Overall good week finally setup my double trellis net, I hate it because my room so small and I have to crawl all around to get anything done. Plants were looking good a few branches which are completely unnoticeable looked like they suffer from nutrient burn. Beside that we taking off. I’m expecting some significant changes in the coming weeks.

WELL, there we are! Finally i put her into flower, she is drinking already 1,5L of water EVERY DAY. in VEG!!! i hope i don't have to refill the bucket every second day when in flower 💀 She recovered really nicely, and is healthy and strong for flower. I really like the genetics, nice fast growth and i can't wait to see her producing buds. My plan is to get the canopy even more even and get as much uniformity as possible so i will get a lot of nice buds with the same quality. DLI is on 25 RN and will be adjusted slowly over every week. next goal of DLI is 30 by the end of the week. I hope you guys are doing good, take care of yourself and see you on the next update (:

Hello Diary. This time on the Farm there are two new strains from Royal Queen Seeds, Watermelon Auto and Purple Punch Auto. By the way, there are always three plants on the Farm, this time there are two Purple Punch and this diary will be dedicated to them. I would like to thank James of the Royal Queen Seeds for sending me these strains. LET'S START FIRST WITH THE FARM SET-UP: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO 200+ Ventilation - Blauberg Turbo - E 100 Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125 Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan Humidifier - Beurer LB 45 Soil - BIOBIZZ Light - Mix Pot - 11L AirPot Seed - Royal Queen Seed Nutrition - BioBizz and RQS Organic nutrition A few words about Purple Punch Automatic. The astonishing Purple Punch, famous for her sweet berry and candy flavors, received the long-awaited autoflowering treatment. The breeders from RQS created the automatic version of this popular dessert strain by crossing her with Old Skunk Auto. Out came Purple Punch Automatic, a mighty, moreish strain made up of 75% indica, 20% sativa and 5% ruderalis genetics. Being an autoflower of the latest generation, Purple Punch Automatic doesn’t need to hide from photoperiod cannabis varieties when it comes to potency and flavor: With 19% of THC, it delivers a powerful effect. The high is mostly physical and stoning, perfect for relaxing at night. Her candy flavors, a mix of berries and grapes with tart and fresh notes, make for a highly enjoyable smoke. These are the characteristics listed by the team from RQS, now we will see what it will look like on my small farm. LET THE DIARY START OFFICIALLY: 14/01/2021. Planting. After cleaning the Farm (GrowBox), I prepared everything I needed. Earth is a Light-Mix from BioBizz, Air-Pot's, Organic Additives that I mix with Earth. From the beginning of this hobby, I use only organic fertilizers. I used 11L pots, to which I added 50g Easy Boost Organic Nutrition, 10g Easy Roots Rhizobacter and 5g Easy Roots Mycorrhizza Mix to the ground and mixed everything well. After that I soaked the soil well with water, made a small hole, laid the seed inside and lightly covered it with soil. After planting is completed, they enter their new home. As I wrote earlier, in addition to the two Purple Punch on the Farm, there is also one Watermelon Automatic plant that will keep them company. The temperature in the Box at that time was 23 degrees and the humidity was slightly below 45%, so I will have to put a humidifier to raise the humidity. I set the lights 35cm from the pots as Migro recommends. 14 - 17/01/2021 I sprayed the surface of the soil with water a couple of times to keep the soil moisture at the surface. 18/01/2021 The first Purple Punch sprouted. The other is still not peeking out. If it doesn’t sprout tomorrow, I’ll put new seeds on a wet paper towel to speed up the germination of new seed. Farm: 23 degrees - 60% humidity 19/01/2021 I put new seeds on a wet makeup remover pad :), and let it germinate. 21/01/2021 I put the germinated seed in the ground. They are now officially Purple Punch # 1 and # 2 Farm: 24.7 degrees - 55% humidity 22/01/2021 I watered the plant with a small amount of water to which I only regulated p.H at 6.4. Farm: 24.5 degrees - 54% humidity 23/01/2021 Purple Punch # 2 has sprouted. I'm quite late with the publication of the diary, the reason is the large number of photos I take and then I need to find time to put everything in a pile, along with the notes and type everything nicely. No matter how much time I spend on the diary, it relaxes me and makes me happy. See you soon.

Can I just say, these plants growth and development have been awesome, in the beginning she just grew horizontally and at a snail rate, but in my absence it’s like she was preventing her growth, and the problem with Monday’s Blue, it’s pot was not filled to the brim with grow medium (alike Unknwon Strain), unlike the other 4 plants so it did not get enough wind and sunlight, but guess what, nature always makes a plan. Look at her now.

Day 23 - These chubby, stubble little chicks finally got tall enough that I could LST the top cola. These girls seem healthy as shit but man I'll be happier as they continue to stretch. It's been hard working in the soil because of all the fan leaves. Worried about future moisture issues. Still have no clue how much to water them. Day 25 - Gave them their first nutes. Used about a third of the recommended pair from the fox farm trio since I'm using Ocean Forest soil. I've heard it's pretty hot, so I just fed with Calmag the last ten days. Continued with training the branches and it's really helping out. The branches are easy to tie down now that they are getting some length. Lights turned down to 82% for the last two days or so. Did some rearranging since the par in the center is slightly higher. My thought is the increased distance to the center will allow me to get balance out the two Pinots since the Sammy is shorter. We will see. I may send that off to live with a buddy if I run out of space. Random - Did I mention one of my other hobbys is home automation? I uploaded a shot of my dashboard that changes every time I get some crazy idea. I have fun messing with it and it keeps me in touch with my plants. Day 29 - two are starting to flower. Removed the humidifier and bumped the light up to 90%. Finally realized what a dry pot weighs so that helps to know when they need water. Time lapses are really helpful for me because I can see how each cola is developing. I can see where I need to tuck fan leaves and focus some lst love. Big momma is complete and going to let her be since I think it’s well distributed. The other Pinot is a few days behind, as is the Sammy. Happy with all Bree so far. Work has begun on the automatic watering system for when I need to leave for a few days

Overall i am satisfied with this strain and I do plan on buying more seeds from Barney’s farm. Very strong and stable genetics I highly recommend this strain to experienced growers as well as newbies. Very easy to grow and a great smoke.0

day 35. feb 19- been slow to update, scrog was plonked on top of plant as it showed signs of height becoming a ptoblem given the other 3 plants. seems to have stalled a bit this week after application of screen but after 4 days she seems to be back in business allbeit slow in comparison to my bubblegum which was started at the same time(see other post). nutrient wise im trying to follow the bio canna schedule which is designed more for soil than my special mix which i added a BIT of soil to, as such it likes to drink a litre seemingly every 4 days. contin7ing to interchange nutes with fresh water but also not wanting to flush too much of the goidness out. 1l of nutes then ill follow with 300 and 300 ml of fresh ph'd water. also given the fact the organic nutes ph themselves in my mixing jug, im wondering what happens when i pour acid ph-downed water to my pot.. wonder whether it better to just give pure distilled at ph 7 than take water from 7.8 to 6.2 using acid to then feed the plants. *shrug*.

Start of day 63 hereNot much that I can mess up just flushing with r/o water PH 6.4. However I've learned a lot over the last couple of weeks, thanks to all the great advice and photos in every diary here. My big lessons are that you add nutes at a considerably lesser rate than recommended, in my case especially since I amend my grow medium. Also add all nures in the correct order and ph before finally adding any innoculent such as my home made lactobacillus. I'm working on the don't over water in veg thingy. I learned that I really need more distance on the lights in bloom, as I finally raised them 2 inches a few days ago and have probably doubled the size of yield by doing that alone, they literally jumped up. Finally, well so far I see from a lot of other diaries that I've been wasting a ton of space, so I will try a SoG on my next grow to get a better yield. Checked the trychomes this morning , mostly still frosty a few opaque no amber. Allright thanks again and leave a couple for seed. Day 66 getting close, may harvest tomorrow. I took 2 plants to my brother and he was impressed enough to order some MARS HYDRO and such. We put the 2 plants I gave him in the yard until he gets a closet setup. So my harvest will just be 2 plants. But hey, I'm no longer his gardner haha. Posted a few pics the trychomes today are starting to turn. Happy happy. Day 69 we drove by a dead skunk today and my wife started waving her hand in front of her nose while lowering the window. I couldn't smell a thing. So I guess that's why I clicked, smells normal.

My Skunk Apple Run plant is still a bit young, but I can see those buds starting to form. It's a bit of a slow starter, with buds popping up all over the place instead of a nice even line. We'll see if adjusting the light cycle or its food might help it along. I'll keep you posted on any changes. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

La semana fué realmente bien 👍😌🙌 Esta semana sera la última con el ciclo 18/6 para empezar con un 12/12 y comenzar la floración la semana que viene 💪 Hemos estado aplicando durante todo el proceso 2ml de Terra Vega para la etapa vegetativa de la planta y comenzamos a darle Pure Zym de Plagron para que absorba odos los nutrientes posibles sin saturación 👌

D01 - 25/09 -> New Home for my fellows clones coming from one of biggest plant I ever saw: a Royal Queen Seeds Skunk XL D02 - 26/09 -> I think she has a little zinc deficency, so i dropped down to ph to 5.5 D03 - 27/09 -> Topped one girl to see what happens. If everything goes well, I'm going to topping all of them. Increased EC until 1.3 D04 - 28/09 -> Topping of other buds D05 - 29/09 -> Rest for the girls. Increased EC until 1.5 D06 - 30/09 -> SCROG Net Setup and a little of defolation. Tomorrow I'm going to cut all the branches below the red line (see picture). I want to make a main lining alongside the SCROG Net with 2-3 branches and cut off all the branches below except for the girl on the left that is too short yet. D07 - 01/10 -> I Cut off the branches of only one girl, waiting to see her reaction to the stress before to do the same to other girls. Increased EC until 1.8.

Almost there- chop day for the rainbow forest! 🌈✂️ After 77 days, the plants have reached that perfect 10% amber / 90% milky trichome ratio I was aiming for. Even though they’re three different genetics, they all hit the sweet spot around the same time. I’ll be back soon after the great chop chop with a full dry and smoke report. Happy days, Growmies! 🌿🔥 Stats for the grand finale: 💧 Watering: 1.5L every other day 💦 Humidity: ~55% RH 🌡️ Temp (lights on): 22–26°C 🌡️ Temp (lights off): 20–22°C 📈 Avg. VPD (lights on): ~1.45 kPa

Really happy with the rate of growth. Both plants responded well to training and have bushed out pretty well. Going to let them stretch out from now on. God's Vagina has finally shown she is a female! Both plants are now growing at roughly the same speed.
