Greeting of the day! First of all, thanks to everybody who is engaging and interacting with my diary and myself. I truly enjoy and appreciate you all! The time laps of the first LST is relevant to week 4, but decided to put it here as well for the contrast. For the last week, i have increased watering volumes and put them on regular schedule, and i see pretty massive grow. Jumped from 15 to 35cm in height and thats after the first LST. I am not feeding the girls anything but water with regulated PH. Seems that the soil is rich enough to keep them fed. Today (day 33), ive decided to perform another LST, more radical than the first one. The main stems started to shoot up and it seems that the rest of the body is falling behind in growth, so i bended and twisted around the main columns of 2/3 girls. Is seems that they have reacted extremely positively. I see immediate development of secondary columns (check out the photo right after lst and in 4 hours) Also, I’ve defoliated, well… removed one leaf that I was not able to tuck anywhere. P.S. Oh! got the girls a new fan, specially designed for grow tents. They are happy and so am I. The smell is so nice, if i leave the tent open it fills the room almost immediately. Thanks for stopping by and reading, have a great day and good luck! Will drop updates on the go.

Harvested day 51 due to bananas 🍌. He is under developed and needed 5 or 6 more weeks. I'll dry and test, probably go in edibles.

Almost one week of flushing and they’re showing signs. It smells full on like apples in the box and the buds themselves have an amazing smell. I think that they’ll be done in a week so keep posted.

First off I just want to say for some reason it’s not letting me change the right temperatures on my diaries ! Each time when I put it in they stay at 50. My day air stays 75 degrees an , night degrees is 70 ! Today is day 58 for all these ladies! This week has been really great ! Girls really progressed a lot , especially for one the Forbiddin Runtz, looks like is gonna finish up in a week or 2 ! Other then that they are coming along well! Keep those eyes peeled for next week! Cheers😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨

We come a long way to her final week She is just drinking water now, in 5 days I will harvest. She looks very good. I would leave her another week but I need to harvest on next Thursday. Its been an amazing strain no issues at all. Not the biggest buds I have seen but very very nice smell and quite decent size buds. Looking forward to get final weight.

This week I added a new controller to handle up to 8 functions. I installed a new heater, my old humidifier and some LED strips to the controller. Targeting a VPD at 1.0 day and night. Trying to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 and ph at 6.0 in the reservoirs. Ordered a second ph pen because I don’t trust my readings. Will be here by Thursday. Friday: Checked the ppm in the reservoirs and it’s at 1,000. Added more RO water with extra nitrogen to bring the ppm level down to 925. Saturday: I installed an updated AC Infinity controller 69 Pro Plus (controls 8 pieces of equipment) which allowed me to add a humidifier, corner LEDs and a heater to the controller. Overall I’m extremely impressed with this AC Infinity equipment. My VPD is within the range I want to achieve (.8-1.1). I programmed it to maintain 78 degrees and 67% humidity during the day, 73 degrees and 63% humidity at night. Charts posted also show the impact of an open tent compared to the closed environment. The heater is constantly pushing fresh air into the tent, so I don’t need to cycle the exhaust fan often. Rewired the tent again and moved the controller later that night. I mounted the controller on the wall. Added Mars Hydro UV/IR lighting to fill out all 8 slots on the controller. Sunday: I checked the ph in the reservoirs (6.8….i had filled it with 6.0 ph) and the ppm (1200 ppm…I had filled it with 900). So evaporation and possibly a mismeasurement of ph. I topped ff reservoirs with slightly stronger nutes and adjusted ph to 5.8 in the reservoirs. Poor magnesium absorption could be driving some leaf yellowing. Effective tomorrow, I’m switching over to Heads Formula which consistently feeds GH Flora series nutes at Micro (6ml/g), Bloom (9ml/g) and cal mag (3ml/g). Turned on the UV/IR lights for 3 minutes every 8 hours. I’m easing the plants up to 5 minutes every 6 hours which will provide the recommended 20 minutes of IR per day. This will help the plants stretch a little more. Monday: checked ph and ppm in reservoirs. 6.1ph and 880ppm. VPD remains stable except when I open the tent. Tuesday: checked ph (6.4) and ppm (880) in reservoirs. Added .5ml of ph down to two reservoirs. Still see slight yellowing between the veins but it’s not getting worse (might be improving). Adjusting ph down to 6.0 target might have solved this. The plants grew by 1-2” last night…..is the infrared light working already? Decided to mix up fresh nutes for the reservoirs following Heads formula. 6ml Micro and 9ml Bloom per gallon of RO water. Added 5 ml of CalMag too. Ending ppm was 1080 which is too high, so I diluted down to 880 with RO water. 6.0 ph. Wednesday: plants grew another .75 inches last night. I topped above the 5th node. Thursday: added RO water with heavy cal mag to reservoirs to increase amount of CalMag available.

[DAY 57] - 27/07/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - In the next few days I will raise the EC from 1.2/1.3 up to 1.5/1.7 and increase the bloom dose, at the moment I am still giving the pre-flo dose; - I'm trying to promote the growth of the left side and for this reason I moved the lamp far to the left in order to get more light in those still low points (for two days, then it will come back to the center of the box); - This also allows me to bring the lamp closer to the highest right branch, as it only gets side light. For this reason, despite the proximity there should be no burning problems, I will keep the situation under control; [DAY 58] - 28/07/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.5 - PH 6; - Today I added 1.5 liter to the DWC with this composition: Water EC 0; Silicate and CalMag up to 0.4; A+B up to 1.4; Bloombastic up to 1.7; 0.2 ml/l Hydro booster; 2 ml/l H2O2 [DAY 59] - 29/07/2022 - Lamp 44 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - moved the lamp 10 cm away more to promote stretch (tip by my friend @SwissKush); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.5 - PH 6; - A lot of resin on the leaves, nice smell; - Took a video for a growquestion. [DAY 60] - 30/07/2022 - Lamp 43 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - tomorrow I raise lamp 5 cm more; - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.7 - PH 6; - Removed 3 damaged leaves, with the beginning of next week I will make a big cut under the net, there are too many leaves and flowering sites that do not take light and it is useless to keep them; - She's drinking about 2.5 liter of solution/day [DAY 61] - 31/07/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (23 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 60%; - EC 2 - PH 5.9; - Removed some damaged leaves and a few leaves that were stealing too much light to the lower flowering sites, about fifteen leaves removed. 10 hours to recover from it. Still a lot to cut down there in the coming days when buds begin to form; - The EC went up by about 0.3 in 24 hours, this is due to the Bloombastic, the plant does not want it for now; - From tomorrow I will proceed to a small flush by adding 2 liters of water a day with EC 0 to prepare the DWC for the new feed for the new week (which will start on day 64). [DAY 62] - 1/8/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.8 - PH 5.8; added 2 liter of demineralized water EC 0 - PHed [DAY 63] - 2/8/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT SMART PLUG SAYS: 144 WATT AT 100% DIMMER. I don't like it! - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.6 - PH 6; added 2 liter of demineralized water EC 0 - PHed. Tomorrow I'll replace the whole bucket with new feed EC 1.7 PH 6; - I believe the plant is no longer growing, and I also notice that the buds are slowly swelling. Tomorrow I tie back the main colas and then in the next days I will remove everything that does not get light, I hope it reacts well 🙏

I highly encourage newbies to run with this strain and don’t look back. Super tolerant that produces both yield and quality. Luckily I didn’t run into any deficiencies, disease, or pests. Temps and humidity where on point the entire run. The only neg would be these girls got wayyyy to tall. I had to remove light hangers to gain 5 inches. Even at that I had buds with 5 inches of a 1000w HPS HID. Hood is air cooled so heat wasn’t an issue but one plant def had light stress. Yield and quality is fantastic. I was hoping for a pound for no real reason other than is sounds cool to yield a full 16 ounces. Even more so than yield I was looking for top notch quality and I must say these girls made it. I’m not sure if they reach the 25% THC the strain is known for but either way the can’t be far behind. Smoke tests reveal a smooth smoke with a slight pungent gassy taste. High hit mid way thru lean cone With an energetic yet relaxing high. Lasted over two hours and I’m no light weight. Saved tones of larf nugs, sugar leaves and fans leaves for batches of butter and maybe some hash. Wife wants some fans leaves for a skin lotion. Overall a great run and next run of the 4 best plants is ready to go. Update 5 days after harvest. Buds are starting dry out but still have plenty of moisture. Prob another 5 days till dry. Smell is increasing by the day becoming really pungent. Canna butter came out awesome. Planning on making some bubble hash with sugar leaves and some larf. Update 8 days after harvest. Buds are dry enough for jars. Hanging buds weighed over 13 oz. Still have a bunch drying in racks After jarring for 8 hours, received a pungent odor. I think these girls are gonna stinkkkk. Hoping the taste is there. Potency is 👌. What a great first experience. Happy with this smooth run with no real issues. Can’t be happier with The product at the end. I made some canna butter and tincture. Wife made some skin lotion. I have bubble bags on the way and 2 ounces of leaf matter and an ounce of larf that’ll be going thru a bunch of washes. This growing this is for me. Tons of work and time but in the end it’s worth it.

Started LST this week on the 2 big girls. I’ll give the little the younger one a little bit more time before I start LST with her. They are all growing nice. Plenty of flower sites and responding to LST well. I love the ease of pre-mixing Giaia Green’s nutrients straight into your soil for a “Just add water” grow.

Hi liebe Community! 💚 Nach der sechsten Blütewoche beginnt nun das ausreifen der Pflanze! Ein Dichter Tepich aus Stigmen überzieht die Blütenansätze und allmählich bekommen die Trichome schon eine milchige Einfärbung. Es sind bereits auch vereinzelt Bärenstein farbene Trichhomköofe zu sehen. Aber immer mit der Ruhe. Ich werde die Pflanze nun alle 3 Tage Mal kontrollieren. Ich möchte auch schauen, dass ich einen großen Anteil an Bärenstein farbigen Trichome raus zuholen um einen etwas gechillteren Effekt zu erzielen. Die Ice Cream Haze ist eine richtige fast gainerin. Sie scheint insgesamt (auch bei der regulären Version war es so.) sehr schnell fertig zu werden. Hierzu muss auch gesagt werden dass sich die Blüten sehr rasant entwickeln. Die Buddichte beträgt nun ca 8 bis 9 cm an der dicksten Stelle. Insgesamt ist die Pflanze sehr Vital und hat eine sehr schöne und geradlinige Blütenstruktur😉 Sie liefert eine sehr gute Performance ab Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 24,3°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 1,21 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Hi growmies, The plants are in full flower now and have been defoliated after the hst of last week and seems like she has recovered. I had removed the filter and vent from the box and have the vent suck the air out of the box into the carbon filter, which gave me another 10 cm to play with. The plant consumes around 2 l of nutrient solution in 24 hours. This whole experience is howling me that I have to change the system in the box as I loose to much height with the grow table and the rockwool blocks. Will probably run a 20 l DWC in it, that I am currently working on.

Hello. This is the end of the veg cycle and the first week in flowering. It's May 30/2023. The Breeders Description said 8 to 9 weeks of flowering. That should take us to August 1st. That would be the start of week 9 and Aug. 8th would be the end of week 9, so I plan to harvest around then. The greenhouse looks a little different than last time. My buddy Jerry brought me some bamboo (he went out of his way on his birthday to do that for me) What A nice guy he is. I used 18 of the longest pieces to make a Scrog type of net to hold up the big buds I hope to get. First year to try this bamboo thing. Hope it goes good. I might have to tie it up tighter. I did a good trim/prune, under the table mostly, but did remove some big fanleaves up top that blocked the lower branch ends/tips from seeing good light. I think it's also good to remove the big fanleaves that don't get much light any more. It promotes more growth up top. While trimming I left the branches that were growing straight down. I'll trim them off today for cuttings, for clones I'll make later. I mix 10ml of liquid seaweed with 1 gallon of water to put the cuttings in. I'll make 6 cups for 6 different plants numbered 1 to 6 so I don't mix them up. 😁 I'll pack up the lights later. I'll mix some transition to flowering, nutrient solution tomorrow. That means a little less N and a little more P and K. Thanks for looking in. Chuck.
