well, another week and just watering as needed, it should have yielded a lot more this strain is also not known from a local seed bank but no problem. I think the temperature, because I spent most of it being very hot, didn't let them grow, well, but I'm already starting another cycle and soon I'll start posting more here in another grow =D

🌱 **Week 8 of my Orange Bud Car - An incredible trip! **🌈 We have reached the **eighth week** of growth of my beloved Orange Bud Auto and, let me tell you, the route was nothing short of extraordinary! 🚀 ### 🌞 **Wedding light with PHLIZON FD8000! ** 💡 In this crucial phase, the **1000W** PHLIZON FD8000** lamp proved to be my best ally. 🌟 Thanks to its power and full-spectrum lighting, I noticed a significant increase in the rate of photosynthesis. My plants have developed wider and healthier leaves, with an intense green that makes them shine like precious gems! 💚 ### ⚡ **Heat Management: The key to success! **🔥 One thing I learned is how important heat management is. Thanks to the good balance of the temperature that the PHLIZON manages to maintain, I had no problems with overheating. I set the lamp at a distance of **60 cm** from the plants and used a strategic fan to maintain perfect air circulation. My friends wouldn't believe me, but I almost heard the plants applaud for the freshness! ### 🌿 **Nutrition: the secret of health! ** 🥇 Let's move on to the **nutrition** chapter! The **Advanced Nutrients** line has really transformed my cultivation routine. In particular, the **Cal-Mag** played a crucial role in addressing any nutrient deficiencies. I have administered Cal-Mag during the last few weeks, noticing a noticeable improvement in the appearance and robustness of the leaves. 🌳 They look sleek and vibrant, and my shoots look more vigorous than ever! 💪 ### 🔄 **Set up upgrade: a choice that paid off! ** ⚙️ Speaking of changes, my recent set up upgrade had a significant impact. I replaced the old fans with quieter and more efficient models, ensuring the right air flow without disturbing my evening relaxation in the grow room. And if you're wondering if the cost is worth the candle: absolutely yes! ✨ ### ❓ **Request for advice: control units for temperature control! ** 🛠️ At this point, I turn to you, illustrious growers! I really need some suggestions on **temperature control control controls**. I'm considering different models to handle fans, extractors and heaters, but I want something that works well and, of course, that is reasonable in price. What experiences have you had? Share your pearls of wisdom! 💬 ### 🌼 **Looking to the future! ** 🔍 I am extremely curious to see how the growth of my plants will continue in the coming weeks. The buds are beginning to form, promising a harvest that promises to be spectacular. The energy is palpable and I can't wait to document every step of this trip. 🌿✨

Day 86 - Major training session on both ladies today. Things were getting too crowded with 4 photos (80+ days veg) and 2 autoflowers that both seem to have around a month left in them. Topped all upper branches and stripped most of the undergrowth, leaving only 2-3 nodes on every branch. Took me over an hour to do all four plants but in the end tings look much better in the tent. Now onto a hopefully short recovery on all plants. Day 89 - Maria is showing signs of recovery from last training session. All new growth is lush and green. She takes training very well and always recovered relatively fast from anything done on her. Loving this pheno. Juanita is a complete different story. She does not like topping, she does not like leaf stripping, she does not like node stripping. Pushing new growth but not as nice as I would like her to be...

This was the last week for the Cookies Gelato. They've turned purple. Weather is not that great anymore, and I want to avoid more budrot, so I had to chop them down 😛

Okkkkkkkay, i fucked up a little over the past weeks but sometimes keeping everything together is hard. But I managed to fix her, fresh water change, new nutrients and new Training so she can spread a little wider and also gave her a little trim. So pH is 5.5-5.8 DLI is at 30. i wanted to turn it down a little because she was looking really sad. but she is finally recovering, new growth is a nice green color. Having her this long in veg is really weird haha

This Gorilla, has went ape. All I need to do now, is nurse it to harvest, to get bigger buds,I want dense nuggets. But more than having nuggets, I need it’s potency to be on deadly level, I want smokers to crash after smoking. Or I would only get that if I was growing Gorilla Glue.

I switched them to 12/12 four days ago so I’ve let them do their thing for most of the week. Today they were defoliated and any suckers with no chance of making the net were removed. The canopy was getting dense and humid with the large fan leaves the 8 ball produces. I’ll do this again at the end of the 3rd week flowering. All the training has finished now. This strain doesn’t stretch much at all so I’m letting them come up and gain some height. Any LST done from now on will be to keep things in check. Happy growing.

The first seed didn't make it :( so this is the 2nd attempt, with Seedsman critical+ 2.0 😎

Runtz Clones HUNTED from seeds

An diesem Grow will ich beobachten, was schlussendlich die bessere Methode ist (TOPPING , VS FIMMING) Alle 4 Pflanzen sind gut in die 3 Woche gekommen. 2 Pflanzen sind ein wenig kleiner geraten als die anderen beiden, deshalb habe ich die zwei kleineren Pflanzen in zwei 11 L Töpfe gepflanzt wo sie bis zum Ende bleiben. SONNTAG: Heute wurden die beiden größeren Ladys gefimmt, die zwei kleineren wurden getoppt. Eine von den größeren Ladys habe ein bisschen mehr gewellt. Die habe ich einwenig entlaubt da ich nach der zweiwöchigen Pause mit LST weiter machen will. Ich bin voller Hoffnung das alle meine Babys das Training heile überstehen, drückt die Daumen.😁 MONTAG:

Shaping up to be a beautiful fat bud wielding plant.

Not sure what's up with the 2 plants I decided to do this journal with. As my luck would go they are 2 of 3 critical purples that absolutely refuse to flower..Here is a side by side picture of what i mean. I have 5 of this strain and x3 are acting like any other photo I've grown. I took the liberty of super-cropping the 3 I mentioned, however my Gorilla Glue/GWS and x2 of the CP all seem on track and starting to stack up :) *DAY 64 - Deer or rabbits.... after my initial panic I discovered that they weren't hurt too badly

Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. Man have these plants taken off. Man what a stretch. I've only seen sativa's grow this tall this fast. Some of these plants have 6 inches between leaf nodes. Wow. Got to get in here this week and do my final trim/prune. Paying attention to taking off the sucker branches, Opening up the middle for better air flow. And taking off some top fanleaves off for better light penetration. And putting another string around them to hold them together. They are getting tall. It's pretty damp around here, got all sorts of mushrooms growing out of the ground around here. Don't know what they are. And I'm not going to eat them. Took one, of the large brown ones to the mushroom club a few years ago and he said it's no good to eat. Won't kill you but you'll be sitting on the can for a while. It's been time for my 3 1/2 year cancer check up. Went to the ENT doctor yesterday. She couldn't find anything to be concerned about and I feel fine. Get another app. in 6 months. April. then not another for a year before they finally clear me to say cancer free. Still taking my RSO at 1/2 strength these days. .5 g a day. Feel Fine. 😃 Showed around my main grow room in the video. I'm not doing a diary on these plants but want to show you my best plants. Got some fungus gnats flying around. Was gnat free all summer, but they came in, in the fall. Got some nematodes from Amazon but the package seemed dry when I opened it. Don't know if any nematodes were still alive in the bags, but I mixed it up in water and applied it to the roots. So we'll see. Probably old stock. Been sitting 1/2 the summer in the warehouse heat. 😒 Got my seeds picked out for the next diary. (see pics) I've got room for, and I think I'll do 16 plants, to find the best/strongest one. I'm growing indicia's for my cancer, but I really love/miss sativa's. So I'm going to try this one. The description sound great. Up to 36% ( hope I get close) and tastes of pineapple and lemon. OK. Be Great, Out There. Chuck.

Looks amazing, absolutely smells amazing can not wait to taste

She got more voodoo and gave a little dose of recharge and kelp. just a taste. lol

Switched all plants in this tent to 12/12 mostly because i need to know the sex of these plants. So far nothing but it could take a bit- the GWS are autos and loving the switch. Otherwise not too much to report back on this week. jan 12 still no sign on sex yet

Insane purples lots of color super fruit Berry smell on the iced wildberry super hard diesel smell with a hint of citrus on the nana glue love both phenos!
