10/21- Flower has begun!! I've been gradually removing growth from under the canopy that I dont anticipate will become sizeable buds. Now we wait for the stretch. Took a few clones to try my hand at that. Air is drying out big time lately. I'm probably going to have to give in and buy a humidifier because it's going to be essential to keep my buds from drying out too fast and keeping these plants in healthy rh range. Despite humidity swings, plants seem to be doing well across the board so I already have a leg up on my last grow. I sprayed for bugs as a precaution. Neem and peppermint Castille soap diluted in water was the choice. Left a residue on my plants though so live been keeping my light between 30-40% and gradually turning up the intensity each day until I reach where I was(70) I dont want to burn my leaves because I have treating for bugs before. I will add pictures this weekend. This is posted on Day one so there's really not too much change to show in the plants. Really excited to see how they develop over the next 2 weeks. 10/24 Added pics of two plants. I accidently deleted my shoot of GZ 2 and I don't feel like taking them out of the tent again because it's a bit of a pain with the net. It's much taller than it's sister and maybe the healthier plant at this point. Moby dick is a bush, very healthy even still. No real signs of flower yet. They do seem to be stretching a bit but when you look everyday it's hard to tell. I'm hoping to have a really nice canopy in a week.

This is the best scent I’ve ever smelled. And the best strain to grow — super stable and not picky at all!

Hello, readers! Pretty good growing week. I did defoliation couple of times this week. Still, don't understand is it too much of too few leaves. Seems to be ok. I noticed PPM raised to 1600 Oo I added water to the solution, it became 1450 ppm. So i decided to change solution again. Last time i was doing it 10 days ago, I hoped not to do it this week 😁 Taste of smell is the same, but it's getting much more concentrated. Feeding: (Kinda Micro) NPK20, B 0.01, Cu 0.02, Fe 0.04, Mn 0.01, Mo 0.002, Zn 0.002 - 0.25 gr/liter. (Kinda Grow) N 15.5 CaO 26 - 0.22 gr/liter. (Kinda Bloom) NPK 0 0 51 + So3 34 - 0.34gr/liter (Kinda Bloom) NPK 0 52 34 - 0.32 gr/liter. Orthophosphoric acid 85%(H3PO4) - 0.06 ml/liter

This time the plant grew up pretty big buds but in the last 2 weeks the climate turned to summer so my plant was under heat stress and showed signs of herma but nonetheless it is a very wonderful plant.

Not getting enough light coverage due to the light the tent came with and the inline fan not doin anything at all honestly but still doin pretty good so far hopefully I don't get bud rot before I can make it to my first harvest... I know it would be way better with a Grow Abby soil edition 😜

start of LST (gentle bending some branches) one of the laddies are getting taller than her sisters! Overall progress seems to be normal, the laddies are getting bigger and stronger day by day! Watering 500 Ml per day !

More defoliation later this week, will update photos :) ... bud sites just barely starting to form, I absolutely love this strain, it's not like other Cali Kush I've tried, it hits like an indica, so much so, we use is as a night time herb

Switch to flowering stage Day #38 12/12 with red LED light from tonight on. ScrOG net Is on. Pots are still wet, no need to water. I defoliated a little bit, then I'll let the alone for a while. I need to find a environment for the clones. It stresses me a bit but I don't want to kill those 4 little clones, not voluntarily. Day #40 I still tend to water too much but I'm slowly learning. Watered until saturated with Biogrow and Atami B Cuzz a +b (for coco, whatever),a swell I added a bit of magnesium nutrient by Cifo, a garden store brand. Trying to understand how to ScrOG. I built a small growbox with leftovers from my garage. Not a penny was spendt in this operation. Clones are still alive. Starting a new diary. Last night reading blogs I discovered 💡🌟🔆 Photone App 💡🌟🔆, a free grow light meter https://growlightmeter.com/download/ They also have a web guide to establish how much light your canopy needs in the moment https://growlightmeter.com/calculator/ . In pre flower it figured out I need 1100 umol of red LED light (calculation DLI). I adjusted my light height accordingly, It was too close. Very, very useful. Those guys in switzerland deserves a huge kudo. Day #42 Growth Is fast. I snapped a branch trying to ScrOG so I repaired It with wire, as I done with tomato before. Watered with some broth and my own nutrient I use in my garden. I defoliated a Bloom that was facing down. Humidity at 60%, I'm struggling with It a bit. Dehumidifier in the room Is now set at higher setting. Happy growing. Any advice is apreciated.

Day 56 Flower — final update before chop. This’ll be the last live update for this run — I’m planning to cut next week and will drop a proper harvest post once everything’s dry and weighed. Gotta say I’m stoked: buds are looking sick, smells are off the charts and after 8 years I can’t wait to finally burn my own harvest. Quick real-talk: biggest headache this run was the night humidity (box was sitting in a wet cold garage — nights were brutal). I ordered the Spider Farmer heater ages ago expecting it to sort that, but shipping got messed up and it never showed on time. If I didn’t already have their inline fan and controller I probably would’ve cancelled and gone another route. Still — despite the rough nights the plants pulled through and the colors/terps turned out gorgeous. Lights/Setup note (what I saw): LED for veg worked great — compact, short internodes, dense canopy. HPS gave the flower its extra stretch and way denser colas — difference was obvious in top size and nug density. Next round I’ll run veg under LED and flip flower to HPS for that chunky, heavy bud structure. General impressions & vibes: Resin city. Most tops are sticky and frosty as hell — touch a cola and your fingers get that gooey, sweet grime immediately. Colours are stunning: purples, bronzes and deep greens — especially on the kush phenos. Cold nights helped bring that out even though they stressed the tent a bit. Canopy filled nicely — lots of even colas across the screen. Smell is absolutely lovely: sweet, cake-y, kushy funk depending on the corner. Strain-by-strain notes (photos + what I noticed) Wedding Cake Portland — sweetest, creamiest nose. Tops are tight and resinous with nice amber pistils coming through. Made some of the chunkiest, most fragrant flowers in the tent. Beautiful frost. Kush Crasher — most frosty of the bunch. Leaves and buds look like they were powdered with sugar. Strong kush terp profile, darker leaves. Real eye-catcher. AK-47 — classic structure, reliable resin and nice citrus/earthy notes. Good mid-bud density, chunky and fragrant. Very consistent. Double Krush — leaner colas but loaded with crystals. Has that layered aroma profile — kush backbone with sweet overtones. Looks like it’ll smoke quite smooth. Wappa — star of the show for me. Fat main colas, gorgeous purple bronzing and a sticky, punchy aroma. Dense, hard buds that scream quality. If there’s a top-shelf winner in this round, it’s Wappa — chunky, potent and beautiful. Big shout: Wappa brought the goods. Detroit Runtz — sweet and fruity, bag appeal for days. Colas are a touch lighter but super sparkly and smelly, classic runtz vibes. Run summary / final thoughts I made mistakes (low nights + humidity were a pain), but overall the plants handled it — produced crazy-looking, fragrant, sticky flowers. I flushed with plain water the last week and let the plants finish their thing. Next run I’ll tweak light strategy (veg LED, flower HPS) and sort the heat/humidity earlier so I’m not battling the box at critical weeks. Big ups to the girls — they pulled through and rewarded me with proper frosty buds. Also big frowny face to Spider Farmer for the late heater delivery — if you’re reading this, sort the logistics — shipping delays hurt growers (I’d been waiting since mid-November). If you want to make it right, you know where to DM. Closing lines for Wappa: Wappa was my pride this run — chunky as hell, super sticky, colors that pop and a terp punch that’ll make heads turn. Proper show-stealer. Can’t wait to chop and see what she smokes like. Harvest next week — will post dry weights and final pics. Stay tuned. ✌️🍃🔥

She is such a pleasure to grow, easy and not fussy. Added a handful of bat guano and worm casts for the last time. She is releasing a strong odora especially before lights off, she has a narcotic smell, skunky and afghani no vanilla so far.
