*Here is a link to video on the Harvest. https://youtu.be/aZUOrljaioc 9/23/23 - Day 114 - Today was going to be the Chop, but I will wait one more day. I was not able to dedicate the full time I needed to make this happen today, so I decided I would give it one more day. One thing I am noticing is the color of the leaves. I've always wanted to grow a strain that has purple in it, and it looks like this plant turned super purple. I couldn't tell because of the lights. 9/24/23 - Day 115 - I'm 2hrs away from chopping. With the Leaf box, you have to stay on your timeline, No rushing it, and no waiting. Always right on time. I started the grow at 3 pm 115 days ago so from 3 pm - 3 pm is a full 24/hrs. I'll update after 3 p.m. I already have my tripod, tools, cleaning materials, etc., up and ready. We will drain the water, ill then remove the roots and clean out the tub. Then, I'll start to remove the branches one at a time. Once they are removed, I will then get the hanging supports in place. Then I will hang them upside down and hope there is enough room. :) I've noticed I have a lot of views on this grow. One thing I feel I should do a better job of (based on all the messages I received) is documenting the process that I follow throughout the grow. So I'll start my next grow in November. I'll document it with better "this is how I do this in Leaf" type details. 2 hours and counting! See you at 3 PM! 9/24/23 - I started at 3 p.m. and finally finished around 9 p.m. Holy shit, am I tired...... I have a lot of pictures and videos to upload. I'll add some photos tonight with some videos to follow tomorrow. I don't know how much I have yet, I need to wait until I can jar them to weigh them. I was able to get all the buds off and hung. With a couple of bags of A/B stock (Snicklefritz) of leftovers that I didn't want to hang. In just the Snicklefritz, I had 219g of wet buds. Ill know the full dry amount in a couple of days. I was REALLY happy with the amount of buds. There were more than 75 branches of bud to hang/dry. Its the most weed I have grown ever. Now that the buds are all back in the box. The Leaf box will handle all of the drying process. It will maintain temperature as well as humidity. I now wait and check daily to check for dryness. Here is a link to video on the Harvest. https://youtu.be/aZUOrljaioc 9/26/23 - The buds are way more dry today. Im getting some really nice citrus smell from them. I think one more day should work before I start putting them in jars. I already trimmed them. Its a prefrence on trimming before/after drying. Becuase I had so much I wanted to make sure there was enough air space. This is my first grow in this box so this will be floor, theres no where to go but up from here. Im hoping to finish out this journal in September with a final weight.

12/23 - Harvest! I spent just shy of 5 hours trimming this lady. She is classed as an "XXL" variety and it would certainly seem so! I'm hoping to set yet a new personal record with this harvest, but I won't know till she has fully dried. She ended up as 628g wet and 178g of frosty trim for hash later. To be clear, because the harvest page doesn't reflect it properly, she was ScrOGed into an 18"x18" footprint (1/4 of a 3'x3' tent). Also, the whole tent is lit with 2x Mars Hydro SP150. Each one is 140w at the wall and has a flowering footprint of 18"x36". Since I used two of these lights for two flowering plants, regardless of footprint, I will be giving my GPW figure here in the comments based on usage of 140w. (2 plants/2 lights = 1 light/plant) I will update further as drying progresses. 12/26 - Plants dried somewhat quicker than desired due to lower RH (45%). All told, 126g dry weight not counting any trim. 126g/140w = 0.9GPW. One thing that is very noticeable as it dries is the emergence of a specific citrus/pine scent that is closest to Mango as I can describe. The Herbal and Peppery aspects seem to die down as the Mango gets much stronger with dry, and I'm hoping even more so with a good, proper cure. Smoke report to come within the next 2 weeks.

This week I Realised I'd used the wrong feed chart so I was over feeding 🙄 the leaves burnt on a few plants so I've only fed them water this week and will resume feeding from next week. There are still no pre sex pistils showing but it can't be far off now. As soon as pistils start to show I'll start feeding bloom feed. I've turned the light up to 30000lux using HLG's online calculator for converting a lux meter/app reading to PAR , my light is 3000k which with lm301H Led's works out @ 465ppfd which is about the max the plants can use in veg without supliments co2. Here's the link for anyone using quantum boards, it has different spectrum calculators. It's been really useful setting my light up so big thank you to HLG (even though I have a Geeklight) and a thank you to the GML show on YouTube for bringing it to growers attention (I love that weekly show, so much info and perspective) https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd Hope everyone's staying safe and growing 😎

Shitty weather wooooooop, too cold and too rainy. they have been sitting inside mostly near the window with the CFL as support. Not ideal but I'd rather have less bud than rotten bud. That being said they are fattening up nicely. Trich show more milk and the occasional amber (only saw 2 to be honest). Lower nodes are still pretty clear and still have lots of white pistils. I am thinking 1 more week of feed then start the 2 weeks of flushing. Having a hard time watering them evenly with all the LST straps. Expecting a tiny watering can one of these days to get that even watering job.

It's hard work in peaky's gardens!These beautiful wonders grow healthy and vigorous and I hope their cycle will remain balanced throughout their life I'm testing a new line of fertilizers that I've never used before...and I think they and I have done a great job to date

E aí vamos nós! Quero agradecer a toda a equipe da Fastbuds por me mandar essas seeds. Em meu país é muito difícil encontrar genética boa de verdade, então foi uma benção para mim. Essa Kosher eu resolvi fazer no kokostec e usarei GH com Fórmula de Lucas, knf e micorrizas. Nesse inicinho aplico apenas enzimas e microorganismos benéficos para a raíz. Enfim, acompanhe, e qualquer sugestão ou critica, fala comigo!

3-30-20 Yummy! That's all I can say when I open up the tent. Will up their feed strength next res change since I think they could use a bit more nutrients. 4-4-20 Week 5 coming to an end and things are looking good and smelling better! Frost is starting to pile on these girls nicely. One thing I did notice on one of the Cali Sunsets is that some of the top most leaves are starting to turn purple from the backside. Don't know if its the strain or maybe a P Def? We'll have to wait and see I guess

Week 10 going well, Gelato is thriving.. what beautiful looking plant.. tall, with many branch sides, full of buds, everywhere 😍 the smell is getting stronger each day and it’s full of trichomes, frosty one.. I am really impressed by these 2 of genetics from barneys(gelato and sour d) but to be honest all genetics I have grown from them never disappoints.. all really good ones.. barneys farm coming hot on my tents.. let’s go

Es geht den Pflänzchen weitgehend gut. Habe die Lampe inzwischen auf 75% Leistung wingestellt, da die gestretchten Headbuds alle zu verkümmert waren… leider etwas zu spät. Ich denke 2 von 5 Pflanzen werden nur ein Bruchteil ihren Potenzials ausschöpfen. Aber die anderen umso mehr vorallem der vorne rechts der Wachstumsprobleme hatte, hat durch die Distanz zur Lampe sehr profitiert. Da sind teilweise wirklich heftige Harzkeulen dabei unter anderem einfach Fan Leafs die komplett gezuckert sind. Auch die Farbe des Zuckers is teilweise lila geworden. Ich hoffe noch auf ein bisschen farbliche Variation aber evtl macht mir da der Sommer mit seinen Temperaturen ein Strich durch die Rechnung. Ich werde vermutlich nur noch 1 mal Düngen da ich teilweise Anzeichen von leichtem Nährstoffbrand habe und dann flush ich die kleinen. Aber abgesehn von meinem Fehler mit dem Hitze und Energiestress durch die Lampe. Auch hier scheinbar echt nen bomben Genetik. Aber endgültige Meinung erst beim , trockenen Rauchtest.

Week 3 flowering. Buds are slowly forming, plants still going good, cold weather is hitting my area now, hope it won't last long, might extend flowering period by a couple days if it stays this cold.

Hello fellow growers, It's already week 6 and she's doing excellent as far I can tell. She is slowly developing her bud sites and my girlfriend says it's getting pretty stinky in there. I switched to bloom nutrients this week. The only thing I am still indecisive about is whether or not I should defoliate, tuck the leaves or leave her alone. I asked a few other growers and it seems like a polarizing topic. Please feel free to give your opinion 👍. That's it for now! As usual, thanks for stopping by, and see you next week 😎.

High GD community, I cant believe its 3 weeks since ive started this grow. Time flies!!! The lights are only 3 days in a better position. First it was tight up to the roof, now ive changed that so i can easely change height. I also only use 190w of the 320 available. So they still need to adapt to the new settings. Ive thrown some alpha alpha seeds in there and allready some not composted tomato seedlings start to pop up. They are still in their first pots of 2l, because rooting is not yet to the bottom. But they are standing on their future housing. I have to say, im quite pleased with how the soil looks. Theres not to much big pieces of uncomposted materials. I hope to see some exponential growth coming days, so next week transplant is on schedule. Thats it for this week Grow safe buds 🙏🍀🍀🍀🙏

After three weeks in the solo cups I transplanted to 1 gallon pots and three days later I noticed yellowing on one of the plants so in 16oz of water I mixed in 1/4 tsp of Epsom salt and gave it to both plants in fear of magnesium deficiency but the other plant is thriving and growing strong.
