Halo shalom buenas dias! All week been strugling witg the nitrogen overload that my soil in giving my poor plants. Tried washing out, but no significant results. However, adding PK (half of the recommended dose) gives really positive results, i see the buds develop more, however the leaves are also there. I’m really confused by the way the three plants are completely different on rip ess stage, bud formation and growth overall. They get absolutely same treatment and sit in the same tent. My feeling is that i have around a week with 2/3 plants and around two weeks with the “flagship” Today is 56 days since germination. Any suggestions how to dry plants during an active grow? Will the light somehow interfere?

Gebe ihr noch eine Woche Zeit um das Zelt besser auszufüllen und noch einige Triebe mehr zu entwickeln bevor ich sie dann endlich in die Blöte schicke. Alle unteren Blätter und Triebe wurden entfernt. Auch ‚Lollipopping‘ genannt. Bis jetzt wurde sie mit 300 Watt gedimmt beleuchtet.

July 27: starting the second week of force flowering by providing 10 h darkness in garage plus ‘2 bonus hours’ from the 730 nm far red light. The use of the far red light is like getting a 26 hour day. So 12 h dark plus 14 h sunlight. Anyway, she is stretching a bit and clearly starting to flower. Looks good. New growth is pretty yellow so did a foliar spray of Epsom salts to give her Mg and S. July 30: great conditions the last few days and she is growing great. Mostly just pHed water lately to avoid over-doing it on the nutes. Looks healthy and happy. Aug 2: watered with some molasses and about 1 tbsp per gallon of Epsom salts (MgSO4). Still doing 10 h in dark garage and using the 730 nm far red light to get an extra 2 h in dark mode.

The black cherry gushers has a really amazing smell I can’t put my finger on what it is but trust me. I also like the nodal spacing just a strong pretty plant for sure.

Všechno probíhá hladce, jediné co nedodržuji je vpd. Musím říct, že club41 je neskutečný... Osypany jako kdyby na něm byl půl roční prach a to máme teprve 5 týden a bez UV. Další kolo pojedu s UV doplnkem a opravdu mě zajímá jak to dopadne.

🌿 WEEK REPORT – BHO EXTRACTION (MIXED SPECTRUM) A Deep Dive Into My Process, My Medicine, and Safe Extraction Hello my beautiful friends, lovers, haters, followers, non-followers — the whole amazing community. 💚 Today I bring you something special. Something many ask about, something many are curious about, something many fear because they simply don’t understand it yet. BHO extraction. But done my way — patient, safe, respectful, and rooted in decades of experience. This run is a mixed-spectrum extraction made from the leftovers of my last grow cycle — a blend of gorgeous genetics from Zamnesia Seeds (thank you, Zamnesia, always 🙏💚). When I say “mixed spectrum,” I mean it: multiple strains, different cannabinoids, different terpene profiles… all coming together into one unique batch of medicine. Every run ends up with its own personality. 🔥 WHAT IS BHO? BHO stands for Butane Hash Oil, a concentrate extracted using butane as the solvent. The goal is simple: ➡️ Separate the essential oils (cannabinoids + terpenes) from the plant material. What we get after proper processing is a potent, clean, flavorful resin with a high concentration of cannabinoids. People call the final product by many names depending on texture: • Shatter • Wax • Crumble • Sap • Pull & Snap • Honey Oil Mine usually ends up somewhere between sap and wax, depending on the blend. MY EXTRACTION METHOD – SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE, RESPECTFUL I use open-blast extraction with a metal tube, fitted with: a filter on the bottom small holes for controlled flow high-quality butane Here’s my process from A to Z: 1️⃣ Pack the tube I fill the metal tube with the dried material — in this case a mix of Zamnesia genetics. No need to overpack. No need to grind. I prefer a gentle hand. 2️⃣ Blast with butane (OUTDOORS ONLY) I ALWAYS do this outdoors. Never inside. Never in a garage. Never near fire. Safety is the number one rule: butane is invisible, odorless, and EXTREMELY explosive. I blast through the tube, letting the golden oil drip into a silicone plate. 3️⃣ Let the magic (and patience) work Once the extraction is complete, the plate sits in a safe, ventilated place. This is the part many people rush — but not me. I let it dry naturally, slowly, gently. All the butane must evaporate — completely. 4️⃣ Collect and work it After it dries, I scrape everything with a silicone tool and begin working it: stretching, folding, pulling, spreading — giving it that texture we are all after. 5️⃣ Long cure (at least 2 months) This is the heart of the process. I cure my BHO the same way some people cure their finest wine or aged cheese. Two months minimum. No shortcuts. This ensures: all residual butane is gone flavor improves dramatically effect becomes smoother, richer, more medicinal terpenes settle into a stable profile This is how I guarantee my final product is clean and safe for consumption. ⚠️ A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE BHO extraction is NOT something to take lightly. You are working with a volatile, explosive gas — and for 99% of people, the ONLY safe way to do this is: 👉 OUTDOORS, in wide open space, with full ventilation. I cannot stress this enough: Butane is invisible, it pools low to the ground, and one spark is enough. Now — because I always want to be transparent with you all — here’s the truth: Yes, I do my extractions indoors. But only because: I have proper airflow and extraction fans zero flames, zero sparks, zero electronics a fully controlled environment experience doing this for decades and I'm 100% focused on safety every second of the process This DOES NOT mean anyone should copy me. I repeat: Do it outside unless your setup is engineered for safety and you fully understand the risks. Here are the universal rules: 👉 No smoking 👉 No flames 👉 No stoves, boilers, heaters 👉 No phones charging nearby 👉 No static electricity 👉 NEVER inside a closed room 👉 ALWAYS prioritize safety over speed If anyone wants to take extraction seriously, research closed-loop systems. They recover solvent, control pressure, and are the industry standard. Even though I personally use an open system, I encourage everyone to explore the safer alternatives. I personally use an open system, but closed-loop systems:• recycle the solvent • allow pressure control • yield cleaner extracts • are the professional standard Anyone serious about the craft should at least know the difference. 🌈 THE RESULT — MIXED SPECTRUM MEDICINE What comes out of this run is a beautiful, full-spectrum concentrate with: ✨ mixed terpene layers ✨ mixed cannabinoids ✨ the character of ALL strains combined A perfect example of: “Whole harvest in one drop.” Each hit carries: • fruity notes • earthy tones • some bright citrus • some deep hashy flavors And the effects? Balanced, full-body, mind-and-soul medicine. Perfect for pain, anxiety, relaxation, sleep — depending on dosage. 🙏 THANK YOU, EVERYONE Thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics. Thanks to this amazing community for the love and even for the hate — both push me forward. Thanks to everyone watching, learning, supporting, and walking with me through this green life. 🌱💚 I am grateful for every one of you.

--- **Week 6 from clone – Zowahh (Karma Genetics) The second week of flowering is going smoothly. The plants are showing healthy bud development and stretching steadily. I performed a lollipopping session to improve airflow and focus energy on the top bud sites. Overall, the plants are looking vibrant and thriving under stable conditions. Excited to see how they progress in the coming weeks!

So I had a little less nutrient last week then i needed. Def a calcium deficiency. I think it's clearing up but this plant has spot all over it. I changed the water, gave it the right amount of nutrients and a little exra hydrated lime for calcium. Hydro is hard. I hoping It's not sick. I hope It doesn't get the other plants sick. Just a few weeks left.

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana non ho applicato stress alla piccola, ma ho guardato l'evoluzione che ha avuto dando i nutrienti. Ora ha un odore davvero intenso ed uno strato di resina pauroso, vediamo come si riprende dalla defogliazione che ho fatto settimana scorsa. Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Heavy dense buds, covered in sticky frosty trichomes. Candy Kush is a true joy to watch grow and I think she'll be sticky around in my garden for a while. Will update in 6-7 days with the dry weight and smoke report.

Week 3 is starting off busy. Day 14 I finally got some Bone Meal. So, I added 2 more inches on topsoil. 1st I added 1/4 cup of Bat Guano ea., 1/3 cup Bone Meal ea., 2tbsp of Potassium Nitrate and Calcium Nitrate ea. Lightly mixed into top 1" of coco. Then I added 1-1/2" of Canna coco mix (perlite10%, worm casting25%) over top of soil. Then, I topped it of with cedar chips spread over both surfaces. Day 15, 12noon I watered both girls with 1/2Lt of 6.4PH water only. 8pm I decided to LST a couple of umbrella leaves each. Hope it helps with light penetration. There's a bunch of new growth under those two leaves. How does it look so far.... Day 18: Lot of changes... Switched my lights around. The TS-1000 made heat where the Pro2 Epistar 400W didn't. Was just a hunch but as soon as I changed the temp of the room went down 8degrees. The TS-100 was directly under the exhaust fan. Cool... Took the fan out and modified the base to give some more floor room, then added a humidifier. Was going to install a DIY Co2 generator but my silicone must he too old and didn't dry. I'll clean off, fix and install tomorrow. Ladies look great, I removed the LST wires from the two umbrella leaves. 2 days were enough to get the under foliage to grow past them. Watered 1Lt "water only" PH 6.2 each plant. Added some Epson Salt to foliar spray and cleaned off the leaves on each plant.

Day 1 of week 8 , about 3 weeks left until harvest. The buds have a higher percentage of amber pistils. The buds are getting a bit wider and their hairdo is a bit less spiked. Some minor issues with low humidity in the seedling stage. Once past the seedling stage this was a very easy grow. After my daily reservoir change I noticed after moving a few buds that yes i'm smelling licorice . It smells exactly like licorice sticks . I also get pine and some other spice, maybe cloves. My carbon filter still keeps the smell under control but opening the tent gives you a good slap. Buds look close to being ready . I will do a trichome check Sunday and a video. OK I took a few trichome pictures today at 8 complete weeks (Saturday ). This is my first photo period grow so I want to go close to the 10 week Cropking suggested flowering time.

This plant looks stunning, I love this strain, I enjoyed a lot last year, her flowers are absolutely 🔝 quality, and I love that strange sweet gasoline smell, I can't wait to transplant this lady and make her become a nice bush like I did last year, this lady has been Transplanted on day 34 since planted may 5th! Can't wait to start training this lady!

It is day 30 and we are finally seeing some growth starting after a few days of being locked out due to what I believe is from nutrient burn. Won’t go as heavy next top dress. I have ordered a soil ph pen which will be arriving tomorrow so that I can’t test my soil ph and the run off. Until then I have ph'd the water to 6.0 to hopefully stimulate more growth before flower. These plants are very short but stacked! I can’t wait to see how big they are at pre flower. After it’s 3rd week stretch. Reach for the skies bitches! Watering less aswell. I believe iam overwatering because I go days without seeing these girls. Exhale c02 bag doing well. Resembles mould at the moment. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who’s visited my diary. I hope to bring you great content! Always open to helpful suggestions. Stay tuned! Day 34 and we are at pre flower. See those hairs comin. Now they all gonna streeeeeetch. Drop a comment, like, or just offer me some advice. We’re all family here ✌️. Doin a little LST now that the space between the nodes are far enough for me to feel comfortable doing so. There was no where to put them no matter how slow I tried haha. Also have each girl in something that resembles the cross face chicken wing from the WWE. Little fan on fan action. It’s like the leaves were meant to stuck together. The knotches in the leaves interlock I mean. I stretch the upper fan leaf to the one directly below it. Opening up both shoots. Hope they made sense lmao.
