Grape Ape Cake ! Lineage; Hotcakes (Katsu Bubba Kush X Burnt Toast (from Raw Genetics) X Grape Ape An Exciting New Collab from Katsu Bluebird ! Week 11, & the End of 4 weeks of flowering (30 Days of 12/12) Welcome back to our regular scheduled programming.... Like I mentioned we are officially 30 days into our 12/12 lighting cycle. Now taking into consideration that this is one of the first runs of this particular strain the flower period is partially undetermined, I will be guessing based on Lineage of the parents, & following her closely towards the end to ensure my desired trichome ripeness. Katsu's HotCake's run's Approximately 8-9 Weeks & The Grape Ape run's slightly quicker at 7-8 Weeks You can certainly tell the difference between all 5 plants, I'm very glad I took cuts of everything ! as plants 2 & 3 are certainly the keepers of the bunch.. plant 2 showing some very cool fall colours already (emerson effect hitting strong asf) She is already starting to purple up & smells Very Sweet. My guess is this pheno leans more to the Grape Ape side. As far as plant 3 is concerned I can smell heavy Kush aromas emulating off her already, & based on her flowering structure I believe this pheno leans more Katsu Bubba. but we'll have to wait and see. A Minor amount of leaf plucking this week should be noted.. It will probably be the last time I mess with them, its time to start swelling up. It is my opinion that most of the stretch has been completed & i'm now looking at the final colas minus the couple weeks of filling out of course. As this is the end of four weeks of flower(12/12) Their food will be increased during the next feeding, thus far i've been impressed with the ease of this strain.. I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest but I will say this I was weary of over-feeding but all of them seem to enjoy heavy feedings. Thanks for Reading 🙌 If you have a question or a comment leave it down below otherwise, I Hope You Check in Next Week, Stay Safe out there & Happy Gardening Cariboo

Fattening and Stacking! 😍Ladies are doing great, no pests, no extreme weather. Noticed a slight potassium deficiency in #2, will correct at next feed. Only about two weeks or so left! 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

WE ARE SO CLOSE!! They are incredibly fat now. The Mimosa is for sure going to have to come down a little early but I am not sweating it at all, the trichomes are where they need to be so I may loose a little weight but hopefully not any potency. Bubba is for sure going to be the winner of this grow. I can't say enough about this plant. I have pushed it as hard as I can, it took a heat wave that almost knocked me over it was so hot, and never stopped. I am in love with this plant, wish I had taken some clones.

1st Week of Flowering! 28 Aug - first 10am-10pm (12hr) cycle today, having had a shorter light period yesterday to adjust to 10-10. LST’d most plants - reminding ones tomorrow will be done. Drying out pots as felt like was overwatering - will monitor wilting and water tomorrow evening but hopefully won’t suffer too much. High temps with LED’s at 60% intensity today. Turned to 70% tonight as need to lower hanging height having LST’d but didn’t want to upset plants in dark cycle as too late (lights off). Will turn back to 60% and drop to 45cm having seen canopy adjust to LST. 29 Aug - all plants watered w/2ml/L seaweed & 3ml/L flower powerfeed. Learning to control humidity & temps. All progressing. More LST done today but forgot an overall picture! Biscotti Mintz showcasing its strong genetics. 30 Aug - going well! 31 Aug - turned lights from 70-%50 as maybe, maybe(?) too intense…just felt instinctively to do so. No yellowing but don’t look 110%? 1 Sept - all watered w/ 3ml/L liquid feed, 1L each. Also raised lights a little (5cm) to get better coverage. Looking good. 2 Sept - going well. Seems like plants enjoying 50% light @50cm approx. 3 Sept - progressing further. Moved plants 5-10cm closer to tent door so far plant was under light a bit more so more even. Will maybe up light to 60% commencing week 2 of flower tomorrow. Will water tomorrow having top dressed with organic dry medium bloom nutes to help keep P levels up since low in Powerfeed I’m using.

I'm not applying any type of training to this lady,she has performed a big stretch in her first week of flower,looks absolutely gorgeous,sometime she es tress a little with heat. However the super soil she's living in and the lactobacillus liquid I make homemade is helping her so much,it's a pleasure to see her every morning

Buenas shurs después de la poda FIM,las plantas han respondido muy bien excepto sweet skunk que no se si sera por su raza o por que ella simplemente es así pero están muy bien,se ha hecho una selección de clones,las plantas están en 28/32 cm siendo las sweet skunk las más pequeñas a las más altas se les ha repetido la poda FIM cuando termine esta semana comenzaremos la floración,en cuanto a abono todas están deseando de coger aún más nutrientes,veremos la reacción de ellas tras una segunda poda FIM. saludos y dulces humos

Well it was another awesome week for the Kush Fromage!👍Day 49 of Flower and she is putting on some weight. The branches are starting so sag down a little bit😊. Her trichomes are starting to ripen up quite a bit and are about 60-65% cloudy. Looks like she will be done right around the breeders estimated time of ~63 days of Flower and could be harvested a tad bit earlier if wanted, but I am in no rush. I am feeding her the same nutes as last week with the exception of the addition of some unsulphured blackstrap molasses. The smell is starting to change a little bit with a pungent cheese like smell starting to come out Overall just one wicked plant😵 it has it all smell look and serious resin production!! I really can't wait to try the smoke! Thanks for checking out the diary Happy Growing an Plentiful Harvests Everyone🙏

👋Hello, my friend!👋 If You reading this, sign up to my profile, I will be pleased! I download new photos and comments updates every day! It will be nice to walk true this grow of my two Fast Buds 'Banana Purple Punch' auto flowers together! I asking a lot of grow questions and take part in a life of this grow community. New week starts! 🌞28.11.2022 Today I came home and saw my smaller one showing four stigmas in the upper knot. I was afraid of she already starts flowering, but mates from 'Grow questions' made me kalm, answering that she's just showing her gender. It's too early for flowering and thet's how all autos do. Thank You, my friends, You've saved my nerves (as usual). I have watered my girls with full pack of GHE nutrients, including 'GHE Diamond nectar' and 'GHE Mineral magic'. Solution ph: 6.0 Drenage ph: I forgot to drain vater from pot's bottom and after four hours it was gone. So I'll measure it next time. I've done some more LST and sprayed them with 'GHE SeaWeed'. 🌞29.11.2022 Today I asked one more grow question: 'Why all new brunches on my autu flowers has triple fingerd leaves?' Mates told me it's a fault of my substrate Ph and I can do some flushing to fix that. I took one on my girls (#1) and made this procedure deeping a whole pot in a bucket with 10 liters of ph5.9 water. Maybe it's some kind ob a black magic, but it did NOTHING. Inflow: ph5.9 Outflow: ph6.7 Substrate ph after 3 procedures: 6.9 I gave up. I'll not doing this to #2 and let them grow in that cursed substrate till the every end. I made small defoliation after all of this to bouth of my girls. Lowest leaves (first floor) was cut with a brunches growing from it. Also I cuted one fingered leaves of a first week. Results are on downloaded photos. 🌞30.11.2022 Photos downloaded. Mb its my mind tricks itself but I noticed #1 starts growing faster after flushing. It was smaller than #2 and now it's almost the same size and even looks thicker. Tomorrow we'll see it more closely and I'll flush #2 if it's true. I watered #2 with full pack of GHE and sprayed them bough with 'GHE SeeWeed'. Also my BPPa#2 showed her gender today (stigmas on a upper knot). Yep, we have a girl here! 🌞01.12.2022 It's a 'rest day' today. Nothing to wright. (Photos downloaded) 🌞02.12.2022 I made some LST and sprayed my flowers with 'GHE SeaWeed' solution. Substrate ph rised by ph0.1 and now it ph7. It's critical already, especially when my BPPa#1 starts to show stigmas everywhere - almost in every knot. I think pre-flowering starts soon. She looks soft and wobbly, I think there is a deficit of some elements. But my substrate still wet, and I can't do anything. Tomorrow I'll make them both to bath in ph5.5 nutrients solution - and it's only thing I can imagine to do now. Relying on the best, waiting for tomorrow. 🌞03.12.2022 Today I watered both of my plants with 'GHE' nutrients (TriPart + Fulvic acid + Roots stimulator + Selicates) and sprayed 'GHE SeaWeed' on the leaves. Also, I think I finally resolved my cuestion: 'Why ph of substrate don't want to go down?'. I take my water from kitchen crane, it has ~ppm110 and ~ph7.5. But clorine in this regular water slowly makes the reaction with asid I use to low it's ph. And slowly but surely ph of solution rises. I noticed this by making ph5.8 water and waighting 24hrs - ph of solution became 6.7 the next day. My previous grow I used distilled water only and thet's why I didn't know about this problem. It's a pity I made this guess so late. But it's better late then never. From now I will make ~ph5.2 water immediately after watering and it will react till next procedure (2 days). It's ph should rize above 0.9-1.0 by this time and become near ph6.0. I already prepared water for the next feeding - clear, without any nutrients (by now) and ph5.25 on it's start. Today my solution measurements looks like this: - Substrate ph before watering: ~7; - Solution ph: 5.8; - Solution ppm: 680; - Solution EC: 1.1; ... - Substrate ph after watering: ~6.9; - Drenage ph: 6.7; - Drenage ppm: 710; - Drenage EC: 1.03. 🌞04.12.2022 The 'rest day'. My experinent with water ph was sucssessful. Now I know how to treat usual water to feed my flowers correctly. My next grow will be nearly perfect. And also, it's my first (and last) grow using autoflowers seeds. I don't like a grow process ether a future results. Regular flowers are what I can grow the best. So I'll stay on a 'photo' side of a force (after this auto grow ends). Week ends.

Week of fade 😎 Entering the last couple weeks of their lifecycle they’re fading, getting colorful and fat! Smell is insane, keeping temps low now to preserve terpenes and reduce salt build up due to high vpd. Checking trichomes every 2-3 days, aiming for 10-20% amber for my harvest. Stay tuned!

Holy crap can you say rocket ship hahaha. Thing grew over 10" I 7 days. I've only got 6" of grow space left before my light is completely maxed out soooo yea fingers crossed lol. She's got tones of buds growing all over and is looking amazing. She has filled this tent out better then my last few grows in this tent. The temp has been holding around 25 to 26.5 light on the last week and humidity has been jumping back and forth between 50% and 60%. I've jumped up to a gal of water a day plus a extra 500ml every other day for run off. My run off gas been between 50 and 100 above my input so that's good. Plants looking happy so I'm happy Well that's all Happy growing everyone!!!!

Hello Growmies, Here we are at week 17 of flowering with our Northern Lights by Zamnesia, and the excitement is palpable. Let's dive into the updates from this incredible stage of growth. Our Northern Lights is flourishing beyond expectations. The buds are incredibly dense and continue to swell daily. This remarkable growth is a testament to the resilience and genetic quality of the plant.The trichomes are predominantly cloudy now, with a few beginning to turn amber. This is a crucial indicator of maturity and potency, suggesting that harvest time is approaching. The tent's aroma is becoming increasingly potent, a sign of the buds' maturing profile. I'm keeping the tent closed more often now to manage the strong smell. This intense aroma is a clear indicator of the quality and health of our plant. Looking back at the initial issues we faced, it's incredible to see how beautifully our Northern Lights has turned out. Her resilience and our adaptive approach have led to this stunning result. The EC level is now stable at 1.3, and she seems to be responding well to it. Over the next two weeks, I plan to gradually decrease the nutrient levels and then start the flushing process. This gradual transition is essential for the final quality of the buds. Your continuous support and engagement have been pivotal in this journey. Your shared experiences, tips, and encouragement have been invaluable. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and insights as we approach the final stages. Thank you for being part of this adventure. Your involvement has made this journey even more enriching. Stay tuned for more updates as we near the end of this flowering stage. Here's to the continued success and beauty of our Northern Lights!

Mid week update. My cannatrol came in yesterday. I also started a free Gelato 41 seed from NASC on Aug 9th. Unfortunately, not knowing the power of my heating mat, I cooked it. So, onto the free Strawberry Gorilla Autos seed from fastbuds on Aug 12th. Insane growth already. All this being said, this plant is no longer on its own timeline. Trichomes are indicating a possible 2 additional weeks wouldn't hurt, but also, it's in a fair harvesting window. So, as an experiment, I did some high stress training. A very heavy strip. Lower bud sites and very congested areas will get these final few days of light. The plant might show some serious stress either positively or negatively to this method. All the sugar leaves I had removed, (which otherwise would've been compost or trash) and a bud and 2 or 3 small ones, were thrown into the cannnatrol. 4 days of drying and 4 days of curing. Truly, the Strawberry Gorilla is in control of this grow now. If, in 4 days I need the space, the plant will come down. If not, I will let my new toy finish it's cycle and chop the day its done. 8 days from now. Already foxtailing, shall we see if she try to throw nanners and herm? Or will she respond in a manner were in her final days she puts her energy into weight and trichome production? Time will tell...
