Ein anmutige, gleichförmige Wuchsform, nicht so ausladend wie die Fruit Bomb Punch, dafür müssen mehr vergilbende Blätter aus der Pflanzenmitte herausgeholt werden. Sie wächst etwas dichter. Einen starken Geruch kann ich bei ihr nicht feststellen, der ist eher bei der Seven Freeze beheimatet. Sie benötigt eine Menge Wasser und Dünger, aber die moderaten Temperaturen in dieser Woche haben den Wasserbedarf um rund ein Drittel verringert. Es scheint aber so zu sein, als ob sie langsam in die Streckungsphase übergeht. Insgesamt eine erholsame Woche, auch für die Blueberry. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch, mit besten Wünschen für eine tolle kommende Grow-Woche!

Harvest Ooooooh ihr glaubt ja gar nicht, wie Geil die Sorte beim Wet Trim gerochen hat. Es hat was von Tangie, dieses Moschusmäßige, schwer aber mit Noten von Schokolade und Weintrauben... Hätte ich nicht gedacht und echt toll geworden. Mache nochmal ein Update, wenn die rdy to dry Trim ist 😄

I'm happy guys, she is doing her thing 👨‍🌾

Welcome to Week 6, Day 42 for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Autoflowering grow. All four of these lovely ladies are now fully into flower and the tent has filled up considerably. Even though this grow cycle is not going to produce the XL plants I was originally hoping for, this strain seems to have a lot of bud sites compared to other autos I have grown previously. Had these plants reached their full potential- I truly believe that this could/would have been a massive harvest. I fertilized them again in Week 6 with their final dose of a Grow based formula at 2 mls/gallon. They will be switched over a Bloom based fertilizer in Week 7 at a rate of 2.5 mls/gallon. I am still watering every 4th day and all four plants are receiving 3 litres each or 0.75 of a litre per plant per day. There is something killing off the foliage from the bottom up on the plant in the front of the tent on the left hand side. Not sure what the problem is so I am simply removing the dead/dying foliage as needed and hoping that she’ll have enough leaves to make it through to harvest. Mom’s Tip for Week #6- When it comes to Fertilizer- $Less$ = More… For me, successfully growing Cannabis indoors means trying to mimic what nature normally provides for free. Sun, fresh air, water and nutrient rich soil are all essential for healthy, happy plants. At some point during the grow (usually 4-6 weeks in) the plant has used up all of the nutrients originally present in the soil thus requiring the grower to have to supplement with some type of fertilizer. I see many growers photographing and showing off their huge displays of colourful bottles and I gasp when I read their long lists of 10-15 different fertilizers and supplements being added to every single batch of water. Not only is this unbelievably expensive and overwhelming but time consuming and completely unnecessary for a successful grow. For those seeking an Organic path there are options such as homemade compost tea or powdered formulas consisting of bat guano, glacial rock dust, bone meal, alfalfa meal, etc. I often use a Canadian made brand called “Gaia Green Organics", mixed in at the start to create my own super soil thus carrying the plants through their first 4-6 weeks of life needing nothing more than PH’d water. The organic fertilizers are usually more expensive and often have a slower uptake by the plants themselves as they tend to feed the soil first which in turn feeds the plants. For novice/newbie growers and those with fast flowering strains such as Autos- a non organic, liquid, water soluble fertilizer is often the way to go. They are generally cheap, easy to use and quickly taken up by the plants when they need it most. My ride or die brand is "Flora Nova” by General Hydroponics and it comes in a 1 part nutrient grow and bloom formula catering to my plants’ needs from start to finish. This company has many options available including all kinds of additional supplements to be used in conjunction with their standard grow/bloom formulas but I’ve never found these products all that necessary or beneficial. Using them in the past has led to over fertilization resulting in burnt foliage, stunted bud development and harsh flavours when smoking/vaping the final product. Not only does $Less is More$ apply to how many fertilizers you are giving your plants but it also applies to how much. Most photosensitive strains can easily tolerate a full dose (as per the manufacturer’s recommendations) and thrive with being fed every time you water. But Autoflowers and some smaller photosensitive strains seem to respond differently to a slight tweak- keeping in mind that if you start small, you can always add more but if you start big, you can’t take back what’s already been given. I will generally only fertilize at half of what the manufacturer recommends for a photosensitive strain- every other or every second watering. Starting out at a quarter dose for the initial feeding which can sometimes be as low as 1.25 mls per gallon and working my way up from there. It doesn’t seem like much but within hours I can see my plants responding positively with increased/sustained turgor, greening up a little and increased resin production which equals "smell/scent". For me, I can smell when I’ve just fertilized my plants- it’s a stronger smell than the normal scent that they give off with a plain watering. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up growing a greedy Autoflowering strain that seems to want more than what you’re giving it. Rather than increasing to a higher dose in a single feeding, try feeding more often at the same dose- so if you’re feeding every other or every second watering, try feeding every watering at the same dose (trying not to increase above half of the manufacturer’s recommendation for the photo strains). Occasionally I will increase beyond the halfway dose to accommodate for the plants’ needs in late flower as most fertilizer companies list an increase to adequately feed during late flower anyhow. I guess the main message for this week is to keep it simple as nature intended. Learn to read your plants and supplement the small amount of nutrients that your plants don’t already have in the high quality soil you initially provided. Cannabis cultivation can be overwhelming at first but the $Less is More$ approach will save you time, money and the realization that you’ve accidentally fried your plants!

My OG Kush is a contender for the biggest plant in the tent, tied for second place! It's got an amazing structure with perfectly spaced nodes and it's stacking up beautifully. This plant is a beast, and I'm expecting a huge yield of those classic OG Kush buds. It's got that unmistakable OG aroma – earthy and pungent with hints of citrus and spice. This one's gonna be a knockout This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

We’re officially in the first week of flowering, and the stretch has already started! 🌿 The plant without LST has shot up quickly, growing tall and strong. However, I noticed a few rusty spots on the leaves, which might be a calcium or magnesium deficiency. To help, I’ve slightly increased the CalMag and Bloom nutrients for that plant. 🌱 Other than that, everything seems to be going well, and I’m happy with the overall progress. It’s exciting to see them enter this new phase, and I can’t wait to see how the buds begin to form! 😁✨

LST, and Super cropping. Plan on letting them grow vertically for all of week 5. Ordered a 3x3 veg tent that will use this old 600 watt HID for now while the 4x4 will use my new SE 7000. Should be a massive upgrade. As soon as my new equipment gets here I will likely take 3 or 4 clones, so I can start filling up my veg tent.

After defoliation I started her finishing week or so begin. Right now she's burned a bit because of high light (she never liked high light anyways) so I lowered her down. Since my personal stash is critically low I'll harvest her in a week no more. Smells like ripe fruits, not really papaya I would say but something sweeter

July 19: second week of force flowering for Sunday Punch EV. She is a very robust and fast growing plant that can handle the cool overnight temperatures that we get here sometimes. July 21: still looking great and maybe starting to smell a bit. But that’s outdoors, with my general lack of dope smell awareness, so it would likely smell indoors to most people. That sentence sort of makes sense. July 23: added another loose Scrog net layer and using water bottles as weights to open up the canopy. July 25: watering yesterday included some water leftover from steaming beets. Seems that contained a lot of N because they’re looking really green today.

Gave them the chop today. ✂️ The nugs look super frosty and dense but no huge colas on these plants. 🤔 Staying hopeful for a decent yield.🤞

Harvest day 74. 10g dried after 4 days. Little plant and little yeald. Didn't respond well to topping, problems with over feeding in late flowering. Also began to foxtail in last week, probably due to 40°C at daytime. Will update the smoke test curing.

Veg14, transplante y riego.

Das Topping hat sie sehr gut vertragen. Ich hab ihr eine kleine Erholungsphase gegönnt, bevor ich sie dann in den Endtopf umgetopft habe. Auch hier lasse ich ihr ein paar Tage um in ihrem neuen Zuhause anzukommen, um sie dann in ein paar Tagen nochmals zu toppen und mit dem ersten LST zu starten.

Added in a fifth Zsweet Inzanity clone that I had growing on the side from the original 6 clones. Slight defoliation around the base of the stems, so far the plants haven’t been too bushy. Plants still have signs of a magnesium deficiency so I will wait 1 more week until I switch to flower. This will also give the plants a few more days to full up the gaps in the ScrOG net.
