Hola cultivetas! agregue humus al sustrato que estoy usando y sobrefertilice. Las hojas se empezaron a poner verde oscuro y algunas puntas se doblan hacia dentro. Solo me queda esperar a que se limpie. Vienen muy bien. Creciendo bastante. Buenos humos!

Without much to declare, organic runoff from the pots was at 200ppm, no nutrients were added in the last week, I increased air circulation, and harvested these plants on day 63 of flowering. I feel that if I wanted I could have left them longer, but one bud from one plant got infected with spider mites and I preferred to harvest everything to avoid infecting the others.

Final Results & Conclusions โ€“ Harvest, Drying & Curing The grow is finally complete, and itโ€™s time to look at the results. The main goal of this experiment was to compare natural growth vs LST on autoflowering plants, while also documenting two different trimming/drying approaches. Final Dry Weight Sour Jealousy Auto * LST: 44.9 g * Natural: 62.9 g Banana Purple Punch Auto * LST: 36.1 g * Natural: 51.6 g The results were surprisingly consistent across both strains. The naturally grown plants produced approximately 41% more flower than the LST plants on average, or, looking at it from the other direction, the LST plants produced around 29% less than their naturally grown counterparts. This suggests that, at least in this small experiment, LST did not provide a yield advantage with these autoflowers. In fact, the naturally grown plants produced considerably more. However, there are some important limitations. The sample size is extremely small, with only two plants per growing method. Individual phenotype and environmental variation can therefore have a significant impact on the results. There was also an important difference in pot size: the naturally grown Sour Jealousy was grown in an 18 L pot, while the other three plants were grown in 14 L pots. From this grow, combined with my experience from previous years, I continue to see a relationship between available root space and overall plant development: more substrate seems to give the plant more room to develop. The biggest advantage of LST was not yield, but plant structure and height control. The trained plants remained much shorter and more compact, making them considerably less conspicuous than the naturally grown plants. Drying Comparison I also experimented with two different trimming approaches. The two LST plants were wet trimmed, while the two naturally grown plants were dry trimmed. Throughout drying, I tried to maintain humidity between 55โ€“65%. Temperature was unfortunately higher than ideal, staying around 26โ€“28ยฐC, as I didnโ€™t have equipment to control it. Despite the less-than-ideal temperature, the aromas coming from both groups are very promising. At this stage, both drying methods have produced flowers with excellent fragrances. However, this comparison has an important limitation: because the LST plants were wet trimmed and the natural plants were dry trimmed, the two variables cannot be completely separated. Any differences in the final aroma or quality cannot be attributed exclusively to the drying method. For that reason, Iโ€™ll wait until the curing process is further along before making any conclusions. Final Thoughts This experiment gave me some interesting empirical evidence about LST on autoflowers. For my setup, natural growth clearly outperformed LST in terms of final weight, while LST offered a clear advantage in terms of plant size and canopy control. The sample size is obviously too small to draw definitive conclusions, so Iโ€™d really like to hear from other growers who have compared LST vs natural growth on autoflowering plants, especially when using the same genetics, pot size and environmental conditions. Iโ€™ll update this diary again in about a month, once the curing process is complete and I can compare the final aromas and tasting experience.

Hello everyone, The amnesia fast is doing okay and will go into flower in the coming days. I gave her a reservoir change removed and many leaves and internodes. To prevent rootrot building up again i filled the bucket full and gave the roots a good hydrogen peroxide treatment including the main stem, i think there is or was some rot near the main stem that kept causing rootrot. Let's see how she looks next week. Best regards, Growfather

Well all these ladies had a major growth spurt. My lights are at the max height now so I hope they are done. Good news though the Gorilla zkittles and Red diesel are showing bud forming, so hopefully I can count on them to be done stretching now. Started them I defoliated pretty good on day 7 I started them on the rhino skin once I got something to keep it turning in my reservoir. I also top dressed 1/2 cup of compost mix and hit them with a light top feed of recharge. Looking forward to seeing these ladies pack on weight in the new few weeks.

Growth: The ladies are 29 days old today(#5 23 days) and are all shooting pistils. #5 just popped her first pistils. I think they are starting their stretch. I upsized pots this run so i hope the ladies will fill their pots. Training: This week ive been a little rough with training. I had #5 tied down on day 19 and broke off a few nodes of the top. She didnt seem to mind, i guess you can top this strain early on with great results. Day 19 is way too late so im not not getting my hopes up. In the pictures you can see the difference from day 19 and today. I also broke a branch on #1 but was fixed with some tape. Nutrients: Canna Terra Vega 1.5ml/L next feeding 2ml/L Rhizotonic 2ml/L foliar feeding 2x p/week Cannazym 2.5ml/L 1x p/week. Happy growing!โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿค˜๐ŸŒฑ

3/13/2024 - Day 15 Flower: Ran into some issues after the last watering. The newest leaves have some severe curling going on, and I've had a few leaves with some minor brown spotting. I'm not 100% sure what caused it, but narrowed it down to either TeaCo Super Tea, Recharge, or the foliar spray I did with Dr. Zymes Eliminator. I did the foliar at lights out, but maybe there was still some residue when the light came back on. Either way, I'm taking it easy on this watering. Gave them 4 gallons of 6.5 ph water mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Coconut Powder, and a half dose of Rootwise Bio-Catalyst and Yah-Whey. The curling does not seem ro be getting worse, so hopefully they will grow out of this. Also, they have started to slow on rhe stretching, which is good, because they are getting close to the light. 3/14/2023 - Day 16 Flower: So I've been looking at some of the more deformed leaves and I'm pretty sure the leaf curl and brown is from the Dr. Zymes. The leaves with issues appear to have a slight glossy residue to them. I'm guessing when the Dr. Zymes dried on the leaves, it had a reaction when the light came back on. Now that I'm into week 3 of flower, I plan to cut out any foliar sprays, so hopefully I'm right an the issue won't get worse. I had some seeds that I sprouted and forgot to use yesterday, so I made a 2 gallon Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) and added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos, and a half dose of Fermented Comfrey Extract and Fermented Peach Extract. 3/16/2023 - Day 18 Flower: plants are looking good. Flowers are starting to develop and I'm already seeing the beginning of some tricomes. Stretch appears to be just about done, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here. The curling from last week has not gotten any worse. 3/17/2023 - Day 19 Flower: watered about 6 gallons of worm tea I brewed for about 24 hours. Added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, BuildASoil BuildABloom, and Rootwise Bio-Catalyst. Also, did some minor defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking lower bud sights. Still need to do more, but I plan to spread it out over a few days. 3/18/2023 - Day 20 Flower: Cleaned them all up real good. Took off all the large fan leaves, except for the top two, and cut off basically anything on the lower half of the plant. May have gone a little higher than I would have liked, now that I'm seeing it done, but too late now. Normally, i only like to take off about 1/3, but i guess we will see what happens when the bottom half is stripped. Always learning around here, haha. Hopefully I should have very little popcorn buds.

Week 7 Flower- Day 51 flw / Day 107 of cycle Apple Blossom looks beautiful and smell really nice. Looking at the plant it seems it is ready for harvesting, however looking into the trichomes I would say we can hold few more days before harvest. I am watching the trichomes closely in a daily basis to be sure I do not miss out. The breeder says it would be ready in only 45 days, I had not grown a faster flowering plant like this before. Buds could be a bit bigger and denser.. however I am happy woth the overall results.. final stage coming soon ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

2 part Harvest. 95+ Grams I got from this pheno. Took about a week to find the bottom 3rd. She is lovely, gasey & fruity. Smooth smoke with a lil bite to the back of my throat. Xpert nutrients did 90-95% of this grow. Love 'em. Will definitely be a fastbud do over. I wouldn't mind a few jars of this. 9.5โ˜†
