It was the last week for the Black Jack and I was kind of sad to cut it down. I wanted to go the full 9 weeks of flower but she was telling me she was ready. I couldn't wait another week to get the Liberty Haze in its place either. It took an hour just to cut down/hang and remove most of the crispy and yellow leaves. Have a 3x3 set up for drying and have it dialed in and filled it with 5 hangers from the plant. Cut it into chunks as big as i could fit on the hangers. I weighed the buds wet this time just to get an idea of how much they loose during drying. She got light dose if Buddha bloom and some brix/molasses this week as she was starving.l'm still learning when to harvest but I like a more heady high so Its sometimes hard to tell when the trichomes are past my preference but I want to let a plant flower a week or two after its "supposed" to really have a gauge on it.l next time. But i think I hit it at a good time. Will update the harvest soon. I think this one will need the full 2 weeks drying even though I have my dry tent in the basement now instead if my garage with ac/heater It stays about 64 in the basement and i was having a hard time keeping it down to 60 anyway out my studio without the heater and ac constantly battling, and the ac freezing over. I forgot to take pictures of it on the racks and the setup but i will update

It's finally here 😀. Both phenotypes are in the fermentation phase 😍. The grow was a lot of fun, so I thought I'd make an Iolator hash out of leaves and a little bud and a little oil out of both phenotype buds. Cannabis: The grow: Both grew beautifully. Your stretch was normal and it didn't cause any problems. Feeding : You received GHSC bio Grow once in the vegi phase and GHSC Bio bloom twice in the flowering phase. GHSC enhancers were added every 2 weeks. That was just the right amount for both : 1:. Optic: The appearance of Phenotype 1 is almost completely purple 😍. Pheno 2 is coated a bit purple with a mixture of silver from the resin :-). Smell / taste Pheno 1 tastes very fruity. You can really say that it tastes like a tangerine in the finish : 1:. Pheno 2 also tastes a little fruity but with its distinctly stronger note in the Kush direction. Both very tasty : 1:. Storage: The cannabis is stored in glasses in a dark place where the temperature is between 19-22 degrees. The first 2 months of fermentation are boveda packs 62% in the jars. Then the 58% come in. Since I was in the mood for a few specialties again, as mentioned above, I also made Hash Oil and Ice Oilator hash. Let's start with Video 1 (BHO) Hash Oil production: Hash Oil: Process: Small grated cannabis goes into the Dexso tube. Below is a container in the PTFE film that serves as a base so that the oil can be easily removed at the end. At the top we give the Dexso gas through the Dexso tube filled with cannabis. The result is a mixture of the gas and the cannabis oil. We put the bowl with the mixture in a hot shot of water but make sure that no water comes in at the top. We let the whole thing simmer for 20 minutes so that the first gases can evaporate. Then everything goes into the vacuum chamber so that all remaining vapors can really escape and we have a pure product 😁. The whole thing is carried out for 2-3 days until the oil is ready 😀. I can only recommend everyone to vaporize oil in a dabbing rig 😍. Taste: The taste is extremely delicious. In the finish, it tastes much more like mandarin than the buds 😀. Optic: The oil is very shiny to matt. If you pull it apart, it becomes light as honey :-). If you roll it up, it's very conceit. Consistency: The oil will become a little harder in the silicone storage after a short time. However, if you take it in your hand, it can be pulled and kneaded very easily after a few seconds. That was it with the oil production. So let's continue with the Ice o Lator 😀. Making the Ice o Lator: I took all the remains of the leaves and placed them in the small net. Then the IO maker is first made about 1/3 full of cold water with water. I add 3-4 kg of ice cubes and wait about 15 minutes until the water is below 0 degrees. As soon as the temperature is reached, I put in the net with the leftovers and set the timer to 15 / on and 10 / off. I run the whole thing 3 times. Then the complete broth is passed through the sieves (160, 120, 73 and 25) in a bucket. After sifting everything is spread out on a ceramic plate and poked very small with a knife. The whole thing comes in a dark place and is then allowed to dry for about 3-4 days. As soon as the hash has dried, it comes into the press for a few hours at a little temperature. The result is a kneading oily Ice o Lator 😍😍😍. Optic: The optic is partly reminiscent of that of oil :-). Consistency: The ice o lator has a very soft consistency :-). You can roll up small sausages while smoking 😁. Taste: The taste is very medicinal. But very earthy and smoky finish : 1:. All the screenings are very good but the 25 and 73 are the best 😃. That was it with the production to see everything again in Video 2. So we come to the end of a beautiful passage ☺️. Finally, I would like to say that I would like to thank Sweet Seeds for the sponsorship and for providing two such great genetics 🙏🏻. If anyone has any questions about this type, oil or ice, I will answer as soon as I can. I wish you all a lot of fun with this big update :-). Have a nice start to you and your families into the new year and everyone stays healthy 🙏🏻. Let it grow 🍀 MadeInGermany You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) : 1: Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Bloom Week 3(Almost 4): This girl looks happy and there are buds everywhere. In the past week the buds have really started to get larger. She seems hungry, every few days a leaf shows some deficiencies (Yellowing/fading), but it’s only 1 or 2 leaves at a time. I’m not too worried about it, but may up the nutrients a bit as the manufacturer says that you can double the numbers for heavy feeding. This is a large hungry girl, and she drinks a lot. I’m loving this plant and it looks like we’ll get a nice yield from her if she continues being healthy.

I was going to upload the process, but the wiser side of me said no. So I've edited it out and some of the evaporation process can be seen. Bho/wax/honey whatever we care to call it

📆 Semana 8 La Mentha de Croco se acerca a su punto clave de maduración, afinando cada detalle antes del cierre. Los cogollos siguen compactándose y ganando peso, cubriéndose con una capa de resina más gruesa y brillante. Los pistilos continúan anaranjándose y los cálices empiezan a hincharse, señal de que la planta está entrando en su fase más madura. El aroma se intensifica aún más: dulce, fresco y con ese toque mentolado que ahora destaca al mínimo roce. La estructura sigue limpia y aireada, sin humedad acumulada, y los riegos se ajustan al milímetro para mantener el equilibrio justo antes del lavado. 🌸 Última semana de engorde real: terpenos, resina y maduración afinándose para un final perfecto. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

The plants are looking really healthy. I’m still getting used to my new lights. I think I didn’t push enough light in week 2 of flower I’m ramping up the light intensity now. I had to whip out my par meter I was keeping the light to far off the plants. This light has to be closer to the plants than my mini sun. I’m lurking this light a lot I just need to get used to it

Идёт всё очень замечательно, не смотря на то что я его очень перелил и проходил сушку 4 дня, стреесоустойчивость очень хорошая! Глаз не нарадуется не как, а слюнки так и капают уже попробовать его)

Tropicanna Poison XL Auto- Outside W10F6 8/17-23 This past week has been rainy and overcast from a tropical storm with temperatures mostly in the upper 80s. We have Hurricane Erin approaching the Bahamas heading northeast with wind gusts of 30-40 MPH. While we won’t be directly hit by the storm, we will get the outer bands of heavy winds and rain. To protect my plants, I brought all the girls inside on Tuesday 19th in preps for the storm. I inspected each one for bugs, rot or anything unusual. She is free and clear of any rot or bugs 8/19 Tropicanna Poison XL auto is 53 days from germination. Sweet Seeds says 60-75 days to harvest so she needs about a week more. Next week with the hurricane approaching, we are expecting rain for most of the week. Given the pending weather conditions for the next couple of weeks, the remainder of the grow will be in the tent where I can control the environment. I also will be using the air conditioner to drop nighttime temperature and maybe bring out pink and red colors. The stems show pink so I’m hopeful. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Didn't really give these 2 the attention they needed this week and they dried up a tiny little bit. Also they stretched quite a bit compared to the non auto ones. Time to start with some LST, right at the limit as the core is quite thick already, but still bendy enough. First pistils have started to come out.

WEEK 12-18 of May: Only few buds remaining for the blooming phase and only one for the left one, I'm curious to see the outcome. The final count of buds should be around 12 buds.

May 4: nice spring day so the plants were outside in the afternoon. Some direct sun but mostly in the small greenhouse to stay warm out of direct sun. Still spraying with water to make up for low humidity, but also starting to water soil in a circle around the plant. Using Monster Maxx this year. Used last year in my compost tea and the root balls were very dense and intricate so it seems to work as advertised. Will still be mostly used for compost tea but also according to label direction of 2 mL/L once a week. May 5: mixing soil and sorting out grow bags for this year. Putting some spruce cones in the bottom to ensure air gets to the roots at the bottom. Indoor growers often use clay balls for this apparently but I’ve got lots of spruce cones handy and they’ll do the trick. May 6: looking good with all three looking very similar at this early stage. May 7: looking good. Room temp could be higher but oh well. May 9: beautiful warm spring day so I decided to transplant the chosen seedling into the final container. It’s also now warm enough to stay outside overnight. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds
