the photos are all of NL#1 because that plant has all of the attention. it got transplanted, i know "dont transplant an auto".. kill me for it. anyway.. that was a HORRIBLE!!!! Experience and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND not doing this if you have no clue what you are doing. I almost lost a Plant... why was i transplanting in the first place? well first of all as a new grower what did i do? I over Fed the plants 😆.. and they were not happy. i tried flushing but that made it worse so i needed to add new soil to hopefully dilute some of the nutes. The transplant from a 5 gallon bucket was not and will never be a task for one person to do alone. some roots got ripped she got banged around a but then the entire plant went droopy and it was like hell trying to get it to stand again. NL#2 is doing okay just a flush and it is doing fine i hope.

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

Week 10 Hi everyone, Everything going brilliantly. Girls are gaining weight, trichomes development it's amazing. As for now some buds up to 10-20% amber and some are still almost 100% clear and milky. Leaves are still pretty green and I may keep nutrients for this week but all will depend of trichomes palette before switching just to water. Please stay tuned for daily updates Have a great week everyone Peace and love ✌️💚 25/09 Day 64 Watering approximately 2.5l per pot. runoff 50-100ml. This lasting on avarage for 2-2,5 day. 27/09 Day 66 All going smooth. Girls are covered with frost. Noticing some more amber trichomes. Will keep watering them with nutrients tonight and will keep observing closely their development before cutting off nutes completely. 30/09 Day 69 We are approaching final days of this amazing journey😁After closer look decided to flush this morning. Only water and Fish Shit on ratio 0.4ml per 1 ltr. Flushed with approx 3 ltr per pot. Runoff 50-100ml. Runoff ph 6.4. 01/10 day 70 It's the end of week10 Currently trichomes at some buds up to 20-30% amber 😍 and on the rest milky with small groups of amber 5% As its a soli grow we have a good few days for development. Not sure about harvest day yet but I would say 6-14 days at most. Thank you so much for all support, likes and comments 😊✌️💚 Stay tuned as best still to come 😁 Peace and love brothers and sisters

Another strong week. Away for a few days and he heat was back upto 28-30 so was a bit concerned but they came through fine with a heavy dowsing. Still stretching and lots of preflowers. Very happy that my first grow is still going and this decent!

Der Gorilla hat sich auch das Herbstkleid übergeworfen. Er darf aber noch ein bisschen bleiben. Prachtvolle Pflanze. Riecht himmlisch. Super schöne Struktur.

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!

Bueno, en el inicio de la fase de floración, hemos cambiado la solución nutritiva con ml x ltr , metí la red scrog y he notado que esta cepa se estresa con facilidad, tras el cambio de agua y nutrientes y la red quedaron full stress, poverine... Empiezan el fotoperiodo con mucho olor a vegetal y esto me hace temer que tendrán mucho olor los futuros cogollos... esperemos tener suerte también en este cultivo. Estoy muy contento, no pensé que gracias a ZOE SPACECAKE me iba a apasionar tanto cultivar el cannabis.

Week went again very uneventful, she is not very hungry anymore and had to constantly refill the reservoir with water to keep the ec in check. Trichomes are all cloudy and start to turn amber. She has developed that amazing purple hue and is sticky to the max, so definitely showing her glue heritable ;) I will continue to feed her until Wednesday this week and then start the flushing and darkness. Harvest will be next week end.

11/2: The Starcandy x Gelato and the Starcandy x Strawberry Cheesecake both show signs of N deficiency, so I'm gonna feed tomorrow. 11/3: I fed today and started foliar feeding with kelp and fish emulsion every time I check on them. 11/4: They're looking a little better today, but still not 100%... Skunk is kinda mutated..a little wonky looking and slow, but maybe she's just a slow starter.. Strawberry Pie is catching up despite being a few days behind. 11/7: no time to comment

Day 21 flowering: Hi all , hopebm we are all in the green and feeling serene ?. This week has been a good week for both of these ladies. Mimosa Lemon is a genetic monster !!!. I stripped quite a lot of lower scrappy looking growth and so much leaf matter with it, I expected a smaller lady to emerge.... Instead shebhas responded so amazingly well. Her cola lengths coupled with the fast filling node gaps, show how big she intends to finish. She has so much growth to her frame that she fills the space for 2 plants already and the stretch has only just stopped. !!. A real monster in the making I think. It has been a breeze to work with so far and tookntonall the punishing training I have thrown her way. Glueberry has done so well to survive my serious oversight of not watering her enough. Even now she drinks so much that her pot dries again the next day. Wirhbsigns of being held back in size , she has tried to make up in bud number. I did a major strip out of all the inner growth and small budlets forming so she can focus her energy on rebuilding her many limbs to full vigour. Both plants doing good at this stage with no deficiencies showing so far lets see how much they fill out next update. be well Growmies.

Chop time for the dry ice has came this girl got so fat even with the scrogg she fell over. When i cut her down and flipped her from the dirt was so heavy though wrist was gana break. Just like all my others i dont do wet weigh in. I dont do a wet trim so i can have that slowwwwww dry time. When flowers are dry and teimmed will do a weigh in. My dry prosses is slow trim fan leaves let hang in 60°f and 60% rh for 12 - 14 days then do a trim for smoke. This girl is amazing has a steong caryophyllene smell that overpowers everything! Very curious how that turns out. Buds are

8/3 Went over to treat the 10th planet that needed water with plant doctor around 10:30. I was in the garden at 6 but didn't have much time. That plant seems to be curled up or "droopy". It DID need water. I defoliated a few sep leaves off it but I didn't see any today. I guess I don't ever really see the leaves "up" or praying like I do with the rest of tge plants. It's starting to flower like the rest though. Today is the day everything is supposed to get its second or third plant doctor dose but I decided to wait until they need the water. I don't think 24hrs will mean much. I've been staying on top of defoliation but I'm seeing some pillar damage. I'd like to spray bt but what my buddy said about spraying with septoria is still in my head. Maybe I can use citric acid. That way it won't "wash away" spores it will just eat them. At least I think. And I hope lol. Birds get most of the pillars but I hand pick some too. I need to pick up nutes. Wondering if I should just get grow big again. I don't use much but plants are switching to flower and leaves are fading. I have big bloom and kool bloom bit neither have nitrogen. I still need some sort of nitrogen. Especially since that could be a deficiency. Not sure if it's the transition or a condition with the sep. I see some interior small leaves bleeding out and some dying. I'm wondering if what I thought was earwig damage years prior was really a combo of sep and they just ate the evidence. I'm super grateful though. I've got some resilient girls and they're doing well. The special kush in flower is gorgeous as well. Looks like I'll have an early plant. Short flowering time on this strain. Smells pungent. 8/4 Treated everything in the garden with plant doctor except the 10th planet I got yesterday. I need to take a closer look at that plant. It rarely looks "happy" like my others. I'll check it again later. 3tsp per gallon and 1gal a plant. The 10s got a half gallon. This seems to be working great. I have some defoliation to do on the tenth planet I was talking about earlier. Everything is in some form of flower. The flowers on that early special kush are getting bigger. I'll update this later. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT NOON TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT OTHER 10TH PLANET TO SEE IF IT PICKED UP AT ALL. IT DID. IM GLAD I CAME OVER TO CHECK THOUGH. MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. THE OTHER 10TH PLANET LOOKS HORRIBLE O. FILM FROM ONE ANGLE LOL BUT ITS REALLY A GREAT LOOKING PLANT AND IM USUALLY FILMING AT LIKE 6AM. JIST WANTED TO STICK UP FORCMY GIRL AND HER BAD HAIR DAY. ITS BEEN HIT AND A FEW OF HER LEAVES ARE TACOED. SHE GOT HER FIRST "PREVENTATIVE" DOSE OF PLANT DOCTOR WHICH WAS HALF A TSP/GALLON. IT REALLY SEEMS TO BE DOING SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER. EVERYTHING IS. IM HAVING TO LOOK HARDER AND AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING LEAVES EFFECTED BY SEPTORIA. KNOCK ON WOOD. IM EXCITED. THIS IS GOING BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. IM STILL GOING TO BE MONITERING LIKE I USUALLY DO. 8/5 Watered the 10th planet I dodnt get yesterday. Looked and didn't see any sep leaves. Phone was dead so I vouldnt do a video. Went back over at like 130pm and did a quick video and checked out the girls. Everything is looking good and transitioning well. I WANT to use a diy Dr. Zymes with citric acid as I've noticed a few pillars. Only reason I've hesitated is because my buddy said not to spray it. But if what I spray it with "eats" it I would think it's ok. But what do I know. Birds get a great deal of them. I watch them on the camera sit on the cage and wait for one to stick it's head up before snatching it up. Still need to get either more grow big or a bloom product with nitrogen. I was able to defoliate that other 10th planet of anything suspect. It's hard work but it's worth it in the end. 8/6 It's like 81 at 4pm. I didn't have time to video this morning but i went back over. WATERED EVERYTHING THIS BUT THE 50 AND THE 10TH PLANET I GOT YESTERDAY. Temps are supposed to pick up soon and it will be in the 90's again. We've had like NO rain. I searched for leaves that had signs of sep to defoliate. I may find one or two but for the most part things are doing great. Overall I'm happy.
