So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Day 23 – Morning Calm Before the Sunny Surge A calm and promising start to Day 23. This morning, the air temperature was 15°C, and although the sun hadn’t yet reached the plant, the forecast points to a bright, warm day ahead – ideal for further outdoor strengthening. To prepare the plant for a full day in the sun, I provided a fresh watering of 1.3L of clean, pH-balanced tap water. The substrate was moderately dry, and the timing felt just right to keep the root zone hydrated before peak sun hours arrive. Observations: The plant’s structure continues to impress – strong, upright growth with a confident posture. Leaf spread is wide and balanced, indicating steady internal energy and photosynthetic activity. The main stem is visibly thickening, showing natural resilience developing from daily exposure. I’ve chosen a slightly shaded spot to begin the day, allowing the plant to ease into the rising sunlight gradually, preventing thermal shock during the early stages. The full sun will arrive soon, and with it – another valuable training session under the UK sky. Step by step, the outdoor rhythm becomes natural, and this CBD Auto 20:1 continues to adapt with grace and strength. Day 24 – Thriving Under the Heat, Watered with Caution Today brought another burst of sunshine to this outdoor journey – and with it, a true test of endurance for my CBD Auto 20:1. The air temperature in direct sun rose to 40°C, pushing the plant’s limits under intense midday exposure. Despite the scorching heat, she stood tall and open, absorbing every photon with strength and grace. The leaves showed no wilting or curling, which confirms that she’s adapting well to her natural surroundings. Watering: Due to time constraints in the morning, I had no choice but to water the plant in the late afternoon, using 1.3L of clean, pH-balanced tap water. Yes – many would argue that early morning watering is ideal, but sometimes reality calls for flexibility. The substrate had cooled slightly by then, and I made sure to pour gently and evenly, avoiding any root shock from hot soil contact. Observations: Leaf colour is rich and uniform – she’s clearly photosynthesising efficiently. The top growth is vibrant and symmetrical, showing strong apical development. Stem thickness is improving, and overall plant posture feels balanced and alert. Every day is a lesson – and this one reminded me that outdoor growing is about adapting to both climate and life’s rhythms. The journey continues, and so does the strength of “Sators”. Day 26 – Dancing with the Wind, Waiting for the Right Time Today’s weather offered a different kind of challenge – a damp, chilly start with stronger gusts of wind rolling in from early morning. A light rainfall made an appearance too, and although not severe, I chose caution and brought the plant indoors to avoid unnecessary stress, especially with soil moisture still carefully balanced. Later in the day, conditions improved, and the CBD Auto 20:1 is back outdoors, soaking up the afternoon light once again. Growth update: The structure is becoming more defined, with symmetrical leaf spacing and dense apical growth. Stem integrity continues to improve, especially as the plant sways and flexes with occasional breezes – perfect natural resistance training! Colour and texture remain consistent and healthy – no signs of stress or nutrient imbalance. Still waiting… There’s a strong desire to finally leave the plant outdoors full-time, but timing is everything in organic, outdoor growing. Ideal conditions for permanent outdoor transition would be: Night temperatures consistently above 12°C No risk of heavy rain or strong wind without shelter Stable daytime highs between 18–28°C, with gentle sun exposure in the early hours We’re close – but a few more days of caution now can secure weeks of uninterrupted growth later on. This journey is as much about patience as it is about light and water.

I made so many mistakes during this run I can't even believe we made it to this point. The flowers aren't great but they're aight considering. I tested some run off and ppm was 3000+. I was consistently hearing the condensate pumps go off which made me think I was getting run off not realizing it was from the dehumidifier. The pics were taken on Thursday and after 2 days of flushing they look better and have swelled up a little bit. I sprayed dr zymes for the thrips 3 days in a row to try and knock them out. I know spraying in flower is never great but the zymes evaporates and really had no noticeable negative effects on the buds (pistil burning or residue) and I havnt seen a thrip or any damage in a few days. I also got the full line of Marrone bio grandevo, venerate and regalia which ill incorporate into a weekly ipm starting next run. I'm gunna wash the buds at the end. Hopefully all the dumb shit I do this run I can learn from and improve. Day 49 I've dropped the base nutrients and have them on 8 grams per gal of full tilt with some aptus additives and enzymes. The multi strain makes it tricky as a few really need 70-80 days but at this point I just want to wrap it up asap. I'll hand feed the 3 or 4 plants that still need the base probly.

Well! I'm hella nervous about using ripen! but wth! science baby!!! The buds are pretty great, the trichomes aren't ready yet but there are 1 or two ambers. Very curious to see what this ripen does to things! If anything! ______________________________________________________________________________ Week is almost over! The ripen has been helpful, I don't think the buds have swelled DRAMATICALLY more, but the fade is Very nice! The buds are pretty much ready, I think in 2 or 3 more days it will be just about time. I would possibly let the lower buds develop longer but I have got to get my Veg babies moved over ASAP! Right now I think the tent is just taking a victory lap an there isn't much to do but put the baby to bed!!!!!! YAY!!!! _______________________________________________________________________________ I'm pretty damn pleased with things! I'm gonna chop em! If i had more time I'd let em go a bit longer, but they are ready enough to send out the door!!! I'm glad i added the Ripen! I think it did a decent job and it gave me a cheap week of waterings! The final runoff PH was 6.6 so i'm glad to see it never spiked crazy high! Gonna let them soak a bit more and in 2 days take em down! Its gonna be a project!!!!

Hey everyone 😃. This week she has done great 👍. It was done again on all the drifted topping and sprayed one last time with neem oil so that the last trips are finally gone 😁. We haven't had any pests for so many years and all of a sudden we have such little shit parts 😅. This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l of water. GHSC enhancer was added during a pouring (1 g per l) The tent was cleaned every day this week and the plants were checked for health. The humidifier is filled once a day. Next week I will decide how I will continue the training because I have space again in the flower tent 😀. Until then, I wish you and your families a good start into the new year 2021 🙏🏻.

I'm sorry I broke one of the main branches at the beginning. Otherwise it grew nicely, it just flowed quite late into the flower 😉

Overall a great growing experience with FastBuds Gorilla Glue Auto from start to finish. She went 65 days and hit 27". Lots of big beefy colas. She always took to changes in nutes/environment well. End result is a bunch of smelly, sticky goodness. 380.8g wet weight. I'll update more once she's had a chance to dry... check back soon for dry weight and smoke report. Harvest Update: Ended up losing a lot more during my dry time than expected. Just barely hit two ounces of bud and about 17g of trim and popcorn. My wet weight did include a lot of stem whereas my dry weight reflects trimmed bag ready bud. But still... that's a huge difference! Still very happy with the results! The buds smell amazing, hints of pine and citrus in the smoke. Gonna let her cure up a bit and we'll be off to the races. I will definitely be popping another one of these off in the near future.

🏼Entschuldigung für die Verspätung aber ich war über Neujahr krank geworden und habe eine dicke mittelohrentzündung, war bis gestern Abend alles nicht so geil, naja heute geht’s wieder Berg auf! Und habe viel recherchiert und bin zu diesem Entschluss gekommen. ich habe leider jetzt zum Schluss bemerkt das der ph-Wert der Erde zu niedrig ist🤦🏻‍♂️ ich habe früher mit NDL und Bio Erde angebaut bis vor kurzem sogar noch. Naja aus Fehlern lernt man 😅 ich werde ab sofort dem drain mehr Beachtung schenken 😅 ich musste mich dementsprechend auch von der Strawberry Cola sherbert verabschieden… weil es bei ihr zu kalt war und sogar der ph wert hat ihr den Rest gegeben, ich habe die Pflanze geerntet. die Pflanze wird nicht viel her geben vielleicht maximal 10 - 15g aber da sind richtig viele terpene dran ich werde versuchen mir das als skuff raus zu holen :). Ja die eine Raimbow #1 (links) gleiches Problem aber dadurch das die einen 20L Topf drin ist verkraftet die Pflanzen es besser als die SBC. Nur bei RBM#3 ist es etwas komisch. Die reagiert richtig gut auf die Düngung und dem Super vit :) Aber nun trotzdem finde ich die Farben vom Gesamtbild sehr schön und interessant:) Ich habe aus diesen Grow viel gelernt und werde weiterhin diese Seeds bei SWeetseeds bestellen 🍀 Nächster Grow steht schon in den Start Löchern Edit: Ich fand das die alten Fotos nicht so liebevoll waren, deswegen hab ich mir beim Gießen etwas länger Zeit gelassen und habe mal ein paar schönes Fotos zum nachholen gemacht. und ein schönes Video noch dazu aufgenommen. Edit2: Die dritte Pflanze MRB bauscht in 6W noch etwas auf wie man auf den Fotos etwas erkennen kann. Ab Woche 7 - 8 werden wir die ersten Trichome fotografieren.

Week 3. Photos from the end of week 2 to the end of week 3. You can see the size difference in the girls they are doing great! Still having Plagron nutrients. Decided to change the light to a 600w HPS 4 days ago. Some of the girls are showing some signs of heat stress but rectified it and they will bounce back in a few weeks. Going to get the scrog net sorted before next week and get them growing into it. Here's hoping lol! Happy growing.

The Rosso Corsa is devoloping good. She's the biggest among the strains so far 😎 she has a little burn on 1 of her leafs deu to me no being carefull.

Herrrrro gang! Welcome to another week of Daank's grow! 8/2: Brought back the Great White. I was reading that it works well in conjunction with other root excelurators, like Rapid Start. I got 2 more temp/humidity sensors for the tent. It allows me to keep track of 100% of what is really going on, I find it to take away worry (b/c temps are very important!). Today was a "eureka!" moment in terms of understanding run-off pH and it's value to telling the grower how healthy the plant is and what nutes may, or may not, be needed. I also got some new LED glasses so I don't burn my fucking corneas when tending to the garden - they are phenomenal and I suggest them if you grow with an LED. Check the videos and photos. Pistils are growing rapidly and baby budlets are starting to form. I'm actually getting a nice subtle purple color - it's very neat. Today's run-off pH was 6.3, and I gave it 6.3 for water - so that's a good sign (I bounce the pH all around from 5.5-6.3). I'll keep track of this moving forward in the diary. Minor defoliation. ***Pro-Tip: If you're wondering what the run-off should be... around +.5/-.5 of what you put in is good. But this also might not mean anything... so many different opinions on the web. ****: My Spotify Playlist for my plants: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ydAFulbzDlqFr5WIZdfM1?si=r5M5H83BSQ6tOE5pk9Bg4Q Day 38 - 8/4: Lil'budlet's are poppin' up all over. By the end of this week I assume we'll be in full swing. Day 39: I have ordered new nutes, Advanced Nutrients. The reviews, photos, and research all point to using this for the best results. I found them to be a bit expensive, but if I can always get perfect pH values without much of a hassle... I'm down. They will be here by end of the week and I'll transition that over this weekend. I can't wait. Day 40: 8/6 - Advanced Nutrient nutes arrive today. Watering will be a pleasure. The plants look great. The buds are real. Small smell. Trimmed last night quite a bit for bud production. They love George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". It perks 'em up.

Fresh sweet and herbal smell. I love it! Great amount of trichomes. Everything smooth.

Hello friends, this week is interesting, busy and even enthusiastic. I put compost tea for all of them, wish you happy days🤗

This is the week I started to see my plans coming together

Running smoothly so far... Still only watering lighting, approx 200ml every 3 days or so. Using the BioBizz nutes.. The fish mix stinks!

Starting strong, need to and alternative way of watering as I was using a jug and some of the soil sunk which made the stem bend down a little. This was quickly corrected A few changes on 27th I removed the oil heater that was really to big for the size of the tent. By doing this alone I could bring the light closer which is the reason for the slow growth. I also bought a humidifier as I was manually spraying the tent and now I can keep the levels up all the time I could now either use a smaller fan heater in or outside blowing through intake vents (without drying the plant up now I have the humidifier) or…… I could put the oil heater on outside the heat and insulate it

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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-10-09. Week 7 starts now and when Mephisto say "Frost level - Extra Ridiculous" im starting to believe it. This frosty and compact girl is 30 cm tall and i believe she is going to produce some fire buds. What do you think? Added new video and pics.

Started Week 9 Day 57 Very proud of being a Canna Grower Very proud of planting the first seeds Now look what we have after almost 60 days, full of buds, crystal en resin coming deep in each flower! Day 58 Time to feed them nutes Going hard 1900ppm This is my top and then going down Then flushing so they get what they need and clean the extra for last 2 weeks Day 59 Not bad after all, no nutrient burnt All leaves looking good All plants doing great And getting closer to the harvest season! Day 60 Probably gonna give them some tap water 143 ppm TDS reads Ph 6 sounds good to me! More pictures coming up soon... Day 61.62.63 She's doing great didn't have the time to go crazy on pics lately so I owe you that guys Sorry but for next week will have tons Quick update They're doing good but it was hot lately like 28/30 at night and 32 at day inside AC Humidity lvl was 60/70% Was Rainy outside some days Not anymore tho
