Lots of things this week! I did some aereted compost tea for the first time. Recipe is easy. 1 5 gallon of declorinated water. In a 400 micron bag, 2 scoop of worm castin, 2 tbsp of alfafa, 2 table spoon of kelp 1 table spon of bat guano. 2 tbsp of unsulphure melasse. Then you put air pomp in it for 24 to 36h max. After its watering time! Big shout out to Mr. Canucks Grow for the tutorial video. Definitely the best weed channel out there! https://youtu.be/whE2F72P8Tg I also unplug the main cob in the white bucket to let only the custom 60w full spectrum led. I think the main cob burned the plant... still not sure but i will try a week with out it. Thanks for following! Happy growing and stay safe!

Hi! In this diary I will grow 5 Sativa and Indica dominant Auto Feminized Strains: Sour Orange Auto Feminized Seeds (2 seeds.) By The Bakery Seed Co. Sour Orange Auto Feminized Seeds are a cross of the famous Sour Tangie and the Bakery’s in house Ruderalis. Also a 80% sativa dominant strain with 56 to 70 day flower period. Tested at 17% THC this genetic is highly stable and the Bakery are very happy with the results. This Auto Feminized seed can be cultivated indoors as well as outdoors but definitely prefers a slightly warmer climate to gain the best terpene profile possible. An uplifting effect with a sweet and sour aroma of tangerines. This auto flower seed is another great addition to the Bakery Seed Co’s Automatic Range Auto Critical Orange Punch Seeds By Dutch Passion. Auto Critical Orange Punch Seeds are Dutch Passions first Critical Autoflower. A cross of (Grandaddy Purps x Orange Bud) x XXL Auto Kritical Bilbo, creating an easy strain to cultivate. Expect a full life cycle of 75 days from sprout to harvest with impressive XXL yields. She thrives with 20 hours of light and can grow up to 70-100cm indoors. Certain phenotypes can flower for an extra week or so to gain the XXL yields! Sweet skunk aromas with a hint of rich Afghan hash. Sour Stomper Auto Feminized Seeds are an example of what careful selection can achieve with breeding. A fruity style pheno of the Sour Crack female crossed with the Grapestomper OG male from Gage Green then crossed with ruderalis by Mephisto. This 50/50 Indica Sativa hybrid has a great stretch contributing to large yields. Due to cooler conditions late in flower, this dense canopy can produce beautiful blues and purples. A great genetic for indoor and outdoor cultivation and all finished and ready to harvest in just 65 to 70 days. This hybrid is popular with extracts and has Grape aroma in bloom. Auto Lemon Zkittle Feminized Seeds are made from quality USA genetics. It is an Overall Highlife Cup Winner 2018!!! It has won 1st prize in Sativa category and also was awarded the Overall Highlife Winner Trophy. Lemon Zkittle Auto retains its high THC and yields even in automatic form. Due to the lineage, this hybrid is very simple to cultivate and a great choice for beginners. Fruit and skunk aromas combined with citrus flavors and long-lasting effects. 20 Hour light cycle is recommended as well as a minimum of 75 days from seed. Some phenos can take a week longer to produce the massive yields. Outdoors this variety can take up to 100 days from seed to harvest. With THC levels tested 21% as well as minimum yields of 400g/m2, this automatic hybrid is a great addition to Dutch Passion Automatic range. 24 hours light schedule, 90 percent humidity, trigger spray, no fertilization. 15th of August: Girls are ready for germination, tonight I will place the seeds to be in water at least for 12 hours :) 15th of August: I put the seeds in the water. 16 of August 2019: Seeds are placed between damp paper towel :) 17th of Augsut 2019: All good so far, They are ready to be planted tomorrow;) Day 1: They are in the soil. Hopefully they will come out soon :) 60W LED for 5 plants and the humidity is very high 98 percent. I give 5 ml water a day per plant and plus triggering to keep the humidity very high. All the holes are closed. Day 2: Non of them are out yet but I think by tomorrow it will happen:). Day 3: All out :) Day 5: Sour Stomper and Lemon Zkittle a bit slower but all of them grow nicely. Babies ❤️ Day 6: They are coming! Critical Orange Punch is growing very quick she is already 10 cm but the rest of them are 6-7 cm.

**3RD UPDATE** looks like my work pairs off a little. My babies have grown tremendously. Day 12 and I feel pretty good about how things are going **2ND UPDATE** I ordered smart plug for my outlet where my grow tent is pulling power from. I have my lights automatically turning off for 4 hours everyday from 12-4, while is still in vegatative mode **UPDATE** so, my grow is coming along fine, but I think it could be better. I’m noticing a lot of week 2s from journals of the same strain, and mine looks either a little behind or a lot behind, depending on soil/soilless. I think my light distance has a lot to play with it. I had my light relatively high, almost 2 and a half feet above my plants. I dropped it down to about about 18 inches, as low as possible, while still covering my grow area. If anyone can provide any advice or opinions, it’d be greatly appreciated. I hope this week will be a lot of growth, fingers crossed.** So, it’s officially week 2 of my grow. I’m pretty excited! I have 3 Six Shooters growing....all 3 germinated,,,2 are growing and reaching, 1 is a little behind, though I’m not too concerned about her. They all are growing their 2nd pair of leaves, and I don’t expect much activity this week, although I will still try to update daily. I had a great Saturday, wake n bake sesh...then I took some of you guys advice and went to my local hydroponics/garden store....and realized quickly how much I was spending online vs shopping local. On top of that, I got a nice 30 minute lecture from one of the staff about everything. To my surprise, they start seedlings and small plants there too, aside from basil and your other herbs, if you know what I mean. So they have everything a gardener would need! I was told to transport gradual sizes....basically....like I’m planning to use 3 gallon pots right? But, I can’t go from my seedling container to a 3 pot gallon straight like that. It’s bad for the plant and extremely risky. You’ll have to water that whole pot, but with the seedling or small plant only having so many roots, it would end up basically flooding the plant out. So you move up gradually. I’ll get back to that later. The soil I was using was extremely basic; Lowe’s soil, and vermiculite mix that I blended 2 parts to 1, respectively. It was a good enough medium to sprout my seedlings and get them started, but I knew I needed more. So the guy helping me hooked me up with a 2 cubic feet/15 gallon bag of Fox Farm Happy Frog Potting Soil. I told him I was on a site (ours) where the community is pretty interactive/helpful and how I was concerned about transplanting because of the risks...He shows me this stuff called Myko, which is a root enhancer. He then transplanted a basil seedling to a larger container. Before placing it in the pre-made hole he created, he sprinkled some Myko on the roots AND in the transplanting hole (? I might have made that term up). It promotes root growth and enhances root strength as well, which not only counters transplant shock, but pretty much puts your roots on steroids. I bought a bag of that. When it’s time for flowering, I’ll be using Strawberry Fields potting soil. I went ahead and purchased other containers as well, up to the 3 gallon fabric pots which will be the plants’ final destination. I told him my water feeding schedule, water every day, water/notes on alternating days. He was a fan of it, and suggested that I go a little further and do my days like this: FEED, FEED, WATER, and so on. I purchased Cali-Mag to make sure I have enough calcium going on. I went ahead and got a PH kit as well, to make sure my water and nute days are both within 5.5-6.5 pH. I slick felt like I was in high school science/chemistry all over again lol. I went ahead and bought coated metal flower support wires for LST. He did mention doing “supertopping”, but forgot to show me on a plant. Basically, it’s gently bending the main cola back and forth until you can have it bent in a ways to where you can maneuver it under netting/lattice to allow other cola to get equal/adequate energy and/or growth. I’m paraphrasing this shit, so by all means, correct me. I’m just hoping I can help someone else. I transplanted my plants to GroPro Square 4 x 4 x 3.5 plastic potting containers, and used the Mykos on the roots and soil. I then watered my plants with the water/CaliMag solution, and placed them under the grow lights again. I’ll add pix and vids to my entry shortly.

Nothing to really add, feels like everything is pretty dialed in. Watering more cause she’s very thirsty. Buds are starting to really fill out and trichomes are looking amazing

Week 8 - Oct 26 to Nov 2nd Smooth week! A bit of a late November heat wave brought my room up to near summer temperatures 😵 Crisped the tips a bit with the heat and upping the nutes. This advanced nutes stuff is very salty for a soil grow and even the small amounts reported above, split between the 4 plants, still end up getting to the fan leaves. Using Molasses and plain water feeds between nute feeds this stuff is still very touchy. The more I type about it, the more I realize it wasn't that smooth 😂 Still the best base/biggest four plants I've had and the Chem-Bomb Autos are way fatter bud wise compared to the Chocolate Mint Og Autos but they were a little ahead in development even though they all germinated in the same week. More in Week 9! Thanks for checking in! Drop a like and/or follow so I can return the favour 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow

Gracias al equipo de Orinal Sensible Seeds, Marshydro y XpertNutrients sin ellos esto no sería posible. 💐🍁 Slapz: Los elevados niveles de THC te sumergirán y envolverán cuando cultives nuestra nueva variedad de Cali, Slapz. Nuestro último híbrido americano es un cruce de Greasy Monkey y Runtz, y esta dama de la costa oeste es una verdadera intérprete y extremadamente gratificante para cultivadores de todos los niveles, ya que produce generosas cosechas de potentes cogollos pegajosos cargados de potentes tricomas de THC. El limoneno es el terpeno más dominante y produce un exquisito aroma y sabor a caramelo dulce afrutado con un ligero fondo floral y un toque de diésel. Estoy usando el FC6500 como luz principal 💡, con su potencia y espectro, espero un crecimiento fuerte y buena floración 🌱✨, también usaré los Adlite UV55 de 55W para complementar las primeras etapas. En cuanto a nutrientes, he optado por XpertNutrients 💧, que es conocido por su fórmula equilibrada y fácil de usar. Sus productos están diseñados para ofrecer una nutrición completa durante todo el ciclo de cultivo, ayudando a las plantas a alcanzar su máximo potencial. 📆 Semana 5: Esta semana la Slapz sigue pegando un estirón brutal y empieza a engordar los cogollos con ganas. Los tricomas asoman con fuerza y el olor cada vez es más intenso, tirando a dulce con un fondo terroso que promete. Los Adlite de Mars Hydro están marcando la diferencia. La penetración lumínica es una locura: hasta las ramas bajas están formando flores densas, cosa que en otros cultivos me costaba más ver. La temperatura y humedad se mantienen estables gracias a su sistema de disipación, lo que me da más margen para apurar sin estrés. En cuanto a nutrición, sigo con el plan de XpertNutrients, ajustando los niveles de PK para esta fase. Se nota la calidad: las hojas están verdes, sanas, sin señales de carencias ni excesos. El tándem luz + nutrientes está funcionando como un reloj. Ahora solo queda seguir vigilando tricomas, ajustar algo de riego si hace falta, y dejar que la magia siga su curso.

One of the standout features of Auto Purple is its ability to change colors without requiring extra effort or investments from my side. Witnessing the gradual transformation of the plant added an extra layer of excitement to the cultivation process. The vibrant hues brought about by this strain created a visual spectacle that exceeded my expectations, and the joy derived from the resulting photographs is undeniable. Despite the visual triumphs, I couldn't escape the recurring issues that often accompany autoflowering strains. The yield, much like my experiences with other autos, fell considerably short of expectations. This common challenge posed by autoflowers prompts a reevaluation of expectations, acknowledging that their unique traits may require a different approach to achieve optimal results. In summary, Auto Purple by Pyramid Seeds offered a delightful visual experience with its natural color changes and fruity notes, marking a positive step into the realm of colorful strains. However, the persistent challenges in yield highlight the need for a nuanced approach to cultivation when dealing with autoflowering varieties.

Started doing some light defoliation a bit each day on the very low level offshoots and any big leafs blocking main bud sights. Looking back I should have done a bit more earlier on as these are very heavy and leafy plants. At the start of the week my light was at 55%, on 13 Nov I put it to 100% to see how they react. I will monitor to see if they are ready for it but they really took off this last week. My one plant in the back left always appears droopy compared to the others because the leafs on it are so big it weighs down the whole plant. The plant in the back right was always janky and I considered not even growing it. The seed came through a few days later than the rest and I almost wrote it off. Figured I would use it as an experiment and try and learn from it instead.

So, first of all, I want to say that I´ll be doing the diaries in a weekly updates way, instead of day by day, not only because it is less heavy on me, but I think it´s a better and more attractive reading. So, tell me if you prefer day by day or weekly updates please! Thanks! So, this week was pretty good, thricomes are looking pretty close to harvest. About 90% cloudy, with a little amber and clear. Watered with regular water and didn´t feed her. Flushed it with regular water on day 74, looked like it had still lots of nutes/salts buildup. And about flushing: I saw a really good study (I can link if it´s of interest for someone) showing that flushing isn´t really required, specially if you´re doing organic grows. It was really well explained and had solid arguments and comparisons, even tho, I flushed her in order to see if it really makes a difference. On day 76 when i first opened the tent in the day, she was all the way to the floor, almost hitting 2 tiny girls on the tent. Since she doesn´t had any strenght to support herself, I used some ropes to mantain her up. In resume: The week´s been really nice, she´s beautiful as hell with some purples and I´ve learnt some really good stuff as well.

This week's been pretty unspectacular again except for a skyrocketing EC. Had to counteract by giving plain tap water to get it down and the pH value up. As I'm writing this, I'm already preparing the flushing solution. Harvest is getting real close i.e. end of the coming week.

10th week, the smaller Strawberry G was already harvested. 5 grams dry weight. Twig snap two days ago I was out smoked it. Head buzz, Strawberry taste was light and delicious. High lasted about 4 hours. I have a habit of harvesting with hardly any amber so the potency is at its peak.

Well she’s is strong and today is day one of flower. I have turned the lights off for the next 24 hours. Cleaned the Reservoir. Increased the nutrients for the flip. I am running 1 mL of each flora grow flora bloom flora micro silica and Cal mag. My 12 hour light schedule be from 8 AM to 8 PM lights on 8 PM to 8 AM lights off. I will need to dehumidify a little bit to get it down to about 50 and then 45 I believe would be good once the pistols start coming in and colas start to grow. Ive been thru a lot with this plant due to user error but the genetics are strong and this plant can take serious abuse. I would absolutely recommend the strain for a beginner as you can see my many mess ups and still this plant survived and is ready to be budded now. She scroged well with topping multiple times. She’s not a fan of heavy nutrients she also does not like a high pH. You can clearly see the bomb genetics in it as these plants tend to explode in growth very easily. I am extremely happy with this growth so far even with the hiccups. I cannot wait to see these callers grow hopefully fat and happy and heavy.
