Week 7

El proceso sigue "viento en popa y a toda vela" 🌬️🌿 Aunque me he encontrado un pequeño contratiempo, algunas hojitas están siendo mordisqueadas por pequeñas orugas. Si bien es cierto que sólo he encontrado algunos ejemplares en esta cepa, también hay hojas mordisqueadas en las otras cepas, compañeras de cultivo (Red Pure Auto - Sweet Seeds y OG Kush - Dinafem). El tallo sigue creciendo en tamaño y consistencia, por lo que no necesitamos los soportes/guías, pese a que ha alcanzado los 45cm de altura 🤩 Aumentamos la cantidad de agua, progresivamente, según van pidiendo/necesitando las plantas. Sigo intentando no utilizar ningún tipo de "ayuda extra", salvo la tierra enriquecida de CANNA Terra Professional Plus donde están plantadas. Seguimos con el agua mineral, luz solar, mucha paciencia y mucho amor!🤞😍 Aunque para controlar la aparición de pequeñas orugas he añadido: 20g de tierra de diatomea (Diatical de TRABE), directamente sobre el sustrato (1-2 veces/mes y se puede aplicar en cualquier momento del cultivo). 50ml de Super Kukulus (fitofortificante ecológico)/1 litro de agua para riego foliar, tanto en el anverso como en el reverso de las hojas (2-3 veces/sem y se puede aplicar en cualquier momento del cultivo has 2 días antes de la cosecha). Además, añadiré unas pequeñas tiras (Yellow Sticky Traps) para mayor tranquilidad, veremos los resultados en las próximas semanas! 💪😅

All of the girls are growing nicely, except for one of the fast buds mystery autos Apple strudel #1 Training up to be very easy. Most of the branches are long enough for me to stretch out and take up more surface area of its pot. Apple strudel#2 About a week and a half ago he got the bottom part ate up By ants or some other bug. So I topped this plant as to make more tops And hopefully bring back the nodes that I lost Sweet skunk a little bit smaller than the rest, but it is also younger though I am kind of going for a bonsai style with this plant. I don’t believe it’s gonna be super large but hopefully I can make it look cool. It does have some decent branch areas where they are stretching Mystery auto #1 plant is growing up with a beautiful structure for the most part I have grown naturally without much interference. Occasionally I hold down the top with a garden staple to let the lower branches get some light and to give the plant some healthy LST, once the branches get longer will hopefully be able to stretch it out even more!!

Day 55 - 08/11/23 OG Kush is looking good and healthy today. Taking the upped nutes very well!! 1100PPM might push to 1250 near the end of the week. Nugs are forming nicely, and the colour is beautiful too!!! She's a stinky plant, dominates the tent with her pungent stench!!! I've moved her and the Fat Banana under the SF1000, still keeping it 18 inches above. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks. Let's see how these nugs develop!!

Gary Payton smell earthy pine on the nose. Very smooth on the exhale . Smoking a blunt and feeling good outside today 6/20/24. On my way to get tattoo so yeah I need to be high as a kite right now . Good looking MSNL I’m a return buyer.

Day 15, 24.04.2024 2100 - turned Erika II as her outer leaves touched the walls of the tent - bent Erika I a little more (LST) - soil ist getting dryer again - plan on watering in about two days again - re-arranged temperature & humidity sensor inside the tent Day 16, 25.04.2024 Nothing to do but to watch and enjoy. Tomorrow will be the first watering with fertilizer. Day 17, 26.04.2024 0730 - Watered the plants with 400ml stale water each - plus 2ml/L BioBizz Bio-Grow as stated in the fertilizer scheme. Thought shortly about giving them just half of whats written down, but then decided against it: As this is biological fertilizer I understood it is quite hard to over-fertilize. Well, we'll see where this goes Day 18, 27.04.2024 2100 - re-arranged the DIY VPN Controllers Display to be able to see it on cam without panning & tilting - Soil is again getting dryer. I am a little afraid to overwater so I decided to let pass at least 24h again. Color is dark green all the way so it should be alright - also pushed the leaves a little away from each other and the stem Day 19, 28.04.2024 1030 - Erika I is really pushing it: it seems as it grew overnight by 5cm. Okay, a little exaggerated but still - Erika II however seems to fall behind. It looks good and all, but as I need to bring up the light again to a healthy distance, I decided to lift Erika II by ~5cm to match the height of both plants - lifted the light to ~30cm above canopies - again used wooden sticks to correct orientation of main leaves perpendicular to the tents walls Day 20, 29.04.2024 2100 - something happened: I think Erika I is going into flower - already! It is day 20 for God's sake. They grow up so fast. And judging from it's size actually a little too fast, but what can you do? - Meanwhile Erika II is doing fine - without signs of flowering yet, but she always was a little late :) - however, I did my first tries in real LST by tying down the 4 main branches a little to the sides in hope they will raise their heads again towards the light soon (I hope flowering + LST on Erika I is not too much) - tomorrow in the morning I will water them both incl. fertilizer Day 21, 30.04.2024 0800 - After LST from yesterday the branches are again facing the light. A little stretch to a wider diameter is also noticeable - that seems to have worked so far - Watered each of the Ladies with 400ml (incl. BioBizz Bio-Grow (2ml/L water)) in anticipation of week 3 where I will add Bio-Bloom and Top-Max 2330 - Re-Worked on the LST - the straps were losening. However, it is nice to see the bend branches - it is working already! - Having problems with the relay that switches the venting on or off regulating the humidity. Could narrow done the problem to a mechanical one: The relay just sticks a little. Maybe it is the increased humidity that causes the problems, who knows. Will think of something.

Noticed Magnesium deficiency on lower leaves. Increased dosage in this week’s feeding and monitoring pH to ensure recovery. New growth looks stable.

🌱 GMO Cookies Auto — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run started under a 12/12 from seed approach, pushing these autos into a slightly different rhythm compared to traditional schedules. From early on, the focus was on building a strong, healthy structure without over-intervention — letting the plant express itself while guiding it gently. Through the vegetative phase, they developed into compact but well-branched plants, with a natural bushy structure. No aggressive training, just light leaf management to maintain airflow and light penetration. As we transitioned into flower, everything started stacking quickly — and now here we are, mid-flower, with the plants fully committed to production. ⸻ 🌿 Week 5 Flower — Current State This week, they’re looking beautiful, full, and alive. • Structure: Bushy, dense, well-filled canopy • Bud development: Stacking nicely across all sites • Resin: Starting to frost up properly now — visible increase day by day • Overall health: Strong, stable, and responsive There are a few minor light stress signs — slight leaf tip burn from the LEDs — but nothing concerning. It’s the kind of stress that comes with pushing intensity, and the plants are clearly handling it well. And the standout feature right now: 👉 That main cola. It’s already separating itself from the rest — bigger, more dominant, and showing real potential. Definitely one to watch over the coming weeks. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding Dialed and stable — exactly where we want to be: • 🌡️ Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Humidity: 60% • ⚡ EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 Instead of chasing generic room VPD charts, the focus remains on leaf VPD and plant response — and honestly, the plants are confirming everything. The rule stays the same: Plants speak louder than numbers. Right now, they’re not just speaking — they’re thriving. ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity (PPFD) Light levels are being pushed into a productive range: • Average canopy: ~1000 PPFD • Top colas: up to ~1200 PPFD • Full room range: ~800–1500 depending on plant height The variation comes from canopy differences — taller tops naturally receiving more intensity. And the key point: 👉 They’re handling it comfortably. No major stress, no slowdown — just steady development and increasing resin production. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Things are moving fast now — this is where the magic really begins. Over the next week, we’re expecting: • 📈 Increased bud swelling and density • ❄️ Noticeable jump in resin production • 🌸 Stronger aroma development • 🏆 That main cola to really define itself This is the phase where small daily changes start becoming visible differences. ⸻ 🤝 Shoutouts & Gratitude Big love to everyone walking this journey: • 🌍 The GrowDiaries platform • 💬 The entire community — here and across all platforms • The genetics behind this run • 🤝 The supporters and partners • 🌱 The new followers joining the ride • 🐺 And the OGs that have been here since day one Energy matters — and this one is built on shared passion. ⸻ 🧠 Final Thoughts Everything is flowing naturally right now. No forcing, no chasing — just reading the plants and moving with them. There’s something special building here… and we’re right in the middle of it.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Day 7 from light flip

I mean this genetics it's excellent ... if I would grow zombie kush again ... good job ripper seed ... she fought and was very strong against the plagues after a beginning outdoors ... she fought against the white fly. worms .. red spider and other insects ... and deserves your recognition ... it will not be the most beautiful plant with its leaves impeccable ... but she is a champion ... thank you ripper seed .. .

HOT Aussie Summer Grow GOG Cup Garden of green seeds super skunk kush 18th Jan 2022 I think she will start to flower fairly soon so here's hoping for a bit of stretch to get a bigger plant. Once she is in flower I will start to use the greenhouse feeding Bio Bloom. Thankyou for stopping by 👍

Day 28 and these girls are in full stretch. I see a difference in them almost daily now. I top dressed them with 3 Tbs of Gaia Green 4-4-4 All Purpose and 2-8-4 Power Bloom each. Then watered them in real good after that. I split 1 gallon of PH adjusted, declorinated tap water between them.

Fastbuds is the best Autoflower seed company. I’d try any other brands if someone would let me test one. As of now, no reason to switch a great thing... bravo fastbuds 🇺🇸 USA USA

Was a decent grow considering I had one arm for most of it. These came out aight good smoke and bag appeal the smell left a little on the table. The buds are solid and fat as a mf which was good. Definitely solid strain.

The Big Detroit energy will be my go to Strain taste smell and appearance all there!

PATIENCE, cooler temps and straight water for 2 weeks, girls smell sweeter each time I have a look inside. getting close to $60 for 2 complete grows with my SF 2000. my next grow I will factor in all costs from dirt, seeds to all electricity and nutrients. Some amber showing, won’t be too much longer I’m ready but the girls have other plans apparently, so I wait...waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun.... 2/28/21. .... well shit, the girls won't be ready together, which means I will need to use another tent to start drying. my place will be packed up in boxes ready for the movers except for a drying tent for the kush...its gonna be close. Later that day... one plant harvested at 1.4lbs wet (22.5 oz) Life is good

Final week before harvest. Been flushing for 2 days by the beginning of this week. Each flush takes the ppm level down slightly but not yet to pure water in the reservoir. Orange hairs are popping up more rapidly and I noticed a few amber trichomes at the beginning of the week. Trying for a slightly early harvest for the effect.
