MAZAR

MAZAR is well on her way without a hitch, we have not done to much to this girl yet but the fun will soon begin. The intended plan is that she will bloom outdoors! We are very excited to see her process along the way as it will be quite a long road for her and she will have many changes to face along the way!

This girl here is a sleek and sexy one. This is definitely a plant that will benefit from training as her branches are quite bendy or forgiving. Wire wrap was used around the bottom of the pot and also to pull down her branches, it needs some adjusting. Hopefully she will enjoy her outdoor life and the natural light!

This is a dainty little girl and she is flourishing, she had a good clean up along with a few babies and she has already grown so much since. We will be training this one for the outdoor season but first she will have to endure one more transplant indoors, which will happen sometime this week. This is a plant that will provide many therapies and hopefully give us some gorgeous flower.

MAZAR had a droopy few days after her big cleaning but she has been transplanted into her last indoor pot and she is now looking much better. We hope this strain will do well outside as some can be finicky, but only time will tell. The outdoor transition will take place as soon as the weather proves fit!

There are not any issues with MAZAR to mention, she has been cleaned up and she is looking beautiful. It is almost time to get her outdoors under the natural light, one more transplant before the final stages of her begin!

Well, how fancy she looks in her new big girl pot! Mazar has been planted into a 30 gallon fabric pot and she looks fabulously happy. It is a good sign when they handle such a shift, hopefully she maintains her groove throughout the summer and all the way into harvest time. Mazar is quite different for an Indica, she has long slender and feathery fingers that already seem to be, dancing in the wind!

Our first step to the outdoor transplant started with the AGN Dip, it is a product meant for trees specifically but we found it did a wonderful job inside so we used it for the plants outside, that we hope will be as mighty as a tree and it all starts with a great root system. The first initial outdoor feeding was a tea blend that we brewed in our 70 gallon rain barrel, we let it bubble over the course of three days. For the most part it was made up of Bokashi Pro-Gro by My Good Green Home but we did add our own combination of other products that we have become fond of. The mix consisted of Gaia Green Organics 4-4-4 along with their brand of Kelp Meal, Seaweed Extract, Insect Frass and some Bone Meal. Hydro Bio was our choice of microbes and of course we made sure to down our PH to 6.5 by using the TNB Naturals PH down. Once dipped and planted, a good 20 litres of this tea was enjoyed and the growth has been incredible in just a week. The work has begun! Throughout the week they were top dressed with the Gaia Green Organics 4-4-4 along with a sprinkle of their Rock Dust Blend and the water maintenance averaged out to be 20 litres of ph’d water every other day in order to maintain the life of the microbes by keeping them moist. Note* A thin layer of hay was used for a bedding in hopes of maintaining moisture as well. (We have already had an issue with tiny black caterpillars on one plant and then another, so we gave everything/one a couple of treatments with the N-Force, hopefully the situation has been rectified.)

What a difference two weeks can make, as you can see everyone of our girls are looking spectacular and the fun has just begun! (6 separate diaries) We have been sticking to a nice diet schedule and they are thriving already, it has not been difficult to keep the pots moist as of yet but we expect the upcoming heat will have us working at it twice a day. Another barrel of tea was prepared and thankfully the rain held off while it brewed, to this we added the microbes and we found that the Ph level was perfect as it sat at 6.4 so no adjustment was needed. Happiness could be seen by each of our plants after they enjoyed the treat and they stood tall and proud as they reached for the sky. Right now we are keeping a good moisture level in the pots by maintaining them with 20L of water minimum each day, our Ph levels have been ranging between 6 and 6.8 which seems to keep them flourishing. Pruning of inner branches and defoliation has added to their growth and they are very much enjoying the natural elements, branches of each plant have been topped thrice and they seem to become stronger bushes everyday. They have had a dusting of insect frass and it will soon be time for another top dressing of amendments, we have found the hay has made a big difference so far in keeping the top of the soil bed cool and damp. Our ladies have enjoyed a seaweed foilar spray along with a photosynthesis enhancer spray made by MBX and as of now the previous mentioned problematic bugs, have moved along. We are enjoying our garden very much and it will only get better’

Mazar is magnificent and believe it or not she has already gone into bloom. We have stuck to the feeding schedule and have been maintaining our Ph levels quite nicely with the TNB Naturals Ph down. As you can see she is a busy plant and we may have to remove a bit more from her inside although she seems to be holding a beautiful form. This is by far the earliest we have had a plant go into flower so she will be enjoying a bloom diet from now on, she sort of took us by surprise. Mazar is holding up nicely to the natural elements (wind,rain,sun,heat) and it only helps her get stronger, so far she is thriving. Tea time seems to be the most enjoyed and we can only assume it is a tasty treat, all of our plants love it to say the least.

Mazar is doing lovely and we are surprised to see her progressing this quickly. We found the yellowing of her leaves to be only a sign of used up energy that needed to be cleared away which we have been maintaining. We believe this to be a girl who does not like to wait for her nutrients, she showed signs of hunger a week before all of our other girls. We did apply all below mentioned treatments as a boost along with a preventative and she seemed very pleased to say the least. Aside from our regular regimen we have had to step up our game due to yellowing leaves, more so on our Kush plant which we noticed right away and we had to start a treatment immediately to rectify the situation. Hyshield has been added to the rain barrel once a week to provide an overall health booster. We used Sensizyme from Advanced Nutrients to promote a good root wash and clean up the overall health of the soil. Fearless Gardener Rocket Fuel was used as a supplement in the soil and as a foliar spray which they happily responded to very quickly. We also used the Fearless Gardener Flavonator which we hope boosts the flavours! In addition LIFE by Hydroponic Reasearch has been used to benefit the Rhizosphere Organisms and Mycorrhizal Fungi. We have also added Gaia Green’s Power Bloom, Diatomaceous Earth as well as their Rock Dust Blend to the top coat. The most recent treat for them was MBXGROW microbes which they loved and of course they had a dose of Dutch Science Nutrients Cal/Mag, this seemed to perk them up right away. We now have new growth that is coming in healthy and green, we hope that this is the last of our issues for these girls and that they grow steady on.

Mazar has had a great week, we are pleased with how she is looking and how she is already filling in. The rain sure has been consistent, it rained every other day this week but so far she is loving it. Hopefully Mother Nature eases up within the next few weeks and we have a lot of sunshine at the end of the season, bud rot is something we would like to avoid. Mazar is beautiful with a unique look to her, she may not be the tallest but she has many tops and she is one of our busiest plants in the yard.

Mazar is Bizarre and she is funky! We find this girl has a different way about her in terms of growth, she started to flower quite early which was odd. We thought that she had paused a bit but then she seemed to puff out before growing up some more. This was a chaotic girl which did not allow any airflow to her middle so she had quite the clean up and that may be why she has started to work again. Regardless, we love how she looks as she reminds us of a far away landrace that holds a secret all her own. This is an interesting lady! As august passes us by we expect to see many changes over the next couple of weeks and this is when things get exciting. We have cleaned up branching that would only become little bits and act as a distraction to the main tops of the plants where we want the most focus, it has been a very wet season and we anticipate the dreaded bud rot so we thought the airflow would benefit them, they seemed quite thankful to have the extra energy. They have done well with the wind and we do hope they continue to strengthen themselves so that they can hold their blossoms once the weight of them sets in. We have continued on with the same care although we did add Epsom salts to the diet last weekend which we will continue to do every couple of weeks. The weather has been somewhat strange with cooler temperatures at night and reaching a high heat in the afternoon, it has helped us with water consumption as there haven’t been many days that they showed a thirst but they really don’t appreciate the cool nights. Hopefully we get some balanced weather over the next few weeks with a little less rain. As for now, we enjoy and appreciate the beauty that unfolds before us.

Mazar has a unique design that has us in awe, this is definitely a rare looking plant with features that remind us of strains that grow in far away lands. Our only upset with this girl is the powdery mildew that has started to set in, this is disappointing at this stage because we prefer not to use any type of spray. We used tap water with a ph above 9 to see if that would help, regardless this is a sign that she may not be the best strain for outdoors in our climate. Epsom salts have been added to our rain barrel once a week and Mazar has had a few dustings of coffee grounds added to her soil bed. Either way we appreciate her beauty and hope she can stay free of the rot as the bud thickens and the cooler air sets in.

Mazar is an interesting lady, her form is beautiful but we do hope to see her bulk up in the next few weeks and we pray for a nice fall. Once again we gave a treatment of the Epsom salts as well as the flavonator, rock hard, Mbx and some seaweed. The garden has had some more heavy rains to deal with but so far Mazar is hanging on. We will have to give this girl a good treatment with peroxide, natural dish soap and water with a high Ph to try and rid her of the powdery mildew that is starting, followed by a very good rinse. For now that is our only issue besides the many dainty leaves that seem to wilt and hide in her blossoms which are both important issues to manage. For us, if we see a certain problem with a plants susceptibility we will not grow it again. At least not outdoors because Mother Nature is unpredictable and she is in charge.

Rain, Rain and more Rain. That is the only issue in our garden at this point and we are on the lookout for bud rot on each of our girls. The season is changing quickly and we no longer believe the girls in the garden will be harvested in the order that they should, they will come done as long as they can stay healthy. It is unfortunate but the outdoor growing adventure can sometimes be harsh, either way we always appreciate what the plant gifts to us. They all had a taste of the microbes and we are now sticking to a daily watering although we will add the Epsom’s once a week, at the moment we have sunshine and the temperature seems right which is something to be thankful for. Mazar is hanging in so far, there has not been any significant change to her look and we have been expecting her to bulk up a bit more but she hasn’t done so. Mazar had a touch of the powdery mildew and a good treatment with the soapy peroxide rinse which helped a lot but it did not completely kill the spread. We will give her another go as there really is no other choice at this point. The tricky part about this is, we have to soak her again and that leads to rot.

Mazar was bizarre to say the least and a very unique plant in our garden but in the end we did have a sad harvest for this girl. The moment we were waiting for never arrived and the bud rot did take quite a bit of her before her harvest a few weeks ago. The weight is an estimate based on the dry weight, our only scale was the triple beam so it is most likely not very accurate. Mazar did encounter a bit of an issue at the beginning of her bud cycle and this may be the cause of confusion for her, it seemed as though she paused a moment which left her unable to pick herself back up again. Either way we may run her again inside at some point but for outdoors we prefer non finicky strains, the hard part is sticking to that theory because we also enjoy seeing the beauty of uniqueness grow before our eyes. Mazar has a pine and or earthy wood scent to her, the outcome section of the diary seems to be having an issue so I thought I’d add that info here. We have yet to smoke Mazar, we took what was unharmed and plan to make some hash. What a rainy year, winter will soon be here. 💚✌️
