌞MARSHYDRO LED👍

Pretty smooth week. Realizing I should've done a bit more defoliation around trellis level where I've got a lot of little budsites competing for space. Dosidos 1 (purple-er pheno) - beautiful plant with lots of frosty little buds. Nice colors in the pistils this week. CBS - still looks sickly. Gave her a shot of the Neptune's Harvest this week but she looks about the same. Despite her yellowing and mottled spots on the leaves her buds keep filling in. BttF2 - Looking pretty good. She's closer to the light than the other 3 but doesn't seem to have any issues with the extra rays. Dosidos 2 (frostier pheno) - Also looking healthy and dripping with trichomes. Accidentally got a little resin on my hand and it smelled like Sweet Tarts.

Blueberry Lime Kush AD Fuck, it's a boy...

Start of week 6! Week 5 went well, the girls are all very sticky and smell incredible! The super lemon haze continues to need extra feeding, she's a hungry lady! Both blueberry plants are packing on a lot of weight as the branches are bending and twisting, I tried them up to give them extra support.

This was a very stressful week as there were too many variables at play all at once; even my camera refused to cooperate for the first few days. The freshly transferred plants were starting to droop and I was unsure if it was transplant shock, nutrient burn, or because of the incomplete grow tent. My first batch of nutrients were mixed into a gallon bottle and was weighed by a friend using his scale; this set was enough to last weeks. For this new batch however, I didn't have my scale and used the table spoon as my measuring tool; needless to say when my TDS meter finally arrived, both runoff and the remainder of the mixed nutrients read 2800. Fortunately my light setup seemed to be inefficient still and the plants weren't drawing much nutrients and only ended up with a very light burn on the older growth. All pots were flushed back to recommend levels and the light lowered until the lux values read appropriate. This week ends my daily comments and I'll stick to this end of the week format going forward.

I'm starting to see some good growth.i did some defoliation so I'm going to back off cutting anymore leaves and will start leave tucking.well she still might get a little hair cut if she gets to bushy.
