First week of flower gone! They are streching nicely, I'm stacking up the EC to give a generative stimulus. Having trouble with the temperature, there's a heat wave going on and I dont have A/C...at least it's not mold! They are holding up nicely, I'm getting a humidifier to help out. Clones are stating to show roots and callus.

So for now i am free to grow anything. No restriction at all ¡¡¡ Now i use the "" Atami Janeco Lightmix "" substrate for this plant... I hope this one are the same quality of LIGHT MIX BIOBIZZ

did not get wet weight on this one but will update dry weight in a few days

this is a strawberry gorilla by 420 fast buds, about to be harves

So outdoors are always so tricky in Illinois. This plant started in mid April when it was warm, then super cold with snow, followed by moderate weather, to be harvested a touch early due to high humidity, drought—followed by days of lots of rain. She suffered bud rot on a few sites and was harvested immediately after to save the rest of the plant. Super frosty, great terps and she survived it all! Literally! Smells like fruit and dough.

Week 7 update 🌱 – the journey continues! Last week, the first signs of nitrogen deficiency started to show. I tried to compensate, but I might have slightly overdone it with the chemical nutrients. To correct things, I flushed the roots the day before yesterday, but it seems to have caused even more stress 😅. This is my first time working with hydro, so it’s all a learning process. I’m hoping everything will bounce back, and to avoid further stress, I’ll now only use potassium hydroxide to balance the pH 💧🌿. Fingers crossed that this brings the system back on track! At the end of the day, it’s all about experimenting and improving. I’m staying positive and keeping an eye on the ladies – they’re tough, and I’m sure they’ll pull through 💪🍃. Follow along for updates, and let’s see how this journey ends! Thanks for the support and good vibes 🌺✨. --- Woche 7-Update 🌱 – die Reise geht weiter! Letzte Woche haben sich die ersten Anzeichen von Stickstoffmangel gezeigt. Ich habe versucht, das zu kompensieren, aber scheinbar habe ich es mit dem chemischen Dünger etwas übertrieben. Um das Ganze zu korrigieren, habe ich vorgestern die Wurzeln gründlich gespült, was allerdings für noch mehr Stress gesorgt hat 😅. Da das mein erstes Mal mit Hydro ist, lerne ich noch dazu. Ich hoffe, dass sich alles wieder fängt. Um die Pflanzen nicht weiter zu stressen, werde ich jetzt nur noch mit Kaliumhydroxid den pH-Wert anpassen 💧🌿. Drückt die Daumen, dass das System sich jetzt stabilisiert! Am Ende geht’s darum, zu experimentieren und sich zu verbessern. Ich bleibe optimistisch und behalte die Ladies genau im Auge – sie sind zäh und ich bin sicher, dass sie sich erholen 💪🍃. Folgt mir für weitere Updates, und lasst uns schauen, wie die Reise weitergeht. Danke für eure Unterstützung und die positiven Vibes 🌺✨.

Cruising. Kept the nutrients the same as last week as the plants are going a bit slower than advertised by crop king and Sonoma seeds. Looking like flowering will take ~10 weeks when all said and done. Minor amount of defoliation done. Will be the last time to make sure I don’t stunt these autos. And ONLY defoliating. No pruning as I’m too afraid it will stunt the plants. Lots of buds forming now. Plants looking great. Noticed that the sun shines through my windows for several hours and directly onto the plants so I have started opening up the tent everyday and letting the sun shine on them. Helping to ripen the lower buds and have them be less larfy when all said and done. This does cause the plants to drink water like no other so have had to up the volume on fertigations. I’ve been using a LUX meter to check and make sure top colas aren’t getting too much light. The thing works great! Well worth the purchase. My mothers on the other side of the tent are big so need less light and as a result I have been able to move two of their lights in close to the flowering autos. The additional light is definitely helping bulk up the plant. Currently over the two plants there is (as listed) an HLG 135w Rspec, an HLG 100 V2 3000k, an HLG 65 V2 4000k and a Mars Hydro TS600. Tons of light! I’m in isolation as 2 of my housemates got COVID. As a result, I have a LOT of time to spend babying these plants and it is paying off. See you next week!

And here we are at week 4. Yes, she is our favorite Biscotti who brought me so much luck in the contest and beyond. I really hope it becomes purple, purple like that one but I have news that the other phenotypes are also scary. After this week she is going into flowering, in the meantime, take a look, she has vegetated well, she has just been decanted into an air pot and is going into flowering. You can find it on Zamnesia https://www.zamnesia.io/it/9484-zamnesia-seeds-biscotti.html If you want some more info this is the description of Breeder Zamnesia Seeds ZAMNESIA SEEDS - BISCOTTI: DELICIOUS BISCUITS TO EAT AND SMOKE Spice up your grows and add the Biscotti strain to your cannabis seed collection. It offers the best qualities of marijuana: potency, productivity and intense flavors. Biscotti is made up of South Florida OG and Gelato genetics and contains 22–25% THC, enough to make your body vibrate from head to toe. The genetic profile of this strain is 80% indica and 20% sativa, with effects that will make you feel relaxed and creative at the same time. Plants of the Biscotti variety produce dark green leaves and numerous pistils, while the buds tend to be small and compact. Towards the end of the flowering phase, when nighttime temperatures drop a few degrees, you may also notice purple hues. GROWING BISCOTT: FAST FLOWERING Biscotti won't test your patience. You can break out your scissors and start harvesting her after about 8–9 weeks of flowering indoors. The plants are robust and vigorous and grow well both outdoors and indoors. Under the sun, you can expect heights of 130–170cm and yields of 800g/plant ready in October. Some experienced growers have reported achieving higher yields. So, the results will depend on your skills. Indoors, Biscotti typically reaches a respectable height of 130–150cm and offers yields of 550–650g/m². FLAVOURS, FLAVORS AND EFFECTS OF BISCUITS: DELICIOUS AND COMPLEX Once the drying and curing is finished, you will finally be able to taste the fruits of your labor. Biscotti is definitely one of our tastiest varieties, producing aromas of vanilla and honey biscuits contrasting with the classic diesel notes. A great addition to the kitchen where you can prepare delicious baked desserts. Being very potent and producing effects that can overwhelm the user, we advise you to consume it with caution to avoid becoming overwhelmed. This strain offers a relaxing high for the body, while the creative juices will start flowing in the mind.

Seems like the 75-85 day lifetime suggestion from fastbuds is on point and not a overstatement, (KEEP IN MIND THEY ARE FEED BY A DRIP SYSTEM FROM SAME WATER TANK / SAME NUTES) - pheno 1 chewed more nitrogen than her siblings since early on, she got a topleafs fade earlier than expected but she is forgiven because she is finishing crazy fast and feels like shes 2 weeks ahead of everyone else bonus point to her she smells strong and full of ice no matter the top fade, pheno 2 is doing avarage smells 100% same as pheno 1 but seems slower (no early fade full of trichomes too) - Pheno 3 🏅words cannot summon her up, she looks purple already and she smells like a elite photoperoid pheno hunt result, honestly id suggest fastbuds to ask me to cut a stem put it in a glass tube with gel and send it to them via mail to study or replicate her genetics if that is possible, i have never seen such absurdly 10/10 auto in my life, her smell is a John Jones punch in the nose, and not just me saying this ive shown it to my friends and they are shocked (keep in mind im a Berliner who is in toch with some of world LOUD hunter legends if yk yk) something was up with this pheno since sporut we dont know what that is but we want more of this one, she also loved the nute dose we gave her with zero problems . Pheno 4 is simmalar in smell with pheno 1 and 2 but her growth seems to be noticably slower she seems to be a bit behind id say 1 week, maybe because shes under the 6inch osculating fan and shes getting a bit less light she has 0 metabolism problems though so thats fine. Dont get me wrong pheno 1 2 and 4 smell strong and amazing too but miles away from pheno 3 and NO pheno 3 isnt a different strain put in the seed bag by mistake if you toch the stem 4 of the phenos have the exact same cherry cola smell pheno 3 is just the CHOSEN ONE.

Thanks to all the sponsors of this run @Vipraspectra (LEDs) #xs4000 #p2000 #p2000 = 880watt full spectrum @Zamnesia (seedbank ) @Emeraldtriangleseeds @RoyalQueenSeeds Hey growers @IGROWNEIL (now on Instagram) this last week has seen amazing growth the plants have been super happy with the bigger feeds and the lighting moved to 18/6 saving on electricity is a must , 12£ gbp per day to 8£ gbp , saving 4£ a day is about 300£ per run saved which will now pay for new pots and more nutrients from @terra_aquactia and mabey there light mix soil The watered method of flood and allow to dry out works really good from seedling 🌱 Really happy with these results and really happy with my @viparspectraled lights #xs4000 and #p2000s also I'm using bio roots on this run which I do think is adding to the overall growth formation along with the lights themselves. Plants appear to have alot thicker stems from very young , plants all seem vigorous in growth and appearance seem all quite healthy plants . The new soil / coco @canna_terra professional plus is great stuff and also another factor I've changed to a lighter soil mix which is definitely helping out as it doesn't seem as compressed as the other soil without coco coir . @Terra_aquatica nutes being used along with @vitalink dairys have ratios being used but @terra_aquatica bio roots is doing me well and my plants seem to love the bigger feeds I will be moving over on my next run to @terra_aquatica nutrients line only I literally love the brand and how the owner relates to his own business and plant research 🙌 Extraction and intake @blackorchid @ramfilters All 12 liter fabric pots (amazon basic) and Thhefabricpot companys Soil - @canna_terra professional plus ➕ Had an amount of fungus knats that still presist having to make sure my soil is dry and ruffing up the top layer to stop any eggs being layed down the knats are a problem and this has put doubts in my usage of this soil again as I used about 240liters which is 5 bags at 18£ GBP each 90£ on soil to then cause me more money and additional problems in a big run isn't something I can let slide as this could seriously harm financially by reducing the amount at harvest. Okay plants @zamnesia Gorilla glue Doing amazing, thicker stems , bigger leaves , did notice some calmag or N defenices leaving me to increase calmag and nitrogen, but doing really well with the LST also and start to increase the size of the Bottom branches as we can create many tops instead of the one main on weeks 3 and 4 days 21 to 35 will see the main phase of stretching Girl scout cookie's loving the growth and the girl with the leaves purple 💜 underneath are pretty cool 😎 Runtz 🚫 automatic Study looking plant doing super under some LST hopfully see some more of the bottom branches catching upto the main colas before I hit them with netting @royalqueenseedsrqs #dosido Expected more from these girls but there starting to come back a bit faster now hopefully this keeps up @emeraldtriangleseeds #lemonhazeauto Doing well under LST being a sitiva I'm gonna watch closely for major sprouting. #headlightskushauto Doing well also under LST any defenices you see on plants will be me getting used to this new soil which I'm finding tempermental and a problem with knats #blueberryauto Coming back to life this little girl has surprisingly gained some traction keeping a close eye on her as I can't wait to finally try Blueberry weed , proper stuff 🙌 Thanks all for liking and commenting 🙂 Please follow me on Instagram @igrowneil

-I moved the tent next to my heater because temps were dropping and humidity went above 65% at night -removed the scrog net for convenience -besides that not much happened sorry for the few photos. Next week will be more detailed

I can't complain she hasn't skipped a beat since I took over only problem im seeing is very leggy and not vigorous branches but I have a strong feeling things will be different next week stay tuned my fellow plant janitors 👨‍🌾

Everything good! See my comments above

Girls grew a lot these two weeks. I was away on vacation and they did fine. Except I wasn't there to control the stretch perfectly. But you don't have to be perfect every time. I managed to take some clones from one monster plant. Fingers crossed she will end up with purple flowers.

| 📅 Week 10 | Days 64 - 70 | 💡 750w 📏25' | | ☔ 38%-50% | | 🌡️️🌞 72 - 74 | | 🌡️️🌑 68 - 71 | 1/11 The reservoirs were swapped out with fresh nutrients and topped off at 5.8PH. I will give them another day or two before flushing I think. The smell is currently fantastic 1/12 There really isn't much to do with these girls anymore other than PH every day and make sure their water levels are consistent to maintain their nutrient levels. Tomorrow I will begin the Flushing 1/13 I decided on one more day of nutrients. I Topped off the Reservoirs and adjusted their PH's to 5.8 as usual. I cleaned out the tent today as well. I can't wait to harvest these buds they are looking great. 1/14 Today is Flushing Day! I will flush them for about 6 days which is very fairly long for a typical DWC grow. I will only PH the water from here on out. 1/15-19 I Flushed these plants while maintaining a stable PH and humidity the best I could. The water level is not important during this because without nutrients you don't need to worry about ratios as long as you just keep the PH stable you will be fine. With a longer flush like this one, you should expect to see death in leaves its ok. I only did this for life reasons, I suggest a 3-5 day flush in DWC. These plant's Trichomes matured fast and harvest time approached quickly. The smell in the tent is very potent and gloves are going to be an absolute must on this chop! I will be hang drying the plants inside the dark grow tent with ventilation to maintain humidity levels. I don't personally have a preference between a slow or fast drying process. This time I will be looking at 3-5 days of hang drying before chopping them into jars for a few weeks of cure using Boveda packs. I'm very pleased with the bud color and smell even though the overall weight will be less than desired I will be growing this strain again immediately. There isn't too much more to add to this week other than the grow is complete and the Dry/Cure process is all that is left. Be sure to look out for the harvest update with the final weight and smoke test! _______________________________________________________________________ Feel free to leave comments/questions below or give me any feedback to improve my diaries.
