Week 5 of Flowering Another pretty uneventful week has come to an end. The weather was absolutely perfect. 👌 And the little flowers are growing steadily. 🌸🥦 Little Pearl weathered the late LST well... I'm curious to see how quickly the flowering progresses. 😁

Week 5 of veg honestly do not have a clue how I’ve managed to get this far with her looking half happy have come across a few slight issues along the way but seems to have cleared up I think, ppms haven’t been reading what I exactly except feeding with 600ppms ph 5.5 all the time as it rises a few points I should be in the safe zone and the run off when measured is way lower (180ppms) and I’m sure my ec pen is fine so I’m so confused I don’t bother testing the ph run off as it fluctuates all the time aslong as it’s ideal what got put in I should be fine I heard i just done get why I can’t seem to get

The bud development is going great, did some light defoliation to reduce the humidity and increase the airflow. The tips are turning a bit yellow, the light was a bit close due to the recent grow. Moved the light up a bit. Too make sure it’s not a nute burn I also decreased the Nutrients solution compared to last week.

Really good week, she's almost to the finish line. Sweet berry fruit terp profile.

Grow Diary - Week 1: Germination of Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid Automatic Introduction: Greetings, Growmies! Salokin here, thrilled to share the exciting germination week of our newest addition, Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid Automatic. A special shout-out to Patricia from the Zamnesia family for granting us the opportunity to be among the first to cultivate this fantastic strain. Our journey begins as we prepare these seedlings for their future home in the controlled environment of Tent X. Germination Process: On January 24th, the Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid Automatic seeds were carefully placed in the EZ-Plug germination setup. After a brief 1 1/2 days in these nurturing plugs, the seeds sprouted, marking the commencement of their growth journey. The uniformity in their germination is impressive, showcasing synchronized and promising starts for each seedling. Growing Environment: While they're not yet in the Tent X environment, our Watermelon Candy seedlings are thriving in their current setup. We're preparing the optimal conditions for their transition into the controlled environment. Observations: The seedlings exhibit a thriving and lush green appearance, though slightly trailing their tent mates. This expected difference in early-stage growth is carefully monitored, and adjustments are made to ensure optimal conditions. Acknowledgment: A special thanks to Zamnesia Seeds and Patricia for the sponsorship and the opportunity to cultivate this exciting strain. We eagerly anticipate observing the Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid Automatic's journey from germination to harvest. Stay tuned for more updates as we nurture these promising seedlings through their growth stages. Stay Lifted, Salokin

Ordered the ac infinity carbon kit to replace the cheap ass one I've got. Only a small feed this week, dont wont to over do it. Buddy and a top soil during the week and that will be it. Ones looking really nice, the other ones tiny but looks like it will do well but the other just looks half dead in colour compared to the other 2. Seen this before so guessing it's just a shit pheno but will produce the most buds 🤣 typical autos 🌱🍁 Happy growing everyone ❤️

Week 8 done and stretch all done. Pretty happy with the space I’ve filled out now, just need to get through the next few weeks and should be a success. All look quite different, 3 and 4 super frosty. 1 and 2 not really. Just not overwatering or over feeding and trying to be patient. Really hoping they get fat and colourful but will take what I get. Now smoking the Strawberry pie which has cured nicely from the last run. So nice, feeling very grateful to my earlier self for growing it. Thanks for reading have a great week 😊

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = .46kw * 0.15kw = .17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = .99kw *0.15kw = .85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = 4.30kw *0.15kw = .65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. .17 + .85 + .65 = .67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. .67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷ 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. .67 ÷ 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Buenas en esta la primera semana desde su germinación las vemos estupendamente, hemos pasado a abonar desde la primera semana con Power rotts para empezar hacer un sistema radicular muy bueno

We suffer from rain. But don't worry. They smell very much like weed. But blooms late. So she has to be strong. To be continued.

Velocità, abbondanza e qualità altissima queste sono le caratteristiche di queste meravigliose varietà ormai in fioritura avanzata. Le temperature ormai sono estive e le piante crescono e fioriscono in maniera spettacolare. Resistono agli afidi e sembrano riempirsi di infiorescenze resinose e fruttate gradualmente. Si vede che ci sta tanta esperienza dietro queste varietà. Sono felice del risultato attuale, in circa tre mesi raccoglierò felicemente. Alcune tipo le Autoultimate sfiorano il metro ed ottanta centimetri di altezza! Il resto delle varietà sono di taglia media e continuano a riempirsi di infiorescenze! Complimenti a tutti vi voglio bene, un abbraccio a tutti!

Probably gonna harvest Friday or next Wednesday! I’m happy with the test buds I’ve tried. They have very good flavor, smell and the high is very happy and easy going for the devil cream the cream mandarine I have not tried yet and they probably have another week or two.

N deficiency but it’s ok.

Slight delay on this weeks entry as I have been busy with work! Week 6 of flowering was very stress free & the buds are getting really solid! Trichs are milky & all 3 ladies overall are lookin gorgeous. I've included a video this week so make sure to go through all the photos 😁 I've been upping my watering to around 750ml per day & the girls haven't had any issues drinking it all up. I did change the light cycle from 20/4 to 18/6 at the start of this week to give the ladies some extra sleep & time to get fatter. Light defoliation has continued as some of the leaves are starting to yellow & I've removed a few extras from around the bigger buds to give them some extra air. They all are looking so good & I'm loving the smell! It is understandable why this strain is called Blueberry! Check back soon, 2 weeks left! 😊🌿

👍 update:11/26 wtf never seen a pheno have this much tight nodes and develop side branches to colas. It a monster taking over the whole tent.

Top quality strain from one of Amsterdam’s most reputable seed banks, I was lucky enough to actually visit the physical store back in 2019 and acquired the seeds myself which added to the joy of the whole grow! 💚
