This variety has demonstrated an incredible resilience, thriving against all odds 🌱. Accidentally, I caused significant damage to the largest plant by dropping a bong on it. Yet, from the surviving seven stakes, 280 g of buds were harvested 🍃. I'm determined to cultivate this strain to its fullest potential 🌟.

The captivating journey took an unexpected turn when mold was spotted on two buds, prompting me to opt for an emergency harvest to mitigate further spread 🍂.
By skipping both washing and drying (last 24 hours without water) to speed up the harvest, the weight of the large bush, a hefty 2485 grams, included all the water, stems, leaves, and even the bamboo scrog :)
Upon thorough examination, no additional signs of mold were detected. I ensured all the buds were dried under the highest airflow possible, effectively minimizing the impact of the mold 🌬️.
In response to this challenge, I'm planning to enhance the ventilation system and improve data monitoring within the grow box. These adjustments aim to replicate the success of this growing method while preventing mold in future cycles 🛠️.
My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who has been part of this journey through the diary. Your engagement and encouragement mean the world to me and my plants 🌿.
Huge thanks to @AsNoriu, @MiyaguiOkPolilla, @nonick123, @Archie1337, @JuanHaze_Arg, @deFharo, @Plantinator, @GrowerOG, @GrowInSparta, @Lemonhazelover for following my journey and wishing me success 🌟. Your support means the world to me 🙏💚.
A special shoutout to @chamomile; I'm gearing up for a strong comeback 💪.
Appreciation extends to @SkunkleDamo, @TheUk420Show, @HerbalEdu, and @FNplug6 for their invaluable advice during this critical decision-making process 🙏.
W12.Day.7(83)
Almost a whole week of drying has passed, and I've managed to remove the excess fan leaves and the less trichome-dense parts of the remaining leaves 🍃✂️. Made a little update to the dryer - added an extra section and now all the cleaned colas with buds are comfortably sitting on the drying racks 🌿🔄. No signs of mold anywhere, which is a huge win 🚫🍄✨. I haven’t separated them from the branches yet; I’m planning the final weighing after another week of drying ⏳🌱.
P.S. Dreaming about the yield if I could manage to hold out for two more planned weeks of grow 🌠💭🌳. More smiles, more vibes 🌈😊.
W13.Day.3(86)
I took one of the ready buds off the drying rack to check it out and study it 🧐. There are lots of clear and white trichomes and hardly any amber ones. The smell reminds me of Mimosa Orange Punch Auto from Barney's Farm 🍊. I think the terpene profile must have come from the Mimosa. It could have used more time to flower and mature, rather than this early finish 🌱. But we work with what we've got and move forward from here. This weight of 3.49 grams will be added to the total tally after the final weighing at the end of the two-week drying period ⚖️.
The taste after smoking has a quite strong chemical note. It should diminish after curing. In terms of potency, it's slightly below my previous grow. But again, this is without curing.
Don't pin your value to other people's belief... Whatever you have done, someone else has probably also done it and likely better, too. There are 8 billion people in this world... Plus, yield is more about genetics, considering the biggest thing we contribute is not stepping on our own genitals.
@Keegasus, 😂 Love the "pew pew" vibes! Thanks for spreading the love and the laugh. Your compliment just grew an extra inch of pride in my garden! 🌱💪 Here's to sharing more greens and grins! 🍀😆
Estás haciéndolo bien 😏😁
Solo ten cuidado con el exceso de agua 🤞
En cuanto al SCROG, se ve espectacular, deberías tener en cuenta la flexibilidad del bambú y la fuerza con la que las ramas empujarán hacia arriba para no tener complicaciones a mitad de floración, pero la forma de la estructura es épicamente matemática 😍
@MyDearDiary, pues el método es más eficaz
Justo antes de ir a regar cuando notes que a la maceta no le pesa el culo, levantala varias veces para que te quedes con la sensación
En adelante, rega siempre así 😊
@MiyaguiOkPolilla, ¡Muchas gracias! En verdad, estoy tratando de tener un 'jardín verde' tan hermoso como los jardines de Alhambra. Pero, ¿sabes? A veces siento que mis plantas me hablan... y estoy empezando a entender 'fluido en verde' 😄🌿.
Que hermoso y verde crecimiento amigo! Pedí esta variedad para cultivarla y sos una buena guía para ver los resultados! Muchas gracias por compartir con nosotros esta genética
@JuanHaze_Arg, ¡Gracias! Es un placer ser tu guía en el mundo del cultivo. Pero cuidado, no me hago responsable si tus plantas crecen tanto que empiecen a competir con los árboles de tu vecindario. 😄🌳
@JuanHaze_Arg, That's wonderful to hear! Thank you for your encouragement. I'm excited to share the progress of cultivating these genetics. Let's grow together! 🌱✨
@AsNoriu, Thank you for the advice. I also decided that it was excessive watering and switched to a lighter program. How did you determine that I would need magnesium - is it experience or are there some signs that I am not noticing?
@nonick123, ¡Gracias, amigo! Estoy seguro de que será una floración espectacular y los cogollos serán impresionantes. La naturaleza siempre nos sorprende con su belleza.🙌
Gracias, amigo. Todos los problemas iniciales con el riego y los quemazones que empezaban estaban relacionados con un problema en el sistema de irrigación. Ya lo he ajustado y lo estoy llevando a los objetivos deseados.
Y la red se puede hacer aún más cómoda (ya en el próximo cultivo).
@MyDearDiary, 😂 pew pew. Yea was just proud of the compliment I thought more people deserved to receive it, doesn't make it any less true in your case though still an amazing grow you've done👌
