I was the lucky winner of the monthly Canuk Seeds giveaway! I would highly recommend signing up for their newsletter to receive up-to-date industry news and guides, exclusive Canuk strain releases with excellent discounts, and the monthly opportunity to win store credit towards their premium genetics! Many, many, thanks to Canuk Seeds!
Popped and had rapid tail growth ~18 hours. Moved to Rapid Rooters on day 2. Rapid Rooters to perlite/coco mix in 4" pot on day 7
Speeding up foliar growth and starting to outgrow theirvfirst pot at end of week.
I'm about to throw the Canuk CBG out. She's had issues since day 1 and doesn't seem to any vigor.
Due to unforseen events, they were left alone for 16 days and the reservoir was bone dry when I got back. Only a few lower fan leaves showed any signs of deficiency, more thirsty than hungry. I got lucky
Rapid growth and they desperately need a lot of defoliation. Lollipoped. The smell jumped from 0 to 100. The MAC is just next level.
The PK is a little disappointing, and both have polyploid mutations (19 leaf points, self-bifurcating stems that are thick and brittle, one or two random branches that have apical fasciation)
Slight stretch, very tight internodal spacing.
Attached an HLG 30w UVA supplement at 1hr/day and slowly increasing the exposure duration by .5 - 1hr each day. Aiming to have it run 12 on by the end of week 3
Huge shoutout to Advanced Nutrients! I'm super excited to receive some newly released Voodoo Juice Plus tablets to test! It's essentialy all 3 of their microbial products in one, quick-dissolving tablet for a fraction of the cost per gallon. I sincerely appreciate their generosity, professionalism, expertise, and it's always a pleasure working with the AN team!

Pistols are shooting! MAC and PK have little stretch. PK has so many mutations. I was about to chop it, but the CBG doubled in height, stacked on bud sites, and really made a comeback.
No more foliar feeding. Defoliating once I see the stretch is over.
‐-------
Pistol-clustered bud sites are showing the first signs of forming dense growth. Hard to tell if the UV light supplement has influenced the progress, but the sugar leaves seem to have more trichomes than usual. Touching anywhere, even the stems, makes your hands sticky. The odor is very potent and smells like sugary berries
Super stinky and sticky. Cruise control with minor maintenance.
The same Pink Kush plant continues to have significant issues across the board. I've never seen a plant struggle this hard from such a diverse range of mutations.
Added Mammoth P to the routine early this week.
Almost end of week 4 flower. Significant increase of trichomes, noticeable from the first photos compared to the later photos posted for this week.
Looking good on the first day of week 5 flowering! Slight burning on the leaf tips and toothed margins. Cleaned the lines and reservoir, may back off the nutrients just a little bit.
Bulking hard towards the end of week 5 flower! The nutrient readjustment worked and the burn isn't progressing
Overdrive is kicking in! Rapid bulking and the flowers look rock hard. Lower fan leaves showing a slight fade.
RESOLVED: Mid week 12 of flower...Just found 2 nanners found on the same branch. Looking for recommendations per my "growers questions" submission. Looking forward to the communities support on how best to move forward!
Nanners on two colas from the same branch. No surprise, on the super mutant PK in the middle of my diary photos. There are nmo light leaks, swings of PH, humidity, temp, ppm, EC, or enviro conditions.
Do I:
A: Pluck nanners and carry on?
B: Remove the whole plant?
C: Suggestions?
You're so far in. It won't matter. Pollen needs to land on pre flowers, you're in the highs of fattening.
If you have any young plants obviously move them. Or cut the nanners.
After your harvest is over. Clean your tent. Should be good.
7/13: Still packing weight and the flowers are super dense. The HLG UVA supplement is set to 2hrs on and 1hr off during the 12hrs of light.
7/14: First trichome check. The MAC that's mildly horsetailing is starting to become cloudy. She's also showing the first signs of purple hues. The remaining plants have translucent trichomes
7/24: Returned to find my reservoir at 6.7 PH.....not great and showing signs of deficiencies and/or nutrient lockout from being too high. EC was high too. Cleaned entire autopot setup, flushed lines, scrubbed away any salt buildups, and mixed new batch of nutes at 5.9 PH. Tested reservoir, runoff, tray, and line flush EC/PPM/PH. Should be back on track.
7/25: Trichomes on the 2nd PK and CBG are mostly cloudy and will most likely be chopped within 7 days. All other plants are starting to become cloudy, but I'm estimating no more than 2 weeks left.
7/28: Most plants are still bulking. Some top colas are rapidly progressing and could be ready for harvest soon. However, the lower buds aren't there yet and I can't lower the light due to heat and light stress.
7/29: Trying to provide more specific information for each plant since the end is nigh. Plant numbers below correspond with my labeled diary photo.
1. MAC: Still bulking and trichomes are 50/50 clear to cloudy. Such an impressive plant and the star of this grow.
2. MAC: Growth has slowed and trichomes are 85% cloudy, 15% amber. On the chopping block.
3. PK: Growth has slowed and trichomes are 100% brilliant white cloudy. On the chopping block.
4. PK: Rapid growth and trichomes are 65% cloudy and 35% clear. The mutant continues to surprise me. Should have trimmed her up a bit heavier in vegetation and now that it's bulking, it's too crowded. I'll still get some quality flowers though. ~1.5 week to chop.
5. Canuk CBG: Growth has slowed and trichomes are 95% cloudy and 5% purple/amber. On the chopping block.
7/30: Starting to flush plants 2, 3, and 5.
Chopped plants #3 PK, #5 CBG, and #2 MAC. #1 MAC and #4 PK remaining! (Photo added for reference number)
This MAC outshines the other plants by far. Some of the most dense buds I've ever grown, and the super strong branches are starting to droop under their bulk. I'm really excited to see the final weight!
Plant #5 Canuk CBG
-Growing it: I almost chopped her down during vegetation since she lagged so far behing the MAC plants I popped at the same time. I'm so hlad I didnt! She came back with a vengeance when I flipped to flower, and turned into a beautiful plant with amazing colas. High bract-to-leaf ratio.
-Bag Appeal: Chunky and very frosty. Dense buds with hues of purple and lime green. Lots of bag appeal, my photos don't do it justice.
-Smell: Powerful gasoline, sweet lemons and berries
-Taste: TBD
Harvested #5 Canuk CBG at 125 days.17 weeks, 6 days. Rough trimmed and hang dried on stems. Final trim completed and placed in Grovebags. Final weight at start of cure = 119g, 4.20oz
PK plant #4
-Growing it: Tough, due to mutations
-Bag Appeal: This PK got a lot more color at the end, resulting in a nice purple tone on the main colas. Tightly trimmed, frosty, and a plethora of orange pistils. Looks great
-Smell: Lemoncello cake frosting
-Taste: TBD
PK plant #3
-Growing it: Tough due to mutations.
-Bag Appeal: Tightly trimmed and all bud, frosty, and a plethora of orange pistils. So frosty that white is more prominent than green.
-Smell: Very sugary and almost sickly sweet, citrus undertones, like lemoncello cake frosting. A little earth.
-Taste: TBD
Overall: Both PK were crazy mutants and had issues from the start. Both had polyploid mutations (Ex: 23 leaf points, self-bifurcating stems that are thick and brittle, etc). The plant growth rates were very slow, and their structural form was a short, stocky typical indica. The PK beans were popped 1 week after the CBG and MACs, but they look like they missed 3 weeks of veg time. They had so many genetic issues that I can't say I've experienced the full potential of this strain.
I'm over having to burp and micromanage dozens of big mason jars. Does anyone have experience using Grovebags? I'm giving them a try this round, and so far they seem to stabilize within 58%-62% humidity. Any advice for getting the best results with them or words of warning?
Hello
i use grove bags for two and a half year. Its great option for curing . I first cut and hang to dry mu plants , then i trim buds and put in bags 70% full. I like for a firs week to burp bags for a 15 min per day as long as i feel and register RH in bag with RH meter. After two weeks period its completely fine to consumption. I seal bags at this time and open as needed for compunction. Never had mold or over drying at this procedures.
MAC plant #1
-Growing it: This pheno leaned towards it's indica parentage. Extremely vigorous and a heavy feeder during vegetation stage, and moderately high during flower. Super smooth growing her from start to finish.
-Bag Appeal: Top shelf, stunning. Rock hard density, very large light green buds with a very low leaf to bract ratio, sparkling, purple hues, and an abundance of bright orange hairs.
-Smell: Tangy citrus zest, gassy earth
-Taste: TBD
MAC plant #2
-Growing it: Very vigorous and a heavy feeder during vegetation stage. Late flowering issues with nutrient toxicity, but thats on me.
-Bag Appeal: This pheno leaned towards its sativa parentage. Stacked bracts with slight horsetailing, long internodal spacing, and narrower leaf blades. Nice purple hues with an abundance of bright orange hairs.
-Smell: So stinky. Gasoline lemon loam.
-Taste: TBD
***Last diary week with living plants. Only trimming, drying, curing updated posts moving forward. Details for these plants will be added to the existing harvest posts for each of their strains***
Time to chop the #1 MAC plant before she eats up her sugar leaves. Trichomes are 90% cloudy, 10% amber. The smell while cutting her down is just incredible. ***Chopped 8/11.
8/4: PK plant #4 is still fattening, so I'll keep it alive! The bud appearance is the same as the #3 PK, just straight dusted with pearly white trichomes. ***Chopped 8/11
