Big day today as I have committed to an amazing outdoor grow, courtesy of Legacy Market Farm.
Talking genetics and favourite doobie stories with LMF, and these 3 Seeds (amongst others) were sent cross-Country with aN invitation to grow some legendary strains.
Here we are, Wet today. more details to come, I’m stoked that there are 8 full weeks of grow-time before we even think about going outside, here in Southern Ontario.
A few of the seeds in picture 2, are bag seed. So there are extras. This year's focus is on all of them. These 3, out in the country, I hope to Feature throughout the Summer
Its the 1st step, Here we go
- 24-30 hrs water then directly into a Cup w/ ProMix/Soil.
It has begun
Mar 27
- germination of these 3 seeds has been part of a larger effort. It gives me the ability to say, these 3 have been finnicky as things go. Watching closely at the week mark.
- Cloudwalker has presented an awkward launch with its shell clamped-on tight and a crazy angle. Seed shell removed without incident
28th,
- these 3 seeds have a lot of fanfare going for them, but they are proving to be the sensitive types.
- both cloudwalker and Purpsberry have seeds come above-ground and then fail to shed the Seed casing.
Cloudwalker was entangled in a goo of sorts, that was gently pryed away this morning, allowing the Cotyledons to seperate for the first time! Yay
And the seed helmet of the Purpsberry 1 was also lifted off after 3 days of stagnant posturing. I am afraid that the Roof95 has failed, and PurpsBerry 2 is simply not above ground yet.
- yesterday I placed a Seed of each of these strains in Water just in case. (and a cloudwalker as well)
I’ve been holding off reporting on their progress, because the Stars have been holding things-up.
- Action has been taken, here we go
29th
- rOOF95 did not make it
-glad I soaked 1 of each a couple days ago. Now they are in Soil after 36hrs in water. Same approach
30th
- happy to say the original CloudWalker seed, has been transplanted into a 1 gal pot after putting some roots into that Solo cup. All 3 Diary strains are awaiting second attempts (x3) to Pop out of the dirt
- 2 PurpsBerry are at crucial stages of survival. They seem to be changing, fighting it seems, tba
Mar 30th
- Cloudwalker has been the busy plant of the 3, fighting from the start with being glued shut, & minor surgery. Seeing roots in the bottom of the solo cup said she was ready for more. Moved into 1gal
- Purps are still fighting, tonight should decide
- a new seed of each has been moved into Soil and this diary has begun w/Cloudwalker being moved into a Gallon Pot
Mar 31st
- Purps #1 is pulling out of the Dive and looks great this morning (tiny, but better than ever)
#2 is a goner…
#3 is still freshly in Soil
April 2nd,
* the first batch of 3-seeds was not a Success with only 1 of 3 seeds successfully germinating. Yes these are When that single seed (cloudwalker) was moved into a 1-gal pot, I started the diary while covering my Ass and stuck 3 more seeds in the water/ground.
I’ve decided to let this first successful seed move-on and I’m am going to re-start following this 2nd-wave of 3 individual seeds, now that “1 of each” is available.
Sorry for the scattered start, but I’m sticking to the plan.
Here’s to a 3 plant diary, as planned.
Apr 4
- all 3 plants into 1 gal pots finally
- tiny foliar mist at lights-out. The rest of the tent is getting it, its time to start tasting it
Apr 6
- small watering, just to keep them Moist. Progressing steadily
Apr 10
- 100ml liquid for breakfast w/ rapid root & Cal / Mg
- tomorrow begins 2nd week for these show-savers.
April 11th
- made it out of that first-week above ground thing. Here we go
13th
- yellowing leaves attributed high soil pH & cal mg needs.

-even these seedlings look perkier now
Apr 16th,
- new Foliar spray is ready, applying shortly
- clipped all if the Cotyledon and 1st True Leaves
April 18th
- this grow moves forward with some solid growth from the players. And some Nutrition enters the fray. We’ve got roots in place, now we need to feed them a bit
- plants have each been fed a tiny amount of nutrients, ahead of the transplant tonight. Having moist substrate makes the plants easier to handle. Then a gentle watering-in with the new Pot and fresh Substrate… tonight
- AND, all 3 (4) plants got moved into the Blue Room during the dark. Its up and running.
- holding room conditions without too many issues; 65%RH 23c, top Leaf temp 21.5c. lite is at 50% and 60cm away. (Last couple smaller seeds are almost ready for more lite)
19th,
- transplant will be after the next feed, w/Nutes. Not tonight, keeping things quiet one nite after the move
- Foliar misting at Lites out. Every 3 days is a target
21st
- transplants went well except for the air-pot… bad choice when you Need an extra pot, and it gets transplanted again.
PurpsBerry is fine, it just got exciting for a few moments…
- ea plant had 300ml of 50% nutes as a welcome to the new 12L Pot
- next couple of drinks will feature Root stimulants; rapid start, Root Builder and GPH (humic acid). Then its Lift-Off
22nd
- both groups of plants have had the liquid Root stimulation; 350ml; pH-6.3, ppm-154, EC-304
We’ll wait a few days and do it again. These 3 Ladies look good today !!! Lots of Green in the Tent
23rd a.m.,

28th
- plants were fed some nutrients this morning; 450ml
- tonight I’ll refresh the photos of the Strains involved; rOOF95, CloudWalker and PurpsBerry
- yep, dinner was extensive. “Just a taste” was the plan with a couple of the ingredients. Tea was made with enzymes / grow microbes. Then the meal was mixed and pH corrected.
30th
- Foliar solution for Misting the plants at Lights-out: consists of a Kelp Meal tea, Yucca, Full-up & Ocean Magic.
Foliar feeding has been every other day this week
-Food -Food -Water is how the cycle is going to run. We just had food #1, two days ago. The cycle begins
May 1
- Tea is brewing for tomorrows hungry at Dinner time
- 3rd piece of Mylar is up. All this ReCycled Lighting could be intense
May 2nd 2022
- entering the 5th week above ground and these Ladies are ready for a big week.
- Dinner tonight
- Foliar Mist at Lites-out (every other day)
- lites raised twice yesterday, things are going Vertical
- room is 25c with a 2c delta-t to the top leaves and steady, circulating Rh of 72%. Go figure
- judging from the week-older room-mates, this will be a week of Growth!!!
- last nite i took some individual pictures and posted them. They are in week 4, last images posted. Got to keep the dates correct. Cheers !
May 3rd
- fed the Plants Breakfast at 475ml ea. (food session#2, water is Next fri/sat) All looks good ! (4.5hrs till lites-out)
May 6th
- Foliar mist again at Lites-out
May 7
- watered first thing this morning (w/ calMg, amino acid, silica in the water)
All looks good, more height from the Ladies and the lites are lifted.
- ancouple Fan Leaves were removed from ea of the 4 plants this morning
8th
- foliar mist at lites-out
Where are these Seedlings coming from…? In raising 38 plants, I used 45 seeds. Of that, 4 were unrecovered.
In the ensuing weeks, 13+ seedlings have sprouted from the Pots and here is one more happening today!
What gives? Where do they come from?
if it is a cannabis seed, maybe one snuck into the soil and did not germinate for a while now. Lots of unknowns but I have seen this outside when a bunch of seeds get tossed in a plot.
First things first, identify what the plant it, wait for some leaves, if it is cannabis decide what you want to do, transplant it out of that pot into its own or kill it.
Not all seeds germinate right away. I have found after having seeds in my seedling mix not sprout then when I mixes them into the garden soil outside I get little sprouts.
Good Luck!

17th
- uploaded a shot featuring CloudWalker#1, the first seed attempted. It was solid from start and in feat of an extremely tall plant on a friends property, kinda sorta exposed, I topped it just above the 5th node. Clipped 1 and 2 off. These 3 nodes have ExPloDeD. Can’t wait to see it. Time to Amend…. some soil
- oh yeah, front left; pine tar kush/ back left; acapulco gold/ back right; fighting buddha
June 20th
- all the plants get visited this week
- cover shot features a Topped CloudWalker out in a yard (fighting buddha behind her) working those 3rd, 4th and 5th nodes into a giant ball of life
- batch of Root Boost gets delivered this week
22nd
- updated the garden photo from Buddies. CloudWalker #1 was topped above the 5th node, and this Beast had become huge, with only 3 nodes on the plant
24th

- mild defoliation; shadow-makers and leaves pointing back towards the main stalk
- catching up with PurpsBerry and Co later this week
- next visit sees some airflow mtce., re: inner-node clean-up
July 1st
- cleaned areas around the plants, without removing natural camouflage. And did a good mtce defol. Applied a Mulch to each plants surface, after they each fed a Single gallon of Nutrients. The mulch is a shield for rains that are forecast. The plants are thirsty.
July 2nd
- no storm happened after all, so Full soil amendments were worked into the soil, and PurpsBerry is now Officially in Flower. Calling it day 1. Not enough leaves to schwazze.
( all 3 other plants at this site remain in veg )
- genetics so far have said nothing abut autoflower potential; especially with 15hrs of Direct Light and in week 13 of Veg… Its going to be interesting seeing where this goes
July 4th
*** PurpsBerry is in Flower ***
- calling this week-2 Flower because her Branches are covered in them. Yes it brings questions into the genetics… here in week 14 of Veg… at least we will have something to smoke while Harvesting the rest
- on July 2 purpsberry had the soil amended to Bloom Fertilizers, Compost, worm castings etc and her next meal is Bloom nutes
- rOOF95, CloudWalker will drink on some Root Boost when they are next thirsty (6th, fed)
8th
- PurpsBerry was fed 2 gallons and Bloom Microbes were used for the first time. Diet change here we go
July 11th
- PurpsBerry is Officially in Week 2 of Flower. Strange as it may seem, this Somewhat unknown, unpredictable phenotype is really messing with us.
- PurpsBerry gets a Schwasse next week on July 22nd (~day 19-20 in flower)
- CloudWalker(s) and rOOF95 are both over-performing, so all is good. (Alaskan Purples are rockin x 3)
14th
- purpsberry fed 2 gal of nutes mix. Water meal is next.
plant is taking on a xmas tree structure and its top Cola is already a foot long
July 18th
- PurpsBerry will not be Schwazzed, but she will have a little defoliation carried-out here to mark the end of 3rd week flower.
- CloudWalker and rOOF95 get visited today; meal planning n Mtce
20th, did some preventative mtce on all these plants today / yesterday. Bamboo tripods, secured around a stable spot on the main stalk. It makes a knob of side-branches and bamboo, snugged into a collar. Really stabilizes the plant
- CloudWalker / rOOF95 still Vegging, getting them ready for this next 3 week transition into Flower; (aug 13 is when my community hits only 14hrs of daylight)
- PurpsBerry is way ahead of that lol. This seems like it would easily be the 3rd week. Possibly more. Taking the Ripening to the limit. I believe this Plant is going to be “Tested”; tba
21st
- big winds have split one of the CloudWalkers; of course, the one that was topped. With 2 plants outside this summer, that have been modified by each FIM and Topping, both of them has failed and Split. Each was and is being repaired; rope / duct tape. But thats the last limb loss for any outdoor plants right now… LST ROCKS
- the other CloudWalker is Robust, and still on the Menu
Aug 8 ** working backwards, this is Officially when we are calling it week 1 of Flower, for both Machupi’s Lady and PurpsBerry
July 25th,
- teas brewing for both Veg and Flowering plants. Today the Veg plants get it. Tomorrow PurpsBerry
- both plants have thrived with the Rains. rOOF95 hit the 8’ mark and CloudWalker cruised in at 7’
26
- PurpsBerry fed a couple
Gallons of Bloom nutes. Wow this plant is evolving into something bordering on Evil. Magnificent, and Evil 😈 and somehow, Christmas-like
- this IS week 4 of Flower for PurpsBerry
30th
- with rOOF95 now at 9’, we are planning some Support structures to be assembled WITHIN these two plants.
Vertical Bamboo’s are to be located within the plant and we are kinda wrapping her in a Trellis, attached to the Bamboo. Probably see it Tuesday
Aug 1
- visiting plants Tues / Wed
-purpsberry is in 5th week flower now, cannot wait to see the new Growth
- Bat Guano added to PurpsBerry’s Tea for the first time; plus Kelp Meal (soil amendment in future applications)
- plan is to build a trellis system into a rOOF95 and CloudWalker, for protection against bud-weight and wind in the coming months
- plants have grown beyond expectation, so it's a great time to Defoliate the inner nodes, install an internal Bamboo/Mesh support structure and get ready for these babies to fill-up
2nd
- bamboo structure went-up no problem, including Horizontal stays at the 5.5’ level. Affixed 5’ tall trellis to one of 5 bamboo rods, and slowly walked it around the structure, pulling branches through, until the trellis easily zip-tied to the bamboo.
Setting the 6’ tall vertical bamboo rods inside the canopy, also helped hide the gear, and provided a snug internal layer of support for the coming months. Will check on it, may need a taller layer after stretch…
- microbe tea made for each; Veg and Flower. Pots are still too moist, will be fed tomorrow
7th
-last day of the week
- checking on PurpsBerry tomorrow, ~ week 5 or 6 of Flower
- applying Bloom nutrients to a Soil amendment, for all 3 plants.
August 8th 2022
- today it was decided to apply the 2nd batch of Amended Soil to PutpsBerry (and co.) Flowering nutes included and another Rain Shower has just begun the process of feeding these Ladies
- regionally, we will hit the 14hr of Sunlight mark, which happens this weekend; Flower it is
- PurpsBerry is in Week 5 of Flower, looking strong. Pics to follow
- short video looks at the bamboo / trellis that was installed on rOOF95 and CloudWalker
10th
- bamboo used to open up PurpsBerry and provide some support for these swelling Branches. Forget individual buds, these branches are getting phat.
- contacted TH Seeds re rOOF95. They claim its a short Indica… and we just hit 10’. No mislabelling or mix-ups. This was direct from pkg to water.
Cannot wait to speak/type with them.
12th
- soil finally amended in the rOOF95 and CloudWalker.
- Sprinkler saying welcome to Flower to these monsters
14th
- last day of week 1 in Flower
Aug 15th
- kids get a visit tomorrow
- Rezin replaced by OverDrive in the menu
- meal (tea) posted above is for PurpsBerry. Entering week 6 of Flower. others are getting a Microbe Tea as well. (Less intense)
(Ps, overdrive is only being used on PurpsBerry and Machupi’s Lady; they are the only 2 that far along)
16th,
- CloudWalker and rOOF95 were fed and defoliated. Reaching/Stretching branches on these monsters as they enter week 2 is difficult to see right now, bit its higely extensive. Pics will soon show several hundred reaching branches against a sky… its coming
- PurpsBerry and Co. get some love tomorrow
17th
- rain held-off and some plants got fed. PurpsBerry (+ others) has moved onto Overdrive in her menu, minus the Rezin.
- PurpsBerry gets the next Defoliation attention. Airflow is a must. (today the LSD got priority, holy shit it was Full and dense with small Fan leaves, Purps is close to that, cannot flirt with bud rot)
*** Purps is definitely in week 7, found buds in pictures June 29th ***
August 22nd
- week 3 of Flower for rOOF95 and CloudWalker
- PurpsBerry enters week 8 and will be getting a little defoliation today. Too many small Fan Leaves remain on the branches… moisture build-up and lack of airflow are behind my urgency
- cleaned away many of the larger fan leaves still on the Roof95 and CloudWalker. More like a weekly routine with Constant growth on these MoNsTeRs
24th
- (Machupi’s Lady), CloudWalker, (Alaskan Purple) and rOOF95 were all de-Stressed this morning with a batch of B-Vital, after a stressful Defoliation yesterday
28th
- last day of week 3 for Roof95 and CloudWalker
- last day of week 8 for PurpsBerry
- CloudWalker / rOOF95 fed 1.5gal ea of Microbe / Enzyme Tea. Posted above, its was a doozy
- Soil gets Amended again, on the 7th of Sept…
Aug 29th
- entering week 4 of Flower for CloudWalker and rOOF95
- PurpsBerry enters week 9 of Flower. Looking at her today,!if this monsoon does not happen
-Purps fed and she looks amazing. Possible flush next week. Samples to be taken this week for microscope assessment
Sept 4th
- last day of week 4 for rOOF95 and CloudWalker
- PurpsBerry gets inspected today, could be close to Harvest for her
Sept 5th
- PurpsBerry is close to harvest, with maybe a week left of sunshine.
- CloudWalker and rOOF95 enter week 5 with a lot of activity on the plants. rOOF95 bud formation is one huge activity
- tape measure and bamboo stix showed rOOF95 to be 12’ tall.
7th
- Final Nutes for PurpsBerry tomorrow. That gang gets fed a microbe Tea ( lsd, panama red, black tuna, honduras x panama )
- CloudWalker / rOOF95 get spoiled on 9th. Microbe /Enzyme tea + +
8th
- PurpsBerry fed and a bud taken for trichome checks. She was fed her last nutrient meal and will be flushed daily for a few, 3 or 4 days. Harvest is in site
- to be chopped/weighed Sunday pm. Weather is perfect till then; BoNuS
- Harvest time people; PurpsBerry will be next, then Russian Tzar Bomba, then LSD. Thats it for the fast-bloomer photo-periods
- Blue-room will be needed for the next Wave of plants. Especially rOOF95 and CloudWalker
10th
- more flushing today for PurpsBerry, she gets Harvested tomorrow at Dinner time
- for the record; PurpsBerry will be harvested on the last day of week 10 in Flower
- rOOF95 and CloudWalker get fed a Microbe / Enzyme Tea at noon today + NPK + Green Planet treats… (posted above)
- powdery mildew found on North-Side of rOOF95. CloudWalker is clean, but rubbing up against Roof
- stripping affected Fan Leaves in the a.m. (no composting)
11th
- confirming that White Powdery Mildew had a good outbreak on rOOF95, I just spent 4 hours yanking leaves from rOOF95 and a few from CloudWalker. (cloudwalker gets finished tomorrow)
- This Schwazzing of sorts, was extensive on rOOF. If there was obvious signs of mildew, that leaf is gone made it easy to do
And really, it is a marvellous outcome. Plant looks amazing, its truly filling those Branches with buds. Airflow is zero problem
- then the plant was sprayed liberally with Safer 3in1. Which is now a weekly chore, and should have been part of a prep routine…starting in Veg
- This may not Stop powder mildew but it will limit growth. The schwazze put a great dent in the Mildews progress. All 7000 leaves
- PurpsBerry was Harvested at 4lbs on the nose. Hanging Now in an air conditioned tent; 62-65F at R.H 55%. See ya in a couple weeks on that one
- in essence, CloudWalker gets a utility Schwazze tomorrow afternoon, start of week 6 flower. Cheers

Week 23. Harvest
2 years ago
Happy Harvest Day!
PURPSBERRY Charles Scott Family Farms - Custom Breeder & Strain
Sept 11th 2022
- PurpsBerry has kept us all on our toes from the beginning.
An incredible structure and a nice Sweet and Floral bouquet, and really, who knows whats coming, other than it has some Famous parents.
4lbs on the nose (wet) and hardly any Leaves involved. Final weight might be a surprise, in a couple weeks
It has a bit of a history, so I cannot wait to see how she progresses.
- I had a chance to FEEL some of the HEFT involved in moving these bushes (rOOF95 and CloudWalker) and it feels as if there is easily 35-40lbs of weight on the end of a long branch… serious physical forces being put on the Roots / Trunk
26th
- PurpsBerry gets chopped-up and weighed tomorrow after 16 days-in the tent; 62F at RH55%
Sept 12
- Found and removed lots of white powder mildew on rOOF99. Basically removed affected Fan Leaves and Sugar Leaves that were Obviously hit.
Basically Schwazzed the plant at 12’ tall.
- right up against it is CloudWalker, and she has hardly been touched. Today she gets schwazzed as needed. She needs a haircut big time for airflow!!
- gonna be a great week 5/6 of flower
- Yesterday a lot of Fan and Sugar leaves were removed from Roof and today, cloudwalker gets it. I’m siding with Andrew and the application of NPK’s B-Vital, to help deal with that specific “stress”
- ladies gobbled-up five gallons as recommended… No problem. I guess my buddy is soaking in a tub tonight with a handful of pressure-cooked Fan Leaves tonight. (from the clean side) There ya go boyz, thanks for mentioning that!
14th
- now that Safers 3in1 has been applied and the plants basically defoliated, future mtce sprays are going to be 2 parts whole milk: 3 parts water mixed and sprayed every 7-10 days depending on condition. Won’t kill Mildew, will hold it at bay. I wont get square gonads
- tomorrow the Soil will be Amended for the Final application: Worm Castings: Bat Guano: Kelp Meal: Bloom Boost fert: Azomite. Scratched-in and Watered through. (Microbe / Enzyme Tea Sunday)
15th
- applied a mix of Milk (2-parts) and Water (3-parts) and sprayed plant top to bottom
- removed a few leaves with Mildew on them… pretty clean looking actually
- Soil amended
19th
- into the 7th week of Flower. 8 weeks is how long the Breeder says it should be, but we are targeting 9 weeks due to the size (come on)
- big rain early this morning; re-applying Milk (2-part)/ Water (3-part) combination to aid in fighting this mildew. We are ahead of the problem: Don't want to get lazy!
- they get visited today!
**- found that the big winds had nearly Tipped or pushed rOOF95 and CloudWalker over!!! ** both plants were almost at 45 degree angles.
- ground is cracked on east and west side of main stalks, so there was some back and forth action. Stakes were pounded into the ground and initial straps are attached to the plants. Tomorrow additional stakes will be secured…
- 5L of Milk/Water were sprayed on plants
*** Powdered Mildew is NOT progressing. Pre-spray, I did a walk-around and I pulled ONLY 4 leaves off (destroyed). Then I covered the trees with a fine spray (pic #11)
20th
- additional posts put in the ground. Plant tension goes all the way around. Should be stable. Should be…
- I used 2L of 2%Milk and 3L Water as the Mix and I covered the plant. “Re-apply as needed every 7-10 days…
- Big Rain was my Green-Lite to re-apply
- OVERDRIVE replacing Resin in the Nutrient aisle
25th
- last day week 7 of Flower for rOOF95. heading into the final week + a few extra days for sheer size. We’ll see how it goes
- milk mix being re-applied today; 2-parts milk 3 parts water. Plants are defoliated of Powdery Mildew signs (you can see the leaves on the ground) and them sprayed with Milk mixture. PM is Not worse, seems to be holding things steady. Rain is probably washing-away milks goodness.
-will repeat application in a couple days
27th
- week 8 of Flower
- plants were defoliated as needed for the Powdery Mildew, yesterday
- plants were sprayed with Milk yesterday
- plants were fed yesterday
- additional anchor hammered in the ground. Plants are now solid 360
28th
- Microbe /Enzyme Tea being brewed for tomorrow.
29th
- plants were sprayed-down with Milk/Water once again (2-Part Milk/3-part Water)
- we are staying ahead of the Powdery Mildew !!!
- Plants were fed
- and the Bamboo Trellis we put inside the plant is also providing a major ledge for some of the branches to Rest-on… shits getting heavy and big
Oct 2
- last day of week 8 in Flower. From here on in everything is a bonus with rOOF95. Flushing all week b4 rains Thursday!
- 2 more weeks needed for Cloudwalker… tba
Oct 3 2022
- plants look spectacular
- fed this morning, ultra meal from Green Planet. Bare bones Bloom assault lol, partial drink for ROOF95 as its stay is extended. CloudWalker is hugely Fine! It has Globules of Trichomes, we laughed when looking through the loupe.
- milk application tomorrow morning. Samples to be snipped for the microscope thingy… trichomes were still largely clear. Gonna look at fresh pixels tomorrow
- oh Yeah, start of week 9
4th
- sprayed Milk on the Ladies at a ratio of 2-parts milk to 3-parts water. IT IS CONTROLLING WHITE POWDERY MILDEW here in southern Ontario. (Lots of people around me are loosing plants, nobody stripped Fan Leaves; nobody else applied Milk) lotsa watchers
5th
- meals for Panama Red and Honduras x Panama
6th
- blue-room up and running, ready for some plants to come hang-out: Air Conditioner at 17c, Humidifier set at 55% RH, InkBird controller has deHumidifier set at 60%, above that starts the Exhaust fan. Humidity probe hanging in middle of tent
7th
- on this day the rOOF95 succumbed to Social pressure and a tight weather schedule. I chopped her head off in the Rain. And she weighed just over 50Lbs (50lb 2oz)
- and she fit in my Car. All of it lmao
- CloudWalker now has a clear view South and will truly benefit from a big blast of additional sunlight, with rOOF95 gone.
- big meal on Sunday and then its Water Water Water as far as we can get her
- cloudwalker is also in excess of 11 feet, so I’m hoping for some turn-over in the blue room… (lsd, black tuna, bahia black head should all be gone when she comes down)
9th
- last day of week 9
The Blue-Room has been resurrected in the basement and its just amazing that on day 1 its almost stuffed with this single plant.
Its mind-blowing to have harvested a plant that presented over 50#’s of hanging branches n Buds. Certainly a personal record lol.
50pounds 2 ounces wet weight
The added fact that I got the Whole Plant stuffed into my Subaru, was equally Hilarious let me tell you !!!
Having never grown a big plant, I took the main cola in a 6 foot piece, which actually folded-up nicely, upside down. Seeing that made another 3’ section seem viable. The amount of branches leaving a 4 foot section of that trunk made for a huge task, as I had to severe the trellis netting that we had Fed the Plant earlier this summer. Followed the bottom edge of the lowest branches and Pop off came another big managable piece.
At this point, the Tripod system we had employed, had command of the main stalk. And I just cut feasible branches from that point on. Armfuls of them!
- CloudWalker could be bigger
Oct 10th
- into week #10 we go with this giant CloudWalker. Last week by the books, maybe some extra time needed just for the Scale of this Beast. Shooting for 2 weeks time. Weather will dictate
- rOOF95 was harvested and hung on the 7th, last week. All good with her moisture loss, hanging room is steady
12th
- CloudWalker gets fed today; 4gal as above, final Nutrition
- full inspection, harvest planning and rain is forecast.
- plant was defoliated of any leaves showing Mildew and then just ahead of the predicted rains we washed the plants leaves with a hose.
13th
- full application of Milk /Water treatment again. The leaves looked great before the application. This 2-part milk / 3-part water treatment has kept an aggressive white powdery mildew at bay no problem, on a big Plant(s), with 2 bushes entwined…
- alls good. There is an incredible weight on the top of this bush, and we sprayed it down ahead of the rains, once again to keep-up the Mildew “resistance” that has been successful. We may have to harvest anytime soon via broken branches. Our internal Bamboo cage is truly saving our Bacon!
- she’s a beauty, cameras remain live w/ motion alarms ohmmmm
- OFFICIALLY, I’ve made my last batch of Nutes for this Summers growing needs; whew
- she gets water and rain only. 17th is the target, unless…
14th
- day 8 in the tent and some of the upper Roof95 branches have snapped. No arguing we are trimming these Branches as they come available. Conditions had been great all week with a drop in RH yesterday morning, we will be using Moisture packs in each Jar as well. We start counting the weight of rOOF95 as we start trimming. It will be in batches, and as needed.
- works out insanely well, because it will help make room for CloudWalker Monday!
Oct 15th
- today is the day; CloudWalker gets harvested today at Noon
- rained overnight, raining now, hoping to do a photo shoot ahead of the Chop. There is a centrefold on this Bush I can promise that! Talk soon
OCT 30TH
I have added some alaskan purple images to this diary for the sake of getting them seen by the sponsor/contest people. The images belong in the 8+strains Lambton County diary. But the contest is not recognizing the entry, it has a smiley face and the content qualifies for the stated reasons. And the seed was a Seedsman purchase, history is available... Thanks and sorry to bend the lines...
here is the direct link to the qualified DIARY... https://growdiaries.com/diaries/138542-grow-journal-by-1right-angle/week/852368

CloudWalker has already proven to be a significant strain, as she has continually stepped-up her game.
Yielding a bit more with the Wet harvest than anticipated, its the final numbers that say the most.
She has been a spectacular grow and is a strain I shall pursue again.
30.4 lbs of what can only be described as Golf Ball BUDS.
Could not break it down as easily as the rOOF95 was to corral. These branches were too much like a “network” and could not be cut into larger pieces. … Which would have been too big for the room anyway.
Smaller branches are being bundled with similar sized branches for hanging-convenience. Its a Bulk Op.
Oct 27
- tomorrow is 14 days hanging without incident…
Oct 31
- CloudWalker gets Trimmed tomorrow; Nov 1
Nov 9
*** i’ve talked about this location and its Huge yields and proximity to the Lake/Beach. I will post the link below, but here is a free test to see what portion of your Soil is sand, silt and clay…
First part takes a minute, 2nd is a couple of hours, and the final component comes out 5 days later !

Loamy Sandy was the rating that resulted for the Soil involved with these plants. Its a fine line with so much sand, and so little Clay. But it is the Loamy portion that provides the Organic materials and space to sustain life and hold Nutrients
