THURSDAY 11/29: I got a free 2-pack and 3-pack of RQS Diesel Autos with my recent Seedsman order and I intend to grow them all this winter in the same tent with 10x Candy Canes. They are getting "dropped off at the pool" on Saturday for a nice soak . I'll veg them for a couple of weeks in the 5 x 4 tent under a lot of blue light and the 1500w blurple. Then, when my new lighting rig arrives, I'll set it up in the 5 x 4 and move them into the 4 x 4 tent to veg for a couple more weeks while my current crop finishes under the new light. Then I'll move them back into the 5 x 4 tent as mature plants are harvested and space becomes available for them. I'm really stoked about the new lights I have ordered. I got an 800w Chinese fluence knock-off with 10 bars, plus a couple more individual light bars running 85w each. Dimensions 47" x 42" and has an average PPFD measured at over 1100 in a 4 x 4 at 12" height. 2.7 uMols! Rather than the mix of 3000k and 5000k's in a fluence, it's all 3500k diodes, plus a lot of 660nm cree diodes. So, that 970w, plus the additional 96w of 3000k side lights, the 2 x 24w 660nm panels hanging from the sides of the tent, and 4 x 12w miracle leds with reflectors in the lower corners, that's a little over 1100 total actual draw watts...with a big reduction of heat. I'm very optimistic about it. Stay tuned...😁 SATURDAY 12/1: Floated 5 x RQS Diesel Autos SUNDAY 12/2: Sunk them to the bottom...a couple splitting open already. MONDAY 12/3: All seeds split and I see a couple of tongues sticking out, but nothing big enough to plant yet. I'm recharging the soil from my last WW/CC run tonight. I didn't take photos of my ingredients when I recharged the soil that I'm using for this grow, so I took photos today of most of the ingredients. In addition to the ones pictured, I use about 15lbs of worm castings (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V4RI88Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and a 12 qt. bag of FoxFarms Ocean Forest potting soil. Here's my RECHARGE RECIPE - 50 gallons of used soil Original soil mix: 2.5:1 Happy Frog/Coco Loco ------------------------------------------ Ocean Forest or Happy Frog Soil --- 2 cups per 5 gallons of soil 20 cups (12 qt bag) ------------------------------------------- Coco Loco Soil --- 1 cup per 5 gallons of soil 10 cups (or) Coco Coir (peat/pith/fiber blend) --- 1 cups per 5 gallons of soil 10 cups --plus-- Perlite (large/course grade) --- 1/2 cup per 5 gallons of soil 5 cups ------------------------------------------- Worm Castings --- 4 cups per 5 gallons of soil 40 cups (approx. 15 lbs.) ------------------------------------------- Bokashi --- 1.5 cups per 5 gallons of soil 15 cups (approx. 2-3 lbs) ------------------------------------------- Earthshine Biochar --- 2-3 ounces per 5 gallons of soil 25-30oz ------------------------------------------- Nectar for the Gods One-Shot granular fertilizer --- 1.5 cups per 5 gallons of soil 15 cups (approx. 4 lbs) ------------------------------------------- Happy Frog Bat Guano --- 1/2 cup per 5 gallons of soil 5 cups (approx. 2-3 lbs) ------------------------------------------- !!!Mix thoroughly!!! !!!Store in a semi-sealed container for at least 60 days!!! !!!Mix it up on occasion (easy if stored in a compost tumbler)!!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002D925D6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Ingredients total cost: approx. $130 (with coco coir + perlite) or approx. $150 (with the Coco Loco) Everything on the list is available through Amazon. CON's: - It's roughly the same cost as buying all new soil in the big bags through Amazon - Takes a couple months to breakdown all the organic matter and convert it to plant food - All ingredients have to be mixed thoroughly (but you should do this anyway with new soil) PRO's: - It's much more discreet because all the ingredients arrive in small(ish) unmarked Amazon boxes - You end up with about 3-5 gallons more soil than you started with (depending on how much root mass you removed) - The resulting soil is more fortified with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium than the original mix and has an insanely active microbial colony TUESDAY: I had 5 little diesel tongues sticking out at me today, so I planted them in rockwool cubes and put a 26w blue/cool white panel over them. WEDNESDAY: Nuttin yet... THURSDAY: Nuttin yet... FRIDAY: Debbie Diesel showed up today...her sisters are still sleeping I guess. Today, I got scared that I wouldn't have any more emerge and dropped 4 x C4 seeds into distilled water as a back-up. SATURDAY: lil' Debbie is looking good, but all alone.. SUNDAY: lil' Debbie is still an only child....😕 MONDAY: same...😣 TUESDAY: same...😖 WEDNESDAY: I planted the lone Diesel and put a little dome over her..good humidity in the tent, but she's looking kinda shabby. I started soaking 2 x Vision Seeds Northern Light autos and 3 x Seedsman White Widow autos to replace the failed Diesel beans. THURSDAY: Debbie Diesel might die and I'll be 0/5 on the RQS Diesel Auto 😖 I put the 2 x NL and 3 x WW beans into moist paper towels today..they were all cracked open. FRIDAY: Debbie is still hanging in there.. SATURDAY: Debbie is still hanging on... I planted the NL's and WW's in 3 gallon pots today with humidity domes over each. SUNDAY: Debbie is still alive and finally growing a little, but probably seriously stunted😕 None of the new sprouts have emerged yet. MONDAY: Debbie is probably not gonna make it after all...her growth can be measured in microns 😞 Still no sign of the WW's and NL's....😟 TUESDAY: No change at all...none...@!#$%^😖 WEDNESDAY: Finally, one of the 3 WW's emerged..but still no sign of the NL's @!#$% Debbie Diesel appears to be living on borrowed time...fucking ridiculous luck lately.😖 THURSDAY: Debbie died. Fuck that bitch... One of the NL's emerged today, and still just the one WW is growing. So..this "POTpourri" grow consists of only: 1 x White Widow Auto (2 still yet to emerge) 1 x Northern Lights Auto (1 still yet to emerge) 2 x C4'matic 3 x Candy Cane Auto ..plus the 3 x Amnesia kept in another of my diaries I guess I should drop a couple more beans tonight...I'm fucking determined to grow a tent-full this time and I'm still short a few...and I can't count on the remaining few to emerge...damn my shitty fucking luck.😖 FRIDAY: All three WW's have emerged. Only the 2nd NL has yet to appear. SATURDAY: I received my latest Seedsman order today and it included 3 x free RQS Diesel Auto, so I immediately dropped them into distilled water and put their jar on the seedling heating mat. Maybe this time....👈 So, the POTpourri grow now consists of: 3 x White Widow Auto 3 x Candy Cane Auto 2 x C4'matic 1 x Northern Lights Auto (1 yet to emerge) 0 x Diesel Auto (3 yet to emerge) ..plus the 3 x Amnesia Auto kept in another of my diaries

Christmas Day - 12/25: 3 x White Widow Auto - 1 is growing quickly and the other 2, not so much... 3 x Candy Cane Auto - 3 of the biggest 5 seedlings in the garden 2 x C4'matic - 1 is growing well and the other is a runt 1 x Northern Lights Auto -1 is pretty slow to get started and the other has yet to emerge 0 x Diesel Auto - all 3 were planted directly in 3 gallon pots today WEDNESDAY: Everybody is doing well ..still no 2nd NL and no diesels 😟 I moved the biggest 5 seedlings into the big tent and put a pair of 85w bar lights about 15 inches above them. THURSDAY: The 5 seedlings I moved into the big tent pretty much doubled in size overnight! Everybody else is doing fine.. Still no 2nd NL and no diesels have emerged.. FRIDAY: 1 x Diesel Auto has emerged!👍 ..still no 2nd NL .. I watered everybody in the small tent, and gave the bigger seedlings in the big tent their first dose of nutes today...about 1/5 gallon each. So..the POTpourri grow consists of: 3 x White Widow Auto 3 x Candy Cane Auto 2 x C4'matic 1 x Northern Lights Auto - the other has yet to emerge 1 x Diesel Auto - 2 still yet to emerge These 10, plus the 3 x Amnesia in another diary should fill the tent. Just gotta keep them alive now!!!🙏 SATURDAY: Everybody is growing. Still only 1 x Diesel and 1 x NL on today with their first dose of veg nutes. SUNDAY: I watered the bigger seedlings today pretty well, with bonus calimagic and bud candy and started foliar feeding with full-strength flower's kiss plus a little armor si. The little girls got watered. MONDAY: I foliar fed a couple times. I added another new Exhale bag to the big tent on Sunday and my avg CO2 went up to almost 1400, so I lowered their lights a little bit. I graduated the last C4 to the big tent today.

TUESDAY: I foliar fed the big girls a few times, but they were still moist so waiting to feed til tomorrow. Little girls got watered. I will harvest another bloomer (Beatrice Blackberry) tomorrow, so will have room to graduate the largest of the little girls (a WW) to the big tent until I can rig up the little tent with about 650w and move them back in there for another week or so while my bloomers finish up. Then it's back to the big tent for the POTpourii crop.👍 I FIM'd 2 of the Candy Canes and a C4 today. WEDNESDAY: I watered all the seedlings today with a little boomerang, bud candy, and calimagic. After doing so, I realized it was actually time for a feeding...oh well..they'll be fine. After harvesting my Blackberry, I decided to just move the remaining 4 seedlings into the big tent and shut down the small tent for a while. I may end up finishing the bloomers in the small tent..but whatever the case, all 13 seedlings from the POTpourii grow are living large under 1010w of sunshine and breathing in 1390ppm of CO2. It's on!😎 THURSDAY: I foliar fed everybody and gave them all a tiny taste of ph'd spring water..maybe 4oz. FRIDAY: I foliar fed a few times and rearranged a little. Took some photos. The Candy Canes are beasts! The Northern Lights seedling is super-slow...kinda pathetic really..the Diesel, which is a full week behind, will surpass her in growth very soon. The White Widows are starting to grow upwards a little now. The C4's are both doing great. 👍 SATURDAY: I watered them with a little calimagic, bud candy, and boomerang. SUNDAY: I foliar fed a few times and rearranged the garden. MONDAY: I fed them today with about a half gallon each including all the good stuff and foliar fed a few times.

TUESDAY 1/8/2019: I foliar fed a few times today...my little girls are growing up so quickly.😁 Even the little Diesel is looking strong now.👌 WEDNESDAY: Massive overnight vertical growth on all three Candy Canes caused them to get too much direct airflow from my fan, so their new growth is looking twisted today.😶 I foliar fed a few times and rearranged a little.. The Seedsman White Widows still refuse to show me any vertical growth 😕 All 3 x Candy Canes are flowering now, along with one C4.👍 THURSDAY: I foliar fed a few times and FIM'd the Diesel, (Debbie). New growth on the Candy Canes and the C4 still looking a bit twisted...😟 FRIDAY: I fed them each about a half-gallon of all the good stuff....20% runoff, and soaked back up within 20 minutes. New growth on Candy Canes and C4 looking better now. Candy Canes are really starting to stretch now. C4's look great. Debbie Diesel wasn't shocked at all by her haircut. White Widows are still very unimpressive. Northern Lights is still growing very slowly as well. SATURDAY: I foliar fed them a few times and ogled them.😍 SUNDAY: I foliar fed a few times, but because my temps are lower and humidity higher, they aren't drying out as quickly as before. Checking again tomorrow. MONDAY: Several of them were pretty dry today, but I'm holding off until tomorrow to water. I foliar fed a few times-

TUESDAY 1/15: MuthaPHucking PH fluctuations again!!!!! 😖 I calibrate my 2 cheapo- ph pens everymotherPHucking day and STILL it happens....PHuck the dumb shit....I just ordered a $100+ Apera tester.👈 I watered everybody with about a half-gallon of water, plus heavy boomerang and calimagic, some bud candy, some terpinator, some kelp me kelp you, some armor silica, and the bloomers got their first dose of open sesame..no big bloom or grow big for anyone. WEDNESDAY: I foliar fed them a few times and calibrated my new ph tester. The big C4 is branching like crazy...the little one is flowering now..hopefully she stretches really well too. All 3 WW's have started flowering. I FIM'd the last 2 WW's today, so everybody's done. Debbie Diesel is looking strong..big thick main stalk. The Northern Lights is also showing me some vertical growth now. All 3 Candy Canes are budding up nicely.👍 FRIDAY: I fed everybody about a half-gallon and foliar fed them a couple of times. SATURDAY: Foliar fed a few times The Candy Canes have stretched so much that I may need to raise my lights a little..they are about 16 inches from the tops now....monitoring... SUNDAY: Foliar fed a few times Still no sign of light burn on the CC's, so I'm leaving the lights where they are. MONDAY: Still moist..will water tomorrow with my new pump-driven system👍

TUESDAY 1/22: I watered the bigger plants today with about a half-gallon and the little plants with about a third-gallon with added calimagic, kelp me kelp you, terpinator, bud candy, and a little boomerang. I also foliar fed a few times and rearranged the garden. THURSDAY: Everybody is looking good. The Candy Canes are making some nice buds. The smaller C4 is gonna be a purple one, but the bigger one will out-produce her for sure. Diesel and NL are finally starting to stretch a little. The White Widows aren't stretching much at all, but budding up well. FRIDAY: I fed everybody about a half-gallon of ph'd water with the appropriate nutes today. The little ones got some open sesame, and the bigger ones got their first dose of beastie bloomz. SATURDAY: I took a few photos, but was too busy to garden today.

TUESDAY: I didn't have access to the garden for about 24 hours and during that time a power strip breaker popped and I lost the main light, oscillating fan, intake fan, and main exhaust fan. The two 85w individual bar lights and the duct booster fan I use as a secondary exhaust in the top of the tent were all that was running normally...and the evaporative cooler which was basically functioning as a fan for half the time because I wasn't able to refill it. Because the smaller (240cfm) exhaust fan runs at all times, negative pressure was maintained and very cold outside air continued to be passively drawn into the tent. This caused the tent temperature to stay around 64f the entire time, with 60%RH...acceptable, considering how bad it could have been. So, I lost a full day of glorious "sunlight" over the majority of the tent..😒 I'm calling it a cold/cloudy day in paradise.. A vehement warning that "Winter is coming..."😮 The Candy Canes still got the normal dose of uMols, and the C4's got about half of their normal dose. Everybody else was under a big, dark cloud.😕 Obviously, they didn't need watering today... WEDNESDAY: Late last night I gave them each about a third-gallon of water with beastie bloomz, terpinator, bud candy, and calimagic. Today, they all look very happy. 👍 THURSDAY: I rearranged the garden and foliar fed them a few times today. I might actually employ a SCROG net this go around...canopy is leveling out pretty well despite the different germination start times and growth rates.👍 FRIDAY: I fed them about a half gallon each with all the good stuff. I foliar fed them a few times and defoliated some older growth from most of them. SATURDAY: I plucked off some dead shit and foliar fed the younger plants. I'll mist the older plants with plain ph'd spring water for a couple days then that's it for them. Buds are maturing now and I ain't trying to rot them. I adjusted my fans a little so as to have better airflow across the canopy as well. SUNDAY: Late last night I observed obvious signs that my lights were too close. Mainly just on the C4's...the older they get, the more sensitive and intolerant to intense light they become. But I also see upward tip curling on the tallest Candy Cane and on an Amnesia. I raised the lights about 3 inches and elevated the shorter plants a bit to make up for it. I rearranged the garden today (again). RH has been steadily high and they didn't need water today. Maybe tomorrow. I used some bamboo stakes to separate the colas on CC#6. Not enough light getting into the middle of the plant. I foliar fed the little ones and "rinsed" the older plants with a light mist of plain ph'd spring water. MONDAY: I watered everybody with about a third-gallon of ph'd water plus terpinator, calimagic, bud candy, and armor si. There's been a heat wave where I live and I'm fighting high temperatures again... I'm having to add ice to the evap cooler more often to keep it below 90f...cold weather coming soon (I hope🙏)!!

TUESDAY 2/5: I did a photo session today and inspected everybody ..up close and personal. The Candy Canes will probably only get fed another couple of times. They are pretty far along now...about 30% cloudy trichromes. The light burn will likely kill off most of the foliage on the C4's and CC's, so it's a race against time. I fed them about 1/4 gallon with all the good stuff. FRIDAY: I watered them and included some calimagic, cha ching, bud candy, bembe, and terpinator. This might actually be the last dose of any nutes for the candy canes (except bembe)..they seem to be finishing up quickly now and I want to flush them for a couple of weeks if possible. That shit is soooo tasty!😋 SUNDAY: I rearranged the garden and took some photos today. Wow...ridiculous stink factor!!😳 MONDAY: I fed them about a 1/3 gallon each today. Everybody got cha ching except for the smallest WW, the NL, and the Diesel. They got beastie bloomz. This was absolutely the last feeding for the 3 Candy Canes and for the pink C4. I'll start flushing them on Wednesday.

TUESDAY: This crop is really starting to reek!!! WOW! I've got 2 inline carbon filters, a carbon filter air purifier, a small o2 generator, and 2 ionizers going and still I smell it as soon as I enter the room! (#tooMuchTerpinator)😳 WEDNESDAY: I flushed C4 #4 (pinky) today with a few gallons of ph'd spring water and sledgehammer. I watered everybody else with about a third gallon of ph'd water with bembe, calimagic, terpinator, and bud candy. The Candy Canes will be fed again once in a few days, then they'll be flushed...not sure about the purple C4. The NL and WW's all have another week or two to go before flushing. THURSDAY: I just sat and stared at them for about 15 minutes and plucked some dead shit off of them and removed a few older fan leaves to try and get more light to their lowers. I'm trying out some little tablets designed to be used in planted aquariums to increase available CO2. I bought 180 of them for about $10. Every day I'm putting 10 of them half-full jars of water that I spread out on the floor, between plants. They are tiny little tablets, and dissolve very slowly, like mini, slow-release alka-seltzers. I doubt it has much effect, but what the hell...can't hurt. I need an actual CO2 data-logger so I can really tell if it is helping. As it is, I just use a hand-held CO2 monitor right when the lights turn on to get a reading every day and I'm not seeing much difference. FRIDAY: I'll start flush on CC#6 and WW#9 tomorrow. They're ripe and almost ready! I took some photos today...sexy ladies!😍 SATURDAY: I flushed CC#6 for the first time today. I flushed C4#3 for the last time today, but WW#9 had a bunch of new pistils on all her buds today, so she got fed along with everybody else. I'm thinking that I'll start flushing the other 2 x Candy Canes at next watering along with WW#9 SUNDAY: I took a few photos today and plotted their demise...muah ha ha👹 MONDAY: I took some close-ups of a few of the plants I've yet to start flushing, and they are all getting very close. I'd say that WW#9, WW#11, CC#4, CC#5 will get flushed for the first time on Wednesday..they are all at 50/50 cloudy/clear and 5-10% amber now. CC#3, the purple one, is still popping new white pistils every day despite showing me almost total senescence and 50/50 trichs. I'm not sure if I'll flush her or yet or not...😟 Neither the Northern Lights, nor the Diesel are even close to done yet.

TUESDAY 2/19: Tomorrow I will harvest C4 #4 (pinky) and flush everybody else except the Diesel, Northern Lights, and WW#11. It will be CC#6's last flush and everybody else's first. I didn't have an opportunity to take any photos today, but will update tomorrow. WEDNESDAY: Today I flushed CC#6 for the last time and have her under a UVB until she's dry and ready for a day of darkness. I flushed C4 #3(purp), CC#4, CC#5, and White Widows #9 and #10 for the first time. I did a photo sesh on everybody that got flushed...supah sexy!😋 I watered the NL, Diesel, and WW#11 with a half-gallon each including calimagic, bud candy, terpinator, and a little cha ching THURSDAY: I harvested C4 #4 today (pinky)..she had a full day of darkness, so there should have been no uptake at all in the xylum layer. Heavy, stinky buds! I'm hoping she comes in over 65g. I hope that the Diesel's foliage holds up long enough for her to finish strong. The combination of calcium deficiency and light burn really did a number on her... I rotated CC#6 so her backside gets intense UVB rays too. Seeing empty space in my flowering tent makes me sad😟...normally I would have had some new seedlings to take the harvested plant's space, but I'm a couple weeks behind schedule...😖 FRIDAY: I moved CC#6 into the dark. SATURDAY: I harvested CC#6 today. I think she'll finish at about 50g. She's pretty heavy for such a short plant. I flushed CC#4, CC#5, WW#10, WW#11, C4#3 for the last time today...a few days to dry out and get UVB blasted, a day in the dark, and they are done.👍 WW#9 and WW#10 are under the UVB today. I fed the NL, WW#11, and the Diesel with about 3/4 gallon each including cha ching and heavy bembe, bud candy, and terpinator. SUNDAY: I'll be busy tomorrow with life, and I'm not gonna have time to trim up 5 plants on Tuesday, so I went ahead and harvested White Widow#11 (the runt) today She'll finish at around an ounce...maybe a little less...but she was very sticky and stinky. MONDAY: I harvested CC#4 and CC#5 today. I'll do C4#3 and WW#9 tomorrow. NL, WW#10, and the Diesel need water, but ran out of time today...will do it tomorrow. All 8 drying baskets are full of bud, and I still have 5 plants left to go!👌

2/22 - Harvested CC#6 2/25 - Harvested CC#4 and #5 All three plants were super resinous and wreak wonderfully. CC#4 was seeded up on a lot of branches..I never even saw the nanners, so hopefully they were deep inside the female flowers and didn't jizz all over my other ladies.🙏 I haven't spotted any beans until I started trimming on CC#4 today...fingers crossed... I think I'll sow the seeds she produced in the midst of a stand of 8' ragweed sometime in mid-late summer and see anything comes of it..you may have heard of Johnny Appleseed...I'm Silverback Weedseed.😁 I'll update with final dry weights later in the week and post some photos.. THURSDAY 3/2: Final dry weights: CC#4 - 77g CC#5 - 69g CC#6 - 71g Unfortunately CC#4 was only heavier because she was somewhat seeded up. Evidently, she/he/they(?) also pollinated some flowers on other nearby plants...@!#$#%$^ sneaky nanners!!!😖 I'll let it cure for a few weeks before I really dig in, but early samples have me salivating for more!😋

I have a question about what the general consensus is on calculating final dry weights and factoring the amount of light used and square feet taken to grow plants. Do you weigh with stems or without? Total light in tent and total space in tent divided by # of plants?

I don't go for contest. And my stash is way to much already. So, my dry weight is without the stem. I worry about rot, so I dried harder than most people would. My ratio of wet to dry weight is somewhere between 7:1 to 9:1. Its depend on the plant structure. And that is from strains, the type of additives, and the season.

yeah man exactly , so for example in a 4x4 i can fit 9 5 gallon pots so when i harvest my 5 gallon plant i divide the sq.ft.-age by the number of plants in this case 9, total light used is the largest amount of W used in my case 600W. Wet weight is basically everything on the branch, dry weight is without stems and manicured bud. The site calculates the rest for you. hope this helps bro ! 🚀

TUESDAY 2/26: Today I harvested WW#9...super fat colas for such a squatty plant! Her buds were a little leafier than I like, but she was easy trimming and smells quite delectable! Hopefully she weighs in at around 40-50g. I put C4#3 in the dark for the next 24 hours, and then I'll kill her. All that remains are the Northern Lights (which is probably next on the chopping block), White Widow #10, and the Diesel, which will definitely be last. I watered them today with a little cha ching, some calimagic, and a bunch of bud candy and terpinator. I'll probably feed the WW and NL once more on Friday, then start flushing them after a few more days. The Diesel might actually last a couple more weeks before flush. Since I don't have any seedlings ready to occupy the flowering tent yet, I'll probably move the diesel into my 4 x 4 with a 120w QB (3000k), a cxb3590 (3500k) and some 660nm red panels to finish. WEDNESDAY: I snuck up on C4#3 today in the dark and cut her stalk,,she never even saw it coming!😂 She was such a treat to trim..no chance of dropping a branch because she just stuck to my hand..she was so greasy and smells a like putrefied apricots and paraffin! She was a little leafy, so it's hard to guess at her final weight, but I'm hoping for at least 60g- THURSDAY: I harvested WW#9 today. FRIDAY: I fed the Diesel today with all the good stuff, but decided to start flushing both the NL and WW#10. I put a few gallons of ph adjusted filtered water with sledgehammer through each of them. SATURDAY: Inspected trichromes, removed necrotic material, defoliated a little bit to expose the lower branches to more light. Rotated to expose different flowers to UVBs. SUNDAY: Took a few photos and repositioned the UVBs. Debbie Diesel is gonna be a producer!😁

This second run of C4 has been trouble-free and ultra-rewarding. : 1: I was lucky enough to have a pink and a purple pheno in the same grow. Both plants responded perfectly to FIMing. I was worried that they wouldn't because my first attempt at this strain, FIMing seemed to dwarf the plants. The yield was more of what I expected in the first run. I think I'll end up with about 130g-140g from the two plants. I can't describe how unpleasantly wonderful(?) their aroma is...the consensus here is a putrefied apricot and candle wax(paraffin). Really unique and pungent. Both plants were covered in trichromes and sticky-icky.😋 I'll update with a my smoke report and final thoughts in a couple weeks. THURSDAY 3/7: FInal dry weights: C4 #3 - 62g - purple pheno - the greasiest and most pungent of the two - sour C4 #4 - 81g - pink pheno - the best tasting and smelling of the two - sweet Both plants are equally intoxicating (very), but the pink pheno's buds were tighter and break apart perfectly. It was also quite a bit easier to trim. My wife and daughter like the sour flavor of the purple pheno, but I definitely prefer the sweeter taste of the pink pheno. One of my Candy Canes had some sneaky nanners and she pollinated a couple of flowers on the pink pheno, and on one of my Amnesias. I've decided to try growing the F1's resulting from this accident...immediately. I found a couple beans on C4#3 as well..the purple one. Will try them this fall.

WEDNESDAY 3/6: It's looking like I accidentally killed the Diesel...not sure wtf I did..😭 Since she was the only plant still getting nutes and I made up a gallon just for her, I'm guessing that I forgot to adjust the ph on that jug, and my filtered tap water is coming out at about 8.40 these days. In 24 hours, all her foliage was hanging and already looking grey...considering harvesting her tomorrow to try and at least have decent material for making e-liquid. I flushed the NL and WW#10 for the last time today. They are ripe and ready!👍 THURSDAY: I lopped off a couple of the deader buds on the Diesel, but some of them may be able to finish normally.. FRIDAY: I harvested the Northern Lights and White Widow #10 today. Forgot to take photos of the WW..will do it tomorrow. Besides stinking like hell and being super frosty, the NL buds are very dense and heavy!😍

3/8 - Harvested Trimming was very quick and easy. She was very frosty and sticky. I had to clean my trimmers off twice to complete the job. Small plant, but her buds are very dense and heavy. I'm hoping for more than an ounce..maybe 40 grams. 3/13: She came in at 56g dry. Hell yeah! Very dense frosty nuggets with a subtle sour/diesel/lemon aroma. I'll let it cure for a week before I give it a real taste-test, but I did smoke a bud with my wife and daughter as quickly as I could clean the bong. Flavor is a little like turpentine and fresh squeezed lemon. Very intense head buzz mellowing after about 20 minutes into a very relaxing body stone...I'm still riding that high so can't comment on duration as of yet 😁 ...later that same day.. it kept me high for a few hours and maybe longer but I wanted to smoke some more😋.

3/8 - I harvested the last WW today (WW#10). She'll probably weigh about the same as the others. Very sticky and stinky! 3/13: FInal dry weights: WW#9 - 41g WW#10 - 64g WW#11 - 49g Very easy to grow and pretty quick..68, 70, and 77 days. They bushed up very well when I FIMed them, but didn't put on much height for flowering, so they weren't the producers I had hoped for. Maybe I deprived them of red light for a little too long...maybe they just don't like being FIMed and dwarf as a result...maybe they just don't get very big to begin with...can't say for sure. Yield: 6/10 Potency: 8/10 Flavor: 8/10 Aroma: 7/10 Bag-appeal: 8/10 Final thoughts...for freebies, they were excellent! Almost 3 x seeds = 5 ounces of killer bud!: 1: 0

She was about a week or 10 days premature before I accidentally killed her. After trimming off all the dead shit, she weighed in pretty heavy anyway...sad...she had such potential. I'll use her to make some e-liquid, so it isn't a total loss.
