Week 8: Steady Bloom & Vacation Prep Update: 10.07.2025 | Day 58 Weather stabilized around 25°C with occasional rain - ideal conditions. Gave another mild dose of dissolved Biotabs + Bokashi juice (1:100). Rain refilled water tanks just in time: Vacation coming up! Midweek my grow buddy takes over (fingers crossed). Here are the main characters: Forbidden Runtz Pure bloom focus now - minimal height gain. Sugar leaves turning frosty daily. Aroma intensifies: Sweet candy meets earthy skunkiness (yes, we're making that a word!). Buds point skyward, thickening noticeably. Pistils showing beautiful color variations - not just white anymore. Green Crack Surprise performer! Bud structure defied expectations: Fewer sites but chunky indica-style nugs instead of wispy sativa candles. Already sticky to the touch with impressive frosting. That glorious mango scent is creeping in - imagine it at peak swell! Easily 3+ weeks left. Bruce Banner She's still stretching like your yoga teacher! Not full bloom yet – new shoots exploding everywhere. Bud sites multiplying like rabbits. Light frost/mild smell now… but genetics don’t lie. FastBuds Tangie flashbacks intensify. This will be explosive soon. Wrap-up: This grow's the anti-stress champ compared to last year's coco/nutrient math marathon. Just observing, responding, and trusting the plants. Low-budget (Bokashi juice and only 1 smashed biotab), high-satisfaction. Learned from 2024 but 2025? Pure joy. I hasn't always to be complicated! Catch y'all next week growmies Smoking_Joe_Frazier

The Greenomatic doing Good Getting bigger and the buds are devoloping. Nothing Special Happend . Just doing my Narcos Organic Nutriets every water theye gaining . Water : 2-4 Liter every 1-2 days 19hour light 200 watt light 20liter pot 28 day Temperature 55%Humidity

Well the end is in sight, she is dressed in yellow and little buds are swollen more and more, no more flowers out, so I am harvesting in a week or so if all goes well! She smells gassy and narcotic on surface, very strong! No more food just water

Day 50 - 2/1/22 - All have now received 2 rounds of Tiger Bloom +Sweet and Sticky and 2 rounds of Cal-Mag and Sweet + Sticky - and they freaking LOVE IT! Maybe it's genetics but the buds on the 2 more mature ones are fattening up nicely. A noticeable change from yesterday. I am on the right track... I gotta start thinking about the Harvest, Drying, and Curing stages! Day 70 is the general harvest day... Day 53 - 16 days till harvest (maybe) says the genetic description. So I did my first flush with filtered and Ph'd water. Almost a gallon per plant. Wondering if there will be a final push to fatten up the buds. Either way this has already been a successful grow! Note to self - be aware of the changing light to plant distance. I had the bigger one a little too close and she told me via yellowing leaves. Caught it in time but still a rookie mistake! Day 56 - gave them some FF Big Bloom. Not sure exactly why... I'm pretty sure I was thinking, finally, about micro-nutrients. Overall I started applying nutes a little too late - another rookie mistake. But this is how we learn. We go thru the process! Gonna add a couple new pics from this Windows Surface Pro 7 camera. Never used it before now. Let's see if it's better in the bright lights...

Purtroppo non ci e potuta stare nessuna vendemmia ma occhio e croce avrei raccolto sulle 80-90 gr minimo (secco) purtroppo mi hanno rubato tutto....pezzi di m**** 🔥FAST BUDS THE BEST!🔥

The girls are moving along nicely just watering with water ph to 6.4 this week as I top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4.Spider farmer Se7000 dialed in at 30 percent and to the ceiling.Noticed some minor deficiencies Day 12 and check soil slurry 50/50 soil/water and the ppm was at 780 lil high at this early stage and the culprit.Going to work on lowering that a bit this week.I did add a top layer of fox farm ocean forest as well which runs a little hot with nutrients rather than the pro mix.I have to remember with these beautiful auto flowers less is better :)

Week 2

Growing this strain was such a pleasure! I vegged her for quite a bit at 86 days as I started her along with a dozen Autoflowers that were growing in my 4x8 tent. I wanted to wait until the Auto's finished up so that when I flipped the Meringue into flower I could move her into the 4x8 which has better environmental control, more light and co2 supplementation which I wanted to take advantage of to bring out the full potential of this awesome strain! From germination through the Fourth Week of Veg she grew in my 4x4 under a HLG Blackbird light set to 300W at the wall, on a 19/5 light schedule and was given only de-chlorinated water with FishShit Soil Conditioner added. I then switched her over to Dutch Pro nutrients for the remainder of the grow.She handled up to 1400ppms 2.8 EC of nutrients without skipping a beat and ended up with a marvelous dark maroon coloration with hints of red that were contrasted by the heavy, frosty coating of glistening trichomes she produced throughout the last 5 weeks of her 9 week flower, four of which she received 4 hours a day of supplemental UVA light. Once in the 4x8, I trellised off half of the tent and placed her under it. Once she was acclimated to her new home which only took two days, I flipped her light to 12/12 to induce flowering and sat back to watch the 'show' begin! By Week Two of flower she nearly had half of the 4x8 covered wall to wall! Keep in mind that she does have really wide node spacing so prepare yourself for daily 'leaf tucking' to ensure adequate light penetration through her canopy. All in all she was an absolute joy to grow and provided some of the most beautiful, pungent, dense and sticky flowers that I love so very much! I've cultivated this strain several times now and would recommend it, especially to experienced growers as sometimes she can be a bit finicky. The breeder recommends 30-45 day veg and advertises an 8 week flower. I vegged her for 86 days and flowered her for a full 9 weeks, the last two of which had the light cycle dropped to 10/14 to further induce trichome production (which along with the 72hrs. of dark apparently worked) which is a reminder to you new guy's that Breeder times are not 'cut in stone' and are a 'general recommendation'. Always know your plant and check the trichomes to determine exactly when the ideal harvest time has arrived as so many variables can affect harvest times. Grow Strong! 😎💚💚💚

This was a easy strain to grow and was never picky with my Amateur ways... She had a very strong smell that was Dominant over my huge Purple ghost candy.. I use my own soil now that has been worked over by my Worm Farming.. I also use worm castings every week spread on all of my plants.. Also every couple of Weeks I make a homebrew Tea for all of my plants with Alfalfa, Molasses, Worm castings, Seeweed with the Salt washed off..

Another slow but steady week of growth

❇️ Week 4 Over for Ms Northern ❇️ Phoenix seeds have a very interesting profile to them ❇️ She was consistent with the growth and the trunk started thickening too

The tops are getting pretty close to the light and I can't raise it much more... hygrometer is reading about 31 degrees 5cm from the light so I think it should be ok. Nutrients are the same as last week, not much has changed except the buds are getting fatter :) Letss goooo

Spread this girl out a bit using some string and mild LST. She's responded super well and all the bud sites seem to be getting a nice dose from the TS1000 :) Bit late uploading this week but the pictures were taken back on Tuesday meaning this is still an accurately dated upload.

Flies lots of flies smh 🤦‍♂️🏾 Heat wave in NY but my temps didn’t go up to much

Hello growers ! This week I start flush ! To clean the roots and to not smoke nutrients left. I fight against bugs and spiders that want to investigate my plants ... I check the trichomes and they are all white

Well i think the fade was as good as it gets for the first attempt at fade. The purple came in nicely and the calyxxes have taken on some purple color :) I couldnt be happier with the outcome... I did start flushing 6 days ago and today. fed with the last little bit to help with carbohydrates and flavor.. the smell is too mucmuch for my carbon filter lol. Aboutc8 feet from the tent all you can smell is bud. The last 7days. Are going to definitely be the most anxious throughout the grow. I'm hoping for good yields off 7 plants. Along with that purple accent to the terpene profile. I never like to anticipate weight but one of the bunch is definitely going to be heavy :)

I topped her above the second node, week2. She then perfectly topped herself of either node(mutation), which became apparent around day 22! I chose to NOT lollipop anything off, since she started flowering after week3.

Hanno iniziato la quinta settimana di vegetativa...penso che ancora poco e la passerò in fioritura 😂💪💪💪

This week i flushing a plant 7-10days and use ice burn. And close a light before hardvest 2days
