Papaya cookies are incredible! All the pistils turn purple, incredible beauty of this plant. We are so happy to have caught this extraordinary phenotype and are looking forward to an early harvest in about 2 weeks time.

FBA2502 Week 3 April 13-19 Veg 2 This week I introduced nutrients to the watering schedule. My planned feed schedule will be to feed, feed, water each week until the time to flush. , adjusting nutrients per the growth cycle. Hopefully this will keep from overfeeding and reduce salt build up in the soil. Nutrients: I will be using General Hydroponics Flora line at ½ feed rate and Cal mag throughout this grow. My tap water measures 8.3-8.5 so even after adding nutrients, I have to PH down my feed solution. Regarding nutrients, I’ve tried Fox Farm, TPS1, Plagron and now General Hydroponics. What I am looking for is organic, ease of use, minimal individual bottles that will yield large, dense sticky buds that hit hard in effect. Plants range in height from 5-7” except #1 which has been pinned to the soil. I will try wrapping her around the perimeter of the pot. Since she leaned over, I pinned her down and have been anchoring along the rim, twisting the stem so the node is on the side or top rather than underneath. I don’t think she likes training since the stems are a bit floppy. They are all still in veg, bushy with large indica leaves. I’ve been tucking the large leaves under the bud sites to give more light under the canopy. I’m tempted to top one of the bigger plants to have a comparison on resistance and final yield. This week I made a short video for each 2502 tester and a pic or 2. GH Flora Micro ½ tsp /gal Gro ½ tsp /gal Bloom ½ tsp /gal Fox CalMag ½ tsp /gal PPM 573 & 715 when I added Plagrons Royal Rush 4ml. PH 6.7 Temp 65 Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Weather was quite good this week, a bit of sun and the temperatures were not too high. The buds are full of trichomes 😎

While we're not huge on autoflower plants, this one turned out really nice, not a huge yield, maybe just over an Oz dry but her bag appeal can't be beat.. we may actually grow this strain again but probably outdoors, our autos always seem to preform better in the garden. Thanks for reading and happy growing everyone

Week 20 of veg! Final few hours untill 12/12, I honestly have no idea what to expect in the next few weeks with this , the plants been topped numerous times, branches all set out nicely, slight bit of defoliation untill I can see where the main bud sites are.

This update is coming only a few days after my previous one as I delayed that one by a few days, now we are back on schedule. The girls are continuing to pump out resin, and the buds are slowly gaining more weight however they’re still pretty small. I have faith they will bulk some more before I harvest next week, crossing my fingers. Harvesting next Wednesday, really hoping to see the pistils get closer to 50% amber at least. Since I am having to harvest early, I have made the executive decision to not flush and continue with nutes all the way till chop. I would prefer them to continue to bulk as much as possible and I don’t see much of a reason to flush a plant that isn’t fully mature yet. I also read that people don’t actually notice very much of a difference from flushed and not flushed weed, so take that flushers! Jk, I would actually flush if I had the time :,(

We had a couple unseasonably warm days this week, our wood furnace was going when the temps went up. The tent hit 27.5 degrees one day?, which resulted in the heat damage to the leaves. The leaves are also starting to die back faster. I have a feeling they may determine my harvest day instead of my trichomes. Still only some amber, maybe 5-10%, the rest are cloudy with very, very few clear

Harvest week coming up. Plant looks really good and Colas have gotten really heavy

Momma Shark II is healthy and growing slowly by design. I’ve got the 400W ballast dimmed to 250W. Lots of clone sites available when needed next. Bowl design seems to work well in these 2 gal pots in a 2x2 space that should be able to accommodate 4 moms if I stay on top of training! The two trainees - 8BK and XXL and doing well with manifold development. I have 20 branches on each plant now. My plan is to transplant very soon before tying any of these down. Then start training them out to the edge of the 2 gal and then upward to create more bowl designs. They’ll be moving to the Mothership to join Momma Shark soon 😎

Overall a good week no issues at all. Pictures are in order starting with bottom left corner autoflower moving counter clockwise. Any suggestions or pointers are greatly appreciated!

Day 72, 21st of November 2020: Hi! Wao this is what I can say and luckily stoppe streching.... All LST has been removed as the plants remain the same so no need to keep them in "chains". Those Original Sensible girls 3 of them (Gelato, Runtz Gum, Do-Si-Dos OG)went crazy, except Black Ghost OG she did not strech much typical little indica lady. And the THC crystals alrady on the leaves on the Runtz Gum and Do-Si-Dos OG just simply beautiful. Buds are coming getting thick they are gorgeous only I can see some some sort of deficiency on Do-Si-Dos OG a bit on some leaves. The fertilization schedula isnthe same every 2nd day and happens with the mix and ratio above. Wedding Gelato is beautiful also I hope the nice purple colour will come out as well in late flowering stage. :) The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

Flush Week !! More yellowing and colder tempereatures... Feeding is 1 irrigation plain water, and the next with 2-3 ml Top Candy, giving the plant the Carbohydrates it needs, but no more nutrients this week. Eating way less water than before. Aprox 1 week until harvest, and the end of the next week probably is going to be sunny. So not much more to say fellas, sooo as usual, Take care and Good VIbes !!!

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Week 9! I can hardly wait until Harvest! Buds are looking good getting bigger, a lot of little buds growing in every armpit. I have two camera's in my tent. It's great, you can look at your plants with opening the door for hours. I can take pictures, record, rotate, move it around and motion detection if needed. I can also view my tent on my smart phone anywhere in the world. I fully recommend it. The app is eye cloud, camera's are Yatwin. Out of the two plants Gorilla Glue and White Widow, Gorilla Glue grew faster and bigger.

============================= 📅 Week 9 – Flowering Days: 57-63 Dates: 05/06–11/06 Strains: RQS Critical (3x), RQS White Widow (1x) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌿 OVERVIEW / PLANT STATUS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Plants remained in very good health as the flowering stretch neared completion. The canopy filled the tent evenly, with strong bud-site development across all plants. Critical #2 showed the most vigorous growth and became the tallest plant at 64 cm, while White Widow remained the shortest at 47 cm but was the most compact and densely structured. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📏 MEASUREMENTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Plant 05/06 11/06 Growth --------------------------------------- CRIT-1 50 cm 57 cm +7 cm CRIT-2 54 cm 64 cm +10 cm CRIT-3 51 cm 54 cm +3 cm WWID-1 42 cm 47 cm +5 cm ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌡️ ENVIRONMENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Environmental conditions stayed stable, with temperatures around 24–28°C, humidity between 50–58%, and good airflow. Lighting was maintained at approximately 850–900 PPFD on a 12/12 schedule, supporting flower development without signs of stress. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💧 WATERING & FEEDING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The AutoPot system operated reliably, with water consumption increasing as flowering progressed. Plants transitioned fully into bloom feeding: Bio PK was introduced with positive results and no nutrient burn observed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌸 FLOWER TRANSITION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Flowering entered Week 2, marked by a significant increase in pistil production, clearly defined bud sites, and the formation of early flower clusters. Stretch slowed toward the end of the week while floral development strengthened across the canopy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✂️ TRAINING & MAINTENANCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Training work was largely complete, with only minor branch repositioning and leaf tucking required. Maintenance focused on environmental monitoring, tray inspections, and AutoPot checks. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ ISSUES & ACTIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Minor biofilm was observed in some AutoPot trays, but no major deficiencies or cultivation issues were present. Cleaning, airflow improvements, and continued monitoring helped maintain plant health and vigor. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📝 GROWER NOTES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Overall, the week was rated excellent, with strong flowering progression, healthy growth, successful nutrient adjustments, and a well-established canopy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 PLAN FOR NEXT WEEK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The focus for next week is maintaining bloom feeding, controlling humidity, monitoring Bio PK response, and preparing for increased bud formation as stretch concludes.
