Both OG Phantoms have sprouted. 1st week going to keep feeding 2 to 3 ml of water around the base of the seedling. Next week I plan to up the watering to a half a cup and lower the lights to around 18 to 20 inches unless I see signs of stress. Nutrient feeding will begin when the 1st node is fully formed at a quarter strength to avoid nutrient burns. May decide to hold off until week 3 of nutrients. Will keep it updated!
New week. I will begin this following week, giving updates by day.
8/13 - Gave a half a cup of 6.5ph water to each phantom. No signs of stress or slowing down yet.
8/14 - Smoking a bowl and waiting for the lights to turn on. Won't be much to update since they are still small wizards. Will post new pictures each day. Really want to invest my time into this grow diary. The girls are still soaking the water. No watering needed today. Will check on them through my Wyze camera.
8/15 - Finally just got home from work. Looked at the babies and I'll end up watering them tomorrow once again. Everything is going great so far.
8/16 - Woke up around 2pm. Watered the girls. Still growing fine. Going to take a break today. Will post progress tomorrow.
8/17 - Adjusted the lights to keep the 24 inch distance. Only adjusted it by an inch. Took progress pics
8/18 - No watering today. Posting pics. The girls look great! Wont be much longer until transplanting.
I'm looking for a basic feeding schedule for fox farm nutrients. I plan on using fox farm trio, with cal mag later this grow. Any feeding schedules that you think would work for me would be very beneficial to my grow!
So basically in soil your going 6o want to feed with the nutrients once a week . The other feeding you give during the week should only be ph corrected water . This will allow your plant to fully absorb everything in the medium preventing the root zone from becoming what we call "hot" which will eventually lead to nutrient burns. When adding nutrients its important to remember that the dosages written on your bottles will be for fully mature plants . I would advise that you give 1/4 of the recommended strength and work your way up as your plant needs it . Soil retains nutrients really well and so its important to be careful. I hope this information helps you on your journey ! Happy growing !
14 days old starting today. 8/19/19. I plan on transplanting them by mid week. They have already outgrown the solo cups. 1 to 3 gal pots will come next. I will also start measuring their height by day. These babies will get nutes in the next 2 weeks. I'll start by using fox farm trio with cal mag this run with 1/4 power. I'm currently doing a secret run with random seeds to test my knowledge. They are in the same tent and are currently 4 weeks ahead. I may decide to flip them early depending on their growth this week(flip next week). Stay tuned. I'll post progress pics when I get home from work after 5pm. Have a great day everyone :)
8/20/19 - half a cup of water before work today at 1pm. Took progress pictures. I will be transplanting after work Thursday around 6pm. They have outgrown this home :)
8/21/19 - going to update in the morning. No need to check them out until I get home Thursday to transplant. Cheers!
8/22/19 - Transplanted the smaller(it's actually big lol) OG into a 1 gallon fabric pot with a 50/50 blend of mother lite coco/perlite and fox farm ocean soil. Added some bio root into the mixture and top dressed the bottom roots near the pit. Filled the medium and packed lightly with a quick pick her up and shake gently, so i could loosen the medium. By transplanting a day after being watered, made it for an easy transplant. Roots are healthy just damp :) She should breeze through the transplant. Will keep everyone updated. Tell me your thoughts? Healthy? Opinions?
8/22/19 - Going to transplant the larger phantom OG into a 3 gallon for a bigger yield purposes. Her growth is extraordinary. Let's hope we can keep her speeding through. Will let you know how the 2nd transplant goes... UPDATED* Transplant went smooth. Took 2 pictures of during and after. Nice roots. Watered and now waiting to see if my plants induce shock or not.
8/23/19 - No update for today. Time for them to recoup
8/24/19 - the girls look okay. Will check before work to see how everything is going.
8/25/19 - progress pics posted. Bigger Phantom was ready to be watered again. Need another day for the smaller one. Still good so far. Should top them mid week and put them into flowering this weekend.
8/26/19 - topped the girls today. Nko sign of slowing down. They should be ready to be flipped this weekend.
8/27/19 - Decided I will be flipping them this Thursday if everything stays as is. Will update once I get home to see how their topping has affected them. Need to find a good booster for flowering.
Recommendations?
8/28/19 - got a few more hours until watering time. Still look healthy, will update progress pics. Watered the girls. Going to flip tomorrow at 10am. Will get a good amount of light time then a period of dark. Going to use the last part of the week for the transition.
8/29/19 - 1st 12 hours of dark today. Will check at 10pm for growth.
8/30/19 - No update today.
8/31/19 - Currently at work. Day cycle will be on at 10pm for cooler nights and cooler days. Temp never goes above 80 and sits at a nice 70 degrees at night. Ordered an ac infinity so I can control my humidity to the T. All the other plants in my grow are giving off too much humidity for later flowering which can cause mold and slower growth rates. It will be installed by Monday to ensure this doesnt happen. Will post pictures of the girls. They are currently stretching from the transition and blooming. Will start low stress training them in the next few days!
9/1/19 - the girls are transitioning quite well. Watering tonight. No signs of stress.
9/2/19 - The girls will start LST tonight. Stems are developing everywhere, flowers are developing, and I will start nutrients next week. I plan on using fox farm trio for these two and after their 4th week of flowering I plan on mixing it up with only boosters and bloom with added micro and cal mag. Will update once I get home even further.
9/3/19 - No update. Skipping a watering session before I add first set of nutes. They look green and healthy. Going to use a dose of flower fuel as a bloom booster and then use ph bal. Water, and then add their first actual set of nutrients. Trying different methods of how I water and feed based on looks and stages of life.
9/4/19 - No update. Flowers are developing. Skipped watering.
9/5/19 - start of LST and first set of nutes. Fox farm trio, cal mag, and flower fuel. Used at 1/4 strength and 1/4 tsp of cal mag and a small scoop of flower fuel. Will see how the girls react!
9/6/19 - posted picture updates. LST on a few branches at a time. Also added my other 300 watt led to cover all my girls that arent posted in this diary. Noticed the 1 gal phantom had a stem break from a misshapen on my part. Wasnt paying attention. Should heal back on. Live and learn.
9/7/19 - watered the girls each around 2 cups of ph balanced water. No nutes this round. Moved the light to 18 inches away for my 300w leds.
9/8/19 - No update today. No watering tonight. New week starts Monday. 1 week of flowering/transition down
I've read a lot when it pertains to defoliation. My plan is to wait a week or two longer before I defoliat them for the first time. Any suggestions on defoliation? I understand trimming leaves that block bud sites bud any other advice would be helpful!
No other advice than tucking the leaves that are blocking light to the lower budsite and it is the only reason to defoliate except if you wanna go fancy. Don't remove a leaf that the plant could use if this leaf is not blocking light because it will be used by the plant for photosynthesis
9/9/19 - removed bottom leaves. Were yellowing from no light.
9/10/19 - watered the girls. Bend the main stem for some lst on the 3 gal girl.
9/11/19 - no updates today.
9/12/19 - time to water again most likely. Will check once I'm off work. Will do some lst this week. Major LST and will update pics today. Working on 2nd week of flowering.
9/13/19 - did a little lst early this morning. Watered with 6.5 ph and found discoloration on the sets if leaves on my 3 gal of? Looks like genetics since it's not causing any problems. Will post tonight.
Update: Posted shots. Girls are finally blooming. I found some odd discoloration on one of the ogs and it's on both sides of the girl in the same leaf spot. Not sure if I should be worried or not? Doesnt look like it a problem. Please go to the photo and give me your thoughts?
9/14/19 - No updates.
9/15/19 - LST opening of the canopy. Waiting until 9/16 to give then some nutes.
9/16/19 - Girls are green and healthy. Nutes again on the 17th.
9/17/19 - Watering the girls with some nutrients. Hoping we can speed things up even faster. Ready for dense bud.
9/18/19 - starting to give that kush smell already. Will add raw sweet in the mixture for tomorrow's watering. No signs of nutrient burn.
9/19/19 - watered the girls again tonight. Ph balanced water. Did a little lst since they dont need much. No signs of burn. This strain is SUPER easy to grow so far. Let's see what happens in the next week!
9/20/19 - no watering needed tonight.
9/21/19 - no update. Going to let them starve a little before I kick them off tomorrow night onto their new set of nutes:)
9/22/19 - posted pictures if how they are doing. Last day before the next week roles into play. Starting to see frost and the Lowe leaves are dying due to no light(no big deal/oldest set) going to give the girls some raw sweet with their fox farm nutes. It's time to up the nutes and see how they take them. I'll give nutes on the next watering. Used ph balanced today.
9/23/19 - The girls are still doing good. Noticed slight leaf yellowing on the 1 gallon. Most likely shes hungry. Will let the medium dry out and give her a fresh dose tomorrow along with the 3 gal.
9/24/19 - Looks the be a mag. Def. Added all the nutes. 1/2 tsp of fox trio, 1 tsp cal mag, 1/2 terpinator, 1/4 tsp raw sweet, with a small 1/4 scoop of flower fuel should clear things up!
9/25/19 - looks like I may be right. Cal mag is a good way to clear up any issues. No watering tonight and most likely tomorrow night as well. Did some lst and rotating in the tent. Dropped the light to 16 inches as well. No stress seen at the moment.
9/26/19 - Frost is starting to show. Buds starting to fatten. I believe the mag def. Has been cleared up so far. She looks like shes stopped and I MAY have been correct. No watering tonight.
9/27/19 - Watered the girls tonight and updated pictures. 1/2 tsp of fox farm trio with 1 tsp of cal mag. Added 1 tsp of terpinator with a 1/4 ration of raw sweet for terp profile. Shes starting to smell really good. Noticed the yellowing on the bottom of the 1 gal. Granted it makes no sense since both girls have been treated the same but it could also be the pot size. Granted they should be fine with the added nutrients and how I'm taking care of them :) 4 weeks into flowering today. 28 days! Time to start fattening up!
9/28/19 - so I'm pretty sure the 1 gal had a mag def. Gonna keep giving nutes and it should clear up. Her buds are getting so stinking frosty already! Updated pics for the day. 3 gal got 3 major fan leaves tucked for canopy access. Everything looks super solid
9/29/19 - no update today.
9/30/19 - watering with ph water tonight. No nutrients tonight.
10/1/19 - 1st sign of ripening. Buds fattening and getting frostier each day. Updated pictures. Should be dry enough for a stronger nutrient feed tomorrow to clear up the 1 gallon.
10/2/19 - Tonight should be feed night will check when I get home from work. Going to go with 1/4 tsp of grow now since we are past 4 weeks. Going to add flower fuel this go of nutes and 1 tsp of cal mag to keep them from getting defencies especially since the 1 gal is already working hard on buds and was nutrient starved from the fan leaves showing signs of mag. deficiency. Fed the girls and updated post 10/3/19 since they wake up at 10:30pm.i technically watered them 5 hours afterwards so... 10/3. Anyways. Added nutes and cut back on grow big. 1/4 tsp this time. Added 1/2 tsp of raw sweet this time and flower fuel.
10/3/19 - updates pics..
10/4/19 - Frost pics from the newbie 💨 No watering needed.
10/5/19 - Fed the girls a good dose of nutes. Raised the light back up to 18 to reduce chances of stress for them. Measure the 3 gal. She is 20 inches tall!
10/6/19 - Today is the last day before the next week of flowering commences. Gonna check trichomes tonight. Last I checked we were still clear but could have changed by then :)
Looking for a detailed dry and cure method. I keep asking so I can get more opinions. Was thinking of just using my grow tent for the dry. Hang up side down until dry with temps at 70 to 65. Humidity should stay at a 45 to 50 with help of my ac infinity. Opinions??
Hi @Visions! Yeah, hanging the stems upside down in your grow tent can be a perfect drying process! But you need to control your RH (~50%) and have a continuous temp (20-22°C / 68-72°F). Harvest before the light turns on, for maximum potency & terpenes. Terpenes and THC are degraded by light and heat during the daytime. Keep your trim wastes to make some canna-butter or bubble hash. Also when trimming, take a break every 10 minutes to remove the glue/hash/stigmas from your scissors, this will be your first joint, you can smoke it while trimming! Depending on your environment and weather conditions you might need to increase or decrease the relative humidity, you can use a mister (to increase) or a dehumidifier (to decrease), be warned that a good dehumidifier is quite expensive. Jars are the best way to cure, but don't forget to hide them in the dark, once again light will damage your product. Be very careful about your drying process, check your buds everyday and don't rush it or you will ruin your final product. Too-long drying on the other hand can lead to mold/bud-rot issues, this is why a daily inspection is more than required. Once buds seem dry, put everything in jars for the curing process (grandma's glass jars are perfect), keep on watching the buds frequently, mold can corrupt and destroy your product very quickly, you just need to open the jars 5mins everyday and move the buds for a close inspection + air freshening. Finally, act as a cooker with its fresh products : try a bit of your product whenever you think it's ready, your smoker's skills will help in setting up the perfect curing process! Hope these advices will help you, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊
10/7/19 - Nothing major today. No watering and ended up manicuring my 3 gallon girl some. Just 2 leaves that were dying from no light. 1 game needs more cal mag tomorrow in her feed for sure. Mag. Def slightly showing again. Going to go go 1 1/4 cal mG next feed and then go to 1 for the next 2 weeks
10/8/19 - watered the girls. No other updates.
10/9/19 - no updates. Posted pics. Getting frosty here 😬🌱🤤
10/10/19 - the girls got some nutes today. Starting to slow down their feeding. Went down some on the grow 1/4 tsp, no raw sweet, 1 tsp terp, and 1 scoop flower fuel along with the other regular nutrient line. Shea fattening VERY well. She stinks so fucking bad as well. I LOVE IT! My room/tent smells like a skunk city! If I didnt have a carbon filter who freaking knows! Anyways, 2 weeks from today she will be 56 days into flowering. Next Friday we will start the molasses and ph balanced water flush. When we hit 56 days we will the go another week with just ph balanced water at 6.5 and then chop her around day 63 or 65 which is the regular run time for these girls 8 to 9 weeks big yields/quick flowering. This grow has been by far the easiest. I understand quality genetics over bag seed and the differences between them not to mention the growth from seed has been far too easy I must say. I am really enjoying this grow. Enjoy more updated pics!
10/11/19 - Updates are going to start slowing down but details will always remain due to the sheer fact I believe in details. No one can truly learn from a grow/how to grow if all you put is "watered them" everyday. I believe in teaching others and learning myself. Will check them once I get home. Getting fatter everyday.
10/12/19 - No updates. Girls are getting fatter and more hairs are turning orange. The time is coming!
10/13/19 - No updates today. Girls are doing great!
10/14/19 - manim baked. Time to feed them. Going to start flushing this week! Enjoy a video :) UPDATE* Life happens and we make mistakes. Little too much to drink with a good smoke and a long day at work.... ended up not finishing putting my girls all back in the tent so they were out for a few but only interrupted with light for 3 hours.. Not a big deal since we are this far but live and learn.. Rule 1. Dont get shit faced while taking care of the girls 😂👌😅🤦♂️💁♂️ Anyways will take pictures tonight and then feed the girls.
10/15/19 - watered the girls tonight. No signs of slowing down! Buds fattening and ripening.
10/16/19- updated pictures. Checked the buds. No feeding tonight. Trichomes are mostly milky with a few clear and a tiny amount of amber. Should be around next week when we hit 8 weeks of flowering, we will then determine harvest week. Shooting for 2nd week of November. Girls should be around 11 to 12 weeks in flowering.
10/17/19 - Watering time and updated pics. Milky and clear with a amber here and there. Shes close but needs I'd say 2 weeks more then a flush. Harvest is close. Her buds are getting fat 👌
10/18/19 - Updated pics Day 50. I'd say 2 weeks from now I'll begin flushing. So by mid November these guys will be dried and jarred 💨
10/19/19 - no watering needed. Buds are looking good. Hoping for 3 oz between the 3 bf phantoms. 👌 seeing more cloudy, amber here and there. I believe by 8 weeks we will begin flushing for 1 to 2 weeks. Then 48 hours of darkness before their chops. Will start setting up my tent for drying once it gets closer. Want to keep the rh at 50 to 52 while keeping the air at 70 to 68. I want them to slow dry and depending in how we run the tent, i will trim either on day 3 or 7. I want to give them 10 days of drying for a good fluffy cure. Top shelf bud is the goal for my first phenos.
10/20/19 - Fed the girls. I think this may be the last week and a half of nutrients then flush.
10/21/19 - I believe this week will be the final week of nutrients then straight to a one day terpinator/molasses feed, then molasses, and then straight oh water until harvest. Her buds even on the 1 gal are looking nice and frosty. This strain definitely looks like she could yield more if she was mainlined.. if the end product ends up being worth the grow I seriously might do it.
10/22/19 - Hairs are almost 50% dark and trichomes are almost all cloudy. Very few clear left with a slight amber amount. Next feed with be the start if the flush.
10/23/19 - 3 gal is almost ripe enough. Going to flush until harvest for her. 1 gal isnt as fat but slightly frostier. Going to give her another boost then flush as well. Feeding should be tomorrow. Should have both phantoms harvested by next week.
10/24/19 - Give or take the 2 phantom OG's are 8 weeks old today or 56 days into flowering. They have less than 2 weeks to go IF that. Flushing from here on out while they finish fattening and ripening. She smells like sour diesel, spice, and berry. Very strong terp profile and fluffy looking flowers. If I decide to grow again I'll definitely use hid grow lights in flowering and hst them. Will yield so much more due to my slip ups of being high lol.... I've already noticed the difference on how HST affects here. It affects her significantly in a good way. For instance I slightly broke a main stem near the main stalk. Left it to heal and in flowering the buds and growth are obviously much bigger than the one stem that wasnt affected. I will also make sure her vegetative state is in perfect sync before I flower here. I sort of rushed this grow to get some bud in my stash. 1st growers eagerness gets the best so that hurt my yields when I could have just went to HST from the start. Live and learn 👌 UPDATE* She was flushed with molasses and 1 tsp of terpinator. Next feed will be bush doctor and ph water and maybe molasses again or the chop. 👍
10/25/19- we are past the 8 week marker. By next Thursday I believe I will chop them. If not next weekend. Will dry some in the tent. Slow dry to preserve terps. Will do a regular 7 day dry in a closed cardboard box with ventilation as well. Hoping for 2 oz from these 2 phantoms 👌
10/26/19 - Girls a losing color in their fans. SO CLOSE to harvest. Uploaded the last video before harvest enjoy 👽
10/27/19 - No updates today! Girls are ripening up.
10/28/19 - No updates I believe this will be the last full week before harvest.
10/29/19 - Noticed smaller fans near top of buds on the 3 gal getting some curling. Granted it's near the end of flowering so it could be just genetics especially with the 1 gal showing no stress. Also could be the leds affecting the top leaves. Moved the light back 2 more inches just in case so I dont mess with my buds 😬 Other than that we are seeing cloudy cloudy and amber are popping up. May be harvesting the 3 gal monday and the 1 gal next weekend. 3 gal is a lot fatter and riper tha. The 1 gal. Could be genetics? Pot size? Slight difference in light distance due to the size of the plant?(like 4 inch difference, shouldn't be an actual issue). 1 gallon tho looks a lots frostier just less fatter. Will keep monitoring though. Love this grow :) updated pictures as well! It's also been raining outside which has caused the humidity to spike some. Thankfully my in line fans are taking care of it keeping the max humidity at 60 and lowest 45. Not an issue at this point. Raining will be gone by Thursday so we are good 😬😎
10/30/19 - Girls are really ripening. Really noticed the 1 gal fatten on her main colas. Feels like it happened overnight! Updated pics! Girls are smelling strong and lush! Next feed we will begin flushing. 👽
10/31/19 - Flushed today. Buds just look nicer everyday :) Going to let the medium dry out and flush again then most likely the chop!
1/1/19 - Ripening. No real updates today. Trichomes are cloudy and amber more visible. Any day now. Just waiting for 1 more flush :)
11/2/19 - No pic updates today. Girls are fine. Waiting for the medium to dry out.
11/3/19 - Day 65 of flowering today. Next week starts tomorrow(week 10 of flowering). Will end up having a day or two on that week then off to the chop 💇♀️🤘🙏 TBA
11/4/19 - No updates. Medium still wet.
11/5/19 - Last flush will be today. They will get one more 12 hours of light then will be induced into darkness starting from 10am on 11/6/19 to around 3pm Friday. This will stress the girls in a good way and increase trichome production and ripening for their final 36 hours or so. Very excited to try these nice flowers 😬
11/6/19 - Turning the lights off after 10am today completely. Will hang the line for the buds to hang in the tent. Will use an evaporative mister for the first 2 days then the tent at 55 to 50 rh with temps at 70 to 66 degrees. Shooting for top shelf bud!
11/7/19 - Girls are drying out. They got their last day of light today. Lights will be off till 3pm on 11/8/19. So give or take 30 hours of darkness then the chop! Update final pics for this week!
This strain grew without my help. You could literally pour bleach on them and they would be fine. 😂😂(sarcasm)
Phantom OG is a Sativa dom. hybrid that derives from a cross between og kush and phantom cookies. This strain grew extremely well with no problems or backlash from training or stress techniques. This girl coats herself in resin with a huge terpene profile of walnuts, diesel, and a berry undertone to finish. Buds tend to be a moderate size with good trichome production. If you're looking for a strain with good flavor and a high to kick out your thc tolerance, then this is the strain for you! Barneys Farm delivers in producing high quality genetics for cannabis enthusiasts like you and me 👽
UPDATE* Smoking 1 month cured bud. Bud is compact and dense. Smoothest bud I have EVER smoked. Not due to my grow but just due to the strain in general. This strain is the tastiest smoothest smoke especially in a pipe or bong. You wont be coughing and you'll be wanting more. Sure good flushing helps but this beyond GOD. Update strain 9/10*s. Heavy cerebral high with a moderate body high. Helps with depression, insomnia, anger, stress, appetite, and so much more in smaller increments. Damn I'm gonna be buying more of this 🤘
Wanted to give a shout out to everyone that helped my first growing experience. I believe I have learned so much from all 3 growing experiences especially as a first timer. Good genetics are where the REAL dank comes from. Barneys Farm did not disappoint. These buds grew so smooth I felt like a master grower. I believe this strain could get even bigger results with the right training. I will definitely grow this strain again in 3 gallon pots with lots of HST. With minor training she turned out pretty swell.
The Grow: Growing this strain as I mentioned is practically a damn joke. She responded so well to growing in a solo cup(weeks1-3) that I practically gave her a few ml of water out of a dropper every other day and sometimes 3 days without water. As she grew, I gave some minor training, topped them, and tucked some leaves. I believe with the right training and an extended training regiment in the vegetation cycle for this strain, you could kill yields with this frosty/fast flowering strain. Any defencies I had were quickly cleared with cal-mag. She never actually ran into any problems besides some light burn due to the LEDs being too close in super late flowering. As she grew, her leaves looked more vibrant each day. Her buds simply swelled over time and became so frosty that I have no idea what I am in store for.... She got a good scent around week 3 in flowering and every week after that became more dank smelling each day. She smells like nuts, citrus, skunk, and lemon zest. I believe this strain is a hit when it comes to growing. Overall I'd give her a 10/10 out of any strain I've grown for now. She responds well to any training, nutes, and transplants. This is by far a strong resistant strain. She smells good, grows strongly/quickly, and hopefully the smoke is as good as she smells or eventually tastes. The phantom og is an easy growing strain as I've mentioned several times. I want to also try a better nutrient line(fox farm)for increased results. Not downing the ole OG fox but there is a new line of nutes now days. Until next go on these girls🤘🤤😎
The Dry: These buds are 1 to 2 inches thick. Nice and dense. I love the aroma of citrus and hops they give off. We are currently on day 2 of drying and I can tell yah, these buds smell NOTHING like chlorophyll. This strain is super powerful with terpenes. I believe the cure is gonna give a knock out smell, that's how strong it is. As she is drying, I am drying her at 66 degrees which is nice and cool, a small USB fan at the bottom of the tent. The fan was pointed outwards for the first 2 days. Now going to have it blowing more inwards to the wall to give a little less airflow for 1 to 2 more days the rotate back for a finish on the dry. So far the drying is turning out really pleasant and easy. Day 4 of drying and the outside of the buds are starting to crispn up. Another 2 or 3 days and she should be fully dried. We are now dried and jarred. They are crispy on the outside and the smaller stems snap. They will continue drying as we burp the first couple of days. Ended up taking the buds down at 5 days. Ended up being perfect for these dense nugs!
The Cure: We are idk how many days into the cure. Probably 3 to 4. My roommate and me are taking a smoke now. She weighed at 2 oz give or take. Not the biggest outcome but total harvest between 5 plants all together that includes GD not included, 7 oz which I cant complain. Learning that bigger yields will come from better training. I did however get the sticky icky/trichome regiment down on this girl. I will post more pictures once I get to 2 weeks into the cure. I will say her buds are so good damn sticky. Excuse my language haha but let's be honest, this shit is dried and being rotated/cured and it's what I'd call the sticky shit you'd wish you'd had. 10/10 on quality bud Barney! 🤘 curing is still going well. Very sticky buds as I mentioned earlier. We are weeks or close enough to say these buds have cured up nicely. They have mainted an easy 61 to 62 rh after the first burp. I really over thought this and now its time to perfect the process! The buds turned into hard dense fluffy nugs.( no commas needed).
The Smoke: When you smoke this strain, you feel an earthy taste that initially hits your throat with a hint of diesel on your tongue. Other flavors include berry and nuts which are very prominent in the smoke. The high hits you with a very dry mouth and a slight blur to your eyes. You get a sense of relaxation and happiness with short giggles every now and then. We loaded a huge kied bowl from some of the bowls ard my roommate and I were absolutely blazed. I smoked both phenos and the one phenos that frosted more than she fattened, really knocked me on my ass. 9/10 for a delicious smoke and potent high. The high is perfect for regular smokers especially when you want to change it up. The smells is also amazing in the jar with that nutty, berry, and diesel undertone. As the high hits you with all it's great effects, it hits with a moderate body buzz and strong head high. You'll notice that you cant speak full sentences all the time or you blank out and forget things. Phantom Og is a great evening smoke because once you let the high start climbing down, you start the feel the sandman on your eyes. The highs greatest focal point is the sense of focus. I AM NEO. You may not be able to dodge a bullet but you will kill some time lol. As long as you keep puffing however, you'll always be in a wonderful state of mind. 👽🤞👌
Ups and downs: The ups and down with this grow really derive from my own techniques or any issues or "ups" I had during the grow. Genetically speaking, I had two different phenos of phantom og. The 3 gal fattened much quicker and showed a significant amount of frost while the 1 gal pheno showed double the frost but not as fat of buds. I dont believe this to be a pot size difference obviously. This wasnt a problem but instead I was able to try two different phenos/potency levels based on the new amount of trichomes on the smaller gal. The strain grew extremely well even with higher heat levels and even lower humidity levels during the grow. I never noticed defencies throughout the grow besides the fast amount of water these girls can drink! Make sure you feed these girls nutes in week 3 or 4 or at LEAST start. You'll noticed rapid nitrogen defencies later in growth or any other common decency if you dont start the nute regiment early. I used lst as it shows in the diary. I didnt do much besides topping and pulling some branches but I did learn she responds well to hst. During the veg. Period, I accidentally snapped two branches off each node. Just enough to snap the skin. She recovered quickly without any help(duck tape included) and in return you could see bigger bud growth on the affected branches VS. The branches that were not affected. Phantom Og also produces moderate size buds and can create heavy yields with this training method. This was one of my only downfalls but this grow was for experience. I want to thank everyone for tuning in to my grow. The bud as I said is great for experienced smokers with thc levels of 18% to 24% and a flavor out of this world. After a full report, I will be updating this strain to 9/10. Thanks for looking 💨🤘
UPDATE* 12/9/19 MY FIRST, growing experience won 3rd place in the November 2019 Newbie of the month contest. Thanks everyone that followed and liked 🙏 2020 is going to be a beast🤘
UPDATE* Nebula of @growweedeasy has featured this diary in the 2019 Edition article on growweedeasy.com Thanks everyone for the support☺️
you can look into my diaries " cookies for me or " the big green one for soilmixes, benefical drinks and some more. calcium, magnesium, humic acid, silica molasses are basics for every living organism, to stay healthy and strong. Using an own mixed soil is a ggod basic to grow successful.
if you grow photoperiods , you mostly need no vegetation fertiliser, because you repot until flowering comes, then in the transistion to flower and in beginning of flower you may need fertilisers with NItrogen, and in flower a blooming fertiliser and later a booster.
@Visions,mixing that rich foxfamsoil with coco sounds clever to me.give your girl " new shoes" she deserves it. and as i mentioned i wont feed that girl until she shows it. but surely around preflowering/ switching to 12/12.....just watch her. and get any booster with around 8-12 p+k for the later flowering ( around 3rd week of floweruntil flush)
Hi @Visions! Yeah, hanging the stems upside down in your grow tent can be a perfect drying process! But you need to control your RH (~50%) and have a continuous temp (20-22°C / 68-72°F). Harvest before the light turns on, for maximum potency & terpenes. Terpenes and THC are degraded by light and heat during the daytime. Keep your trim wastes to make some canna-butter or bubble hash. Also when trimming, take a break every 10 minutes to remove the glue/hash/stigmas from your scissors, this will be your first joint, you can smoke it while trimming! Depending on your environment and weather conditions you might need to increase or decrease the relative humidity, you can use a mister (to increase) or a dehumidifier (to decrease), be warned that a good dehumidifier is quite expensive. Jars are the best way to cure, but don't forget to hide them in the dark, once again light will damage your product. Be very careful about your drying process, check your buds everyday and don't rush it or you will ruin your final product. Too-long drying on the other hand can lead to mold/bud-rot issues, this is why a daily inspection is more than required. Once buds seem dry, put everything in jars for the curing process (grandma's glass jars are perfect), keep on watching the buds frequently, mold can corrupt and destroy your product very quickly, you just need to open the jars 5mins everyday and move the buds for a close inspection + air freshening. Finally, act as a cooker with its fresh products : try a bit of your product whenever you think it's ready, your smoker's skills will help in setting up the perfect curing process! Hope these advices will help you, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊
v-man - looking on point bro - tres healthy, still phattenin up and still throwin out pistils.
hence....patience grasshopper - wait until pistils appear to be eating themselves [then check trichs]...a little way to go yet judging by the pics. you will be rewarded!
👊💀👊
@Visions,
make sure u looking at the trichs on the bud as oppose to the sugar leaves - 2 weeks min me thinks [i could of course be way off the radar!!]
👊
@Visions,
darken yes...but they'll literally do u turns and try and go back from whence they came - thats when to get the loupe / high res camera out and check trichs.
Ooooh buddy, I'm stoked for you! At the finish line and looking great. Cant wait to hear how she tastes after you dry them a bit! I'll be doing the exact 36 hr plunge into darkness as well. I hear it really works👍. Have fun trimming and appreciating your fine work, man.
Cheers!😄
@@GreenHeart420, man for doing hardly any training if that, they turned out really nice. They smell absolutely amazing. Such a pungent citrus smell. Should be worth the smoke when they are finally chopped this week🤘
@BudXs, appreciate it man! Later on next year I'll invest into a 90x zoom sony camera and get some real good pics! Until then gonna stick with the phone 😂😬😅👌💨
@@BeanswithPork, I know dude! These freebies are killer! I'm certainly going to get another set of these girls and train them with a long vegetation state and increased nutes. Definitely smell amazing and probably the prettiest bud I've seen yet!! Definitely cant wait for the high and taste 💨👽 thanks my dude 👌
Great job up until now, Visions. That plant is beautiful. Bravo.
Barney’s Farms seems like a really solid company judging by the one strain I’ve done and this one you’ve experienced.
@@BeanswithPork, yeah man these freebies are fantastic. I'm definitely going to grow this strain again but with a lot more training. I'm eager to see the end results🤤😁
Love the metal playing in the background of your video what band is it if you don't mind me asking. Listen to heaps of metal but can't pick what band it is?? Plant looks tasty as well👌
@mr_h_kovert, oh man... she smells like berry and spice she also has a hint of skunk as well. Very strong and depending on the harvest I may regrow with mainlining. I'll update more photos tonight. 👌
Visions
