Stella’s Duo - DarkStar

18 Nov 22 Harvest Report for Stella’s Duo! Allow me to begin by apologizing for the extreme delay in posting this harvest report and finishing the marvelous diary for Stella’s Duo. I have been recovering from getting hit directly in the face while pitching in a softball game that has left me somewhat disheveled, and unmotivated to do just about anything. I found out yesterday that I am going to have to have another surgery to fix the problems that it has caused. I kind of feel like a lonely leaf in a torrential storm blowing all over without sight of land or sky. I’ll find the ground eventually. I have been keeping a journal in my grow log with details of the harvest thus far, and will list them here below. Now begins the harvest report for this diary. 10/13/22 I finally started harvesting the Duo today. They haven’t been fed since 10/6/22, so I gave #1 whatever was left in the clone nutrient solution I had at hand. It was only half full, so #1 received 1/4 of a gallon today for no other reason except to give her dry soil a sip. I took a few branches from #2 to start trimming her today, but left all the other branches on the plant. After trimming them, their wet trimmed weight was 1.305 ounces. I hung them up to dry in the small tent. There is still some moisture in them, but not much. 10/14/22 I trimmed some more of the branches from #2 today. I cut all the branches off of the plant, but ran out of light before I could get much done. My vision isn’t as great as it used to be in low light, so instead of straining to see, I called it a day. I’ll finish with #2 tomorrow. The wet trimmed weight of what was trimmed today and hung up to dry was 1.053 ounces. 10/15/22 I finished trimming the last part of #2 today and now have it all hanging up to dry. It feels mostly dry already, but may need a little time to dry completely. The wet trimmed weight of what was finished today was 1.070 ounces. I’ve noted that most of the small sugar leaves are shades of purple and deep blue. Some areas on the buds themselves are also colored. Their colors may not be as bountiful as my first DarkStar grow, but still pleasant to look at. I’m going to take tomorrow off, and start harvesting #1 another day. It’s almost done, and the combined wet trimmed weight of #2 was 3.428 ounces. As you can see by the weight, she was mostly dry at the time of trimming. Next, #1! 10/18/22 I cut all of the branches off of #1 today because I felt that there was no need to keep them on the plant. They have already dried as much as I believe they need to, and will do as well sitting on a tray as on the plant. I started feeling somewhat nauseous due to their overpowering smell! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad smell, it’s really lovely, but powerful in such a large amount. It quickly turned me off to trimming and I put the stacked branches into the small tent where her sister is hanging dry. As I’ve mentioned above, #1 is mostly dry and won’t take a long time to trim it. The trick is getting myself to do it. Just not today. 11/14/22 Yes, my fellow growers, it has been nearly a month since I haven’t done ANYTHING with my plants. I finally took #2 down from the drying tent and separated her buds from her branches and got her true harvest weight. I’ve been in a funk lately and basically divorced myself from my growing duties. I’m trying to get out of it by finishing this last grow diary I have left to complete. The total wet-trimmed weight of #2 was 3.428 ounces. The total harvest weight of #2 (buds alone) was 2.949 ounces. She filled 3 quart sized mason jars, and had a bóveda 62 RH pack and a hygrometer put inside each of them. One would think that the extended drying time and neglect from her grower would diminish the effects of this lovely plant, as I feared. However, I have already ground and smoked some of her and she does not disappoint! I am not going to list a smoke report here yet, but I will once everything is done. I just need to get started trimming #1 so I can publish this report! 11/18/22 As of today I still haven’t started trimming #1. Today is the day that I transcribed all of my hand-written notes from my grow log for this entry. I’m still trying to get motivated enough to get started, and I can’t really explain the difficulty that I’m having to do simple tasks. Sometimes I swear that if breathing wasn’t an autonomic system response, I’d lose the motivation to even do that. Sad isn’t it. #1 will be completed, eventually. Thank you to everyone whom has followed me this far. I swear that the end is in sight. Happy growing everyone! I have finally completed harvesting Stella’s Duo #1. I don’t have anything super interesting to report other than the total weight of the plant. All finished, #1 had a total harvest weight of 2.781 ounces. She filled 2.5 quart sized mason jars, and each got a 62% bóveda pack, and a small hygrometer. The total harvest weight of both plants together, and the total weight for this diary is 5.79 ounces of wonderful DarkStar marijuana! Stella’s Duo’s diary is now complete. It wasn’t the best grow, but she gave me what she was meant to give me and that makes me happy. Happy growing everyone!

DarkStar is a wonderful indica heavy strain that will alleviate pain, stress, ease depression and wake up your creativity. It’s an excellent plant with high yields, and great effects. Have fun and enjoy! Happy growing everyone!
