WEEK 2 PINNED THEM DOWN. RUNNING LIGHTS 24/7. I SOMETIMES TURN THEM OFF FOR AN HOUR 2 AND SPRAY THEM DOWN AND LET THEM REST IN THE DARK BREEZY COOL AIR AND LET THE LIGHTS HAVE A BREAK THEN ITS ON WITH THE LIGHT! I GOT THESE 2 SEEDS FROM A VERY COOL NEIGHBOR THAT CAME FROM THIS PLACE CALLED NORTHWEST SEED BANK. I HAVE BEEN USING GROWERS CHOICE SEEDS EXCLUSIVELY FOR PAST 4 YEARS AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS A VERY BIG BAD GENITICS MISTAKE. I HARVESTED A REALLY NICE HAUL OF SOME SUPER TRIPPY GET YOU HIGH, GOOD LOOKING STUFF. DOES A GREAT JOB BUT HAS NO SMELL. EVERY GROWERS CHOICE SEEDS HARVEST HAD NO SMELL. YOU WOULD MAYBE GET A SMELL WHILE IN VEG OR FLOWERING BUT WAITING FOR THE TRICHOMES TO CHANGE AND IT ALWAYS FADES. I DRY AND CURE AS CAREFUL AS POSSIBLE. SO THIS IS EXCITING AND AT 2 WEEKS AND 6 INCHES, THESE THINGS REEK LIKE FREAKING GOOD DOPE!!! NOBODY BRAGS ABOUT A GROW AT 6 INCHES BUT IM GOING TO. I HAVE NEVER SMELLED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS. ITS AN AUTOFLOWER SO HOPEFULLY THOSE BUDS START POPPING UP SOON. SO FAR WE HAVE SOME OBVIOUS BUD SITES BUT I HAVE SEEN THOSE BEFORE AND ITS NICE BUT NOT QUITE THERE YET.I WILL BE WATCHING THESE 2 CLOSELY. THANK YOU ALL FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT!

This the last day of week 4. This thing aint working. It wont let me add a week. I have tried many many times. Seomthings up. Last time it happened, i think the server was busy and messed up. will see. These live creatures are 12 inches tall. Lots of budsites that i keep exposed as much as possible. The one on the right seems better and the only difference is the left one is in that "FANTASTIC POT" wich i think they should have called it "MORE WORTHLESS THAN JAGGING OFF A DEAD MAN, POT" only because its a piece of shit for my purposes, Its too wide and shallow, fabric too soft so it bends totally over like a FREAKING WET DISHRAG during LST and will discust you after all of the work and attention you need to give to end up with the best you can grow. Shameful. FANTASTIC JOKE, I MEAN FANTASTIC POT, has no handles like Vivosun, which are awesome and , they are just way beter than "SCREW UP YOUR LIFE POT" is all. and way cheaper. I need the rigid fabric to take the specimen to the sink for careful and close inspection, lst, watering"esp if using recharge as it will stain everything black, so wen i use it, just water through a funnel to avoid leaves etc.. We have bud sites and little pistils and buds forming but i have seen this all before a hundred times and i am praying to the real God, for wisdom on treating my crop properly. I alresdy snspped a nice branch but as always, a piece of painters tape and shel be back in no time. Actually, i cut that thing as i was thinking since it wasnt a branch of majore consequence, it will burn through a shit load of chlorophyl trying to repaitr itself. I know it will fix itself but at the expense of nutrients, etc to the rest of the leaves and over all. Embarrasing but first grow thats not Freaking growers choice seeds. When i started this 4 years ago, there were no places in the US that were legit, you had to buy from some place in Denmark or Uk., Anyway, there are now a couple and so no more same seeds from same place and NO MORE EXCUSES. I know how to grow good looking weed just fine its just that it dont smell like anything. This is the first grow ever in life that the plants have a strong smell. Over every grow in the past, for some reason, no smell. No terpine profile. Ok i will admit that i had temps in a closet at about 71 and humidity around 60 but i didnt pay enough attentionm, Every strain dries and cures different. BIG TIME. So ez to screw that up. "HOWEVER, I BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN SCREWING UP DRYING FOR HAVING NO FAN, NO AIR CIRCULATIO, SO GOT A SMALL FAN FOR THIS RUN. This harvest, I am giving a bunch to this vEGAN DUDE AND HIS WIFE " THEY ARE REAL COOL" down the street to dry and cure and see if we have different results. Also, I HAVE A FREAKING AWESOME IDEA!!!!! In a couple months or whenever these things are getting close to flush, I am thinking i could put the girls in the car and drive em down to the grow store and have that guy that looks he has never not been stoned on some real strong shit, EVER IN HIS LIFE and have him take a look and advise on when to harvest. Ill bring em next time and if hes cool, ill let him have a look. Im surprised, there isnt a local guy who can come by and for like 20-30 bucks, wright a sort of perscription for what you need to do to get things on the right track, all the way through harvest. EZ way to sell chemicles and stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. I just want an excuse to wear a lab coat. Maybe you can get certified somehow.

The ad a week thing is not working. My grow looks like shit. They dont look healthy and I believe i overwatered and did not wait long enough to water again. So, hopefully thats what it is. Never had a grow not work itself but i only got the 2 seeds. I wish i had 9-10 going but times are tough. Honestly, the next thing im going to focus on is growing some freaking SKUNK. Old school straight up SKUNK BUD. I want to be the Skunk Master. They will fly me to Holland to hang out in a freaky disco with that Dutch guy!

Overwatered. Nothing i can do but wait it out and hope the thing gets dry. It should be as easy as waiting but these guys seem like they went dormant for the last week or so. They should be thriving. Probably just being impatient. Im thinking start some Skunk in a cpl weeks. Its nice to have a busy garden. I have moved both outdoors. Beginning of summer, I slowly emptied the tent and i have never seen weed grow so quickly and strong, huge solid buds, etc....went to harvest and this brown mold shit was everywhere, ruined my summer plans but now i know what to look for. Problem is sort of once you notice it its too late. We have had record 100 degree days with 95%humidity which is the perfect recipe for mold!!!!!!! So im rolling the dice that the hi temps are on the downside and all will be well. They looked like shit in that tent and growing outdoors is really great unless you have too harsh an environment or too weak. Its a tough call. Tent is open now. Its time for skunk. I believe Skunk is going to turn it all around. I honestly cant remember what not being stoned feels like so i gave a couple samples of different strains harvested and cured at different times from 3 months cure to 1 yr, to a neighbor for he and wife to try and let me know what they think. With a clean pallet as they dont get high till after work. Will see. I am counting on 420 fastbuds SKUNK to redeem my soul.

Milky trichomes is when plant is ready, than, as any fruit, you can like it more mature (amber) or not yet ready (clear) Clear trichomes have less THC, amber should give you a different and more complete high, personally I harvest when milky because I have not so much patience and I want avoid mold or more insect problems at the end of growing 💪🏻💚

Sometimes you can’t beat Mother Nature how hard to try—- the OG can recognize the fakes. For real though—- heat and humidity will be a killer—- we have being dealing with it in Chicago for a while. Only way to prevent is give them space and pro actively spray ipm every fees days to help with mold prevention! Sucks and I happens to all of us!

Everything looked like it was dying. Put both outside for about 18 hours. I have evidence of and comments on pics, etc of nutrient problems and overwatering, all sorts of deficiancies......; and a couple hrs outside and they look brand new again. aCTUALLY IT WAS 24 HRS. i CANT LEAVE OUTSIDE DUE TO 90 DEGREES TO 100 TEMP AND 95% HUMIDITY TOTALLY FUCKING DESTROYED 3 CRAZY STUPID GIRLD BUSTING IT UP IN THE YARD. i HAD 2 NEIGHBORS WHO ARE COOL COME BUY A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK AND CHECKING THEM OUT AND WE JUST STAND AROUND TALKING SHIT ABOUT whatever. So. they all got moldy and my summer that was looking like gold turned to a steamy pile of shit. I just put a whole freaking plant in the freezer in hopes to maybe wake it back up if they find a cure like freaky walt disney. So, these 2 were literally my first grow so far that looked un healthy. You can look at the pics and see it. could have spent a fortune on chemicles or a new light. They were in the heat, humidity and it freaking rained!!! They got God fertelizer!! So, i check em best i can for critters and put them back in the tent as the humid- heat will turn em moldy. I just learn new shit every day, month, year....I know what bud rot is, how to spot it early and basically accept the fact that everything is about to be totally fucked. I really wished i lived somewhere with perfect outdoor conditions but Chicago/Northern Indiana i will bet, has not had a successful harvest anywhere, without bud rot this stupid hot as hell and more humid than the freaking amazon. But its like a Star Trek hospital scanner healer thing for a girl on the ropes. Just stick it outside for a day!! I was paranoid as hell about bugs but got the hell over it and put em back in the tent , the other thing that was different was the night,. I had them on 24hrs lights on and they were outside for one night, so im just turning lights off now when i go to bed and on when i get up. No set time. I just wake them up when i get up and we start our day. You really want to let these guys get to know you and big deal i have to remember every strain is different and genetics can be weird, drying and curing is different, water, nutes...buds

Over watered? I am fucked here. I finally settled on leaving em outside for the rest of september as they look like they goin to freaking wither away. iM ALMOST READY TO GIVE UP. I do have a game plan however to buy some skunk seeds. maybe a couple from different venders? im going to order seeds tomorrow from true north seeds as they will deliver to chicago and i think theyre in canada. I have always used growers choice seeds so im pissed about the fact that i have never had a good harvest that smells like great shit. So im a little sad about these 2. I had 2 critical purples and a gorilla glue with crazt stupid giant buds and i went to harvest in july and the fuckers all had bud rot and everybody says "dont smoke that shit" so i stuffed one whole freaking plant in da freezer in hopes that one day there will be a cure and i can ressurect my gorilla cookies without blowing up the whole joint with rubbing alcohol. The Vegans next door would freaking stroke out if i blew the roof off the house. Me and my stoned friend watched the tree in front totally go into big flames way hi up and the freaking fire men had to come and they were looking at me like : oh, you dont know how this fucker got on fire? it just miraculously burst into flames? The thing is, it was july 4th and it had just rained so they couldnt figure out how the tree could have gone up so severly. I could tell what happened but i couldnt say anything as you can get fined or some shit like that but i believe a saturn missile block was too close to this huge old tree and they flew right into this giant squirell nest and the whole top of the tree was in flames. i mean like on tv where its all fucked up on the news. So i went out there with my tactical flashlight on blinking mode to wave them in as its dark in my rural spot about hour and 1/2 outside of chicago. So, I had the moldy harvest that looked so good and i was so attentive and patient and all fucking mold now these 2 BARNEYS FARM acting very strange. They never really took off like they should have. I suspect they are photoperiods. I checked and there is an identical seed for sale and it just says feminized on it. Thats my excuse for over watering like a new guy and expensive lesson about heat, humidity and mold. I should have the new grow up and running in about 3 -4 weeks depending on delivery of seeds. AUTOFLOWERS ARE NOT EZ TO GROW. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SHORT CUT AND THERE IS NO SHORT CUT HERE.....Just ordered from Seedsman. Been scared to order over seas. these guys are in Spain and do big volume and around a while. Not big with cust service but they responded to my email pretty quick. Plus i got a crazy deal on some seeds. They were freaking out of 420 fastbuds skunk so i still have to do that run in the near future as i have a good feeling about it but i bought 8 seeds and they gave me 6 free ones. All autoflowers. Couple different breeders that dont sell to US tHOUGH THAT DOESNT REALLY MEAN ANYTHING.... It takes a while to get the hang of whats going on in the industry.All my harvests smell like hay or nothing. Im adding this shit called terpinator and i got some strong smelling seeds comming Skunk and plenty of it thank The Lord! northern lights and if its legit. well hang on to your ass! dont smoke that shit every day or your face will break out if its da shit. I seen it happen.thats we figured out this dude was copping our stash. Acne. Busted! He took off to follow the Dead with his hackee sack and vw vanagon, broke down in death freaking vally and proceeded to just be this totally fucked guy eating rice and hacking his way around the country. so i got that and Lemon auto and Gelato....14 seeds for like 93 bucks with delivery insurance and its already non its way. There are tons of good reviews for seedsman but the one drawback is selection. I really have a funny feeling bout that fast buds original Skunk. Im just betting that shit will turn you into some kind of weird over night Pimp with bag apeal and freaking terpinoids or whatever the fuck. im just sayin i g.............sad part is i didnt get what i wanted but the fact that im getting anything and know what to do with it when it comes...omg what a garden! Ok so some of the breeders are a bit exotic and are way down the grow diaries popularity chart but are highly rated for the harvests so far so i am going forward, expecting this all to work perfect. lst the shit out of everything, water in circular motion and i will have to eventually take each one out and examine under good lighting and have a really good look at whats going on. Doesnt sound like a big deal but depending on how many ladies you want hanging around it could turn into a real job. Pretty fucking exciting shit. Im only going to grow my 3 and believe it or not, i know enough people who grow near me who would be thrilled to plant some of my beans for a big cut of the action. I may just keep some in the fridge as i cant handle that many but i really shouldnt as it creates issues when drying and curing different strains but you just have to keep close watch and i have a funny feeling, the only reason my shit, which will get you stoned as fuck and looks great but has no smell as i always hang in closet with no ventilation or air movement so i really need to keep on top of smell and terpines.Anyway, these 2 guys here are back in black since i put them outside and ventilated the shit out of the roots on both as over watering took place. I just finished a big grow that went freaking moldy from 100 degree heat and 95% humidity but they were taking so much water every 2 days and its like getting off the hiway after a long drive, you have to get used to going slower. So im not giving up on these 2. Last year i had one planted in the ground that just ran out of sinlight and never finished, If that happens to these ill bring em back inside, ill check for bugs real good and just move on, actually in the 3 days they have spent in the yard, they have started to get some bud action. couple days im thinking sdd some big bud. see what happens. bottom line, i aint giving up.

The first grow this summer was the finest i have ever produced however, the shit got moldy and i could have prevented that had i known hi heat and humidity makes it happen. You never think it will happen to you untill it does. Critical purple and gorilla glue just beautiful buds 100% worthless. So i got the 2 barneys farm seeds from a neighbor and i believe i let these 2 down. I just finished a heavy watering harvest and forgot these young ones werent drinking the way the last ones were so i over watered and maybe theres some nute lock out going on. I thought of just digging them out and examining the roots and possibly some attempt at root surgery but these are freaky deaky autoflowers and nobody can predict what these fuckers may or may not do. So, if its 80 and 50% humidity or less, they go in the yard if the sun is out. At night i check for bugs and critters and put them back in the 3x3 with the marshydro tsw2000 which is about 400 watts for a sleepless night of fake sun then repeat to death do us part! I hope i dont bring some shit into my tent from outside. I had a bad nightmare or more of a dillusion that i saw a shrew running across the silver floor. Being perpetually stoned will make you fuck up the whole grow. I have to admit i had 5 different strains in jars, labeled, dated notes etc..plus i can always look back here to see what i did but i took some from each and put a bit of each into a bag and wrote on them with marker the details. I was going to gift them to the guy who gave me the seeds to check it out and give me an honest opinion. Havent heard a word from the guy but whatever. Bottom line, i mixed up the lids that had the notes and mixed them all together by accident somehow. I have enough left to survive another harvest so at least i got that going for me and some seeds hopefully on there way. Excited about new seeds. I have enough decent lights to put my self in a good spot but need 2 more tents though i have a closet grow area set up that i hate to say does as good as good a job with no tent. Plus i sort of like the comforting light leaking out from the edges of the tarp i havec covering the opening and the whir of the fans. I have been growing 24/7 light schedule on auto flowers for 3 years now and it has never been a problem. Only thing i have to focus on is the 1000 different things you need to pay constant attention to and i have a serious problem with drying/curing. Everything ends up not smelling awesome at all. I keep 50% humidity and 70 degrees and adjust as they dry as different strains and grows just dry differently and thats it so there is no exact science but a pretty good outline to follow. However after watching video 2500 and looking more importantly at other grows right here, i believe the fact that i have been drying for 4 years in a closet with stagnent air and absolutley no ventilation at all. Thats the only thing i can think of thats seperating me from a green blazer with gold buttons. So whenever these 2 bitches decide to treat me better, i will be xtra attentive to the dry. esp with ventilation and of course i have discovered a new chemicle that i think i absolutley need. its called terpinator and im hoping that will give ne that 5 star bag apeal everybody wants. meantime, i have plenty of this shit that doesnt smell much, though its definatley weed when you smell it burn and its all mixed together and its a pretty trippy high though i cheat for some variety on occasion and hit the dispencary but the quality just isnt there anymore. I dont know if it ever was. I was getting much better weed that was home grown hydro bud and the shit was 250 for a freaking quarter ounce! 250! Top shelf best shit ever though. Thats my freaking goal in life. I have to clean the freaking bathroom as my moms comming over and she walks right past the weed and goes straight to the freaking bathroom and makes all sorts of claims about a 50 year old man who grows weed and keeps house like a 15 year old. Thing is, you really need to keep the environment as clean as possible and i just thought of something horrible. The bags i have waiting for the new seeds are all mixed up and i have no idea which ones had the moldy buds in them. Ill ask a grow question but nobody will know for sure and the safest bet will be to sterilize the tent after i finish up my Barneys Farm abortion, which may still turn out some decent buds, the fuckers refuse to die!!!!! and buy new grow bags and just start over to be safe. Or can i bring them to a laundrymat and wash and dry them? Ill ask.

Just wash em and go for it. 😋 (might get a bit of earth out of the bags beforehand so they dont have a reason to complain afterwards) 😅 They are safe to reuse and unless the pot starts to rot or mold or something you dont have to worry.

This was a weak grow but i have some larfy buds covered in white trichomes. I'm pretty sure, if i cut these and then never let the rh drop below 60 or at least not to the high 40s, This stuff should het you totally high. Im going to ask a grow question which noone can acuratley answer but i may get an idea. I just wonder if waiting too long to harvest could cause problems. I figure as long as there are no or maybe just a couple brown triches, then i can keep letting it grow to get the doomed to be small buds to get bigger. Lets see. I have been keeping this outside for 8 hours and 16 in tent with 340 watt marshydro tsw2000 and the thing has come back from the dead and the buds are tightening up. When should i harvest this pittence? I have been inpatient and arrogant about my grows also pissed off beyond imagination from this summer. So, moving on like everybody else in class, i always do a 24 hr light cycle and i suspect this strain doesnt like it. So a grower here called, Papa_T suggested a dark period. It makes alot of sense to give these things a break and even let the equioment cool off. They do go into a night time posture at night. The leaves fold down a bit. All plants look different at night a bit in the garden. I will say that it normally looks fine but if you look up the genetics of this strain it does not mention ruderalis which is supposed to be from the land of 24 hr sun and the thing that makes an autoflower what it is. Either way, everyone needs a break from time to time or they get pissed off and these girls are pissed! Not much time left but i will do my best to finish this. Im going to give them a dark period until finished and going forward as i have some exciting seeds comming. I just wonder about this strain. Barneys Farm looks to sell 2 versions of wedding cake and one is a photo period. Regardless of my stupidity and normal mistakes mostly from stoned gardening, I have to figure out the difference between fast grow photos and autoflowers. Ill ask one more grow question and see what the community thinks.

Am i safe to wait as long as it takes for some brown trichomes or does that not always happen? Right now, 99% white triches, what am i waiting for? Can this grow get any better at this point? Can you loose terpines by harvesting too l;ate? Can they get bigger?

The moment they start turning amber is when peak levels are on a decline. You will just loose a bit of potency pulling to late but also gain in aroma ripeness. Sounds like you’re ready to harvest. Enjoy

Have i been treating Photoperiods like autoflowers? This may explain the weird grow at least partly. If you click on the Barneys Farm thing and strain name, you will get details and doesnt say autoflower anywhere, jusr femanized. There are different ads for this one.

They are in fact autoflowers for sure. However after reviewing your diary I can clearly see why you’re having a bit of issues. You take your plants outside for 8 hours a day and then bring them in for the rest of the time and give them 24 hours of sunlight. I suspect your plants have just grown funny from the lack of dark period and having to adapt to two completely different environments. I believe all plants need a dark period. I would do autos at 18 light 6 dark. 24 hours a day just never gives the plant a break. They’re stressed out. I’m sorry man. You probably would have had better luck just leaving them either outside or inside the whole time. Chock it up to a learning experience. You still have some decent bud to harvest friend.

Trichomes look small, not tall and big. I gotta stop complaining about everything. I have at least enough to get through the holidays and its good stuff. I suspect my real problem lies in dry and cure. Sometimes you pop a couple of autoflowers and they just grow like mad dogs and sometimes its a major challenge esp if you screw something up like over water. I maintain that i have never had a dry/ cure that ended up smelling like anything at all. I have been blaming the seed vendor but it just cant be as plenty of people have good harvests with same strain im doing. Problem is i have a neighbor whos having same issues. I got the idea of 70 degrees and 50-58% rh. Every dry and cure is different but i got my not good program from youtube videos. You never get enough information to learn anything most times and you still have to watch your grow like a hawk and be patient. I have a new program for dry. After the cut, the rh needs to be at least 60 from that time all the way into the jar and onward or you 100% lose terpines. Other thing is temprature. So i have a small room with a window ac unit and next dry will take 7-12 days at a constant temp of 65 , so ac will be on nonstop for a few days and rh has to stay at 60 so humidifier needs to be maintained. THE OTHER THING IS AIR CIRCULATION. YOU DONT WANT A FAN BLOWING ON IT BUT STAGNANT AIR IS NO GOOD. So, if this works, and i start getting that dank bag apeal with terps and sticky resin everywhere and crystals......What im thinking is hang it all in the tent which is in the room with ac unit and maybe 2 6 inch fans and exhaust on at 190 cfm. LET SIT IN DARK 48 HOURS BEFORE CHOP. The must have ac and 65degrees came from youtube guy i think canucks grow. Everything this guy touches turns to gold and his house is xtra clean. Its too clean. Has to have a cleaning lady. but hes changed his mind over time on dry and cure and the latest is 60 rh and 65 degrees temp to dry and 60 rh till its all gone. Maybe this will work and the harvest wont smell like hay or nothing at all. Growing weed is a big comitment and a shitload of work and you need to do alot of research and make all the mistakes i think. I dont know why people title "first grow ever" and it comes out looking like top shelf shit. I dont buy it. Its not that simple. Though with the right genetics and proper watering you could have an amazing harvest first time out. I just have a hard time accepting the fact that i have no idea what im doing and do not have the knowledge regarding nutrients and when and how much etc...but i have a good idea. This COVID SHIT IS SOME FREAKING SHIT but if you have an indoor garden to maintain, you always have something to look forward to. I gotta go see the Wizard. actually the Wizard owns the head shop and the grow supply guy who looks like he has been ripping bongs since a toddler, hes zombie boy. Zombie boy recommended that i add this fungal growth shit called orca and the main reason was i need it according to his assesment of what i said i was using and his final closing statement was, its only 10 bucks so.....and then hes like, you should buy some fish shit, you want some fish shit? What i want to do is make the clock go faster and it aint happening so plan next grow while maintain current. I got some skunk comming from seedsman if it ever gets hjere. Im going to treat the skunk better than i would a good friend!!!!!

Something strange about these autoflowers. If you click on the seed thing it shows the family tree so you can see how the strain was put together. For some reason, this particular auto does not have ruderalis anywhere so it cant be a true autoflower. Which means its a photoperiod

A photoperiod plant will not flower at 24/0. If you want a decent smoke, give your plants what they need - sleep! 18/6 is optimum and a plant can not be healthy or function properly without a dark period during every 24 hour cycle. Without sleep your plants will not be able to complete their photosynthesis cycle and have a correctly functioning metabolism and without a correctly functioning metabolism, your plants can not produce prime cannabinoids/trichomes. Every living thing on planet Earth needs sleep, and cannabis is no exception! By the way, photoperiod plant are superior to auto flowers in every respect in my opinion, so there is no reason why you can not obtain quality flowers from a photo period plant. Anyway, all auto flowering plants started out as photoperiod plants. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Im just giving water now. Almost all fan leaves are died off. They started to die on a daily basis last month. Autos are full of curve balls. These should be all done by now i believe. The one on right has amber triches that you can spot almost every time you look anywhere but maybe .0ne percent and the other was slower all through and has mostly cloudy . Im going to try to stick to the idea where when you are ready to harvest, wait one more week but will have to check daily for Justin. Thing is, before a chop, im going with 48 hrs of dsrkness and i need to have the 60%rh and 65degrees F environment ready to go. From the time you chop to the last bud you smoke, that shit should never let below 60 rh And at 48rh, you will lose all hopes of a terpene profile. I heard this batch of Voodoo on You tube from a gut called Canucks grow who doesnt ever seem to have any problems that dont easily fix. A year ago or so he said 70 degrees and 50 %rh and hes changed the program. Im not going to kid myself and end up bblaming this guy if it goes to shit. I forgot i have not been drying with any type of ventilation at all and thats not good i guess. No direct fan bur air circulation and even with all that, you have to watch close as every strain dries and cures different so adjustments will need to be made and it should take 7-12 days but the longest i have been able to pull off so far was 5 days and the shit smelled like hay mostly. Though i noticed some buds from a few months ago smell like lemon when you break em in half so im pretty happy with that. So i will most likely harvest the one and set it to dry inside the tent in the lung room and turn on the ac to a constant 65 degrees, hang the shit the way everybody seems to and run the exhaust fan in the tent with a humidifier in the room. Have to be freaking careful of mold all the way to and including in the jar. Every week, grow, year, i learn new stuff and am lucky enough to have a neighbor whos as obsessed about growing as myself. The other night we talked about bud rot in the middle of thew street for 2 hours. I'm sorry but too me, thats about as cool as it gets. Mosquitos biting, crickets and oh one more thing about terpine profiles! Im lucky and this shit is going to harvest out good. ill just put the other one in a closet i have a MARSHYDRO something something hanging in, its got 200 watts from the wall and white diodes fromSamsung some reds and a meanwell driver. so im not worried about the thing going into shock. I have done it before and i have no choice. It will be fine and the harvest is the most important thing. Im thinking i will have my hands full this winter. Hopefully Seedsman comes through. Never used them before or anyone overseas but its like a third of the price and the selection isnt perfect but you can try out a ton of different shit. My big game plan is to make it smell like skunk in my neighbors kitchen while there eating breakfast from my outdoor exhaust. SHIBUINU would be a good dog but i have a Pug at the moment.

These should have harvested 5 weeks ago. 24 more hours of darkness now. Dark, Chop, Trim, Dry, Cure, What could possibly go wrong now? Everything!! Thia Aint EZ!! I have to get environment set to 65 F and 58-60 RH so hopefully i will find a humidifier with a control to keep it at the right rh. I have been fucking around with these 2 for too long and my new seeds are 30 days and counting for delivery from Spain through Seedsman. Im actually ok with seedsman feet dragging as i need 10-12 days to dry anyway and im using my tent to dry in lung room this time, like everybody else. BAD NEWS HERE IS THERE 2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEDDING CAKE FROM BARNEYS FARM. ONE AUTO AND ONE PHOTO BUT IT DOESNT SAY PHOTO ANYWHERE JUST FEM AND I THINK FAST. oRETTY SURE THESE WERE/ARE PHOTOS. tHEY JUST grew so weird and for too long. I had them outside during day for last month and inside at night with an hour or so dark period in the morning. Trichoms are mostly milky to almost whit. couple ambers and almost no clears so im choppin tomorrow. I have to say that gardening and SMOKING strong ass Indica, do not mix. I have f'd up so many things. But i got it all under controll at the moment. I think.😁

If i can get this stuff to dry and cure and not end up smelling like hay, i will be thrilled beyond imagination.. so 12 more days or whatever it ends up being but thats goal. I am watching this dry and cure like a hawk!!! WILL UPDATE WITH DRY WEIGHT BEFORE I disapear in a cloud of smoke to be a good sport and a respectible growdiaries member with complete grows. Peace!

I’m curing as well. I open the jars for 20 minutes three times a day. I’m gonna keep doing this until I’m happy with it. I also keep 62% Boveda packs in the jars. Once a day I’ll take it all out and just have all be in a new position within the jar. I’m thinking I might have to do this for about three to four weeks. I dunno I’m still feeling it out myself. This process takes time though. Anyway congrats on the harvest. 🤙
