Only 3cm growth this week but she's bushed out a fair bit and pushed out some new leaves. 💪

Struggled with slow growth and nutrient burn on 2/4. Found the Coco ph at 7.5, watered with 5.5 and it's now testing around 6.5! They are happy and growth speed has definitely picked up. All have been topped atleast once and Lst on 3/4 so far.

Ladies are getting fat! As of day 69 (Feb 12) we have started CropSalt CAKE feeding. Time to get even frostier and fatter. They are still drinking over a gallon a day each easily. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask! I want to help others grow Autoflowers like this.

So I said no more training but I couldn't help myself only second time I've done scrog and I'm trying to find a balance between plant height and light penetration you can see the plant on the right is clearly more defoliated I'm doing side by side comparison to see what works better

Waited for the roots to develop more in the little pot before transplanting to the air pot. Started low stress training on the others. They started a little slow at first but going now.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ This week was very flat and steady, girls are growing very well and leafs got sharper. They have got a new defoliation session, and a bit of supper cropping to make steams stronger. Nothing fancy, just training to an even or more even canopy. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Girl is growing with intensity, shooting various bud spots, i'm having a very good feeling about the outcome from her! Tips are a bit lighter, nothing to get overwhelm.

👻👻👻 Reminder : 👻👻👻 So, I created the diary the 15th of september, I wrotte every previous informations on paper then on a word sheet. I reallized that I got everything to create a diary here, so I did it. I should maybe try to end this first grow without buying any fertilizer and keep going with my home made receips (taken from several sources and reading). I think I will do some fun experiments on a following diary. It is well known, dwarves don't run fast, so next batch will be 3 quick one from royal queen seeds, with smart pot and coco ideas i had. It will be fun an probably in 3-4 weeks (I plane to harvest my dwarves a little bit later around week 11, but I don't know, I have to check trichomes, they will give me the answer.)🙌💩So from week (8) we are in *LIVE* mode for this diary. Hello elves (you are the elves, you reading me). Smiles are allowed (this is unfair you smoke your plants so you have a strong adventage) while reading. Orcs are the pests and desease attacking the dwarves (the 3 plants)👻👻👻 👉 I've cut every branches, it was an amazing experience : My dwarves killed the orcs, they survived and escape from this AMAZING journey. They where really impossible to kill. They suffered from : Overwatering, over defoliation, nutrients burn, probably root rot, to much heat (more than 30 degree for some days), a too small pot... And they smell like : 😅😇😇😇 a wounderfull smell. I did all the "noob" mistakes basically but I learned so much. I started to feed them with home made nutrients and ended to use biobizz really at the end. I don't know what was the best for those dwarves but they made it. I will update this diary with a video and will give in 1-2 weeks the weight dry, I am really curious about it, I left really no branches, they are like ready to be in a jar. So: 👉 The famous 3/3 with amazing colors gave me : 38 gr. wet 👉 The famous 2/3 gave me : 34 gr. wet 👉 The famous 1/3 gave me : 30-31 gr. wet The harvest seems not amazing, I don't know how much weight I may loose by drying (I kept really only the heads). For a first grow, I am happy, because I simply made it. I know that it is now a growing experience, like those wounderfull amazing plants. And I learned a lot. Allready excited to launch a second harvest. A matter of time actually. It was fast, joyfull, stressfull, great to do it. SUMMARY : 😮 Why this diary name ? 😮 👉 Because when I descovered growdiaries.com 3-4 weeks before harvesting I was completly sure to fail and that my dwarves were gona die. 😁 😮 Is it the first time you have a kind of relationship with dwarves or plants like this ? 😮 👉 Hell yeah... I am totally a casual smoker and I never did this in my life before. I have to say that I started to have like a real relationship with those 3 dwarves, they start to miss me ( I just cuted them like 2-3 hours ago). 😞😢 😮 Did you enjoy to do that ? 😮 👉 Well... It will be definitly hard to don't do it again. Hopefully when seeds arrived at my home, they where not alone, 3 quick one are waiting to have a funz experience with me. The trick what started to be a small investment turned into buying more and more stuff (ph and ec meter etc...) So I want to use them more 😲😘😍 😮 Are you high right now ? 😮 👉 Absolutly not, I haven't smoke any weed for about 3-4 months maybe and I don't drink, I mean, I am naturally like this. 😕 😮 What about the elves ? 😮 👉 You mean the readers of this website who followed, liked, help me a lot with A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GOOD ADVICES ? I love them ♥️☺️♥️ Thank to all the readers, growers, people taking care of this website and not giving any infos to the police, breeders for giving us the opportunity to do this, light crafters for giving us sun in a tent, tent builders, special potions crafters (who create amazing nutrients) specially those dedicated to the natural 100% products... I mean thank you to all elves. ♥️

Just hit day 10 of flower.this net has about 20% touching the 2nd trellis. And about 70% almost touching. One plant has a very big node spacing. Over all plants are healthy and have been given a second scarecrow method trim.

OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu

VERY BIG VARIATION BETWEEN BEANS. ONE IS SUPER AHEAD THE OTHER IS SUPER BEHIND. BUT ATLEAST ALL 5 SPROUTED. THATS NOT BAD. I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO LST. SO FAR JUST BEEN SPRAYING WATER DAILY AT SUNRISE. NOTHING ELSE. IM A SOIL GROWER. THESE ARE ALL REUSED SOIL. ADDED DRY AMENDMENTS AND HOME-MADE WORM CASTINGS AND EGG SHELLS. 3-4 GAL POTS. NOTHING HUGE. BUT I KNOW THEY NEED MORE SUN. THATS FOR SURE. THEY ARE NOT IN THE BEST LOCATIONS. BUT I HAVE LOTS OF FRUIT TREES IN BACK YARD. DIFFICULT TO FIND A GOOD FULL SUN SPOT.

Aaaah che settimana ASSURDA. Ovviamente questo è tutto un work in progress, non si finisce mai di migliorare.. Adesso ho dovuto sostituire la luce cinese che mi si era rotta dopo 3-4 giorni, facendomi maledire la volta che ho deciso di andare low budget >:S Poi ho spento la ventola, che buttava dentro (eh si, perchè invertire i poli non fa effetto) aria fredda, e l'ho sostituita con una piccola stufa, che mantiene la temperatura costante sopra i 20°C. Primo di allora avevo 16-15°C costanti tutto il giorno, la terra non si è mai asciugata come si deve e le ragazze hanno avuto problemi a fare fotosintesi, probabilmente dovuta alla scarsa qualità dei led cinesi :( Iniziamo con un breve recap: La runtz auto è andata. Probabilmente è affogata :( Le tre auto del mio amico per lo stress di questi giorni sono entrate in fioritura! Mannaggia, mi sa che non ci tiro fuori neanche un bonsai :/ La girl scout cookies auto è germogliata nella serretta! Che bello, son cosi contento! Ho dovuto metterle una stampella per tenersi dritta, ma piano piano crescerà.. Le mie in veg, la banana sherbet e la critical 707, le trovate nel loro diario - purtroppo hanno avuto un arresto di crescita, dovuto a vari problemi di freddo e luce.. Le due gemelle Bruce Banner stanno bene, sembrano piante pronte a crescere in maniera gigantesca! E' probabile che una di loro la cederò ad un amico che mi restituirà poi dei cloni in futuro! La monster skittlez sta benone, una pianta che darà ottime soddisfazioni! Sembra un pò carente in qualcosa, ma mi darò un'altra settimana prima di cominciare a pensare di cambiare illuminazione o fertilizzanti.. Il mio amico dovrebbe prendere casa a inizio mese, spero che riesca a sistemarsi entro le prime settimane in modo che possa avere il tempo per far crescere ancora di qualche internodo prima di toppare e fare cloni per me e i miei amicissimi :))
