Wow what a week this has been, the plants have all undergone fair dramatic changes. A real flurry of leaf yellowing, pistil darkening/curling, and bug swelling. The smell is really coming along now, I think we're really quite close to harvest. On the assumption that pre-flowering was two weeks, this strain should be ready at the end of week seven flowering, so in the case of this diary the end of week nine (i.e. one week to go!). Pistils are about 70-80% amber, and the lower pistils on buds have started curling inward. Trichomes look to me to be something like 10% clear 80% Milky 10% White. I have smoke tested a small bud off the lower part of plant 3 today after quick-drying overnight in the airing cupboard, taking into consideration the obvious chlorophyll from the fast dry, the high was much closer to what I am expecting than the last smoke test. It came on at the normal pace, was quite effective, and lasted a good while. I am really hoping I can navigate my way through the next process, as I feel quite close now to having some home grown bud for the first time. The plants are being well watered this evening with just water, and this will be the last time that I water them until harvest. I will continue to monitor these daily, I intend to harvest at the first sign of any amber trichome. Advice and comments welcomed. P.S. Exciting news! My order from Green House Seeds arrived today for my next diaries! :)

Week 5 Marvels: Cherry Cola Auto's Grand Green Symphony, guys get ready for some exiting report, what a week , what a week <3 <3 <3 We've hit Week 5 of the Cherry Cola Auto adventure, and I'm buzzing with excitement to share the latest chapter in this extraordinary journey. Our green queen continues to defy expectations, growing at a pace that hints at the making of a true horticultural legend. Surprisingly, our Cherry Cola Auto remains in her vegetative stage, and I must say, she's growing into what can only be described as a potential green monster. The anticipation for the flowering stage is building, and the sheer size she's reaching makes me think we're in for a botanical spectacle of epic proportions. The ballet of bending continues, with a touch of finesse and a dash of strategy. Every branch is a brushstroke in this green painting, carefully orchestrated to maximize light exposure and encourage lateral growth. The benefits of bending are becoming increasingly evident – a wider canopy means more bud sites, and more bud sites translate to a potentially bountiful harvest. In my quest to create the optimal light environment, I've been selectively plucking away those shading leaves, allowing the lower branches to thrive. It's like pruning the excess to unveil the hidden gems, ensuring every part of the plant receives its fair share of the spotlight. The result is a vibrant, evenly lit canopy that promises abundant photosynthesis. The nutrient elixir from Aptus Holland remains the backbone of this green symphony. The familiar blend of Regulator, caMg-boost, Start Booster, and Enzym+ is like a well-practiced melody, ensuring the plant's nutritional needs are met with precision. And for an extra touch of indulgence, a refreshing shower of Aptus Holland NutriSpray was on the menu. Not that our Cherry Cola needed it, but a little extra love never hurt. Why all these techniques, you might ask? Each bend, each leaf pluck, and each nutrient application serves a purpose. Bending creates a balanced, open structure for optimal light penetration, leaf maintenance ensures efficient energy distribution, and the nutrient elixir acts as the lifeblood, fueling this green powerhouse. It's not just about growing a plant; it's about crafting a masterpiece. As we wrap up Week 5, the Cherry Cola Auto stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities of cultivation. The anticipation for the flowering stage is palpable, and the journey thus far has been nothing short of an epic green saga. Stay tuned, fellow green enthusiasts, for the next thrilling installment in the Cherry Cola Chronicles!

2020-06-13 Going heavier on nutrients now, I went too high with my initial amount. After pH, it was a whopping EC=2200!! Too much for these ones. I had to dilute this weeks nutrition down, so I have to estimate the nutrition levels as I had to add water and pH it. I started with a whopping 7.6 mL/Liter but probably ended up with about 6.5 mL/gallonI EC=1800/ now keep calimagic constant at 3.79 mL/gallon to help buffer the solution and keep the solution stable. The additional calimagic has stopped the spread of the rust spots and new leaves are a lighter green and have stopped turning dark! Success. 2020-06-14 Thinking about doing the last topping and LST session this week and then transitioning to bloom. Thoughts on that? I have them on a 'transition feed' right now that is very nutrient dense! Started about 950 ppm for the healthier looking plant. The 2nd plant is still getting slightly less nutrients but the magnesium deficiency hasn't appeared in the newest growth. Roots are growing crazy amounts every day! You can see that the 2nd bucket plant started making tons of roots out of the side of the bucket again. Nice to see the bounce back once given adequate nutrition. I have reduced expectations for that plant but it was definitely a lesson in how to prepare and interpret feeding schedules AND how your plant is reacting to them. 2020-06-15 Did some light defoliating today, removing a lot of the lower fan leaves and sucker branches/growth tips... Going to veg for the rest of the week and then change both over to flower. 2020-06 19 Day before nutrient change, they are growing too fast now!! ahhhh!! 2020-06-20 Day of nutrient change! Took them out of the grow tent while I swapped out the buckets.

Day 2: Quite a bit of root growth occurred today, the seedling is doing really well. Day 3: So far so good. I had a bunch of seeds bomb out before this and I'm glad that things are starting to look up again. 😄 Day 4: I've planted two more seeds into the same pot for the purposes of germination and made a new pot with two other seeds in that one. Starting to try the sea of green.👍

Pheeew... another intense training week is gone, and as I was thinking the past week the baby is a girl and started flowering already at around day 25, which I pretty early but considering all the stress of the 3 transplant and the massive LST it's acceptable. After reporting her in the final 20 Lt pot, no stress was encountered although and she start stretching pretty fast as plants do on preflowering. I introduced blooming nuts as soon as I saw pistols and everything now I'd going pretty smoothly. I'll give her the last 10 days of heavy LST and then I'll leave her doing her things. For now it's all, stay tuned, stay high!

Medium Coco 3.3 gal (66%) or 3 gal(60%) Perlite 1.2 gal (24%) or 1.5 gal (30%) Worm Castings .5 gal (10%) Gaia 15 tbsp 4-4-4 / 2-8-4 Epsom salt 2 tbsp Myco - 1 tbsp Sat for about 2 weeks before seeds went in and developed some mold I guess that means decomposition started. I moved the dirt around dunno if i should’ve done that lol. *** FAIL *** Germination : 10/7 2pm wet paper towel + Myco All 6 seeds popped but I cooked them while trying to keep warm…RIP 420 mystery pack Germination I0I6 6:30 pm glass of room temp tap water + few drops of h2o2 Day 2 Moved seeds to “dookie”paper(myco), all seeds have visible tap roots popping out except amnesia zkittles , which was the biggest seed, and looks to just be opening up. Day 3 AZ caught up and GP has a fat chub of a tap root lol. Planted all the seeds into holes with myco. Was a bit sketchy some had weird root shapes and hopefully I didn’t plant them too deep. Sprayed with dechlorinated not PHed water. Day 4 - Girls in the dirt. Watered a few oz with a spray bottle. Not PHed with FishSh!t New grow. Going organic and auto flowering this time, so new experience. My plan is to just lst with minimal interference since they grow fast, and maybe top 2 of them just to experiment. Also planning on adding some more light. Any advice or comments are welcomed and appreciated.

I am starting a Green Cure CBD Auto in a solo cup. I scuffed the seed ends. It will be in a cup of water for 24 to 48 hours. Until I seed a seed tap root. It will then be placed into the coco in the solo cup and domed till it sprouts. Thank you Zamnesia seeds and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

I tend to forget about her as im mesmerized by others, she’s the one with the best perfume currently in the room. It’s very possible she starts busting late flower, trellis is up show me what you got girl. Coated top down she is some sticky icky oooooh weee! Yep hydro still in Veg Ive topped for a second round shit will be bonkers and going in the flower tent after this round. Will most likely initiate flowering in aboit 2 weeks or until she blows the top off this tent. Stay Safe Stay Fresh GHL

She stayed safe while I was away. She’s not growing much taller for now, but she’s developing some beautiful branches that I think are going to explode with flowers during the bloom I hope 🧀she’s about 15 cm tall 😎☮️💚

WEEK #13 - THE GLASS IS HALF FULL? A bit more progress again, plants are now roughly 50cm in diameter and 30cm (Skywalker) / 35cm (Slush Mint Cake) in height. In fact, i was able to move some branches to the next "squares" of the net, which feels very pleasant/satisfying. As far is i can tell, Slush had in fact more stretch than skywalker, which seems due to the strain genetic. Lots of leaves pressing towards the walls at the moment. Waiting for stretch to finish so i can remove them, and also the leaves blamable for, as well as the always shaded bottom shoots - no need for them when you have so many one on the sunny side. Seems i need to check soil / bag weight more often as some leaves showed signs of being withered (which i removed). Well, it totally makes sense that plants of double the size need water more often and also drink more. Opened the tent today and saw 3 of the tiny annoying flies, so immediately preemptively set up traps. Smell: Still not stronger than before (yet), very faint and not very distinct ("green"). Although one definitely can smell something (or ist my imagination?). Light: Still 35cm distance for appr. 800 PPFD/µmol/m²/s. - - - Question(s): Ready for defoil, si o no? Do you like the videos? Seem to provide a nice and better overview than single photos.

Der Steckling aus dem Garten Eden hat in der ersten Blüte Woche ein Wachstumsschub von fast 30 cm hingelegt. Ich habe einen Blüte Dünger auf in Salz Form benutzt. Ich hoffe ich habe mir meine Boden nicht kaputt gemacht. Durch den Einsatz von Klimaanlage und Entfeuchter hab ich sehr stabile Werte die sich konstant halten. Ich möchte mich in diesem Durchgang auf maximale Hartz Produktion und Erhalt fokussieren. Welche Tipps habt ihr für mich die ihr schon getestet habt?

6/29 - 4 days after I gave everyone the compost tea, the Wonder Woman ladies have sprung back to life! The compost tea was a literal life saver. Just a few days later and their leaves have lost the yellow tinting between the veins of the leaves and her leaves are more smooth. 6/30 - Top dressed all with Uprising Grow and Uprising Foundation 7/1 - Today I did a little selective defoliation on the Wonder Woman ladies. They are looking stronger and stronger each day. 7/2 - Today was feeding day. Gave them a dose of their regular nutrients. They are very happy! 7/3 - Added some red wigglers today! I ordered some Red Wigglers from Uncle Jim's Worm Farm and they arrived today. I added about 10 to each pot then moistened the soil a bit with just RO water pH to 6.6. I can't wait to watch them do their thing!
