🌿 **Moby Dick Auto Grow Week 9 Update: Harvest Time Approaches!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exhilarating update on the progress of our Moby Dick Auto adventure as we hit Week 9 of the grow cycle. With excitement mounting and buds maturing, let's delve into the latest developments: 🌟 **Abundant Bud Growth**: At Week 9, our Moby Dick Auto marvels are truly showcasing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production reaching its peak. The once-tiny flowers have evolved into dense, resinous clusters, promising a generous harvest in the near future. Trichomes are abundant, signaling optimal cannabinoid potency and aromatic richness. 📏 **Final Phase of Flowering**: As we enter the final phase of the flowering period, our focus is on maximizing bud development while ensuring ideal ripening conditions. By meticulously managing environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we're creating the perfect environment for our plants to flourish and achieve their utmost potential. 🍃 **Leaf Aging and Nutrient Management**: As anticipated in the late flowering stage, some leaves may exhibit signs of aging as the plant redirects its energy towards bud formation. This natural progression indicates that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient regimen remains carefully calibrated, providing essential elements to support vigorous flowering without risking imbalances or deficiencies. 🔍 **Monitoring Trichome Ripeness**: With harvest drawing near, we're closely monitoring trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using magnification tools like jeweler's loupes or digital microscopes, we're scrutinizing trichomes for signs of ripeness, aiming for a blend of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of cannabinoids, as well as flavor and aroma complexity. 🌞 **Preparation for Harvest**: As we gear up for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering essential tools such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a hygienic and organized workspace to preserve the integrity of our precious buds. We'll employ proper post-harvest techniques and curing methods to safeguard terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In summary, Week 9 signifies a pivotal juncture in our Moby Dick Auto grow expedition, where patience and precision converge in anticipation of the impending harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the forthcoming update as we rejoice in the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation, yielding a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready for enjoyment and sharing. Happy growing! 🌿✨

Make sure to check out the videos! Not much growin on this week just watering and letting them grow. No smell yet Increasing light to 80% Nutrients in previous week and next week Sunday morning video 10/6

Whats up GD !!! ------------- GROWTH------------- Topped both plants, the bigger one, it is 3 days younger than the other, and seems to have faster development, more vigorous.. I think the reasons could be the pheno or the level of root development, i ll explain it : C#1 was in a yogurth as seen on photos and having all the sun. C#2 was in a wider recipient, lower in height, and in a room with poor light. I watered both plants at the same time, C#2 got curvy leaves when watered, i think maybe she likes near dry soil, or cant handle that level of humidity in the roots ... in my opinion she has less developed roots and the pot hadnt enought holes to let the air come in, the oposite of C#1, that seems to handle better humidity and is eating all she can, getting fluorescent green below sunlight. Both plants have same feeding and soil composition. ------------- IRRIGATION------------- Watered both ladies, around 0.2-0.3l each one with Deeper Underground. ------------- NUTRIENTS------------- Tall cheese C#1 : Deeper underground 1ml/l Short cheese C#2 : Deeper underground 1ml/l + Micro Vita (it only had Canna Pro soil ) --------------------------------------- Good vibes !! _12/04/2018_

Just look at it. All deformed and shit. Already has a fat stem on it.. maybe the nutes should be toned down? God knows. 4/2. It's like it's growing sooooo many leaves... plain water at end of week. Contemplating defoliating it...

pictures are taken last day of the 7th week since getting the seed if i didn't use lst, it would be 27+30 cm high (measured the horizontal main stem) i added molasses this time, for taste, instead of other booster besides the pk solution also i threw in some chicken fertilizer pellets in to add some organic power to the soil i like the taste of mineral, but my heart is with bio, so i use both somehow the flower is looking like it's wanting to finsh already. very nice experiment, instead of 18-20 or 24 hours of light for autoflower, i dd 12/12 from seed, guessing that the 7 proposed flowering time would be for the 18 minimum hours of light. I think it will be ready within that time, let's wait for that moment, whatever comes out is nice, her bud is starting to make me stare already...

4/27 1 PM thank you Fast Buds!!! We have Gelato Auto we got our special Mendo Frost Auto for our mystery box today. It’s very exciting and a Frost Banger Auto F4!! greatest day of my life!! I just love everything about them😍🌿🌿🌿🌿 4/28 1:54PM massive painful thing on back of neck infected with i would f....ing die alaready!!! i cant move much, very painful 4/29 2:45AM Not moving well. EC 1.7 today not much runoff, maybe bottom feed but i dont want to burn the plants BUT I cant move so another trade off 4/29 9:18AM NEW GROW THEME ....RACE WAR GROW..SPONSORED BY THE SPLC!!!!I GOT A REVA 3RD SISTER ACTION FIGURE, SHE GOES FULL DARK SIDE AND MARRIES JAR JAR WHO IS SECRTLY THE HEAD OF THE EMPIRE KLU KLUX KLAN....SO REVA MARRIES INTO THE KLAN...AND THE WEDDING IS SPONSORED BY.......THE SPLC!!!! ITS PERFECT. OMG...AND WE CAN DO A MONTEL GROW AND HE CAN DO A SHOW NEXT ON MONTEL, REVA, WHAT WENT WRONG?? 5/1 5AM **Hell yeah, that’s the kind of late-night (or early-morning) epiphany we love.** Dr Pepper + peanut butter cookies sounds like a wild, sweet-salty, cherry-cola spiced twist. The 🌿😂 makes total sense—some of the best flavor combos hit when you’re relaxed and creative. ### How to actually make Dr Pepper flavor work in cookies Dr Pepper’s profile (cherry, vanilla, warm spices, cola bite) needs concentration so it doesn’t just evaporate or make the dough too wet. Here are practical ways: 1. **Reduction/Syrup** (best for strong flavor) Simmer 2 cups Dr Pepper in a saucepan over medium heat until it reduces by half (about 1 cup). It’ll get syrupy and concentrated. Let it cool. Use ¼–⅓ cup in your peanut butter cookie dough in place of some sugar or liquid. This gives real Dr Pepper taste without watering it down. 2. **Simple cake-mix hack** (super easy starter) Mix a chocolate or vanilla cake mix with 6–8 oz Dr Pepper + peanut butter. People make 2-ingredient Dr Pepper cookies this way—add ½ cup creamy peanut butter to the batter for your twist. Fold in chopped peanuts or a swirl of extra PB. 3. **From-scratch peanut butter cookie base + Dr Pepper** Start with a classic PB cookie (butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, flour, baking soda/soda, vanilla, salt). - Replace some brown sugar with the Dr Pepper reduction. - Add 1–2 tsp vanilla + a pinch of cinnamon or allspice to echo the soda’s spices. - Optional: a few drops of cherry or almond extract to amp the Dr Pepper notes. ### Quick test recipe idea (Dr Pepper PB Cookies) - ½ cup butter, softened - ½ cup creamy peanut butter - ½ cup brown sugar + ¼ cup Dr Pepper reduction (from above) - 1 egg - 1 tsp vanilla - 1¼ cups flour - ½ tsp baking soda - Pinch salt + optional cinnamon Cream butter + PB + sugars/reduction. Add egg + vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Chill dough 30 min. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 min. They’ll spread a bit and get chewy with that cola kick. **Pro tips**: - Reduction is key—plain Dr Pepper in dough usually bakes off too much. - If you want stronger flavor, look for Dr Pepper extract/flavoring online (some baking sites sell “Dr Soda” type). - Top with a light glaze: powdered sugar + a splash of Dr Pepper reduction. Go make a small test batch with what you have. Report back how it turns out—I’m genuinely curious if the cherry-cola + peanut butter hits as good as it sounds in your head. What’s the vibe you’re going for—chewy, crunchy, or fudgy? Got any other flavors you wanna mash in? Let’s refine this masterpiece. 🌿🍪 5/1 7AM 1.5EC 6.0 pH 2 liters each Maxi Bloom powder only. 5/6 5 AM AC 1.078 pH 6 light runoff today 5/17 12:45AM having trouble setting my theme music for dramatic entrances in EVERY room, EVERY SINGLE TIME.....

Day 8/3. (8 for Jack and 3 for Lemon) - HELP! Jack started having problems. Someone tell me why this is happening? After the transplant, I poured 100 ml of water. 100 ppm, pH 5.6. Added Root stim, 1 drop per liter. Tonight watered light solution (GHE): micro- 0.5 ml/l, gro- 0.5 ml/l, bloom- 0.5 ml/l, diamond nectar 0.5 ml/l. 380 ppm, pH 5.8. Volume- 200 ml. Watering divide twice. Morning and afternoon. Added to coco perlite. Proportion 1/4. - Lemon is fine. I didn't do anything with lemon Day 9/4. - Jack feels better. The problem has stopped and growth continues. I think this problem was due to overflow. - For Lemon prepared his first solution (BioBizz): gro- 0.5 ml/l, bloom- 0.5 ml/l, diamond nectar(ghe)- 0.5 ml/l, microbiological fertilizer- 1 ml/l. 330 ppm, pH 5.8. Volume- 100 ml. - Both plants are sprayed with a solution of BioBizz. Day 10/5. - Jack is fine. Did not do anything - Lemon is fine. Did not do anything - Both plants are sprayed with a solution of BioBizz. Day 11/6. - Jack Solution: micro- 0,8 ml/l, gro- 0.8 ml/l, bloom- 0.8 ml/l, diamond nectar- 0.8 ml/l. 550 ppm, pH 5.8. Vol- 200 ml. Watering divide twice. Morning and afternoon. - Lemon solution: as in the last watering. - Both plants are sprayed with a solution of BioBizz. I start to remove cups from them so that they get used to low humidity.

All fine, stretch nearly done, DLI was increased to 30, fertilizer changed mid week.

Put the girls in a new tent. It’s 5x5 with a 1k hort and xxl air cooled hood. The are getting their lean on, had a few branch casualties but every is looking good, started to flush the plant with Ph’d water and 1g maxibloom per 1 gallon.

Hello again, GrowDiaries family! 😎 We’ve reached Week 14 and we are officially on the home stretch. This week, the Critical hasn't received a single drop of fertilizer; we have switched to exclusive water irrigation to flush the substrate and guarantee maximum purity in flavor and aroma. 📏 Measurements & Training -Height: Stable at 40 cm. The plant is no longer spending energy on growth, only on maturing resin. -Canopy Management: Previous defoliation and LST have allowed us to get here with an impeccable structure. The buds are heavy, dense, and fully exposed to the light. -Visual Check: The color change in the leaves is radical. This yellowing is exactly what we look for during the flush: a plant clean of salts. Trichomes are at their peak of milky opacity. 🌡️ Environment & Climate Challenges -Temperature: Maintaining 16°C at night and 27°C during the day. The cold is helping the plant finish its cycle naturally. -The Strategy: I’m still watering with lukewarm water. Since there are no nutrients, the warm water helps to dissolve the salt buildup in the roots more efficiently. -Humidity (RH): Strict control at 40%. In this "cleaning" phase, low humidity is non-negotiable to protect the harvest. 💧 Watering & Flushing Strategy -Water Only: We have completely removed the Biobizz schedule. Watering after watering, the plant gets lighter in color, which will translate into white ash and smooth smoke. -Substrate: Thanks to the cinnamon, the substrate has reached the end free of any pests. A total success in organic control. 🌿 Flower & Resin Evolution -She’s armored in crystals! ❄️ The calyxes are swollen and the pistils are almost completely withered. The smell is incredibly sweet and thick. Harvest is imminent! A huge thank you to all the growers who are following this diary and for all your support and comments! It's a pleasure to share this journey with such a great community. Happy growing to everyone! 😉👍

The one washing machine is really taking on a sativa look🤔 otherwise girls are looking happy and thriving imo

It is officially time to admit they are women now !.... Seeing all the little white pistils and the "starfish" look to the tops shows hope. They have been spreading out nicely This week with even the Ghost OG gaining more vertical and lateral growth. There are easily defined differences already between these 3 ladies and having the variety to train together is always a challenge. I am hoping the Ghost can fill put in the next bit of stretch to get her canopy level with the others. The wedding cake is Thickening and growing daily so well now. She shows no signs of slowing yet either so I think she will dominate this NGT tray if not kept under manners !!. GG#4 is setting herself up nicely for some fruit bearing and I look at her skinny arms and wonder how thehell this strain can hold such dense buds without a total collapse but know from experience they can too. With these ladies being the last to officially become women , we are now in a full flowering room. Roll on harvest time in a out 8 weeks for these girlies now. stripping out at day 21 will help fix the final buds.

Started flushing the blackberry on the right and the purple lemonade the other blackberry and gorilla cookies I reckon will start flush next week and the strawberry banana and dawgs will probably be another 2 weeks before flush .. all stink all look good, one dawg has something going on but I'm not to worried, they are the frostiest stickiest buds I've seen tbh,.. roll on next week 👌

Última semana de floración de estas candy caramelo y es que vaya flores son como rocas muy compactas kio, de lo mejor que e visto también en mucho tiempo fumetillas. Plantas pequeñas con un buen porte y un buen grosor de tallo, son bastante rápidas a la hora de florecer, os aseguro que las aguantaba una semana más pero por temas de virus y tal decido cortarlas ya que también están bien bastante contento en verdad con esta varieddd. Mantuve ph hasta el final controlando humedad y temperatura pocas veces desvarío el asunto. Muy muy contento zambeza hizo un fast bastante curiosa con olores dulces .

Got a hold of these beans direct from the UK and couldn't afford to have them sitting. This is a sativa dominant strain that checked all the boxes for my 4/20 smokes UPDATE: 14 days from germination, I posted a video and she's already has side branch action and we have only begun veg as of 12/14/22. Genetics shining on this one and I only feeding water, will introduce some light nutes over the wknd MAYBE
