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!

@MaryJaneUSA, If it starts from the bottom leaves, then it’s calcium- magnesium problem. It could also represent fungus rust. If this is true, then you need to separate all your nearby plants because it can spread via spores. But your plant looks healthy.
Either it’s cal mag issues or your pot isn’t draining well and you may be overwatering
I had this issue before and I think your right has something to do with C-M. I increased the amount of calmag slightly and raised my ph to about 6.4 and that reduced the rate of leaves being affected but didn’t entirely solve it. Was late flowering last couple weeks I had this issue.
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?
She was fairly easy to grow. There was some sort of nutrient deficiency or toxicity in late flower, but didn't seem to negatively impact quality or aroma. Smells of blueberries and sweet cheese. The buds aren't the biggest but not the smallest either. Where they lack in size, they make up for in density. I have run and smoked this strain before, and I may be making a premature judgement. That said, if the smoke warrants, I may adjust my rating. I did enjoy the smoke, but felt the smell outshined the taste when smoked. If the flavor is improved this run and more closely fits the smell and/or increased potency... then this will surely earn a higher rating.
Update: I actually would liked to have improved the rating after getting a chance to test the final product. If it were possible, I'd give an 8 out of ten stars, and would give another half star if it were an option.
Pros: Wonderful blueberry aroma with some cheese notes that become more noticeable when smoked. The taste is very pleasurable. It's a quick finisher with dense buds.
Cons: Not a light yielder, but it'd be nice if it produced a bit more. Buds aren't the biggest, either, but do make up for it in density. She seemed a little touchy on nutes, or something. The rest of the garden was relatively green and lush until they started going into senescence, but this plant showed some sort of deficiency or toxicity; I believe a Cal-Mag deficiency, but I am not sure if it may have been due to lockout or if it was a true deficiency. Could just be user error.
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, 💚

Not too powerful, but still a good stone. I got a more sativa dominant phenotype. Personally, I enjoy this one, but it was sort of a pain in the butt to train and trim because there were a lot of small leaves. That being said, she started off flowering smelling very piney. As she ripened, her smell began to sweeten. It's soft, though. Not candy. There are notes of pineapple and herb. It is very smooth, not harsh at all. We have smoked some, so the weight was actually higher, but I am reporting what I have here. It also needs to be cleaned better, but I just haven't gotten the chance. This plant grew huge sativa spear shaped colas. Not very dense, but not to thin and fluffy either. If it was more potent and had better calyx to leaf ratio, then she would get a higher rating.
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!

Very potent. Up high. Keeps me going when I have a ton of work to do. Also very euphoric and great for getting creative. If you are into music or the arts, this is a great choice. I don't really get paranoid from weed too often, but I could see this strain triggering anxiety for inexperienced users.
I really enjoy the flavor in this one. It's VERY SKUNKY smelling. This is some LOUD weed for sure! It has a great taste. Sweet, fuely, and piney all at once. I was really impressed by this strain. I would have been happy paying for these but it's even sweeter being they were freebies!
This strain is one I actually was able to get a nice tight trim on rather easily. The high calyx to leaf ratio made it a breeze.
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!

Good medicinal stone with this strain. It is a nice hybrid buzz that isn't too high or too low. Good body stone with a pleasant euphoria too!
This plant took a beating in veg and I almost killed her. She came back strong, but was definitely stunted. In better conditions and with more expert care, I bet she could really be something amazing. She has nice solid dense buds and very resinous. A bit of a greasy strain that has potential for extracts. She smells of sweet and sour lime. The taste is sour herbs.
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!

Fo'Twenny here with the harvest and smoke report for the Strawberry Amnesia. I have been taking forever to get everything trimmed, and this one still needs a tighter trim. That said, I wanted to get this updated for ya'll, but keep in mind that the weight is before final trim.
So, this is the star of the run! No surprise as she was our favorite last run too! The terpene profile is amazing. She smells and tastes of sour strawberry funk! She has a nicely balanced, yet Sativa dominant high. It's uplifting and energetic, yet provides a feeling of calm pleasantness. I just feel happy when I smoke this stuff.
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!!!
Looks pretty good, tastes pretty good, and has a nice high. As far as smokability it's great, but this pheno definitely didn't deliver on the Blueberryness. It's more like Skunk with a very faint undertone of berry. The berry is somewhere in there, but it's not very prominent. If I didn't know it was blueberry, I may not have even identified the unremarkable blueberry undertone that just kind of got lost in the crowd. Not bad smoke, but not what I was looking for at all in this strain.
I am behind on trimming and we have smoked some over the past few weeks, so this weight is not accurate. There was a lot of larf that was discarded as trim. This is the primary reason for the vast variance between wet and dry weights.
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!

Great bag appeal, nice potency, pretty colors, and a nice smooth smoke. It puts off a skunky, slightly acrid herbal aroma. I was hoping she would have turned out a bit on the sweeter side, but she is still a great strain. I think if I let her go another week or so, she may have come out a little better, but I saw nanners and pulled the crop a bit earlier than planned. Regardless, I am happy with the results. Nice Indica stone with a noticeable cerebral effect that is, likely, partially due to her being pulled early. Really nice dense buds and a good yielder with minimal effort compared to some of the other plants in the garden. I'd definitely grow her again.
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!
Sorry for the long wait and even sorrier to keep y'all waiting for an EPIC letdown. It took me a while to post this plant, because, well, she just wasn't worth my time and effort. This plant was just not happy throughout flower. She yellowed and showed signs of deficiency early on and was nowhere near the same quality as the rest of the tent. It was supposed to be an autoflower, but wasn't. I really just didn't like this plant. Oddly, she looks better in photos than in real life. Not good smoke. Didn't even bother getting a final weight, we just ended up using this flower to make cannabutter. Weights are estimates, sorry... Not sorry.
Day 40: Some added defoliation. Fed at 1/3 strength because last feed was full strength. Uploaded some new pictures. #NOFILTER so please don't mind the varying exposure. My phone likes to do whatever it wants, so some look pale and some yellow. Enjoy and happy growing!
Killer, absolute stunner of a diary/setup/fixture/garden, dude. How long you been growin? You take some really good photos, glad you found the site, man.
@BudXs, Photography is an art I enjoy, and this gives me some good subjects to practice with. Hardest part is dealing with the lighting while editing. I figured out turning the light off and using my flash gave me some nice results as can bee seen in the last couple pictures in the series uploaded this week.
@amazongrow, Thanks for the compliment! I wouldn't say I am a pro, I just read a lot and watch a lot of videos. I have grown on and off over the years in micro setups, but I just recently got serious and set up a legit garden. This is only the third run in this garden.
@FoTwenny, I have used and like horticultural and essential oils. Rosemary is good for the mighty mites
Great shape and strong plants for such a short time. I will follow up!
How long have you been growing? Are you a pro? 🙂
Tchau!
@HazeyBobby, Trimming isn't exactly my favorite part of the process, but it is very exciting that we will get to enjoy this amazing medicine very soon!
@JinksyGrows, I wish I took more pictures, but I hadn't planned on logging on this site. Sometimes paranoid of the Federal legality even though I have all appropriate state licensing. I got over my paranoia and decided to just do it. You live and you learn. Next run will be documented start to finish. I like being able to reflect back and make adjustments. I was loosely logging feed details and whatnot, but I would like to capture as much detail as possible next run.
@FoTwenny, Well, you do need a complete diary, including harvest. If you have pictures of the girls in veg from the missing weeks, please show us! After harvest, you'll be asked if you want to enter it in Diary of the Month right away or you can choose whichever month you wish to enter it. With the green smiley face and completed weeks + the attention too/quality of this grow would be a contender to place in the contest👍
@FoTwenny, I think one of the best things about growing is the exposure to all these wonderful strains and see first hand how different they can grow and the flowers produced. Ultimately, nothing beats having different jars to pick from based on scent, flavour and effect when the time comes 😁😎👌
@HazeyBobby, Thank you very much for the kind words! It is amazing how much variation can be found in the cannabis plant, don't you think? I am very excited to see how they progress!
@QuantumSkies, Wisconsin lol... Serial killer capital of the world. Something about beer and cheese that makes people want to how on a killing spree. To any Wisconsinites out there, I am bviously kidding; please don't take offense.
@FoTwenny, hey you never know, you could be 63 years old and from Wisconsin. Im not saying I hate cheese, dont have the wrong idea about me, it's delicious 😋.
Hey @FoTweeny cant wait to see the strawberry amnesia harvest, unfortunately hit a little rot with one of mine, fingers crossed should all be good from now though, hope yours ended up well. Keep looking for the update guessing you holding on with a good dry and cure before posting
@FoTwenny, no rush il be following, and god I dont know how you fit it all in in same boat do 12 hour days and have a little one and feel like I never get a minute and I've only got 1 small tent😂🤣
@Bogdan44, They may be hard to come by since Subcool passed away. I stocked up as soon as I heard the news. A very long time ago I grew out a a bag seed of Subcool's Plushberry and was some of the best smoke I've ever had. When I started this garden, I knew I wanted some of his genetics in there! I will probably reveg, clone, and I'd like to make some S1's using colloidal silver.
Holy shit. That looks like a real bad ass setup there O_o
I've also never seen the bottom of plants look brown like regular trees. Is it specific genetics or is it something else @FoTwenny
@Cremo, Thank you very much. I am not sure if I should have thinned a bit more, I think I will end up with some larf. I am learning a lot through trial and error, but still far from where I would like to be.
@Cremo, It is likely because I went overboard on pyrethrin when I found spider mites early in veg. NOOB lessons learned and now implement a very mild IPM plan.
@GanjaTorturer, Thanks for stopping by and sending some love! That Green Gelato forest you got going on looks pretty damn impressive if I do say so myself! Stay up and happy growing!
@FoTwenny, i had a bet with some outdoor guys I could beat the at their own game in dirt just indoors lol I'll b back in clay soon! I'm noone special but thank you I really like doing this shit.
I just tweak a few things and let the set up do the rest now really..... It Doesn't look like your too far off woman u will be kicking my ass in no time and u def have the setup. And ur stuff looks really good. Good job!
Hi there. Your plants are looking very nice. I’m curious as to which strain you fancy most out of the bunch? Also, That video was enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. Cheers 🥂
@GaiaGreenGiant, Thanks for the kind words!!! So, this is not an easy decision. There is a lot of diversity in the garden. That being said, the Strawberry Amnesia and Triple Cheese are the only 2 I have run previously. The Cheese was mostly a loss due to improper cure. The Strawberry Amnesia is one of the best smokes I have ever experienced, but the pheno I have is rather lanky. I think if I grew her in a different manner, she might not be such a pain in the ass. I had to do a lot of things and supporting with her. The Purple Queen and Chernobyl are some of the frostiest in the bunch. Purple Queen has a citrusy lemon kush smell to her and Chernobyl smells like lemon lime soda or maybe lime margarita. The White Widow smells super piney, the smell almost reminds me of Heineken or an IPA. I haven't smoked some piney buds in a while. The Blueberry has a sweet floral smell, but the Triple Cheese smells more if Blueberry than she does at this point. The Cheese funk is there too, but the blueberry really shines through her terpene profile. The skunk smells Dank and musky. I haven't smoked anything reminiscent of it in quite a while, maybe ever. The other 2 unknown strains have an orange virus smell to them. All that being said... Of those I haven't tried... I'd say a 3 way tie Between Chernobyl, purple Queen, and The Skunk #1. My mind may change, but right now that's the best I can come up with. I love variety... I am too indecisive to choose just one!
@BudXs, Yeah, I am really surprised how quickly they're coming along. It has been a wild season that has taught me many lessons. I am happy things still turned out well! I look forward to seeing your harvest and smoke report. Happy growin' 'n' tokin', my friend!
