Well what can I say. I messed up big time with this one. The grow was scheduled to finish around day 100 and 3 out the 4 plants where done by then. Due to over stressing this one and over watering I completely messed it up. Trying to keep her going past the day 100 mark was a mistake because I have only got a small quantity for hash. Lesson learned on this one.

Made little bases for them to keep them off the floor and this will most likely be the last time I change or move them around. Hoping to get a trellis net soon it'll be my first time. If anybody is actually looking at this id appreciate tips.

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of flowering. I think, after this week, I'll "not" close the tent at night. I've read that around the 50th degree latitude a plant will stay in flower if it is kept in dark for 3 weeks and put out after the summer solstice June 21st. As long as the light is getting less at night the plants will stay in flowering... So, 1 week to go and I'll leave the tent open. The buds are bulking up now. Smells like tropical skunk in and around the greenhouse. Won a runner up prize in a Ganja Farmers photo contest and for my prize I'll get, 3 seeds of Kush Mints, 3 of Animal Cookies and 3 of Gorilla Gelato. 2 mostly indica and 1 hybrid. Seed descriptions said they are strong. Oh Boy... OK. Be Cool. Chuck.

Soon to have yum yums! Myster Strain is purping up. So is 10th Planet. Marrion Berry is starting to color. Although not much at all. Temple Kush x Zkittlez better have something that I can't see. Snowcaine V2. is looking to win the "chunky girl" award and take home the yeild queen trophy. She has also stolen my "eye" from mystery strain. In the next 7 days they will start to come down! :) Gave the girls a bit of a poodle trim. Only did about half the tent due to time restrictions in my real world life. Hopefully there is enough time for the light to even them out down below. BingoBango!

I freaking love this plant. She's got dense buds already but she's throwing out pistils like no tomorrow. I'm curious to see how much bigger she's going to get in the next few weeks. Only a little over halfway done. She's already having trouble staying up right. I'm having to balance branches on other branches and using the ratchet hangers to keep the mains upright

Sweet Seeds Cream 47 grow 2020. Sweet Seeds Cream 47 was finally run and she was a great experience…….as always there was something to be learnt here but in the end these girls were super frosty and finished super fast! Done in 8 weeks Veg and you keep ALL the trim for further processing😊 Stayed under 30” for height and can fight off many issues including pests and temps……as well as cracked stems and broken branches😊 I believe I ordered these in 2018 after my first experience with Sweet Seeds and Gorilla Girl photo. I was so impressed I had wanted to try something else from them. Then I don’t know what happens…..something else newer or possibly more interesting at the time comes along and you push this seed pack to the back. For some reason AK47 has been the strain I have played with a couple variants of and these girls finally had their chance. The seed pack I have has a date stamp of 2016…….not a worry Growmies, seen lots of other growers popping 10 year old genetics from seed and thy will still work out fine. Just sharing a little reminder that its about storage…….I keep mine in a sealed container in a different fridge in a dark spot😊 As an example, these were 4 years old and I got two girls from my three seeds…..works for me😊 Beginning the diary……during germination everything is rosy and you are going to set things on fire!!!!!! Germination started on July 11/20 with two seeds. First one came up from coco 7 days later on July 18 and C472 was actually the third seed and was put into a rapid rooter on July 19 and came up from coco on July 23…….that left us with C472 actually being 5 days behind C471. Quick note….C472 was a bigger girl at the finish line even though she was 5 days younger and being grown in the 3 gal pot vs the 5 gal pot. Typical photoperiod process and went to solo cups and then to 1 gal and then a final upsize to either a 3gal or 5gal. I put one in each. At the start of this diary I wanted to focus on seeing the difference in yield between a 12L and 20L pot and is it worth the extra media and nutes? Well things change and you have to go with the punches😊 Early veg and building root mass……..come one girls, lets see some snow white roots!!!! The girls were grown in 90 – 80% coco and 10 - 20% Perlite……..COVID made many things hard to get here and there this past year and I believe and I even had to use some Vermiculite as I couldn’t get perlite. As in the previous couple of grows I battled pH drift in this run as well. Quick note…….I am now mixing my media with 65% coco, 25% peat, 10% perlite and the current run is doing very well for both autos and photos……pH is holding at 6.1 in media rather than damn 7.2 a couple of weeks later, may consider dropping peat a little next run to 20% or 15% and increase the coco by the same percentage to see the impact😊😊😊 By the end of 7 days they had a whopping 1 set of single blade fan leaves out and the thought of a second set of leaves. Then by the end of 14 days they really rocked and we had a set of 3 blade leaves out and a sliver of green forming the first set of 5 blade fan leaves……..on fire they were😊😊😊😊 With the girls facing an 8 week veg, I was in no rush. At the end 21 days they were roughly 7” tall and it was time for their first upsize to a 1gal pot. They were finally transplanted on day 23. C471 had a better root development that C472 and she was slightly bigger so was eyed as the pheno to get the 5 gal pot in the future. Usual Mycorrhizae added to the holes and in the pots and further microbes to supplement the girls. Need the roots to more plentiful than what they currently are. The girls loved the extra room and week 5 saw good growth as side branching developed and the leaves became bigger……on course! Late veg and forming a canopy for flower……SCROG or not?????: Weeks 4 and 5, plus the start of 6, the girls continued to flourish and grow in 1 gal pots. Being feed a couple of times a week they continued to progress. The girls had reached a little of 10” tall and it was time to top them. Not sure about LST or SCROG at this point, I knew they had to fill half the tent, so I went a head and topped the girls on day 37 between the fourth and fifth nodes. The girls grew a little different shaped fan leaves and they were more “pointy” and long in growth……and long lateral growth fan leaves. She wanted to grow laterally on her own…..bonus! The girls reacted will to the toping over the next days and kept a solid growth. This strain has tight node spacing and will not grow into 5’ monsters like the Gorilla Girl strain they were grown beside. Finally at day 50, Sept 6/20, the girls were given their final home and transplanted a last time. C471 with more vigorous growth was given the 5 gal pot to fill with roots while C472 was designated the 3 gal pot. I finally decided that a SCROG was going to be the answer because the other girls in the tent will need to be kept tied down. Problem was that these girls won’t stretch much but the other girls will……how the hell to SCROG that situation otherwise you have nodes 12” taller than others and creates a tough canopy to give the correct amount of light??? Solution was to put C47 girls on boxes and rise them up. Took a guess at the potential height difference in the strains and figured I should plant at least a 12” riser of some type. It actually worked out not to bad……they were coming through the top of the SCROG first but as they grew things balanced out between the strains😊 In week 9 the girls took off and we finally had a good canopy to start flower with……all the girls were down low and touching all sides of the tent and each other. Getting them ready to SCROG I decided to perform LST for a couple of weeks and ensure the branching grows to the side and not straight up. They formed 4 main tops on each girl and the side branches were thick. Bud Ignitor added to the feed in week 9 and we are ready…….lets change the light and watch the explosion Baby 😊😊😊 Still only positive thing happening in the grow to this point!! Flower time and filling up the tent with sticky buds………my F@#%ing tent is too small for the girls: Okay Growmies……we are on fire, all 4 girls are growing with pistols popping, branches bent everywhere and put in the first layer of the SCROG……..right on!! Soon reality sets in and the fictitious Gremlins arrive to F my grow and actions☹️ Getting ready for putting the net and decided to cut to low branches from C471 as they just don’t have any thickness to them. Concern was that she was now down to 6 main branches on her…..don’t break any!! Mid week I check the tent in the morning and there is a damn fan laying on top of C471!!! That’s no good but shit happens, no visible damage to the plant…..or the fan😊 So we get through week 1, IPM spray done and net is in, and moving into week 2 of flower my heart stopped when I noticed a huge crack in the main stem of C471……WTF??????? So on day 12 of flower I am looking at two girls with cracked main stems…..one C47 and one Gorilla Girl……WTF everything is the same, why did this happen for no apparent reason? Answer - - - - usual “grower F-up”…….I topped the girls to close to the lower node when done and I should have the scissors up against the node above and left a larger “nub” on top……I had them against the node below when I cut and little to no nub left on top!!!! Once they were trained a bit and started growing harder, the stem didn’t have any more strength and cracked right in the middle of the main stem! Learning point……remember to always leave a good piece of stem at the top when using scissors……hasn’t been an issue for me in the past when “pinching” tops as they develop, this was though☹️ So what to do now they are doing awesome????? Well, that is why I support Grow Diairies and continue to use the site outlining my grows……I asked for help and other opinions about what happened😊 Sure enough within hours, I had some input from fellow growers, thanks again @Mr_Motalovah who pointed out quickly what I had done because they had shared about what has happened to them in the past……thanks a bunch for the input Growmie….you rock!! Now that I know what I screwed up, we vaped a bunch of bud and put on the MacGyver Hat and fashioned some supports and ties out of a pool noodle, zip ties, tape, and more weed😊 Tied the girls up and kept the area moist for a week! She never did weld right back together at the crack because it was too major and at a high stress point for the branches. I feel this certainly contributed to C471 not being as big a yielder as I am sure she should have been. So now we are getting back on track, forget all the other shit of the last two weeks, stay positive and lets rock this grow😊 There was lots to be positive about as the second lay of SCROG is in, the girls are 20” tall and looking happy with leaves up. She has some huge fan leaves and starting to really show some trichomes already! Right on Sweet Seeds……they are pulling through and doing awesome now! Problem I am now having is keeping the air movement in the tent as these four girls are killing it and I am out of room. If I don’t help with more room or air movement, the yield and quality of the bud will suffer……they will finish and all is good but there will be lost opportunity. I really struggle to grow 4 plants in a 3’ x 3’ tent. I am always out of room and can’t get the light down as low as I want. This grow is a perfect example of that. Not to mention how to cool them off and reduce light intensity when ripening in the last two to three weeks?? I need a bigger freaking tent….finally bit the bullet and ordered a 4’ x 4’ tent for flower. Will then have a 4’ x 4’ for photos and keep one of the 3’ x 3’ for autos. Through week 3 of flower and going now Baby, just waiting on a new tent😊 Late flower and watching them buds swell……no worries now, let the deficiencies fly!!!: Now in week 4 of flower and the girls are getting very big. The trichome production has kicked in and they are looking happy everyday at this point. Tips up everyday and they are loving the light and feed at this point. Chugging along and feeling like we will feed them though week 6 and flush for weeks 7, 8, and 9 and take down about day 62 or so. Feed moved into Big Bud and silica going to keep the stems strong so they support the bud weight. Her nodes have stacked very well and for week 4 she is chunking out nicely! The girls are pretty dark green now at this point and looking healthy. Again, buds are big and they are frosty…..the grow is going very well. New tent finally arrives in week 5 and we move the girls to a new home with more room for air and light penetration lower on the branches. Had to cut the girls out of the SCROG and added bamboo to the other strain being run with these girls. Since C47 was not very tall, they were not supported. So feeling that everything is good and we are moving forward. Like I say, feeling good, but I think the girls had their issues in weeks 5 and 6 and I didn’t really pick up on it. They had battled high pH through the grow, again why the media change this run, and it seemed to stall the girls. I think I was so focussed on the success of the Gorilla Girls that I didn’t really pick on the fact these girls were slowing down. At any rate, they looked very good and frosty and still eating so we kept going, there were even resin rails beginning to form on fan leaves and they are 24” tall😊 LST helped to keep them short, along with topping. She is showing that she will make hash people happy!!! Awesome trichomes for this stage of growth…..excited as hell! We move into week 6 and start working on some flushing. She is dark now and concerning. Her hairs are starting to red here and there and I am seeing some colour in the buds. She smells of a strong floral or something that almost “stings” your sinuses…..sorry for description but it was good strong smell. Flush should have begun at the start of this week, six. Instead, it was not given until week 7, almost too late at this point. She had slowed down her drinking and was not uptalking much anymore. Her buds looked beautiful but her leaves were dark. Yup…..F#$% I missed her and she will not finish with the colours that she should. Not much you can do at this point. She was given Flawless Finish twice and roughly 7 days of plain watering before darkness. Then on November 8, Day 51 the girls went into darkness……..the trichomes had matured and it was time. This strain should have stopped her feeding at the end of week 5 and keep the water only for up for 2.5 weeks idea and colours should pop on her…….not one week like I did☹️ After two days of darkness the girls looked gorgeous and faded a little more than when they went in……right on. The buds are beautiful with the light colour of purple on some calyxes and red hairs in there. Frosty as all heck and sticky like crazy😊😊😊 Harvest, dry, cure and smoking Cream 47 from Sweet Seeds……..is she Sweet Smoke?? Remembrance Day was harvest for the girls. They ran their 53 days and its time to cut them down. It was a little surprising to see that C472 had better bud production that C471 since she was the slower grower. At the same time, it was not surprising as C471 had her stem split and this impacted her yield because of a challenge getting the amount of nutrients she wanted up the stem. She made it to the finish line though and was still making me smile at the end😊 can’t ask for much more than that really! Again, I wanted to compare 3 gal vs 5 gal but this diary simply didn’t work out that way. (one should also use clones for a better test of this and not seeds but its all good because I was just having fun😊) I hope that my pictures show her level of trichome production as very good to excellent. She has a lot of crystal in her buds and they are sticky. They hung for 10 to 12 days, took a couple of days to finish his time, and went it jars. I kept ALL fan leaves and of course sugar leaves…….in the freezer right now waiting for the next edible or hash run……grower bonus😊 not to mention the crazy good kief in the tray from trimmings you can enjoy as the grower😊 Full Melt Hash!!! The yield was not the largest for this girl and you can see that in the pictures by the amount of leaf in the buds. They didn’t swell right up……again going back to weeks 5 and 6 in flower I suspect☹️ This is my smoke and I am not worried about yield to be honest. Therefore, even though I only pulled a couple of ounces from each girl…….its primo smoke! The lung expansion is huge and takes my breath away for a couple of seconds as well😊 One dab the size of a rice grain for light weight friend and he was sleeping on the couch 15 minutes later😊 Anyone have insomnia issues?? She is a strong one but with my crazy tolerance she is a nice day to evening smoke for me. That will wrap it up for this grow and Cream 47 for 2020. Have a few ounces to enjoy plus still have another seed to keep the dream alive😀👍 Should have cloned her........there are so many options though👊 Still, would love to have ran her again knowing that she is done at the start of week 8 and hit the flush properly. On to the next one though. She was indeed Sweet Smoke!!! Cheers @Sweet_Seeds another one you should be proud of😍😎👊

Well week 15 and 5th week of flower started yesterday, 9/12. I did a little more defoliation over the weekend, maybe cut 20 leaves altogether. Everything is still looking good. Temps are good, rh is good, airflow is definitely good. And judging by the frosty trichs that are showing I'd say everything is right on schedule. Starting to get more smell. That's about it for now. Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

The girls have survived another week ❤️ I did a light defoliation and have been monitoring the RH closely. We have had a very damp week here, and the RH kept climbing and had my fan working hard. They are starting to plump up and fill in 😋. They have also started to slow their drinking habits, instead of watering every three days, it has moved to every 4 now. Just a couple of weeks left, I think I will be harvesting these over Christmas 🎄, and will have some great bud ready for the new year! 🎉🎊🍾

Day 22 - 8/5 - I'm liking Plagron, I'm just going to stop checking ppms in or out from now on, just 5.8 ph for now. - 5.5" tall today! - So easy, just making a gallon every other day with the grow, some silica (if i want...no pressure here), and some cal mag...not in that order of course LOL. Loving this easy mix! Day 23 - 8/6 - No feed today, still on every 2 days - Lana got another tip of a leaf! OOPS AGAIN! - I went ahead and cut off the first 2 fan leaves and nodes. Day 24 - 8/7 - Gave her Gal of easy mixing today - 6" tall!!! Day 25 - 8/8 - 6.5" - No changes and No water today Day 26 - 8/9 - Noticed some cal mag deficiency, will adjust - Increased her cal mag to 3.5ml per gal (I had her on only 2ml/gal) - Lana has struck again! Bit off half of another leaf. Poor plant! Day 27 - 8/10 - 7" tall - No water Day 28 - 8/11 - Still 7" tall - 5.8ph still - She's starting to look a bit hungry too, will start to increase feed to full strength of the plagron next watering or two. **She's moving right along...no thanks to pretty girl Lana LOL. She loves to just sun bathe in the tent. She gives me a look and I can't say no to that little face!!! Who could?! I'm thinking about flipping her soon. There's this little voice in my head that keeps saying over and over "you should flip soon, you should flip soon" (cough, cough...spouse). We shall see though!

SUMMARY: The OG has grown so much these last couple of weeks and now towers over the Amnesia like a giant. It is really starting to flower now too which is good because looking at how slowly the Amnesia is growing over the last 2 weeks I really can't see me getting the 1.5-2oz yield I was hoping for come harvest. Both plants doing fine and coming along ok. OG now drinking 5L every 48hrs and the Amnesia drinking 3.5L (though I'm still giving 4L). I switched up to the GWE updated mid bloom nutes for the OG towards the end of the week and continued with the Sensi Garden peak flowering nutes for the Amnesia this week. I continued with some light defoliation this week removing the odd lower leaf and some fan leaves covering bud sites that I couldn't tuck. DAY 72 -------- Friday 13/11/2020 I fed the plants, updated GWE early bloom nutes for OG and sensi garden peak flower nutes for Amnesia. OG (in) = 5L pH 6.5 OG (out) = 1.3L (26%) pH 5.6 [0.9 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.5 Amnesia (out) = 1.5L (38%) pH 5.7 [0.8 drop] The OG is really starting to flower now especially at the top where it is very close to the light. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't suffer light burn but nothing I can do as the light is as high as it can go. The pH of the medium is slowly rising for both and both plants are looking healthy with no leaves dying off or yellowing. I bought a USB microscope and checked the trichs out, all clear from what I can see which is great because I really want to push this for another 4 weeks if possible (15 weeks total) to give the OG a chance to bloom. I like a good couch lock so providing I can keep the plants alive and keep the humidity low enough to avoid bud rot I think it might just be possible. DAY 74 -------- Sunday 15/11/2020 I fed both plants, GWE updated schedule Mid-Blom nutes for the OG and some more Sensi Garden Peak Flower nutes for the Amnesia. The humidity has been steady at around 48-55% the last few days which is odd as we have had a lot of wet weather. I have removed around 15-20 leaves (total - only 2-4 removed from Amnesia) from both plants over the last week so perhaps that has helped with reducing the humidity a little as it usually sits around 60-65%. OG (in) = 5L pH 6.5 OG (out) = 1.25L (25%) pH 5.5 [1.0 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.5 Amnesia (out) = 1.5L (38%) pH 5.8 [0.7 drop] DAY 75 -------- Monday 16/11/2020 I mixed 5L of GWE updated schedule mid-bloom nutes for the OG and 4L of Sensi Garden peak flower nutes for the Amnesia. Both made with rainwater both pH'd to 6.4. I am feeling concerned about the runoff pH still not rising to 6.0 yet, perhaps I'm being impatient but it has been 16 days since I started giving strictly 6.5 (01/11/2020) and I know that the plants need the pH to vary within range in order to be able to uptake all available nutrients. Whilst the pH may be in range I believe certain nutrients cannot be absorbed at a pH of 6.5 and I want to get back to being comfortable feeding the plants between 5.8 and 6.2 (a reported "sweet spot" I've read from numerous sources online). As it has been over 2 weeks of strictly 6.5 I am going to try and slowly lower by 0.1 each feed and see how they respond. In any case, both plants look healthy and are growing and flowering and not showing any signs of issues. DAY 76 -------- Tuesday 17/11/2020 I gave the plants some pH'd rainwater. I intended to give them both water at 6.5 however I didn't have time and so the Amnesia water was pH'd to 6.4. I also did some more light defoliation removing 5-6 leaves from the OG and 2-3 leaves from the Amnesia, again just to allow more light to lower bud sites. The RH has been between 48-55% the last few days but is at 60% today. The plants both look healthy with no yellowing leaves or nute burn (perhaps the tiniest bits on the odd leaves of the amnesia). OG (in) = 5L pH 6.5 OG (out) = 1.15L (23%) pH 5.4 [1.1 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.4 Amnesia (out) = 1.55L (39%) pH 5.8 [0.6 drop] Looking at how slowly the Amnesia is growing over the last 2 weeks I really can't see me getting the 1.5-2oz yield I was hoping for come harvest.

Just touched week 7 and started it’s first flush today, this plant has a nice structure and is getting frostier by the day. Surprisingly it is only just now starting to show it’s smell / profile which is fruity atm. Buds are nice and dense - still got 2/3 weeks to go
