How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!! Hugs Bud!!! PS. Should you be interested in Shamanism or Teacherplants by anything I mentioned.

Final update: Very happy to announce that this dairy had won the sixth place best diary of August 2021. My prize came in yesterday and I'm very happy!! Thank you Growdiaries!! Thank you Fastbuds!!! Thank you all my grow buddies here for the love and support!! Hope to see you all, maybe at a future Growdiaries Meet and Greet? Wouldn't that be a lovely idea, per country and a yearly one on a different continent every year? The Growdiaries Conference. Would be a great Hemp growers fair... I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds

The Superboof harvest was impressive, yielding large, crystal-covered buds with a captivating aroma. What's truly striking is the deep purple hue revealed when the buds are broken apart, adding a unique visual element to its already impressive qualities.

Still no signs of flowering yet, maybe first little sight of calyx growth. Hopefully will hit 4ft! Been using cinnamon to top my substrate to prevent algea growth.

Bonjour Ă  tous les padawans et les maĂźtres jedis Pour cette semaine 3 au jour 19 ma plante fais 21 centimĂštres et son septiĂšme noeud apparaĂźt je dĂ©cide donc de pratiquer un LST sur ma plante. Pour ce j'utilise du fil de fer galvanisĂ© que je plante directement dans le substrat en faisant attention de ne pas endommagĂ© les racines car n'oublions pas que ce qui pousse dessus pousse aussi dessous. Jour 17 je pulvĂ©rise du une solution composĂ© d'une cuillĂšre Ă  cafĂ© de savon noir mou (marque briochin) diluĂ© dans un demi litre d'eau en prĂ©vention d'Ă©ventuels nuisibles. Pourquoi le savon noir mou ? Savon noir : quelle utilisation pour le jardin ? Le savon noir est un produit naturel dont les propriĂ©tĂ©s nettoyantes sont connues depuis l'AntiquitĂ©. UtilisĂ© pour l'entretien de la maison et pour les soins corporels, ses vertus antibactĂ©riennes et insecticides en font un alliĂ© prĂ©cieux pour le jardinier bio. Le savon noir est fabriquĂ© Ă  partir de potasse et d'un corps gras de type huils vĂ©gĂ©tale comme l'huile d'olive, de lin ou de maĂŻs. Produit naturel et biodĂ©gradable (s'il ne contient pas d'additifs, comme cela peut-ĂȘtre parfois le cas), c'est un trĂšs bon produit nettoyant, pour les sols, la cuisine, la vaisselle, le linge, etc... TrĂšs polyvalent, il est Ă©galement Ă©conomique, comparĂ© aux multiples dĂ©tergents classiques du commerce. Le savon noir se trouve sous forme de pĂąte molle et brune ou sous forme liquide, diluĂ© avec de l'eau. C'est du savon noir liquide dont on se sert gĂ©nĂ©ralement au jardin, car son utilisation est plus simple. Il s'achĂšte dans les magasins bio ainsi qu'en grandes surfaces ou jardineries. Attention : la recette du savon noir de mĂ©nage et celle du savon noir utilisĂ© en cosmĂ©tique ne sont pas forcĂ©ment les mĂȘmes ; les savons noir de mĂ©nage (multi-usages) peuvent contenir davantage de potasse afin d'amĂ©liorer le pouvoir dĂ©graissant (irritant ou dessĂ©chant pour la peau), voire mĂȘme certains additifs chimiques. Au jardin, ce sont en prioritĂ© les propriĂ©tĂ©s antiseptiques et insecticides du savon noir qui sont utilisĂ©es. Le savon noir liquide est utilisĂ© pour lutter contre les pucerons, les cochenilles, les araignĂ©es rouges, les aleurodes, les psylles et autres thrips. C'est un insecticide de contact ; il tue les larves et nettoie le miellat qui englue les feuilles. La recette de l'insecticide Ă  base de savon noir (mou pour ma par marque briochin) est simple Ă  rĂ©aliser : une ou deux cuillĂšres Ă  cafĂ© de savon noir mou (briochin) diluĂ©es dans 1 demi litre d'eau tiĂšde (dilution Ă  5 %) ; une fois la prĂ©paration refroidie, pulvĂ©risez-la sur les plantes atteintes, en prenant soin de ne pas oublier l'envers des feuilles. À renouveler 1 Ă  2 fois si nĂ©cessaire, pour ĂȘtre totalement dĂ©barrassĂ© des indĂ©sirables. Comme il est de mise pour la plupart des traitements, ne pulvĂ©risez pas la solution Ă  base de savon noir en pleine journĂ©e, sous le soleil (ni sous la pluie !) ; procĂ©dez le matin de bonne heure ou patientez jusqu'Ă  la fin de journĂ©e, lorsque les tempĂ©ratures sont en dessous de 20°C. Jour 18 Je corrige mon LST suivant la pousse de ma plante ... Pour ma par c'est la maniĂšre dont je procĂšde mais petit rappel de la technique du LST Quand commencer Ă  appliquer la technique LST ? De nombreux cultivateurs commencent la manipulation dĂ©s que les plantes possĂšdent entre 3 et 6 nƓuds ou une paire de feuilles. Durant cette premiĂšre Ă©tape de la croissance, le tronc encore flexible est pliable sans risque qu’il ne se casse, mĂȘme si au fur et Ă  mesure du dĂ©veloppement de la plante il sera de plus en plus difficile de le plier. Nous pouvons continuer Ă  guider la croissance des branches durant toute la culture, mĂȘme durant la floraison, ce qui pour cette Ă©tape reprĂ©sente un grand avantage face Ă  la taille, qui n’est pas du tout recommandĂ© une fois que la formation des tĂȘtes commence, cela stressera en effet la plante, ce qui aura pour effet de retarder la rĂ©colte. Comment appliquer la technique de guidage LST Si nous sommes prudents, la flexibilitĂ© naturelle des fibres du cannabis permet de plier leur tronc et branches avec une relative facilitĂ©e, mĂȘme durant la floraison des plantes. En utilisant une corde fine, nous pouvons accrocher la pointe de la plante Ă  la base du pot par exemple ou Ă  un tuteur que nous aurons plantĂ© dans le substrat. Nous plierons le tronc avec prĂ©caution et nous le fixerons avec la corde, Ă  partir de lĂ , nous pouvons augmenter progressivement la tension de la corde, chaque jour un peu plus, jusqu’à obtenir la position souhaitĂ©e. Soyez attentif Ă  la rĂ©action de la plante, essayez de ne pas appliquer trop de pression sur la corde et rappelez-vous que la flexibilitĂ© des branches peut varier d’une plante Ă  l’autre. Pour obtenir de meilleurs rĂ©sultats, il suffit de suivre quelques rĂšgles simples. Pour commencer, nous devons choisir une corde fine mais pas trop pour ne pas blesser les troncs au fur et Ă  mesure qu’ils grandissent et qu’ils deviennent plus gros. Nous pouvons utiliser des crochets en plastique souple ou de n’importe quelle autre matiĂšre flexible pour Ă©viter d’endommager les plantes. SpĂ©cialement en intĂ©rieur, utiliser des cordons en plastique de couleur (voir les diaries de @Silky) est trĂšs pratique pour voir facilement les accroches et faciliter le travail au milieu du rĂ©seau formĂ©s par les cordes, les tuteurs, les mailles ou les supports que nous aurons dans la culture. Bien entendu, en culture extĂ©rieure et surtout en guerilla nous ferons juste le contraire et nous utiliserons des matĂ©riaux de couleur qui n’attirent pas l’attention pour que notre jardin reste discret. Pour stresser les plantes au minimum, la mieux est de rĂ©aliser ces manipulations le soir ou juste aprĂšs que les lampes en intĂ©rieur s’éteignent, ce qui leur permettra de se remettre durant la nuit. Normalement, le jour suivant nous pourrons observer comme les pointes des branches que nous avons pliĂ©es se dressent de nouveau vers le haut Ă  la recherche d’une source de lumiĂšre. Que la force soit avec vousđŸ’Ș

Welcome to week 10 of my Strawberry Cheesecake diary by seedsman, grown by me, Ctrellis90. So as you can see she's almost done! So that's pretty exciting! I had to get down and scrape out her top layer of soil last week because of some moisture problems in the soil but I think everything is fine for her last week in earth. The trichomes are almost right where I want them so that's all I'm doing now is waiting for those bad boys to turn so I can chop this pretty lady down. It was a lot of fun growing her, so much so that I had to out another one in the ground lol. This time in coots mix from BAS. Hopefully she doesn't burnt up....I've had that happen before when I mixed the soil wrong. Anyways I did give her just a little more Gaia all purpose for her last week just incase she has some more flower to put on for me. Well thanks for stopping by and next time you see this girl, she'll be hanging upside down!

So. Its last day of summer, Royal Cookies made my heading totally ... Thats it, that piece of shit must go. This is my last bean from 5 RQS Royal Cookies, that i tried to grow. End of summer and that plant is nowhere ... I must admit, for last 2 month they got only worm castings or bat guano teas, i tried to understand usage of those products and effects on plants. Royal Gorilla clone, like predicted, ended up really nice plant, Cookie in same pot just didn't grew ... Sad sad sad story I know my last words in video are childish, but so much love given and so much pain received ....

Second run with these genetics, I ran her last time in a 5.4 gallon container, I got the grape pheno, higher yield with the first run, but much tighter nugs with this run. This one smells much more earthy/gassey and less grapey. I ended up with just under 26 zips of nugs, 2 zips of Larf which I will turn into canna sugar, and my buddy made a 35 gram brick of bubble from the trim. It should be dry in the next few days and I'll post a video of the squeeze, hoping to get around a zip of rosin which I will split with him since he turned the bubble...Super excited to squeeze some nugs once the cure is done, Ill post vids of them as wel. Next run I'm planning to try and cram 2 plants inside a 5X5, build mainlines, and flip by week 6 or 7....Switching to two 315 W CMH bulbs up top, and LED's on 2 of the sidewalls for supplemental lighting. Looking forward to it, stay safe, blaze on!

420Fastbuds-Week 6 Cinderella Auto What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 2 beautiful 😍 ladies. They got moved over to the flower tent this week. Temperatures have gone up tremendously since it seems summer weather has finally got here. Over all they seem to be handling it, OK. I'll most likely do a defoliation this week thinning it out to allow more air flow. All in all Happy Growing

BewĂ€sserung: 30000 ml jeden 3 Tag in der ein und zwanzigste Woche pH-Wert: 6,3 EC-Wert: 1,6 mS/cm Temperatur: 24ÂșC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 60% SchĂ€dlingsbekĂ€mpfung: / DĂŒngemittel: Sie bekommen ab jetzt Brenneseljauche da sie im Outdoor Bereich ist. Besonderheiten: Der Boden um den still herum wurde mit Holzasche behandelt gegen Meltau. -Tag 136 die Membrana sieht sehr gut aus nach der Entlaubung und wir denken dass der stretch auch vorbei ist, die oberen Colas sehe heute dicker aus 😜 -Tag 137 Heute haben wir sie gegossen mit ca. 30l Wasser und 3l Brenneseljauche 😎 -Tag 141 Unsere Monster sieht gut aus, hat aber ein paar Probleme. Einige BlĂŒten sind von Pilzbefall betroffen, deshalb schneiden wir sie ab. Außerdem haben wir an den Spitzen rote Spinnmilben gefunden. Noch sind es nicht allzu viele, aber sicherheitshalber schlagen wir mit Phytoseilus Persimilis zurĂŒck. Die einzige, die das Recht hat, die Membran zu fressen, ist die Raupe, die sich bereits daran erfreut. Ansonsten haben wir sie heute wieder mit Jauche gegossen, diesmal auch mit Schachtelhalm 😌
