Such Bittersweet Joy Added this week as ‘Flowering’ although technically should be harvested as I but I haven’t had a chance to weigh or anything. I will do that next week once trimmed etc. So finally cut them down on D89, it was a beautiful day outside and it just felt right. Although when it came to the deed itself I felt sadder than I thought I would for my girls and the time we had together. All 6 (I’m growing another 3 different strains but not included on this diary) are now hanging to dry in the tent. Temp -18 C; Humidity-60% seems to be holding steady with no tinkering thankfully. After the 3 days they have all dried noticeably, perhaps 4/5 more before trimming / curing. I’ve had quite a close look at most of the harvest and as far as this noob can tell, there doesn’t seem to be any issues with mould / bud rot. Fingers remain crossed. I did have one very profound moment this week... It happened as I was surveying the harvest hanging up for the first time. I could feel my mindset change suddenly from the constant paranoia over their health and overcoming my impatience to “I actually have a crap load of weed”. It was beautiful beautiful moment... Thanks for reading. Have a great week 😊

The last week has only gotten frostier. It's simply amazing how beautiful this purple color and the trichomes are.

Die Buds werden immer größer, sieht einfach super aus. Gibt nicht viel zu erzählen die Pflanzen tun was sie sollen.

Day 57, didn't upload anything as nothing had changed. Day 58, still no noticeable changes to her but gave her a pH 6 drink. QB still hasn't arrived but hoping soon. The temps here have turned very pleasant and the tent stays between 21 and 25 throughout the day and night. My humidity also stays under 50% which is nice. Ordered a PPM meter, more pH calibration solution and some new soil for the next grow after this one. Ordered some "Super soil" mix that apparently should cover the first 2 months of nutes. Fully prepared to make the next grow a good one after the learning experience on this. I managed to source 5 RQS Diesel Autos and 5 RQS Royal Madre Fotos (I guess the guy only had stock of the older seeds as he listed it by that name and not the Mother Gorilla that I wish it was). I also have the random bagseed growing in the tent with this NL Auto still in Veg but it showed sex this week and turned out to be female. I was using it to practice HST and attempted to FIM / Top her so I will see how she grows and maybe finish her out before starting my next grow of the Diesel Autos, probably 2 at a time. Day 59. Noticing a lot of the lower leaves are yellowing more than before. Not sure if this is at a normal rate or because of a deficiency. Bud sizes don't seem to be increasing in size still but I am not expecting them too at this stage. I am hoping the yellowing is a normal process at this age and isn't happening too soon as she doesn't have a lot of them to spare if they start dropping off this quickly! Day 60. Definitely noticing a lot of leaves starting to fade and die. I am not sure if I should be doing something to fix this or if its part of the natural cycle at this point in her life? Buds look like they are putting on some nice frost though and the smell is really strong now. I had got used to it because when I left the house for shopping and came back, I could smell her from downstairs. Need to invest in a filter but for now making sure the door is closed in the room with the tent seems to be working. Day 61. Decided to give her a watering today as she was looking a bit droopy. My PPM meter still hasn't arrived so I am unable to check the runoff at this point but hopefully the soil isn't still too hot for her. Also waiting for the loupe to arrive to check trichs but from my best attempts to zoom in on them, they still look to have a fair ways to go. Day 62. She's still chugging along. Haven't noticed any new issues or changes to her today since watering yesterday. Temps got a bit cold last night and the tent dropped to 18c from its usual 21c at night. Doesn't seem to have bothered her too much though. QB arrived today! Swapped out the noisy hot blurple for this 150W QB. Currently running it on 100W as I am not sure if the shock between the 230W actual draw blurple to 150W QB would stress the girl out too badly. Already have to say the light coming off this thing feels "cleaner" somehow and its a beauty for taking pictures with. In love already and can't wait to get the next one going. I have a bag seed in veg in the same tent as the auto that I was planning on flowering after she is done, I think the QB on this intensity might fry her though? Day 63. She has spent some time under the new QB and hasn't shown any visible signs of stress with the light sitting at 13" and 100W. I bumped the wattage up to 110 this morning and plan to do 10W more a day until at the full 150W. Gave her a watering today until about 10% runoff. Watered at 6.5 and the run off measured in at 6.6 so next watering I will go for a lower pH. Not sure how it's built up as I've been watering around 6 for a while. Will keep a close eye on her again after bumping the wattage and watering her. The bag seed seems to be perfectly happy with the change in lighting as well and hasn't shown any signs of stress yet. Also got my seeds today! Will likely grow one or two together, not sure which yet though and will wait for the bag seed to finish up. Will give her the whole tent for flowering to see what kind of yields it will pull. Anyone got experience with the strains Royal Madre or the Blue Cheese from RQS?

So Zkittles finally has the place to herself after the Pineapple Express was harvested yesterday ( it’s the fruit ) . With room to spread her out now she’s loving all that extra light and air flow and is becoming the biggest auto I’ve ever grown with a stench that needs covering up with candles and dryer sheets at the exhaust vent … ( good problems to have ) All going to plan a few more weeks of fattening her up some and it will be a successful grow .

15 hrs 31 mins daylight as of today Everyone is settling in well after the transplant last week, they seem very happy are are definitely shooting up. I removed the support hoops for the row cover because the Blueberry has grown above it. Speaking of, it is the only Blueberry because the other 2 went to live with my friend. She's about to start another round of chemo pills, which she told me she has to do for the next 5 years😩 It's terrible, and I wish I could do more for her. Not much to report this week as this girl is very happy. Unfortunately it seems there's some technical issues here on GD. The past couple weeks my diaries haven't been updating properly, and the 2 diaries I started last week for my autos are missing. They don't show up under my "Diaries" tab, which says there's 17 but only shows 15. I also tried searching for the 2 missing diaries by strain and by diary name, and couldn't locate them. Anybody else having issues? Update 6/26- I totally forgot to add that on Monday the garden got a spraying of horn manure. Horn manure is a biodynamic preparation of cow manure that's been fermented in a buried horn. This results in a material that's teeming with beneficial flora and fauna for the soil. Ideally it would be sprayed prior to planting in the spring as it encourages healthy root growth. I purchased the pre-potenized so that I only had to spend 20 mins stirring rather than an entire hour. That would have been brutal😵 I sprayed it at night when the earth is breathing in and used a spruce bough to sprinkle it over the plants in the garden. The extra icing on the cake was that there was a rain the day before, and another the day after I sprayed so it was well watered in.

3 semana en flora de las autos las demás están empezando a florecer algunas más rápidas que otras pero todo muy parejito

Week 4 for the majority in the veg tent. Orange creampop had a rough go with the happy frog soil. Almost lost her but transplanted and she is taking off. Just topped her on 3/30.

Una settimana colma di cambiamenti, é incredibile come le piante senza nessun tipo di training si adattino perfettamente tra di loro allo spazio circostante, quanti sensori possiedono le piante? Come comunicano tra di loro? mi ha sempre affascinato...

Constantly drinking again been topping off with just water and calcium last few days because they slowed on drinking again all good now will add regular nutrients for the week coming up then just water for the last week also trying to get the humidity under control the best I can

Sour stuff! Great daytime smoke and head high

The bushes are shooting up fast — the fan leaves, palm-sized by now, are already poking into the light. LED is not HPS lamp, good for me :) I'm training the branches daily with soft wire ties from the garden shop — cheap as chips. Watering with RO water, pH dialled in. A 15-litre reservoir makes it easy to manage PPM and pH, and the air stone keeps the solution well-oxygenated — roots love it. 3 weeks in without Simplex Coco base. A couple of days ago the stems started showing a slight red tint. Figured I probably didn't mix enough nutrients into the top layer: I went with 3 grams per litre of substrate — 9 litres of Simplex coco brick and 3 scoops of nutes, carefully blended. Was worried about overdoing it. Still, even at the minimum dose I got minor burn on the lower leaves. The substrate had been pre-soaked with Simplex Coco base — should've flushed it for a couple of days first with a CalMag solution and pH 5.6–6.3. Three weeks later I top-dressed with another half scoop (5 g) per pot. For a long-flowering sativa that's pretty standard practice — topdressing every 2–3 weeks works well. Overall, Bio Feeding is a really straightforward option — accessible and easy to follow even for a beginner like me. Can't wait to taste the end result: never grown bio before, only mineral nutrients.

During the middle of this week I decided to stop the outward training of the branches & the allow vertical growth for beginning bud site formation . I don’t want to miss the beginning flower stretch kinda need it 😂. Decided to break the apical dominance of the main stem by LST’ing down . I noticed it was leagues ahead of the rest of the plant because it hung over the side of the pot so since I need to start slowing it’s vertical growth I figure now Is also time to get the rest of the canopy to catch up leaving me to space things accordingly later when/if necessary . Also decided to go ahead and do my 1st & last additional feeding since these girls where planted all I’ve had to do this grow was water when dry & train her to the best of my abilities. Week 6 on the GreenSceene in the books 📚 thanks for stopping by .

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay! This week I raised the amount of phosphorus and potassium! And yikes! I went suuuuuuper high by mistake! I gave them (after pH and TDS checks) a total of 1968 ppm which I believe was just way too much for my babies 😬 gladly they barely showed some nutrient burn. With the exception of Boomer and Falcho, which both plants are still showing some chlorosis (better than last week tho) and I believe it's probably because of some sort of nutrient lock out or maybe the plant is just getting too old! You'll see from the photos how the plants developed after overfeeding them. They didn't wither 😱 or anything (and only some few leaves started to show some signs of nutrient burn) so I'm happy so far. I'll be more careful next week about this! Besides that big mistake everything went well. I kept removing dry/yellow leaves and taking care of my babies 👌 Thanks everyone for reading!

Dia 32: agregamos mas sustrato a cada planta y realizamos poda de hojas bajas y nudos mas desfavorable Dia 35: agregamos la primera dosis de blossom blaster pro. 6 ml en 6 litro de agua, aplicamos 500ml a cada planta. Dia 37: aplicamos 500ml de agua por planta. Dia 38: sesión de fotos a todos los ejemplares de este cultivo y rotación de las plantas dentro de la carpa, todos los dias hago estos movimientos para que todas capten la misma luminosidad y el sustrato se seque mas parejo. Dia 39: aplicaremos monster bloom en el cultivo, la solución será de 1.8g (ya que es en polvo) en 6 litros de agua

Echt kräftige Triebe bekommen, bin gespannt wie sie sich jetzt im großen Topf ausbreitet.

day 67 - This week the buds keep getting fat and the most notable change is the color. The buds are madurating and getting more intense red and nice dose of resine.
