Hey folks 2 Nov New week. Last week flew right?. Anyhow weve hada mix of weather this past week. Some really hot 31C temps to milder very rain and cloudy days. The plants are loving it however. Iv decided for the time being to stop using chemical nutes and keep the grow organic, which is why I switched to a handful of bonemeal on the surface of each plant. Will see how they respond. Plant 1 doing really great! Really impressed by this plant. Its also very pretty with pink purple buds and has not once showed any signs of sickness. It just keeps low and bushy and keeps shooting up those buds. They top buds are gradually fattening up nicely as the leaves of the plant become dark green. Plant 2 confuses me a bit. Its in flower alright but the rate of bud produ tion is super slow, and pistil count at 1 time is also low??? Reveging maybe?? Looks very healyhy however Plant 3 almost ready for harvest. Been flushing for a week now, waiting of the final pistils stzge and ambering of trichs before chopping Iv also included some pictures of my growth patch with smaller plants surrounding. An Outdoor SOG??? Till next time growmies Sho/ciao

I'm seeing some definitely fast bud growth this week. Outdoors is keeping right up with indoors. However I didnt put it in the most rich soil and had to top dress with some roots bloom booster and papa's perfect poop. Indoors we have zero issues. The pheno is just killing it! Stinky too. Smelling like chocolate and coffee. She is the darkest in the tent. Easily. Indoors is the untrained pheno and there is a couple dominant colas. Like pine cones. Outdoors I trained this one, and she has golf ball nugs everywhere

Weekly update for these lovely ladies. They've grown and grown since the last update so much I had to raise the greenhouse. Cinder blocks under the frame gave me an extra 16in. They're growing probably a foot of week and still reaching for the stars. I did switch to Athena's Bloom A & B and P&K booster this week giving 5-10ml per gallon. I really couldn't be happier with how they've grown up to this point. All in all Happy Growing.

Hello everyone, The 3 gorilla x white widow is growing fast and every 2 days the pots are dry so i need to water every day from now on. I just finished giving them a good defoliation and removed the internodes. I think the plants need to be transplanted to bigger pots and will try to do that next week. Let's see how they look next week, thanks for stopping by and have a nice week. Best regards, Growfather

In week 7 the 12 plants have filled out the space inside the HOMEBOX grow-tent very nicely and therefore its time to switch to flowering. I change the timer, which I put infront of the supply of my SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs, to 12/12 hours of light/darkness. This will induce the flowering of my babies and they can start to develop buds. The BIO NOVA nutrients work very well, which can be seen in the nice healthy green color of the plants. I follow the SOIL-CULTIVATION chart from the BIO NOVA website, but use only half the recommended dose, because my tap-water already has a very high EC-value of 0,8 when it comes out of the faucet. Since I have used REGULAR seeds for THE PURPS from BC-BUD-DEPOT, I have to check for males on a regular basis. Two plants show clear male pollen-sacks already now (see above in video) and have to be culled right away. I cut the plants off at the main stem right above the soil and take away the plants and throw them into the trash right away. This way I make sure NO pollen can mature inside the male pollen-sacks and be released later and inseminate my babies on accident. In the places of the male PURPS plants, I put a MAC and KK-plant into the AUTOPOT-system, so all 12 placed are filled again. Now its time to wait until the first flowers start to appear. 👍😎

Well she starting to pack on buds and aroma now verry gassy and sweet smell ,love her structure and very easy to grow with very little maintenance,she wants a big feed coming tonight,

Switched lights to 20/4. I overwatered last week and still waiting for soil to dry out a bit before watering again. I will do same low dose feed as last week. This seedling is growing the fastest out of all the seeds I started. I think it’s because she’s in a fast draining seedling mix and I’ve been overwatering everything. She looks happy 😊 Day 17 update: She’s now getting 25ml of water a day and she’s 6cm. I’m feeding full calmag and half growth dose. Added an oscillating fan to the tent yesterday to make her vibrate. Kinda wish I planted her in a bigger pot now but I’m going to leave her alone and see what she can do.

Prepared the soil 12 days ago and prepared the pots at the day i put the seeds into glass of water. I used 50% Dope Light and 50% Coco as light mix for the top layer I used 50% Dope Soil and 50% Reused Soild + Additives to reactivate my old soil.

Hello everyone, Week 5 is going okay i gave her a good haircut 💇‍♀️ removed leaves and internodes and made a video that refuses to upload tried many times but kept getting the error notification. I will switch to flower in week 7 i need her to develop more roots. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Growfather

Obvesvacion por Maceta. Maceta 1: Mucha altura y poca expancion laterales, los cobollos se ven con ojitas muy chicas y definidas, no son tan gordos y comprimidos. Satisfecho. 😃 Maceta 2: Creo que tuvo un desarrollo como espere, con cobollos lindos por el medio y una punta imponente, ¿puede que podia ser mejor? no lo se. MUY satisfecho. 😄 Maceta 3: Fue Historia. Maceta 4: Petiza, con su unica punta que es igual al cobollo a mediana altura de la maceta 2, puede que haya sido el sustrato ya que tanto la maceta 3 como esta 4 crecieron de igual manera, poco desarroyo, mismos cuidados que las demas. Por ovias razones la regaba menos ya que no consumia tanto y deje de darle productos ya que no lo veia necesario. Decepcionado. 😑 Ahora voy a Cosechar. 😎

La amnesia tiene una flora extraña pero linda. Muchos cogollitos por todos lados. Largas colas. Por suerte se está recuperando de la quemadura de las luces. 27/04 Se riega con 2.5 litros de agua + calmag + top auto. PH:5.5 EC:0.9 30/04 se riega con 2,5 L de agua + biopotenciador, 1g x L. PH:6.0 EC 1.0

The 2nd week was great for the plants. Specially Banana Purple Punch and Forbidden Runtz They stretched and grow without no problem. I'm excited for week 3. I LST them, I did some defoliation and they got fed with Goldleaf feterlizer and I added mycos chum and cal-mag to the mix. Let see how they do.

Stretch 10 centimètres Jour52 légère defolliation et arrosage avec deux litres d'eau ph6.3 Petit rappel sur le meilleur cycle de lumière pour les autofloraisons QUEL EST LE PLANNING LUMINEUX OPTIMAL ? Le cannabis à autofloraison peut survivre avec à peine 5 heures de lumière du soleil par jour. Mais si vous voulez que vos plants s’épanouissent, atteignent le pic de leur puissance et produisent une lourde récolte, ils ont besoin d’au moins 18 heures de lumière par jour. Le planning optimal de lumière pour la culture en intérieur du cannabis à autofloraison est un 20-4 constant pendant tout le cycle de vie. Bien entendu, des plannings de 18-6, 20-2 et 24 heures non-stop ont tous leurs avantages, mais nous avons obtenu les meilleurs résultats avec le planning 20-4. Les cultivateurs en extérieur peuvent potentiellement lancer la culture dès le printemps. Cependant, nous recommandons toujours de faire germer les graines et de cultiver les jeunes pousses en intérieur sous des lampes artificielles pendant une semaine ou deux pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats. Nous parlerons des options en extérieur plus en détail un peu plus bas. LE CYCLE DE VIE DU CANNABIS À AUTOFLORAISON La plus grande différence entre le cannabis à photopériode et à autofloraison est que l’horloge tourne pour une auto dès le moment où la coque de la graine s’ouvre. Le cycle de vie post-germination de la grande majorité des variétés à autofloraison modernes est de 8-12 semaines au total. Au contraire des variétés à photopériode, les autos n’ont pas besoin du planning lumineux courant 12-12 pour faire la transition vers la floraison. Une variété à autofloraison progressera dans son cycle de vie indifféremment du cycle jour-nuit. CROISSANCE VÉGÉTATIVE ACCÉLÉRÉE Il est presque impossible de délimiter la phase de la jeune pousse de la croissance végétale avec les variétés à autofloraison de nos jours. De plus, en 30 jours, la plupart exploseront soudainement en phase de floraison. Donner aux autos un bon départ, solide et sain est un facteur critique pour une culture réussie. Beaucoup de choses peuvent se passer pendant une semaine avec un hybride à autofloraison vigoureux en culture. Il n’y a pas non plus beaucoup de temps pour la transplantation. Nous recommandons d’utiliser notre kit de germination ou de planter directement dans les premiers et derniers récipients dès le début. Des pots/récipients en plastique de 10-20 L avec de nombreux trous de drainage au fond sont parfaits. Les Air-Pots sont encore mieux. Beaucoup de cultivateur découvrent à leurs dépens que les petits pots ne sont pas durables pour les hybrides autos modernes plus grands. Préparez-vous à devoir ajuster quotidiennement votre lampe de culture pour éviter de brûler le feuillage. De plus, tout comme les variétés à photopériode, les conditions environnementales optimales pour les jeunes plants à autofloraison sont des températures entre 20 et 25 °C et une HR dans une fourchette de 50-70 %. En outre, les besoins en nutriments seront considérablement plus faibles que les variétés à photopériode. Il n’y a donc aucune bonne raison de ne pas cultiver bio. Généralement, les autos préfèrent avoir un milieu de culture légèrement fertilisé et bien aéré. Les terreaux légers et/ou le coco sont des substrats fortement recommandés. La plupart des cultivateurs préfèrent des lampes CFL blanc chaud, LED et MH pour la courte période végétative. Cependant, les lampes HPS à double spectre sont tout aussi efficaces et probablement plus pratiques à utiliser. FLORAISON RAPIDE ET FÉROCE Dès que vous pouvez voir les pistils pousser à partir des premières fleurs, vous pouvez vous dire qu’en 45-60 jours, les plants finiront le cycle de floraison et seront prêts à la récolte. Que vous soyez prêt ou non. Mais vous serez prêt, car vous aurez fait les ajustements nécessaires en temps et en heure. Les apports en engrais de croissance végétative à un dosage faible à moyen seront remplacés par des nutriments pour la floraison et des doses appropriés de compléments et boosters de floraison. Une fois de plus, un régime alimentaire spartiate est recommandé. Pas besoin de changer le planning des lampes, car vous allez suivre votre planning originel jusqu’à la récolte. Mais il faudra vous assurer que les températures ne dépassent pas les 28 °C et vous devez réduire votre HR vers une fourchette plus basse de 40-60 %. Les plants vont s’étirer à des degrés divers. Quoi qu’il en soit, vous devez faire attention et toujours maintenir une distance optimale entre la lampe et la canopée. Un ensemble de cordages ou de crochets réglables rendront la tâche bien plus aisée. Ne vous imaginez pas que toutes les autos développeront une structure courte de buisson, à moins que le sélectionneur ne donne des données qui le suggèrent. Naturellement, les deux dernières semaines de floraison devraient être réservées à un rinçage en profondeur du milieu. De l’eau pure, ou une solution de rinçage légère fonctionneront très bien. Quand la majorité des poils ou pistils sur les fleurs auront changé du blanc à l’orange/rouge, vous devriez passer au rinçage. Ne sautez pas cette étape finale critique. Vous méritez les fleurs les plus savoureuses, sans contamination. COMMENT LES AUTOS RÉPONDRONT AUX TECHNIQUES DE TAILLE ET DE PALISSAGE ? La réponse courte : très bien ! La plupart des variétés à autofloraison de nouvelle génération répondront très positivement au LST. Et tant que vous taillez tôt, l’étêtage et le fimming peuvent multiplier les tiges de têtes et en plus booster les rendements. De plus, la méthode ScrOG peut être combinée avec toutes ces techniques pour un rendement maximum. Cependant, la culture à grand volume utilisant la méthode SOG est probablement le style de culture le plus populaire à présent. Un nombre croissant de cultivateurs d’autos expérimentent avec les mêmes pratiques courantes de taille et de palissage à haut rendement que les cultivateurs de cannabis à photopériode utilisent. Les cultivateurs débutants ne devraient probablement pas se lancer dans une taille ou un palissage intensif ou excessif avant d’avoir de l’expérience. Cependant, plier un peu les pointes de croissance pour créer une canopée plus plate ne peut pas nuire aux rendements. De même, une défoliation minimale pour augmenter la pénétration lumineuse ne stressera probablement pas des plants en bonne santé, tant que vous vous limitez à l’élimination des grosses feuilles nourricières qui font de l’ombre aux sites de floraison. May the force be with you 💪

Everything's doing great, the ladies are healthy and growing faster and faster!

Hello Diary, The third week of vegetation has ended, which is also the beginning of flowering. As you can see in the photos, Milky Way has started to form flowers which is normal for automatics after 3 weeks of vegetation. Milky Way is developing nicely, it grew about 10 cm in a week and got a lot of new leaves. The bright spots that were on some of the leaves have disappeared, which is good news. I started to feel a slight smell, which also makes me happy :). This week I also did minimal defoliation, I removed only the lowest leaves to make it easier to water and improve the air flow through the plant itself. When it comes to watering, it is not frequent, about every 4 days. This week I added one tablet of Easy Grow Booster. The conditions on the farm are excellent I would say, the temperature is around 26 degrees while the humidity is around 50%. Here's how it looked this week. 16/05/2023 - Day 17. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 and dissolved one Easy Grow tablet and with that amount of water I watered all three plants equally. 19/05/2023 - Day 20. First, I did a minimal defoliation, removing only the bottom leaves to make watering easier and improve air flow through the plant a bit. After that I watered all three plants. 20/05/2023 - Day 21. Measuring the height of the plants and taking photos at the end of the third week. Milky Way F1 - 27 cm. That's all for this week, see you soon. Thank you all for your support and comments.

24 Oct 2021 Week 16 began yesterday, but the first watering of the week was today. I’m keeping up with the flush, starting the 2nd week today. Hopefully I’ll be able to harvest in a few days. My Trio is looking really lovely. Their buds are covered in trichomes that glisten under the lights. They are starting to darken in color in some areas like their mother did. They may take on some pinkish/purple hues before it’s all done. Some of their leaves are turning purple as well. The sugar leaves are somewhat dark, but still green. All three of them are very nice to look at, and their smell is super strong! It’s really nice in my grow room! Yesterday I went out and got some more of those support sticks from the local home store and provided support for all of the branches that needed it. Which was a lot! I got 7 new support sticks and used them all. All of the branches are now supported and flourishing! Today each of my girls received a gallon of properly pH’ed water, and each had a sufficient amount of runoff from which to gather measurements. The process went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3’s initial pH was 6.8. I added .2ml of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH to 6.4 for C1, and 6.3 for C2 and C3. TDS going in was 88 ppm for C1, 86 ppm for C2, and 84 ppm for C3. Runoff measurements were a little weird. The runoff pH for C1 was 5.9. The TDS was (at first) 600 ppm. I thought that was an incredible drop from the other day, so I did it again. It was 603 ppm the second time. Ok, moving along nicely! The runoff for C2 was pH - 5.8, and TDS was 1101 ppm. 😳 That’s a lot more than C1. C3 had a pH of 5.6, and TDS of 1212 ppm. Which is even more; so I measured a little more from C1 again, and the 3rd time it measured 736 ppm. 🤔 That seems weird to me, but I’ll keep an eye on it. If it continues to be that low then I will end up harvesting it before the others which won’t be so terrible. I’ll just have to wait and see. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 47%. My ladies are looking lovely and growing better than I could have hoped for. This grow has been awesome, but I can’t wait to be done. Happy growing everyone! 27 Oct 2021 Feeding/flushing time again! I was somewhat perplexed the other day when I got the runoff reading for the TDS in C1. It was 500-600 ppm less than C2 & C3 respectively. Since I was having some issues with the TDS meter I thought that IT may be the cause. I made a note to check on it today, and there seems to be no problem with the TDS meter at all. Keep reading for details. My plants are still looking as lovely as I could ever have hoped for! C1 has started showing more color changes than the other 2, and the only thing I can say the difference is, is that I defoliated some of C1’s larger fan leaves last week, and wasn’t able to do the same for the other 2. That is the ONLY thing I can think of that has been different between all 3 plants this entire grow. Regardless, all 3 plants are looking wonderful! Today each of my lovely ladies received a gallon of property pH’ed water with an expected amount of runoff for testing. The preparation went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3 was at 7.0. I added 0.2ml’s of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH of all 3 gallons to 6.3. TDS going in for C1 & C2 was 85 ppm, and C3 was 84 ppm. Runoff levels were different for all three plants. C2’s runoff pH was 5.7, and TDS was 1041 ppm. C3’s pH was 5.6, and TDS was 1059 ppm. Last time C1 was significantly lower than the others, and I thought that maybe it was a TDS meter issue. Evidently it wasn’t. C1’s TDS today was 526 ppm! 😳 still much lower than the others, and pretty much ready for harvest. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 43%. Although harvest time is much closer, I don’t believe it will be done in time for this month’s grow diary of the month contest. So sad, but that’s life. Happy growing everyone! See you again soon. 29 Oct 2021 Today is the last day of week 16. I was planning on continuing the flush today, but remembered something that I had forgotten about…. I remembered the branch that had broken off of C1 back on October 10th in week 14. She had held on for well over a week in a can of water, but finally her leaves started to droop. I hung it up all by itself in my small tent to dry. Until today that is! I took it outside and trimmed it on my deck. Even outside, in a pleasant breeze, the amazing smell of this branch was easily detected. It’s kind of windy, rainy, and chilly here today, but still …. That sweet blueberry muffin smell was there. Her buds; still covered in the dried, crystallized trichomes were super sticky! I must admit that they are the stickiest buds I have grown to date. I weighed the dry bud to add to the grand total of C1’s harvest later. Then I ground it up and smoked it. All I am going to say is that from my reaction to smoking it; I have decided that no additional flushing is needed. After all, what I smoked today broke right before I started flushing, and I could taste nothing other than what I would hope to taste. So my fellow Growmies; I am ending this week right here. The next report you will see will be the harvest report!! Stay tuned!
