As my first plant, this thing got the hell beat out of it. 1) It was found in dumpster with a split stem.. 2) In hindsight, not trained with poor internode spacing 3) Kept in absurd curtain clandestine grow space in my living 4) spider mite and me learning out to use neem oil and other treatments like pepper sprays 5) I transplanted (and cut roots) into far too small pot 6) Transplanted again into a bigger pot where the drainage plugs were not discovered for over a weekโ€ฆ.. maggot like things in water. 7) Absurd amounts of defoliation and branch trimming and lst and super cropping to make plant ready for real tent After all of this SHE THRIVED in the proper environments provided by the 3x3 and didnโ€™t flinch much at a pretty decent heat wave. Most resilient plant ever maybe? Only wish I knew what it was or cloned it.

D93ish - 11.6 - I found her in a dumpster with a split stem and no grow equipment and our journey began. From the clandestine tent and trying different lights to spider mites and super cropping. Me and this baby been there. She was a great teacher and I loved her dearly. I'm incredibly grateful for her resilience and patience with me as learned my way around this new skill. I killed her last night, cut her into pieces and put her in a box to dry. I havent smoked any of the newly harvested Dumpster Queen and won't test it until it goes into cure jars, but the sample I took off over a week ago was divine and opened my eyes to everything I've been missing in organic grown nugs. Thank you all for you support. I'm so stoked moving forward with this newfound hobby and passion. Will update in a week or so on the dry weight, cuz I'm really interested too. Expecting about a QP, just enough to give as gifts to some awesome friends and keep me going until my next harvest! 11.9 - stems were snapping i trimmed her up further into jars and weight came out to 80g. The nugs are not very dense or large, but are very very sticky and full trichomes. Smells of sweet dank floral and pine and the dank and floral notes really come out in a joint. I just got bubble bags from BubbleBagDue and will practice extraction on some the the trim and super larfy stuff : Thanks again for the support and following along everyone. My other diaries are where Im implementing all the lessons I learned with DQ and where I'll continue documenting my ongoing pursuit of growing grade A organic meds! 11.19 - D106ish - Our cure with the boveda 62% bags has been on for 10 days and the bud is about perfect. Been smoking hard on it and is still thoroughly enjoying it. Notable changes in flavor is the shift of that floral scent to more berry. It smells soo good I bury my face in the jar haha. The effect is still very uplifting and creative, which is great since I'm writing my phd dissertation. Anyhow, be well. Tons of love!

What is your favorite way to finish a plant at this stage? Dark period? Starving? Get wild with some stem splitting? No need for flush cuz super soil ๐Ÿ‘

Hello @NullHypothesis ! I always flush before harvest. Super soil or not there are always minerals in the soil for the plant to absorb no matter if they came from dried amendments that have been broken down by microbes or they came from bottle nutrients organic or not. Its a huge misconception that super soil doesn't need flush. As for dark periods before harvest, ice cubes in the soil, cutting the leaves at half and stuff don't have any scientific buck up. What has scientific buck up is that when you harvest the plant at the dark time of the light/dark cycle you get more terpenes. Happy growing ! ๐Ÿ‘

@BeefWellingtons, I will try to get a good pic today when the lights come on in a couple hours. Taking pics through the 40x with an iphone is difficult haha

@Fullmeltalchemist, how are the tricomes looking? I like the idea of the dark period, but it doesn't seem to be backed by much science. Either way, I think I'll try it on my harvest, also the starvation method where you stop watering before harvest (on soil grow).

This has to be the most loved plant on growdiaries!! They should have a prize for the most interesting backstory on a plant, you would get 1st prize for sure!

@BeefWellingtons, ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘Š TYSM for following along! I had a itty bitty larfy branch break 10 or so days ago, so I dried it. Smoked it last night and it was really really tasty. Citrusy diesel. Oddly, the SMOOTHEST J I have smoked in a while. The stoke is real rn.

@Fullmeltalchemist, what happened to you should happen to all of us! You definitely got the crash course! I've been rooting for her since you first added it up and I was stunned on how well you did with her. That plant will probably be the best smoke in your whole life! Great job bud.

@BeefWellingtons, ๐Ÿ˜‚ I really appreciate it. This plant is a metaphor for my whole life pretty much lol. Really though, I'm so fortunate. This thing has taught me about rehabbing sick plants, transplanting, LED lights, ventilation, mites(!), training, defoliating, overwatering, patience in flower. All before I really had enough confidence to buy my tents and get going with seeds. She gave me a crash course <3

I love this story! You were destined to grow this plant and smoke it! There will be something special about walking your high on your own supply. Like a weird full circle feeling =p

Dude you are the man. What kind of fuck nut ๐Ÿฅœ throws away a perfectly good ganja plant. One mans trash ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ is another mans treasure I suppose. Welcome to the world ๐ŸŒŽ of cultivation. It is a wonderful journey and hopefully this inspires you to refine your setup and grow things on your terms. I like to experiment with my grows.

@mad_scientist Thanks for that info. Flushing just consists of putting ph'd water through until some runoff goes through?

@Fullmeltalchemist,Yeap tap water is just fine. At least one week before harvest.
Fullmeltalchemist

@mad_scientist, Heck that's a lot of water even for my new DIY berkey haha. Does tap water do ok for this? How long before chop does this need to happen?
mad_scientist
mad_scientist
@Fullmeltalchemist, Yeap. ๐Ÿ‘ The water needs to be around 3 times the volume of the pot.
