I'm still working out how much water to give, and I've probably under watered. The heat wave has driven the temps up, but these plants are still growing. Started flowering around day 23. Tied them down to try to get more light to the lower flower sites. Still haven't decided what to feed during flower, other than Big Bud. Any recommendations are welcome!

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = .46kw * 0.15kw = .17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = .99kw *0.15kw = .85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = 4.30kw *0.15kw = .65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. .17 + .85 + .65 = .67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. .67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷ 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. .67 ÷ 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

10/11 111 days old, 42 days since flip and any time now. She is wrapping things up quick. She gets cold at night. The pictures do this plant no justice. She is not green, she is purple. 70s during the day and 60s at night really brings the color out. This strain is supposed to finish in 54 to 60 days. She will not make it to 50 before finishing. Really she looks done now. She was grown in living soil. I added more worm castings, myco and zolmite. That was it for her entire veg stage. She was a beautiful dark green and not one sign of deficiency. All I did was add water. For the flower stage I added more castings and Gaia Green power bloom. Then when she started flowering I added the Fox Farm bloom nuits. Probably didn’t need the Fox Farm but I had it so I used it. She has been on straight water for the past week. I added defoliation even though it’s not really defoliating. The leaves are drying up. I’m pulling them off to let the light go deeper. The Soil Makers, Colchester CT is where I got the living soil from. 10/13 she is almost ready. Watered her last night. Waiting to see is she is still drinking. 10/14 chopped her down, Timber. Did my first trim, took a couple of hours. That was taking my time. She was not that hard to trim. Between being lollipoped and this strain is not very leafy. Trimming was very easy. I chopped her at the bottom after trimming and hung the whole plant. Since it’s the whole plant I didn’t bother getting the wet weight. The whole plant is very heavy, over 5 pounds. Wet doesn’t tell me much so why bother. Going by looks I should net about a pound, give or take. Now I’m going to try and give her a slow dry and cure. Also can’t say harvested until i am able to get some weight.

Have yellowing on tips of new growth. Also some discoloration on older leaves. Havent been able to narrow it down yet what it could be. Using ro water with calimagic ph'd to 6.0. And feeding 1 tbsp for a 5 gal bucket with organic blackstrap molasses once a week.

Onto the next week of flower. Going on a short trip away for 2 days from 17-19th, so the reservoirs will be full before we leave. Got back to more growth and had to raise the light up. Ladies looking great and getting big. We are a few days before lollipop so the tent is a bit humid but not bad. It will be easier to keep VPD at 1.2 after day 50 or so when some of that unneeded growth is out of there. Lollipop done on 21st and 22nd. Next on 23rd to finish up. Things are getting frosty with the CropSalt Bloom nutrients. Ladies didn't mind the haircut one bit Buds are starting to swell!

Plants seem to have recovered from the stress of topping and transplant and are starting to take off. Lamp is turned all the way up now. I stupidly brought in some non-cannabis plants to chill with them, and they brought in some fungus gnats :( Not an insane infestation, I noticed it quickly, but trying to be proactive. Added a fan for more airflow, mosquito bits, neem spray, etc. GAME ON GNATS :) Upped nutrients from 1/8 tsp/gal to 1/4. Will back off if needed but its still a small amount. Trying to test how they take it. Had to raise the lamp a few inches. The plants are growing and so far 16" distance at 100% has been fine. It is currently 15" but I will raise it again another day to fix it. Rotated the bagseed indica to point in the middle of the net. I "f-ed up" the topping of this bush, it was really a FIM. As if it was not bushy enough!!!!! Added a net, not really for elaborate scrog, just "basic" control of which direction things are growing, especially now that they are growing into each other. Rotated the bagseed up front for better positioning. Clearly I sloppily "F- I missed" topping this one, so i really FIM'd it, kind of at least. 4 growths coming out. Just in case this wasn't already hellaciously bushy!!!!

Thanks for checking out my grow! This is the 4th or 5th strain I’ve ran by 34 Street Seed Co. I have yet to be disappointed, great genetics for a fair price. This Pink Lemonade strain has tested in the 30% cannabinoid range with crazy terps, all from other Home Growers! This will be one of my submissions for the 2023- 34 Street Grow Cup, Can’t wait 🇨🇦👊❤️ I started as usual by soaking my seeds for about 6 hours in a glass of distilled water, then planted directly into the substrate about a 1/2 inch into the starter pot. I dialed my light back to about 100 watts from the wall, and raised it to about 40 inches above the pots. I covered the pots with domes, and set my humidifier to run non-stop. 30 hours later , they had all sprouted ❤️

This girls has grown to 2 feet tall in just 30 days. If she keeps at this pace we should see a very nice plant.

Aug 10: this scrog is looking okay. Likely will avoid doing it this way in future, but it will work out. Aug 11/13: don’t take flash pics of your plants unless you’re also immediately using a 730 nm light as a bloom booster. A bright light at that wavelength converts the hormone and allows the plant to go into dark mode two hours faster. Anyway, the red light cancels out the flash from the pics which is cool because buds look good in flash pics.

Still defoliating leaves as the turn yellow. Looked at adjusting the LST, but most of the stems are pretty firm by now, not a lot of flexy green ones. Buds on the taller plant are filling out a lot, looking pretty hairy. The shorter/bushier plant is looking pretty sparkly, but still not getting a lot of pistils. Not sure if the Koolbloom really helped that much or if it was just timing, but the buds definitely started developing a lot faster since I added it. Ready to wrap this grow up! Come on, girls!

11/27: harvest day. Well, i have chopped them all down. I trimmed all the bud and put it in seal bags in the freezer. No drying - fresh frozen. Sometime in the next few days i will turn it all into bubble hash. If i had gotten the buds that i wanted I would have dried and cured much of this. But as this is just a typical looking and smelling lemon strain, it all went in the freezer. If not for all of their expectations set by FastBuds, i would likely have loved at least one of the plants. The one labeled PL1 was a monster. It produced over 27oz of trimmed wet bud. The hat is more than the other 3 plants combined. With a total of 53 Oz of trimmed wet bud harvested and frozen. The one that i labeled PL4 was insanely frosty when compared to the other 3 phenos. I have clones of bother PL1 and PL4 that i may consider using for breeding projects where i want a strong lemon. The other two plants were mostly forgettable.

Ja die Manderin Cream wächst jetzt am Tag mindestens 5 cm. Es haben sich sehr viele Blüten gebildet. Habe jetzt den Ec wert auf 1200. Die Pflanze trinkt am Tag 0,9 Lieter und ich fülle den Tank jeden Tag mit ca. einen Lieter auf mit einen Ec wert von 1087. Erhöhung von B52 und Big bud und Tasty terp. Habe noch keinerlei erfahrungen mit Automatic und wusste nur , das sie in der Blütephase kein stress vertragen.. Deshalb habe ich die Entlaubung nicht gemacht.. Werde 3 wochen vor der Ernte etwas entlauben... Aber ich muss mich erstmal genauer mit der Blütezeit befassen.. oder es genauer im Blick behalten durch vergleiche hier im netz. Habe hier Züchter gesehen mit der cream Manderin die 14 wochen Blütezeit hatten.. oder Sie so lange Blühen ließen..und nicht wie angegeben 9 wochen und fertig... Aber die ergebnisse wahren echt Top bei den anderen .. schauen wir mal...
