One was more bushy and was a little behind. As I said, they had some heat stress and I think the 15-liter pots are too small when the environment is hotter. Still, they are totally worth growing and joy to smoke. They don't need much curing and the weed is very very strong. Going to try this strain again very soon!!

This week wasn't as bad as last week 😊 Nights were cold 😰, but not to much rain 😿 and a few hours of sun 😍 Temperatures in the greenhouse were medium : during the day 20°C 💀; min temp 3.5°C ; max temp 31,7°C 😤 Cookies Gelato has turned completely purple 👍👍👍 I defoliated the plants 😙 and had to remove budrot (especially in the Cookies Gelatoes)😨 I took the prettiest Cookies Gelato outside for a photo session in my garden 😍 Probably these will be the last pictures of the plans, before harvesting ! 👍😄

Metemos un último apretón de comida porque la planta lo pide y la resina y dureza de las flores me sorprende muy gratamente y el olor super fuerte!! Es una pasada como evoluciona de rápido y de bien. Se nota en alguna hoja como nos pidió un poco más de calmag y comida, pero están muy sanas y fuertes! Ya están cercanas a su última semana, ya tenemos a 30 cm el foco y las pequeñas están estupendas.😘😍

4/22/2024 Day 29 showing plenty pistils, still in the transition to flower stage. Training may help the plant grow bigger/ longer stems. They can be semi bushy when spread out. Switched nutes to flower bloom from Gaia green 4/26 day 33? Last half of week 5 there has been more of a stretch than there was previous to this. These plants have been mad with a bit of over water and chlorine issues and maybe cal mag 4/27 day 34 end of week 5 The plants both stretched. The one I didn’t train,I can see a visible growth of about double the height, just over this last week. For it being just a pre flower stretch/transition phase for the auto flowers, I am surprised at how many pistils are on the flower sights. The end of last week, I didn’t feel like there were enough pistils to consider it the beginning of flower, and now at the end of this week, it looks like this should be the end of week 1 flower, but they were still stretching.

7/28/19 --Super happy to see the plants doing this well. Ive found that every other day feeding is the best for these specific plants. Im a big proponent of only watering the plant when it signals it is ready for watering. The least possible amount of induced stress for these plants is the goal for me. Cheese seemed to be totally unaware of the FIM that was done on it, as it showed not even 1 sign of stress post FIM. Cream cookies is another story, she's quite sensitive to absolutely everything--including watering. I am super happy to see that the last fan leave on the 5th node has 9 leaves--a really good sign that the plant is doing extremely well. The more leave nodes on each leave the healthier than plant. There are zero signs of nutrient burn at all. It was difficult at first to see if the slight bending of the leaves was due to nutrient burn, but I later figured out that the leaves were pressing against the side of their pot and as a result bending--wasnt nutrient burn. Ive been varying the pH widely each week--with the attempt to be as random as possible. I want to make as many nutrients available to the plant as absolutely possible. I really am loving the Advanced Nutrients Sensi line. Im growing in coco but I bought the nutrient mix not designed for coco with the understanding there might be some potassium issues down the road. But otherwise as a chemist by profession, when I heard about the pH perfect line I was rightly skeptical. It will balance your solution to the correct pH range (5.6-6) IF you start with dead neutral pH 7.00±0.05 water with no dissolved salts (distilled water). the distilled water I've been buying (from Walmart) clocks in on the pH meter at around 7.6-8.6 which will cause the pH perfect technology to neutralize some of the dissolved ionic species and bring the pH well below safe range for cannabis. Ive found that if you pH the distilled water to 7.00--add your Ca/Mg/Fe, THEN add the pH perfect technology the range will be much more suitable. It was kind of annoying since my pH down is so much more concentrated than my pH up. Me problems I know but still annoying. --One of my amazing collages at work is going to water both babies today with Week 4 nutrient solution even though we are technically in week 5. My vacation has prevented me from mixing the solution to feed. --This vacation has brought so many new automation ideas to coco coir growing. Ive been developing a hypothesis that involves what I call the "level of droop age" and its correlation to plant thirst. It began when I was growing in soil and needed a better way of telling when to feed the plants instead of a fixed schedule, which seemed to be giving way too much water to the plants. ---Ive developed a "droop scale" which can be directly correlated to plant thirst. Ive also found that very happy plants that do not want water will go through a natural droop cycle as night approaches. I take this as the plants time to grow out its root system (happens at night). By the morning the leaves are pointing up in what I call "leaves up loving life" ---So the scale I've developed is kind of arbitrary but it does a really good job imo if you become very familiar with your plants. ---The scale ranges from -10 (the most droop in the leaves every observed) to +10 (the most extreme leaves up loving life ever observed). the scale is out of 10 not 20. ---lets say that you watered your plants today, and their leaves were at a -7/10 droop (what when I water my plants). If you water them you should observe no increase in droop--in other words after watering the droop should only improve not regress. If the droop increases after watering your plants wanted a little more time before their feed--so alter your droop scale until you find the level of droop that when feed causes only an increase in the droop. 6 hours after watering you plant droop should be >+1/10. The next day you should see your plants at least at +5/10 droop. ---Merging this scale with automation is going to be difficult as ill have to use an open source machine learning AI to learn when the plants droop is sufficient enough to justify a watering. I hope to set up the system to be automated or manually operated over the cloud. ---Using a Raspberry pi and an Arduino as well as a whole set of motor control boards and sensor boards I hope to put together an integrated system that can detect when the leave droop reaches critical levels using a camera, and feed accordingly. Ive been all over the internet and all automated grow projects rely on soil moisture sensors which only penetrate <4 inches into the substrate. This doesn't cut it for me as the root ball of the plant is way below that 4 inches of the sensor, yielding readings which only pertain to the top layer of soil, which just so happens to dry out the fastest. ---Im going to keep my grows at 2 plants each from no on--and I plan to make an automated system for both plants which can control watering to both plants individually. Im currently trying to figure out the best way to track volume of water dispensed. A flow meter with a know diameter tubing and a known diaphragm pump rate seems to introduce all sorts of inaccuracies into the mix. I think im going to design an automated measuring system that uses an ultrasonic distance sensor coupled with a camera and AI to fill up a the hopper to the desired volume of nutrient solution. ---I have all the hardware listed but im a complete dumbass when it comes to coding. My profession is chemistry, coding goes right over my head. I have an immense respect for coders as I honestly have no idea how you guys do it. Its like learning 15 different languages at once and using them all together. Blows my the ability of our society. The wide range of skills. Love it. ---If anybody would like to help me code this project it would be greatly appreciated. 7/30/19 -Cream Cookies is doing extremely well. FIM was a great idea. 4 new main cola sites came out of the FIM which im very happy about. The undergrowth also has caught up to the canopy. the canopy has a plethora of bud sites. Defoliation done to increase light to bottom branches. Largest fan leaves towards the canopy removed. FIM'ed leaves that opened up also trimmed, allowing more light to penetrate to those small bud sites. --Ive counted sites where main colas can form. Very happy with this HST I decided to do. --LST done and branches separated from each other so they can receive ample light. Thinking of adding supplementary 40W flowering bulbs for flowering. -Cheese FIM didn't work as intended but it did break the symmetry of the plant. One of the first branches has grown higher than the canopy and I had to tie it down using LST. Did some defoliation and going to do some LST later. --Some light stress spots on Cheese, makes sense since I wasn't physically at my apartment to raise the lamp. Before raising the lamp the plants were 14 inches from the light which is way too close. The closest it should be is 17 inches. Raised the lamp to 18 inches and spots are subsiding. --Being overly cautious ive increased the dose of Ca/Mg/Fe to 4 mL/gal incase spots are actually a Ca/Mg/Fe deficiency from explosive growth. 7/31/19 -Cream Cookies is showing beautiful pre flowers. Still recovering from light stress. Looks very similar to nutrient burn but only present in tip most growth suggesting light burn. 14 inches was way too close-vacation problems lmfao -defoliation done on both cheese and cream cookies to expose bud sites -LST done on both cheese and cream cookies to bring bud sites into the light -both plants fed 400 mL Week 5 nutrient solution-when I mix next weeks nutrient solution im going to reduce the concentration to 12mL/gal w/ 3mL/gal Ca/Mg/Fe. --I want to precent any nutrient burn plus plants are slightly stressed from defoliation and light burn from my vacation. -lamp raised to 19 inches to help aid in stress relief -plants are responding in a weird way to the watering. Not in a bad way-but in a different way--larger lower leaves are not drooping like in the past its just the much newer growth is drooping. Makes sense since newer growth has less developed support system. Makes me feel much better about my watering schedule. --Clawing which I suspected was due to light stress is getting better-especially after a feeding. 8/1/19 --Calcium deficiency just barely showing on midlevel fan leaves. Good thing calcium is a mobile nutrient. Going to readjust the nutrient solution ph to be 6.2-6.3. Been accidentally locking out calcium. --Defoliation done on both plants to expose more bud sites and to thin out the thick canopy so light can penetrate below. The hope is to defoliate correctly. If done right I won't have to lollipop. --Cheese has no preflowers yet--still in veg --Cream cookies looks like it started flowering. 2 preflowers were spotted earlier in the week. Surprised to see how fast the plant moved into flowering. Going to be feeding it with flower nutrients starting week 6. --Going to continue feeding cheese with veg solution until preflowers are observed.

Week seven all the girls are really happy. They’re all getting the width and height. I want no issues. The insects have seemed to die back a little bit. I haven’t had as much problems with them so that is good. All the girls continue to grow a very rapid rate very happy with the progress so far Week seven all girls are happy.

I seperated them now. The bigger one stays in the 90ltr Pot. The other got in a 13ltr pot. Later in 20ltr. Topping the small on in 1 or 2 weeks. Than LST and 12/12. Its a bit hot the next weeks. Have to look more after the plants.

Big big week. Site prep in woods 400 yards from home, middle of neighborhood urban GG. Babies getting strong indoors as temps outside are cool at night on the 50’s but hot in the day, around 72 - 77, Some fun inside and outside.

7/20: All three are doing great. I'm hoping to extend Plant 1's vegetation week so that the others catch up to her for the flip, which is eventually coming. I added RapidStart this week. I've heard great things, we shall see. More root, more fruit. Trimmed 2 lower fan leaves that were not getting any light. 7/21: Our time is drawing near for the flip! Are those........ STIPULES? 7/22: LSTing hard. Much good. Nutes niiiice. She's just letting me bend her all sorts of ways for that light. 7/23: LST for you and me, to grow some weed so happily... la la la 7/24: They are just perky tonight! 7/25: Last day of week 4. I started some bloom nutes this morning to prep, and tomorrow I lollipop 'em! I also got a new microscope for the trichomes later on, can't wait to see what's photos and videos I get.

Die Woche war solala, man sieht ja die überdungungs Erscheinungen und ich habe eine Woche ausgelassen bzw es nicht geschafft es hier zu aktualisieren, aber gut aus dem Fehler lernt man halt 😅😁 Sie sind auch so gut wie reif, heute noch einmal ohne Dünger oder booster gegossen und ich denke in 3 - 4 Tagen, wird das Licht ausgemacht für 24h und dann geht's ans ernten,trotz überdungung riechen sie wirklich gut und sind sehr fest und frosty 😁😏 Also mal sehen was bei raus kommt ich bin gespannt🤔😁 ansonsten wünsch ich eine angenehme woche! 🤜🤛 The week was so-so, you can see the symptoms of overdunging and I missed a week or didn't manage to update it here, but you learn well from the mistake 😅😁 They are also almost ripe, watered again today without fertilizer or booster and I think in 3 - 4 days, the light will be turned off for 24 hours and then it's time to harvest, despite overfeeding they smell really good and are very firm and frosty 😁 😏 So let's see what comes out, I'm curious🤔😁 otherwise I wish you a pleasant week! 🤜🤛..

Week 5 Veg - day 41 Black gum seems a bit behind in size in comparison with the other genetics I am running together but overall it’s healthy. I will be vegging it for 1 or 2 weeks more before flipping into flower. Let’s go

Unfortunately I've harvested way too early because I wanted to restart my whole setup and everything. But the finished Product looks very very juicy and smells also like the other one very citrus lasting. All of all I'm more than overwhelmed with this terpen profile!

Week 3 Blossom Ballet: Cherry Cola's Floral Extravaganza Unleashed Greetings, fellow green enthusiasts! We've hit Week 3 in the enchanting flower journey of our beloved Cherry Cola Auto, and let me tell you, the botanical ballet within the tent is reaching an unprecedented crescendo. Our green queen is unleashing a floral extravaganza that's nothing short of spectacular. As we dive into the heart of Week 3, the tent is transformed into a vibrant canvas of blooming beauty. The once-lush bush has metamorphosed into a floral symphony, each bud site a note in a melodious composition. The topping technique deployed earlier is now revealing its full glory, with multiple colas reaching for the spotlight. The decision to release our Cherry Cola from training supports continues to pay dividends. She's embracing her freedom with a wild elegance, and the tent is now an immersive experience of green abundance. The bushy ballet is a testament to the success of our horticultural endeavors, creating a living masterpiece. The topping triumph from the previous weeks echoes in every corner of the tent. The colas have matured into regal structures, each vying for attention in this botanical drama. The decision to venture into topping during the vegetative phase has proven to be a stroke of genius, enhancing both yield potential and structural beauty. Ah, a crucial note in our nutrient symphony! I introduced Potassium (K) to our water mix, adding another layer of vitality to our Cherry Cola's performance. P-Boost's phosphorus prowess, coupled with Topbooster's organic grace, dances in harmony with the added Potassium, contributing to the formation of hefty buds and enhancing the overall flowering response. Visual euphoria reigns supreme as our Cherry Cola daily unfurls new growth, showcasing the sheer energy and vitality she possesses. It's not just a plant; it's a living canvas of horticultural artistry that leaves me in perpetual awe. As we wrap up Week 3, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a living testament to the joy and wonder of cultivation. The floral odyssey is far from over, and the tent is a stage for a botanical performance that promises to linger in our memories. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as the Cherry Cola Chronicles continue to unfold! Genetics Cherry Cola Auto @Fast_Buds @fastbuds_genetics_official @fastbuds_official @fastbuds_espana Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_ Love, Care, and Attention: @dogdoctorofficial As always, thank you all for joining me on this journey, for your love, and for it all. My horticultural odyssey would never be the same without you. Your love and support are cherished, and I feel both honored and blessed to have you in my life

Day 40

They are eating like no other. They are getting a solution between 600ppm to 790ppm depending on run off every 2 days. Keeping run off as close to 700 to 800 as I can. These girls are doing great stretch has slowed down but nuggs are starting to grow. The white widow is definitely the best sugar producer than the og #1 is in 2nd the the Bruce bangers they have a crazy amount of hairs and are just growing differently I know they will still have great production though all in there own time. There will be some great colas forming hear really soon and so far so good thank you for your time of looking and happy growing and god bless.!!

Que monstruo! Y aún le queda por engordar bastante! Le quedará diría que un mes para el corte pero joooder que monstruo! Jajajajaja los cogollos laterales son como las copas de las otras mas pequeñas jajajaja y el olor! Huele fuertisimo! Además el olor es literalmente un concentrado de frutas y azucar a partes iguales, olor suuuuuuper frutal y suuuuper dulce, no huele a cannabis! Me preocupa el amarillenteo de las hojas dado que con el tema fertis he procurado ir siempre justito y aparentemente me quede un poco corto en un par de riegos pero bueno, ya aparentemente está bien la planta, aunque nunca mostró estres directamente, y ahí va, bien alimentada, que debido a eso, la voy a seguir fertilizando esta semana y ya la siguiente se acabo, solo agua y a chupar de las hojas.

Day 50: Feeding day. As planned, I raised the dosage to 4ml per liter for the 3 base compound and gave each plant 1L. They drank it all. Call me weathercock but I removed the ScrOG netting since it was more of a handicap than anything that helps. I'll continue flattening everything with LST. Everything is looking good. Day 51: Another defoliation today, removing new leaves and smaller budsites. Nothing else to read. Day 52: Video update to show the flat canopy, budsites and how I LST the highest stems and redirected them to the center of the plant to expose the most budsites to the light. Day 53: Feeding Day, still 1L each. No burned tips or anything since last time so the dosage is alright. Day 54: I woke up to 2 of my girls praying to the light god. 50cm is the sweet spot. Day 55: Nothing to read. I don't have a microscope but I'm pretty sure to see the first trichomes :) Day 56: Nothing to read.

…

Very busy have some white Dynamite seedlings started for hopefully more feminised strains. My dream is to open a seed company and become the best seed supplier! Thanks for the views. Seeds should be on eBay by tommorow (regular ones)
