@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle will turn out. Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle (Grape Crinkle x Sour Crack) Two of our fastest and frostiest varieties collide to make a sweet and sour delight! Expect super frosty, compact nugs that won't be a toke for novices.  Destined to be a great strain for extraction work too! Plant size - Small - Medium Cycle time - 60-65 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 80/20 Frost level - Extra Ridiculous https://www.mephistogenetics.com/product-page/illuminauto-21-sour-crinkle ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics and a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. 3 new pics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01.

Hello Diary. This time on the Farm there are two new strains from Royal Queen Seeds, Watermelon Auto and Purple Punch Auto. By the way, there are always three plants on the Farm, this time there are two Purple Punch and this diary will be dedicated to them. I would like to thank James of the Royal Queen Seeds for sending me these strains. LET'S START FIRST WITH THE FARM SET-UP: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO 200+ Ventilation - Blauberg Turbo - E 100 Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125 Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan Humidifier - Beurer LB 45 Soil - BIOBIZZ Light - Mix Pot - 11L AirPot Seed - Royal Queen Seed Nutrition - BioBizz and RQS Organic nutrition A few words about Purple Punch Automatic. The astonishing Purple Punch, famous for her sweet berry and candy flavors, received the long-awaited autoflowering treatment. The breeders from RQS created the automatic version of this popular dessert strain by crossing her with Old Skunk Auto. Out came Purple Punch Automatic, a mighty, moreish strain made up of 75% indica, 20% sativa and 5% ruderalis genetics. Being an autoflower of the latest generation, Purple Punch Automatic doesn’t need to hide from photoperiod cannabis varieties when it comes to potency and flavor: With 19% of THC, it delivers a powerful effect. The high is mostly physical and stoning, perfect for relaxing at night. Her candy flavors, a mix of berries and grapes with tart and fresh notes, make for a highly enjoyable smoke. These are the characteristics listed by the team from RQS, now we will see what it will look like on my small farm. LET THE DIARY START OFFICIALLY: 14/01/2021. Planting. After cleaning the Farm (GrowBox), I prepared everything I needed. Earth is a Light-Mix from BioBizz, Air-Pot's, Organic Additives that I mix with Earth. From the beginning of this hobby, I use only organic fertilizers. I used 11L pots, to which I added 50g Easy Boost Organic Nutrition, 10g Easy Roots Rhizobacter and 5g Easy Roots Mycorrhizza Mix to the ground and mixed everything well. After that I soaked the soil well with water, made a small hole, laid the seed inside and lightly covered it with soil. After planting is completed, they enter their new home. As I wrote earlier, in addition to the two Purple Punch on the Farm, there is also one Watermelon Automatic plant that will keep them company. The temperature in the Box at that time was 23 degrees and the humidity was slightly below 45%, so I will have to put a humidifier to raise the humidity. I set the lights 35cm from the pots as Migro recommends. 14 - 17/01/2021 I sprayed the surface of the soil with water a couple of times to keep the soil moisture at the surface. 18/01/2021 The first Purple Punch sprouted. The other is still not peeking out. If it doesn’t sprout tomorrow, I’ll put new seeds on a wet paper towel to speed up the germination of new seed. Farm: 23 degrees - 60% humidity 19/01/2021 I put new seeds on a wet makeup remover pad :), and let it germinate. 21/01/2021 I put the germinated seed in the ground. They are now officially Purple Punch # 1 and # 2 Farm: 24.7 degrees - 55% humidity 22/01/2021 I watered the plant with a small amount of water to which I only regulated p.H at 6.4. Farm: 24.5 degrees - 54% humidity 23/01/2021 Purple Punch # 2 has sprouted. I'm quite late with the publication of the diary, the reason is the large number of photos I take and then I need to find time to put everything in a pile, along with the notes and type everything nicely. No matter how much time I spend on the diary, it relaxes me and makes me happy. See you soon.

Day 71: Beautiful big frosty extremely smelly buds! They keep stacking and throwing put new white pistils. Trichs are clear and cloudy. I got the smell under control with a new filter, but when I open the tent it is like a smack in the face (but in a good way). I gave her 2L of water with nutrients. More leaves are slowly fading purple too. Day 73: 2L of water with nutes Day 75: I am leaving for a week to travel to a funeral. Death puts so many things in perspective. I asked my girl to give the plant 2L of plain water 3 days from now and then I'll water again when I get back. Today I gave her 2L of water with nutrients and pulled off a couple yellow leaves. The fore ast calls for rain, so I raised the light and will leave it on 24hrs to keep the humidity from rising too much. Anyway, now I have 2 fans circulating air in the tent, so there is a lot of airflow. The buds continue to grow as you can see in the pics. The smell is strong!

Being picky decided to keep only the one that was exceptional!

So far she is just gotten water ph 6.2ish .. i am using the dots, so this should be an easy one.... in-house genetics seem to be 🔥 .. shout out to the homie @Grow4releaf.. God bless and happy growing every ✌️

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 made this week's feed to reach around 550 to which was a big jump from 250 ppm. This was my usual start out but once I saw the information on the Royal Queen Seeds Website I decided to up my juice! Check out my Instagram page for more of my home grow! @Canha_patch🌿🌿🌿

Feed is based in 15 liters of water per time and they all took 17 litres each apart from lil was 5 litres Good morning you'll lovely canna fam hope alls well and you all.had great fireworks 🎆 weekend get this 1st year we dnt buy and wen we do we do 😉😏🤭 and we alsywas see toms and say should jus sat out side and watched so didnt but theus years and no fk### done any well minimal at least 🤦🤣. Anyway day 40 from seed and week 4 in dwc and here is the jungle now I thought I was in week 6 week 5 veg but wasn't but for 2 weeks I been doing selective defoliateation and tbey been coming vack crazy for autos thers strong

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 5 (Early Flower) 🌱 The Stretch Is Over, the Show Is Beginning Every week inside the 8×8 Adventure feels like another chapter unfolding, and Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially entered one of the most exciting stages of her life. From the moment she germinated under our 12/12 From Seed experiment, her goal has been to prove that autoflowers can still build impressive structure and healthy development under a flowering light schedule from day one. Now, after weeks of careful Low Stress Training, patient leaf tucking, and allowing her natural architecture to develop, she has fully transitioned into flowering. This week isn’t about explosive vegetative growth anymore. It’s about transformation. The first real flowers are forming, the canopy is alive with brilliant white pistils, and every branch is beginning to reveal the framework that will eventually become her harvest. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 – Frosted Guava Finds Her Rhythm The flowering transition couldn’t have gone much smoother. Standing at approximately 99 cm, Frosted Guava has developed into a beautifully balanced medium-sized plant that fills her space naturally without becoming overwhelming. The stretch is slowing down, allowing more energy to shift toward flower production rather than vertical growth. One of the things I enjoy most about this phenotype is her internodal spacing. Every branch has enough room to breathe while remaining close enough together to promise excellent bud stacking in the weeks ahead. Nothing feels crowded, nothing feels sparse—it simply looks naturally well built. Looking from above, the canopy is incredibly satisfying. Looking from the side, her structure tells exactly the same story. Healthy. Balanced. Ready. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Development Throughout vegetative growth the focus has remained on keeping the canopy open instead of forcing the plant into an artificial shape. Regular Low Stress Training combined with gentle leaf repositioning has allowed every developing branch to receive strong light without creating unnecessary stress. Those small adjustments are beginning to pay off now. Multiple flowering sites are receiving excellent exposure, air movement through the canopy remains unrestricted, and each branch has space to develop independently. Sometimes the simplest training methods produce the most natural-looking plants. Frosted Guava is becoming a perfect example of exactly that. ⸻ ? The First Flowers One of my favorite moments in every grow is watching those first clusters of bright white pistils appear. This week they’re everywhere. Each tiny white hair is another confirmation that flowering is fully underway, marking the locations where future buds will continue building over the coming weeks. The tops are already beginning to gather themselves into small floral clusters, while every node along the branches is joining the party with fresh pistils reaching toward the light. There’s something incredibly satisfying about this stage. Everything still looks delicate… Yet you already know what’s coming. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Color remains outstanding across the entire canopy. The foliage carries a beautiful healthy green tone from top to bottom, with fresh new growth emerging vibrant and full of life. Leaf posture remains excellent, stems continue thickening nicely, and the plant simply gives the impression of being comfortable in her environment. There are no distractions. She’s focused entirely on growing flowers now. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation With flowering now established, Frosted Guava is receiving the complete transition feeding program alongside the rest of the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 The AutoPot system continues delivering consistent irrigation, allowing the root zone to remain stable while supporting the increasing nutritional demands that come with early flower. Everything is progressing exactly as planned. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The entire room continues operating as one stable ecosystem, giving every phenotype the same opportunity to express its unique characteristics. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21.6°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Despite the warm summer conditions, the plants continue responding exceptionally well thanks to stable irrigation, healthy roots, strong airflow, and carefully maintained environmental consistency. The room continues doing the heavy lifting. The plants simply reward it. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Now the fun really begins. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect the vertical stretch to gradually come to an end as Frosted Guava redirects nearly all of her energy toward building flowers. Those tiny white pistils will soon develop into recognizable bud sites, resin production will begin increasing, and the beautiful open structure she’s built throughout vegetative growth should translate into excellent light penetration and strong flower development across the entire canopy. She’s entering the stage every grower waits for. And she’s entering it beautifully. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno A is exactly where I hoped she would be at this point in the grow. Healthy. Balanced. Beautifully structured. She’s a reminder that successful flowering starts long before the first pistils appear. Every careful adjustment during vegetative growth—from LST to leaf tucking—has helped create the strong framework she’s now using to build what promises to be an impressive canopy of flowers. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality inside this shared environment continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this entire 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for powering the room with exceptional lighting, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental precision, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, advice, and encouragement continue to make this adventure even more rewarding. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

I'm doing terrible. The plant hasnt done anything bad it's all healthy (super strong stock) it's all me. Trying to prolong its veg and restricting its height. But the other plants have caught up so switching to flower next week the week after ones a clone so it's already. But ones only 6 weeks. In the video I posted there is my white widow I'm confused why its stock it so tiny

Pump went out and they had some root root...seems they are ok by now

Pollen was dropping like crazy as the male flowers got ripe and ready. The females got good and coated and fully pollinated. I harvested the males to collect and preserve the pollen. Some dried and I veiled it up. But the bulk majority is still drying up. I left just the bottom portion of the male kicking for some extra pollen well the females throw off. The diary will now begin to focus on the pollinated females. The journey to beans is well under way! Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Not much to say at the minute but Candyman is looking happy, I really hope they are female now 🤞🏻 added a small amount of Nutrients and already seems to be loving it and getting bigger daily 😍

(kinda).. out of all those seeds we have 2 little guys growing...both plants are small for their age and it was a real chore getting them to sprout, we tend to keep a super close eye on these especially come flower, but we're super excited to see what will result from our cross...as always, we'll update midweek..thanks for reading folks and happy growing!! 😽💨🌱💡 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 08/29/21 🐱 These plants are growing painfully slow, i've never really seen anything like it, they look healthy just premature for their age.. we'll keep them going a little while longer, they might just be slow starters.. thanks for reading! ❤️💡🌱

I was doin LST on one gg4 clone and and zookies clone snapped the top of the gg4 and the zookies split in the middle put tape will see how it plays off today

Ordered a new board from Voost LED (VST 240w) and it's by far the brightest grow light I have ever used and for the money a no brainer.All the best quality components from samsung and mean well ncluding more IR and UV than any standard board,with the ability to place driver 1.5 meters from board outside of the tent to reduce heat even more.

- Been flushing for 3 days now. Still showing more purple tones, not much yellowing yet. - This will be my last post before harvest! Can't wait!

Place these seeds in the paper towel literally 24hrs later the tap roots were nice and long. I then placed them in jiffy pods and within 24 hours this is how they looked. So far amazing from what I see. Shout out to fast buds!!! This will be ram in the growace Aircube system.
