12/09/22 This plant certainly was an interesting one to grow. I think a little history is necessary. About 6 months ago I bought a bunch of seeds from North Atlantic Seed Co. Well they were nice enough to ship some free seeds, and I received 4 or 5 OG Kush seeds. Only two of them ever popped, this being one of them. So looking at either a 40 or 50% germination rate. This plant came out entirely different from a seed in the same pack I grew about 6 months ago. Not going to lie at all this specific pain was a pain in the ass. It was hard stunted at the beginning of its life cycle and eventually it actually OVERTOOK the other two plants. This was really surprising, and I need to give this plant some credibility for its resilience. I also snapped this plant literally in half pretty early on in flower. Maybe week 2 if even. That brings me back to another point. The stems were very woody and fibrous, and had no bend. They would just snap if they bent over. Pros: Frosty buds, decent harvest weight, interesting but atypical OG Kush smell Cons: Woody branches that snap easily had to stake up every branch, very finicky to light, lots of foxtailing, had a really hard time getting started EDIT(12/14/2022); I just ran out of buds unexpectedly today and rather than going to the dispensary I decided to smoke this plant. A little backstory. On harvest day, the two smallest branches snapped off of the plant at the base. I hung them up above the rest of the plant, and today they were at a good RH to trim because they were so tiny. So it has only been 5 days and I did check the cannabis and it is in the dry zone now. As I mentioned in this diary before, this plant looks NOTHING like the other exact same seed I popped from the same breeder. However, the smell IS the exact same. The plant smells gassy yet sweet, and the buds look okay. These buds are average density IMO, but these were the smallest from the plant. Pictures titled "12/14/2022 5 day dry". EDIT(12/15/2022); So, not sure what's going on with this plant, or my meter. One or the other. Yesterday the plant rated at about 19% internal moisture. Today, with not much change in environment the moisture is now 8%... I am not sure if my meter is acting up, which it very well could be, but I will be trimming and bagging this plant tomorrow. I would do it today but I do not have time. EDIT(12/16/2022); Well, I trimmed this plant today. It was a decently easy trim. I started at about 9:30, and was finished by around 1:30-2:00. This would put me around 4-4.5 hours. UNFORTUNATELY, I suppose I needed to trim yesterday. Today after trimming and bagging the cannabis, the RH reads around 45-50%. Ideal RH for curing is around 58-62%, when you drop out of this range you don't cure efficiently, and when you go above this range mold is a risk. I rate my buds in 3 scales. The smallest buds, and the larfiest buds, are what I call the "smalls". These are what I smoke during cure if need be and these are also what I will use if I run out later on in the cycle. Medium sized buds, with a good bag appeal, are what I call "mids". The mids are what I mainly smoke. Mids usually have the largest quantity. The largest buds, which usually are just the very top part of the plant, are what I called Highs. These are saved for special occasions, or what I give to people as gifts. All said, I got; 23.6grams/ 0.84OZ of Smalls 52.1grams/ 1.86OZ of Mids 25.0grams/ 0.89OZ of Highs

Reviews. Nutrient
Pretty good. I think if you run a few cycles with these nutrients as long as you add some calmag and lime to your soil that's all you need. Time will tell. EDIT: Like I said, time will tell. Today, I took the soil apart from the root ball to reamend and reuse it. Something I noticed is that the Fish bone meal is literally all completely intact. Once upon a time I witnessed a discussion between some older growers. One of them argued that using large rocks or any bones not in meal form for nutrients or minerals was useless because they take so long to break down that in terms of growing cannabis it is useless. The other grower argued that due to the biology in the soil they break down a lot faster. What I saw when I broke open the soil was pretty shocking. The Fish bone meal was not only still there, all of the pieces that weren't dust looked the exact same size. This is pretty bad. The first topdressing had like 6 weeks to break down, and the only thing that was broken down and used was the fish bone meal POWDER. For this reason, I DO NOT recommend this fish bone meal product. Get one that is much finer ground. I suspect this to be part of the reason my plants were lacking at the end. Also I know that lack of biology was not a problem because I constantly added beneficial microbes and one of the pots in the room had mycorrhizae on the surface of the soil. Another reason that this Fish Bone Meal is not a great option is because the ratio is terrible. It is supposed to be a flowering agent, but it has no Potassium, and a lot of Nitrogen. If it is going to have a 5 on N then it should have at least a 5 on K. I think even a 7 or 9 would be better on K right now. ALSO IMPORTANT: I would rate the fish bone meal 2/5, but the site will not let me change my rating now for whatever reason. AND I realize now that I put Lobster meal on the diary, but in reality I used the all purpose plant food.
Reviews. Lamp
I really like this bar style lighting system. Before I was using a mars hydro from like 2020 that was very ineffective and even though the power draw was the same the other light gave me really fluffy buds around the edges.
Reviews. Tent
Good reliable tent. I beat the hell out of this thing constantly moving it around when its full of things and just today I shoved it through a door and it scraped a bit of the paint onto the tent but the tent is sturdy and dependable. The inside waterproof floor-mat is also a huge bonus.

Painful grow. The branches being so woody gave me a really hard time as they kept snapping and falling over. A few good things did take place for instance the buds are super frosty, and the plant self-topped so I had two main colas.

This is an organic grow using Coast of Maine Organic plant food, and lobster meal. It appears to me that the plant has deficiencies for all the three major nutrients, or lockout, but today it is also showing what appears to be Calcium or Magnesium. I've been using castings too.

You have a PH of 7 if that is correct then your having deficiencies from your plant not able to uptake the nutrients in the soil. Soil should be 6-7 and watering/feeding at 6.5. I would water the next couple at 6.0 then bump it up to 6.2-6.5. As for your feed I could not tell you as I have not grown organic. I'm guessing your feed is sufficient enough and once you correct the PH things will stop getting worse. If you have an EC/PPM pen then you can test your runoff to see if your overfeeding and causing lockout. Happy Growing

I dissected one of the flowers and saw what appeared to be a seed at about 2 weeks of maturity. So still very young. If you do see signs of nanners or seeds, please go through my growdiary and pick out what I did wrong. I cannot identify anything happening this grow that was bad.

I don’t see any sign of intersex flowers/herms or seeded bud. The inside of the bract has an ovule that is what gets pollinated and forms into a seed. The ovules are there before it becomes pollinated and can be mistaken as beginning of seeds forming.

Please rate each picture. The first two pictures go to their own plants but the last two are from the same plant. These plants are about 3 days from breeder time. I am waiting until they are cloudy and probably 5-10% amber.

I’m seeing a large majority of cloudy in most these. Probably let things go another week personally. First pic I do see a few ambers .. other 3 pics - very very few amber.
