Feb 9th - first day of week 10 flower for Black Willie (4 more to go… ) - Plant fed last-nite; 5.75L -overall Humidity targets raised to 55-60% last week, and I SMELL DANKNESS THIS MORNING, definitely a heavier odour has settled-in Feb 11th, - wrong info from the Breeder had me working towards a 14 week flower for the High THC version of Black Willie. Turns out its the CBD version that takes so long. Only when I saw the Amber trichomes did I realize the opposite was true. Easily there are still clear trichomes, but there is also plenty of AMBER... Looks like as soon as my water is ready, I'm flushing Black Willie. Feb 12 - Willie was Flushed last night. Same conditions; 15gallons flushed through 7 gal flex-pot Feb 13th - Light cycle reduced to 11 hours, and the Tent Temp has been reduced by 0.5C. Feb 15th - last day of week 10 - still have control running a higher humidity. Plants seem to love it. Good airflow = Ohmm - 2L sip of water/Molasses tonight

En esta semana ya la poda apical quedo aplicada en ambas feminizadas y nuestra automática ya esta comenzando a sexar, por lo que dentro de un mes mas ya deberíamos tener lista o cosechada nuestra Gelato. Al final de la segunda semana de floración, agregaremos nuestra malla scrog y comenzaremos a distribuir nuestra ramos lo mas posible para obtener un mejor rendimiento de nuestra niñas y de ser posible, obtener al rededor de 6 o 10 puntas por planta.

La semaine s'est bien passée, j'ai introduit le sensation verte dans l'alimentation, j'ai augmenté la quantité d'arrosage à la fin de la semaine aussi, la plus grande plante mesure 112 cm, la plus petite a changé et mesure maintenant 70cm. L'odeur devient de plus en plus précise, fruitée, citronnée, alléchante. La température, c'est n'importe quoi, ça monte à 33, ça redescend à 24, pourtant il ne fait pas chaud chez moi et j'ai un extracteur de compèt, peut être rajouter un intracteur de plus... J'ai arrosé avec les engrais en début de semaine avec un ppm de 550 et un pH de 5.8 puis j'ai arrosé avec un litre d'eau par pot à 5.5 de pH et à 14ppm( Mont roucoux) les plantes ont eu un peu soif mais elles vont bien.

February 15, 2024 Welcome back to another season of Insane Autoflowers. I have 11 weeks to finish these ladies up before 4/20. Then I have a competition to join. That being said, let's go over the setup. This setup is an AC Infinity 3x3 automated grow system. I'm running a 4" exhaust fan with carbon filter. 2 fans. Both are 6" with one being oscillating. The germination kit is also AC Infinity. With the new AC Infinity supplemental lighting, a small computer fan for air exchange and a nice shot glass to germinate these little babies. I'll be using root riot plugs and 3 gallon AC Infinity fabric pots with the AC Infinity bottomed feed watering basins. There will be a total of 4 plants in the tent. These ladies will be sharing the space with a pair of Banana Purple Punch Autos. For the seedling stage, I have the light around 250 PPFD and will bump it up to 350 PPFD in the last couple days in the germination center. I'll be reusing Sohum Living Soil. This is the second time using it, but it should be fine. I reused the same soil brand with my last grow and the Gorilla Cookies in that grow gave me 21.25 oz dried and trimmed. So, it should be fine. I also have advanced nutrients just in case. I may give a weekly dose of recharge and the base nutrients just to keep everything from getting drained completely. This strain is 8 to 9 weeks to harvest. Let's hope it doesn't go any further than that. I'll be using a couple training techniques. LST to start. If need be, I'll use a SCroG net as well. I may end up topping. So far I have noticed every single plant I've grown does better when topped. However, I have a feeling that slows the plants down and goes beyond the suggested life span. So hopefully I won't need to top them and they do just a well as my last grow. Let's hope for 10 oz per plant. One last thing, I have the new little square hydrometer from AC Infinity in the germination center. I plan to keep the temp between 75° and 80° and RH at 75% to 80%. That should be everything for today. February 16, 2024 Day 1: Both ladies popped last night and had taproots this morning. Just peeking out. Perfect time to plant them in the plugs. They will be in the Germination Center for just a couple of days. I like to ant in the final containers just before the roots break out of the plug. That way there is no stress whatsoever. I may add a bit of my seed starter soil in the top part of the pot. Just to keep the seedling from burning. However, I haven't had a burn issue yet, so there may be no point. Honestly, the seed starter soil is really for the Photoperiod plants. The ones that last about a week or two in the Germination Center. That should be all for the day. Ladies are planted. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 77.6° RH: 82.9% VPD: 0.55 kPa February 17, 2024 Both ladies are showing some green coming out of the plugs. I feel like they will pop the surface later today. I'm having a bit of an issue keeping the temp above 75°. I'm sure it will adjust once the lights go on, but for now it's just below 75°. The humidity is a bit bouncy as I can't find the correct spot for the "exhaust fan" yet. It won't really matter until the lights go on and both ladies have popped. I didn't end up filling the pots up yet. I have to wash the basins out first. I'll do that today and prep the pots tomorrow. Quick Update: I turned the light on now that I'm seeing green but not quite popped yet. It should help with keeping the heat up. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 76.5° RH: 82.1% VPD: 0.56 kPa February 18, 2024 We have some little green babies! They're perfect and it's only been 2 days. I expect these 2 to be super vigorous with how that look now. As long as I don't screw anything up. For starters, the light is 18/6 as of today. The Germination Center Lights are set to 60% power with an intensity level of 250 PPFD. Hopefully that will keep the stalks thick and short. I don't like lanky seedlings. Much harder to work with. Today, I decided to fill the 3 gallon AC Infinity Fabric Containers with reused Sohum Living Soil. This is the first time being reused so everything will be perfectly fine. My last grow had a monster plant grown in the same used soil. So it's all good. The goal is to plant the babies in the pots before the roots start to show too much. Normally I'd use a couple of nursery bags, but this time around I don't need to. I pan to use the tent environment this time. No domes, no extra bags. Just plug to soil. I plan on having the light around 18" with a humidifier. It should do the trick. I'll also be keeping the light around 300 PPFD for the first couple of days. Power should be around 20% after they establish a root system, I'll move the light up to 24" and increase the intensity to around 450 PPFD. Normally I'd work with DLI, but I don't need to yet. I will once the light is raised. So that should be an excellent transition from dome to tent life. If all goes as planned, these 2 should live up to their full potential. Quick Update: I decided to drop the light power down to 30% and gradually turn it up over the next couple of days until they need to come out of the dome. So 2 days max. Then I can turn the big light on and work from there. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 76.5° RH: 76.4% VPD: 0.74 kPa February 19, 2024 Today is a new day and a new stage. Both ladies were planted in their final containers. I watered them in with 250 ml of plain water PHed to 6.2. I didn't concentrate all of the water at the base. I made sure to start with 100 ml around the base and the rest covering the whole top soil. Their tap roots were poking out from the plugs already. I was kind of hoping for one more day in the Germination Center, but then I would have had to set up the nursery bags and that wasn't the plan for this run. Hopefully my calculations are correct with the 250 ml. I'm using the 3.4 gallon fabric pots from AC Infinity I already mentioned. They are also used from 2 runs ago and washed thoroughly. Domes were added and the main grow light is now on at 20% power. The light height is around 30" and the intensity is at 290 PPFD. It's a bit high, but the domes block out a bit of the light, dropping the intensity down to 200 PPFD. The tent isn't all that warm currently due to cold weather, but I'm hoping the heat of the main grow light will increase the temp in the domes. Currently the tent temp is 72° and the temp under the domes is around 68°. I'm hoping over the next few hours, the temp will raise up and the environment will stabilize. I can't keep the domes off either as the RH is hovering at 43% in the tent itself. I have a humidifier, but that dropped the temp down even more, hence the domes. Kind of a pickle I'm in. I'll keep trying different things until I get it right. I hope it won't take me more than a day or 2. If not the next few hours. Grow System Environment: Temp: 68° RH: 79% VPD: 0.49 kPa February 20, 2024 It's day 4 since seeds and these ladies are doing perfectly fine. Right on cue as well. I expect them both to hit the Veg stage in just a few days. Should be by the end of this first week. Maybe a day or 2 after. The domes are doing their job perfectly. Just a little bit of dew and the temps are finally leveling out at a reasonable number. 75° by the end of the morning, the environment should be spot on. That's all for the day. No watering. I'll water tomorrow another 250 ml for each baby. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75° RH: 75% VPD: ? (I'm taking readings from 2 different hydrometers. One of the main tent for temp and the one for the Germination Center for RH) February 21, 2024 Both ladies got another 250 ml of filtered water PHed to 5.8, spread around the entire pot surface. I was thinking about doing another 250 ml around the outside of the pot. It may be a good idea to start moistening the rest of the soil. So when they start the veg stage, they can take off immediately. I'll probably wait until this afternoon and then decide. I did notice that A had drier soil than B. B is in the front and A is in the rear. I wonder why that is. They look absolutely wonderful. Slightly praying and they both have really nice steady growth. The leaves are a beautiful dark green. So healthy and ready to go. The baby fan leaves have some really pronounced, serrated edges. As for lighting, I've been paying attention over the past day and I think the domes will come off tomorrow or the next day. The light may also need to be lowered when the domes come off. Currently the intensity is 200 PPFD. I think 300 PPFD should be a good starting point starting week 2. I've also been researching and I think I have a good light schedule for the whole grow. At 18/6 Week 1: 200 PPFD DLI: 13 Week 2: 250 PPFD DLI: 16.2 Week 3: 350 PPFD DLI: 22.7 Week 4: 640 PPFD DLI: 41.5 Week 5: 700 PPFD DLI: 45.4 Week 6: 725 PPFD DLI: 46.7 Week 7: 725 PPFD DLI: 46.7 Week 8: 600 PPFD DLI: 38.9 Week 9: 550 PPFD DLI: 32.4 This is based on a 3 week veg time and 5 week flower time. Update: Domes Removed. I was researching as to when to remove a humidity dome from a seedling and everything I've read is to remove them a day or 2 after sprouting. So I removed them. The tent has been sitting nicely around 68% and 77°. So everything should be fine. I'll have to keep an eye on the light. Without the domes, they are getting the full intensity. However, I'm not all that worried. They are both praying, so a bit more light won't hurt. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.6° too low RH: 77.5% spot on VPD: 0.95 kPa estimate February 22, 2024 Not much to do today. I filled the humidifier, cranked the heat and spritzed the babies with a mist of PHed water. Took some photos and that's all. No adjustments needed. Both plants look absolutely perfect. Their leaves are flat, so I know the light is right where it needs to be. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.9° RH: 80.9% VPD: 0.93 kPa

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.

Bud is unbelievable its everywhere. Strong smell for sure and ultra sticky. Frost is really coming out. Cut off the enzymes komplete I read in flower it can stress the plant. 45 days from the flip Always 5.8 ph 600 ppm A little h202 Plant goes through about 18.9 liter jug every 2 days. I feed it RO water. Try to change and scrub the rez every 2 weeks.

Performed some HST this week. Pics and video were taken 2 days after the bending. I bent the main stalk a little lower than 1/2 way down. She was getting a little closer to the HPS light than I liked (but no signs of light burn). I expect her to stand straight up again in a few days but with a new knuckle at the bend point. Then I'll probably bend her over again 👍

Vegetation: To keep temperature and moisture on optimal levels at around 23°C / 65% I'm using two mechanical timers. - 24/7 on: Fans and water pumps (+Ventilation after 3.11.) - Timer 1: Lights and Humidifier 18h on / 6h off - Timer 2 (BROKEN 3.11.): Ventilation 18h (15min on / 15min off) / 6h off NOTES: Everything looks good and the roots have appeared from almost every (11/13) rock-wool cube. From now on I'll mostly water the plants from bottom by adding the wanted amount of nutrient solution on a plate, and then placing the plant on top of for ~15seconds This week I'm also starting to prepare the hydroponic systems (2x NFT-GT90, and 1x EBB-flow I think) and stronger nutrient solution since my plants are becoming ready to be transferred. Spreader-mat is the base of my plants when I have transferred them in to the hydroponic systems. DO NOT place more than one layer of the spreader-mat as it is not meant to be used like that! As you're cutting the mat for NFT's, be aware to have some extra for your peace to reach nutrient solution below the tray. That way you won't get noise from water dropping when systems are turned on. Day 15 (1.11.) Day 16 (2.11.) First watering with a bit stronger nutrient-solution (~ EC 0,6 / pH 5,9) than before, starting with 50ml/plant and watering once from above. Slowly increasing EC to 0,8. I cleaned and assembled 2 out of 3 hydroponic-systems which I'm going to use. I'll do the same also to the last system, but it currently has my plants on top of it so I'm going to do it later. I want to make sure that my plants have built healthy and big enough root system before transplanting to hydroponics. I'm waiting for the rock-wool cubes to be bursting of roots so they won't drown on their first day in hydro. Also, as the plants are bigger before the transplant, I'm able to fill my nutrient-solution tanks full with correct strength nutrient-solution for Mid-Vegetation from the start, therefore no need for that much adjusting later on. Day 17 (3.11.) I noticed my other timer which controls the lights had stopped working... The lights were on when they shouldn't have been, I noticed it an hour after they were supposed to turn off. I think I caught up to it early, but it may have been on for maximum of 2 days straight. No worries there since on vegetation-phase the plants don't necessarily need any sleep (Even though you should avoid quick changes like that!). Roots have appeared from the bottom of every cube and plants are looking pretty healthy. I think they are almost ready for hydroponics. Day 18 (4.11.) Few plants are showing symptoms of nutrient deficiences or some sort of sickness, not certain what exactly. I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'll be transferring in to hydroponic systems in maybe a week, so I don't want to stress my plants more than what's necessary. Increased my solution strength to 0,9 EC with a bit more Cal-Mag than before, and watered the plants for 50-150ml each plant depending on weight and size. I'll be slowly increasing the strength by around 50% during upcoming week. Thanks for tips! Day 19 (5.11.) Day 20 (6.11.) Plants are recovering well from deficiences and I just transferred all of them to hydroponics. I don't have the water pumps on for 24/7 just yet, at this point I water them a couple times a day by keeping the pumps on for somewhere around 15min at a time. Lights are now set to 60% and I also added a tower fan to circulate the air and shake the plants. Day 21 (7.11.) Lights are now set to 70% since the Led's and plants are spreaded wider in the tent than before. Distance to plants stays the same at 75cm.

2/13 - a little bit of LST to bring the branches to the edges of the pot and down a bit, then letting the 8 shoots grow long enough to spread out evenly along the edge of the pot. Also got a plain watering. 2/18 - she got her feeding and almost ready for the final training before letting her grow height

been quite busy, due to my birthday and a new semester, which resulted in my Orange Apricot grew too close to the light and i mistakingly turned ny lights to 100% for a few days which ended up in light burn, so i had to re-adjust my setup and raised the lights.. also threw some netting on the orange apricot glue and some lst clips in an effort to hold them down abit.. still havent got the time to remove the burned leafs, but everything else looks perfect. ive also raised the Sweet cheese closer to the light.
