👉The final dry weight, which was 369g (13oz) is just buds, no trim or larf. Just Good big buds. Great plant overall. Had a phosphorus issue that lingered, it foxtailed at the end and in the last day hermie bitz appeared on almost every branch end cola. Sturdy branches, lots of food factories. Wonderful aroma that wasn't as stanky as most. Spend 4 hours trimming. Started at the bottom and worked my way up. I put the end cola of each branch on its own label clothes pin and hung on a rack. Each cola was weighed wet and cataloged. after 24 hrs I started putting each cola in a paper bag and the net buds in a larger bag. It took 5 days to reduce the dry weight to under 30%. When they hit this mark they went into the jars which were labeled according to their documented location. I figured the weigh reduction percentage by comparing weighs from the initial wet trimmed weight. In each jar I also added a hygrometer. Surprisingly the RH of almost ever jar was under 58%. None of the jars required any burping to remove excess humidity. At that point I added moisture 62% moisture packs and put the jars in the closet. I sampled bud J till this writing. It didn't start getting tasty till the 4 week mark.

Very fun strain to grow. Easy to train and love to get big. We had 2 different expressions on the plants and both where very pleasing. Both plants grew vigorously and provided me with just over 3/4 pound of dry medicine!

It took two ... 2 full hours to repot all 7 plants. I used an entire bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest.... also sprinkled Mycorrhizal on each root system.
The GG4 is really oing pretty good... I believe the tight node spacing means good things are in store. Super cropping continues.
I gotta flip the whole lot of 7 plants...who cares .. first grow mistakes... fun!

Terpenes are like an invitation to travel
I’d say to Brazil, on Copacabana beach, sipping a citrus and passion fruit caipirinha!🤤🤤
*Autoflowers and Fast Flower have the same terpene profiles, but with Fast Flower, the terpenes come through way more powerful💥

I dry trimmed everything I harvested. What I mean is I cut all fan leaves while the plant was still in the ground. I trimmed what I could and hung the whole plant for a few days then separated branches. The ice cream cake and the large seedling are both still hanging intact. Ice cream cake was easy as it grew more like a sativa them the indicas I usually grow. Plant reached a height of 9 to 10 feet. Yield was some what diminished due to septoria. This strain seemed particularly sensitive to plant diseases.

I didn't get to this until midweek. Humidity was higher than I like and soil moisture was low. Rotated this plant 90 degrees clockwise to ensure even light. Added 36 oz of water on top of what the drippers are delivering. Drippers were also moved 90 degrees to ensure even soil moisture. Humidity was lowered to 45%.
Starting flush this week. Began with pH'ed water only in the dripper. Will be adding water only with no nutrients for the rest of the week. Pistils are about 50% brown and the trichomes are getting cloudy. Buds are looking good. This plant still has about a week until harvest.
By the end of the week the buds are filled out. The pistils have mostly turned brown. The trichomes are clear, milky, AND amber... in the same view. Many shots are both clear and amber. I want a more active high so this plant is coming down next week. I think it is ready. It is very confusing seeing so many clear and amber trichomes on the same bud.

Ginger nut cookies and Aussie Music Videos update 20th Feb 2020
On Monday just past, I started to leave this plant out at night thus reducing light hours to the same as a regular outdoors Plant. This should induce flowering as all my other
Photoperiod dependent strains are now in Flowering mode. Thru the use of Topping and LST training I have managed to create lots of potential bud sites for this plant to develop into lovely sticky and stinky Buds. Later on today I will do some more LST & As soon as I see pistils developing I will begin to add P+K to the soil by using Guano , Mollasses , Liquid potash, comfrey teas ,Compost teas and Worm castings. The smell of the stems is increasing in strength and has a blend of Red diesel stink mixed with cookies dankness. 😛
Now for the Weekly Music Videos yes I say videos because there will be three 🙏
Last week I chose The Divinyls but this week I thought I would do something different and ask the People what they wanted to hear. Well I got 3 responses and they all
made good suggestions all of which I will play this week . @Fruitgrower asked to see anything by Kylie minogue naked 😆 Couldn't manage that but the video I chose does see her prancing around in next to nothing which is the next best thing . So Fruity Enjoy mate heres the Link https://youtu.be/j3VjJKKVNew
@PlaguedGardens asked for Flume. I had to google them as I hadnt heard of it but they sound ok I am not particuarly into Electronic music but it has it's place and I chose this one for you mate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwg7hJrDiRg
Then finally @I_and_I asked for Airbourne which is a great group who obviously were influenced by AC/DC , Metallica , Motorhead etc etc and you will understand when you watch the video so here is Airbourne for I_and_I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0q9a5QS6WQ
All three growers couldn't have chosen more different music genres if they'd tried which just goes to show how different we all are with our musical tastes .
I won't clog up the questions section again so if anyone has a request for an Aussie artist or bands Music video they's like to see played please drop your suggestions in the comments section below. Thankyou again for reading my update I hope you enjoy the Music 👍

The the buds were small so it made trimming a nightmare! But it’s done and the end product is worth all the time. I have loads of trim and small popcorn buds that will be dry Ice sifted and pressed into a hash brick. Will update the diary when I have some bcp hash
Weighed up the trim at 588 grams, used my trim bins with dry ice to sift the trim and pressed it into blocks using a rosin pre press, I’ll now jar this and put it to one side. My first time doing this, definitely worth the effort!

Dear diary,
Week 5 completed and after a scare last week with magnesium deficiency, we were able to get it sorted and continue the mainlining.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
⏰ Day 32:
Gave a foliar of calmag water at 3.0ms 6.1ph during light off so it’s more gentle on the leaves followed by a regular feeding at 1.46ms 6.1ph.
Still seeing some deteriorating continuing on lower leaves, so will get epsom salt tomorrow to really target magnesium and increase the calmag with 0.7ml/l in feeds going forward.
⏰ Day 33:
Gave a foliar of epsom salt at 6.6g/liter(3.2EC 6.3ph)as lights went off but as I read more my ratios were off and I diluted the solution with 50% regular water.
Regular feeding at 1.45ms 6.2ph was given at lights on.
When inspecting the girls a few hours later they look a lot healthier already, so clearly magnesium was the issue.
Will give them today to recover and if everything keeps looking good by tomorrow, I will do the next topping.
If so I will have lost 5 days of progress due to the deficiency, but that’s the upside with photos I guess vs autos.
⏰ Day 34:
Another foliar of epsom salt applied and feeding of 1.5l each at 1.56ms 5.8ph.
A few hours later topping nr 2 done making it 4 tops each now and stripped the remaining growth.
⏰ Day 35:
Did a quick check before lights off and they are praying and looking good considering the topping.
Then I did a regular feeding at 1.56ms 5.5ph when lights went on. Still looking good and no continued signs of the magnesium issue.
⏰ Day 36:
Regular feeding at 1.56ms 5.6ph.
Girls are looking healthy and enough has grown out that I can start tying down the 4 new mains.
Will probably top them again in 1-2 days if everything progresses nicely.
⏰ Day 37:
Foilar of epsom given just as lights turned off followed by regular feeding at 1.61ms 5.8ph when lights turned back on.
⏰ Day 38:
Regular feeding at 1.61ms 5.9ph.
Topping nr 3 was also done bringing it to 8 tops each and I will do the 4th and final topping as soon as the nodes have developed a bit more.
In terms of height it’s worth mentioning that one of the branches of G.C #2 escaped her binds so one of the sides is 18cm while the other matches the others in the tent more at 14cm.

Stretch Season Approaching? 🌇 | RHC Enters Preflower Elegantly
A fresh update from the balcony garden! My Red Hot Cookies photoperiod has officially entered preflower—a beautiful turning point in the season and a clear sign she’s gearing up for the stretch ahead. 🌀🌿
After some intense vegetative growth, she’s responded well to topping and training, with her canopy now standing tall and open, ready for the sun to do its magic. Her stature is becoming more impressive by the day, and the signs of preflower are clearly visible in the latest close-ups and video. 📸✨
Even nature’s allies came to inspect this week—a little ladybug made an appearance during filming and decided to hang out for a bit. 🍀🐞 Always a good omen in the garden!
This Week’s Care Routine:
🔸 BioBizz Grow – 4 ml/l for steady veg support
🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/l to keep her strong and balanced
🔸 Dechlorinated Tap Water – always rested for 24h before use
🔸 Homebrewed Compost Tea – full of life and microbe support
🔸 Effective Microorganisms – boosting soil vitality
🔸 pH: 6.4
🔸 EC: 1800 µS
She’s in a strong spot—tall, healthy, vibrant, and showing no signs of slowing down. I’m genuinely excited to see how she stretches from here and how the first buds begin to develop under the late summer sun. The season is still full of promise, and I’ll keep sharing the journey. 🌞🌱
Stay tuned—there’s still so much more to come!
