GanjaGecko In den ersten Tagen wurde darauf geachtet das die kleinen Anzuchttöpfe nicht austrocknen. Dafür gab es alle zwei Tage ca 40ml je Anzuchttöpfe. Zu Ende der ersten Woche, an Tag5 wurden die beiden Ladys in jeweils 15L Stofftöpfen gesetzt. Ein Grund für das frühe umtopfen war, das ich mit 2x 15L Töpfen im Zelt eine höhere Luftfeuchtigkeit erreiche, die die Damen in dem Stadium brauchen. Dadurch das das Zelt daneben in der späten Blüte ist, bin ich mit einer niedrigen Luftfeuchtigkeit die das derzeitige Wetter mit sich bringt recht zufrieden. Nur das es für die jungen Ladys in den Anzuchttöpfen mit 40% Luftfeuchtigkeit etwas zu wenig war. Jetzt mit den zwei 15L Stofftöpfen, liegt die Luftfeuchtigkeit bei 55-60%. Andererseits hätte ich maximal zwei Tage später umgetopft. Ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, das wenn die jungen Damen recht früh in ihre Endtöpfe kommen, schneller eskalieren. Ich kann mir vorstellen das die Wurzeln erstmal nicht gehemmt werden und die Pflanze im selben Atemzug wie die Wurzeln anfängt zu eskalieren. Die zwei Ladys haben es sich in der 60×60×160 cm DiamondBox unter der Sanlight Q3W gen.2 mit einer maximalen Leistung von 120W bequem gemacht. Die Sanlight Q3W ist auf 55%=66W gedimmt. Damit kriegen die Ladys ungefähr 400ppfd. Der Abstand von LED zu den Ladys beträgt 40cm. Bei dieser Einstellung bleibt es jetzt bis zur Umstellung auf 12/12. Das Substratgemisch in dem es sich die Ladys gemütlich machen besteht aus ca 80% BioBizz Lightmix und ca 20% Cocos mit Perliten(70/30). Zusätzlich gab es für die Bodenverbesserung -1TL/L Mega Worm - 2g/L Urgesteinsmehl -5% BioChar In dem Topf in dem die Ladys Platz gefunden haben, wurde das Loch in das die Ladys gesetzt werden mit etwas Great White Mykorrhiza und Dynomyco Mykorrhiza bestreut. Auf die Oberfläche gab es 60g BioGrow von GreenHouseFeeding, welches ordentlich in das Substrat gemischt wurde. Für das Angießen an Tag 5 wurde die Substratoberfläche mit einem Drücksprüher/Baumspritze angefeuchtet und dann gab es 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMagPro, 1.5ml/L Alfaboost, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L PureZym, 1g/L BioEnhancer und 0.75g/L Dynomyco Spark als Zusatz. Für jede Lady gab es 2× 300ml. Das ganze zu einem ph-Wert von 6.0. Zusätzlich gab es noch Nematoden mit in das Wasser um direkt am Anfang den lästigen Trauermücken vorzubeugen. An Tag7 gab es 1ml/L SilicRock, 1ml/L CalMagPro, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L Alfaboost, 1ml/L Orgatex und 1ml/L PureZym. Für jede Lady gab es 2×300ml von oben und 100ml in den Untersetzer. _____________________________ Höhe gemessen ab Substratoberfläche WC×BBC 5 cm Lemonite 3.5 cm ________________________________ Licht Abstand: 40cm Watt: 66W (55%) Ppfd: 400 Ø DLI: 26 Ø _______________________________ Umgebung Temp: 21-25°C RLH: 50-60% VPD: 0.5-1.0 kPa

GanjaGecko Week2 // D8 - D14 Both ladies have settled in great in their new pots and are showing healthy growth. The Lemonite is still a bit more reserved than the WC×BBC, or the WC×BBC is just a bit more motivated. Depending on how you want to see it 😄 The Lemonite was slightly propped up so both ladies get equal light. If the growth difference remains, I'll be doing a bit more LST with the WCxBBC. So far, everything is relaxed. ______________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On Day 8, I gave 1ml/L SilicRock, 1ml/L CalMagPro, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PureZym.

GanjaGecko Week3 // D16 - D21 On Day 17, the WeddingCakexBBC was topped and on Day 18, the Lemonite. The Lemonite is developing super evenly; it took a bit to get going at first, but now it’s showing that it’s ready to grow. I’ve placed it slightly lower so that even if it starts off a bit smaller, it still gets the same amount of light as the already slightly larger WCxBBC. By now, the growth difference isn’t as noticeable. Looking back, all the Lemonite grew quite evenly and were incredibly tasty. The yield was also stable, considering they were in 8L pots back then and I definitely didn’t get the best possible results. So, I ordered 3 more Lemonite seeds to have one now and then alongside the WeddingCakexBBC. This way, with the Lemonite, you have a fruity/citrus strain and with the WCxBBC, a slightly stronger strain in the garden. The WeddingCakexBBC received some additional LST in the last few days along with the topping to keep the height difference in check. For this, the shoot is “massaged” and slightly twisted under the first node. This was done 1-2 times a day for the last three days. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On Day 15, there was 1ml/L SilicRock, 1ml/L CalMagPro, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L Orgatex, 1.5ml/L Alfaboost. For both, there was 600ml in the pot and 100ml in the saucer. On Day 17, there was 1ml/L SilicRock, 1ml/L CalMagPro, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L Orgatex, 1.5ml/L Alfaboost.

GanjaGecko Week 4 // D22 - D28 At the beginning of the week, the large leaves were removed so that the lower shoots could get a bit more light. On Day 27, the SCROG net was installed. Unfortunately, there were two small accidents. One of the two main shoots of the WCxBBC broke off while trying to maneuver it under the net due to some clumsy handling. It was secured at the break point with binding wire. We'll see if it makes a comeback. If the shoot looks "tired" in a few days, it will be cut clean just below the break. Otherwise, both ladies are developing wonderfully. I'm especially excited about the Lemonite; the development of the small side shoots is rapid. It just needs a topping and then 2-3 weeks before sending the Lemonite into flowering with a nice, even canopy and plenty of shoots. Unfortunately, reordering directly from the breeder to Germany isn't possible. I also haven't found any other suppliers that deliver to Germany. So it looks like the only option for now will be to bring back some souvenirs from Italy. 😄 ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On Day 22, there was 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.8ml/L CalMagPro, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L Orgatex, 2ml/L Alfaboost.

GanjaGecko Week 5 // D29 - D35 The Lemonite is developing really incredibly well. The side branches and lateral shoots are growing super fast. Unfortunately, during cropping, one shoot of the Lemonite broke off. It was placed as a cutting in soil and a seedling pot and put into the seedling tent of the LemonOrange, hoping that the cutting will root and, as soon as the LemonOrange goes into the larger tent, it will become a small mother plant in the seedling tent and possibly enable a new run of Lemonite, since unfortunately, you can't order seeds from QuantamonSeeds in Italy to Germany. So far, the cutting looks healthy and gives hope for another run of Lemonite. The side branches of the WCxBBC are not in such a hurry as those of the Lemonite. Therefore, the ladies were topped again to keep the height growth of the main shoots somewhat under control. This way, all the smaller side branches can catch up to form a more even canopy. The rest will be handled by the stretch in flowering with some LST. The ladies will most likely be sent into flowering at the end of next week with the change of the light cycle from 18/6 to 12/12, depending on how well both recover from topping and how well the side branches have caught up. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On Day 29, there was 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.8ml/L CalMagPro, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L Orgatex, 2ml/L Alfaboost.

GanjaGecko Week 6 // D36 - D42 Both ladies have recovered very well from their second topping, which they received at the end of last week. Today, on day 42, the last liter of substrate and a few additives went into the pot. Since these are organic additives, it takes about a week for the microorganisms in the soil to prepare the first nutrients. So when the stretch is in full swing and the flowering development begins, the ladies will have access to the nutrients they need. The substrate is a mix of about 80% BioBizz Lightmix and 20% Coco with perlite. The ladies have a total of 15L of substrate, 60g BioBloom (4g/L) from GreenHouseFeeding, 15TL Megaworm (1TL/L substrate), 4TL Batguano (1tsp/4L substrate), a bit of Dynomyco mycorrhiza, and a bit of Great White mycorrhiza as well. This way, the ladies can confidently start flowering and are well taken care of. The side branches of the WCxBBC have managed to catch up a bit as planned, and the height difference is now pretty well under control. The side branches of the Lemonite are simply amazing. The Lemonite is developing so splendidly that only 2cm are left under the light instead of 4cm. Depending on how the stretch goes, the last little bit that is under the light will also be removed. All in all, the week has gone so well that today, on day 42, was the last day in the 18/6 light cycle for the ladies. Starting tomorrow, the light cycle will be switched to 12/12, and the wake-up and sleep lights will be turned on. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On day 36, there was 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.8ml/L CalMagPro, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L Orgatex, 2ml/L Alfaboost.

GanjaGecko Week 7/1F // D43/1F - D49/7F In week 1 of flowering, on the first day of week D43/1F, the Sanlight Q3W was dimmed from 50%=60W to 80%=96W. This gives the ladies an average of 500 ppfd. Right in the middle, it's a bit over 550 ppfd. From day 10 after switching to 12/12, the two ladies will receive the maximum power of 120W. Additionally, the sleep and wake light was turned on. A Far Red light strip in the 730-745nm range - the Spider Farmer SUPP-IR 16. This turns on 13 minutes before the Sanlight comes on and goes off 2 minutes after the main lighting starts, simulating sunrise. Then the Far Red turns back on as a little sleep aid for 15 minutes before the Sanlight goes off and continues for 15 minutes after the Sanlight goes out, simulating sunset. The lighting with Far Red LEDs accelerates the metabolic shift after the light goes out. This allows the ladies to recover better at night and start the new day refreshed. Plants have an absorption spectrum that sees Far Red light as an indicator of the onset of darkness. We can take advantage of this fact with artificial lighting. The so-called phytochromes are responsible for the absorption of Far Red light waves. These are a type of photoreceptor proteins that influence a variety of plant growth processes. Phytochromes control processes such as germination, flowering, and photoperiodism, which is the regulation of the day-night cycle. Essentially, there are two types or conformations of phytochromes in plants: the Pr-form (r=red) has its absorption maximum at around 660 nm, and the Pfr-form (fr=far red) at about 730 nm. What do phytochromes have to do with plant lights? Quite simply: by using the Far Red spectrum, relevant processes like photoperiodism can be targeted to optimize nighttime recovery and thus photosynthesis, leading to better yield results. If the low-energy Far Red radiation stays on in the evening for about 10 to 15 minutes longer than the regular light, it acts as a "sleep initiator." Plants switch to their natural sleep mode faster this way and can use the extra time for recovery. (Source: https://www.pro-emit.de/ratgeber/schlafinitiierung-per-far-red/) The ladies have a total of 15L of substrate, 60g BioBloom (4g/L) from GreenHouseFeeding, 15TL Megaworm (1TL/L substrate), 4TL Batguano (1tsp/4L substrate), some Dynomyco mycorrhiza, and some Great White mycorrhiza as well. At the end of this week, a little defoliation took place. Just a small handful. Somehow, all the shoots need to get to the light 😄 With the lollipopping, a bit more generous defoliation will happen when the ladies are already under more stress. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: Day 43/1F had 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMag, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L Orgatex, 3ml/L Alfaboost.

GanjaGecko Week 8/2F // D50/8F - D56/14F In week 2 of flowering, on day 10, the Sanlight Q3W was dimmed up from 80%=96W to 100%=120W. With the small distance of the LED now only 22-25cm, the ladies are getting an average of 900-1000ppfd. A few buds will again suffer from some bleaching at the tips. I definitely need to choose 1-2 strains for the 60×60×160cm tent that aren't so interested in stretching and still produce well. Probably the LED will be dimmed down by 10W again. Without a significant CO² addition, with the remaining stretch, the values will go towards 1200ppfd, and that is a bit too much of a good thing with the additionally very small distance from LED to canopy. So the grow will run with 100-110W to achieve an average ppfd value of 800-900. I guess I'll have to deal a bit with cropping. The first shoot of the WCxBBC has already been gently pressed and slightly bent. With the break of one of the two main shoots, it has shown how well the WCxBBC can handle HST. I think the gentle bend shouldn't be a problem either. If it is, it will just be cut off, and there are still enough shoots of WCxBBC and the Lemonite that would also appreciate a bit more space. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On day 50/8F, there was 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMag, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L Orgatrex, 2ml/L PK 5-8, 3ml/L Alfaboost.

GanjaGecko Week 9/3F // D57/15F - D63/21F In week 3 of flowering, there was a thorough lollipopping for the ladies at the beginning. Some branches were tied down here and there so they wouldn't be directly in the hotspot, hopefully avoiding bud bleaching. I think there's no way around it that some will bleach at the tips. But that's not too bad. Today I removed 2cm wooden stakes that were used at the beginning to balance the height of the Lemonite. I've decided to grow only Indicas or heavily Indica-dominant hybrids in the small tent. I already have one in the fridge. So far, I've refused to grow it because it's from a contest here, where I'm still waiting for the remaining 50% of the prize🤣💪🏼 I'm talking about the strain GrapeGuava from the breeder GranCruGenetics, shoutout to them🤣 In the seed packs, only half of the promised pack size arrived. So my pride is still a bit in the way. (For fairness, one of the four seed packs was correct, which was the pack with the Automatics; the 3 fem-packs each only came with 3 instead of the promised 6) However, GrapeGuava will probably be grown in the next grow or the one after that. I was really looking forward to "Planet of the Grapes" from Ethos, but unfortunately, there's a shortage at the seed banks that deliver to Europe. If anyone knows a seed bank that has Planet of the Grapes available and ships to Europe, please let me know. The other strain that is still on the way is Blackwater from OriginalSensibleSeeds. It's 90% Indica and 10% Sativa. I became aware of this strain through the report from the grower "CanarianGrow92". The buds just looked unbelievably delicious. You couldn't see a bud for all the trichomes! That's almost an understatement. Anyone interested should definitely take a look. Additionally, there's the "problem" that the project with the cutting of the Lemonite, which mutated quite quickly into a small mother plant, went pretty well. The small propagation tent of 40x40x80cm became quite small, as expected, pretty quickly. Therefore, 9 new cuttings were taken from the mother plant, of which the two most vital will be built up and prepared in one to two weeks to directly replace the ladies currently in the tent. This way, we can try the DRYFERM bags for the harvest of the Lemonite&WCxBBC, and the Lemonite cuttings can go directly into larger pots, into the tent, and quickly into flowering. The hope is that the pre-grown cuttings will switch to flowering faster due to their maturity and hopefully the stretch will take a few days less. We'll see. Maybe there will also be four cuttings of the Lemonite in 8L fabric pots each. That would result in a shorter veg phase, and the ladies might end up being 20cm shorter but still fill the tent. A little mix of SOG and SCROG since we're already taking cuttings. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: Day 57/15F had 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMag, 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, 1ml/L PureZym, 1ml/L Orgatrex, 2.5ml/L PK 5-8, 3ml/L Alfaboost.

GanjaGecko Week 10/4F // D64/22F - D70/28F In week 4 of flowering, the stretch is clearly finished. Unfortunately, a bit late. Some buds are already showing signs of bleaching. I've tied down two of the longest branches to the edge; thanks to the wonderfully even canopy, all branches are almost at the same height. What makes me very happy is that the Lemonite and WCxBBC have grown quite evenly. It shows that the estimation was pretty good. The WCxBBC is already developing disproportionately much frost as expected. From the looks of it, the Lemonite is also producing some nice fat buds. Therefore, the Lemonite cuttings that are currently rooting will definitely be sent back into the race. The only question is whether I should go with 2 ladies in 12-15L pots or with 4 ladies in 8L pots, to save a good week of growth compared to 2 ladies and maybe also have a bit less growth towards the end. However, taking care of and watering 2 ladies in 60x60cm is much more relaxed. The hope is that since the cuttings are a bit more mature and already starting to show pre-flowers, they will switch to flowering a bit faster and the stretch will be minimally less. In the worst case, some buds will then have bleaching again. The way the Lemonite is producing, it will definitely go back into the tent afterwards. After that, as mentioned last week, I will continue in the smaller tent with the indica-dominant strains to avoid those height problems in the 160cm tent. On the last day of this week, some large branches were tied down from the hotspots and the LED was dimmed to 90%. That’s still 108W that the ladies are getting and easily still 900ppfd. There are now too many signs of bud bleaching and one leaf from the WCxBBC is already showing signs of light stress.

GanjaGecko Week 11/5F // D71/29F - D77/35F In flowering week 5, a few leaves were removed here and there. The Lemonite is developing an incredible number of buds that suggest they will also get quite thick. Unfortunately, the WCxBBC has slightly longer internodes, so some small buds are a bit lower down and aren't getting quite as much light. In the end, it won't yield as much as the Lemonite. But wow, the WCxBBC is developing a coat of trichomes!!! The leaves will produce some hash. It's a shame that some buds won't escape bleaching. I'm incredibly excited for the coming weeks. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: Day 71/29F had 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMag, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, 1ml/L Orgatrex, 3ml/L PK 5-8, 3.5ml/L Alfaboost, 0.7ml/L GreenSensation, 2ml/L StickyFingers.

GanjaGecko Week 12/6F // D78/36F - D84/42F In flowering week 6, the buds on both ladies have swelled nicely and are developing a wonderful scent. Lemonite has a sweet citrus aroma as expected. The WeddingCakexBBC is definitely more dominant and is slightly further along with visibly thicker calyxes. Unfortunately, it has also been affected by bleaching here and there. I hope that in the next run with the Lemonite ladies from cuttings in smaller pots, which will result in smaller ladies since there are 4 instead of 2 ladies in the tent, they won't shoot up as much. We will see. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: Day 78/36F had 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMag, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, 1ml/L Orgatrex, 3ml/L PK 5-8, 3.3ml/L Alfaboost, 0.7ml/L GreenSensation, 2ml/L StickyFingers.

GanjaGecko Week 13/7F // D85/43F - D91/49F In flowering week 7, the buds on the Lemonite have swelled up nicely! The intense citrus scent is also starting to spread. Despite the headaches from the extreme bleaching, now is the time when all the effort pays off. One main bud of the Lemonite was tied to the side a bit more. Unfortunately, one main bud had to be halved; I noticed early enough that the bud was starting to take on a strange shape. After halving, I took the bud apart and realized that the decision to halve it was the right one. I recently watched the new podcast from Mr. Grow-It and Dr. Bruce Bugbee, where they discuss light bleaching among other topics. What was discovered is that the red light component and a high DLI are responsible, not the extremely bright light itself. Considering the much smaller distance of the Q3W and the very high red component in the Q series, it’s clear why the plants in the Q series bleach a bit earlier. It was observed that when white light without a red component is used and the plants are given "too much" light, no bud bleaching was seen. The same goes for light with 80% red component and low intensity. However, if you increase the intensity with the light that has an 80% red component, you will see endless bud bleaching. Interestingly, the calyxes that are white were never green. They formed directly without chlorophyll or any pigments. That’s why there’s a question of whether "bleaching" is the correct term. Since the calyxes were never green, they cannot bleach either. What was also observed and makes me very happy is that the trichomes of the white calyxes still produce cannabinoids, THC, and CBD in the same amounts as the trichomes of the green calyxes. -YT clip on bleaching: https://youtu.be/9lNrh_ZQ5OQ?si=XCb-a0OKEyuWHGtm -The whole podcast for those who want to listen: https://youtu.be/pArzF7Drj1Y?si=23VNp7nkClp1KQVA In the podcast, they also talk a bit about FarRed and how it causes plants to stretch. From the next grows on, the FarRed sleep aid will only be activated around week 3 of flowering, when the stretch starts to set in, to prevent the plants from stretching further during the stretch phase. Also, a low phosphorus content results in a more compact plant. This means for me that the bat guano with an NPK of 3-15-4 as a flowering booster will only be given in the 2nd week of flowering in the future. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: Day 85/43F received 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMag, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, 1ml/L Orgatrex, 3ml/L PK 5-8, 3.3ml/L Alfaboost, 0.7ml/L GreenSensation, 2ml/L StickyFingers.

GanjaGecko Week 14/8F // D92/50F - D98/56F In flowering week 8, the ladies are a bit less thirsty again and are being watered only about every two days. The cold temperatures outside allow the VPD to be kept wonderfully in the optimal range. The WCxBBC looks pretty final. Presumably, the WCxBBC can already go into the DRYFERM bags for drying by the end of next week. The Lemonite might need a few more days. Ideally, both ladies will come out of the tent to dry together, and the Lemonite cuttings can move back in right away. Unfortunately, the WCxBBC has somewhat smaller buds than the WCxBBC's from my last run. However, the WCxBBC is fully covered in trichomes and this time lets a minimal amount of Banana terps come through in the background. Otherwise, the terps of the WCxBBC mainly lean towards spicy/woody/earthy. The Lemonite delivers very clear citrus terps. I haven't been able to detect any other terps from the Lemonite yet. But you wouldn't necessarily expect that either.😄 ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On Day 92/50F, there was 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMag, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, 1ml/L Orgatrex, 3ml/L PK 5-8, 3.3ml/L Alfaboost, 0.7ml/L GreenSensation, 2ml/L StickyFingers.

GanjaGecko Week 15/9F // D99/57F - D105/63F In flowering week 9, the WCxBBC has matured beautifully. On day 61, after a trichome check, I decided to harvest the WCxBBC. It was ripe enough, and gradually, I need to restock the jars 😄. The harvest update will come when the buds are in the jars. The Lemonite was moved to the center when there was a bit more space, and the shoots were distributed somewhat evenly. The Lemonite has noticeably swollen day by day and is developing purple leaves and flowers in the upper area towards the end of its flowering. The terps strongly remind me of my first grow with the Lemonite. The bud structure also looks similar. I'm really glad that another round with cuttings is following now. The Lemonite will also go into drying by the end of next week at the latest. The Lemonite clones are a bit impatient. 😄 ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On day 99/57F, there was 1ml/L SilicRock, 0.5ml/L CalMag, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, 1ml/L Orgatrex, 3ml/L PK 5-8, 3.3ml/L Alfaboost, 0.7ml/L GreenSensation, 2ml/L StickyFingers.

GanjaGecko Week 16/10F // D106/64F - D110/68F In flowering week 10, the buds of the Lemonite have swollen nicely. The last watering was on day 108/66F. Harvested on day 110/68F. I had hoped that the Lemonite would be ready a few days earlier. However, it’s indicated as 9-10 weeks. A few days less would have been nicer. But that’s just because the clones are pushing.😄 The branches were cut individually and spread out to dry in DRYFERM bags. A few nice pictures came out of it💚 The harvest update will follow when the buds are fully dried and cured in the jars. ____________________________________ Fertilizing/Watering: On day 106/64F, there was 1L in the pot and 200ml in the saucer.

GanjaGecko The first drying was done in DRYFERM bags. Since the Lemonite had to stay a bit longer and the Lemonite clones were already more than ready, there was no opportunity to dry in the tent this time. The buds were placed more or less individually in the bags. The drying process went super stress-free. The bags were weighed every day, and starting from day two, moisture was released properly every day. After 8 days in the DRYFERM bags, I decided to trim the buds and pack them into jars. One day longer would have been fine too. But I needed to refill the empty jars. 😄 I poured the buds from the bags into the trim tray and left them open for about 4 hours. What’s different when trimming after drying in the bags is that since the buds are lying down and not hanging in the air, the sugar leaves stick a bit to the buds. But it’s not a big deal. If the buds are well dried, the sugar leaves can still be removed easily. The sugar leaves are frozen and then thrown into the hash drum with the sugar leaves from the Lemonite to utilize everything. _________________________________ 340g wet weight 61.8g dry weight Temp: 18-20°C RH: 40-55%
