Week 8: Flower - Tale of Two Phenotypes & Lessons Learned 🌿💜 Currently bumping: Payroll Giovanni - 580 Benz 🎵💰 The Phenotype Reality Check: Same strain, same environment, same nutrients—COMPLETELY different expressions. This is one of the most fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) parts of growing cannabis. Let's break down what's happening in the tent. Lemon Cherry (Left) - The Speed Runner 🏃‍♀️ She's moving FAST! While her purple sister takes her time, this phenotype is racing toward the finish line. Current Status: Bulking nicely with solid density Getting frosty - trichome production is strong Trichomes almost mature - surprisingly ahead of schedule! Harvest window: ~2 weeks out The Lollipopping Regret: Real talk—I lollipopped her early in flower, and now I'm second-guessing that decision. Looking at her sister with almost double the bud sites, it's clear I may have been too aggressive with the lower growth removal. Lesson Learned: Lollipopping can improve airflow and focus energy on top colas BUT removing too much means losing potential yield With autoflowers especially, sometimes it's better to let them do their thing Every bud site is potential weight—be conservative with removal The Silver Lining: The buds she DOES have are dense and frosty. Quality over quantity? We'll see at harvest! Lemon Cherry (Right) - The Purple Princess Takes Her Time 💜👑 She's SUPER purple and absolutely stunning, but she's on her own schedule—no rush, just vibes. Current Status: Progressing at a great rate (just not as fast as her sister) Color expression is PEAK - the purple is deep and vibrant Way more bud sites than Left (thanks to minimal pruning) Harvest window: Likely 3-4 weeks out The Phenotype Difference: This is a textbook example of phenotype variation: Left pheno: Fast-finishing, green, fewer but denser colas Right pheno: Slower maturation, purple expression, more bud sites Same genetics, different expressions. It's like siblings—same parents, totally different personalities. Bag Appeal Winner: The purple coloration combined with frost and more bud sites means this girl is going to be STUNNING in the final product. Worth the wait! Apple Fritter - The Dark Green Giant 🍏 She's doing well overall, though showing some signs of nitrogen excess from the organic feeding program. Current Status: Lower leaves super dark green - classic sign of excess nitrogen Not affecting bud development (thankfully!) Progressing well through flower Harvest window: ~2 weeks out (same timeline as Lemon Cherry Left) The Nitrogen Situation: Dark green, almost waxy-looking lower leaves indicate she got a bit heavy on the N during feedings. Why it's (mostly) okay: It's NOT causing nutrient lockout or deficiencies Buds are still developing normally Just a cosmetic issue at this point Common with organic amendments that release nitrogen over time What I'd do differently: Lighter on the Gaia All Purpose early flower, heavier on the bloom-specific amendments. Live and learn! Key Observations & Growing Wisdom Phenotype variation is REAL and unpredictable: Even from the same seed pack, you can get wildly different plants. This is why breeders hunt through hundreds of seeds to find "the one." Both Lemon Cherry phenotypes are good—just different. Lollipopping: Less can be more (sometimes): Seeing the bud site difference between the two Lemon Cherries is a powerful reminder that aggressive pruning isn't always the answer, especially with autoflowers. They have a limited vegetative phase—every growth site matters. Nitrogen in flower: Easy to overdo with organics: Organic amendments like Gaia All Purpose can release nitrogen longer than expected. During flower, less is more. Focus on P and K, dial back the N. Different finish times = staggered harvests: Having plants ready 2-4 weeks apart actually works out well: Manageable trimming workload (not all at once) Continuous supply of fresh flower More time to dial in drying/curing process Speed ≠ Quality: Lemon Cherry Left finishing faster doesn't make her better. Lemon Cherry Right taking her time might result in bigger yield and better bag appeal. Patience pays. The Growing Lesson Summary Phenotype hunting is real - expect variation even within the same strain Conservative pruning - especially with autos, let them keep bud sites Watch nitrogen in flower - dark green leaves mean dial it back Each plant teaches you something - these "mistakes" are actually valuable data Next Week's Plan Lemon Cherry Left & Apple Fritter (2 weeks out): Start monitoring trichomes closely Begin thinking about flush timing (if flushing) Watch for final swell and fade Prep trimming/drying station Lemon Cherry Right (3-4 weeks out): Continue current feeding program Let her take her time—she'll finish when she's ready Enjoy watching that purple get deeper More time = more weight and resin Post-Harvest Planning: Two harvests coming soon (Left + Apple Fritter) One more to follow (Right) Drying space ready Cure jars prepped Already thinking about the NEXT grow 🌱 Payroll Giovanni voice: "Different phenos, same hustle, purple flowers and that muscle..." 🎵💸 Week 8 wisdom: Every mistake is a lesson. Every difference is data. Every plant is a teacher. Keep the music playing and the garden growing! 📚🌿 Same strain, different personalities. That's the beauty (and chaos) of growing cannabis. Roll with it and learn! 💚✨

In week 5 of flower and decided to start documenting my indoor 2x4 grow setup. We currently just finished day 3 of week 5. I have my lights running from 9:15PM - 8:45AM. I am not sure how I messed up on my timer but that's been my schedule since flipping to flower. I have an A/C in my bedroom that I duct into the tent. I have my A/C set at 62F and the tent gets to around 71-75F with the lights on. Lights off it ranges from 68-70F. I have a small dehumidifier in the tent that needs to be replaced because it is not efficient. I have an intake fan running at full blast at all times and my exhaust fan is automated to turn on based on temp and humidity. Week 5 has brought on a lot of strong dank smells and a whole lot of weight to the buds. They are really starting to thicken up! I have not had too many issues with this grow so far and luckily, the tent in clean and bug-free. Lots of resin and terpene production going on and you can smell and see it increase daily! I am following General Hydroponics Flora Series 6-Part grow chart. I am currently following the medium strength chart. I'll measure everything out exactly as the chart suggest then dilute my mix until I get to my desired PPM of 1000-1200. I PH around 6.2-5.8 and then add my microbes. I changed up my watering technique mid grow due to an issue I dealt with and now watering 2x a day. Lights on and right before lights off. If my lights didn't run overnight, I would like to add in a 3rd watering in the middle of my light cycle but 2 a day is working for now. I water until there is a good amount of runoff. I measure the PPM of my runoff compared to the PPM of my inflow mix and will keep watering until the runoff is 300PPM or less over my input. So if my mix is 1000 PPM and my runoff is 1600PPM, I will go back and water or as I like to think about it, rinse off the coco until my runoff PPM is at 1300-1000. It is a little tedious but it's a habit I formed and it does not take much longer to ensure your PPMs in the root zone is perfectly where I want it. I defoliated right before flipping to flower. Then defoliated 2 weeks later, and then a minor defoliation on week 4 of big fan leaves. I most likely won't be taking off any more leaves for the rest of the grow unless they are really blocking the light. I am planning on harvesting in week 8 or 9, depending on when the plant is showing it is ready. For General Hydroponics line, it has been the same nutrient strength/mix from week 3-5. Next week, Week 6, we start lowering the strength and adjust the amounts as we get into the later stages of flower and eventually will be flushing. For my flush, I will be using GH Florakleen, GH ripen, Mammoth P, and Bio-Fizz. Excited to see how these girls turn out! I'll be adding my outdoor grow as well as a new veg tent that I setup yesterday in my room. Stay tuned!

9/22 Day 22 by chance :) Feed all the same Kangaroots 10ml/g Bio-Grow 5ml/g just took extra care with Jen's PH of 6.52 and she got about twice the liquid as the rest to really soak that pot. Retouched training light set to 20" seems a bit much at 18" 9/23 Seems to be improvement in Jen. See what happens when the pot drys from the root drench. The other three are just gorgeous. 9/28 Week four ends and the girls looking fine. Jen much improved and growing better all others stable and building.Feed yesterday of Bloom/Cal-Mag/Grow really seemed to lock things down. Good thing as they haven't had the attention this week with us trying to save all our outdoor fruit. Corrected nuet list Bio-Bloom was not on it.

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil to be spread evenly on top of the soil. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 91°F. Skies were clear but it was super humid. I defolated some more today. I watered 3-4 gallons from the hose. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 94° with partly cloudy to clear skies. It was super hot and humid. I watered 3-4 gallons from the well. I'm defoliating a few leaves here and there and opening these girls up. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 94 with average humidity of 94. Skies were cloudy and we had thunderstorms that produced high winds and heavy rainfall. Several of my 7 gallon pots that hadn't rooted into the ground were blown over. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 83°F. It was super humid today and we had a very heavy fog this morning. I watered about 3.5-4 gallons from the well. Day 5 we had cooler weather today with a high temperature of 78°F. Skies were partly cloudy and I watered about 3 gallons from the hose. Day 6 we had cooler weather today with a high temperature of 79°F. Skies were mostly sunny and I watered about 3 gallons from the hose. I treated with Arber bio fungicide Day 7 we had a high temperature of 79° with mostly cloudy skies. The nights have been dripping below 69°F, creating an ideal environment for powdery mildew. I treated with Arber biofungicide. Lady bugs were released and are having an aphid feast. Overall this week was a success. The plants have stretched, but aren't finished. One of the plants topping at 8' 5". That height is measure from the top of the soil to the top of the plant. We have had very heavy dews, fog, rain, mist, and very high humidity the last few weeks. This week was very hard on the plants the cool nights really exasperated these girls issues with powdery mildew.

This girl is zooming along she looking gourgous looks like some purple is coming in getting super frosty colas stacking nicely trichomes coverage getting thick thick lights at 100 percent doing a 2 day 24 hr cycle then 8 hrs off doing 6.2 pH round 2000 ppm it's a little high shes rocking it out the under canopy is really helping nice thick stalk and nice thick feeder roots she should finish up in about 3 or 4 weeks my autos in 5 gallons usually take about as long as a photo but come out fantastic been stretching branches out to stress her a little bit only have to defoliate a little at time looks she gonna need another round I've noticed the difference in adding the plagron I now add green sensation to every watering which I give her a gallon every other day and she sucks it up still giving her recharge and bloom city one every other week then she gets a carboload after to feed them microbes and give her more glucose for them colas upped the calmag a little bit cause I noticed that there usually a deficiency during late flowering may give a good flush just to make sure the salts aren't building up I like to do that every 4 weeks really helps so here's to another week of growing lfg

can't wait to start again :)

6/4/21 11 inches 6/6/21 13 inches 6/7/21 14.5 inches 6/8/21 16 inches 6/9/21 16.5 inches 6/10/21 17.5 inches Just watching the growth I still want to have space just in case it grows more I don't want it touching the light. Other than that everything is going good. 😁

10 Woche, BW 4. Die Omakase is gut gewachsen und es wird etwas eng für die gute, naja da muss sie sich jetz mit abfinden 😅. Ansonsten is soweit alles gut, im Zelt riecht es extrem süß aber kann nicht richtig ausmachen welche der Pflanzen hier dominiert, naja Daumen drücken das die kleine schön an Masse zugelegt und leckere Buds produziert. BW4 Tag 5, Foto 5 und Video, Omakase vorne rechts. Wünsche euch allen eine schöne Woche und bleibt gesund 🙏, bis nächste Woche dann.

Moved them both back indoors into the tiny tent under the Viparspectras..set timer to go 12/12.. I really need these bitches to flower...seems a lot like they were mislabeled... Finally....2 months in and pistils are popping after a few days of 12/12.... #notautosafterall 👉 Check out these new XS1000 lights on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3ttb2j9 👉 Get 10% OFF using this coupon code: lt10gdvip

Done the job son

Week 7

I would reccomend growing her in soil the coco made her a bit too wild

Ok so had a bit of a bad week ph was way out causing problems at 6.4 so had to flush and get ph back to 5.8 also had big problems with high humidity like 80 90 % even when lights are off so I've decided I've upgraded to a 2.0 x 2.4 x 1.2 so hoping the more space and also upgrading to the black orchid 6 inch fan n filter along with the 4 inch fan and carbon filters plus clip on fans but big things to come I've also purchased a 4 pot auto pot system for the next grow so keep eye out guys

Ok so this week, I'm a little concerned at the height and structure. We all know the typical Christmas 🎄 tree shape. Well, I have an inverted, or upside down Christmas tree shape. I'm going to need to stake the base, as its very top heavy, and I'm concerned that it will topple and snap the stalk. Also, I cannot LST the plant as necessary due to the top heavy nature, as well as the extremely thick main stem which will easily snap if I were to train her. The plant is also suffering from light stress. The leaves are folding up, and down. The leaves haven't darkened up either but this may just be the strain. I have lowered the intensity of the lighting a few times, but due to being un-trainable, the plant will keep growing into the light. I'm having a headache trying to figure out what to do with her, so if you have any ideas please let me know in the comments! Anyway here's what I did this week. 14.7.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients; 💜 2ml Ecothrive Trace 💜 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.4 PPM: 365 15.7.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with; 💜 1/2 TSP Mega Crop Part B 💜 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 746 18.7.25: I top dressed with the following organic dry amendments; As a base for the dry amendments I used: 🧡 Worm Castings - 2 Cups 🧡 Coco - 2 Cups 🧡 Perlite - 1 Cup Dry Amendments: 💚 Ecothrive Life Cycle 1TBS 💚 Ecothrive Bloom 1 TBS 💚 Ecothrive Charge 1TBS 💚 Diatomaceous Earth 1TBS I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with 2ml Ecothrive Trace. PH:6.4 PPM: 340. Thanks for stopping by this week and if you have any ideas let me know in the comments section below 💚😊🍃✌️🌱🙏

Day 12 pushing hard like the last 4 grows. I’m very impressed so far. Maybe a little calcium that’s about it
