This was the girls last week! I decided to call them finished on day 63 the tricomes are almost all cloudy, with a small amount of amber. I’ve learned that they continue to degrade as you dry and cure your flower, so I’m trying something new for me, and pull them a little earlier than I usually would. In addition, after watching a podcast (Dude Grows Show) if you don’t know, check it out… I decided to run the lights for 18 hours instead of 12/12 for the last 5 days before harvest. The idea behind this, is to stress the plant enough to increase its natural sunblock/protections, which would be terpenes and tricomes just before you harvest, while also possibly quickening the finishing time for your plant. The group was discussing the benefits of this (listed above) while some already had implemented these practices when finishing plants. The recommended time to run extra light time would be around the last 5-9 days of the plant, without having any nanners or weirdness happening with your plants. Anyways, they finished amazing, sticky, stinky and heavy ❤️ the Terps are crazy on these strains….Harvest details to come. Thanks for stopping by 💚🇨🇦👊

July 7, 2024 Day 78 This week we switch to Overdrive and stop the Big Bud. It's the last 2 weeks of flower and then a week of flush. Then 2 weeks of drying and then about 3 to 4 weeks of curing. after that, I can smoke it. Lol. All 4 ladies got a half gallon top feed with just recharge, and the reservoirs refilled with the new nutrients. I was going to water until runoff, but I think it's just a waste at this point. Plus bottom feeding doesn't require runoff. Depending on how they feel tomorrow, I might add the other half gallon to each and get that runoff. Or very close to it. Sour Diesel A has started picking up the pace with drinking. She is drinking just as much as C and D. Super frosty and starting to really pack on the weight. A couple branches are starting to sway at the slightest touch. Hopefully the heavy buds won't pull the branch down. Sour Diesel B is looking great! A little bit of foxtailing and larf on the bottoms, but the tops look great! Tons of bud and big buds to boot. Sour Diesel C is also swaying a bit at the slightest touch. I expect that from her. Her branches are strong but thin and long. Her buds definitely didn't swell up like B and D, but they are solid and covered in trichomes. Sour Diesel D was the dry one this week. I ended up dumping the whole reservoir from the other day so I could start the new regimen. She was dry and anaerobic for a bit. The half gallon of top feed really helped. It took some time to get it all wet, but in the end, the half gallon seems to be fine. The environment is still high humidity in the morning and lower when the AC kicks on. Currently it's 81° outside and the temp in the tent is 75°. But with my personal AC on, it drives the humidity way up. Currently it's at 62% in the tent. It'll probably climb even more now that I watered everyone. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 58.0% VPD: 1.24 kPa July 8, 2024 Not much going on today. All 4 ladies have their water and feel good. Sour Diesel A looks great! As usual, frosty and smelly as ever. Sour Diesel B has slightly canoeing leaves. They are also starting to brighten up. Must be getting close to the end. Sour Diesel C has drooping leaves. Not sure why. I'll have to research. Sour Diesel D is looking super good. Lush green leaves. Huge main cola and more frost. The environment is the same as yesterday. High humidity, but somehow today it's below 60%. Hopefully it will go below 50% this afternoon. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 57.5% VPD: 1.21 kPa July 9, 2024 It's picture day! Not much else going on though. Just a check up on the plants and that's it. Sour Diesel A looks great! One issue I know I'm going to run into is sagging branches. One of her branches already needed to be pulled back up and tied to a bigger branch. The buds just weight a lot for the branch. Funny though, I've been using silica and that should have strengthened the branches. Not that they are super weak, but they are thin. I'll have to keep an eye on her. Sour Diesel B is outstanding. Huge solid buds. Tons of frosty frost. I'll probably start checking trichomes next week. It's too early to see anything significant. Sour Diesel C is a little lighter than the other 3. She also has some seriously droopy leaves and I have no idea why. I don't think it's a lighting issue. Underwatering could also be a thing, but she got top fed 2 days ago as well as the bottom feed system. It's moist, but definitely not as wet as I would have hoped on the bottom. I think I'm going to actually have to water to runoff with her. I don't really know what else to do. Sour Diesel D is looking good as well. Super fat buds and super hard to boot. And it hasn't even been 3 days of the Overdrive. I can only imagine how hard the buds will be at the end. The environment is starting to calm down a bit. Unfortunately I have to keep my crap ass AC on and it's bringing in humidity as always. So the humidity in the tent is around 59% to 60%. The temp was high this morning at 80°. A bit warm for this stage. It should be around 74° to 75°. But it's back to the mark now. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.31 kPa July 10, 2024 Watered all 4 ladies today. Each got a half gallon full nutrients with Recharge. Only 1 needed to get a reservoir refill. Sour Diesel A is looking super good. I had to tie another branch up today. The frost on her buds is super insane. I'm loving it. I'm sure there is better frosty plants, but this is awesome. Sour Diesel B is looking super good. Her leaves are canoeing and starting to point up. A sure sign she's starting to finish up. She also has 1 purple sugar leaf. So it looks like the fade is also starting as well. Sour Diesel C is looking kind of weird. Her top fan leaves are droopy and the bottoms are fine. But it's only the big top leaves. Strange indeed. If anyone is reading this, any insights? Comment below with what you think it may be. Sour Diesel D is super frosty as well. Her buds are massive and heavy. It seems like her side branches are starting to get weighed down a little bit. She's not even close to fading, but her leaves are a beautiful lush green. She needed a full reservoir top off today. The rest are about half empty now. It's super humid today. 79% outside. Her temp is still right where it needs to be, but the humidity is higher than it has been lately. Obviously due to the super humid day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 58.7% VPD: 1.17 kPa July 11, 2024 It's picture day! Not much going on today. Sour Diesel A is looking really good with her super frosty buds. She seems to be holding the water from yesterday and also trimming from the reservoir. Looking good. Sour Diesel B is amazing. Her buds are all dense and bright green like Sour Diesel is supposed to be. She's super frosty, but she is also canoeing. Not sure why. Maybe too much light? I doubt it though. The DLI is around 45 mol/m²/d. Sour Diesel C needed more water. She was already half the weight she was yesterday after watering. She's also drinking the reservoir. So she got another half gallon top feed today. I even got some runoff. She should be good for the next couple of days. Her buds are super frosty, just like A. Honestly, I think they are the same phenotype. I thought A was more similar to B in the beginning of the grow, but the bud structure and leaves are all the same between A and C. Smaller tight buds. Tons and tons of frost. Sour Diesel D is looking pretty good. I really wish she had taken off like she should have. I expected a much taller plant without training. It's fine though. The massive cola is making up for it. Maybe it will be a 2 oz cola. Lol. The environment is still a mess. It's rainy and humid today, but not too warm. The humidity in the tent currently is 66%. Ridiculously high. The temp is around 79 for now. I need to turn my AC back on I think and just deal with the humidity. The temp can't stay over 78° if I want super frosty buds. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 60.2% VPD: 1.18 kPa July 12, 2024 Not much going on today. Just the daily picture. Some observation and that's about it. No watering is needed and the reservoirs are all filled with water. Sour Diesel A is looking great! Her buds are definitely getting super fat and swelling up. A couple tops are making little flowers all around. It makes them look even fatter. Sour Diesel B is happily starting the fade. Just one leaf for now, but the rest aren't far behind. I'm guessing over the next week, we will get a beautiful fade. Hopefully the buds stay lime green. They are so pretty. Sour Diesel C is looking good as well. The top leaves are still drooping, but not quite as bad as they were yesterday. I'm guessing it's a mix of underwatering and nutrient deficiency. Which nutrient, I don't know. But the top feed was the full nutrient regimen. So she should be good. Sour Diesel D is looking super hefty. She has plenty of water and is super a healthy green. No fade though. It's only B that's fading. A note about the lighting. I'm going to check the DLI. It should be at 45 mol/m²/d. That's the deepest red spectrum I can pull out of my light. I think I now understand the difference in wattage for wavelength. I'll learn more about this for future runs. I think I'm fine, but if I'm right, I may be able to increase the power back up to 80%, but we will see. I do t have room for the light to go up anymore, so I have to be really careful. Unless I decide to put the exhaust fan outside of the tent. Then I'll have about 6 inches of space. That may be the best plan of action if need be. The light is still 22" from the main canopy. Bringing it up to 28" will give me the ability to increase the power and get the lowers lit up as well. The supplemental lighting is or isn't working. I honestly cannot tell. I really wish I had added the bars in again weeks ago. It's too late now. I just don't have the want to do it. The environment was way off this morning. The temp was at 78° and the humidity at 66%. So I turned my AC on and dropped the temp back down to 76° but the humidity stayed roughly the same. Now the central air kicked on so the humidity should drop fairly quickly for the rest of the day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 62.7% VPD: 1.09 kPa July 13, 2024 Picture Day! And this week's video. Sour Diesel A looking really good. Super dense buds and tons of frost. Not much else to do. Her reservoir should be empty tomorrow. If not later tonight. Sour Diesel B is definitely starting to fade. Her leaves are rapidly changing color all over. Not much, but you can absolutely tell she will have a really nice fade in the end. Sour Diesel C emptied her reservoir pretty quickly and is still holding her weight. What that means is the plant is finally drinking. I added the rest of the half gallon from the other day. The half gallon should line up with the rest of the reservoirs. Sour Diesel D has this stupidly massive cola for the size of the plant. Her color is still a super lush green. The frost is pretty good, but still not as good as A and C, but she has the largest cola of the bunch. Not as many colas as the rest, but still the biggest. The environment is still just a mess. Mornings suck. Currently the humidity is at 62% with a near perfect 76°. The humidity will of course drop down in an hour or 2. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 58.9% VPD: 1.20 kPa

Nothing has realy happened since I cropped the royal cream....It is just hanging. Decided to do a dry trim so that it takes longer to dry due to the fact I am having to just use my cupboard so the humidity is pretty low. Leaving the leaves on just means It takes longer to dry. I am going to crop the Easy Bud in the next few days when the mood takes me. I had 4 left over R. Cream seeds left over because I informed them that. bought 2x 3 packs and only 2 seeds germinated so they sent me another packet which is REALLY good of them and the sort of thing that means I would definitely use Royal Queen Seeds again, for sure! The trich's are basically all cloudy with a few clear. I cant see any amber but my loupe is a ridiculously cheap Chinese piece of crap. I will invest in a microscope camera so I can hook it up to my phone or MacBook. It is way too hard to keep everything steady In order to see what is popping with my sexy trichomes. Obviously feeding has stopped for about a week now. I forgot to change it In the diary last week so will try and correct that now.. I know it is not strictly relevant but I had to go somewhere earlier and took a video because I was able o walk in the middle of a main road in my town which Is usually packed full of cars, especially at the time I was walking on it. It is a time that makes me even more glad I grow my own. I really need to buy the bigger tent, lights and re-locate to the bigger, more subtle cupboard (not the one i am using to dry my weed in the video I posted) and then I will be able to effectively ScrOG the 2 or 3 plants I have, in order to maximise yield so I can be totally self sufficient with regards to my cannabis medicine. UPDATE - MONDAY I just realised I have made a proper idiots mistake an missed out on some much tastier buds because of it. OK, so I got paid today, so I though I would treat myself to some of them cheap COB chips I used for my last grow because hey were super cheap and actually really effective considering the price. I ordered 2x 100w 6000k veg spectrum chips with a solderless connection for my power. I also ordered one of these heatsink + reflector. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MT824NP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My thinking was that I have a spare heatsink here that the old citizen CLU-048 is attached to so I was going to fit one of the chips into that and the other into the heatsink and fan I bought. This hought process lead me to go ad retrieve the old citizen LED and I thought I would try it. Still didn't work, then suddenly I thought it could be a simple blown fuse so I changed it aaaannnnd.....still doesn't work. doh! I started to remove the COB holder and COB from the heatsink (it was just glued to it using thermal compound) and when I laid it on the table I decided to test the driver without the COB holder on the tiny off chance it might work...nope I then realised maybe I got the + and - the wrong way round, tried again and boom works perfectly. The connection from the holder to the cob had bent slightly off contact. Really annoying that this whole time I could have doubled my photons to the plant, however, really nice that I don't have to spend a load more money on lighting in order to upgrade into the new room. So all I have to do now is spend money on a pre-drilled heatsink and a new metal COB holder for the citizen.

Willkommen in Woche 10: Die letzte und diese Woche waren furchtbar nass. Ich hab die Kleine nach jedem Regen geschüttelt trieb um trieb also richtig umtriebig… Heute (tag4) habe ich sie wieder nach dem Regen geschüttelt. Dabei ist leider die hauptblüte abgebrochen… naja halb so wild…die Apple of Eden neben dran wurde gestern schon panisch aus Angst vor Schimmel geerntet. Da hab die Blüte kurz getrimmt und dazu gehängt. Die Durban poison wirkt recht robust gegen Schimmel.. bin mal gespannt wie es weitergeht.

The buds are very tight, but they didn't grow large colas so that means wasted time trimming cannabis, which I am not a huge fan of. I will not be growing this strain again, as I believe there are far better breeders and strains out there. I will continue to seek out the best breeders and strains until I am satisfied. I believe this Auto will yield in the 16-22 Ounce range dry, so I am not super disappointed, but I know I can do much better than this. After 6 days of drying, it took me around 7 hours to trim this auto, and she ended up yielding 16.72 Ounces. So she was definitely on the lower end of the spectrum from what I estimated on chop day, but still in the range. The buds are very tight, and smell like like cheese. I am only running one mature auto at a time now, so next up will be the Acid Dough from Ripper Seeds. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend, stay safe and Blaze On!!

Esta semana tomé poco registro. Descarté la planta mas atrasada y transplanté una a su maceta definitiva. Fue transplantada en su día 19, estuvo una semana en maceta de 3.5L, la otra será transplantada en un par de días

Ya estamos en plena floración y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado también está trabajando durante la fase de encendido. Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Así que sigo la tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra. Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la solución con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles. Riego cada cuatro días.

Start of week 2 flower today, introducing big bud this week, gave them the full 4ml per litre recommend on the bottles and noted a small mute burn on a few of the leaves but nothing major. Switch to larger reservoir (25l -> 100l) and added bubbler stone as I'll be keeping the feed over 3/4 feeds, this should help keep the food solution oxygenated and fresher. Overall the plant is looking very healthy and seemed to transitioned to bloom food v. nicely.

Poppin Bottlez ranging from 145-165cm. Grim Spodie are very close to 180cm both. Most of them are clearly flowering allready. Poppin Bottlez looking really dense, Grim Spodie are more stretched out. I gave them a little nutrientboost, cause some of them were starting to get a little bit yellow/light green.

Explosion part 3! This plant is considered Autoflowering, but I would say is most likely a regular one! She is just HUUUGE, hopefully I was able to stop her growing but side branches reached the 83cm and almost touching the LED... I've introduced Bloombastic (0.5ml per liter) and I will gradually increase till 1.5ml per liter and stop when will be time to flush. Buds are getting bigger but I'm thinking that she will need at least 3 more full weeks... Hopefully with some good results at the end! I obligatory defoliated her and also removed some small side branches, without any stress encountered. I'll keep you guys posted, stay tuned, stay high!

Sooo I forgot to update the diary for about 3 weeks,good thing is you guys didnt miss that much cause I got the luck to have a more sativa pheno, thats why this girl will prob still take another good 3-4 weeks. Shes getting fatter every day, the calyx started turning purple around the plant so maybe just a classic „cookies“ pheno or maybe even a whole purple plant who knows what will happen with her when we start to flush.

I believe this will be the last week this girl will stretch. Shes got arm buds at the ready and will be full on flower from here on out. In going to keep her nitrogen at a high for these next two weeks and dip out after mid week 6 and keep it just bloom shiz. She is gorgeous with 7 main colas. Would be easily 12 but one main got snapped due to her topping her own self(stakes). Yes these girls can do that. They will drive thsy stake out the ground and the California gold in my other diary did the same as well. The effort/force topped them so I lost some branches and instead took a loss. I love her and it's so crazy how she started out small. 1 gallon is blooming out. Stripped all lower sites to a degrees none of that garbage yah here. 3 gallon just got some orange hairs. We are now beginning to fall out of the stretch.
