Skipped a week in my journal last week, as I was traveling. Had my neighbor water my plants. Came back and everything was looking great with the Lion Claw. I WAS having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants though... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener. Also top dressed the Lion Claw and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly. She's a big plant for being in a 5-gallon pot. I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone. Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably once per week. Don't want to overdo it. 8/4 LIGHTLY sprayed with gravenstein apple FFJ and OHN. 8/6 LIGHTLY sprayed base soil area with neem oil / castile soap mixture.

HAPPY 420 Today iam entering the SEEDSMAN 420 Growoff with the Following strain the FATSO GMO f1 automatic. All will start Indoors under SANlight Flex 25, and move Outdoors. Only one Plant stays indoors, to see the performance under best Conditions because my Outdoor Garden is hard^^ So i started with letting them soak, and then the seeds will move under a humid Kitchensponge unil i see a sweet Taproot. then they will go into the Final Pot, filled with lovely TerraPreta mj mix the grow will be supported with Biotabs fertiliser Breeder Information Fatso GMO F1 Auto is a feminised hybrid strain that is the result of crossing two autoflowering strains, viz. Fatso Auto and Cotton Candy Auto. This Cali-derived, slightly sativa-leaning, easy to cultivate strain will please growers with its big yield, solid THC content and its sweet, candy and fuel palate. Fatso GMO F1 Auto will grow well both indoors and outdoors. It has an above-average resistance to mould but will still benefit from good ventilation, especially where humidity levels are quite high. Resistance to plant pests and other pathogens is excellent. While plants will remain quite short at around 100cm or less indoors, they can grow a little taller, reaching a height of 130cm, outdoors in open ground. The entire cycle is completed in a maximum of 75 days from germination through to harvest and although yields are said to be average this is still pretty impressive for an autoflowering strain. The combination of high resin production and high terpene levels make Fatso GMO F1 Auto a very good strain from which to make cannabis extracts. The terpene profile is sweet and funky with savoury scents of Skunk with pine and floral notes. The taste is like sweet candy with hints of fuel. THC production is high, reaching 24% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and well-balanced.

Day 8: Woke up and checked on the ladies, they were bone dry. Hit em with 70 ml of AN Coco Grow diluted in my mix. Day 9: Got the new lights in today and hooked up. Girls are looking pretty good I think. Still letting em dry out a little. Gonna add a shot of Great White on next water. No nutes will be in this shot. Day 10: Still looking good. Had to stack some loose Coco around a couple as they had a good stretch going and were leaning pretty good. Also noticed a couple of brown spots on the leaves. I am led to believe after asking questions and researching, it is more than likely nute burn? No more nutes for these girls for a while. I also got a humidifier to raise humidity as it was pretty low. Day 11: These girls almost double in size every day! They would probably be a little bigger if I hadn't of tried to give em a drink of nutes earlier on! Lesson learned!! Not bad for 6 days out of the ground regardless though, I think. Got a humidifier in the tent and it stays around 50% now. Other than last night it got up to 73%. I need to get that fixed. Day 12: Nothing new to update other than they look healthy. Think I am gonna let them dry out a touch more before watering. Day 13: Gave the girls 1 cup of ph 6.0 water this morning. Thermostat battery went out and lucky my girl caught it in time. Temp got to 86° for a couple of hours. Opened the tent for an hour to get the temp back down. Humidity has been hovering around 50% for the most part. Minor fluctuations here and there. Girls are looking good for 8 days out of the earth though!! 💪 Day 14: Looking like they need another drink, dry down to around 1" deep. Gave em 2.25 cups with super diluted Coco Grow and a touch of Great White. 😳 They are doing great! 👍 Looking forward to see what week 3 has in store! Going to build a support to add my 2 CREE lights back in along with the Mars lights.

Venga familia, cosecha de estas Black Rainbow de Seedstockers, tuve que adelantar una semana y dar machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven resinosas, prietas, aparte son aromáticas huelen afrutado. En general es una genética algo complicada que aún así disfrute cultivarla, la genética es perfecta para cultivos de floración corta 8/9 semanas con rangos entre los 20/24 grados en interior, es compleja cultivarla y hay que tener cuidado con las condiciones, es excelente para cultivadores avanzados. Hasta aquí todo, agradecer Mikele y Giorgio de Seedstockers, y al equipo Agrobeta por hacer posible este proyecto espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Very nice plant to grow. Beautiful flowers covered with trichomes. The smell is very lemon citrus flavourt. She gave a bit of a stretch. I think she isn’t the biggest yielder but definitely quality over quantity. Later on the results. Very pleased sofar! I underestimate the density of the buds. Dry weight 375 gram of 5 plants. Pheno number 2 yielded almost 100 gram! Powerfull lemon flavour with a touch of sour. Running pheno number 2 again!

My Strawberry Gorilla seedling is looking healthy with its deep, dark green leaves. I've been gradually increasing the light intensity over the past few days, which is crucial for autoflowers at this stage. It's definitely time to ramp up the light now, and I'm excited to see how it responds. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

7/14 4AM MONDAY MUST DEFOLIATE!!!!! I HAVE 4 INSTEAD OF 2...BECAUSE OF MY LITTLE ACCIDENT EARLY ON.. I WILL TAKE ONE OUT OF FLOWER AND RE-VEG TODAY!!! 7/15 420am They are great cutting I took last month or week is great. Amino and mb today!! 230pm spectacular results today heavy defoliation I removed branches. I prefer a four cola grow in small spaces. It’s just better for airflow better for the plants and they responded so great. It’s like they’re jumping straight up now. I’ve never seen this. They’re just so vibrant that means all the amino’s. Everything is working perfectly. 👍👍👍🚨🚨🚨🌿🌿🌿 7/16 320am 🌿🌿🌿🌿🎊🎊🎊🎊💥💥💥💥👍👍👍👍 7/18 3am NOTICING Elongated Sepals!!!! from Search Ai "Elongated sepals in plants refer to sepals that are longer than average, often appearing narrow and pointed. This characteristic can be a defining feature of certain plant species, such as the long-sepal beardtongue (Penstemon calycosus). The length and shape of sepals can vary significantly between species and even within the same plant, influencing the overall appearance and potentially the function of the flower. Elongated Sepals: More Details Definition: Sepals are leaf-like structures that form the outermost whorl of a flower, typically green and protecting the bud. Elongated sepals are simply those that are noticeably longer than the typical sepal length for a given plant or group of plants. Examples: Long-sepal beardtongue (Penstemon calycosus): This plant is named for its elongated sepals, which are a key characteristic. Berberis (Barberry): Some Berberis species exhibit elongated sepals, with variations in shape and length among different sepal types within the same flower. Significance: Identification: Sepal shape and length are important features used in plant identification and classification. Pollination: In some cases, elongated sepals might play a role in attracting pollinators or influencing how they interact with the flower. Protection: Sepals, even elongated ones, still function to protect the developing flower bud. Morphogenesis: Studies on Arabidopsis have shown that the shape of sepals, including the presence of elongated tips, can be influenced by mechanical feedback within the plant and the arrangement of microtubules."""🚨. THIS IS ON 2 OF THEM, SO I MAY HAVE 2 STRONGER THAN AVG. PLANTS. I WONDER IF THE MB, AMINOS ARE HELPING WITH THIS TOO??? 7/19 I GOT A MAGNETIC STIR THING. 150pm they didn’t need a lot of attention today. They do need to be trimmed back down to four colas. I’m running out of space they are very perfect and if I had more space the leafs would be bigger, but that’s limited by mine condition so there’s nothing I can do but they are absolutely incredible🎊👍👍

######################################### HARVEST (Day 110 / December 21) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x4 because of heater and dehumidification but each plant averaged a 2x3 canopy. Each plant had a dedicated light, Sage 2 used the HLG 300 V2 Rspec and Sage 3 used the CMH 315. It's not an accurate comparison of lights because there was some overlap but I'm just utilizing my resources the best I can for this dedicated autoflower tent. The plants were grown in hydroponics using a custom two-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Sage #3 had an issue just after stretch, and I think I burnt it a bit when the CMH was at 22". I also experimented with a single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7 and turned out surprisingly well - see the results below. It's always fun to see the two contrasting phenotypes side by side. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- From day 106 to day 110, I just stopped feeding and let the ppms run down. No dark period and no flush. On day 110 they were chopped. I probably could have let them go a bit longer, but my concerns were growing with Sage 3 and the sugar leaves being brittle and flacking off onto lower buds promoting bud rot. The smell of this flower on the plant was funk and was hard to control the funk... even with a carbon filter. Trichomes are slightly amber, mostly milky overall. I'm convinced hydroponics can add a couple of weeks of veg time to the run compared to coco/soil. Cutting the Scrog net was required. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- The plants were dried in a 3x3 tent, so I had to cut the plants in 1/4 sections to fit in the 3x3 drying tent for a slow dry. Branches were hung to dry on burlap twine in a tent in complete darkness, branches upside down. The temps were dialed in at 60F by pointing AC at the intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. Ambient RH in my house is 30% due to winter so I had to use two humidifiers and an Inkbird controller to add humidity to the room and block the humidity streams from hitting plants directly. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 8, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. I pulled the branches to trim as they were ready around starting around day 12. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- I trimmed each branch as it was ready but there were times when I pulled more than I could trim without being interrupted so a few branches did overdry on my trim table due to the low ambient RH due to winter. Very few fan leaves on branches, so most trim was all sugar leaves. I went tight with trim to ensure a better flower product and more supply for edible totaling in over 11 ounces of trim product. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and boveda/boost 8gr humidity pack. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. I started by burping once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange. Because the flower product was already at almost 62% when packaged in jars, quite the contrast from drying in summer conditions, I only needed to burp once per day and mold really wasn't much of an issue due to low humidity in winter. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 10 day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 301g (10.75oz) Sage 3: 377g (13.46oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 670g (23.93oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 204g Sage 3: 135g ---------------------------------------- Total: 327g (11.67oz) **I went tight on the trim for better flower product and sufficient supply for edibles, and is calculated in overall yield. ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Flower: 678g (24.21oz) Trim: 327g (11.68oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 1005g (35.89oz) (2.24lb) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 1005g / 12 sqft (3x4 canopy) = 83.75g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 615 Watts / 12 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 51.25 watts per sqft. 1005g / 615 watts = 1.63 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- On day 10 of cure, I tested the flower and passed some to a few friends for their input. Feedback was positive. One little bud was given to a friend and he reported it stunk his entire car. Sticky, trichome-covered fire! Smoke is smooth, no cough. White ash. The 60/40 (sativa/indica) is a blend that is on point. Sage Scout definitely is a heavy hitter; upwards of 3.5 hour noticeable head/body change with no couchlock at the end. In regards to flavor and smell, it's not fully there yet on only day 10 of cure. The flavors/scents are still muted but I expect the flavours to prevail after 6-8 weeks of curing. Very funky and strong smell that bursts past the mason jar lids. Piney sweet scent. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, I only have two regrets with this run. 1. More aggressive lolipopping! I just feel if I had lolipopped more, I would have had a denser product overall. The flower product is indeed dense, and all in all, I'm happy with the result, but it's I'm adding as a reminder for the next run. I need to be more selective. 2. I slacked on the training of Sage #2 due to the hard-to-reach factor which probably affected about additional 1-2 oz of yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. I’m was very happy with Microbial Mass product in combination with Orca. Once again, I was overall happy with Advanced Coco blend for RWDC. I went with Coco product because Coco is similar to hydroponics, the AN Coco line just has added Calmag to it. I didn’t really see any issues with the AN Coco line and I like the autonomous factor of AN sensi products because my photoperiod tent takes some of my attention, so it is nice to have this autolower tent on auto-pilot for the majority of the grow. 2. When harvesting, I did find a few spots of concern in the root system, so I will definitely upgrade the pump from 250gph to a 400gph for better flow to combat that issue. 3. My experiment with a single water change when switching to bloom nutrients was a surprising result. Sage 2 (purple pheno) performed well with no deficiencies which I had trouble sorting out the deficiency on Sage 3. I continue to wonder if it was salt build-up, but it seemed to start shortly after the change to bloom nutrients so maybe it was a nitrogen/calmag issue. I may add an additional water change mid-flower (week 11) to the next run and see if it makes any difference is the same conditions happen. 4. I'll also like to move the two-site system to the front of the tent for better accessibility to train the plants. 5. I'm also looking at the floorplan of the tent and I think I can run a single system in parallel next to this two-site system and still have room for heater/dehumidifier and still keep accessibility for training. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- Night Owl genetics has performed once again in my RDWC setup. I also feel a dedicated light for each plant really helped improve the yield. If I calculate a 2x3 space for each plant, with a total of 615 watts / 12 sq ft, running at 51.25 watts per square foot is the result. In regards to gram per watt, I've calculated the result is nearly 1.63 gram per watt when using 1005g / 615 watts. My goal was a pound per plant, I was happy to exceed that goal line with autoflowers with 2.24lb total yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!
