With a good Flushing out my little chunks are now ready for the chop. I think a combination of Anxious and Excitement begin to overtake, whilst all the time a nagging voice in the back of my head whispering 'are you sure its the right time'. This little voice i must admit has been a preoccupying factor and by far the most difficult decision so far. Despite this and the little voice screaming away i have decided that i am to stick by my guns and Harvest these Chunky delights as planned! Wish me luck the time is nigh.

END OF WEEK 4 FLOWER Seems to be going well, nice to be able to sit back and watch these girls grow :D Had some bleaching on a few of the nugs, so I dimmed the light slightly and managed to raise it an extra 5cm. I also bent a few of the taller stems out from directly underneath. Big Mumma is killing it, some real nice and dense little nugs on her.

I grew three plants under a 331 watt cob , this was the biggest , it liked defoliation, and would probably enjoy LST0 i really tried to give some buds a good trim, but i cant see very well so thats the best i could do...0 Big thank you to Fast Buds for the prize 😀😀😀😀😀

this week start defoliation, smell strong, 💪

11/24 and week nine Will be feeding Monday as well as a foliar of weak cal-mag Defoliating as well Tuesday Maggie's bud are beginning to cone as Layla and so that is hopeful. 11/27 Do not see much bud building on Brandy. Not a deficiency issue that I can see just the effect of the stunting. Considering harvesting Brandy cutting my losses and freeing light space for the others which we hope will pay off. Get some sleep see how it looks in the morning. 11/27 PM Brandy and the Runtz will be harvested this week as they are just ready to go and I want some of both :) Recharge and bio-bloom for Layla and Maggie just some water and a bit of recharge for Brandy. Just to see what happens PH 6.5 New pics and vid 11/29 new pics Going to let Brandy continue to ripen the Recharge seems to have triggered new hair growth 11/30 Changed the bulb on the Lights to a different maker (vivosun) and man what a difference. That old light was costing us! From now on that bulb is changed every six months.

I received the rest of the range at advanced NUTRIENTS. I now use the full range. Michka is more and more imposing and beautiful.

Sensi Seeds Research – „Cherry Strudel“ ​Willkommen zu einem weiteren Kapitel unserer botanischen Analyse! In diesem Projekt untersuchen wir die Sorte Cherry Strudel aus der Research-Linie von Sensi Seeds. Ein besonderer Dank gilt Sensi Seeds für die Bereitstellung der feminisierten Samen im Rahmen dieser Dokumentation. ​ Sortenprofil – Cherry Strudel (Sensi Seeds) ​Genetik: Diese zu 65 % Indica-dominante Hybride ist eine komplexe Kreuzung aus Ed Rosenthal Super Bud und einer Mischung aus Red Velvet sowie Lemon Cherry Gelato. In Kooperation mit Sherbinskis entwickelt, fließen hier Einflüsse von Sunset Sherbert und Girl Scout Cookies ein. ​Wuchs & Morphologie: Die Pflanzen wachsen zu relativ niedrigen (70 bis 100 cm indoor), aber sehr produktiven Einheiten heran. Charakteristisch ist die klassische Weihnachtsbaumform mit einer dominanten zentralen Cola und starken Seitenzweigen, die sich hervorragend für Techniken wie SCROG oder Lollipopping eignen. ​Blühdauer: Mit 65 bis 70 Tagen weist der Cherry Strudel eine relativ lange Blütezeit auf, die wir in unserem Protokoll genauestens überwachen werden. ​Terpenprofil & Aroma: Wir erwarten ein dekadentes Bouquet aus Kirschsorbet, Zitronenschale und cremiger Vanille, ergänzt durch subtile erdige Untertöne. ​Wirkung: Die Sorte verspricht eine vielseitige Erfahrung – beginnend mit einem euphorischen Energieschub, der allmählich in eine tiefe, körperliche Entspannung übergeht, ohne einen vollständigen „Couchlock“ zu verursachen. ​⚙️ Experimentelles Setup ​Unser bewährtes Stufensystem: ​Start: Spiderfarmer Pflanzständer (54W LED) bei ca. 140 PPFD / 9DLI und 18h Beleuchtung. ​Substrat-Zyklus: Easyplug (30ml) ➔ Easy Cube (400ml) ➔ 3L Stofftopf ​Mikroklima: 25°C und 65-70% RLF. Cherry Strudel (Sensi Seeds Research) ​Status: Keimung im Rekordtempo ​Tag 0.1: Das Paket von Sensi Seeds wurde in Empfang genommen und der Samen ging direkt für 10h ins 1% H202 Bad, anschließend in den Easyplug. ​Tag 0.2: Geduldsphase? Von wegen. Die Sensi-Genetik zeigt enorme Vitalität. ​​Tag 0.3: Rekordzeit! Die Cherry Strudel hat die Oberfläche bereits voll durchbrochen. Die Keimblätter sind geöffnet und das erste echte Blattpaar lässt sich im Zentrum schon erahnen. Aufgrund dieses Tempos wurde sie direkt mit in den 400 ml Easy Cube umgesetzt. Das DLI wurde auf 16 erhöht. ​Tag 0.4: Alles unter Kontrolle. Die Pflanze zeigt extrem vitales Wachstum und gewöhnt sich an die „Elektro-Sonne“. ​Tag 0.5: Die ersten echten Blätter entfalten sich sehr schnell. Die Pflanze wirkt sehr kräftig. ​Tag 0.6: Die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit wird auf 60–65 % gehalten. Die Oberfläche des Cubes wird zur Algenprävention gezielt abgetrocknet. ​Tag 0.7: Abschluss der Keimwoche. Die Cherry Strudel zeigt eine beeindruckende Blattentwicklung und hat die Hossegor in der Blattspannweite bereits leicht überholt. ​Düngung & Messwerte: Kein Dünger oder Wasser notwendig, da der Cube noch ausreichend feucht ist und Nährstoffe bereithält. ​Messwerte: Temp: 25°C | RLF: 65-70% | Licht: Erhöht auf 245 PPFD (18h). ​⚖️ Rechtshinweis & Compliance ​Dieses Tagebuch dient ausschließlich der wissenschaftlichen Dokumentation. Wir garantieren die strikte Einhaltung des CanG.

Last lap ! This is the biggest plant a grew, def

Bugs 🐜 hav been problem and will get worse before better

Looking beautiful. The pot is just big enough that I don't have to water too much, for now anyway.

Woo-hoo! Time for another round on Barney’s Farm genetics! And a new one I haven’t tried yet, yah!!!! One of my favourite breeders to grow, they never disappoint! Had these seeds for awhile now so I figured I’d give the 3 of them a go along side a single feminized Alien Technology plant in my RDWC setup. So seeds went directly into a cup of water for the first 12hrs overnight and then I placed them directly into wet rock wool cubes and back into the dry cups and covered them for about 24hrs. I then put them in my single 3 gal starter DWC buckets/clay pebbles under a 18/6 light schedule. 2 came up the next day and the third one needed some help shedding her seed and skin off and she was up the next day. 3 for 3 again👍 Got them in just plain water with 3ml/gal UC Roots added. I’m keeping the rock wool moist and watering the clay pebbles around it for the roots to explore outwards. I have very small rock wool cubes this time as I bought them by mistake, but gonna try them and see how they do. They really aren’t much bigger then the seeds....lol humidity was low to start so I added a humidifier to the tent and was able to get it up to 50% or so. This will do I think as they are sitting directly over a bucket of bubbling water as well. Temps are stable around 25c in the day and drop to about 20 at night. Well that’s it for this week, Cheers! 💨

She's still growing very well this week. 9cm growth! It's her first week on 12/12. Changed to 6-12-36 powdered nutrients now.

I can no longer risk removing the plant for res change so I am using a siphon. Good thing the buckets are a few inches off the ground it makes it easier to get almost all the water solution out. Also stopped using my DIY cO2 past this point

Opening 4th week blooming!! Since I levelled the EC, they are going so smoothly. Live and learning! Once they ate like a monster last time, I decided to increase 10% of the schedule, due last watering it was around 2.7. So I'll work with EC between 3.5 and 4.0 a they are consuming around 2.5-3.0 by 3 days. Removed some specific leafs covering other buds. Even didn't consider as a defoliation.

So I'm supposing that we have more 2~3 weeks ahead. Their bulking phase are going so well and I'm starting to be anxious to harvest them. Day 53 - 26/05/2025 They are bulking very well and the interesting is both Strawberry Colas have different terpenes smelling out. The 1st has more gas terpenes and the 2nd has more citric terpenes. The Mango Cream, as base for Strawberry Cola, also have fruity and gas terpenes. The buds are pretty dense. Their structure are pretty tight and thick, with most of lower buds just fetching between the others, forming a unique bud for each stem. I'm pretty happy with their results. I'm expecting to harvest between 150 and 200g dry.

July 5 - The girls are still doing awesome. temps are between 21-26. Humidity is 40-50. Still feeding every 24-36 hours with 3L per plant. July 6 - They are doing good. Showing lots of flower sites now. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures today. July 7 - Tons of progress since last week. I don't see any signs of any problems, and still no pests! The smell is getting A lot stronger as it starts to flower more July 8 - Still doing there thing, no problems, temps and humidity is fine. Have been feeding every 24 hours now as they seem to be really thirsty July 9 - Super happy with how they are doing. No issues yet. Smell is heavier, and tons of bud sites showing up. Only issue is they are growing pretty uneven. July 10 - Time to get a even canopy! First time doing some HST. I also did some defoliation. One of the stems split open a bit but it seems to be doing just fine. I did he HST and defoliation in the morning, i then took pictures of 12 hours later and everything seems just fine! July 11 - Everything seems to be a lot more even and the broken stem doesn't seem to affect the growth.

**Week 8 | Forbidden Runtz Auto | Flowering** She's in full flower now and looking the part. Height at 70cm, structure holding up well under the developing buds — good density forming on the main cola and the side branches are following suit. Trichome production already visible up close. This one is moving in the right direction. Light hours down to 16h naturally as the season progresses. Watering bumped to 2L per plant per 24h to keep up with demand. pH 6.2, EC 1.2 mS/cm, humidity at 60%. Day temps back down to 25°C, nights at 18°C — better conditions for flower development than the peak heat weeks. Nutrient stack switched to bloom: CANNA Aqua Flores A+B at 3ml/l each, CalMag Agent 0.9ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. Plagron Green Sensation introduced at 0.5ml/l to support the transition and push terpene and resin development from here on out. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned.

3 more weeks to go.
