This is going to be a scattered Summer, as I have had enough with plants being stolen from my property 2 years running. So I am sharing Pheno's this summer with Friends and Family, throughout this local area... My seed-gathering hit a spectacular spell this winter, and there are simply not enough years left to grow all of the Treasures I have acquired. And there are some juicy specimens.
For the purposes of maximizing a single diary, I am going to check in with and keep a loose running diary on these 8 selected Phenotypes.
They are all going to be following a set routine, unlike any previous grows. Pre-loading the soil in the outdoors location will be the Norm, it’s something I have never done. Using specific Soil Amendments and Mulch applications will be new ground for me, as these are all proven and successful steps to take, in producing Nutrient rich Soil and a fully developed plant at harvest.
People: I love talking with people here on G.D., such as those right here and many more; DeFharo, LegacyMarketFarm, Roberts, DissNoof, HighRoller909, Ferenc etc. (I know I should have your name right here too lol ) Thanks everybody for the words & assistance in the past and I'm sure you will all hear me Squealing when/if the shit hits the fan.
I feel this is already on its way to be a wonderful experience this summer. Mostly this will be grown in the boonies, virgin ground on the edge of a certain Farmers Field, with the Farmers consent. And the path he has cleared for us...
Just put the 30+ seeds in water a couple days ago, all the seeds in Dirt within 48 hours of each other. We'll see which ones make it and which ones get replaced... awaiting sprouts to Pop through, I wanted to get this set-up and have it waiting. Sending out Best Wishes to all the Brothers n Sisters getting ready for a Big Summer.
- Mar 25th a.m., 21 of 40 have sprouted... by Noon there were 24/40 and the obvious ones with Open leaves... had their first Foliar mist at lights out. Kelp Meal is next to be added to the Foliar. Will wait for a bit more development & participants
Mar 26th,
Lots of activity overnite as Now, 35 of 40 seeds have broken through
Mar 27th
- Foliar Mist @ lites-out (a.m.) Foliar pH = 5.9
- transplanting healthy plants into 1 gal pots starting tonight as they are ready
- Soil in the 1 gallon Pots will be the existing mix with the agitated addition of Azomite, Kelp Meal, “2 oz of old dried-up weed” and some diluted RapidStart
- a week ago today, 33 seeds were put in water. Another 7 were added the next day… its a nice way to wrap up germination-week up. Still a few seeds in that crazy survival mode… alls good though
- finishing Germination week tonight by moving this gang into 1 gal pots.
- pre-soaked next soil ahead of Transplanting; 1 gal h2o pH 6.3 ~ 36 - 40gal soil
- DynoMyco introduced to Bulk Soil and mixed well. Each seedling will have it sprinkled on its roots and into it’s destination pot (1st time using it)
Mar 28th
- plants have been moved into 1 gal pots
- gently watered-in the plants to get them through the transplant
- DynoMyco was sprinkled into the 1 gallon pots ahead of the transfer, and the Solo Cups Root-Ball, was also sprinkled with Myco, making sure any exposed roots made good contact
Mar 29th
- a watering program begins tonight, Its posted above, next on 31st (day 3)
- p.m. feeding saw 400 ml h20 per plant. (First Official feeding and there is no containment for any water leaving the pots… i held-back 100ml ea. just to see if the Pots leaked… all good for now x 30)
Mar 31
- day 3 of the watering cycle; 350ml tonight (posted above)
- petals are big enough on the true leaves; foliar spray @ lites-out
- measured Soil pH, found it to be 7.1; Future waterings will be ~ 6.2-6.3 to help bring the soil pH a little lower towards mid 6’s
Apr 4
- watering tonight ~ 250ml ea
- topped-up the Soil in each Pot. Maximizing the Root Zone this whole grow
April 5th
- First day of the 2nd week above ground. Plants were watered early yesterday, and some dilute nutes were included. Rapid start & MediOne.
- “no Foliar Mist this morning due to the breakfast meal”
- 2nd and 3rd Nodes are being built as we speak
Apr 6
- a.m. foliar mist for the tent
- waiting a day to feed as the soil feels damp. Let it dry further
Apr 7th
- attempting to Re-Pot the Congo #3 x Bangi Haze this morning as the soil seems to be a solid plug. Air Holes around the perimeter over-nite, was a great suggestion, Thanx Growmie; but new Soil is where this is going. (ps there is another congo 3 seed in water just in case): done, video uploaded of the transfer
- a little leaf discolouration led to a bit of Cal/Mag being added to a small drink for the plants. 60-80ml per plant. Overall plant moisture is dropping.
April 10
- each plant looks much stronger and the crowns are solid green. Over-watering incident is drying out nicely. 100mls per plant was added this morning. CalMag & RapidStart are the only ingredients.
- fresh Congo #3 x Bangi Haze seed germinated and placed in Soil this morning ( insurance for the one that is struggling )
- Tues pm or Wed am, I am going to run a volume of 5.9/6.0 pH water through the pots, to get rid of this 7+ pH.
- foliar mist applied at lites-out. that is also on hold now till soil-flush.
That's the plan anyway cheers
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.
growdiaries.com/diaries/135963-grow-journal-by-chow-13/week/733413
April 12th,
- steady progress in drying the substrate
- working towards a mini-flush tonight, in order the bring the pH of the Soil down. Its pH has been steady just above 7, rinsing with 6
- true leaf looks like shit on most of the plants. Probably partly due to foliar misting i’ve done and the dark liquid. Yellow-mottled. Anxious to get the soil pH-thing balanced and to get some nutes involved
- sneak peak on a couple of pots and the roots are out the bottoms. Not real busy, but they are there! (when the pots are wet I will take a few pics)
13th
- becoming more of an official Flush ie: Ea plant taking 4-5L to drop the run-off pH
- newbie seeds will also be flushed tomorrow. Same substrate…
- big fan keeping RH in motion.
Lights out for a few hours after a long nite.
14th
- Finished flushing 11 plants, tent is done and the ladies flushed yesterday are looking Perky already. Back to normal 18/6 and some nute planning for 4 days from now lol
- a few are building their 5th nodes already
Apr 15
- foliar mist at lites-out
*** This is the first time I have ever used DynoMyco, and the results are insanely fantastic.
- 2 weeks in a 1 gallon pot that was treated with D’Myco and there's a Root System far larger than the plants in the Pots. Every one of them!
Even with a tough hi-pH scenario that has temporarily stalled the veg growth, this Root system had flourished !
Looks like a Transplant will be in order later this week (asap)
* this is not a paid promo people, its just that DynoMyco has worked Really Really well !!! Extensive roots, incredibly quickly*** even with a pH deviation involved.
Apr 16th,
- new Foliar spray is ready, applying shortly
- prepping the soil, 80+ Litres for the 1gal pot to 3Gal pot transition.
- Amending Pro-Mix HP with Gaia Green All Purpose Fert 4-4-4, Azomite, BioChar, Worm Castings, Perlite & 8oz of old, dry-Dope from 2019
April 18th
- the soil this morning was dry enough to allow a light-watering.
- root development in the 1 gal pots demands that there be a mass transplant to 3 gal pots, tonight.
-basic nute menu above ( foliar and liquid feed )
- “Blue Room” became a reality, as I Need some space for these plants, as they get moved into 3 gallon homes.
- pulled the 315 cmh out of hibernation; and along with the Phlizon 450 this 6.5’ x 6.5’ space is gonna be hoppin. Air will be blown in low at one corner and a patch in the ceiling in the opposite corner, had been left bare for exhaust. Heat and Humidity will be present, just not sure of the levels… tba ( holding 60% rh at 23c no problems )
- 17 transplanted / 19 to go
19th
- green is returning
- foliar mist at Lites out. Picture of Txerri Bilbo Haze posted after the foliar misting. You can see it has flattened out and covered the entire Leaf. With only a couple of drops visible. = zero surface tension, stomata get fed directly
-(cherry) Bilbo Haze is 16cm tall
- soil is prepared, tomorrow evening will see the rest of the plants moved into 3 gallon pots
20th
- completed 18 transplant from 1 gal pots to 3 gal
- watered each new plant with 300ml to help set them.
21st
- foliar mist for breakfast
- original transplants (17) get watered with Root Stimulants tonight. Now that the plants have responded well to a close call, and are recovering. Newbies get it tomorrow. Posted above; root builder, rapid start, gph ; pH-6.3, ppm-154, EC-304
- FIMming a select few branches tonight. Height control and Clones-needed will be behind any topping or fimming. Its time
23rd
- saw me FIMming a few more of the obvious Colas. Pics posted
- foliar misting at lites-out
24th
- carried out the 2nd Root-based Wash and in 3 days theres Nutes
- taped 1 sheet of Mylar up, can’t see it Not contributing, so I’ll put another couple up. We are talking short distances indoors. Any shot a catching lite a 2nd time…
- end of the week tonight. The image of the Alaskan Purple, represents the recovery of the whole crop and its gradual shift from yellow near death to full vibrant green. It was amazing to co-ordinate an emerg flush and then apply some patience and see it work x 38. I’m pretty happy because these have become really busy plants the last 7 days
** Andrew and his Wife Sarah; from LegacyMarketFarm get a big shout out for helping me navigate a new approach to a higher level of nutrients needed and a very prepared growing style. Bloody amazing so far !!
April 25th
-begins the 5th week of Veg
- roots were given a final Stimulating application last nite. When the soil dries a bit, its Nutrient time
- plants are expanding outwards with upward reaching leaves. Panama Reds are the tallest so far; 25cm ea
- Foliar Misting at Lites-out
- some strains will be FIMmed as required; some with, some without (bilbo haze gets it big-time)
- Tea is Brewing for tomorrow (dumped)
26th
- soil is moist, dinner can wait
27th
- Foliar for Breakfast (fresh tea brewing)
- looking at a FIM-site image from yesterday, I may have created 3-stems from 1 of the Cola FIMmings. Posted the picture, looking again with lights-on
28th
- the soil was ready, so the kidz have been fed 450ml ea this morning.
29th
- GREAT way to start the day, “4th” branch/Bud-site emerging from the back-side of the FIM on Txerri Bilbo Haze
(picture uploaded)
- 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 1st,
- last day of the week
- the 3rd piece of Mylar had been put into place
- Tea brewing for tomorrow’s Thirsty campers
May 2nd 2022
- starting a booming week here with absolute solid growth happening
- foliar mist will take place at Lites-out
- 3rd mylar sheet is up, hard to say its having no impact.
- dinner tonight for all interested parties
- canopy has exploded, lights lifted a couple times < 24 hrs. They’re on the move !!
** ps I took a bunch of single-plant shots last nite. And i posted them at the end of “last weeks Diary” a week of absolute change and growth”Please check them out. ***
3rd
- 475ml breakfast for ea of the players. (4.5 hrs till lites-out)
- canopy is Lifting as One. Nice to see some uniformity as the collective canopy is a Foot+ above the Pots
4th
- panama red will be a great source for a few Clones.
(+ Pine Tar Kush + rOOF95 + DurbanPoison)
- manifold bush (txerri bilbo haze #3) was altered a bit this a.m. Front branch topped at 2nd node. Back branch at 1st node, so it snuggles up against the fence and 2 branches pulled out front…
- when moving the Plants around yesterday, I noticed some droplets 💧 of water had collected in the corner, opposite the Fan… Now there is an additional 8” fan, hanging from the ceiling, gently blowing into That Corner… high humidity is desired, no water collection needed. No Hurricane-season for the plants, but now there are some suggestive motions
Bonus: the added airflow keeps the reflective surfaces in Motion. Removing “most” HotSpot fears… fyi
6th
- Panama Reds are 45cm tall this morning
- the (critical purple) was too close to a section of Mylar, that was securely taped into place. This section acted as a Mirror and was not moving in the breeze. This mirror Cooked the one Mutant Leaf on the plant. After a nite away from the Wall/Mylar, she looks real good again. No N2 toxicity, she was almost flushed for those similar symptoms; mylar was taut and Mirror-like. Not good
* as of the 8th this plant is now fully recovered: Heat Stress was the reason.
- soil moisture level this evening will dictate whether they are Watered tonight or tomorrow
- took a needed step just before lights-out; removed 2 shade-making fan leaves from Most of the plants. Some Fan leaves were casting big shadows in a tight tent; gone
- Foliar Misted the tent at Lites-out (every other day this week)
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.
8th
- defoliated another set of Fan Leaves
- foliar misting at Lites-out
May 9th
- began today replacing the CMH lite that kicked-off during the night (new bulb is done!) MARS HYDRO to the rescue with a TS-1000 hanging above the kids now. Fine-tuning as we speak
- began mixing a Tea for tonight/tomorrow’s dinner
- LST to begin with a few of the plants this evening
- Defoliated some of the large fan-leaf pairs and now the plant structures can be fortified and shaped
- grabbed 6 clones from the Panama Reds and 2 each from Fighting Buddha and Pine Tar Kush !!! Into the LED Dome
(And i’m out of cubes… profanity)
- some branches get tied down tonight; let the games begin
10th,
- Nutrients fed for breakfast
- how to say this: things are so steady with daily progression
- raised lights again to maintain 2c difference between Room temp / Top-Leaf temp. My Phlizon 4500 is almost topped out in the room, and its running at 50% power. This last blast of growth and transition within the plants, tells me this set-up is going to last Just long enough !!!
Just big enough
- 2 more weeks come on!
- a few more clones taken last-nite; cloudwalker / black tuna / lsd / alaskan purple etc etc PurpsBerry will be last clone taken
- no foliar misting on Food mornings like today; every other day is still the target here in mid-Veg
11th,
- while rummaging through the crop early today, I found what is certainly a Male Panama Red plant. Action taken and trying to secure that new home. Picture 11, 12, 13
- Panama Red #2 removed
- Foliar Misted the Tent at lites-out
- clones treated to a Foliar Misting. Feeding them through their already developed Stomata on the leaves; when they have no roots to uptake nutrients yet. “Thanks Andrew at LegacyMarketFarm for that detail”
May 14
- the one plant i took real pride in FIMming successfully, has also raised the Kilt and declared his Gonads; dammit.
So, he’s gone lol. 2 males out of 38 plants… (txerri bilbo haze, the very first of many seeds produced alongside killer bud to show Male)
- 2 LSD clones appear to be doing well
May 15th
- Foliar Misted after Lites-out
May 16th
- Foliar feeding on Odd days
- next meal is a Watering on Thursday ( still following Food-Food-Water cycle )
- late last week, it was confirmed that Bilbo Haze#1 was a Male. Nobody local wanted him… checked his Roots and tossed him out
- forgot to grab a Congo#3 update; will do tonight
- WoW, these strains are now in the 8th week. And Yes, I did a full tent sweep this morning; No Males !
- just looking at the Congo#3 x Bangi Haze and I’m amazed at how full its recovery had been, and how close I came to losing the whole crop. Straight ahead !
17th
- Foliar Misting at Lites-out
18th
- watered first thing this morning. Still at 500m ea.
2nd complete cycle; food-food-water. Volume up slightly next cycle, they will get a good soaking before going outdoors
19th
- Light height is at Max, will see how this next week or so holds out; Phlizon 4500W, power from 58 down to 55%
Room at 25c, Top Leaf avg at 23.5c, R.H. 75%
- going to try and reduce the RH% slightly (5-10%)
May 21
- plants fed for breakfast. Every one of them seemed “light”early… so thats a great sign, upped their meals from 500ml to 600ml ea.
it also helped that the moisture meter said “DRY” like really dry, (see LSD pic against black tent…)
- Shuffled the plants based on Height, and reduced the Light strength down to 50%. Last week indoors, here we go.
- some of the plants are leaving tonight, so I’ve taken the last Team Shot.
- 38 plants improv…What a buzz Friends 🐝
22nd
- last day, week 8 above ground
- foliar mist at Lites-out
- T.F. Pink Kush x Vanilla Frosting was growing almost vertical with every branch. LST was applied this morning; tying some branches outward and simply Coaxing others. A few more desperately need similar help. They’ll get done ✅
May 23rd
- start of week 9 above ground
- LSD planted outdoors today, along with Panama Red / Honduras x Panama and PurpsBerry. Fed a mixture of Root Boosters after the transplant.
- spectacular root formations after using DynoMyco throughout germination and the seedling stages. Sprinkled into the newest 🕳️ and on the Exposed root systems
24th
- Tea brewing for tonights dinner. 3 days since last feed…
2nd meal in food1-food2-water cycle, third-time around.
~ 650-700ml ea.
- Russian Tzar Bomba from Nukeheads, has some amazingly long side-branches. LST gets applied tonight, while we can.
25th
- Machupi’s Lady, pictured on the Porch, was fed a similar meal this morning… except it was a Litre. She gets dug into a nutrient-amended Burm later this week.
Rabbit Manure is one of the Star fertilizers heading into this grow. Please look it up !
No need to compost it, its ready to go. Each 15gal target hole I’ve added a gallon of bunny nuggets along with the rest of the amendments and dug it in. Every plant is getting it. 45lbs / $12 bg. I bought 2
27th
- fed first thing in the morning; 700ml ea
- Txerri Bilbo Haze #2 delivered to its Surrogates. See you in Oct lol. She’s the Diary cover photo ( #1 was a male; its gone, #3 is a shaped plant, it goes tomorrow )
May 30th
June 1st
- fed the water portion of the menu; silica / amino acid / calmag
- licking a couple wounds as the transition to outdoors has Not been seamless. And the outdoors can be a harsh one to just “move into”
-high winds and dry conditions, kind of crisped a few leaf-sets on the panama red, lsd, honduras panama.
They were watered and fed, anchored accordingly, but were simply rag-dolled for a few bright, windy and exposed introductory days.
2nd
- Congo#1 off to a good home; with black willie (high thc)and a fighting buddha.
- Machupi’s Lady is extra fine, and so will be PurpsBerry… very soon that is. That batch had the tough conditions of the bunch
- alaskan thunder fuck from Mattanuska Valley has hit the 1 metre mark above soil. It, and the private Super-Diesel strain are on Fire. Pics of those two tonight
- still misting the plants 15 minutes after lights out. Every 3 days now for the ones left
5th
- Russian Tzar Bomba and Congo #3 planted outside, along with Purple Dawn.
June 6th 2022
- Super Diesel and Alaskan Thunder Fuck find new homes today
- checking on LSD#1, PurpsBerry, Panama Red n Honduras Panama tonight…
** Communication proves once again to be a great tool. I actually went to the trouble to speak with the people at ProMix. I had old questions, new questions and a dire situation unfolding. The problem was solved and the Solution had “nothing” to do with Soil or Substrates.
What resulted was the development of an information corridor that was always open and available, with the Manufacturer. Totally awesome. And then I received a package in the mail yesterday, containing 7 gallons of the PROMIX future and some truly appreciated Science n Swing. Please, fellow growers, ask a well worded question to the right people, and all kinds of good things happen. Definitely did not set-out sniffin for bling.
Thanks PROMIX.
P.S. I love the idea of the packaging, being the actual 7 gallon, tapered, porous, “roll down the rim”, Grow Bag. Its Pretty Slick and I cannot wait to plant a Gem in it.
I’m a User lol ~ d
June 8th
- not really a part of this 8-strain effort, but she’s been here all along. The Colombian Gold has been a trooper, been FIMmed and I just can’t find that perfect home for her. Now she’s 11 weeks into Veg, prime for the outdoors, and I’ve Super-Cropped her, she’s staying here in the small 2’ tent w/ MarsHydro and I’m switching her to Flower in stages
9th
- LSD, Honduras Panama, PurpsBerry and Panama Red have recovered nicely from the rough first couple of weeks. They are currently camouflaged against an embankment which is a perfect disguise. Next visit I’m bringing a dark Tarp to lay on the hillside, so I can see the plants structure. Check-out the LSD plants stalk in the photo. It has become Lumber
June 13th
- feeding PurpsBerry, Honduras x Panama, LSD and Panama Red this afternoon. There will be pictures. Dinner posted above.
5 gal / 4 plants as needed. NOPE, SOIL IS TOO MOIST... holding off for a day, wait and see ! (And it rained all nite !)
- feeding Congo #3 x Bangi Haze and Russian Tzar Bomba tomorrow ( w/ Purple Dawn ) fingers-crossed
- this coming week will see the tops of these plants, pulled downward to the ground, creating a rounded Bush. Kind of aiming the plants Northward angling past 45 degrees, it will invite the side-branches to become Colas. Thats the Plan for these 4 now that they are starting to thrive in the conditions
June 14
- fed Congo #3 x Bangi Haze and Russian Tzar Bomba 1.5 gal/ea (Purple Dawn as well) ahead of the coming heat wave this week.
- removed most of the key Fan Leaves
June 20th
- 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
June 27th
- field checks for sure as the week progresses. Making sure outdoor plants get amended with updated feedings and Mtce. ~ 6 more weeks of Veg, thats all !!!
- Southern Ontario gets just 14hrs of day-lite on Aug 13th. That is the first day of Flower for me.
28th
- visited Congo #3 x Bangi Haze, Purple Dawn and Russian Tzar Bomba
- top-dressed each 15 gal fabric pot
- re-applied support bamboo and isolated stalk
- great to see Lady Bugs on the plants. We could find no other insects or bite marks. LadyBugs are welcome anytime
July 1/2
- cleaned the weeds around the plant bases / hillside of the LSD and Panama Red plants ( + purpsberry and Honduras x Panama)
- noticed the wind had Split the FIM-site on the Panama Red. Being so fresh, duct-tape leaves no fear that the repaired-joint is exposed.
“Are Toppings safer than FIMS, when exposed to outdoor Wind stresses ?” Maybe that little nuggett on top truly holds the joint together. The split on the Fim was about to go right down the plant.
- soils amended towards 15gal pots, with fresh Fertilizer, compost, azomite, kelp meal
- each plant given a gallon of nutrients on the first, ahead of a possible storm. No storm, plants fed 1.25 gallons of root boost ea., through Soil Amendment… today, the 2nd
- next couple of waterings are Reduced strength but full spectrum Nutrients.
- Panama Red is as wide as it is tall. With wispy branches that are full of tiny delicate leaves. I threw a quik video into the photos. Better effort next time.
There is a Real lacey kind of branch network on this strain
- LSD is a hardy stocky plant. Supernhealthy
July 4th
- solid progress for all Plants
- hard to believe it was 4 months ago that I started putting Seeds in Water
July 5th
- nice visit with original Congo#3 x Bangi Haze, she is growing amazingly well. (So are durban poison, fighting buddha and black willie
8th
- plants fed a chunky Microbe (grow) / Enzyme based meal.
- Minor defoliation of shadow makers. Trying not to remove leaves without reason as a Schwazze is planned for Aug 13th, First day of Flower
- Txerri Bilbo Haze #3 is on the radar for tomorrow. The trained version for a Low and Wide application
(bilbo #3 continues as a female; 1 and 2 were males)
- tomorrow I’m also visiting / feeding Congo #3 x Bangi Haze (+russian tzar bomba and Purple Dawn from nukeheads!)
9th
- delivered another Solid meal to this trio. 5 gals of Grow Microbe and Enzyme based mix, and full spectrum of Nutes, Molasses etc
- installed another set of Bamboo poles for Support against the Winds. Tripod style with a sliding collar just below the main cola
10th
- last day of week 15 Veg
July 11th 2022
- almost 4 weeks to Flower (here in Lambton County our daily dose of sunshine drops to 14hrs on Aug 13th. Let there be Schwazze)
- the 3rd Txerri Bilbo Haze seed, has turned out to be a Male as well. Something has tainted my Grow last summer, pollinating Ms Haze late in the program. Her Buds were amazing, Now the seeds she has produced are all flavoured as Males.
- installed some Bamboo supports for the Purple Dawn and Congo #3. Its the 2nd Second tripod, fitted into the branches. Seems a solid set-up for the High Winds found in Chatham-Kent
- discovered that a beautifully growing and Trained Txerri Bilbo Haze is a Male, and that makes 3/3 for this season (damn). It seems that the TB Haze was pollinated late last grow season. It still produced an Lb of Bud, and a good handful o Seed.
That makes 4/4 males in the last efforts, the rest going in the garbage. Talking to Genehtiks or Seedsman and definitely ordering more.
I’ll be contacting my fellow traders… time to fess-up (just burnt the last nuggett as well; dang)
14th
- soil was still a bit moist after the rains. Dinner is made and ready; nutes 2, posted above but with Grow Microbes… lsd, Honduras x Panama, Panama Red.
** plant that was in flower, was dry. 3 plants in Veg… were extra Moist = plants in flower are more thirsty than plants in Veg
Aug 8th ** working backwards, this is Officially when we are calling it week 1 of Flower, for both Machupi’s Lady and PurpsBerry
July 18
- entering the final 3 weeks of Veg for these soon to be Monsters
- feeding and fertilizing plans have worked really well to this point in time. Not one crispy tip on a leaf, thats just amazing with so many plants. (One autoflower had a meltdown, pH related / doa)
- Machupi’s Lady gets a visit today. Once it left my hands, there happened to be a Name Tag incident with 5 plants. And its not the first time X (my buddy) has been involved.
* Thankfully this one Private Strain has developed SOOO much differently than the other 4 identical plants, its a no-brainer now as to where Machupi’s Lady is… pictures to follow. Its a day of discovery. Leda Uno x T.N.R. (Both from kc brains and the first time seeds from this pair have been grown)
- for the first time I’ve posted both congo plants, you can see how the windy environment has stripped the plant, of any smaller internal leaves. The Protected Congo is building a really dense ball of foliage.
20th
- TLC has been applied to some of the plants, ahead of a big storm coming our way. Bamboo tripods affixed woven through a side-branch, joined to two others. Bamboo is 6’ and is stuck/hammered 5” into the ground easily, securely. Lets the main stalk move kinda-sorta, but its always being anchored in at least one direction.
- with Bilbo Haze out of the picture (4/4 male plants arghhh, gurgling slow-death sound) I have invited a Honduras x Panama sativa, from good ole Ace seeds to join us. Shes been there all along, same birthday etc. I’ve never tasted it, truly taking my collection for a walk this Summer
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
July 25th
- visiting plants today; Grow Microbe, Tea for 3
26
- black tuna, honduras x panama, LsD and panama red were all fed something to do with Vegging, still. Posted above…
- Flower is getting close
27th
- visited Russian Tzar Bomba and Congo #3 x Bangi Haze (#2, the smaller version). Plants (+ purple dawn) were fed and then a big rainstorm rolled-in. No pics, cuz it was pouring, but there were a bunch of crunchy dead and dried leaves removed… plants are getting ready for Flower
Aug 1st
- visiting plants tomorrow, 2nd. Feeding Wed/Thurs
- Russian Tzar Bomba was fed yesterday and has been found in Full Flower. We’ll call this week 2 for her. ( week 1 for Purple Dawn as well )
- Congo #3 x Bangi Haze is holding the course in the white fabric pot
Aug 7th
- visited a few remote plants today. Quite a few will be moved into Flower this week, its time
- Russian Tzar Bomba will be moved into week 3 Flower. It was definitely transitioning last week, but this weeks development puts it a little further in…
- younger/smaller Congo #3 is definitely healthy and in Flower. Officially day 1 tomorrow.
- these 2 (+ purple dawn) plants were fed Bloom Microbe tea, then Flower Amended Soil was used to top-up the Pot. We're good for 3 weeks regardless, microbe teas to be applied as part of the routine
- performed a day 1 of Flower schwazze on all 3 plants: removed ~ 70% Fan Leaves
- focus is now on keeping it moist…
- LAST DAY OF VEG
August 8th
- Officially into Flower today, all the strains are now impacted. Soil Amendments in place, let the Rain do the hard work…
- Machupi’s Lady has a pic posted, she’s week 5 in Flower I believe, and beautiful
-more pictures coming shortly. I’ve got them, gotta process them
- all plant listed are currently being moved to Flower. Or they are already there lol
10th
- soil amending features worm castings, kelp meal, bat guano, azomite, Bloom Booster (gaia green), black earth (40% of worm casting volume) dolomitic lime, bone meal and perlite. Good for a Month
- They are each getting treated today
- Bamboo to increase plant exposure and a mesh Trellis where needed, to help bring another safety plan into play. Support and managing hiWinds led to a good wrapping on the Panama Red plant, a big Opening-up of the Honduran Panama. Honduran Panama had grown a foot in the last week. And spreading her branches made a huge difference in exposure and the simple ease of removing Fans…
12th
- last of the plants had been Soil-Amended; Machupi’s Lady and Co. (= rOOF95, CloudWalker, Alaskan Purple)
Sprinkler ran for 10 minutes just to tease the Kids…

Aug 15th
- 2nd week of flower for the bulk of these strains
- kids get a visit tomorrow
- meal (tea) posted above is for PurpsBerry. Entering week 6 of Flower. All the others getting a Microbe Tea as well. (Less intense)
- last week we chopped a Male Alaskan Purple plant from within the group of 4. We just emptied the 28gallon pot and witnessed the beautiful root-ball that had been produced. We give this huge Kudos to DynoMyco, for providing a Full planter of Roots. This product gets used each time from here on in. Ridiculous (as in spectacular) growth across all of the plants I’m involved with this Season (38)
16th
- Machupi's Lady fed 1.25 gal of mid-late bloom tea (roof95 and cloudwalker fed as well, not as aggressively)
17th
- the rains held-off and these plants got fed. Panama Red, Honduras x Panama and LSD
- LSD had 40 minutes of steady Defoliation, and she might be able to breathe now, wow she was “packed”
- LSD has significant Bud development, enough to say its in week 3 of Flower
20th
- got to check on some personal interests lol; like Pine Tar Kush: Fighting Buddha : CloudWalker 2. Alls good after 2 hours of defoliating old crispy Fan
Leaves. (Pine Tar Kush is on track, other two will be lazy; theres reasons. Alls good, bamboo in the pictures is 6’ tall. These three are beauties.
-not listed in the diary, but these 3 strains are with friends who have shared so much over the years. *Sandy soil once again is producing Big Plants !!

- rain or shine, Machupi’s Lady gets a Haircut today. Defoliation is Needed
24th
- after yesterdays defoliation of Machupi’s Lady, today the plants there were fed a mixture of Stress-reducing liquids; B-Vital
- I defoliated PurpsBerry, Honduras x Panama and LSD nicely today, nothing really to remove from Panama Red. Other than just standing there in awe … lolo seriously. Each meter-long branch is filling with white hairs.
- Panama Red is a long flowering strain and southern Ontario is not always weather-friendly in early - mid November! Let alone October, regardless its going to be a ridiculously fine and complex plant. Going to get it as far along as possible. Already talking about weather barricades for the cold winds in late Fall
- black tuna x 2 (9 weeks of flower)
-LSD (9-10 weeks of flower)
-honduras x panama (12-13 weeks of flower)
-LSD (9-10 weeks)
-Panama Red (Damn, 11-14 weeks flower)

- sending a bug photo (above) to the question people
- Plants fed nutrients as above; PurpsBerry fed OVERDRIVE instead of Rezin
Sept 4th
- last day of week 4 flower for most of the Plants. Except for Machupi’s Lady, LSD, Russian Tzar Bomba they are a few weeks ahead of schedule.
- machupi gets inspected this aft, it might be time…
- amending the soil of these remaining plants today
- both Congo #3 x Bangi Haze and the Russian Tzar Bomba get a visit tomorrow. Some DeFol, some Food, (they were soil amended earlier this week)

- Russian Tzar Bomba is down to the final few… She gets spoiled tomo !!!
Sept 5th
- Machupi’s Lady will be harvested later this week; week 9. Her buds are full, swollen and she had been watered aggressively most of this week. Scope pics taken, showed alot of Amber, but these are ready. Protected overnite now, and getting sun for a few more days. (Pushing for the weekend)
- LSD is so healthy, starting week 6 of Flower.
- Russian Tzar Bomba starts week 7. Seeing her in a couple of hours. ** russian tzar bomba is dropping bombs onto the small frame of this plant. She is growing huge Buds from all angles… smaller than anticipated, its going to be a great Plant to harvest. After we push it for another 2/3 weeks
Sept 8th
- Machupi’s Lady has been Harvested. She was flushed all week and did not put up a fuss.
- we had found a couple of small soft spots in a few of the Buds. Gave the plant a good going over while it hung in the garage shortly. Worked fast, it was too humid in there. Now she’s chillin in an a/c driven tent.
- Harvest time people; PurpsBerry will be next, then Russian Tzar Bomba, then LSD. Thats it for the fast-bloomer photo-periods
- Blue-room (plastic / temporary) will be needed for the next Wave of plants

Week 24. Harvest
2 years ago
Happy Harvest Day!
MACHUPI’s LADY LedaUno x TNR - Custom Breeder & Strain
Sept 8th
- This is one of our first plants to jump into Flower this season. NOT an Autoflower, but certainly a plant with experience when it decided to Bloom. She is in an A/C controlled room with a target temp[ of your 63F and 57% R.H. These conditions are meant to be in place for at least 14 days. That is the targeted hanging period.
Still giggling about the plant weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces... Baby. Just may produce ~ 20 ounces… (1 1/4 lbs drybud) fingers crossed
21st
- all 4 branches of Machupi that I just tried, have snapped. Grower and I had a good look and a giggle and decided to let it hang another ~ 4 days due to the big Cola and side-buds that were produced. Dropped tent venting and even increased humidity to 55%. Gonna let her ride and make sure all the %RH is the same throughout the buds
- chop chop on the 25th starts the day
- this bud is all about the tunes is fair statement right now
- its smooth, no diesel, no fruit. Earthy and Funky for sure. Gidyyup lol Definitely a bright positive “buzz”. Its for real
- you can see that the colour of the Machupi has Faded from 2 weeks ago. As LEGACYMARKETFARM mentioned, its the loss of Chlorophyl that we are seeing. And thats all good news
Sept 12
- into week 6 of Flower for most of the strains, like Congo #3, Ford pink kush etc
- LSD is heading into week 7 of Flower, with a prediction of 9 weeks needed. Getting close...
- Russian Tzar Bomba is now in week 8. Big dinner Tomorrow, how do you say, The Last Meal w/ nutes. Flush follows

13th
- russian tzar bomba is in great shape. Here at the start of her Last week in Flower; week 8 as per Nukeheads, she been fed and will be flushed for the next week. Clipped a small bud mid-plant and will scope it this aft. Def Amber, Def Cloud, still clear ones all over. Bloody gorgeous
- her trichomes show a lot of Amber presence and right now its about flushing her. She is ready. Let her dry a bit and flush Thursday and follow-up accordingly. Sunday maybe = CHOP. These buds are real firm and becoming irregular
- picture 13 is from one of the higher concentration spots where amber was found... nice to see, I'm ready at this end
14th
- 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. Volumes are directed at a 15-20 gal pot for the Soil Amendments
- Microbe / Enzyme Tea scheduled for Saturday. Hope to get a bit o rain in between
- turns out the Congo #3 has really gobbled up alot of moisture and she is recovering well from an overwatering
15th
- honduras x Panama, Panama Red, LSD and Black Tunas each had their Soil Amended, after they were fed.
- Panama Red is pushing red/pink hairs all over the entire plant. So beautiful to have 2 pink pistil covered plants, right beside each other. Decadent
- LSD is consuming Overdrive instead of Rezin, and has been for a couple meals. One more on the 17th then thats it.
16th
- its been decided to go and photograph these plants early tomorrow morning. Tirednof the high-noon stuff. Soft light and some Canna-porn ooh aah

- Bamboo trellis system that we developed earlier this summer is once again proving effective as it supplies a ledge for some of the heavier, Up-in-the-plant buds as they start start to Hang straight out sideways. You can see Panama Red and rOOF95 plant profiles, have dropped a couple feet as the big number of buds fill-up
Oct 2nd
- Russian Tzar Bomba had been hanging in a wonderful environment (61F at 55-60% RH) for 14 days now. For a smallish plant I’m amazed and so happy it took this long for 3 branches to snap. Numbers n pics will be posted on the Tzar’s page
Its a true celebration Folks because this is the strongest, stinkiest most fun batch of weed that I’ve ever grown… amazed at 5.6+ Oz of trim dry buds from a super-easy plant to grow!!
- last day of week 8 in Flower for the rest of the Ladies
Sept 26th
9 pounds of wet LSD are on the scales…
So happy that the weather allowed this grow to run the full cycle and at least get i to the 9th week. Its lumpy and bursting Colas that brought this grow to an end, that and 3 days of Rain that have just started. (muffled Wahoo)
Chopped and weighed Before I could even take any final pictures, I could not believe that. Rain was starting to pelt…
Hanging in the garage for a quick inspection for any Rot or things, then she is in to the Tent at 62F and 57%RH

6th
*** its a great story, and I’ll keep it short here.
- LEGACYMARKETFARM gave me an opportunity earlier this year, and I want to give a shout out to them so people can see the High-Level that they are working-on. Andrew bought some seeds at auction that were created and bred by a Famous and Notorious grower; Charles Scott. aka the original Reeferman.
Andrew provided me with a wonderful palette of seeds to work with, as I adopted many of his growing targets and patterns into my own efforts this year. One of the Seeds I could only shake my head at; “TOM FORD Pink Kush x Vanilla Frosting” wtf is this was probably really close to a direct quote.
There was Nothing online beyond Pink Kush… and One of the seeds was Germinated.
Here we are 6 month’s later, I’m planning a harvest, and looking up tentative flowering times, and Lo and behold, the exact Seed I am growing, is now on-sale from Reefermans former employer: Old School Breeders Association. The exact Strain… Kinda freaks me out that I’m at the head of the Line, but there was lots of useful info on the site, and she stays outside for another week or two now thats for sure…
Please help me celebrate this great discovery of info, and give Old School Breeders a Look, they have some amazing Genetics at work there.
I’ve reviewed their Black Willie, thats why there is a second one growing outside right now!
Cheers people, super happy with tid-bits of info
- And a huge Thanks to Sarah and Andrew from LegacyMarketFarm for truly being Larger than Life, and for all the time you two spend really helping other Growers through day to day stuff !

Oct 7th
- harvested Alaskan Purple, it was time and she is beautiful.
Rain persisted and was forecast so it shot my final photo-shoot in the foot. And I chopped her down; 16 lbs 8 oz whoa that was a surprising number. Weighed her 3x, alls good
9th
- end of week 9 in Flower
October 7 2022
Such a Beauty and I’m still amazed she slid right into the hatchback and off we went.
16.8 lbs of Alaskan Purple are hanging nicely at 62F and somehow holding 60% rh right now.
More pot thefts in the area and Frost events happening all pointed straight at the Calendar. And we hit our mark…
11th
- all is really good within the tent environment. Plants that have been hung and dried this season are so firm, pliable, moist and Oh-so flammable.
Gonna throw another shout- out to LegacyMarketFarm for establishing the Hanging environment for this season and the exact Conditions.
Each batch produced under these conditions has been perfect. And a week later, left in a bag, they still read 60%… I’ll change his name to protect him, but really. Cheers Bud
The technique works amazingly well. 61F was my target temp, after managing the first big moisture loss from the wet plants, I locked the Humidity in on 58-60rh% till the end
Oct 16
- alls good in the tent, other plants been and gone… she remains pliant. Which is awesome on day 10 of the hang
19th
- Alaskan Purple gets trimmed tomorrow; day 14
Oct 20th
- confirming, today it gets taken apart. Beautiful looking buds

Dec 10, 2022
I have set a process in motion called Cobb preparation. It hs been used in Africa for generations and the goal is extent the Freshness of the bud over long periods of time.
And for the ingredients to full appreciate one another. Thc will not increase, but this method ripening will do just that, it brings qualities out of the Terpenes that are not normally available… so they say, and thats why I’m trying
I have Posted the directions to the Process, that I found on ICMAG.com. -peace-
Oct 10th
- Solidly into week 10 of Flower we go.
- Panama Red, Honduras x Panama and Congo #3 are all still pushing towards harvest. Whilst Alaskan Purple is on day 4 of hanging after being Cut down on the 7th ie: 16.8 lbs wet weight
- big Meal on Wednesday for each except pink kush
11th
- tom ford Pink Kush x Vanilla Frosting gets chopped (and delivered) tomorrow morning
12th
- ford Pink Kush etc was chopped and carried a wet weight of 907 grams / 2 lb on the nose. What a beautiful plant…
- last nutrients for the other two plants. Water-only from here on in
- OFFICIALLY, I’ve made my last batch of Nutes for this Summers growing needs; whew
Oct 12th 2022
- this tom ford Pink Kush x Vanilla Frosting photo-period was a gift way back in early 2022. And without any shred of information on-line, I was hesitant to stick one in soil.
Here we are 6 Months + later and I find the perfect exact link to this Strain, just being released to the public; https://oldschoolba.com/tom-pink-kush-by-monster-breeders/
Was I ever lucky to find it because it helped me keep her in the field for another ten days.
It also lent more credibility to the person who Gifted the seeds to me. Thanks Andrew, you gave me a shot at some rare and unique genetics.
Anyways this small legend reaks (sp) and my own partner wont go anywhere near it as her clothes stink after such Close Encounters… lol freshness lasts i guess.
Pink Kush is in the cold room and hanging. Like the others, we’re targeting 14 days.
The R.H. % has dropped in the room, so I’m now adding
Moisture to keep it ~ 60% ish
Temp remains 61-62F
It has begun. Pictures coming soon
Oct 22nd, today could be the day. All I can say about the Cheater Doobie I’m smoking right now, is that this, is some of the most Plush-Tasting weed I’ve smoked. having 3 strains in the Title, keeps you guessing as to where the taste may go. I’m just cleaning the small plants buds by hand. Talk smoke/weight soon
Oct 18th
- first day of week 11 in Flower for Honduras X Panama, Congo#3 x Bangi Haze and Panama Red
- plants are fed only Water at this point. Targeting a Harvest on Sunday for Panama Red
- Congo could go any day this week, we are in the zone
- checking them out today; P Red and Honduras
- sunday Oct 23rd is tentative harvest day for Panama Red
OCT 23, 2022
- Panama Red gets harvested today, oh man am I ever proud/happy that this grow has taken place, all the way to completion !!
-noonish
- Honduras x Panama is doing amazingly well
Its an amazing day, pulling the plug on the journey of this rare Panama Red Sativa.
Thanks to SativaKid for getting me in motion with this project, and I’m further bolstered by the experience, hearing that himself has put a couple extra Panama Red seeds, into water…
So let it roll S.K. they are legitimate Landrace seeds, can’t wait to watch it happen, again
Oct 19th, and the Congo has had enough of the wind blasts from Hell and the Tilted weather, out she came today. 2.8 lbs of Wet Harvest for the Congo #3 x Bangi Haze. There is a second plant being grown an hour in the opposite direction... and there has been little feedback on its health. To be addressed this week, looking forward to catching-up on that end. This plant did very well given how rough of a location I had chosen for it... Hanging and happy talk to you in a week or so, a couple would be awesome, but I feel it won't take long.
Kind of cautious on this plant, the buds have not really firmed-up at all. They are like loose balls of fluff. Branches are beginning to stiffen-up re: snap… decision time today for Congo #3, plant 1. DeCarb is likely.
Nov 2nd
- Plant 2, this is amazing, because it completely saves my bacon and allows for a proper tasting of the Congo #3 x Bangi Haze strain. My quiet buddy an hour away has been Harvesting on the fly and provided me with an Armful of Stinky Congo branches, from the 2nd seed that was planted. And its got real buds on it hoorah.
She is hanging in the tent… same targets as the other plants
Nov 19th
- 17 days of hanging and the Congo’s second plant harvest has been completed. This plant has been harvested on the fly by the grower, and I was given an armful of branches to harvest. From this I was able to clean-up 162 grams of Solid buds and another 132gr of popcorn/shake for Edibles.
Truly a Gem to smoke, fragrant and thick lung-filling smoke makes this an easy smoke. A Rich earthiness on the exhale and almost floral on the intake…
Oct 25th
- Honduras x Panama is doing amazingly well
28th
- fed one last time
Oct 31st
I’ve checked the calendar, its the end of week 12 in flower for this warrior. We amended the soil to Flower nutes and watered-through with Bloom nutes, 5-days before the official Flower day. So we are close. (Family Wedding blah blah blah)
The plant is filling those buds as we speak. She is still drinking water, even though its getting bloody cool right about now. Testament to the tenacity of this Sativa. And our luck with the weather so far. Fingers Crossed
Nov 1 starts week 13..
Nov 2nd
- If the weather allows to push into week 14 a bit, We are Going. Honduras Panama is filling the branches and we are seeing weather break
- Blue Room has been dismantled and the Honduras x Panama will now hang in the 4x4, same conditions: 62F / 65% R.H.
Panama Red and CloudWalker both were trimmed-out mon/tues, good-bye blue room, it worked perfectly if I have to rate it.
Nov 7th
- one branch snapped off in the high winds last night. And we are going to challenge tonights frost warning and Harvest her on Friday. (Snow is forecast for Saturday; S.W. Ont)
- Amazed that we got to the end of 13 weeks
Nov 10
- officially, we Harvest tomorrow. Before she gets “Worked” by Mother Nature.
- 9:00 a.m., look-out
Nov 11
- removed her braces and watched her dance for a few minutes. The wind really does struggle to gain ahold of the plant. Recent Storms and the pending onslaught of Winter, have been really rough the last couple weeks. But here she is, 13+ weeks of Flower, its time
- She is down, season over !
Harvested earlier this morning, the plant looks spectacular. Macro Photos have been taken and she is hanging in the tent.
Its the End of an amazing Season. Thanks to everyone for your comments, and the motivation. Checking out your sites gets me jacked too.
Thanks for all the tid-bits and sound advice. Big shout-out to Andrew and Sarah at LegacyMarketFarm. We talked all season; amazing pool of knowledge and patience. PS: they are gonna be “Firing-up”another next-level Video series here very shortly. Big News, congrats for them !
Later
Cheers
