64 days after i planted her seed directly in a pot outside 😱the reaper came, i hung her upside down for 6days then cut her &put her on a net to dry some more While cutting I found some little catterpillars about 5 guess that were the eggs that I found on some of the plants last week.☺️ After a few days drying on the net i weighed it:53,6gr The taste is great I'm very happy with the result catterpillars included☺️

Colour really showing through now, and really starting to swell everywhere! Smell is also unreal, very fuely and sweet, naughty combo! Had to tie the side branches to the main stem as they were so heavy they were all sagging down! Started to flush at the end of this week :)

She's doing so well not doing much but feed her and got her a wee defold.

Start 6th week! I remove from feed chart : -voodio juice - bacteria for soil health - tarantula ; like voodio juice - piranha - some species of trichoderma (beneficial fungii for soil and roots) THIS WEEK I switch 12/12 (So I will switch diary to flowering phase only when I will see plant changes) Auto irrigation system for coco: 150 ml 3 times a day CO2 Add co2 at half o forse 5th week at day 32. 15 min for hour (light) +1000 ppm.

Merry christmas everyone 🎉🎉🎉🛍️🎁🎊🎊🌲🌲🌲🌲

3.5 weeks from seed not 4, wanted to provide an update to the other topping and fimming pics you can see them taking off! fed once, not alot but i suggest not feeding with miracle grow its rediculous soil... and i suggest 40% perlite really its arguable but both are great drainers are provide lots of oxygen flow im not pro but this isnt my first time, update: they are exactly 1 month from seed today, check the updates, fed promix rooting hormones on transplant

No problems just steady grow haven't added any extra nutrients

2/8 - first flower feeding after 24 hours of being promoted. She was thirsty and I think I'm going to have to feed almost daily to keep up as the pot isn't big enough for a full gallon watering...mistake made. Need to defoliate and prune out some small sucker bud sites. Tomorrow or Wed for that. 2L distilled water Bloom 2g Phosphorus 0.44g Kelp 0.38g Cal/Mag 0.58g (too much) Microbes Bloom Stage 0.98g Amino Acids 0.69g Enzymes 0.27g (too much) 6.0pH 68.5*F 760ppm 2/10 - feeding today, removed all rubber wire restraints, minor defoliation of bigger fan leaves on top, removed some sucker shoots from down below and I am wondering what else to prune out. This thing is going to be a 2 foot x 2 foot monster! 2L distilled water Bloom 2g Phosphorus 0.38g Kelp 0.39g Cal/Mag 0.32g Microbes Bloom Stage 1g Amino Acids 0.68g Enzymes 0.15g 6.0pH 68.5*F 660ppm Oh and it's a girl! 2/12 - feeding and mass defoliation with sucker shoots pruning...removed about 20% or more. Now she has room to breathe and good light penetration to the soil. Also tied her down gently to open up the canopy and spread out the tops a bit. 2L distilled water 6.0pH 675ppm 69.4*F Bloom 2.1g Phosphorus 0.41g Kelp 0.44g Cal/Mag 0.34g Microbes Bloom Stage 1g Amino Acids 0.65g Enzymes 0.13g 2/14 - flush feeding 2L distilled water, 6.0pH, 69.5*F

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

Iniziò seconda settimana di fioritura... Questa papaia cookie mi sta sorprendendo...bella davvero,sta iniziando a profumare bene e sopratutto buono😂😉💪💚💛

It's week 4, not doing anything different, I feed every other day and every third feeding is tea. I lst the back 2 rabbit shit girls because they are growing uncontrollable, they are by far the biggest plants I've ever had at 4 weeks, can't beat that rabbit shit. The other girls are growing good too, should be able to start lst this week with them.

FBT2309 is doing great under the Mb Medic Grow mini Sun-2. I finally got the ph to stabilize not long ago. She has been growing fast, and strong since. She has started her preflowering. so I expect she will gain some size soon.

Getting frosty! Can’t wait for my next update gonna upgrade some things in the tent 🏕️!

So this lady was the biggest of all and the fastest. The smell is very nice, sweet and lemon. Was very easy to grow, all natural, only good soil and water.

Bomba!! Está semana ya he cortado 1 de las chicas que ya estaba lista para las tijeras. La próxima semana ya estarán listas las otras 2 ,🥂🌳

Nov 22nd - Day 36 - FLUSHED - Flushed plants as worried about lockout - I swear I am now getting a small hint of the cheese small but it may be in my head - More trimming and LSTing Nov 23rd - Day 37 - Switched to the HPS - Installed HPS during the off period to make sure bulb was not hot - Not essentially need but some sites/growers suggest even for autos to switch from MH to HPS during flowering as it may increase trichome production Nov 25th - Day 39 - Feeding time - Added more bloom to this batch as it is for the flowering stage and i am hoping to encourage big buds - Very dry conditions may need to invest in a humidifier for the next grow
