Day 19 since flip, not much to report. Top dress today of 4-8-4 rose and flower mix from down to earth with a little worm castings. Almost done with stretch. Back two are Gary Poppins (Gary Payton x Red Runtz). One on the left is stretching to the moon, definitely a Gary leaner, and the one on the right turned out to be the smallest plant of the five, definitely a Runtz leaner. Plain ph’d tap water and that’s it 🌡️: 77-80 F 💡: 65% @ 20 inches 💦:60%

27.4.//Definitely those flying bugs were Fungus gnats. The soil was infected even I bought it in the store. So I had to use the insecticide which I'll attach as a photo; There is great natural replacement for this poison - Neem oil mixed with Hydrogen peroxide but unfortunately I couldn't find pure Neem oil in my country. 2.5. //plants are looking healthy and beautiful. Each plant has a fourth tier of leafs; Each plant is 5cm tall. 4.5.//finally I've got two more lights and now each plant is covered by 100w led light; Humidity began to rise as the plants also began to grow and humidity reached 62%;

5 juli en ze is aan haar einde gekomen, ze hangt nu aan de waslijn Heerlijke dikke buds met een heerlijke geur. Deze strain zal ik zeker nogmaals kweken. Bedankt James voor de mogelijkheid 👌🏽❤️ Ze zal ongeveer 2 weken nodig hebben om te drogen. Hierna zal ik de buds wegen en in potten doen. Uiteraard volgt er dan ook nog een smokereport en meer foto's

First off, these plants are no fuss at all! The 3 have shown their cards in my opinion. Early in the week #3 had a pleasant odor and #1 had an odor from a rub. Now all three have a great stem rub odor. Noticeable differences are: #1 looks to be the perfect blend of mom and dad. It should be taller than dad but still bushy and has a great smell. I would say it is aggressive but elegant. #2 has the height difference I was looking for, it has an odor different than mom, bushy and the structure over all is not bad. BUT, if you look at the end of the week top down photo, you can see the longer more spindly leaves on the lower part of the plant. And the 3 finger leaf sets... that is mamma and what I believe is the Auto/Ruderalis poking it's head out. It is not what I am looking for. #3, hell... that's daddies little girl all day long. (hopefully a girl, no sex on them yet) 😂 Regardless of sex, this plant is short, fat, bushy and stinky. Now the next week hopes are that maybe we get to sex them. Once the plants are sexed then the rest of the plan will take shape. They are just cruising right along, I hope the pictures and descriptions do them justice. I have included some other photos to see the full environment. Happy garden over all. You can see that the plants shift a lot. Even if they are not shifted for one reason or another, all but the veggie plants get turned 1/4 turn everyday. I get to see and handle them lovingly every day. Or several times a day but.... 😏 Non stop excitement. I hope you all feel the same with your grows. Thank you for taking a look at mine.

Green crack had a good week of growth but is still so tiny in comparison to the others. I bent her over to try and get some more bud arms happening. Gave her a flush and looking forward to the stretch and trying to get a decent smoke off it

What's up growmies🤟🏽. Week 3 on deck 🙌🏾🙌🏾. Everything is smooth sailing. I lst'd 4 of them today and I'm letting 2 grow natural ( for now). I have them on a 1.5 liters every 3 days watering schedule. They appear to be healthy and thriving. Until next week, happy growing my friends and may the plant goddesses bless you with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...
