Issues with the 5th seed growing into a funny "U" shape. Attempting to fix the issue by straightening and re-planting.

Las plantas se ven bien, me hubiese gustado que estén en una maceta mas grande. Intentare hacerlo esta semana aunque no se si sea lo mejor a esta altura.

Because she's a herma I'm not going to do much about it. I took away all the balls and she is growing not so beautiful as I wished for.

🌱 Week 12 Update (Veg) The girls are still in veg mode 🌿🌳 and looking strong 💪. Lots of new growth popping up every day 🌱🌱. Canopy is filling in nicely 🕸️✨ with healthy green leaves 🍃. Still battling thrips

New scrog net! Added GO BIO Thrive. And lot’s of recharge and a little cal-mag. Happy Growing! I wanted to also thank growdiaries community and the nice people at fastbuds. Growing has definitely changed my life for good. And such a forgiving plant even if you make mistakes it’s not really a big deal. Stay strong grow happy! John Dee

Marshydro lo mejor en luz una buena invercion. Este cultivo es sólo con agua 6.5 a 7 Ph.

This lady is 8 weeks old now, and has been grown with Bio-Bizz nutrients before i transplanted her, to her final 10 gallon home. This round i'm using the Complete Bio Tabs Line-up for her during late veg & flower🙂 ( this stuff gives a amazing taste to whatever your growing @ home😉 ) Talking about flower😃 i feel the need to switch her to 12/12 real soon. Stay tuned Growmies👍

Both frosty and have big nugs. It did go into reveg in late flower but managed to save it before it went awol! Not as good as last time but hopefully tastes like it smells 🏆🌱💚

Hi! 4 plants will be in this diary, Blue Sherbet S1 Feminized Seeds By The Plug SeedBank. Blue Sherbet S1 Feminized Seeds are a Plug favorite. This Blue Sherbet S1 also spelled Sherbert is a mix of Sunset Sherbet and Blue Cookies. A very powerful smell due to the impressive production. These feminized seeds tend to let off a deep green and purple tone towards the end of the bloom period. Expect an 8 to 9 week flower period and yields of 550g/M2. Cerebral effects with powerful physical relaxation. The plug has done it again. We can expect nothing less than exceptional genetics from a team of experienced and dedicated breeders. 24K Gold Feminized Seeds By DNA Genetics. 24K Gold Feminized Seeds are a multi-award-winning blend of Kosher Kush and the 2013 twelve cup Sativa champion Tangie. With aroma’s of tangerine and the cup winning Kosher Kush, 24 carrot is one in its own by DNA Genetics. Due to Kosher flavored fruits with strong citrus undertones, this F1 hybrid has an impressive aroma in the bloom period. You can expect to find three phenotypes in this genetic and all three being cup winners. 24K Gold has rapid growth in veg and can stretch up to the fourth week of flower. Bloom period is 9 to 10 week with large yields and very resinous flowers. Zkittlez Feminized Seeds by The Bakery Seed Co. Zkittlez Feminized Seeds are a cross of Afghan Kush x (Grapefruit x Grape Ape). A great Indica dominant hybrid that causes a well balanced cerebral effect. With a flowering period of 60 to 65 days, you can expect an indoor harvest of 600g/m2 and outdoor harvest of around 700g/m2. A great display of resin with faint purple hues late in the flowering period. Aromas of deep berry and grape. SGROG method works great with this genetic. A great addition to The Bakeries ever-growing in-house collection. Fruit Tree Feminized Seeds by The Bakery Seed Co. Fruit Tree Feminized Seeds by the Bakery Seed Co are at the forefront of the Bakeries recipes. These Fruit Tree Seeds are very stable genetics as well as yielding a minimum of 550g/m2. A 70 day flower period indoors and displays a great terpene profile both indoors and outdoors too, all though the green house is optimal for this strain. This is a Sativa dominant breed tested at 19% THC with great citrus aromas late in flower. This is another great addition to the Bakery Seed Co’s Feminized range. I just started germination today 29th of June by placing them in the water for 24 hours. 30th of June: I placed them between damp paper and plates they started germinating except Fruit tree seed did not want to sink before in the water and no sign of germinating yet between the paper. I just cut a bit it's shell because it might be too hard for the sprout to break it and come out. Rest of them are OK spouts are out and constantly growing. I aim to plant them tomorrow if the Fruit Tree grows a bit more. 1st of July: I planted 3 of them except Fruit Tree. I will wait several days more to show some sign of life and if will not then I will plant the other strain. It has been given as a gift seed with my previous order. It may be older so need more time to start its life. The seedling stage starts so just keep the humidity high, no ventilation at all always spray the room. Day 3: It seems that Fruit tree seed is not viable so I ordered the other one. Probably it is old seed. As it comes I will straight germinate to be planted asap. 2 of them are out Zkittlez and 24 K Gold. Blue Sherbet S1 still not out hopefully by tomorrow. I will spray them tonight and a closed all the holes on the tent to keep the humidity high. Day 5: Nice one! Zkittlez and 24K nicely out! Blue Sherbet S1 is coming also by tomorrow it will be out properly. I received a new Fruit tree seed and started germinating to be able to plant it asap. Watering around 5ml a day per plant. 24 hours LED light schedule no off. 2 x 60W so 30 W per plant. They love it! Day 5: Fruit tree started germinating I think I can plant on Sunday. It will be 1 week back but it is alright. Blue Sherbet S1 is growing also. Zkittlez and 24K Gold are nicely developing. Day 9: All of them out!!!! Blue Sherbet S1 looks so different due to its Sativa domination. Humidity is high 90% over, and 24/7 light schedule with 2x 60 W 30 each plant, and no ventilation and fertilization at this stage. They are so cute, so fragile....

. 🌱 : Defoliation + LST on day 32 💧 : 3l day 30, 3l day 32 💡 : Dli: 40 mol/m²/d 🤔 :

looking really good now. i removed some of the larger fan leaves at the top and trimmed the bottom to tidy up :) still loads of white hairs, a few have turned brown but not too many.

This is around the time first grow I thought I was pushing it to hard with the nutrients and flushed realised just wants more added pk top and wateringnevery 3rd day in stead of 4

Strain is stable af. Wow this flower is great. Sebastian from fast buds was right, this gets you really stoned!! Thanks fastbuds!!!

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...

6March: Start flower first 2 weeks only blooming with 200watt the purple kush didnt make it it was a bad seed,

Sour Diesel Haze is starting to put on weight. You can see the buds are increasing in size nicely. Stared giving Mammoth P this week, hoping to see some nice benefits from Mammoth P!

Super gas! Non bellissima da vedere come aspetto ma probabilmente una delle più buone ed interessanti di questo mio ciclo. Profilo terpenico gassoso/dolce con sentori di chem

End of course for this Persian Prince project! Unfortunately, he failed to cut short this flowering a few days in advance following the start of a pest attack. Our two beautiful ones would have certainly enjoyed crunching life with full roots for another week, but prudence forced us to cut a little prematurely. Never mind, our flowers have dried for 10 days and are now ready to begin their maturing period in a jar. Despite these conditions, which are very well known to them, our Persian Princes still present impressive characters: the buds are huge, covered with a thick layer of trichomes and very fragrant. In terms of flavors, cheesy dominates 🧀 the two phenos smell strongly of semi-roller/Emmental style hard cheese, definitely the dominant aroma, for one of our two plants it is the only aroma that I am capable of to raise. The other phenotype is more complex, on the salty-cheesy smell a fresher and tangy/lemony smell is superimposed, very pleasant and different from its sister and at the same time linked to it by its common dominant cheesy aroma. For those who would still take a break from sweet/fruity strains and would like to try something more unique, consider this Persian Prince! :) 🌱 @khalifa.genetics 🍱 @gaiagreenorganics @greenhousefeeding_worldwide 💡 @official_marshydro 🌬️ @acinfinityinc 🍄 @bigfootmycorrhizae @promix_cannabis BY ZOUZOUCANNA ON YOUTUBE AND INSTAGRAM
