Soaked and cup of water for about 18 hours and then took out putting my paper towel and bag and put in dark spot until sprouted sprouted approximately 18 hours after was put in bag mix bucket of soil inoculated and planted so seed and put dome on it and put in grow area doing 18 and 6 for the whole grow but will be utilizing outdoor sunlight and the rest of the time will be in the grow tent trying something new

Buongiorno amici! Cosa ne dite, ci siamo? È arrivato il momento di raccogliere? 😍💚🍒🤪 ... O meglio aspettare qualche foglia grande che diventa gialla?

Lovely growth on the buds this week. Struggling to smell at the moment due to my filter but once out of the tent it is smelling beautiful

This little girl started her journey on April 4th with germination into a water glass and finished up on June 27/20 – Day 78 from germination. She was a fun grow and was very resilient through the whole run. She spent most of her grow time in a 20/4 light schedule. She formed nice frost levels and stayed to a very nice and manageable height of roughly 20” tall without topping or bending her main stem. She was not as fussy about nutrient levels and took them well. She does like her medium on the dryer side though. Small little auto bush of OG Kush crossed with Indica genes😃 She would make a nice a plant to run while you are vegging out some photos for 6 or 8 weeks as she is not very big in size but will swell up and yield decent weight👍 She was grown in a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco coir and maybe 15% perlite. She was fed salt based nutrients……..so sorry but they are flushed out and that is what I am more comfortable with. Focus on the early growth with microbes, fungi and kelp!! She was fed the normal pattern with pH being held around the 5.4 to 5.8 range in feeding. Then as flower approached, I gave the pots a more consistent look at the runoff numbers and she was running 7.8pH coming out of her!!!!! WTF. She stayed in her pot that she was planted in and fought this issue all through the rest of her grow. The pH issues started surfacing around week 3….as we headed into flower of course. Scratching my head for weeks, I ultimately didn’t change anything other than really low pH feeding going in…….below 4 idea. For weeks she had 3.9 water going in and still getting 7.8 running off. I initially felt it was related to cheap fabric bags so I cut slits in the very bottom of the bags that stayed and tried transplanting other girls into plastic pots, which it can be fabric pot issues but I am not as convinced anymore for this run that there was an issue there, wasn’t sure about giving her Magnesium on top of Magnesium and therefore did I mess her up good on the inside early on in week 2 idea, out of options I changed back to RO water and that seems to have solved my issues……I was using tap water that was not filtered this run🤬 The pH was high so that was adjusted but with the ppm being at 185 to 200 range I chose not to buy a filter and just dechlorinated the water only. I was tired of lugging 5 gallon water bottles in and out of the basement😃 That is a difference from all other grows…..silly for not catching this by week 4! So…….back to lugging bottles in and out of the basement😂😂😂 She really started to take shape around weeks 7 and 8 and formed a beautiful little cannabis plant and grew to 20” tall and roughly 18” wide. Main focus with her was to just perform LST on side branches and let the top go…….I wanted to just let her go and see what would happen to her main cola for size and height……plus I don’t do that…….I always bend over the tops on my grows so this was a little different for myself. She grew very nice leaves and a lot of them. This pheno had a lot of leaves to her and that is fine……its not really my first choice in characteristics of a plant though..…..so much more work at trim time……Green Poison XL Auto, SWS71, was a dream to trim👍 as a comparison!! She didn’t fox tail very much she firmed up her buds towards the end. The resin production was a little slower coming out in her but by week 7/8 she was getting pretty impressive😋😋😋 White and sticky!! She smelt of woods with citrus notes…..works for me👌 There were no issues at all retaliated to pests or bugs……I threw in a couple sticky traps but there weren’t any to catch. She handled the high humidity in this run great and there were no signs of any powdery mildew👍👍👍 She is a very stable strain from Sweet Seeds! Day 63 was last feeding, flushed for almost two weeks. Rezin and Liquid Weight still given for one of the weeks but the last week was plane water. In hind-site I think I should have hit her with some Flawless Finish to help get that last bit out of her. She did feed on most of her nutrients but some of the lower leaves were still more green that I would have liked. She was cut down on day 77…..11 weeks is about what I suspect looking at her in week 7…….this was roughly 8 weeks flower time……makes sense😃 She grew for 75 days and then I decided what the heck…….she needs a hole in her stem to stress her out😃 I didn’t try breaking a branch but rather drilled a hold into the base of her stem……something new to try out. I think I will try more holes next time….max 3 I think……then I want to run a couple with cracking their stems and see if there is a difference👍 I feel more in control of a drill and its accuracy vs bending branches and they snap where they want to…….anyway it was worth a try!!!! Worst case, it made it easy to hang her as a whole plant to dry😃 This girl battled pH issues all her life and as a result the buds were not where I would have liked them. There were not fluffy…..but here were not as hard as I would like for rolling joints, so the whole girl went to concentrates She dried for 7 day as a whole plant, 2 days more in smaller branches, then 1 day curing in jars before dry ice sift. She yielded 74g of dry cured buds, 2.65 ounces. Not bad…..I don’t think her buds would have gotten a lot bigger but they certainly would have had more weight if they firmed up…..grower issue, not genetics. So…..lets make some rosin from this girl🤩 The yields on this and making her hash a perfect colour are not what this process is about…..let’s get that out of the way right away……this is about another way to enjoy and consume my cannabis for my own relaxation and medicinal needs. Taking pictures of rosin is always a challenge…..it is always dark in the pictures unless you are using a nice DSLR to let more light in. Rather than making bubble hash with water, I just used the bags to make a dry ice kief from the buds. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a block of dry ice and had to use these cubes…….don’t like these as much because there are too many surfaces beating your green plant material and your kief goes green before long when shaking. Could have done it with out ice all together…..nicer hash but lots left on the plant afterwards that way so yield is low. Used two bags in this extraction, the 220 as the bag for edibles and the 120 as the bag for pressing rosin to smoke…..dry ice hash rosin!! The yield on this from the 74g of bud was 22.4g kief. 220 bag was 12.6g and the 120 bag was 9.8g. Not great I guess but I didn’t want to keep going for 4 and 5 minutes with the bags…..these were roughly 2 minutes with the 220 being 3 minutes on the high side. You can certainly see that the 120 product is more golden in colour than the 220 but since I didn’t crazy, the 220 is still a very nice colour. Last step on this journey was then to take the kief and make our rosin. I pressed product using 37um bags with the temp set at 160 degrees. All were done the same for the most part……roughly 4 gram presses, the same temperature, and the time. The first presses were 90 to 120 seconds. If a second press was done on the pouch, then it was at the same temp but for only 40 to 50 seconds. The yield on this was just shy of 7 grams…….6.77g…..roughly 30% yield from Kief???,…..roughly 9.2% from flower???…….would have likely done better right from flower😂 😂 😂 it was fun, regardless of the yield😃 Tasty rosin!!!! Can’t beat rosin for getting the true tastes of the plants. These numbers are absolutely due to my abilities with extraction.......sure don’t judge the genetics based on my returns......she is a frosty plant and will give great returns!!!👍👍 Several pictures show that, I hope!! So that will wrap up this diary for Sweet Seeds Killer Kush Auto, SWS56. Certainly give this girl some consideration if you like OG Kush and also have space concerns in your grow. She is beautiful frosty little girl with a punch. Certainly get the usual woody and citrus notes from her rosin and she has a lasting high. She helps to get get you going and willing to finally start cleaning that corner of the room you have been avoiding…….watch out though…..distractions😃……next thing you know 40 minutes go by and you are staring at a box of DVD’s wondering what happened to CD’s…….cassette tapes (the art of the “mix tape”), 8 tracks, vinyl……ALBUM COVER ART Baby!!!!!! Then its either back for another rip, or get your crap done because the next rip leads into even less work getting done😃😃 Great job as usual @Sweet_Seeds !!! Looking forward to the next one……Cream 47 photoperiod……actually, already done germination and a new diary coming👍👍…..compare a 3 gal pot to a 5 gal pot, or a fabric vs air pot, and see what my yield differences are?? Thanks for the read and greatly appreciate the comments Growmies!!!!! Love spending time on a forum for growers to help fellow growers. Much grower love and thanks again for your time, opinions, and suggestions🙏🙏🙏 Cheers!!

8/19 (Day 63) - Pretty normal/typical today. Have just been monitoring since the defoliation a few days ago. Environment has been stable, stay around 78/79 degrees during the day and around 73 at night. Humidity fluctuates between 55-60 RH. PH stays 5.8/5.9. I did accidentally feed a bit much and have been watering with just RO water and they have been drinking fine, a few deficiencies and I also lowered my light power by 10%. I may end up changing the res and water tomorrow just because I did mix my nutrients a little hot by accident and took me a few days to notice. Everything is looking pretty good thus far and we are getting closer to finishing! Pretty pleased with my first grow but excited for the second because I have more knowledge and have a few things that im going to correct and do differently. Will be updating throughout the week. Thanks for looking. 8/20 (Day 64) - Decided to just ride out and keep topping the res with RO water, Calmag, and Rootdrip. I think I added too much Calmag last week trying to correct the calcium deficiency I was seeing. Girls are drinking just fine and not showing any real issues. Everything is stays in check. Tomorrow is water and nute change. 8/21 (Day 65)- Woke up early and got the everything pumped out and fresh water and nutrients back in. Definitely over did it on the calmag last week by mistake but doesn't look like any real harm done. Roots and plants are looking good and getting big! All the plants seem at slightly different stages in flower though, not sure if its something ive done or just differences in plants genetically. All conditions are in check and gonna continue to watch them hopefully keep fattening up! As always, tips and recommendations always appreciated!

A little more than a week update. Two big girls are happy. Flowers are still ripening and putting on some weight finally. I don’t own a scope but it’s still early. Some males were pulled out of the smaller ones, and more from veg were put in their place. Veg box is down to three pots now. The clone, the og lemon x cupcake, and 5 more unknowns. Sprouting another round. I don’t want to put the two big girls in veg into the tent, however I will be forced to once these two big girls are done. A sad but exciting day it will be. More to come.

Day 51 20/08/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. With Plagron PK13-14 and power buds. Noticing the stretch stop, and now packing out there bud sites 💪💚 Day 54 23/08/24 Friday Watering only today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, I'm watering in 350ml no run off. 400ml I'm seeing tiny run off. Day 56 25/08/24 Sunday Water today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Added bud candy and rhino skin 1ml per litre.

right now I'm just waiting on some pollen sacks and some pollen but other than that plant looks healthy as we can see and I also changed my lights and my schedule to 12/12 . Feeding big bloom and tiger bloom with a lil secret ingredient and lots of bat poo noticed a seed think we talked about that before looks like imma plant this seed if my pollen sacks don't kick in on time which time is almost up.al I'm also waiting on my crystal to start forming I see it coming In but has a few weeks to fully brighten up the night recording

Beginning of week.. I raised the lights a little.. They are at 50% power at 18" (roughly) from the plants. The ladies are getting from 420 to 500 PPFD. Went ahead and fed them some extra FloraMicro this week.. I'm guessing they are just very hungry girls.. And I'm thinking the pH in the rootzone issue is not clearing up at all.. BUT.. It seems like no matter what pH I water them with.. The runoff ALWAYS comes out at 5.8 or 5.9 with the Mandarin Cookies and 5.8 or 5.7 with the ETHOS Cookies.. So if you want to reuse your coco coir.. Make sure to remove ALL the roots. The girls dont look too bad at all.. And that's why I'm guessing they just needed more nutes in the mix.. We shall see how this week goes! Mid week.. They are looking alot better! Mandarin Cookies is exploding woth growth.. ETHOS Cookies is growing slow but she is growing for sure.. I think I may need to remove a node or 2 on the ETHOS Cookies.. I could just leave it.. But the very top 2 are covering alot of tops.. I could make some clones from it.. Hmm.. All-in-all.. I'm happy with how these girls are growing for now tho.. This rootzone issue isnt going away.. But I think I found a way to make it work out.. I've been watering a little differently.. Here is a bit of an example: Day 1: Feed at 6.5 Day 3: Water at 6.4 Day 5: Feed at 6.3 Day 7: Water at 6.2 Day 9: Feed at 6.5 Day 11: Water at 6.4 Day 13: Feed at 6.3 Day 15: Water at 6.2 Etc... The runoff is staying above 5.5 each time.. But as I lower the pH, the runoff pH lowers as well (obviously).. So I think watering this way has helped keep these gorgeous ladies happy.. And theyare also very hungry.. I may have to start watering one plant every other day.. Water plant 1 tomo.. Water plant 2 the next day.. Then plant 1 the next day and then plant 2 the next day etc... 1 reason I want to start doing it that way is because I think the ETHOS Cookies isn't needing as much nutes as the Mandarin Cookies.. But they are looking great. Very happy and so are they! The heat has been insane lately.. So at the hottest part of the day I try to just turn the light down to 25% for 4 hours or so.. I hate having to do that.. But it's all I can do for now.. Or maybe change the light/dark hours.. Blah.. Whatever, they are happy! End of week.. I supercropped 2 branches.. They pretty much healed up and are already back to normal.. Like it didnt bring them down any lower at all lol.. It straightened back up and its as if nothing happened.. Just a big ass (MOOSE) knuckle lol.. But I stopped using the Kushie Kush and was just using the normal Gen Hydro FloraBloom in the mix. Will be upping the FloraGro next week! Wow.. Such hungry ladies! It's been so long since I've grown a bigger photo period.. I forgot how much they can take!.. On to the next!...

Harvest report for Ak47. Breaking ground to harvest was 91 days. Wet weight was 288 grams Dry weight =49g Power used for 13 weeks. 268.1Kw used on lighting. £80.43 at £0.30 a Kw Average 2.946 Kw a day =147 Watts power an hour during lights on. Dry weight from this grow. #1 49g #2 37g #3 46g #4 39g #5 51g #6 52g Total 273g True g/W 273÷147=1.85g/W This was one great grow and there are a few strains I'm really considering running again straight away. This strain is one that I want to grow again but give her a bigger pot. She has grown decent solid buds. One thing I have learnt during this grow is that the idea of cramming 9 autos into my tent was a stupid idea and trialling it with 6 plants was wise.

She is a beast and is loving life. Lst her and popped back after an hour. Topping her tonight as she’s going to handle it with her big root system now. Gave her some charge top feed to get her through the next few weeks of heavy training. Topped her the day after lst. Was a bit nervous as it was my first time topping. Went well and looking forward to the next week of growth.

Dernière semaine de croissance. Changement de solution fait le dimanche 22/11 car le ph commençait à descendre en dessous de 6.2 et cela faisait 1 semaine que j'avais fais le précèdent changement. Le PH lors du changement était de 6,8. Il est monté jusqu'à 7.5 mais je laisse le filtre faire son oeuvre. Il est actuellement à 7.1 et continue de descendre naturellement. carence en fer. Ajout d'une dose supplémentaire de Sensi CalMg Edit au 25 : Malheureusement ce que je sentais venir est arrivé, saturation en N. Le Ph et l'EC continuaient de baisser tous les deux. Les parties basses des plantes étant sombre et ayant une carence en fer sur la partie haute (puisque élément mobile), j'en ai déduit que c'était une carence en fer induite par une surfertilisation en N. J'étais à un EC de 1, je suis revenu à 0,8 le mardi 25 au soir. La bioponie est très capricieuse au niveau de l'azote. Le mercredi 26 le ph remonte ce qui signifie qu'on a stopé le processus de dégradation du N. Je devrais changer la solution mais je dois passer bientôt en flo donc j'ai enlevé de l'eau et rajouter, histoire de tenir jusqu'au prochain changement de solution qui est prévu samedi sauf si la situation dégénere de nouveau avec le PH. Last week of growth. Change of solution made on sunday 22/11 because the ph was starting to drop below 6.2 and it's been 1 week since I made the previous change. The PH at the time of the change was 6.8. It went up to 7.5 but I let the filter do its job. It is currently at 7.1 and continues to drop naturally. iron deficiency. Addition of an extra dose of Sensi CalMg Last update : Unfortunately what I felt was coming has happened, N saturation. Ph and EC both continued to drop. As the lower parts of the plants were dark and iron deficient (on top because is mobil nutrient), I deduced that it was an iron deficiency induced by N overfertilization. I was at an EC of 1, I came back to 0.8 on Tuesday evening the 25th. Biopony is very capricious in terms of nitrogen. On Wednesday the 26th the ph goes up which means that we stopped the N degradation process. I should change the solution but I have to float soon so I removed some water and added more, to hold until the next change of solution which is planned for Saturday unless the situation degenerates again with the PH. Ultima semana de crecimiento. Cambio de solución hecho el domingo 22/11 porque el ph empezaba a bajar de 6.2 y ha pasado 1 semana desde que hice el cambio anterior. El PH en el momento del cambio era de 6,8. Subió a 7.5 pero dejé que el filtro hiciera su trabajo. Actualmente está en 7.1 y sigue bajando naturalmente. deficiencia de hierro. Adición de una dosis extra de Sensi CalMg Ultima hora : Desafortunadamente lo que sentí que venía, la saturación de N. El pH y la EC continuaron bajando. Como las partes inferiores de las plantas eran oscuras y con deficiencia de hierro, deduje que se trataba de una deficiencia de hierro inducida por la sobrefertilización de N. Estaba en un EC de 1, volví a 0.8 el martes 25 por la noche. La bioponía es muy caprichosa en términos de nitrógeno. El miércoles 26 el PH sube, lo que significa que detuvimos el proceso de degradación del N. Debería cambiar la solución pero tengo que flotar pronto así que saqué un poco de agua y añadí más, para mantenerlo hasta el próximo cambio de solución que está previsto para el sábado a menos que la situación degenere de nuevo con el PH.

This plant has been a pain in the A**... it started doing LST on itself prior to me topping it. Leaning to the side but growing upwards? Really odd to see.

Day 24 Topped the Ladies Started to fertilize Bio Grow In 1-2 weeks i will send them in the flower stage

Let’s be real: I’m a bit behind on LST right now 😅 The 3D printer is running, new holders are in progress – plenty of excuses, shame on me, but luckily the plants don’t seem to mind so far. Because aside from that: Black Mamba is absolutely crushing it. Extremely vigorous, beautiful growth, strong side branches, and a powerful presence in the tent. Visually and energetically, this strain is a beast 💪 The aroma is starting to get serious: warm, spicy, slightly sweet with dark fruity notes – properly hot 🐍🔥 Not quite that once-in-a-lifetime legendary pheno moment yet, but definitely operating on a very high level. After taking these photos, I’ll go in for another round of defoliation, followed by properly dialing in the LST. The structure is begging to be shaped – this one’s going to hit hard. I made some Clones. I hope they start to root it seems good atm. What really stands out in this run: 👉 No pH adjustment at all 👉 No EC or PPM measurements 👉 Just plain tap water 🚰 And still, the plants look like they’re straight out of a grow manual. That says a lot about Doctor’s Choice genetics – easygoing, resilient, and powerful. The planned breeding added a bit of suspense too. I was worried there might be a male hiding somewhere. Plot twist: the most beautiful plant in the tent turned out to be male 🌱🏆 Classic breeder logic – painful for the eye, perfect for future projects 😄 Final thoughts: Low-stress setup, zero measuring stress, full performance. Black Mamba delivers – now it’s time to clean things up, shape the canopy, and push toward the finish 🚀

She grows with ease she doesn't need extra attention all she needs is feed and light

Only 3/4 sprouted so I’m going with that. I don’t have any extra seeds. I am very happy tho because my last grow 4 was a lot in my setup. I want to see how much I can train 3 plants and how much bigger I can get them. I also have to order seeds this run and get more soil. Very excited

june 25th 81 days

Week 6 for GMO 8 auto by atlasseed Shes bulked up so nicely pistils wise didn't expect this much bulk for a smaller plant. I was planning on putting her outdoors but i think as long as i have the space ill be keeping her indoors. She was fed twice this week with some FPJ, Regulator, Enzym+ & Topbooster by @aptus_portugal just to give it an extra boost! Shes slowly drinking more water every week. Still not PHing the water whatsoever😎
