@St. Tom
Week 1
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 7
Not much to report she's looking healthy and growing, so it's all good for now

Week 2
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 15
Moved her into her new home (2 gal fabric pot) day 13 and already she's perked up and back to grow mode For feed I'm using GHE Flora Micro 0.6ml/l, Grow 0.9ml/l, Bloom 0.3ml/l and Vitalink Cal/Mag 1ml/l, ph'd to around 6ish I've also been using the Optic Foliar range of Overgrow, Transport, Watts, Rev and Atak (that's why leaves look wet) and so far, she's looking nice and healthy

Week 3
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 22
Only change is I topped her at the 4th node on day 16, apart from that no other changes

Week 4
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 28
No changes but I can safely say the roots have reached the bottom

Week 5
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 35
She's started flowering So I've put her on a bloom feed of, GHE Flora Micro 0.8ml/l, Grow 0.4ml/, Bloom 1.2ml/l and Vitalink Cal/Mag 1.2ml/l, ph'd to around 6.5
She's also shot up in the last week and is standing at a hefty 4ft tall now

Week 6
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 42
I've had to put her on a 12/12 light cycle to finish on, as I'm growing a few photoperiod strains too. I'm hoping it won't affect the final yield to much, we shall see other than that, no other changes

Week 7
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 49
No changes, but thankfully she stopped stretching at 4ft 3in. Starting to get nice and frosty

Week 8
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 56
I removed most of the bottom bits as they were getting no light and I also had to tie some string round her, as she's started flopping all over the shop completely different shape and size to my last Blue Amnesia, she was short and stocky, this one's tall and spindly I've changed the light schedule too, from 12/12 to 13/11, so hopefully the extra hour of light helps

Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 63
No changes to report

Week 10
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 70
Still got another couple of weeks or so I reckon. Not fattening up as much as I hoped, but being under a 13/11 light cycle for the last 5 weeks, it's probably understandable.

Week 12
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Day 83
Just about done I'm gonna give her another week of just water, then chop the unsightly bint if it wasn't for the string holding her somewhat together, she would flop completely over oh well, you can't win em all I suppose

Day 91
Blue Amnesia xxl Auto
Finished
She's definitely not much of a looker, but she smells great and I'm happy enough with the yield, so on to the next

Thanks @St. Tom

@St. Tom already ahead a bit .. I wanted to be prepared if DNF battle will be resumed and it is
Imma go with photo strain this time and outdoor/greenhouse instead of indoor. Quick Gorilla (and yeah I mispelled that on the paper ..foreign stoners .. you know how it goes .. )

Mark sent me some seeds in like january so I should be probably in the "seeded" list

If someone wants any details, whole grow is in my signature .. theres probably everything you would like to know ... And now for the pics ..

here's my week 1cookie update day 2 and 4 as i germed another

here are my girls day 12 and 14 the younger girl is my battle plant in the autopot

2 cookies at day 14 and 16 i also decided to put the 2nd cookie in a 2ltr cup as I've done 4 in solo cups and i thought let her stretch her legs and now there on early veg food of an ec of 1.0 of emerald harvest

These 2 girls have really took off now and check the roots on this 2ltr girl

Day 42 I'm very happy with both my cookies and here is my battle girl she's now on flower food at an ec of 1.3

Problem week I lost a lot of the colour out of her in a couple of days but in that back corner I often have issues so maybe air circulation and lockout so she's of the res now being top fed

week 8 shes got a lot more colour now

here is my cookie in the corner and her 2 ltr sibling in front at day 71 so i will be chopping her within say 10 days

Final update photos of Auto OG Kush at day 89.
This was a pleasure to grow. The only problem was dialing in the correct Cal/Mag dosage. I had bought a different brand (Cali-Magic.) and I never got it right until I ordered another bottle of Earth Juice Oily Can Cal/Mag with Humic acid. I had used it for all my previous grows. I won't say one is better than the other, just better for me.

 

[Proph]

I messed up on the sign.. Oh well, lol. Direct to soil germ.. They popped up a day ago. 2 Blue Kush autos ready to go!

Germ pic
Strains: Purps #1 and Purple Afgan Kush
Notes: Day 1 above ground (barely). Popped their heads from the jiffy starter, so I plunked them right into a 3 gallon RainScience Grow Bag filled with 60% coco and 40% hydroton.

Update #1
Strains: Purps #1 and Purple Afghan Kush
Day 11 above ground for both.
Notes: soaking up some good light from CobShop's AutoCobs. Have had two tiny drinks of Prescription Blend at the "Sprout" dilution mix. In these photos they are glistening from their daily misting. Journal is active, and listed in my Signature.

Update #2
Strains: Purps #1 and Purple Afghan Kush
Day 14 above ground for both.
Notes: Purps#1 is doing OK, though not totally truckin' with well formed leaves yet. But Purple Afghan Kush is dying off. So I'm dropping another seed as a replacement.

Update #3
Strains: Purps #1 and Purple Afghan Kush
Day 27 above ground for Purps #1.
Notes: Well, its been 12 days since my last photo update. The 1st P.Afghan Kush is virtually dead. The 2nd one, started at the last update, sprouted but then did not grow, instead it died within four days. So now we're dropping a 3rd; obviously, I really want to grow one of the Purple Afghan Kush plants.

Here is as far as the 2nd one got:

Here's the drop of the 3rd:

Meanwhile .... the Purps#1 is finally well settled in and doing beautifully. At 27 days I'm thinking of giving her a topping soon.

Update #4
Strain: Purps #1
Day 34 above ground
Notes: she seems to be doing quite well; good color, good growth, no visible anomalies. She got topped 3 days ago and handled it just fine.

Update #6
Strain: Purps #1
Day 40, week 6. Moved her out of the crowded tent and into a utility room under her own dedicated COB light. Enjoying the vegetative mix of Prescription Blend. Looking very healthy, Nice and bushy, but not much height stretch yet.

And, a week later, here we are at day 47, week 7. Big changes -- I removed the COB and moved her around so that I could activate my Amare SE450UVB light. This should get things going. Also, two days ago I performed a 2nd topping operation -- this time in 4 places among the secondary shoots. I can already see vertical development.

Yep, now we're cooking. Its another week .... day 56, week 8 and we're getting some descent stretch going. A little LST helps too.

Update #7
Strain: Purps #1
Day 68 (week 9) and oh boy are we now getting some nice action. A couple of days ago space opened up in a tent, so she's out of the utility room and now has a proper environment - also under the Amare SolarSpec SE450UVB light. Currently at about 23" height. Got another round of topping yesterday. Loving the Prescription Blend nutrients. :smoking:

Update #8
Strain: Purps #1
Day 78 (week 10) Did a tiny bit of defoliating. Need to stop topping and open her open more for some vertical stretch before switching over to 12/12 light cycle. Overall, loving her development. :smoking:

By the way, my Update #6 (post # 115 on pg 12) documented 3 separate weeks of photos: week 6, 7, and 8. My Update #7 (post # 117 on pg 12) contained photos of week 9. Sorry that my Posting Updates and my documenting of each week of the grow do not align 1-for-1.

Update #9
Strain: Purps #1
Day 88 - she's now been on the 12/12 light schedule for 7 days, and today is clearly showing pre-flower development. You can see a bit of red duck-tape around white paper towel on the lower stalk -- that's a splint to address a bad split in the forked stalk due to me being too aggressive trying to tie open the branches with pipe-cleaners. Hope the triage works. Meanwhile, I've removed all tie downs and instead installed my Atlas Plant Trainer stakes. That should provide support and some more gentle separation of the branches.

Update #12
Strain: Purps #1
Day 120 for Purps#1 -- and 39 days on the 12/12 cycle. Still got a couple of weeks to go.

@St. Tom
At last I can start my Dinafem grow. Here’s my Germ pic. I’ll get a diary started imminently!

Cookies Autoflowering, first plant now above ground! Hope the other 2 pop soon!

Day 7
Dinafem Cookies Autoflowering
One week on from the first plant popping up and we have 2 happy looking plants and one that’s only just decided to show up to the party. Will let the late one go on for a bit to see if it survives!

Day 15 update
Dinafem Cookies Autoflowering
Sadly one of the 3 beans didn’t make it she popped, showed her cotyledons then just didn’t grow and just dried up. The other 2 are going well though:

Day 25: Time flies, didn’t even realise it’s been 10 days since I did an update!

Currently watering every other day with 500ml water and 1ml per litre of fishmix (and 1ml pl of algamic every other watering)

Both survivors are doing well, probably a blessing that number 3 didn’t make it, there’s really not enough space for 3 plants in my tent:

Day 37: can’t believe we’re at day 37 already! These ladies are quite compact in comparison to other Autos I’ve grown, hope they give the yield is like!
So now watering each with 750ml every 2 days. 2ml fishmix, 1ml bloom added this week too. Getting 1ml calmag each week just to be sure. Tiny bit of nute burn appearing on the upper leaf tips, but nothing to worry about.

Day 57: sorry I’ve not posted in a while, life has been getting in the way!
So although both of these are Cookies, both have had exactly the same feed and watering schedule, I seem to have a problem with one of the ladies. I think it’s a Ca def but please correct me if I’m wrong. Pics below

What do you guys think it is?

Other than this spotting on one of them, they’re looking good
