Indoor 4x Auto Cinderella Jack + (I think) 1x Auto Mimosa Punch + 1x Sweet Bourbon Kush

Week #11

I didn't put much focus on the tests seeds I germinated. At this point those two have overpaced the others by a lot.

Curious side note: one of the four Cinderella Jacks finally shows signs of early bloom (in f...ing week 11)... the ways of god are past finding out. xD

Wait! MOMMY? Didn't you say my autos had no time, because they would be done by now, no matter what?

As previously mentioned, the wound I inflicted and just noticed. The vertical crack in the stem. The black stuff is Propolis (mother natures anti-everything bacteria killing antiviral antifungal wonder weapon^^) I used as aid to cure on this poor victim of mindless brutality.

If my plants were the Daltons, the one now top left would be Averell. But, well, better start flowering in week 11 than never... xD

The other two strains now sprint away wholeheartedly:

And finally this week my plants moved into their new appartments:

Week #12

Now we are already in week 12 for the Cinderellas / week 10 for the two brought out by me later.

Lil' Miss "Good girls don't bloom" finally shows decisive moves towards building some flowers.

The other three Cinderellas are somewhere mid-bloom...

And the ones younger by two weeks power towards the finish line:

Shiny new home welcome group foto! Say cheese!

Week #13

The Cinderella's still try to form something like a cubic flower mass. No kidding they're as wide as deep as high... measurments in all 3 dimensions the same. ^^
And they seem to use any space there is (and there isn't any) to pack it with blooms.

So I decided instead of a third lamp above to go for Under Canopy LED strips.

Since I bought additional equipment over an extended period of time, one by one, I had to invest ~2h to completely renew my cable management, now all tight in one corner.

(There is yet one flaw actually, I need to elevate my pots away from the Under Canopy LEDs. According underpots are ordered but have yet to come)

My plants are running on really high level now, perhaps risky for a noob, but they still cope with it.
PPFD varies in areas of between 600 and 1200 resulting DLI between ~40 and 80. Temp is 28-30°C (82-86°F), Humidity ~40% resulting VPD of up to 2.6.
I give them drink, a lot, I give them food, a lot, everything... they keep going.
I tuned up their daily feast to an EC of 2.4, they seem to suck that away, soil EC stays at a moderate 1.4. And they now get more than one feast daily.

If I had to give my bet I would estimate the young ones to be finished within 1-2 weeks, more like 2. The Cinderellas at least 3 more weeks, I would bet on 4.
And the Lil' Miss Lateflower who STARTED at week 12? Who knows... ^^


Finally some mouthwatering fotos of the young ones starting to look real tasty:

WEEK #14

Still standing strong... yet looking quite terrible them ladies... :/

Think this results from having nothing to feed them (except water) for about 3 or 4 days... I also tried to let the soil dry out a little, since I had nothing to feed them and I was hoping this would be helpful against those renitent f....gnats...

Well seems like the f...gnats didn't know they don't like drought... they exploded in numbers again. -.-

Update, start of WEEK #15:

Very recently it came to my ears, that "multiple parties" in the house I live in "talked about the odors coming from my appartment". xD
(Of course no one except the Whistleblower talked TO me instead ABOUT me, HAIL ALL WHISTLEBLOWERS!!!)

So, say 'Hello' to my new additional equipment, shipment is due for Tuesday. (And say 'Goodbye' to another 240 Euro-bucks)

(combined HEPA + carbon filter)

"Clean Air Delivery Rate" ~294 CFM

And I just realized I forgot something in my setup in the beginning.... the Honourable Food Taster for my Princesses (one of the top counsellors in my royal court) xD

"Aqua Master Tools H600 Pro Substrate"

Comes at a whooping ~300 Euro-bucks manufacturer price, got it from a store at ~240

Works like a charm for 6 months now and till today it even did not beg me a single time to calibrate it.

Update start week #16:

After having fielded 6 million Special Forces (this is what the SF ist for, isn't it?) Nematodes in 3 landing waves across 8 days, I think those f...gnats will even survive my daughter... ^^

Today I took two more plants down, my Auto Sweet Bourbon Kush and one of the Auto Cinderella Jacks... 3 CJ's still remain.

Auto Sweet Bourbon Kush Funeral Set:

The Three Princesses:

Chopped down, weighed their hearts, heavier than a feather... so no happy afterlife for my plants, they will burn in the fire of justice. (After drying and curing of course)

Auto Sweet Bourbon Kush: wet weight 506g / 17.8oz

Auto Cinderella Jack: wet weight 1,167g / 41.1oz

Update start of Week #17

The stupid gnats seem on retreat. I still see a few, but just a few.

The plants keep going...

Update week #18:

There will be no such thing as a week #18, chopped the last one down on day 119.

Didn't weigh the last two until now...
Cinderella Jack #3 trimmed (less) wet bud weight 478g
Cinderella Jack #4 trimmed (more) wet bud weight 438g
(#3 is 3 or 4 days more dry than #4)

Next on my list:
-wait for 15 x 9l (2 gallon) Air Pot 7 to arrive
-wait for RQS seeds to arrive
-mix some new soil, kill EVERYTHING in the soil remaining from last grow with boiling water

Then I will try a "low maintenance" SOG run:
3x Purplematic Auto (CBD), 2x Auto Frozen Biscotti
5x Auto Red Tropicana Cookies
5x Auto Euforia

Plan is to do nothing but topping / fimming them once and the obligatory defoliating.
