4x8 w/1680w LM301h Quantum Boards

—

I could have kept better track, but life has been busy. These are weeks 3-7ish of veg pictured above.

Had a timer fail and the garden received additional hours of light for a day or 2. Hopefully no adverse reactions occur. Lights are dimmed to help create even spread. All outer boards are dimmed separate from inner. With lux meter app on my phone, I have dialed in to about 50-60k lux at top of the canopy. Gave a pretty heavy defoliation day 7.

I dilute all feeding by adding one gallon per every five mixed. Watering is alternating at full strength and 1/3 strength. Making adjustments and diluting feeds for any plants showing signs of excess nutes.

6/24: Took quite a few photos on day 2 of week 3 of 12/12. More uploads coming soon. Sweet dreams growers! My bed is calling me! 6/25: Added a few more photos today, but still plenty more to come. Spent a while defoliating tonight and plan to feed tomorrow if the medium is dry.

6/30/20: Today is day 22 of 12/12, the start of week 4! The girls are starting to push out more and more pistils and buds are starting to form. Terpenes are starting to become quite apparent. Stay tuned, because things are just starting to get interesting! More photos from 6/30 coming soon! I also plan on updating each week with feed information shortly. Happy growing to you all! Cheers! Update Day 24: Got majority of pictures from 6/30 uploaded, may not add more. Selective defoliation and foliar feeding today. Took a couple of pictures. Enjoy!

Day 30: Flowering is in full swing! I completed a heavy defoliation on six of the plants, a little LST, and gave them a very low ppm watering with some Sledgehammer, Big Bloom, Molasses, and a pinch of ascorbic acid then pH adjusted to 6.4. I will comlete defoliation on remainder of garden on day 31. I have been editing photos because the lighting washes them out terribly; So, I still have more to edit and upload tomorrow. Enjoy! Day 32: Defoliated and LST the remainder of plants (Triple Cheese, Chernobyl, and Strawberry Amnesia; AND defoliated in the veg tent too!). Strawberry Amnesia is getting so lanky some branches started falling over so I made some supports out of PVC. Everything is looking and smelling great. Keep an eye out for more updates and photos to be uploaded this week!

Day 36 of 12/12: I noticed some slight discoloration with rusty/yellow looking spots on the Triple Cheese plamt. It was pretty faint on just a few leaves with a couple worse than the rest. I included a photo of this particularly bad looking leaf. Otherwise, she seems to be healthy. I was thinking that maybe I didn't allow enough time between waterings or maybe Cal Mag deficiency. Any ideas? I waited a day longer and added a couple extra TSP of cal mag this feed and I usually PH to a range of 6.2- 6.6 and check EC every watering. Last watering was PH'd to 6.4. It may be worth mentioning that my soil contains about 30-40% ratio of coco (Roots Original, Roots 707, and Mother Earth Coco/Perlite mix) along with work castings, ancient forest compost, FF Ocean forest and EC are aligned with Fox Farm feeding schedule. In fact, I typically aim for low end of recommended range unless plants indicate more or less is needed. Thanks for tuning in and happy growing! Day 40 of 12/12: Fed @ 1/3 strength as previous feed was @ full strength. Selective defoliation though out the garden. Took new photographs to share. #NOFILTER, so please forgive the varying exposures. My phone likes to do that for some reason. Enjoy the bud Porn and happy growing friends!

Update day 56 of 12/12: Since my soil mix contains a lot of coco, I decided to lower pH this watering to 6.1 to see if this will help stop some of the discoloration I have been noticing. Following the Fox Farm feed schedule this week at 2/3 strength. All in all, things are looking pretty good, I think. Looking forward to upcoming harvest! Once the breeder recommended flowering time has been reached I will begin to check trichomes to determine ripeness. I will begin checking every other day to check progress! Thanks for stopping by my garden and happy growing!

Day 49: Yes, I said day 49. Confused? Apparently I was too when I put day 56 on a bunch of photos last week that were actually from day 46. 🤦‍♀️🏻🤦‍♀️🏻🤦‍♀️🏻 Only a few quick whole garden photos today. I will update this week with some pre-harvest pics when I am back in the garden on Friday. Check back for those this weekend! That being said, Trichomes are already starting to turn amber on a few of the girls.The Triple Cheese (cutting) is done almost 2 weeks earlier than last run and a week earlier than breeder recommends. I suspect, perhaps due to the quantum boards? Well, she's going to have to wait a few more days because I needed to get her flushed today. The light is at the end of the tunnel and look forward to sharing the harvest and smoke reports! Thanks for stopping by and following along. I wish you all peace, love, happiness, and all of the dankest nugs you could ever hope for! Until next time, happy growing!

Video from Day 53 I edited and uploaded. I spent a lot of time in the garden yesterday. My veg tent needed a TON of trim work and had to get the girls watered. Picked up some Mammoth P and decided to try it out. The label states you can run through flush and read reports of growers who run through flush. Just microbes, and I have stopped all other microbes and just flushing with sledgehammer. I will be back in the garden today and update this week with some more photos! Stay tuned and happy growing! Day 54: I planned to get more photos, but got really tied up with trimming some larf I hadn't noticed in the center of a few plants. I think I was a little to conservative with lollipopping in some areas and left too many lower sites in the middle of the plants. This is the first time I have trained plants in this manner. I had also planned on harvesting the Triple Cheese, but I checked trichomes again and decided to give at least a few more days. That being said, I just took some pre-harvest photos of the Triple Cheese. As I prep each for harvest, I will get some good photos of each plant with the black backdrop. Thanks for stopping by my garden! Peace, love, and happy growing!

I apologize for the video quality. I have been super busy, but still wanted to make something nice for y'all! Day 56: Gave the girls another plain watering pH adjusted to 6.5 then added Mammoth P @ 67°F. Not fading as quickly as I'd thought they would. Chopped the Triple Cheese today and moved our Gelat.O.G. into the open spot in flower. Breeder specs show 50-56 day Bloom an I think last run she may have went too long. Plan to be in the garden 8/5 (Day 58) and hoping to see some more fading and swelling going on. The aromas on the tent are absolutely tantalizing. I will try to get a few more photos for ya'll. Day 58: Did some minor defoliation in the veg tent and took photos. I decided today I would upload unfiltered and unedited photos. Enjoy! Day 61 of 12/12: I noticed seeds in the Skunk #1.😭😭😭 Possibly other plants too, but I was mostly on the lookout for the flowers to tonight. I noticed a single banana popping out of Purple Queen. I decided to harvest all but the Strawberry Amnesia and the Blueberry. I will get pictures soon and update with harvest deets. I need to take a closer look to see what plants may have been pollenated and if there are any other nanners. I did have a timer fail (which has been replaced) at the end if week 1 of flower. Not sure if this could be the cause, if I let her go too long, or if it's just the genetics. I am hoping for minimal damage. I'd be interested in a Purple Queen x Chenobyl cross. Think the seeds would be prone to hermies or would ya'll toss the beans in the bin?

This harvest report will be updated with more pictures, harvest info, and smoke report within the next couple weeks or so. Day 56 of flower I decided it was time to pull the Triple Cheese! More to come on this once all is dried, trimmed, cured, and smokeable. She was a cutting from last run. Both times, she showed some sort of deficiency or toxicity in late flower. I have additional seeds and maybe I can find a more desirable pheno, but I decided to retire her for now. I'd like to get a little beefier and less "sensitive" pheno. By sensitive, I am referring to the nutrients toxicity/deficiency or whatever it may have been. She was in a regular plastic 7 gallon pot. No cuttings or reveg for this lady. I will run this strain again at a later time. RIP Triple Cheese. I will update weight as I did not get a chance yet. I left the buds on the branches/stems. How do you all do your wet weight? Is the there a standard? Do you include the stems? Do you weigh immediately after harvest? Or do you wait a few days until cutting from the stem and weigh? GD should set a standard and maybe add a help button next to each field that clarifies how the harvest should be weighed. This way we're all reporting the consistent data. Just a thought!

Hey guys, sorry for the delay in posting harvest reports. Getting the next run started and harvesting/trimming has made for a crazy week. I ended up pulling earlier than I had planned because I found a seed in the Skunk #1. I found a single nanner in the Purple Queen and found about 5 or 6 in the Dosido x Unknown. I am probably going to be working on this for a while. Gave a nice tight trim about 3 days prior to harvest in most plants. Did a little quick wet trimming and when it dried I removed from stems and jarred. I will continue to dry trim throughout cure, I'd prefer to get it done prior to curing, but time is not on my side right now. It is what it is. Bear with me, I promise to get harvest updates soon. Final weight in's won't be perfect because my helper has been pinching here and there, but I am not in it for the numbers. I just want a baseline to know what styles and techniques yield me the best results. Stay tuned and go like and follow my other diaries. I have a ton of awesome strains running right now! Peace, ✌️ Love, 💚 And Frosty Nugs! ❄️🌲

I may have harvested too early. Technically it was within the breeder ripening window, but I think a week more would have been a good idea. I kinda panicked when I found a seed in a neighboring plant and another plant with a few nanners. So, I harvested her earlier than I planned. I have a 1000x microscope and trichomes were only around 15% amber the day before I picked her, and was going for more like 20-25%. All in all, I am not disappointed nor am I overly impressed. I was hoping for a more balanced hybrid pheno with denser nugs and more resin production. It was a freebie seed and maybe it was mislabeled, because she didn't look like any other Seedsman White Widow that I have seen on Grow Diaries. I will try running this strain again in the future and see if I get something a little beefier and more potent. I will get better pictures of nugs once she gets a nice tight trim. Some macros of trichomes too. Thanks for following and checking out my diary! Happy growing everyone! Peace ☮️, Love 💚, and Frosty Nugs ❄️🌲!!! -Fo' Twenny

This one was easy to grow and easy to trim. Very sticky and resinous. Very potent. Nice bag appeal. Lots of shiny trichome heads! Nice and flavorful smoke. She was easy. I fed the garden all pretty much the same and took everything that came her way. Her buds do get heavy and were falling over a bit at the end of flower, but that is somewhat my fault and big buds are a good problem to have, right? Overall very impressed. The whole garden was very badly shocked early in veg and I am thankful to have had such a great finish on this run. Thanks for tuning in! Peace ✌️, Love 💚, And Frosty Nugs ❄️🌲! Happy growin' ya'll! -Fo' Twenny

Sorry, I didn't get a wet weight and we smoked some. Who know, maybe an eighth... Maybe a quarter? I should really keep better tabs. Establishing and managing a larger garden mostly by oneself has proven to be a challenge. Expanding was a lot of work. I still have a lot I am working on getting things dialed in and I still need to build my dry sift screens. One step at a time, I suppose. Thanks for tuning in! Peace ✌️, Love 💚, And Frosty Nugs ❄️🌲! Happy growin' ya'll! -Fo' Twenny

She gets a bit lanky and takes longer to finish. She was falling all over herself by harvest time. On the plant, she doesn't seem like there were as many buds. The buds themselves were compact but she stretched a lot. Her internodal spacing may lead one to believe she might produce a smaller yield. On the contrary, her vertical growth is what really made her a nice producer. I think she could have turned out better, but I am still learning a lot as a grower. All that said, I LOVE smoking this bud!!!

She took a beating in early veg because I overreacted to what thought were likely to have been spider mites. I stunted pretty much the whole garden, but by the end of it she really recovered well. It seemed she was a little bit of a light feeder and would show signs of burn when the rest of the garden showed no signs. It started in the first couple weeks of flower l adjusted her feed by feeding her last and adding water to dilute.She recovered from the nute burn quickly after adjusting. It was very minor, but it was a clear difference between her nutrient tolerance and the rest of the garden's. It was probably my fault for not doing enough lollipopping, but she did produce a considerable amount of larf that was put into the trim bin. In the future, if I grow her, I will make sure to take off some of the lower branches and keep only the dominant tops. All that said, it was a pleasure to have her in the garden. I will try her again in a future run in hopes of finding a different , more blueberryish, pheno. Thanks for your patience, thanks for joining, and happy growing to y'all! ☮️✌️💚🤟❄️🌲

Weights are after smoking several grams and some still needs a final trim, but I need to wrap this one up! Not much else to say that hasn't already been said. I'd recommend giving this strain a run if you think a Skunky Purple Indica dominant Kush variety might be up your alley. Thanks for joining me!

Not great, not even good, and even the rosin was super MEH... "Heck, let's just decarb her and make some cannabutter!"
