Hey! Welcome to week 9 for Karen! Week 8 is now complete so please go and check it out 🙏. Big week last week... massive.
Day 57: Fertigated 6l. Height 40cm.
Day 58: Scent has stepped up again and I'm noticing some of bud sites starting to develop frost.
Day 58.5 Flushed with 20l of PH & CalMag.
Day 59: reorganised tent
Day 60: Fertigated 3l. Karen has put on a load of frost in the last 24h. I mean seriously. Smell stepped up again. Height 44cm.
Day 60.5: I have had a really good look at other KKA grows. I think Karen is going to need a few extra weeks. I think she will be ready for harvest in about week 14. So I think we have about another 4-5 weeks to go.
Day 61: Adjusted the LST a bit. She's frosting rapidly now. 😍😍🤩 Height 45cm. Width: 60cm x 70cm
Day 61.5: It is only 8 days since I *heavily* defoliated and I think I probably should do it again already. Things are progressing well at the moment though so I am trying to resist doing it too soon. She is still stretching.
Day 61.75: Right, I have done some research and I have made a decision,. I'm going to give Karen 2 full weeks from the last defoliation on day 53, so on day 67 (i.e half way through next week) I will defoliate and perform final LST just to space out the colas a bite more at the "top" of the plant.
Incidentally, Nesia is now easily the same spread as Karen.. Nesia is going to be much bigger than Karen. Check out Nesia here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/161801-grow-journal-by-unorthodoxdude
If you are interested in the stunted Big Bang Auto - Bertha - who is 2 days younger than Karen, check her out here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/158111-grow-journal-by-unorthodoxdude - in the current week I have added various photos of the non-cannabis plants in my tent. Who knew basil flowers were so pretty? 😊
Day 62: Fertigated 3l
Day 63: Height 47cm width 65cm x 75cm
Week Summary: Another big week with a plant barely recognisable from herself a week ago. As well as the ongoing stretch she has started to frost over this week and I am hoping this continues because more and more is appearing all over the place.

Well, well, well.. My first harvest! I'm very happy with how healthy the plants remained the entire time. I learned that growing outside is definitely easier than maintaining a tent environment, but you don't have as much control over the factors like amount of light the plants recieve and when they get their waterings! More fertilizer and better LST would be my takeaways from this grow. Excited to see how autoflowers perform in a tent next, otherwise I will say the amount I harvested from this plant was somewhat underwhelming.

Plants were small as grown under a 100w led light but have produced some dense buds. Hoping that will achieve "1g per watt" 100g dry but not sure its likley.
Will update once finished drying and weighin for cure.

Kind of given up on this one. I had an issue catchung runoff which led to me not watering plants enough
Not watering plants to runoff will result in higher substrate Ec(Generative cue and also could burn plants)
Also its about 20• outside which does not work for the plantsr dark period. December and january are tough months.
I recently learned that i should

What a massive turnaround from last week! Mother Nature finally stopped teasing us and brought the summer heat. We had glorious, non-stop sunshine all week, with temperatures climbing all the way up to around 30°C.
Training & The Stretch: 🌿
I’ve officially put the LST ties away. I didn't touch them at all this week. Looking at them, it feels like the majority of the flowering stretch is finally wrapping up. Now it’s all about stacking those buds!
Feeding Update – Dialing in the Recipes:
With the plants working overtime under the hot sun, the feeding schedule has been quite busy:
Team Organic (Banana Purple Punch & Amnesia Haze): They got a full-course meal this week to support peak bloom. Alongside the tap water and CalMag, I added BioBizz Bio Bloom, Top-Max, and just a tiny dash of Fish-Mix to give the microbes a nice little energy boost.
Team Mineral (Lemon Cherry Cookies & Bruce Banner): They are cruising along nicely on a steady diet of Hesi Bloom Complex paired with CalMag to keep everything perfectly green and balanced.
Current Standings: 📏
Lemon Cherry Cookies: Still holding her crown as the undisputed giant at 70cm. She seems to have settled into her final height and is looking incredibly majestic.
The Rest: Bruce Banner, Amnesia Haze, and Banana Purple Punch have used the sunshine to catch up beautifully. They are all sitting right around the 50cm mark now, looking sturdy, healthy, and ready for a spectacular show.
The energy in the garden is amazing right now. Let’s hope this beautiful weather stays with us as the buds start filling out!

THURSDAY 12/20:
Beatrice is still packing on the pistils, but it's a race between her buds finishing and all her leaves all falling off. I watered her today with just bembe, calimagic, bud candy, and terpinator. I'll give her Cha Ching in a couple days..and maybe again once before I start flushing her.
FRIDAY:
The new evaporative cooler is working pretty well in the tent. High temp was 84f with it running on medium and with ice in the reservoir. That's a win. I suspect that when I need to run the other two 85w bar lights it will be pushing 90f again unless I run it on high. RH is is staying between 38% and 45%, which is another win!
SATURDAY:
I fed her about a gallon of full-strength bloom nutes and extra bembe/terpinator and cha ching.
SUNDAY:
Photo session! She's getting closer now...I may start flushing her on next water day.😋

Estamos en las ultimas. Se ve que ya no quedan mas de unos 10 días (a la purple quizás un poco mas) pero dentro de todo ya esta finalizando el resultado. No es el mejor de todos, mucha asimetría, mucho problema y mucha irregularidad en el cultivo que dentro de todo hacia complicado saber de dónde pudo haberse generado el problema, pero aun asi algo de producción obtuvimos. Más allá de revisar la productividad de este cultivo, veremos qué tal la calidad de este.

Transplanted these 5 Banana chem freak plants into 5 liters of homemade medium, thursday 5 days ago.
1/3 Coco coir, 1/3 Perlite, 1/3 Wormcast. With Plagron Supermix, Bat guano, Root explosion, Mycotrex, watered with 5ml/Liter Orgatrex. (forgot to add Mineral magic)
No more PH down, soil should be large enough of a deposit now for the bacteria to do their job (i hope).
This is just my second try at an all organic flowering, first time was with Seedsman regular White widow, this Banana chem freak strain should be a little more difficult, but i trust the Bio tabs products and hope they will support my grow, with knowledge and wisdom words as the grow progresses.

Tbh it’s looking alright , definitely stunted in growth and couldn’t really leaf braid or LST so I’m just letting it grow how it wants, might put it on something to raise it up to keep an even canopy, but I’ll do that once I know it’s stopped stretching 👌🏻

Bueno resumiendo cookies gelato es una variedad híbrida muy fácil de cultivar pero ojo, cuidado con los últimos riegos si no queréis perder cosecha por moho. Lo demás de 10 pegada heavy sabor increíble, cogollos duros como rocas y bañados de una gran capa de polen.
El ambiente del secado se mantuvo en 23 grados de media y la humedad estuvo por debajo de los 45% en todo momento.
Poco más la verdad estuve encantado de poder cultivar una genética tan potente .
Un saludazo que paséis un final de año increíble y por supuesto buenos humazooos💨💨💨.

Time’s up and harvest must happen in a couple of days due to traveling. The plant on the left could’ve used a little longer, it was just starting to show its own personality. The plant on the right looks like it has plateaued more in size but still has several white pistils.
These are auto seeds for Punto Rojo and Punto Morado. The issue is that I got two seeds of each, these four seeds got mixed up, and then I lost two of them. So now I can’t tell if these are two Punto Rojo, two Punto Morado, or one of each.
I now have more of the same seeds, this time well labeled. So my next grow -whenever that is- hopefully helps answer what it is that I have here.
Smell is great, one of them smells like a ripe tropical melon (left), the other one citrus fruit and pine (right).
My second grow ever. Many mistakes. Still stoked for pulling this off in this neck of the woods.

Morning of day 14- tops look dry but it’s just the very surface. They took a little longer than I wanted to dry out.
The weather has been cold windy and rainy, not much sun lately, and we are still about a month away from our potential last frost date. Farmer’s Almanac says last frost date is May 30th or something crazy, even though the days are normally rather warm by now. I haven’t fed as of Day 14 because they are not dry enough, there is plenty of amendments in the pot, especially towards the bottom, except I will still spoon feed a little bit. I just rehydrated the tops as they were really dry at least 1-2 inches of the tops were dry, but the bottoms are still plenty wet, so with clean water in a spray bottle, I just lightly rehydrated the top a lil, so I might be feeding tomorrow for day 15, but I don’t know yet. Keeping the tent around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and only about 25-30% RH. This helps me compensate for the lack of heat provided by the LEDs and help the plants adapt to a higher water demand. I haven’t seen the low humidity effect the seedlings, intact all the plants that grow outside in the hot bone dry climate LOVE IT! They were praising all last year. So to help keep me away from damping issues and to better prepare the little ones for the outdoors, I’m trying to match a hot and dry environment in the tent. With VPD levels way up in the red, I have yet to experience a negative impact. I have damped off enough plants in my life, it’s a lot harder for me in 60-70%RH to water the plants and get them to dry out fast enough in the tent with cold LEDs.

Sep 21: fall is here and Cheese is looking great with nice fat buds and great purple colouring. Couple or three more weeks ideally, but it will likely be forced by weather.
Sep 24: snow in forecast for late next week so it will be time to harvest soon. Likely four more days of good weather and they’ll it will be time.
