First off I want to give a big thank you to Katrine and Quebec Cannabis seeds offering me the opportunity to run some of their genetics.
Merci Beaucoup!!
Ophelia was a pleasure to grow. She performed well at all stages of life. However I need to make a few adjustments in the future because she had some yellowing leaves near the end. However the senescence happened at a pretty slow rate all the way to the end. At the end of the day flower is the prize not fan leaves.
She also took a fair bit of abuse and still never skipped a beat.
All in all I’m very happy with my results and can’t wait to give it a proper taste.
Thank you for being in my life and providing me with this beautiful harvest Ophelia.
RIP

This is my first proper run with Gaia Green. I think it performed well. I probably need to make a few adjustments to my feed routine but that will come with more experience. Definitely going to be trying this again.
Welcome back amigos, here we are we’ve been through eleven weeks of flower and I think we’re ready to harvest!! Thank you all who’ve come checked out the grow. I appreciate you all!! Let’s get in it!! Vamos a ver!!
FRIDAY - Day 120
17 January 25
- Harvest day WOOT WOOT!!
- I had a hard time getting drying conditions right for Helena.
- So for Ophelia I’m going to use my flower room and hang to dry in the flower tent.
- I bought a new humidifier to control the lung room and blocked the heat in that room.
- Currently it’s about 19.5 degrees C at 56% humidity.
- I also decided to not strip the plant too much of her fan leaves for the drying process. Hopefully it will help slow down the rate of drying.
- However for now she’s hung to dry and like they say in the military now hurry up and wait for it to dry.
- Will come back to update the trimming and packaging process.
* Put one gram as wet weight. Not a metric I care for so I don’t do it. Dry weight is all that matters.
@luvurgarden, thank you for the kind words I really appreciate it. My drying conditions look on point at the moment so we’ll se how she goes once she’s dry.
Man you are doing a great job with these girls the organics that you have chosen are definitely doing their job... Both of the ghost train Haze look really good very interested to see how they differ from each other.. bravo 👏😎 those are some healthy plants.. I wish my plans look like that right now.. Maxi Bloom will bring me there again 😂💪
@Hempface86, yeah at the moment Ophelia is definitely looking pretty good. Helena has started showing some signs of deficiencies in the oldest lower leaves. But yeah for the most part things definitely have gone well. I’m just loosely following what mr Canuckgrows does. I’m still definitely learning as I go along. But I have my plan and I’m not going to deviate much from it and we’ll see how they look in the end.
Looking good! I’ve been thinking about grabbing a hlg B spec for veg. Do you notice any differences? Is it worth the money? Or just stick with Diablo for the full
@BEACHBUDZ757, thanks for the kind words and checking out my grow man. Yeah I always start my seedlings off under the B spec light for the first three or four weeks then I switch to the HLG 350R in my 2x4 tent for more veg time. I’ll start flowering in my 2x4 and then after two to three weeks I transition them into my 4x4 under the scorpion diablo to finish them off. Honestly I’ve seen Dr Bruce Bugbee talk about lighting and he says there’s not much evidence that blue light does or doesn’t do anything extra. I mean light is light and as long as the plant is getting the proper PAR and DLI for the stage of lifecycle that plants will grow. I do find that the blue light does keep them a bit shorter and bushier with tighter internodal spacing. I wouldn’t say it’s necessary to have B spec, but I use it anyway.
@Hempface86, yeah this grow is working out fairly well. I had thoughts of aborting this grow entirely the other day just so I would have one less thing to deal with. As you know my dog isn’t well and I’m struggling to keep shit together in my home life at the moment.
They look awfully similar which is a good thing it's nice when you get the same strain from different breeders and they grow identical... I'm sure their personalities will come out soon enough to separate the two of them.. good job brother
@Hempface86, yeah I’ve been shaping and training both plants the exact same way. They both have grown at the same rate except Helena is just a little bit bigger than Ophelia. They already show their own uniqueness, I can tell them apart from each other. Even if you were to try to swip swap them around I’d be able to tell you who is who. They’re my babies.
@BarneyRumble420, hey man!! I appreciate you stopping by, checking out my grow and dropping some kind words. Thank you very much. I have some high hopes for this run.
@Hempface86, I think it’s going to be fun. It’s not really about who will be best but to see the differences between both strains that are the same from two different breeders.
