@Itslegalnow, Hey sorry for such a late reply I kinda forgot about the diary 😑. I probably lost around 20-25% to mold...not so nice but could've been worst. Overall I'm happy with how it went and I definitly learned a lot as it was my first grow on such a scale. I take two main lesson from the harvest that I will share becayse it might be useful for other people. 1-Harvest every plant of a particular strain at the first signs of mold on that strain. I tried to remove the spots of mold that I saw and let the rest of the plants go a couple extra day so that they would be fully ripe , That was a huge mistake because often the mold starts in the middle and grows outward. So it is very likely that if you see a spots on 1 branch, there are some other that have started to mold from the inside and I would probably have saved more if I had harvested right away. 2-It's better to harvest one week early then 1 days too late. I wanted to let them ripen to about 30% amber trichome. To get there, I let them go through an entire day of rain so they could get another 4-5 days of sun. I ahould have harvested them before the rainy day, even if that meant harvesting when they were not fully ready, because it is after that rainy day that the mold started popping up everywhere.

@@hillman, Yes fore sure! Give me about two weeks and we can get on the topic a little bit seriously. I am by no mean an expert but what I have use so far seems to work decent and is actually quite simple to make/use.

@@hillman, Yes I am experiencing the same thing. I would still say that it is a fairly resistant strain to mold but you have to keep a close eye on it and not feel bad to harvest it a week earlier than what would be ideal. I would have save quite a few top colas if I had done that. Live and learn! It is suppose to rain for the next two days here, so I am about to go on an all-nighter harvest session. Should be interesting! Thanks for the comment and our sweet tooth looks amazing by the way.

@sativaman, I've been extremely busy lately but I'll give an update in a couple of days!

@Gunnen, I also have a couple of holland’s hope from dutch passion as well…It’s my first time growing them and they are among the easiest plants I have growb thus far. I will see what the final product look like in about a month.

@simps, It's an organic bloom fertilizer made using the korea natural farming method. Pretty simple to make. You take a bunch of fruits like banana, apple, and mango that you cut in pieces and mix with equal weight of fruits to sugar. You mix all of this and let it sit for about 14 days for the fermentation process to occur. You end up with a black liquid that is rich phosphorus in potassium. You mix it in with your water to a ratio of 1:1000 in early flower and 1:500 in the later stage. Look "fermented fruit juice knf" on google and you will get a bunch of results if you want to learn more.

@sativaman, Happy to hear that you enjoyed the NL x BB...I don't know much about this strain and decided to grow it mostly because it is suppose to be ready for chop early in the season. And yeah the freezeland I get is from clone only. I might do the project of making seeds with it next year, I know that would make a few people happy!

@sativaman, Yes it is a wonderfull strain...perfectly suited for my northern climate. I am lucky enough to have an old friend who also love the freezeland and has been keeping the genetic for 25 years +. I actually have two pheno of freezeland in the field. One of them we call crypto-freeze. It tends to produce the most of the two but it usually takes an extra week and a half to be fully ripe. If you harvest bedore full maturity, the smell is lacking massively. Depending on the weather here, the extra week and a half can be a little bit of a pain. The second one is bubbleberry freeze. As the name says, it is suppose to be a cross of freezeland, bubblegum and blueberry, Doesn't yield as much but is ready a little sooner, around september 23-26th ususally.
