YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I'm finally going for another fun run :) Welcome everyone to my diary. To avoid confusion, I have a Liberty Haze and a G13 Haze in my tent but I decided to seperate the diaries as each plant will have different nutrient needs and I'm gonna care for every plant as an individual. Also, my lazy ass forgot to take germination pictures, so you'll see the first sign of a living plant in week 2 ... Sorry for that :D The description for the first week is a copypasta for both plants: I started them by soaking them in lukewarm water for 20 hours, then putting them in a paper towel. A couple hours later I decided to plant them directly (taproot wasnt showing yet). So, I put them in small 0.25l plastic pots, where I mixed a lot of coco coir with about 15% clay pebbles for drainage and added a slight 10% of some random cheap prefertilized soil I had laying around to kickstart their nutrient needs but not overfeed them. The G13 Haze germinated one day PRIOR to the liberty haze, though I'm not taking this into account when counting weeks / days.

Hello again and thanks for actually reading this lol. So as promised, here are the first actual pictures, taken on day 11. IMPORTANT INFORMATION first - Transplant soil mix recipe: About 20% coco coir About 15% anti-overwatering pebbles ;) The other 65% is prefertilized, biological compost soil which is 94% organic matter, supposedly. Oh and dont forget PLENTY OF WATER.... Just kidding, I tried really hard to not overwater this time. I am only using soil and "equipment" that is freely available at any sort of hardware store nearby, so I'm keeping the expert equipment to a minimum - I've got a china pH pen and a cheap 100x handheld microscope though :) I transplanted today, since I managed to overwater the slight part of cheap soil I added in the beginning. So now after transplanting, the soil is mostly moist and/or wet, but not SOAKING wet as it was before. The Liberty Haze looks like it's gonna be fine, the G13 Haze looks really stressed. For updates on that one, check out my G13 Haze diary :) Updates to follow...

Update Day 21: Had to train the Liberty Haze down yesterday evning; reason being the plant tipping over more and more due to the stem being formed like an S where the roots start. The LST keeps her in place for now and when she is moving to the big 10l pot before flowering im gonna put a little mit more dirt on top to support it. Growth is still not the fastest but its doing fine. Watered yesterday. Also I checked my tap water pH at 7.9. Is that even possible? If yes, I wonder why the liberty haze doesnt look like the G13 Haze...... Update Day 18: Since the top soil was completely dry, I decided to water. I poked some holes in a bottle cap so I can sort of control the water flow and it worked like a charm. I made sure to water the whole pot area but I really just watered maybe 100 - 150ml at most. Due to the anti overwatering pebbles that was enough to produce about 10% runoff. ALSO, if you go close enough you can smell the typical sweet cannabis plant smell. Nothing too wild but I thought it's worth sharing as that means I might have to turn on my carbon filter in a week. Update Day 17: Liberty Haze looks healthy and happy, the top soil is bone dry though. Im thinking about watering a tiny amount but I might just hold back another day so I dont overwater again... So as a small side note, tha plant was really droopy from the transplant and overwatering, and it grew extremely slowly for 2 days. Almost all progress you see in comparison to the last pictures taken are within one day (day 15 - today). As you can see, the draught and therefore oxygen in the soil made the plant perk back up and transition into veg phase. From now on, it's just making sure to water CAREFULLY. I'm waiting for the plant to show signs of thirst, then im gonna water the whole pot for once so the new roots actually grow into the new soil. Liberty Haze is definitely more resistant against overwatering than the G13 Haze ! Updates to follow...

Hey guys if you are reading the below updates, you could do me a huge favor by just commenting your thoughts on whatever I do. Criticism is always wanted, destroy me if you want, but make sure to also tell me how it shouldve been done :) Thanks !!! Day 28: Would you look at that! Both plants are finally looking how they are supposed to look ! Just 1 week too late sort of, but thats the advantage of having photos, you can veg them as long as you want. I am so happy now, I obviously have a close eye on fungus gnats which havent appeared yet but my nematodes are ready to fight them. Also Im gonna keep track of pH aswell as this seems to have been one of the main issues. Day 26: So I decided to transplant into the final pot. I realised that the soil im using is really cheap as I found plastic parts in it... Lets see how it goes, Ill call it an experiment from now on. The plant was rootbound at the bottom of its pot but just the last inch. Everything above was completely loose, probably due to the top soil drying out so fast. Important aswell, I tried to sterilize the G13 Haze potting soil by baking it in the microwave for 2.5 minutes. Didnt do that with this soil. Still gonna add the nematodes as soon as I get them to make sure fungus gnats are not an issue. Also watered with distilled water + biobizz which alone had a pH of 5.5 lol. So no ph- needed, actually ph+ wouldve been appropriate. Lets just see what happens :) VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE on both plants (day 24): So just out of pure curiosity I checked the tent when I came home and there was fungus gnats everywhere, on the pot on the soil on the bottom tray, flying around.... Just not on the sticky traps for whatever reason. Also the top soil dries quickly because it's anti-overwatering pebbles (:D) and there was DEAD LARVAE just laying around... Remember that mom that asked her kids who couldn't remember how to flush the toilet after they took a shit? DISGUSTING!!!!!! So I ordered nematodes.... And I'm officially gonna destroy all microbial life in the soil I'm repotting to by baking it at 70°C for half an hour. Did this from the start last time and didn't have gnats at all..... Don't know why I haven't learned. Day 24: Just a little side note - I wondered if the tight node spacing is due to the LED being 45cm apart from the canopy and indeed it was. I raised the lamp to 50cm for a day and you might not be able to see that in the pictures but the liberty haze grew way more in height than before. And even though drooping (probably water again :D but that watering and following droopiness was planned), the plant looks really good. Like I said, apart from drooping :D Im just happy that both plants arent dead yet, as soon as they actually start to explode I want to train, and I have to transplant in order to do that. So from now on its just a waiting game on when the plants build enough roots to be repotted in the 10l containers. IMPORTANT Updated Day 23: I WATERED TODAY WITH 50% strength recommended Biobizz for week 3 but didnt use as much Bloom as they recommend and no Top max. Also I watered 160ml per plant to get a decent amount of runoff. Runoff pH test resulted in 7.1 The water with nutrients came in at 6.7. So the root pH at the moment should be at 6.9 to 7.0 which would already be way better than the 7.2 to 7.9 pH I measured before. Lets see if the plant actually dies from overwatering or if it appreciates the fact that the soil is moist again. Oh and lets see how my beloved fungus gnats multiply exponentially in that great, wet environment..... >:( Several things: The plant pushed the tie up and I didnt like the leaves being pushed in the ground so I removed it. Plant standing solid enough now though. Also, drooping. Showing slightly yellowing leaves on the bottom so I water and feed with biobizz today. Another HUGE problem I have are fungus gnats. They came with the soil as usual but since the soil is mostly dry at the top, they gather arount the bottom of the pots where I cant really place sticky traps. And its really a lot of fking gnats Im telling you. I really need to think about a solution here.

Day 34: GODDAMN the plant is growing fast now! Just compare day 32 to day 34 I didnt realize that growth until I compared the pictures WTF WTF WTF :D ... I dont know how on earth I managed to get them back to life like this but everything just seems to be perfect at the moment. I will definitely focus on watering correctly and applying correct nutrient amounts. Oh and the lst works wonders, the plants react exactly like I want - pushing side nodes upwards. AMAZING !!!!!! BTW little side note, I decided I want to give the G13 Haze a few days more veg so I'm probably switching around day 38-40ish if the Liberty Haze doesnt grow tooo big in that time. Oh and the fungus gnats are now starting to live but only in the Lib Haze soil, so baking in the microwave (did for the g13 haze soil) definitely works !!!!! And I hope the nematodes do their job aswell :D Day 33: Watered 600ml Water with 1.5ml BioGrow, 1ml BioBloom, 0.5ml Top-Max as per BioBizz schedule for week 5 pH 5.7. Directly after, watered with 500ml of distilled water (pH 7.4) with Nematodes added to it. Also put a yellow sticky trap on top of the soil. Runoff pH measured at 6.8, updated in the diary aswell. Day 32: Plant started to grow vertically again, so I bent it down again... gonna do this until the side branches have approx. same height as the main branch. Day 31: Prepared both pots for LST and LST'd the liberty haze for good. Lower branches start shooting out so I imagine it's a good time. Let's see how far I can go with this but for now I'm happy with my work :) Still planning on switching to 12/12 from the start of week 6 so lets see how the plants look then. Also I seem to have figured out a great watering amount to meet the water every 2-3 days schedule (400ml per plant per watering atm) Heyho guys, the plant is looking so happy. Its not growing that fast visually but it's growing. I plan on doing LST over the weekend on this one so keep tuned :) Watered 400ml Water with proportional amount of BioBizz fertilizer - soil top inch was completely dry. The plants seem to love their new environment. Also, havent seen a single fungus gnat yet. If I see only one, nematodes will be there to fight them. I might add them next watering anyway because they only last a few weeks in the fridge. Thanks for reading and bless up people !

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: (Day 38): Hey guys, so I changed the light schedule to 12/12. This night will be the first 12 hours of darkness. Essentially, Day 39 will be the first day of 12/12, and also the first day I'll count towards flowering time. I am not creating an extra week but I will change this one to "FLO" since its 3 days of veg and 4 of flower. So just for your information, the plant is now transitioning to FLOWERING !!! :))) Day 42: So Ive broken one stem on each of the both plants now. Side branch of the G13 Haze which got removed today, and main stem of the liberty haze which I broke trying to LST and forgot that flowering actually hardens the stems like crazy. So I supported it with wooden sticks and am very certain in wont affect growth that much. But still, sometimes I hate myself. Anyways, removed quite a lot of leaves from the bottom of the plant, as well as the lowest side branches which are basically just stealing nutrients for nothing. Gonna keep the defo up until stretch has finished. Its called lollipopping I think? So yeah, Im going in that direction but I only remove what I feel doesnt make sense keeping. Day 41: Watered 500ml with 1.2ml BioGrow, 0.5ml BioBloom (Gonna keep feeding it but in lower doses). Which is about 80% of the recommended strength for the Grow and 40% recommended strength for the bloom. No Top Max ! Had to use tap water which brought the nutrient solution pH to a solid 6.3 ! Day 40: The top soil for both plants are mostly dry but the soil deeper than an inch has a really nice moisture-oxygen - balance. So I'll wait another day and water tomorrow. I think letting the soil dry out a bit is very important and I tend to water tooooo much and toooo frequently so this might be a good decision. Also, I tried to move the big fan leaves below the side branches. Hope they stay there, because like that, the side branches get way more light and I dont want to remove any leaves right now if not totally neccessary. Day 38: The plant is definitely starting to drink quite a lot. Top soil is pretty dry but I also got a fan moving air around. Still, the pot is noticeably lighter than it was after watering yesterday. The G13 Haze pot is still pretty heavy in comparison and got 30% less water !!! Day 37: Watered 600ml Distilled + Tap water mixed together with biobizz according to their schedule for week 5 and 0.8x strength. I might not add bloom next time because I dont think the plant needs much phosphorous until week 2 of flower. Switch is btw definitely going to be day 40, the Liberty Haze is really growing fast. Roots are already poking out of the bottom drainage holes. Might do some light defoliation tomorrow to prepare the plant for flowering and to make sure the side branches get good light access. Heyho guys welcome again :) Not much going on, except the plant growing really really fast. I am actually just waiting for the G13 Haze to grow a little bigger so I can switch both plants to flower. Like I mentioned earlier, I think day 40 would be a good plan for now. I keep on LSTing and the Liberty Haze reacts great ! It keeps pushing its side nodes, I even saw the first preflowers today with little tiny 1mm long pistils in them :D Also removed one mid-sized fan leaf that was blocking half of the plant from light.

QUESTION TO EVERYONE READING THIS: My tap water is pH 8.3 (yes I know right ?!) Adding the BioBizz nutes brings it down to pH 6.2 - 6.4 depending on the amount which is great. Now, I dont really care about runoff pH that much, doesnt tell me a lot imo but I measured it twice, last time it was 6.8 this time it was 7.1. Is there anything to worry about or is that just irrelevant? Thank you guys :) Day 48: Watered the Liberty Haze with 750ml Water and 2.8ml / l BioGrow, 2.8ml / l BioBloom, 0.7ml / l TopMax which is the equivalent biobizz week 7 feeding schedule with 70% strength on BioGrow & TopMax and 90% strength on the Bloom. Therefore, dont mind the leaves hanging down, I just watered before taking pictures. Also tied down one or two branches a bit more to make the side branching even again. I dont really realize how much the plant actually stretches, the Liberty Haze seems to start budding already while the G13 Haze is still a bit behind. Day 45: I really wanted to try serious and "professional" training methods. Defoliation was obviously needed, I couldnt even see what was going on below the plant. Removed all leaves except on the top 2-3 nodes of each branch. Then I did some heavy LST to move the side branches to the outside for filling up space. I hope the center will grow some branches at some point. Unfortunately, I couldnt supercrop the main branch like I did with the G13 Haze because the stem is weakened due to the partial break. It looks a bit fouly (the break wound itself) but at the same time it looks like the plant just "abandoned" the damaged tissue and continued growing using the remaining part of the stem diameter. Sounds really weird, but it definitely makes sense considering that the plant didnt even stop growing at all. ~Watered 650ml today, too Day 44: Everything seems to go well. Apart from the snap though LOL. But seriously, it doesnt seem to have affected the plant at all :D I did some LST and was very careful ! The Liberty Haze seems to be a bit stiffer than the G13 Haze so I was extra careful which was a good choice. I decided not to train the main branch anymore at all, just the side branches to keep them even. Lets see :) Also the Liberty Haze is quite smelly for not having buds yet. If it was just the G13, it wouldnt smell AT ALL and I wouldnt even have to use my carbon filter !!!

Heyho guys welcome back to this diary ! I decided I slowly want to step back on the BioGrow and keep the Bloom levels the same for this week. I really have to keep checking on the plants because I had several problems with over fertilizing and pH in my past grows. Also, I am not gonna train the girls anymore from now on. Only thing I'll do is move branches if they block each other or maybe remove single leaves if it is REALLY necessary. But no more training / stress for the plants from now on. Day 55: I realized that I used the wrong feeding schedule from BioBizz (I used the one for Autoflowers)... sooo the Liberty Haze doesn't care luckily but I dialled in the new schedule for week 3 of flowering on 80% strength. And I had to pH down from 6.8 to 6.5. Gonna keep that up until Flowering day 21. BTW the 800ml is the perfect amount. A little bit runs through, but immediately gets soaked up again. And the plant needs watering every third day without showing signs of under or overwatering. Happy to have that sorted out now :) Oh and I might take pictures on the last day this week but its forming trichomes. LOTS OF THEM !!! Just the new sugar leaves are already coated in tiny fluffy hairs. Day 53: First obvious Trichomes slowly building up. If you zoom in on the image you can sort of spot the "hairs". Just from this, I already know its gonna be frosty as hell :D So excited :) BTW probably watering tomorrow, maybe only the Liberty Haze and water the G13 in 2 days, lets lift the pots tomorrow! Day 51: Watered with 850ml Water (The plant is starting to drink a lot, the pot is really light and soil is really dry) with about 1/3 less grow than last time and same amounts of bloom and top max

Welcome to week 9! EXPERIMENT Day 63: So because I want to learn, I try to experiment a bit and see how it affects the grow. Therefore, I flushed the Liberty Haze with 10l of pH'd water today (pH 6.3 - 6.5). For some reason, runoff pH at the beginning was 7.0 and in the end was 7.3. I don't know why and how this is possible but I guess I have to ignore the runoff for now... Also a lot of fungus gnat larvae hulls collected at the top which is disgusting. Also some leaves are yellowing, looks like a N deficiency. Anyways I'm gonna let the pot dry out completely (gonna take approx. 4-5 days) and then water 100% strength recommended BioBizz nutrients. I'm curious if this technique works or not. (BTW, the G13 Haze was watered as usual with nutrient solution - no flushing). Day 60: I was bored so I tried to take some good pictures. Unfortunately my Camera Lense isn't made for macro shots at all :/ Might borrow a Macro Lense from a friend. Anyways, its end of third week of flower, so next two weeks should be very bud-production - heavy. I feel like this is one of the rarer Liberty Haze pheons that flowers rather quickly. I read there are ones that take ages and ones that are fairly quick with approx 60-70 days - one of which won the cannabis cup aswell lol so maybe I'm onto a lucky winner here. Trichome production for flower day 21 is already crazy insane. Day 59: Watered 1l of nutrient water (with biobizz) pH'd from 7.0 to 6.4. Having fungus gnats again, thats why I waited another day before watering again. But they multiply like crazy. Definitely the shit soil I bought, so here we go. I can just hope that they wont kill the plants until they can finish.

Hey guys :) Have you ever done mid-flower flushing and if yes, how did it work out? Gonna let the soil dry completely and then water nutes again. Could the pH being buffered to 7.10 (shit soil) be the reason for the yellowing leaves or does the plant need more or less of somethng

toward bottom starting from tips? Fairly safe to say it is a N deficiency. Don't flush, if this is the case. You flush for a reason, like an elevated EC level relative to current maturity of your plant or some major toxicity issue or something crazy out of balance, which doesn't look to be the case here. by completely dry, do you mean top 1" soil, right? Don't let the plant wilt. That's bad for its long-term health. You don't want to drastically shift pH or dissolved mierals in a short period of time -- especially in bloom. All you need to do is keep a good water-fertilizer altnating schedule and react to what the plant says.. .if it starts to get a tox, you fertilize less often or reduce concentrations (assuming it is relatively balanced for the plant, if not ratios of what you feed get involved too). I'd say you need to fertilize slightly more (or slightly increase component with most N based on picture). Always slow increments when testing new things and try to keep all other factors the same - and let it play out a bit to see full extent of change, unless overtly bad, lol. pH -- a pH near 7 would increase nitrogen availability for the plant's uses, so that is likely fine. If you've had no issues so far, i'd keep it the same. A change of pH requires a change in nutrient ratios.. if you've found a good medium, it's best to stay there.

I made it to week 10 !!!! :D Day 68: Watered 400 !!!!!! ml water with appropriate 80% strength BioBizz nutes to moisten the top medium as the bottom is still moist. I simply want to reactivate the Biolife in the top again because its literally bone dry lol. May the fungus gnats arise (goddamnit I hate those things I have to take precautions next time). Day 67: Top Soil is dry LOL. But when lifting the pot its still quite heavy so the water has compacted at the bottom. Which is fine, also, I havent seen fungus gnats since the flush... either theyre replicating like crazy or they drowned :D Day 66: the leaves are becoming really lime and light coloured. This is definitely what a nitrogen deficiency looks like. Seems like she has enough potassium and phosphorus for now though. Also the new growth / leaves from the buds are a healthy green. Pot weighs as much as g13 haze pot when it was watered so it's probably drying out over the next 3 days :) I definitely have to be careful not to add too much nitrogen when watering next time. Conditions for the flush weren't the best but I'm certain it could turn out well! Day 64: Just pictures. For those who don't know, I flushed the liberty haze on day 63 as a technique, the G13 Haze was watered as usual. It's not flowering as fast as I expected, but its not even half way through flower so its probably gonna be quite a decent yield in the end. I would be happy with 0.5 g/watt in total as thats my highest so far and everything above that would be a huge success.

Blaze one up guys, the plants are still alive !!!! Day 77: 1000ml of water, 1ml BioGrow, 1.8ml BioBloom, 2.6ml TopMax. The biggest fan leaf is slowly turning yellow and some lower leaves aswell. I would call it natural decay. Plant still smells and looks gorgeous but it definitely needs to fatten up in the upcoming week or two. Buds are very very dense but really small especially side nodes. Also I don't know how to dry the plant if the G13 Haze is gonna take way longer. Day 74: TRICHOME UPDATE: I used a microscope to check the trichomes today et voilà - about 40% of the Trichomes are milky/cloudy. And the plant smells! Depending on how you move it, it gives off smells of just dank weed, lots of citrus / limonene, and quite pungent creamy smells. Watered 850ml Water with 1ml Grow, 2ml Bloom, 1.6ml TopMax, pH 6.45. Top 4cm of soil were completely dry, bottom feels like its just moist but the very bottom drainage holes are bone dry aswell. Since the drought were going through rn where I live, I'm considering applying 200-400ml water every other day to keep the soil mostly moist. Gonna decide over the next few days. Also, the buds are visibly growing by the day. I open the tent every day and every day I notice some difference. Not that its hugely increasing in size but you can definitely notice changes in color, shape and size. Also, just look how gorgeous that plant looks with the lime-yellow-purple hues. Its so pretty, I would LOVE to grow this plant outdoors one day... (Also the smell is quite strong now but Im not changing to strong because I know its gonna get stronger). Ill change my old 10 month used Carbon filter for a new one I bought, because Its really slowly starting to smell outside the tent even though my nose is really bad. Day 71: Watered 850ml Water with ~1 or 1.2 ml BioGrow (Its clearly nitrogen deficient so I'm slowly raising the N), ~2.4ml BioBloom, and 1 ml of TopMax. Very Important: I realized that the *shit* soil is so dry that more than 60% of water just runs through when watering. So I poked holes in a bottle cap and used this to water very very slowly. And from the 850ml, maybe 20-50ml ran off which is a HUGE difference. I'll try to keep the soil at a decent moisture level for the next flowering weeks. Also, the plant is stacking up nicely, considering that its only half way done, it already produced a very good amount of bud mass... and TRICHOMES!!! :)

Week 12 FK Yeah I can literally smell the harvest hehehe :^) JK im gonna be patient this time :) Day 83: Watered 1000ml Water, 0.8ml Grow, 1.6ml Bloom, 2.4ml TopMax. It's day 44 of flower, which is week 7. I am planning to finish according to the biobizz schedule which plans on 8 weeks of flower and 2 more weeks of plain water. and comes down to 70 days. Sounds good to me, It looks like thats gonna be a good estimation, too. The plant smells strong btw, but not AS strong as I remember from my first grow. I'm pretty sure it'll get there in the last 2 weeks though. Just as a comparison: leave this plant outside the tent for 5 minutes, put it back in, leave the room for 5 mins come back in and youre gonna be welcomed with a very strong creamy dank weed smell. :D Day 80: Watered 1000ml Water, 1ml Grow, 1.8ml Bloom, 2.6ml TopMax. Exactly 80% of BioBizz recommended strength in week 12. The BioBizz schedule luckily lines up almost exactly with my plants. So in week 14, which is Flower week 8, I want to start a 1-2 week flush to reach a total of 10 weeks of flower. I think thats appropriate for 2 very small plants under a 100W LED. But obviously I'll let the Trichomes decide. More and more of which are turning cloudy btw.

Week freakin 13 !!!! Day 91: the gnats are way too many. Everytime I open the tent now there are like 10 flying around and as soon as I move a plant there's like 30 flying around in the tent and the room outside. I really need to take precautions next time before even starting! The pot is mostly dry but due to the gnat epidemic I'm gonna wait another day or two... Maybe the excess oxygen even boosts growth. I decided I'm only gonna water plain pH'd water for both plants from now on, seems like they are gonna be ready to chop in 2 weeks (don't know how far they can go anymore now that the gnat larvae are eating their roots...) Day 89: the waterlogged g13 haze caused a major fungus gnat outbreak which affected the liberty haze too. And they're coming from the damn drainage holes of the pot, disgusting!!! I'm gonna let dry out for the next 2 days and then add nutrients one last time until its just plain water whenever it's DRY!!! NO SCHEDULE !!! trying to learn from my mistakes here... Day 86: So... the plant is turning purple... and I think the images don't really show but it looks soooo gorgeous. 10/10 would keep this plant as decorative plant and gives off some nice odor too ;) Watered 1000ml Water as usual, 0.8ml/l Grow, 1.6ml/l Bloom, 2.4ml/l TopMax. Next watering will be 0.8/0.8/2.4 for a week and then plain water until the end. More and more trichomes are turning cloudy, but it's not done yet. Its day 47 of flower, I reckon its gonna be finished by day 63-70 (2 weeks to let the microbes do their thing with plain water should be enough).

How much more time would you give my plants? I'm thinking 2 more weeks. I have a serious problem with fungus gnats right now, they just came back from one day to another and I don't have any countermeasures for the last weeks. Cheers (:

Hey friend definitely 1-2 weeks at most. You look really close to finish. For the fungus gnats, it won't matter much for this plant, but if you have others around then that's a problem. They'll just keep coming back if you don't get it handled. Are you in the u.s? If so please go get something called mosquito bites, at a garden store or home depot type place. Sprinkle all over top of the soil, then smash a bunch and put into a gallon of water, let sit for a day and then water any affected pots. Let them do a full dry cycle...like almost drooping plant dry. And hopefully that'll kill the larvae in the soil. As for the flying ones if you could pick up a bottle of Dr Bonner's castile soap and make a squirt bottle with 3/4 water 1/4 soap its a very effective but non damaging bug killer. Those are the methods i had the best luck with. Jorge cervantez also does a thing called a bud wash using a tub of water with hydrogen peroxide in it and dunks the buds before drying, its handy for washing away PM and some bugs. Good luck and happy trimming. ✌️

Day 97: Dry pot means: 700ml distilled water with pH 6.6. also removed some yellow leaves that were covering other buds or were already crumbling. I can't judge the trichomes well but on some calyx I find only milky and some amber, on some I find a lot amber and some clear... I think I made a good call with day 101 as harvest day. Day 96: The purpling progresses fast holy moly. I don't take pictures each day but just compare day 94 & 96 !!!!! The plant looks amazing, I will be so sad when she has to come down :( So much work and love went into these two plants ... Day 95: pot was very light so I watered around 700-800ml of distilled water pH 6.7. I tried to get it to 6.5 but accurately pHing a volume of 700ml is an impossible task for me lol. 6.7 is good enough though. The plant is clearly finishing up, leaves are turning yellow and or vibrant purple, some are withering and falling off. Everything seems to be just fine right now :) Day 94: Just took pictures. Leaves are turning purple and or yellow. The plant looks beautiful; unfortunately I forgot to turn off color correction when taking the birdseye pic :/ I am going to harvest on flowering day 63 which is exactly 7 days ahead. Obviously im gonna take some serious pictures. I tried my best to get some visible trichome heads on the ones today, though. Day 92: Watered 700ml of distilled (!) water with 0.3ml Bloom and 1ml TopMax. This is gonna be the last feeding. It's only gonna be water from now on. pH regulated itself to exactly 6.5 which is awesome. The plant looks gorgeous I can't stop looking at it, I found myself sitting in front of it for 5 minutes straight until fungus gnats flew into my face telling me it's time to get up and write this diary :D Probably harvesting in 10 - 12 days, lots of trichomes on the G13 Haze leaves are amber, I want both plants to be ripe but none to be overripe and the G13 Haze seems ready to be honest.

Day 102: Most of the Trichomes are milky. Like say 80%. It's still like 10-15% clear and about 5-10% amber. I am going to cut her down tomorrow early in the morning before the light on switch and hang her dry. Removed the fan leaves that were crumbling and turning yellow and crispy. Gonna dry trim this time, so tomorrow I'll just remove the leftover fan leaves and trim sugars when dried. Day 100: Change of lightcycle to 10/14 to accelerate this plant's maturation. I plan on harvesting on day 103 so I need to tell that plant its time to finish up... BTW if the pots arent dry by day 103 I have to wait, Im not making the mistake of harvesting a wet plant again :) Also, I watered about 800-1000ml of pHd distilled water (about 400ml of that ran straight through though). Just to give it something to live off. The plant is looking amazing but its definitely going to be done soon. I am really struggling concerning the harvest, about 70% of trichs are milky I think, 25%-30% are clear and some rare ones are light amber. I kind of want to wait a bit more but the G13 Haze is overripening and I dont want to ruin it. Ill check trichs and soil moisture on day 103 and decide if I want to wait another 2 days and repeat if necessary. Anyway, enjoy the pics guys, I tried hard to get the colors corrected well so you can see the amazing purple.

Hey guys, it was time to chippidy chop :) The trimming was such a pleasure, great but very strong smell (set up a carbon filter next to you when trimming !!!). Very very good bud-to-leaf ration made this one a charm to trim, some leaves here and there and done! The buds are rock hard and really sticky (G13 Haze was stickier though!). All in all happy with the grow but messed up the plants in the beginning and couldve let them veg a bit more. Tons of things to learn for the next time ;) SMOKE REPORT: Smell / Taste: Very noticeable sour lemon-y taste, piney, earhty, very musky, sharp / spicy smell. Really strong, deep and dank smell! After taking photos the whole room smelt like weed. Effects: Gave me a light headache when I smoked it so my guess is either it was harvested too early / the little side bud offshoot I smoked wasnt ripe enough or it was just random coincidence. Anyway, I didn't get much of a high, some very light distinct euphoria and a very energetic high that lasted for quite some time. I want to try this to get stuff done or to take a walk, I think this might be a good idea. I am gonna share with some friends soon and get some opinions about both strains and will update here, so stay tuned, as this is just my personal subjective opinion on the end product anyways. Thanks everyone for supporting / liking, following and reading this. And special thanks to the nice people on here answering my grow questions and DMs !!! Cheers :)
