The weather has been very poor the past week, mostly cold and gray and not as spring-like as the first few days of life.. If we were lucky, we got a few sun rays in the evenings, but otherwise all of our time has been spent indoors at the window under an 18w old school shop light (which unfortunately burned a Red Pure CBD) that stayed on all night. Especially the Honey Peach has stretched a bit too much for my liking... The current plan is that one Red Pure CBD will be on the SE facing balcony, while all other plants will be in a greenhouse with direct sunlight from approx. 9am to 7:30pm. Grows in both spots in past years were satisfying. 3 plants were repotted today into 10-12 liter buckets (with drilled drainage holes). Soil is a German product Floragard Professional Growmix with which I have had good experience. The weather will be perfect for the next week.

All plants have been outdoors (garden greenhouse and balcony) for 7 days now without any supplemental artifical light and are healthy and growing. The weather was overall good, but it got too warm (40 degrees Celcius) in the greenhouse for a couple days. The Pure Red CBD plants have a nice compact structure and seem to be the most promising, but we'll see. Honey Peach is despite the same conditions rather streched with still little side growth. Pure Red (greenhouse) and Honey Peach were topped on day 20. I topped a Fast Buds 1:1 CBD Crack in the 3rd week last year (May-July) in the greenhouse and it produced a pleasing 33g. The CBD Crack this year is set to take off now at day 21. No feeding at all so far. I've been very conservative with watering, even when it was too warm in the greenhouse. Tonight the Pure Red on the balcony got a natural rain downpour for about an hour. I'm betting that the Pure Red on the balcony (which actually got burned a bit by a lamp in week 2) will produce the most weight in buds. Signs of pre-flowering are already present in all but the younger CBD Crack. The weather should be good next week, especially in the greenhouse.

Slow week, unexpectedly poor weather, mostly overcast and cool. All plants seem to be content though and showing progress. I plan on some first LST for the plants in the greenhouse tomorrow. Weather is looking up for the next week.

The weather has been nice for the past several days and there has been much progress. Started some LST on the Sweet Seeds Honey Peach and Pure Red CBD in the greenhouse 4 days ago. Watering just as needed. No nutrients yet. +++++++++++ Update 4 days later. Weather has been just OK. Noteworthy developments: Fast Buds 1:1 CBD Crack is now on the balcony because there was no room for tomatoes in the greenhouse anymore. First signs of pre-flowering on her today, day 35. Slightly more yellow leaves in comparison to all other plants and a few leaves including one relatively large fan leave from the main stem were severely damaged by some kind of insect. Leaves are relatively thin and flimsy. Still seems healthy though. Nice purples on the Sweet Seeds Pure Red CBD in the greenhouse coming in, but all greens on the plant with the same genetics on the balcony. I wonder if this is just normal differences between individual plants or due to conditions. The plant in the greenhouse has more stress with topping, some mild LST and heat. The Sweet Seeds Honey Peach CBD is flowering nicely, but my LST turned out to been more HST on the main cola (with two branches because of topping): the whole stem folded... I doctored a brace and everything seems fine actually.

The weather was OK overall for the past week. Some days with perfect growing conditions and others with gray skies and rain. Honey Peach suffered another slightly broken branch, but this seems to have no influence on the flowers. She got a drink with nettle tea today. The colors of the Pure Red in the greenhouse are gorgeous and she smells lovely. Not sure how much toping and LST helped though. In comparison, the Pure Red on the balcony seems to be slightly further along. Both have been getting a low dose of biobizz bloom and nettel tea. Green Crack started showing pistils an most main flowering sites yesterday, now day 39, is turning into a monster and has the most potential for being the money maker. I think I should have staked...

Weather has been acceptable, but things are not looking good for the next several days. Red Pure CBD (balcony) is getting frosty, but no red or purple at all. CBD Crack is exploding. Honey Peach CBD is developing slowly but surely. Red Pure CBD (greenhouse) is frosty like her sister on the balcony, but flowers are less nuggety and more foxtaily.

Weather hasn't been optimal to say the least. Mostly cloudy and often rainy days with some rather extreme downpours. I think I have only watered twice in the past 7 days. All plants are getting some nettle tea mixed in with a mixture of rain and tap water. Both Red Pure CBD are basically ready already, but some new pistils have appeared and there is still a little room for growth, so I will let them go another week. The CBD Crack and Honey Peach are both unexpectedly large, but also immature, especially on a couple late bloomer side branches on the Honey Peach. Last year I harvested CBD Crack on day 63. Obviously that is not going to happen with this one (day 53 today) and I will be very lucky to if I can it take before day 70. I have a little more hope that Honey Peach (day 56 today) will be ripe for the picking by day 70. Some minor defoliage on the CBD Crack, but the other plants don't really need it. Weather is looking up for next week!

The weather has been relatively good the past week and all plants showed nice development. Both Red Pure CBD plants have basically been ready for several days now and are being flushed. They only ever got 3-4 normal doses of BioBizz Bloom in addition to nettle tea. They will be harvested in the next 3-4 days. CBD Crack flowers are finally swelling up and getting frosty, but still a way to go. Much of the Honey Peach CBD could be ready enough for harvest in about a week, but some braches will need more like 2-3 weeks. ################################################################################################################################################################ Update 1 day later (day 65 for Red Pure CBD and Honey Peach CBD). Both Red Pure were chopped today because they are actually ready and I would likely not find the time in the near future. All leaves without any noteworthy amount of tricromes were removed, plants were cut at the stalk and hung up to dry in a tent with an inline duct fan/charcoal filter and a small dehumidifier box in a room with a temperature range around 60-70 degrees F. Some mold was discovered on one medium-sized flower on the Red Pure CBD from the balcony, but the one from the greenhouse is clean. In other news, one of the lowest and most immature branches of the Honey Peach with a potential of about 1.5-2g snapped and would not likely be helped by any doctoring in this late stage, so I just harvested it. Upside is that I will have a THC-infused smoke report in about 10 days. Otherwise, the Honey Peach (showing some nice fall colors probably due to the oddly cold nights) now has more room and better light conditions in the greenhouse for the home stretch.

More details to come when dry, but as for the grow I can say that I was very pleased with how easily both plants (one topped, one natural) cooperated despite suboptimal conditions. Some mold developed on the green phenotyp (which according to Sweet Seeds only occurs in less than 5%) on the balcony, but I think cut it out early enough to prevent spreading during drying. ################################# Trimmed the green pheno after 10 days drying (still needs 4-5 days before curing). I was very surprised by how airy the flowers on both plants are. But sticky and fragrant (perfume, both plants smell identically) and already tastes nice. ################################# Day 14 after harvest, flowers got another slight trim and now curing begins. Some of the red pheno flowers were so airy that they just landed in the trim hash pile. Overall I'm satisfied with this strain, but my feeling is that it might do better indoors

Finally a several day streak of sunny and warm weather. Both plants are showing some beautiful fall colors probably due to the low night temps below 50 F a few days ago. Honey Peach is basically ready (without studying tricomes) and likely won't produce much more mass. Already very frosty. Lives up to its name in the smell department, fruity sweet. Considering the humidity in the greenhouse, I am reluctant to let her keep going, but the weather will be nice the next several days and I'm feeling risky, so I will wait at least another 5 days and see what happens. I may experiment by harvesting the most mature flowers that are already ready and letting the late bloomers grow up a bit. CBD Crack flowers have really swelled up and become dense. Many pistils are still completely white. I removed around 20 large fan leaves from the CBD Crack because they were turning quite yellow and just blocking exposure. Both plants get a glugertwo of nettle tea, normal dosage of biobizz bloom and top max mixed in with either tap or rain water whenever their soil starts to dry out without making any science out of anything. BTW, checked on the Pure Red CBD harvest drying in the tent. All looks good, no mold, but it will take a least another 7 days.

Weather has steadily improved and will stay very sunny and warm for several days. Nothing new regarding watering/feeding. I absolutely love everything about this plant, the christmas tree form, the fall colors, the frosty flowers, the penetrating smell throughout my apartment even though she is on the balcony and the window is just cracked. I see no risk of mold or pests at the moment, so just letting her enjoy the promising weather for the next several days.

Despite the humidity in the greenhouse, I tried to take advantage of the sunny weather, but unfortunately some bud rot developed and a small colony of aphids had found a home, so I had to chop (most) 2 days eariler than planned. Fortunately I didn't loose much (so far) - just 2-3 grams and some trim. The healthy buds are now drying the together with the Red Pure CBD (needs 4-5 more days before curing). Very dense and fruity smelling. The plant obviously had some issues with it's black leaves and some pests had attacked it all along, but she put up a hard fight and came out on top. I tried some of the tiny flowers from the small branch that I accidently broke (dried 10 day) and am pleased in all respects. More a typical indica stone. Looking forward to reporting about the extemely dense nuggets when they are dry. Left a few branches on that were relatively immature as an experiment. The weather will be fantastic for the next several days, so I hope what is left of her will benefit. #################### Update day 82: So the rest had to be harvested as well because some more bud rot popped up. The greenhouse is simply too humid for flowering. But I think the extra week was advantageous overall. Gave the first part of the harvest another trim after 7 days drying and will dry another 4-5 days before curing begins. Fortunately no new mold developed during drying. I have been smoking the small premature leafy flowers from the branch I accidently broke around 9 for a couple weeks now and am totally satisfied. I will finalize the diary of the Honey Peach CBD plant in about 2 weeks when the second harvest is dry enough to cure.

Great weather for the past week, but a bit too much rain the past two days and a cool down for the next few days. Feeding with Biobizz Bloom and Top Max stopped last week, but still mixing in some nettle tea. Overall yellowing has disappeared which I attribute to increasing the nettle tea dosage. New pistils all the time and no amber tricomes to speak of yet, but I may have to harvest before the weekend. #################### Update day 83. Cool temperatures and rain have brought out even more fall colors, but still much new growth and the weather should turn for the better for several days tomorrow.

Weather the past several days was good, but almost too hot. Only feeding with nettle tea at this point. The flowers are still developing with much new growth. Harvest will be as soon as I find the time. ##################################################################### Update day 92: post peak fall colors came through even more after lots of rain last night, so I started removing fan leaves and the full harvest will likely be tomorrow.

Growing CBD Crack Auto 1:1 was a pleasure, even more so than last year. Got off to a slow start, streched a lot despite good outdoor light conditions, was pale overall with weakish leaves and I was sceptical in the first weeks, but I was obviously proven very wrong. Turned out to be a winner again. Last year my CBD Crack plant in a smaller container produced 30+ g of good quality buds in just 63 days. This year in a considerably larger container took 30 days longer, but also a larger harvest of even better quality. I can't imagine how this plant would do under better conditions. Drying in a tent for the first time. I can't control the temperature much and it is a bit high, but I am happy that RH is (currently) 60 and not higher. More later. ######################################### 4 days into drying avg. temp in the tent is a bit high 74F and humidity 62RH, but the critical period has passed and everything is looking and smelling great and no signs of mold or bud rot. ######################################## Update 10th day into drying: temp in tent a constantly too high, but humidity was low and the results, almost finished drying, are just as awesome as the grow itself. Just trimmed a few branches (maybe 25% of the total harvest), some buds will continue to dry in after trimming in a net. Some are already beginning the curing processs. My neighbor who I caught growing in the basement lol got a nug as a friendly gesture yesterday. I consumed a small b rip today as a first taste and I am proud to say that the weed I grew on my balcony with very little extra nutrients is as top shelf as anything I've encountered before. If you are interested in growing a less potent (but still potent enough) strain, I would highly recommend this one based on two (outdoor) grows.
