WEEKLY UPDATES:
10/11- Week Eight! Here we go on our way to sticking a fork in this run!
Her fade is in full swing and she's putting out trichomes like crazy! Hopefully by the end of this week she'll be hanging after she spends a couple of nights in the dark.
I watered today using straight water that's ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉. I gave her a 1g to keep her flush going and then turned her pot.
Trichome status: 70% milky / 30% clear
10/13- I watered today with 0.75g of straight water that was ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉ and gave her pot a turn.
She's progressing in her fade and is still bulking up. Her trichomes aren't quite where I like them yet, so more than likely she'll be going in the dark by next weekend! She is one beautiful cultivar! 🤩💚
10/15- My routine of watering every other day continues. Yesterday I watered her with her usual 1.5g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉ and gave her pot a turn. Today was just spent checking her over, turning her pot and doing a quick check of her trichomes which are close, but not quite ripe enough yet!
10/17- Wow!... Eight weeks of flower DONE! 😎👍
Now my sights are set on getting this girl finished up and on her way to 48 hours in the dark before she's hung to begin drying.
I went ahead and watered her with her usual 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.7 @ 72℉ and checked her trichomes, which are looking just about right!
This journey is coming to a close in the next couple of weeks with her harvest, drying and trimming up. I so appreciate you following along with me , it's been a blast sharing with you all! 😎🙏
~Thanks so much for checking out my diary! This epic run is in the home stretch with harvest fast approaching...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~
This week promises to be exciting so don't forget to check in! Harvest time will be here before you know it and I'm getting stoked to see the results! 😎🙏💚
~Thanks for stopping in! This epic run is in the home stretch with harvest fast approaching...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

Hello friends here we are in week seven of flower. Sorry there was no daily time lapse or pics went out on vacation. So today Day 105 12/24/2021 marks the end of the week, She is coming along nicely and the smell is just WOW. She should be ready to start flush after next week. I checked the Trichomes and mostly all cloudy few clear and few amber. Also got a new tent last night that will be setting up for next year grow.

Left these ones out a bit to long and not nearly enough love, so they suffered a bit but that's ok. I am going to experiment and try water curing the buds. First time ever using this method and I think it will make a good little project. No idea how to it will turn out, been reading it will remove most of the smells and that sucks but the smoke is very clean and light. Only time will tell. take about 7 days to fully water cure. bud washing helped get rid of a lot of extra that stuck to them outside.

Looking good.
Shes stretching like crazy!
Showing some more little pistils
on some bud sights.
I watered her with nutes yesterday night and
checked on her today and shes getting a little yellow
i know its not light burn because i moved my light up higher
the night before just in case.
Other than that shes super green and is getting bigger in flower
I just realized i did my math wrong and but double the nutes so im
gonna water her heavy with some regular water
Shes growing more bushy then she is tall.
Shes stretched a bit but not to much yet.
Im hoping tomorrow they look good.
Couldnt get the best pictures cause my camera doesnt have macro

16.2.25:
I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage.
I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves.
However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining.
There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too.
I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it.
🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see.
I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients;
♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster
♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys
I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes.
18.2.25:
The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast!
Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above.
I watered a very small amount to each plant.
What I put in:
♡ Black strap molasses 150g
♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients.
I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4.
19.2.25:
I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately.
I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster.
I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing.
I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗
I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients:
♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A
♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B
♡ .5g Sea K(elp).
The plants drank this up within a few hours.
I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then.
20.2.25:
My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in.
I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in.
I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp).
I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂
So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons;
♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle
♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano
♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge
♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Day 1: Night humidity becoming difficult to control,decreased no of plants and improved air flow.
Day 2 : Ph related leaf changes seen on leaves.water water.
Day 3 : Add fruiting guano and supplement with 6 l of co2 during fans off time while lights on.
Day 4 : Nute lock is resolving after flush.I reckon lights too close light burn mimicking nitrogen deficiency??
To use max ppfd of 900 to be safe.
Day 5: Flowering tea ( pineapple peel,brown sugar,guano,basalt rock dust,kelp meal) smelling fermenty but sweet 😋..curious if I could drink it 🍺
Day 6 : Plants bouncing back,time to dial in Temps,humidity etc

Day 42-49
(Day 42) Just watered today but couldn’t go until runoff because I didn’t have enough RO. I forgot to add the probiotic too. Nonetheless, everything is starting to recover from those weird deficiencies and is looking super healthy. Plants are really bushing out now too. I had to top the zkittlez and BBB#3 again as they are just getting too big. Nothing is definitively showing sex yet but I’m seeing clues. Shouldn’t be long now. If I get 4 females or less I will use 10gal pots, 5-7 fem 5gal pots and 8-12 3gal pots.
I need to stop overwatering. Even though it doesn’t look too overwatered, it is much better to water a little bit each day at lights on. This will help keep the humidity down as well as deliver optimal oxygen to the roots speeding up plant growth considerably.
(Day 45) Gave an EM1 spray down today. The beneficial bacteria is said to overpopulate surfaces so powdery mildew and septoria can’t form. Something seems to be really working as I haven’t seen any yet.
(Day 47) I sealed up the tent and am running both dehumidifiers and it’s keeping the RH around a safe 70% night and day which is right on track with VPD. Plants are all looking super healthy. Deficiencies have pretty much all cleared up. Cold nights I’m running 600w and warmer nights I’ll run 400w.
I was asking around Instagram about white ash/good burn and a few different people assured me it has to do with mineral content of the soil. I was told the three best products for clean ash is glacial rock dust/basalt, oyster shell flour and langbeinite. I already have langbeinite so I’ll grab the other amendments today and top dress.
I grabbed the amendments and also got some Destiny Organics dark matter super soil, coco and some beneficial nematodes. Top dressed each amendment except langbeinite and mulched in some coco coir.
(Day 48) My shelf came in today and I think it may be to big for the 4x4 tent. Each square is 12”, not the 11.8” advertised. I could wipe down my flower room and set it up in there which would give my plants a good adjustment to the new lights before I flip. Or I could set it up in the veg tent but that seems like a huge hassle as the need to be moved and flipped soon anyway. I wish they would show sex already so I can toss out the plants I’m not keeping.
For flower I am considering starting over fresh with the new Destiny soil and coco mixed with some amendments. I’m concerned that my current mix might be too hot. I could also dilute it with the Destiny/coco mix. Those little bulb mites that came in with the worm castings are a little concerning as well. Some say they are just beneficial composters aka “worm bin mites” and others are telling me they’re predatory bulb mites which destroy crops like garlic. I’m leaning towards beneficial composters but in another grow I watched them devour a seedling before it sprouted. Gotta check the current roots but the plants aren’t quite ready to be transplanted.
(Day 49) Got everything in the flower tent wiped down and sprayed with alcohol then EM1 few hours later. Got the shelf set up and got all my temp controls set up and running. I put the controllers outside the tent this time and will patch any light leaks. Gave a lite compost tea at 830ppm and a velokelp foliar spray at 6ml/L. This will be the last veg feeding before I transplant into their final containers on the 31st.
BCTG#2 is a confirmed male and I pulled him. No one else is showing definitively. Roots looked super healthy with very few mites but I’m not 100% convinced they’re all clean. I saw a few mites on leaves today too.
Saw a bit of droop after the move but they all look happy just a few hours later.
Took a few clones from some sucker branches on a few of the blackberries.

it has stretched a bit under the sun because she had only about 4-5 hours of direct sunlight everyday on my window.
Then I decide to move her indoors for flowering phase.

Everything is looking good so far. They’re all done stretching and the cheese and black garlic have stretched the most. I adjusted each plant with boxes to create a more even canopy. Buds are swelling up nicely. The two black berry breath plants are looking swollen and fantastic. I don’t like the structure and bud size of the black garlic plants and will not be running them again. Although, they’re getting quite keify and the breeder claims they have a genetic trait that make them put on most of their weight late in flower. So far I’m not too impressed by their size. The seedsman Badazz OG cheese has got good node spacing and structure but has very little trichs and smaller buds. I was just running the cheese to test old European genetics and my bias is starting to confirm my bias. Dutch and Euro genetics are shit. The slurricane #4 is looking fantastic in terms of frost but the buds are lacking a little in size. I’m going to do the 21 day strip today. I should have done most of this defoliation earlier in veg but right now is still fine. Ice cream cake #1 hermed which isn’t at all surprising so I scrapped her. At least it gives me more space to get in and tend to the rest of the plants. I got a pump sprayer to get in a bit closer to the plants as well.

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱
Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼
Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱
Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱
Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

Starting week 6 both plants are growing well. growing super well. I purchased some Mammoth P at my local hydro shop so I'm curious to see how this will help.
Day 36- Watered with .6 mL MammothP phd to 6.4 w/100%distilled water. Also got a new camera for the grow. just wanted to do time lapse for fun so I uploaded a quick 7 hour lapse for shits and gigs👍
Day 38- Watered again with .6ml/g w/mammoth p phd @ 6.4 .
Day 40- Feed with NFTG mid flower schedule. No foliar feed, I added Bloom Khaos directly to water this time around.
I got a wattage meter to test the spider farm sf2000 wattage. Looks like it hits 198 which is 4 wats lower than what they claim so still pretty accurate. The plants really fucking love love this light!!

Flushed HARDCORE this week!! Ladies are not looking well nor do they seem like they’re reacting to the flush well either!! Almost seems like they’re locked out but also having deficiencies! I could use some advice on this. 3/5 of the taller plants have yellowed out and the other 2 look great!! Pretty much all the same watering and neuts. I think the issue was that I’m using fabric pots and not allowing enough penetration to the bottom and it created a salt pocket. Correct me if I’m wrong
Updated a few more pics of the deficiency/lockout issues all the help is appreciated thanks to everyone whose chiming in and helping!! Y’all the real deal!!

Was a little bit challenging for me, due to the outdated nutrients table, mostly on the Flowering period, also little thing like i have to fill more the pots, also with this kind a strain and also with cuts instead of seeds, may be is better to don't do the topping and don't loose time and energy on the vegetative period. At the same time, more or less about the 8th week of flowering it starts to appear something like Alternalia or Overfeed of Phosphor still don't sure. All this issues have impact the grow in terms of the size of the branches and the whole plant, the size of the buds and the hardness.
In strictly terms about the strain, the quality is out of mind, amount of resin is crazy, just have to improve my skills and get bigger crops
