Seeing some initial plumping by FD 30 and even more in the current pictures. BBxGS - going strong and similar to previous plants of this strain. Grandpa's Stash - Loving the aromas. Except for 1 plant, definitely the fastest development rate so far Banana Hammock - The primary cause of the massive stink throughout my house, I think. Also develioping quickly. Overall, the plants are healthy. Some blemishes here or there. Had some trouble keeping up with RH, so I removed some leaves. I have been topping off the 3 hammocks and 2 bbxgs plants with plain water immediately following a fertigation. They were lookin too lush. I've done this 5-6 times over the last week and adding less than a 1/2 gallon to each. However, i think the night time temps dropping to 67-68F are the cause at this point and i am seeing purple creep into leaves not a toxicity. Have had some minor tip paling on 1 of the hammocks for at least 7-10 days, but it never progressed. If i get some exotic colors in these as they progress, i don't think this is necessarily a nute-related issue at this point. I upped K ppm when i initially saw it, but only slightly. Think these plants are just on the dark side. Thinking these will have dark purple leaves like my Dinafem OG Cookies grow. Even so, will continue to dilute just in case on the darker plants and cease doing that if i see a hint of deficiency. While trichome production has been great from an early stage of flower, I've been a bit disappointed by it lately. The ethos plants seem to be lagging a bit, but also seeing it on stems and petioles. The bbxgs plants continue to cake it on. I don't smoke stems, petioles or leavs, so it isn't a major concern. All that matters is the aerial density of trichomes on the calyxes. I'm sure they'll be okay. The smell is really intense for the last week. My house smells like it is harvest day, every day. Love it! Climate pics added / update - You can see where dehum settings change at end of day. It can barely keep up when plants are trasnpiring. I had to remove leaves in order for it to maintain 50% during lights on. Temps are consistent as long as outside weather isn't unusually warm. Like I've said before, probably operating a bit too high in VPD, but concentration of fertilizer is reduced slightly and the VPD at the leaf, where it matters, is probably a bit lower than these readings. Probe is 6" under canopy and would be more accurate if placed in the middle of it. Night time VPD used to be equal or even a bit higher before i started trackign this stuff. I've got that flipped back to normal, but no idea if that is a benefit or just my own OCD. According to what i've read, it shouldn't be more than .4 kPa below daytime VPD. At least that part has some research behind it as to why. A week of tweaking behaviours and settings at specific points in time has lead to as consistent of an environment as i'm going to get relatiave to what i'm willing to invest (time/effort). The night time graphs are an hour short because they are of the day of this update. Close enough for display purposes. I will make a spreadsheet that will link to the exported date file of the probe at some point. For now the graphs in the app are good enough. I want to collect a lot more data in future. Start to figure out just how impactful some of this is or is not. Ambient weather outside, growth measured in multiple ways (height / number of nodes), incremental use of water/fertilizer electricity (already have a good guage of this) etc etc.. Gonna do a full statstilal analysis andn regression of various factors over time... come back in 10-20 years, LOL. Then again, may proclivity for laziness may be a factor too.

Very easy to grow, amazing aromas very mango strong tropical smell, very delicious, just like her sisters, I think it's a very stable genetic because 3 out of 4 were purple and the 4 of them have the same mango smell, very good automatic strain! 🌱 💚 💎

Forgot to record last week (due to being too high) but here’s week 4 they seem to be doing great😄.

She was grown in a 24 oz. cup with NO ISSUES.. Which leads me to believe that "rootbound" is nothing but a myth.. I have grown 4 other girls in even smaller cups.. Same outcome.. No issues whatsoever.. I will be updating more as the harvest progresses.. Im going to dry and cure the same way I did the White Widow I recently harvested.. Which is.. In the box I will run the fan for 24 - 48 hours.. Once I notice the plant is beginning to shrivel up some I will stop using the fan and go with how the buds feel.. I would rather jar them up too early because if the hygrometer reads 70% humidity then I can just lay her out for another few hours and jar her back up.. Once she is able to sit in the jar and doesnt go over 68% than i will only burp once every 2 or 3 days for about a week.. It all depends how dry she gets before curing.. Not going to count my chickens before they hatch.. That is just the way I have been able to dry and cure without ruining any terpenes since my environment is not all that great for drying and curing cannabis.. Anyways.. Will be updating as I go!!! So happy and excited.. But when I wake up I already know that Im going to jump up to check on her in the tent like I have been for the past 106 days lol.. Anyways.. Will be updating!!! Day 108.. About 20 hours after harvesting.. She is still smelling lovely.. In the past it would start smelling like hay.. But I've figured out how to slow the drying process down with my awful environment.. I also cut the fan off for now.. I may cut it back on later today or tomo.. We shall see!!! Day 109.. About 48 hours of drying.. Not sure if its the box I'm smelling along with the skunk.. But it's kinda smelling a bit weird.. Almost hay like.. Ugh.. I will be PISSED if I ruined this one.. Stems are still super bendy.. Not even close to snapping.. I'm going to leave the fan off for now.. The warmth in the room the box is in is probably enough to help dry.. Hopefully not gonna dry too fast.. Leaves are still not crisp.. So that's another good sign.. We will see what happens!!! So excited to give this nasty bitch a taste!!! Day 4 of drying (after harvest)... Ok.. So I havent been noting anything down.. But this is what has happened so far.. The plant was pretty much dry on the 3rd morning.. Or so it felt.. Crispy.. Smaller stems were snapping.. So I put it in jars.. I havent weighed it yet tho.. Will do that later.. But after about 12 hours in the jars (3 Qt sized jars btw) the hygrometers were reading 72%, 74% and 78%.. So I left them out overnight for about 16 hours or so.. Maybe not even that long.. I put them in jars early this morning and left for work.. After about an hour or 2 in the jars, they were reading about 56% - 57%.. I hope I didnt over dry them overnight.. I went ahead and grabbed a nice sized nug to teat out for today.. Stoned asf.. Thats for sure.. But the smoke is still pretty harsh.. I can smell the skunk for sure still.. Its actually really stinky lol.. Like, not an attractive smell whatsoever lol.. But its for sure the terpenes.. Not any issues with them.. But when I get home.. I'll be able to get a better, longer reading on the huds today after last nights drying... ... Later.. Ok so one jar is reading at 62% second jar is reading 57% and the last jar is ready 54%... They all still smell great : 1: but I'm wondering if a nug from the 62% jar is not going to be as harsh as the jar at 54%.. Hmm.. May try that out later tonight.. ... Even later.. Lol So yeah the 62% jar is much smoother.. No harshness whatsoever.. Ok.. I see where I make my mistakes.. But can still save the smells and tastes.. Im sure the other jars will eventually lose the harshness.. I hope.. My Berry Ryder never lost any harshness.. That was harvested and a little overdried like over 6 months ago.. Still harsh.. But this strain doent smell like hay.. The worst smell you can smell when it comes to drying and curing.. For me atleast.. If it smells like hay.. The tepenes are long gone lol.. I have had my first 3 harvests come out like f'n hay.. But I think I got it figured out.. For the most part.. Just need to get better temps in drying.. Hmm.. Fuck it.. Maybe even use a evaporative cooling humidifier in the room with it.. Not in the box (obviously cuz the one I got would fill the drying box pretty much.. Its huge asf).. Load it up with ice daily.. Damn I forgot I had that thing.. I need it for my tent now actually.. Got a 20oz cup with a 4 week old ZkittleZ Glue (Photoperiod) from Expert Seeds.. Not even flowering yet that already smells dank asf.. Flippin it in the next few couple days actually.. Dont have a diary on her tho..anyhoo.. Will be updating and adding some updated pics in the AM... About 4 days of curing... Well each jar is a bit different.. I am noticing that jar #1 is at 63% humidity and smells dank as fuuuuck.. No need for any humidity pack.. At least not right now. Jar #2 is at 58% humidity with a humidity pack and it smells pretty danky as fucky too.. But not as strong as jar #1.. And jar #3 is at 55-56% humidity with a humidity pack and doesnt really smell much.. It does.. But for sure not as strong as jar #1 and #2.. Which brings me to my next issue.. I bought these Integra Boost 62% Humidity Packs... They worked well about 6 months ago.. I left these others sealed up and protected for ANYTHING.. and now they fucking suck.. Is there a time limit on these fuckers? Does Boveda 62 Packs do the same shit??? Ugh.. Wasted money like a mf'r.. If I took the packs out of jar #2 and #3 it would not change the humidity whatsoever.. I thought they would at least do SOMETHING.. a couple more digits up.. But hell no.. I even handled the fuck out of them hoping to stir em up and "active" em or some shit lol.. But nope.. Nothing.. These things suck.. Boveda 62 is my next purchase.. But I'll wait for my next harvest.. Smh.. Maybe if I double up they will work better? Such a fucking waste.. It was about 65 or 66 grams all together.. I already smoked about a gram to try it out.. So now ill just say its 64 grams. Not bad for a 24 oz cup grow in my opinion... By the way.. Integra Boost 62% Humidity Packs SUCK!!!. They did work the first time I used them. But about 30 - 60 days later I used 2 more gor these jars.. And it cant keep anything above what it naturally was in the jar.. Sometimes I feel like mixing them up in their package.. Like crumpling the whole thing up and moving all the gel, or whatever thats inside, around to help.. Activate it?? Lol it brought it up 1%.. Thats it.. I even put 4 of them in a jar of bud that was already 58%.. With all 4 Integra Boost packs.. 60% on a good day lol.. Boveda packs too a few days to start working.. But ai had to kinda "activate" them as well.. After 4 days of "activating" and NOW the jars are 62% - 63% from natually about 57% and 58%... The third jar is natually at 62% - 63% so I just burp that one once a week.. Smells so super skunky! Tastes amazing.. Nugs are pretty dense also.. Lots of red hairs (dead pistils) which kinda help for the bag appeal more than anything.. As a kid growing up.. I always thought it was the hairs that got you high.. I also thought that you could just plant them outside anytime of the year.. And that the thc was stored in the roots.. Thats why they hang plants upside down.. So my first couple harvests as a kid (2 grams max and only flowered for probably 5 weeks if not only 4) and hug the entire plant upside down including the dirty ass roots that I had in the mud ai was using to grow them in. Smh.. What was I thinking?!?! Haha... Anyways.. Boveda packs are working.. Integra Boost packs stop working if you dont use them up within a month.. Smh.. Trash.. Fucking trash

The plant had to recover because of a defoliation but it's still doing amazing. Depending on how it is going I will think about changing the pot

Today I harvested after about 24 hours with lights turned on. The smell is strong lemon with a hint of mint :) I cant wait to taste her when its dry, and in my opinion it smells and looks good :) Had some problems with temperature, but with some gear improvements I think I got the right solution for it for next time. As this is my first try doing this im pretty happy, but ofcourse there is room for improvements :) Thanks to everyone for checking in on my diary and the likes! :) Happy growing and peace 🌲✌️ Total dry weight - 338grams 🌲

UPDATE GUYS!!!!! So the girls are doing great I got some new genetics also I'll be doing for my next grows and so forth, but yea just watering as necessary, I really really feel that this process is a learning curve for me lol, mainly because I've learned from the past that everything comes with progress trial and error, so I'm learning which I accept so its okay its okay haha but things are progressing and ill stay up to date with this for you guys thanks!!!!

Привет садоводы Началась пятая неделя вроде все впорядке , вот только верхние листики начали портиться не знаю с чем это связано либо лампа была слишком близко , либо недостаток или переизбыток питательных веществ

17 July 2018 - Considerable size increase from both root and stem structure to the leaf development. Heat has and is an issue. Slight nutrient burnt tips, as nutrients was increased drastically. 20 July 2018 - Mainlined CP from 4 nodes to just her 2nd nod. Notice the stress.

Lst went well. She is the smallest girl out of the bunch but excited to she how she holds up. Gave her a top feeding of ecothrive charge for the intense training in the next few weeks. She bounced back from lst the next day and I topped her for the first time on the 5th node. It was a bit daunting as this is my first time topping. Looking forward to the next few weeks with all the girls. Seeing them grow into thick lush women. I am considering scrogging all these girls. It will be my first time doing this so any advice would be really appreciated. Also I will be super cropping them as I have never done that either. You can’t really do many things with autos, apart from watch them and lst. Photos are way more forgiving and I think I will be doing this type of growing from now on. On another note, I will be taking cuttings a week before flipping to 12/12. If anyone has good advice in that department, then I would be very grateful if you can give me any advice. Happy growing xxx
