I originally had applied to Green House Seed Co.'s Taste of the USA Contest here on Grow Diaries. Turns out I was ineligible but the good folks at GHS still had the big hearts to send me seeds anyway. So big ups to them for hooking this grower up. Welcome to the Sea of Fire 🔥 For this grow were using the Dark Phoenix seeds that GHS sent to me to create a Sea of Green. I've got 8 plants in 8 1L pots. I've decided to use Black Swallow's living soil for this grow so we won't need to add anything but water for the first 3 weeks or so. Our goal for this grow is to have these girls ready for harvest in about 20 weeks which will bring us to the beginning of November 2021. If all goes according to plan these firey buds should be filling my friends stockings this Christmas.

Last week

Flush day!!! Buds are like stonedd. AN products working very well.

Gave them rain water when they needed it 👍

Hey folks. Into week 5. Nothing much happening here, some lst, hst, topping and some more defoil. Broke a branch while applying lst and taped her back up. They have been consuming more water now so I increased it from 4L every 2-3 days to 6L for the larger gals.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Started a liquid supplement because my dry amendments aren’ didn’t activate my last grow. Maybe I didn’t mix them deep enough or keep the top layer wet enough but i know its the end of my first run & my girls have been STARVING . So even though I did top dress a few weeks ago I still started her on liquid amendments like my oldest girls & she’s handled all the feedings brilliantly. She has pre flower pistals showing but only sparsely so we’re still vegging out. She’s a beast & that’s an understatement. Definitely the biggest & most vigorous auto I’ve ever grown. Liquid amendments I’ve been feeding are still indeed organic so no worries.

Hi everyone 🤗 This week the two Kosher Tangie Kush were harvested by Amsterdam Genetics 😍. extremely good phenotypes. The blue cheese pheno 2 and 3 were placed in the darkroom according to the video. These were harvested yesterday, from which the pictures will come in the next update :-). All others need 2-3 weeks. I wish you lots of fun with the diary, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

Hey Grow-Community, es ist wieder Zeit für das DWC-Update! Wir sind in der kritischsten Phase angelangt – der 6. Blütewoche. Jetzt geht es darum, maximale Masse und Dichte in die Blüten zu bekommen. Und was soll ich sagen? Meine Early Skunk Diven liefern eine Bilderbuch-Performance ab! Der Zustand der Superstars: • Pflanzenkörper: Sie sind kerngesund, saturn-grün und zeigen absolut keine Mangelerscheinungen. Die Buds verdichten sich massiv und die Trichomproduktion läuft auf Hochtouren. Der Blütenduft wird immer intensiver. • Wurzelzone: Das Highlight jeder Hydro-Woche! Das System wurde komplett gereinigt (VC-Anlage ist blitzsauber) und die Wurzeln sind kernweiß – ein Traum im DWC und das beste Zeichen für optimale Sauerstoffversorgung und ein perfektes Wurzel-Spa. Das Hesi-Menü für 38 Liter (FL-Woche 6): Pünktlich zum Peak der Blüte gab es heute den frischen Tankinhalt. Da der Bedarf an Kalium und Phosphor nun am höchsten ist, wurde die PK-Dosierung exakt nach Hesi-Schema für die 6. Woche angepasst. Mit dieser perfekt abgestimmten Nährlösung und den kerngesunden Wurzeln sind wir bereit, die Endphase der Blüte einzuläuten. Bleibt gespannt, denn bald startet die entscheidende Spülphase!

Og kush auto - 420fastbuds Harvested! Super awesome strain!

I super cropped the orange sherbet today & wedding cheesecake wish me luck

Start of week 2

Growth of 'only' 11cm this week 😅 Just over 8" Still she is growing very nice.

Hi, I will grow 5 Cup Winner Auto Feminized Strains in this diary, mostly Indica dominant strains. LSD-25 Auto Feminized Seeds By FastBuds: LSD-25 Auto Feminized Seeds are another addition to FastBuds ever-growing range of automatic genetics. A cross of LSD and FastBud’s own in house Ruderalis, creating another high THC and low CBD automatic purple strain. This indica dominant hybrid has strong scents of earthy pine and wood. A short life cycle of only 8 weeks makes this genetic one of the quickest flowering seeds by FastBuds, without compromising in yield size. This strain can be treated with no extra care so can be great for beginners, but if trained correctly yields can improve massively. Auto Glueberry OG Feminized Seeds by Dutch Passion: Auto Glueberry OG Feminized Seeds are another cup winning genetics, awarded 3rd Prize Autoflower Highlife Cup Netherlands 2017. This strain stems from Dutch Passions Glueberry OG, a cross of (Gorrila Glue x OG) x Auto Blueberry, to ensure the same attributes as her photoperiod sister. This versatile Sativa dominant hybrid can be used for SOG as well as SCROG. Due to the Sativa dominance, you can expect large yields whatever climate with a flowering period of 77 days. Another great automatic strain from Dutch Passions USA Special Range. Northern Light Automatic Seeds By Royal Queen Seeds: Northern Light Automatic Seeds are a great strain for growing both indoors and outdoors in most climates. A mostly Indica strain due to its Afghani genetics. A nice, sweet taste with a comfortable physical effect, a great strain for medicinal uses. Ready for harvest in only 9 to 10 weeks the plant starts growing and producing flowers almost immediately. Northern Light Automatic has a very generous harvest and may be one of the highest-yielding autoflowering strains available today. Growing to a height of around 90-120 cm, it is quite a large plant for an autoflowering variety. Auto Colorado Cookies Feminized Seeds By Dutch Passion: Auto Colorado Cookies Feminized Seeds are a high yield, indica dominant Automatic hybrid. An original fruity USA flavor with a Dutch Passion yield in automatic form. A cross of the sought after Auto blueberry by Dutch Passion and an exceptional Girl Scout Cookie from Colorado. This strain has some incredible aromas as well as strength to match. With a complete life cycle of 70 to 77 days you can gain as much as possible when it comes to yield. This amazing Automatic Hybrid is yet another great addition to Dutch Passion’s collection in collaboration with USA Genetics. Auto Blackberry Kush Feminized Seeds By Dutch Passion: Auto Blackberry Kush Seeds are another cup winning genetic by Dutch Passion, placing 2nd in Autoflowers, Highlife Cup, Netherlands 2018. A cross between Dutch Passions Original Blueberry and a Kush Hash-Plant has created an indica dominant hybrid with a sweet fruity taste. Dominance from the Blueberry tends to give to a sweeter characteristic, combined with an indica dominance from the Kush. Expect Vigorous growth as well as great dark purple hues from this hybrid later in flower. Average height of 0.75-1m when on 20/4 and all complete within 70 days from sprout. 24 hours light schedule, 90 percent humidity, trigger spray, no fertilization. 15th of August: I prepared the seeds and tonight I will place them to be in water for at least 12 hours. 15th of August: I placed them to the water. Auto BlackBerry Kush straight submerged. Wao....:D 16th of August: I placed them between damp paper towel. Northern Light Auto is the quickest she has already sprouted out.:) 17th of August 2019: All of them are fine the LSD-25 was the slowest and the Northern Light is the fastest seed that germinated. They are ready to be planted tomorrow ;) Day 1: I have planted them. 60 W LED for 5 plants 98 percent humidity, daily water 5ml per plant plus a lot of triggering to keep the humidity very high all the holes are closed, 24 hours light schedule. I just need to wait to them to be out :) Day 2: The winner is Blackberry Kush she is the first out. :) Rest of them still not out but I think by tomorrow most of them will be. Day 3: Super Skunk is not viable. The seed isndead all were out I checked she stopped growing but I didn't not find any broken part or the seed was not even dried or something like that. It has never happened to me the seed just stopped its life:( I will grow this strain next time. I replaced with Glueberry OG. All out by the way :)❤️ Day 5: All of them grow quick, 4-5 cm already, they are so fragile ❤️ Day 6: LSD-25 and BlackBerry Kush is 10 cm long they are the tallest gamers. Rest of them are fine with 6-7cm.

Week 10, so from today I stopped watering the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and on Saturday no more light as well. Sunday is harvest day finally. Not much changed, I raised up the water with 25ml so the Purple Punch gets 200ml 2 x a day. That's all, since last week I started giving 13 hours darkness and 11 hours light and from Monday will be 12/12 after I harvested the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and I can use the tent only for her. Fertilization will happen on the same days. Sunday fun day, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is harvested. Purple Punch left alone. From tomorrow I will switch the light schedule 12/12. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.

Week 8 flower 🌸 ✅Final week before harvest. Flushing with just ph’d water for the final week. Everything looking good for harvest at the end of week 12. Some amber trichomes starting to appear on almost all of the buds on both plants so lights out any day now. Next update harvest 👨‍🌾🏻 ✌️

Everything is going great, I also think my plants have stopped stretching/growing, although really close to the lights. I am not seeing lightburn, is this is something should be concerned about? The leaf temp is about 75 degree under the light. Also just sticking with AN Bloom, Big Bud, Bud Candy. Should I be using B52? Also is overdrive worth it? it seems expensive for two weeks worth of work? One more question? Is superThrive bad in flowering? I read somewhere it could make bad things happen in flower because of the hormones it has. thus my question about B52.

WEEK 2 - 31/7/2021 - 6/8/2021 1/8/2021 - 1L of water mixed with the following: Cal Mag - 2.5ml/gal - 0.7ml Micro - 2.25ml/gal - 0.6ml Gro - 2.25ml/gal - 0.6ml Bloom - 0.6ml/gal - 0.2ml Rapid start - 1ml/gal - 0.3ml pH - 6.07 EC - 1.03 mS.cm T - 26 The 4 seedlings are still showing signs of growth but the leaves are droopy and has malnutrition issue. I really hope they get back on track with the new nutrient regime. 2/8/2021 - 4 seedlings transplanted to larger 3 x 3 inch rockwool cubes to allow the seedlings to establish its roots first before transplanting to the RDWC system. 6/8/2021 - 2 plants are relatively normal looking but the other 2 looks deformed. I'm quite unhappy with the seed performance thus far. Poor germination rate, inconsistent genetics and weird phenotype. I wonder where Weedseedexpress sourced the Harlequin seeds from.
