- all plants get a visit this week
Updates start tonight.
22nd, prepping to make a tea for Fridays visit to PurpsBerry etc. Shaping the plants backwards, towards the Hillside will be the goal. Clean the hillside a minimal amount, not wanting to lose the wonderful camouflage it provides. We are looking to pull the plants tops northward almost to the ground, forcing the side-Branches into becoming Cola’s. Do it with 2nd opinions… making a Bush, thats the goal. It’ll Help achieve a lb per plant
Wondering why this Single plant (congo #3 x bangi haze) is Slumping, while 36 brothers n sisters are Upright.
Watered twice; ~ 300 ml ea time, 3 days apart.
This picture is from this a.m., day 2 since last water
Too much / Too little ?
I’m stuck in the middle
Way to much water, She only needs around 20ml every other day. At that stage you dont want to saturate the whole pot. Only get a circle around the plant wet. This allows oxygen to get to the roots.
Take a pen and make some holes along the edge of the pot to allow air to flow in and help dry the soil out. You want to let the soil dry to around 1" below the surface before watering again.
See this diary to get an idea of how much water is required.

The Panama Red is looking interesting. And you never know with traded seeds. But I'm starting to get optimistic. I love that Russian Name and the plant is interesting looking also.
Such a beautiful clean setup! How do you find that bar-style light? I have seen that brand online before. Now that viparspectra is on hold for promotional contracts for the time being I am looking around at other lights. Keep up the great work I cannot wait to see these little ladies start their lifes!
I grew out in the woods for years and lost my share of plants. Not much worse in life than topping a hill exited about the plant that was almost ready last time you saw it and all you find is a handful of small buds and some sticks. Whether from a two or four legged animal it sucked all the same....
Good luck on your adventure
@Cyrusdavirus, that suck ! Gorilla is so much work I couldn’t do it , too hot , too many ticks (gun to head) I’m just gonna keep it within the vicinity
@Cyrusdavirus, o I can feel that already. Thanks CdV for the motivation to keep changing things-up.
Excitement comes from all directions with this activity
@1Right_Angle, I would let her go right until the end of the season. Once they are completely swollen and ripe. Let them really maximize their potential
@LegacyMarketFarm, who knows when purps is going to be ripe. Jewellers loupe makes the trip next time, and some macro gear. Week 7 is confirmed, so I won’t be shy…
@1Right_Angle, as in here we dont have the best conditions, I would always let her go till 9, 10 weeks before harvesting.. I would usually cut between weeks 9 and 10.
@oregonian, to that end I have no answer for you. It still amazes me that there are strains as such that actually disappear. Good Luck in your search. It was an individual that helped me. Not a Seed Company
@oregonian, Greybeard.com has some Panama Red in an autoflower I bought some as a gift for a buddy of mine he started 2 of them in his closet and had to throw them out in his backyard because they outgrew the closet 😆 I don't smoke so I couldn't compare the smoke part but the plant looked like an ol school Panama Red 😉
@1Right_Angle,.. Yea that sound good tho. Ac an humidifier is all u need plus a fan. So yup u good. Im getting outer bands of hurricane ian now as we speak ... Now thru wed night rain an wind none stop.
@JamMAKEcan, i too am improvising at each step. My tent is the hanging chamber right now. No heat no light, but there is an A/C and Dehumid are on control with one tiny fan on the floor.
As soon as the rest of the plants get busy, I’ll be putting a plastic wall-up in the basement for a few weeks… same deal, let it hang. Set a
Few targets
@LegacyMarketFarm,
Well my brother
That is THE original TRIED-AN-PROVEN way 😃#1..and u can never beat that with a 10ft pole😂😅.. Thats where H E L P comes in lol
@LegacyMarketFarm,.. Wow my man thats a lot of buds ti trim by hand have u looked into a trim bin. .. Put buds in untrimmed rotate drum and trim/keef/buds all separated 🤔😁😁
@1Right_Angle, thought we wouldnt need that in soil as the mycos are already in there... but you never know, right? i looked up and it seems awesome! I use myco ate the beginning too, always good!
your gardens are a dream! congrats!
At this point it's a perfect Diary except those that don't know it's here. The indexing of the site goes by individual strain and by experience from using the Growdiaries site I would not click on multiple strain pages because it's more work to find the strain of interest. Possibly a couple singles of choice with individual diaries so people can find your amazing diary. You are really telling the story😁
@SativaKid, I am also agreeing with that statement! these diaries need more eyes on them. I will be giving you a shout out in my first episode of the tutorial series when I germinate to make sure to get as many eyes on these as possible. Truly great work being done here & extremely detailed amazing diary of it all.
Phenomenal Doug! But I'm just not sure which strain is screaming at me? The Russian Tzar Bomba is my what the heck is that type nice, the Panama looks good and the Doug Ford has longer internodes than I expected. The ATF is exactly what I expected to see after all these years. And the Super Diesel is rocking for you!
@SativaKid, Oh man, what a great day to talk strains, cuz that tent is bulging lol
NukeHeads is behind the Russian Tzar Bomba, and it is really starting to push outwards now. Its description sold me right away.
And there's a black willie in progress thats not getting any attention, but taking this one outside, well, its gonna get bigger lol
PurpsBerry, from the 3Strainger diary, has also burst upward in height, i’m checking it first chance to make sure SHE is just Tall, and not gender confused.
Huge bonus is that I have a panama red female, a big one !!
