Alien OG Autoflower grew great, and finished beautifully. Strong smell, frosty, and sticky. She grew great under the Mars Hydro FC4800 light. It was my first time using the Gen 1:11 nutrients. I really like them, and will use again till I run out or get more. She will hang dry 24 hours then be put into the cannatrol for a 8 day cycle. I got a great grow to try it out the first time. 🤞. Thank you Aeque Genetics, Gen1:11, and Mars Hydro. 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

this is the beginning of the 4th week along with the publication of the end of the 3rd week, this is how the fourth week is received, another intensive pruning that has no choice but to do it due to the size of the indoor, which is working great for us and we believe that I will always work like this, I am happy, here then the pruning of its results a little before and after and how it is receiving this fourth week, with the threads I touch a little bit of hair I hope it does not affect much but all in favor of opening the field to all the branch buds alike.WE CHANGE THE MESH FOR A BETTER ONE AND OF THE IDEAL SIZE AND AGAIN WE USE THREADS THAT HELP US VERY WELL, WONDERFULLY

beautiful genetics, except that I left it for a few days too close to led ... and I bleached one or two leaflets! otherwise I can only have nice words for this genetics in cbd. it grows a lot even indoors, makes many branches, and has a pungent smell, the life cycle is almost over, it will be a good harvest

So another week successfully chalked off. Moved from organic powdered nutrients up to this point onto synthetic nutes. Also cleaned up all of their skirts and nipped off any buds that will turn into larf. Plus a defoliation in the canopies. And they have all responded well, really stretching now and I’ve spotted a few trichomes already. So all swimmingly at the moment long may it continue. Thanks for reading, have a great week 😊

I start immediately apologizing for not respecting the week in updating the diary, but with work and looking after the plants I had no time. Now it is the end and I have collected everything. The experiments with ice water went really well and the pollen yield has increased again. The plant is spectacular and I am very proud of my work and what I have achieved. The buds are very compact and smell really exaggerated. This Cali I cleaned it all out of the excess leaves apart from the sugary little ones and left it in whole branches and hung it on a clothesline that I am leaving in a dark room with the values checked at least for the next week so that I can start a new cycle. But the smell is just too much!!!! Great FastBud and sure I'll be making more varieties soon. The monkey has now burrowed on my shoulder and the desire to try this delight is more and more.

Training This week was the start of the LST and, with that, a continuous gentle defoliation to ensure that the new shoots are getting a lot of direct light. Leaves (especially sun sails) growing over new shoots are either pressed down or, if necessary, removed. When LSTing, I always focus on gently bending the branches in the desired direction every day, without disregarding the natural structure of the plant. Once they reach a length of about 5 cm, I start to secure them with training stakes(*1). This way, the risk of damage (as well as overall stress for the plant) is kept to a minimum. Setup The lamp is now at max. intensity and min. distance (35 cm) at around 650 - 700 PPFD. (*1) I built the training stakes myself to match my needs (enough length, natural material, no sharp edges, slightly downward facing angle). Pests + Living Soil + Environment The combination of nematodes and sand seemed to work immediately, because the number of Sciaridae quickly dropped to about 2 - 3 adult flies per day. Still, on day 40 (8 days after adding the sand) I removed it again, because: - it was rather intended to support the nematodes (fewer new larvae), - the Sciaridae had fallen to a level that seemed acceptable, - it would keep the soil too anaerobic and moist in the long term. The decision also had a positive effect on the RH(*2) (approx. 10% increase). (*2) Relative humidity fluctuated slightly from day to day, but generally remained around 50%. Although removing the sand (at the end) of this week increased the RH, I only evaluated this ‘new average' RH from the following week onwards. Environment + Plants The stabilization of the environmental conditions and the increase in light, have allowed the plants to grow intensively this week. In the beginning, the relative humidity was still a little lower than I would like, but acceptable since the plants were still quite small and didn't need to be watered as often (large amount of substrate with corresponding buffering effect to keep the plants healthy. Plants During the seedling phase, I observed slight deficiency symptoms that at first glance looked like a nutrient problem (potassium, calcium, ...?). Since I cannot control the nutrient content as precisely as I could with a hydroponic system e.g., and the damage was manageable and occurred during a phase in which I also stressed the plants by allowing them to become too dry, I simply ignored it... with success. Since the system has been back in balance, there have been no further incidents of this kind. *Gorilla Z Auto was 20 cm tall, Mimosa Cake Auto 12 cm. (Pre-)Flower I have also been able to observe pre-flowering, which is consistent with my other observations. [Autoflowering genetics in particular do most of their growing during this phase, which lasts just under two weeks, roughly starting from week 3 - 5.]

Still a Mystery… Or Maybe Not? 🤔🌿 Alright, growmies—this “Mystery Autoflower” is keeping me on my toes. The more I observe her, the more convinced I am that she’s no auto at all. At this point, there should be pistils everywhere... but nope, still no sign of preflowers. That’s definitely not typical for an autoflower this far in, and I’m starting to think I might’ve accidentally popped a Red Hot Cookies seed instead. 😅 Well… turns out my so-called "Mistery Autoflower Magic" from Sweet Seeds wasn’t quite what I thought she was. After week after week of no pistils and a stretch that just wouldn’t stop, I had my suspicions—and now it’s confirmed: She’s not an auto at all, but a photoperiodic Red Hot Cookies! 😅 Honestly, I’m not even mad. She’s been growing beautifully, showing strong structure and healthy vigor all along. She did stretch nicely over the past days, which had me thinking bloom was kicking in—but so far, it’s just veg vibes. Still, she’s looking healthy and happy, so I’m not complaining. 💧 Feeding Routine this Week: 🔸 BioBizz Grow, Bloom and Top Max 🔸 CalMag 🔸 Alg-a-Mic 🔸 Silica spray (every 3 days for strong leaves) 🔸 Homebrewed compost tea (2 days after feeding) 🔸 Effective Microorganisms (2 days after that) 🌡️ pH: 6.5 📈 EC: 1200 Let’s see what the next week brings—maybe she’s just fashionably late. Either way, she’s looking bushy, balanced, and ready for whatever’s next. Stay tuned! 🌱💫

Very fast seedling process, seeds stayed soaking for 24h and in the water they were already showing the first white root hair, another 48h in the paper towel and the day I potted them up they showed cotyledons. They took around 11 days to reach third node and complete germination but honestly I belive it could be faster if in better enviroment, mainly the humidity which was low and I transplanted them a day late. From day 5 I started feeding them exact same nutrients and ratio from the first vegetative week but starting at 0.4EC and increasing by 0.1EC/day until 1.1EC

When lightning strikes, it tears apart the bond in airborne nitrogen molecules. Those free nitrogen atoms N2 nitrites then have the chance to combine with oxygen molecules to form a compound called nitrates N3. Once formed, the nitrates are carried down to the ground becoming usable by organisms. Will it react with the oxygen in the air spontaneously, the answer is no. The mixture is chemically stable indefinitely. A mixture with air near the release point can be ignited, but if this does not happen then when its concentration gets below 4% it will be unable to carry a flame. A nitrite (NO2) is a nitrogen atom bonded to only two nitrogen atoms. Very strong bond. A nitrate (NO3) is a nitrogen atom bonded to three oxygen atoms. Weaker bond

Hey growers another week gone for my critical purple and pineapple auto grow! So as you may have noticed I finally got to hit the flower side of the diary even though my critical purple #2 has already been in flower 3 weeks! But all four of my ladies have now entered into 🌸 so that's why I waited till now to hit flower weeks of diary. So not a lot of changes this week besides all transitioning into flower. I did install an additional light so I'm now running a Viparspectra vs1000 and x2 philizon 600w led for a grand total of 2200w of fun in the sun 🌞. Since I added this extra light on Tuesday the smell has increased tremendously! My favorite part of the day is coming home and opening this tent enough to see my tent settings and to stick my big ass nose in to get a big old wiff of heaven! So enough of my rambling let's get down to business! 10/7/2021- 5ml cal mag 2ml micro .5ml gro 2ml bloom 3/4ml ph down Ph 5.9 Ppm 744 Solution temp 73.2F 10/10/21- Water Ph 6.1 Ppm 180 Solution temp 72.7°F 10/10/21- Pineapple auto #1 tried to remove tape and resnapped branch. 10/12/21- Installed an additional philizon 600w light for flower. 10/13/21- Water Ph 6.5 Ppm 180 Solution temp 73.2°F 10/14/2021- All four plants are 42 days old today!!! Critical purple #1- Guys I do have to say this lady is turning out to be something special! She stayed in veg until she was ready and boom here she goes! Really did some growing and transitioning this week or atleast I think she did! With this being said....(drumroll) This is my 🌟 of the week!!!! 💚💚👏👏👏 Critical purple #2- I do believe this is the culprit to my heavenly welcome to my grow home aroma that she blesses me with every day! She is starting to pack it on hard-core she is filling in lovely. So with adding the new light it gave me the opportunity to move my viparspectra vs1000 over top of her giving her ample light. Wednesday didn't notice any difference. Got up this morning(thurs) after watering Wednesday night and opened the tent and checked her out and it looked like she was covered in frost! She was a beauty! So I'm 🤔 another 3-4 weeks and this girl will be ready or close. Pineapple auto #1- Didn't notice a lot of growth in this lady this week. Thinking she put her focus to transitioning. So I'm about to know if my boy @Papa_T is reading my diaries because he will prob send me a message after reading this!! So... I couldn't do it!! So on Sunday which was day 4 of my branch being taped she felt strong and solid so I tried to remove the tape and just my luck when I taped it somehow I managed to get sticky sides stuck together at start of tape job so it made it twice as hard to remove the tape therefore re-snapping the branch 😪🤮🤬 I was so mad at myself. So I asked Papa_T what I should do and he said cut it off to prevent a risk of fungus so I grabbed my snips opened the tent and noticed that the plant had entered 🌼 that day. Looking at the branch I was about to cut 3 potential bud sights off i couldn't do it! So I taped her back up a little looser this go around and used a wire tie on scrog net to add extra support. I do plan to try to remove the tape Sunday making it a whole week this go around if it Snaps again it's gone! Pineapple auto #2- Not a lot to say here this girl speaks for herself! She has decided she wanted as much space as she could get! I am starting to notice a possible nitrogen deficiency as some of my lower leaves are yellowing and some have even fallen off! But she also has only had one feeding this week and two waterings. I would like to give a huge THANKS to all of u for the likes, comments, and questions answered and to @Papa_T for his patience and great conversations he is a great dude and is getting more knowledgeable everyday be sure to add this guy he could be a helpful asset to your grow and like me stress levels! We'll guys/gals till next week wackytabacky420 out!! Best of luck and Happy Growing!😎🌱💚💪💪

So this round I just lollipopped and didn’t strip the top at all, with better veg next round it’ll work better but I’m having issues with some plants not quite trellised how I’d like. Everything smells great, BCS,BD and WM are getting fat and PKB is frosty and tight. Watering is more of a chore than I’d like I think I’m just going to use some 5s for the next round . Thanks for following along I hope your buds are fat and frosty.

This is my first grow, felt like now is the perfect time to start. 😅 Picture 1 - The plants will have a 24h schedule with both sun and LED light. The solution with the cloth in front of the window is only temporary, I need something thats easy to pull up as soon as the sun comes out. My light is about 16in/37cm away from the plants, please let me know if its too close or too far away from the seedlings. Up until this point I germinated both the seedlings using one of those 'Easy Start' Kits with Microorganisms, I then just transplanted both plants with the soil still attached to them in the final pots. I am using Bio Bizz Light Mix for the soil. In about 1 week I will start adding the fertilizers, I will go with about half of what it says on the nutrient schedule because these are autoflowers. Picture 2 - Day 1 - Seedling number 1 is looking healthy. (I think?) As you can see I put a hygrometer next to it so I can monitor the Humidity and Temperature levels. I currently have a humidifier running next to the plants and humidity levels seem to be good so far. I read online between 65-80% are good at this stage. Picture 3 - Day 1 - Seedling number 1 again. At this stage I only water around the plant and dont soak the whole pot, I read that soaking the whole pot while the plant is this tiny can overwhelme the plants. I also noticed that the leaves look kinda yellow-ish? Please let me know if thats normal. Picture 4 - Day 1 - Seedling number 2. I need help with this one I dont know why but he doesnt look good, from the beginning he was much slower than plant 1 and when he finally popped out he looked like he was dying, he is kind of gaining a little bit of color now again but I dont know if he will make it. If you know whats wrong with him please let me know. I hope he opens his two little leafs soon. I still have a third seed laying around so please let me know if it'd be smarter to just abandone number 2 and germinate a new seed. Thanks for reading this far and I'll update as frequent as possible. Day 1 Issues Update - After taking a look at seedling number 2 again and seeing that after all this time it still didnt show any progress, I noticed that one of the two first leaves is actually cut. I mustve damaged it while inspecting earlier because I, (stupid newbie move), touched it too much or whatever. Now germinating my last seed in hopes that all goes well. Since I dont have anymore 'Easy Start' kits im going to try a different germination method, I will put the seed in a cup of water with a piece of cardboard on top of it overnight (12-15h) and then plant it into the moist soil afterwards. 😄 Picture 5 - Day 2 - Seedling 1 is still doing fine. In the morning the temperatures went up a lot (29 Celsius), due to the sun shining a lot through the window, and the seedling was showing slight signs of heat stress (Leafs going up and small yellow-is tint), I then opened the window and the Temperatures quickly dropped back to normal (20-23 Celsius). Moisture levels seem lower than yesterday and Im not sure why (probably because of the heat and opening the window?), still at a solid 62% tho so Im not too bothered. Picture 6 - Day 2 - Since my last Seedling 2 died I germinated another one, I put it in a glass of water over night (~15h) and then planted it into the soil. Hopefully it'll pop out in the next few days... 💪 Picture 7 - Day 3 - Everything looking good with Seedling 1, I kinda felt like it was sort of streching too much instead of growing its leaves, so I put the light closer to it. I will water again tomorrow, the last time I watered was when I put it in the soil 3 Days ago. Picture 8 - Day 3 - The new Seedling 2 is still germinating and will hopefully pop out of the soil in the next few days. Picture 9 - Day 4 - Seedling 1 still going strong, leaves are praying but I read that that is a good sign. I watered both pots again today with just Ph-water, will add fertilizer in about 3 days for seedling 1. Seedling 2 is still germinating, will post a new picture as soon as it pops out of the soil. 😉 Picture 10 - Day 5 - Seedling 1 looks healthy, but is going kinda slow. Turns out I had the light far too high... 😐 Pulled it as much down as I could now and its already growing better! Main indicator for not enough light was the stretching and the thin leaves. I will probably have to invest into a bigger setup as soon as flowering hits. ✊ Picture 11 - Day 6 - Seedling 1 leaves are getting bigger and the next set is already on the way. Picture 12 - Day 6 - After 4 days germination, seedling 2.1 finally popped out the soil! 👏 Picture 13 - Day 7 - Seedling 1 leaves seem a bit curled up, probably because of the hot sun this morning, Im not too worried tho. Will water with nutrients the first time tomorrow. Picture 14 - Day 7 - Seedling 2.1 looking fine, soil was pretty dry so I watered it a bit with ph water.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Pink Sunset de SilentSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de pasarles la tijera. Que locura de variedad , me encantó cultivarla, que aromas y que flores aparte de piedras, se ven muy resinosas y muy apetecibles. a sido una genética con la que disfruté bastante todo el proceso, crece bastante vigorosa y al final saca unos tonos llamativos y muy pegajosos. No supuso ningún problema todo el ciclo fue perfecto. Seguramente aproveche los restos y las flores pequeñas para extraer en seco a 160 micras. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: Eldruida https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Tons of fresh small growth is sprouting on the top canopy. Like a whole bush worth is starting fresh! It's going to be big by 10 weeks.
