First grow of my life.

dataTwiiix 1st real week of growth, I hope to be able to start LST on day 2 next week.

dataTwiiix Thursday March 11 first day of the 3rd vegetative week. I will be able to start the "LST" quietly in a few days I have already pinched the largest plant of white widows and purple queen at the inter-node below the future apex to promote the growth of new branches which appear at the level lower nodes. Sunday March 14 update: LST done on three wWidow and purple queen plants, today I attack the LST on "La Rica". So far, so good sunday 03/20: Everything is god maybe a little overfed. I will give water for 2 waterings, then I start again with nutrients but 1/3 and after if all goes well 1/2 watering. Happy growing my friends.

dataTwiiix this is my first growth and first time i see cannabis flowering 😆. I am very excited and lost at the same time ... hope to do my best to be nice to babies 😇

dataTwiiix The last was not good. i hope this new week gonna be better a more easy. over last week i made overfeed, i have watered 2 times without any nutriment added, today: Friday 26/3 the last week was not good. I hope this new week will be better and easier. in the last week i sprinkled with plain water because i overfed before that, last week i watered 2 times without any added nutrients. Friday 26th march, I will feed my plants for the first time since 3/16. I hope that the light green on the edge and at the end of the new leaves of the apex are due to a deficiency and not overfeeding. Tuesday March 30 as I said: so far everything is fine. as a beginner i had some watering issues at the start of the harvest but now it is happening. I see a lot more when the plants are hungry or need to be fed. tks u.😀

dataTwiiix first time growing yesterday morning i go to see my plants and what i see 4 out of 6 six plants seem to be dying. like the newbee i can't figure out what's going on: (... i think hard one day and this morning i think sprinkling like a drain / rinse mix to de-stress i go out to my dad and when i come back wath I see 5 plants in good condition ready to continue the adventure.

dataTwiiix the end of my first crop is approaching, I am getting impatient the work has become easier: water and watch for fungi or pests. the cold snap in europe makes it easier for me to manage the temperature and humidity. :)

dataTwiiix So I've reached the end of the 4th week of flowering. Counting the pre-flowering week with it... I can't wait to see the end, I have to admit! Another week comes to an end, I've started the flushing of "La Rica CBD 1:1" #1 and I think I'll harvest them in about ten days. According to the technical sheet, it should already be ready, but I prefer to wait another week and flush it properly. The Widow might receive its last dose of nutrients, although #1 seems almost ready to think about it! I replaced the BIOBIZZ TopMax with a product from CANNA, Biocanna Boost Accelerator, one feeding out of two. I also had to deal with an iron deficiency on almost all the plants, which I've partially resolved or at least improved thanks to the product from GHE: Essential (a mixture of trace elements in chelated form).

dataTwiiix The last week of "La Rica auto CBD 1:1," which I grew to help my mom who suffers from pain like sciatica and other age-related aches... a little note about "La Rica," as for the effect, we think that: "the entourage effect will make the CBD nullify the high from the THC, so I'm going to harvest it as soon as I see 1% amber trichomes to see if harvesting only when the trichomes are milky means that when the psychoactive effect is at its peak, I will lose a bit on the yield, but I will have taken my chance. For the other two plants, I will wait until there are +/-20% amber trichomes before putting them in the dark for 48 hours (it's Wednesday, 28/4, and I put La Rica #1 and the supercropped one in total darkness in my second box)... following the harvest :) The Widow #1 plant had a very difficult start (let's not forget this is my first growing session), and in the end, it's this plant that finishes with the most buds and trichomes, and I'm very proud of it. The second one continues to flower in quite a monstrous way too; the apex looks more like a deformed sausage balloon than anything else :) but it's nicely crispy-creamy with resin. The Purple Queen has only produced very few trichomes up until now, certainly due to my poor management of nutrients, but now I can see that the flushing I did over a week ago and the addition three days ago of Biobizz BLOOM and Cannabio Boost Accelerator has restarted the factory, as our American friends say. Regarding the Purple, given its delay compared to the technical sheet that mentioned 50 days +/- I'm at 70 days tomorrow, so I've decided to feed it one last time with Boost Accelerator and CalMag agent from Canna. At this point, I'm starting to better "read" my plants and thus be able to respond correctly to their needs. I'm quite eager to do it again to avoid making the same mistakes and achieve an even better result!

dataTwiiix 04/29/21 We finally entered the harvest window for the White Widow, the memorable white widow from over 10 years ago, not to mention 20 since I last smoked it, so just imagine my impatience as we reach the end of its curing :)

dataTwiiix 28th of April: It smells really good, a mix of pine and grapefruit/lemon, now I just need to see its therapeutic effect since I grew it to help my mom's sciatica! 30th of April: 48 hours later, the harvest is done, we're doing a "wet trimming" to avoid any risk of rot. Now they're in the drying box which has a carbon filter, and thank goodness because it gives off an incredible smell! The rica #1 LST/defoliation produced much denser buds than the rica that was supercropped in the 5th week, which produced more buds but less dense ones! On May 7th: I went a little crazy and tried the rica before curing (so I chose a small bud that wasn't too dense and didn't smell like chlorophyll anymore) and I'm amazed by its potency: relaxing, happy, no more anxiety! I'm giving it 5 stars! More info after curing!

dataTwiiix 11th week, the wait is getting long but we have to hold on! Soon the harvest. I'm still happy to be able to consume La Rica while waiting for the harvest of the rest of the plants, which shouldn't take too long now. All the plants have milky trichomes, now I'm waiting for 15/20% amber and bam, HARVEST! Tuesday 11/5 8 PM: Lights off for 48 hours, the harvest (of the two white widow, one purple queen, and the last "La Rica" that experienced stress which stalled its growth for about 10 days) starts on Thursday, May 13 at 8 PM 😁.

dataTwiiix The flowers after 48 hours in the dark had become more impressive and the pistils had almost all turned pink! A lot of the leaves had turned purple, so I added a fan directly on the plants during those 48 hours 😇. Followed by a wet trimming due to the rain in my country and the high temperatures (thanks to global warming). Harvest executed on May 13 at around 5 PM. The purple in auto and especially indoors is a small bush, not easy to train when you're a beginner! So either you let it grow naturally, but then it's better to do it outdoors! It's definitive, I won't do any autos indoors anymore unless I'm sure it's worth it! I still plan to test the famous FastBuds varieties and try topping/mainlining because I'm curious to see how their genetics, which are supposed to be so extraordinary, actually behave! I can't comment on its taste or effects; I just sensed a pretty sweet, floral, and soft aroma, but very subtle. I'm worried about its quality in terms of stoniness... In the end, the result is more than acceptable; this weed has a calming effect, ideal for starting a day gently or ending it with everyone's little habits :) Recently, I recovered some poke/resin from the bottom of the curing pot of my purple queen, as well as a fine powder of leaves and small parts of flowers. I rolled that up and BAM, very high, memorable!

dataTwiiix Very happy with the result. For a first time, until today even a geranium had never lasted more than a month at my place. Plus, I find a therapeutic side to this activity, and after that, you don't look at weed the same way anymore; you have more respect for it!
