Final Crop Report: System Failure & Lessons Learned Project Status: Emergency Early Harvest | Final Outcome: Crop Failure (Low Yield/Stunted Buds) Executive Summary The crop was terminated during Week 7-8 of flowering due to a total systemic collapse. The plants suffered from severe dehydration and physiological stress, resulting in small, airy buds and significant loss of biomass. The "Fade" observed was not natural ripening but rather premature senescence caused by environmental and root-zone failure. 1. Chronological Failure Analysis • Weeks 4-5 (Early Signs): First indicators of Heat and Light Stress appeared. Leaves began "tacoing" (curling upwards) as a defense mechanism against high LED intensity and surface temperatures. • Week 6 (The Decline): Visible Nutrient Lockout occurred. While resin was being produced, the fan leaves turned pale yellow and developed necrotic (burnt) edges. Specific phenotypes on the right began to droop permanently, indicating root-zone dysfunction. • Week 7 (Systemic Collapse): The plants entered a state of Severe Dehydration. Despite moisture in the soil, the plants could no longer transport water to the canopy. Buds stopped swelling and became "stunted." • Final Action: An emergency harvest was conducted to salvage what little resin remained before the plants completely dried out on the stalk. 2. Root Cause Breakdown • Environmental Overload: Light intensity was likely too high for the plants to manage without higher CO2 or lower temperatures. This led to chronic transpiration stress. • Root Zone Lockout: In the "Living Soil" system, pH imbalances or excessive salt buildup likely caused a lockout, preventing the uptake of water and essential nutrients (P-K) during the critical bulking phase. • The Masking Effect: The dense cover crops may have made it difficult to accurately monitor soil moisture and oxygen levels, potentially contributing to root suffocation.

Bud Structure & Resin: Despite the earlier harvest, resin coverage is strong. Sugar leaves show solid trichome development, and bud formation remains compact and well defined. Aroma (During Drying): Update after Drying... The strain has not yet been tested, as it is still drying.

The smell is very gassy with sweet notes. The buds haven't become extremely compact. The color has held up and it's very sticky.

This strain is nice but it's not my fav terpene profile. I hadn't put any focus on this strain ..it was just there because of an accidental switch. It was sold to me as cap junky but turned out permanent marker :/ It does get u incredibly high tho :D

Dense, closed structure. Hairy. Green dominant, very sticky to the touch, still carrying a bit of moisture, but already announcing itself before you even break it open. Pungent sweet at rest. Dry aroma: sweet, gas with cream up front. Underneath there is sulfur and skunk. Intensity of smell 9 out of 10. Complex but not scattered. Ground, it shifts. The skunk and gas take over, what was compact opens up into something more direct. Same profile, just louder. Lit, the skunk holds. Flavor goes sweet with an unexpected menthol note, arriving only with heat. Dense smoke, full-bodied, not harsh. Goes down clean. The onset is fast. Hits the forehead first with subtle pressure around the eyes, cerebral before anything else. Then the body settles in quietly underneath. Deep and comfortable, awake anf functional, but in a weird way. The kind of high that keeps you present without letting you be particularly useful. I think it would not be a daily smoke, but rather a special one. Special thanks to Growbude (Berlin) for the genetics recommendations.

Gray-green buds, dense, frosty. The kind of visual that doesn't shout but delivers on inspection. Dry aroma: sweet up front, a touch of citrus, and underneath it all a light gassy note that keeps things interesting. Pine/mint is there too, but blended in, not announcing itself. Intensity 8 out of 10. Loud but classy. Complex but not overwhelming. Ground and unlit, it stays true: sweet and gas, clean and direct. Flavor diverges a little from the nose, which is always a good sign. The entry has something earthy, then vanilla shows up unexpectedly and earns its place. Gas threads through the middle. The aftertaste is sweet, slightly cakey, and it lingers in a way that makes you pause between hits. The effect is substantial but not yet overwhelming. No anxiety, no couch lock. Vision slows down noticeably, like the world decided to drop a few frames per second, but the mind stays sharp and present. Aware of everything, processing clearly, maybe even a little too clearly. Functional, clean, with real potency behind it. Worth coming back to. Special thanks to Growbude (Berlin) for the recommendations.

She was easy to grow and very resistant. Her smell on chop day was a spicy, creamy, sweet mint drop - in that order. Love the drip irrigation more and more, will use it every time from now on.

Great strain, highly vigorous, great internode spacing and lateral branching. Day 70 harvest, could probably have chopped her a little earlier. Terps came out creamy, cakey, hint of citrus and caramel. Solid harvest from her, over 4oz for her and just under 8oz out of a 2x3 was solid results for the free cuts. Ice Cream Cake is a great smoke, needs to cure but the smell off her is killer. High is heavy indica, smoke is just ultra smooth and creamy. Buds are dense and purple, just caked.

- Day 63 of Flower Light reduction to 50% - Day 65 of Flower Last time Watering - Day 67 of Flower Lights out for 3 days - day 70 of Flower Harvest Trichomes are about 15% amber and 80% cloudy with 5% clear Temperatures for drying gonna be 18°C and RH around 50%. She is looking beautiful and her Smell is so intensive you cannot unsmell it. Its Loud! Has Some Fruity (Plum or Tangie like), Soapy and Floral Notes to it. I cant wait for the smoke! - Update: The smell and smoke is amazing. Reminds me on Orange with soap.

So good

Poor bud structure. Great look, smell. Overall good bag appeal.

Sehr schöner Strain und sehr resistent gegen Krankheiten

Beast of a plant would love to see this outdoors.

Der Steckling hat lange durchgehalten und einiges ohne Probleme verkraftet

The terps are crazy. Gas, sweet, candy. Very trippy. No day strain. Dry harvest 33g

A

chopped 6/28 jarred 7/5 im trying a shorter dry time and a longer cure. i normally end up over drying and then drawing the rest of the moisture out. im going to keep the humidity jn betweem 58-65 while opening throughout the day to keep maintaing the humidity. keep in mind, if you do this, make sure you can keep your humidty low enough in the jar before yoy commit to leaving it closed over night. i check it by putting a bud or so in the jar and close it. watch the hygrometer and how fast the humidty rises. if you cant leave it closed long enough to keep closed over night, then make sure you dont seal it overnight. you will ruin it and get a sour sweet smell, that differs from the terpene profile
