-Very good head high, could be due to the fact that I had to harvest a little early due to the PWM. Sits you in the couch a bit but doesn't slow your brain down at all. I've found that it locks you into a tv show or movie with intense focus haha. All in all I do like this strain so far, I will try to update further once its cured a bit more.
Update: during burping my cupboard legit smells like blueberries, super aromatic! Pretty potent, it doesn’t take much to kick in and when it kicks in oh boy does it give you the perfect he’d high!

-Harvested BC1 and BC2 as there were 10% amber trichomes and PWM was just getting to be too much. Washed them all and removed the fans and it took 3 days after work to get them done, nearly 18 hours.
-So much trimming lol. I've finally finished and got 531g of bud in jars and between 1 and 2 lbs of popcorn bud and trim in the freezer.
-This was a difficult strain to grow and I wouldn't recommend it for outdoor grows in Ontario. PWM was a severe challenge and required constant abatement. Bud rot was also more of an issue with these girls compared to the WWs in the same environment (I probably lost 1 ounce to rot).
-Still it was fun to see how big these girls could get in our bipolar Ontario climate.
Very happy with the final product and and that hard work definitely paid off!
-Going to take a break before I start anything else lol its been a busy time this year and my first 2 grows are finally in the books!
-2019 outdoor grow in Ontario resulted in over 1kg of bud, 4 lbs of trim and popcorn between 4 plants. I’ve made a lot of mistakes and learned from them. Can’t wait to see how I can improve next year.
Thanks @Growdiaries and the community here, it helped a lot!

This is my first outdoor grow and I’m just wondering if anyone can tell me roughly when flowering should start if I live in eastern Ontario

Hi @ButtersStotch! As soon as you will have less than 13 hours of daily sunlight, so in Ontario this will happen by the end of August / beginning of september: http://www.timebie.com/sun/torontoon.php. Happy growing! 👊

Been discovering these little burns and holes on all the plants, Pic 2, 3 and 4. I'm assuming the burns are the precursor to the holes but I'm unsure, maybe they're not related. Any clues as to what this is. I want to stop it ASAP Rocky

Hey there ButterStotch, as you're growing outdoors this kind of "unexplainable" spots will pop . basically its tiny bug bites, you can tell by how they're clustered together. As this isnt really a big deal yet, there's not much you can do, these mysterious bite marks comme and go. If you want you can always add bacilus thungerensis (BT) which should control any potential outbreak. Meanwhile do check your plant up and down, especially under the leaves and the area near the pot. You're looking for aphids or spider mites which will appear as microscopic black dots. If you do find any, i recommend the BT but if not, well welcome to the wonderful world of cultivating outside ! 🚀
ButtersStotchstarted grow question 5 years ago
I believe I fixed my nute lockout a couple of weeks ago. But since flowering has started I’ve been getting a deficiency on the older leaves from the bottom moving to the top. I’m wondering if this is A nitrogen deficiency as I’ve backed off on the nitrogen since I’ve switched to flowering nutes. I’m not really sure how to proceed or if I’m even right.

Hey brother. Hard to tell without some testing, but she looks hungry. Looks like she’s consuming lower growth to support her flowering efforts. The issue could be the pH of the medium causing your plants to not be in the right range and therefore not getting what they need. Only way to tell for sure is to test the run off next flush or feed.
I think your could accomplish this by pushing a pot up on one side with a brick/stone underneath, then similar on the other side. Just need to get something like a Tupperware under there to collect and test. At a minimum test the pH and adjust your next feed accordingly. For example, if your soil is high 6s/low 7s you need to feed with a lower pH 6.2 ish. If it’s in the range you can make more minor corrections to aim for the sweet spot.
Lastly if you can test the EC/ppm of the run off, it can tell you how much the plants are consuming in between feeding and watering.

When using a Apple cider vinegar/water mixture is it ok to spray the entire plant, leaves bud and all to combat Powdery Mildew (PM)? I’m assuming it’s ok and may help prevent the PM from infecting the buds leading to bud rot?

In general, I don't think its all that great of a thing to spray anything directly on the buds. I've never tried spraying my buds with anything so I don't know 100% if apple cider vinegar would harm them. I tried to dig up some information on using apple cider vinegar to kill PWM and found quite a few articles, but none specified if spraying your buds was okay. They all just said to spray down all affected leaves. In my search for info, I did a few other remedies(Baking soda, Milk, Hydrogen peroxide) that did actually mention that you should spray the buds. One person in the comments of one of the sites I was reading stated milk did wonders for their PWM. I will quote the comment here: "the way to use it is as follows dilute 400ml milk to 600ml water allow solution to stand in an open container in the sun for about an hour then spray entire plant, the science behind this is that milk, when exposed to direct sun and air, builds up natural antifungal and antibacterial enzymes that kill the powdery mildew on contact." I hope this helps and good luck in your battle!

Its no issue that the leaves turn purple/ red. and discoloring is no problem too, they are coming near to their end, and " autumn _leaves appear"....... i love that stage very much, the red is from the colder temperatures, and the dicoloration is from the reduced cholorophyll.. some plants turn purple/ red... the discoloring shows you the ripening of the plant

hi i dont now if i already mentioned it... give them a good flush to slove saltbuiltups, after that you can feed them. and food comes to them.. give some sugar/ molasses after the flush too feed bacteria in the soil
after such a long growing period salts like to builtup over the roots, if you flush them out roots can absorb again....

@Mrs_Larimar, he bit one when it was a seedling and stunted it for a couple weeks, I gifted it away and it’s turning out awesome for that person. As for Gunner (my dog) he doesn’t even bother with them anymore. Definetly a good thing!

I dont know if i would wait for so much amber in an outdoor.. if temps are low and if it rains......
I would go for Harvest now..... before mold spreads
But like always... your Decision
But on the other Hand , i think if i look at the overall buds she could develop bigger ones in the remaining time....
How about giving the Girls a roof=?..... ( just look on my previous Outdoor of the Shaman....

Hey brother, nice looking Ontario trees! I figured i’d Toss my 2 pennies in the jar. Reading your diary for the past few weeks, it looks as though you’ve been feeding/watering with a pH of 6. I suspect a lot of your deficiencies are created by too low a pH. In dirt, you should be around 6.5, with some swinging between 6.3-6.8. IMHO 6.0 is way low and likely causing some lock outs.
Have you ever tested the runoff from the bottom of the pots? Another good way to see what the pH of your soil is. I suspect if you get that pH up your girls will be much happier, and you’ll likely use less bites, saving you some coin.
Good luck, flower time ya almost upon us ON growers!

@ButtersStotch, right on man 👍. After that flush, and getting to where our sun is, they will need some food real soon. That pro-mix doesn’t hold it, and from what I can see in the pics, your meri-stems look stretchy. Let the fun begin 🤘

Looking good brother. If you have an 8 week strain they should be done sometime late the week of September 30th in Ontario, the trics will let you know for sure, but that first weekend in oct is always chopping time round here.
Clearly mold and outdoor issues can mess that up, so it’s all up to you. A bud wash will get rid of all your WPM, and if it’s good enough for Jorge, it’s good enough for us 😜

Looking great brother! They are quite shapely ain’t they
Do you plan to or have you considered pruning inside the canopy?
Our fall’s can tend to be well... moist to say the least. Thinning them out will allow more air through them and will help to ward off bud rot. It also has the benefit of allowing the majority of the plants growth, and therefore nutrient uptake, to focus on the main budsites that get way more sun, thus allowing our desired donkey dicks 😆
Regardless, they are looking fine. Bring on the flower power!
