The First Hello Diary

Day 101. Has a really nice ring to it. I'm all out of comments at the moment, must be the narcotic effect of blissful endorphins circulating my nervous system after avoiding a potential mould disaster. Plus the cloud sealing outside calls for a little silent meditation on....nothingness. P.S. Brought the light schedule to 9 hours daylight / 15 darkness. Day 103 update : although the night humidity is down to a surprising 36% , have found yet another moldy sugar leaf on the initial plant with issues. So after much consideration I removed the top flowers for drying. Watered and fertilized with Organic Booster Solution and Molasses. Day 104 update : I can swear for the past three days the flowers have increased in size, smell and density. So I made a brew of my special Fruit Molasses that I have saved up for this moment (if ever had arrived) and fertilized all the plants. Upon mixing, it exuded a lovely raspberry cider smell. Lowered further the lights, we are now at 52 cm, no sign of light burn. Also I must bring out a little secret that for the past 4 weeks I have been simulating sunrise and sunset, half an hour each . All this after I found out that Lumatek and another I can´t remember the name have a controller device that can do that !! Wow, what an upgrade that would be ! Day 105 : taking the decision not to give up and mend this thing was the best decision ever. The flowers have reached a whole new level that I have never personally as a gardener experienced. A amber-ish tone noticed a couple of days ago has turned into a full patina. I gaze at them in aw and silence... Last night the humidity dropped to a staggering 32% and the overall temp 26°C !! As it was really cold outside last night, I turned the house heating system on and there I have it. The feeling that I got entering the room was that of a mid august night, with a sweet candied smell dominating the space. Day 106 : Today I have taken three of the ladies out in the Sun, the first sunny day in quite some time....so they will sit in the great outdoors and I will gather them at dusk. I'm speechless as I gaze at this marvel. The flowers are encrusted in a thick layer of resin witch gives them the snowiest appearance I have witnessed growing , except maybe for Pineapple Chunk, also a Barney's Special. Day 107 : First real sunny day in weeks! Took the opportunity and the ladies are now in the sun , bathing. The resin is glistening, slight color change after 6 hours. Tomorrow morning, after a night out, will be the moment of gathering. Day 108 : it rained all through the night. A new purple-ish shade was feasting my sight and as I shook the plants, a pungent weedy smell filled the clear morning air. Exhilarating, it filled me up from head to toes. I have long, long awaited for this moment... Thank You.
