Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the second half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: individual feeding schedule/once a week: bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

24.07.25 after a last sunny day lemon Kix was chopped and trimmed. I went for very few amber trichomes to have a less sedating effect and was surprised with two mature seeds already. I'm curious if I'll find many more when the buds are fully dried. The maturity of the seeds seems a good indicator that I'm not harvesting impatiently ahead of time. Due to the tiny result I will not grow auto strains on the balcony again unless diaries on this platform show that its really a XXL Auto.

Yesterday I discovered that, in order to change my timer, I didn't put the clock back onto it. Now they had 3 hours more light on the third day of flowering. Exactly the kind of oopsies this grow really doesn't need. But it happened and all back on a normal schedule, but I hope the OHS en GG4 aren't affected by it too much... One accidental re-vegging is more than enough for a year. Also, these sensitive strains can hermie on me for lesser reasons so from now on I'll be checking for male signs daily. The XTraKush is performing as advertised, with enormous stretch, these plants can go 10 ft up according to the breeder. So I'm tying them down and managing this to fill out the space. With all the stuff going on, this 'underdog' strain might even prove most resilient, when all is said and done. They seem to respond really well to the SP-3000 light and If you are in the market for a new light, consider this option from Mars Hydro. Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me try it, it is a dream of a light. I compared it to my old light again and PAR values are not even in the same ballpark. Thank you for checking my diary and taking the time to read my adventures! Hug Bud

Chopped on 9/11/25 Has a fruity sweet smell to it. These buds are giant and just long connected braided cola with very uniform and chunky buds throughout the whole plant

Soaked 7.27 for 36ishhrs, into paper towel for 12 hrs then into a solo cup with greentree garden supply pro ultra (coco/perlite). No plan on veg time I dont know when I'll have an open tent for flower but it could be a very quick veg kinda pheno hunt deal. First feed was a diluted leftover feed from my auto youngins. Basically about 1 ml/g of grow, 7ml/g humid acid, 1ml/g more roots, 1ml/g orca, cannazyme, hydroguard and a sprinkle of living organics in the nutes and on the top of the coco. Usually the ppm will be higher than I want it so I just dilute with r/o water until I'm down to 200-250. It makes it so I cant be accurate on ratios so that's why I'm tellin ya, but it's how I always do it no matter what nutes I use.

Day 14 from seed and things are going smoothly so far. 2 are a little behind but they are catching up. I’m only doing LST on the one Jedi cookies since I’m not sure how the space will be. Topped dressed 3/4 plants with a mix of soil, worm castings, and homemade compost I started awhile back. Should just be able to water for the next couple weeks before adding some stuff for flower

☀️☀️🥦✅

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. No son grandes pero si están bien gordas. No soy de plantar autoflorecientes pero e de comentar que con este cultivo e hasta disfrutado. Pronto la cataremos 💨💨💨. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Como las veía familia? Yo las veo verdes, sanas y con muy buen ritmo, no olvidemos que pueden llegar alcanzar un 25% thc y eso está crazy 😝. La temperatura mínima son 17 y la máxima esta en 27 , la humedad la mantenemos por encima de 50%. Esta cepa es resistente aguanta bien los cambios de temperatura y el trasplante ayudó a mejorar su ritmo. Las pasamos a 12/12 esta semana y pronto empezaremos con la floración.

Week from flip to 12 and they already make small buds

Day 42 - Nutes mixed and fed - Have a bug to remove - awaiting Petratools Fogger - Preflower is happening now - Vibe: 😅 Day 44 - Ladies looking a bit droopy and sad - Nutes given - Most likely week 1 of flower for Gorilla Cookies and Wiz Stash Remix - Vibe: 🍃😩🤞🏽🙏🏽 Day 46 - After advice provided from @GrowingGrannie & Others, I watered with purpose - The really sad Gorilla Cookies took the most water, and was in fact dried out - Did not see praying for at least 24hrs, but did eventually see praying in the top portion - As well as lifting of the lower leaves from a curled position to a straighter position - Vibe: 😰 - Readings -- Lights 24/0 - Level 9 -- Temp: 70 (ideal) | 66.9 (avg) -- Humidity: 55% | 53.4% -- VPD: 0.8 | 1.03 kPa - Vibe: 😳 "Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work though difficult problems." — Gever Tulley

Il top stava procedendo bene le bimbe crescono in salute

Heyy 🤟🏻 another week is going great and we have a lot of new growth and some buds from some of the plants. Watering about 1.5 L water per 2 days

Looking good to me so far

WEEK 10 - FLOWERING: Entering Peak Ripening ​ ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS ​Bud Swelling: We have entered Week 10 (Week 6 of Flowering), and the Permanent Bluez is prioritizing bud ripening. The flowers are swelling significantly, and the density is increasing. The structure is now fully established, showcasing the benefits of the early topping and LST. The resin production is intense, giving the buds a distinct 'sugar-coated' appearance. ​📋 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL & VPD ​This week, I am focusing on environmental precision to optimize metabolic activity without introducing stress: ​Day Temp: 26.1°C ​Humidity (RH): 51% ​VPD: 1.66 kPa ​By maintaining these parameters, I achieve a VPD of 1.66 kPa. This falls almost into the ideal range for late flowering (typically 1.2–1.6 kPa). A slightly higher VPD is beneficial at this stage as it maximizes nutrient transport while keeping the relative humidity low, which is crucial for prevent mold issues. The Pure LED Q-V2 is delivering the necessary light intensity without pushing the temperature too high. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​I am maintaining the high-feed schedule to support the final swelling of the buds, as established in the log: ​Calmag: 1.5 ml/l to prevent deficiencies under the intense light. ​Acti-Vera: 5 ml/l to maximize immune and enzymatic support. ​Bio-Heaven: 5 ml/l for maximal energy and nutrient uptake. ​Bio-Bloom: 4 ml/l for phosphorus and potassium demands. ​Top-Max: 5 ml/l to enhance terpene profile and flavor. ​Bio-Grow: 1 ml/l for overall health. ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.5 ​Humidity (RH): 51% ​Day Temp: 26.1°C ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​"Week 10 and we are in the home stretch! The Permanent Bluez is ripening beautifully. By dialing in the climate to 26.1°C and 51% RH, I've achieved a perfect VPD of 1.55 kPa, which pushes the plant without over-stressing her. The IZI Seeds genetics are handling the high-intensity routine perfectly. Keep it IZI 💚"

5cm vertical growth this week. A fair amount of new leaf growth.

22/04 Day 1 of flower. Did a bit of leaf tucking and took some off the plants. Also prunned them in the lower half of the plants. Upped EC to 1.45 aprox and today the lights for 12/12 Autopots are amazing, haven't done much this past few weeks other than check ph and the growth is super fast. Let's see how much they stretch in flower

Day 92 1000 tap added 6.3 700 Tomorrow will be three weeks since res change. Day 93 1000 tap ph5.46.1 ppm710 Another tiny nanner plucked from another bud. Day 94 Three weeks since res change. She drinks about a liter a day. Looks cooked tbh. First I've read that if/when sugar leaves' tips start burning it's better to harvest, second I checked the trichomes: lowest buds are quiet transparent, but there are amber heads on the top colas already as well. So I guess I should prepare for harvest. I don't know if I should flush. Day 95 Welp after reading a few articles and being bored I decided to change her res one last time to just cold tap. I'm not even gonna ph it, hope I'm not gonna regret it. Update: PH rose like crazy and I had to add some PH minus :) Sugar tips are badly burnt. Day 96 And I sent her to chop town.

Alright, so we're moving along with the grow but some of these ladies seem to be struggling just a little bit more than others... they're definitely growing at a great pace but the foliage just looks rough. I stopped the alfalfa Ferment thinking it might be a little to potent for them right now... we'll see how they look after another week. I'm sure they'll all grow out of the funk.
