Hey hey everybody! We are back here this week at the beginning of week 13 and it is almost that time… time to flip?
….I wish…. No, no…. I am trying to be good but I think I came up with a plan that will give me a rough idea of when I will see that light at the end of the tunnel- or we’ll at least flip that light to 12/12 haha-
No no it is almost Christmas and things have been crazy over here. With the holiday madness upon us, I can’t tell all of you how much I have appreciated the relative silence (you know how it is, there are multiple fans running) time seems to slow down and it just us and the plants. Quite enjoyable.
So as you already know, we are going to be on coast until we fill out the rest of that 3x3 scrog net- however just today on my way into work, I came up with what might be my new definitive plan…
I have had a bit of trouble waiting, no doubt it will be worth the wait, but the wait has been difficult none the less… so here it is..
Here’s what I’m thinking- I have this going and I also have some fastbuds growing in the same area. What I am most likely going to do- is wait until it’s time for the fastbuds to come down to open up some space in the 5x5 and the rock candy cake can have all that space to herself- I will shift the scrog into the center of the tent and then flip the light schedule to 12/12 and let it run wild- it’s at this point I will most likely employ a more hands off approach so it can focus all of its energy on producing buds worthy of such a wait.
The canopy is getting pretty lush and I really need to get in there and defoliate- I really lucked out, today was the last day I had to work until after Christmas so you KNOW I will be in there tomorrow plucking away at leaves (strategically of course) half kidding I’m probably still a whirlwind compared to some, but I’ve noticed- especially when it comes to autos, that my leaf selection has become much more refined when defoliating. PROBABLY gonna see a BIT less of that tomorrow as I have to open up the canopy but I still plan on being careful.
Something else that was super cool who may not be following along with the other journal, happened oddly enough just the other day when I was doing dishes- I was scrubbing away with my phone all propped up so I could watch/listen to dude grows. And I heard the dude mention a contest on their website that I had entered… of course my ears perked up, I leaned in a little closer to take a look and was thinking to myself how cool it would be, even to see my picture in the background and sure enough there it was and they brought it up and commented on the submission and seemed to be genuinely enthused by it and let me tell you I am STILL riding high off that one!
One thing that was cool too was a rep at a nutrient company had seen that and congratulated me as well and it was again just so cool and I’m honored to have been on there! I listen to them practically everyday at work- yeah words are not doing it justice right now but I was stoked!!!
Other than that, the holidays are practically upon us so I’d imagine it’ll be a whole lot of family activity with a side of unintentional neglect that I plan on keeping to an absolute minimum because we are right around the corner from some excitement in that tent- that thing is going to be HUGE! So we have that to look forward to! And on that note, I just want to say that from our home to yours, I truly hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I can’t wait to come back and get into the garden talk with all my growmies! Growers love everybody and happy holiday!! 💚🤙🌱🎅🏼🎁🎄

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!
We have had some crazy cold weather here the last 4 days and for the first time in 13 years had snow on Christmas day. So with the cold and snow came grow room issues. My grow space is outside and not attached to the house so maintaining a proper temperature and humidity has been a bit on the difficult side. Even with the lights running 24 hours, it's had a few drops down to 19c and the humidity has gone up to 68% a few times. Now luckly I'm still in veg and the humidity isn't a issue yet but the temperature has been making me worried. Going to put togther a heater with its own temperature switch increase it drops below 20c.
Did some training over the last week with some LST and FIMing. With the LST every 3nd day I've been adjusting them and pulling the plants back a bit more and more. Since I don't think I'll be able to set up a SCRog net this go around (spent to much for Christmas and wont be able to affordthe PVC tubing) ive got to figure out something else and fast. Plants are getting big and it's going to get hard to bend then properly without braking stuff.
Because I was showing some issues with 2 of my plants I started adding a bit of Revive to my res to see if they get better and they have. But because of the cold that's been hitting us my tank has had a hard time staying warm. Even with my 50w tank heater it's been fighting a up hill battle because the area outside the main room where the tank is, has been sitting around 14-17c. So with that the air pump I use to circulate the tank, it is pulling in cold air and thats been fighting the tank heater in getting it up to what I like it at. I tried using my water pump instead of the air pump for circulation and the res went up to 25.6c soooo I would much rather have 19c res then water that could kill my plants.
So let's talk about the plants themselves. Both Special Queen plants are doing great but as you can see from the picture, one is doing absolutely amazing. Great growth (understatement) and has bounced back from training like a pro. The other plant is still doing really good when compared to all the other plants in the room but still could be a little bit better. Depending on what I'm going to do for supporting the plants this might be the last week of veg. Well see.
Well that's all growmies. Happy growing everyone!!!

So this weeks Been warm again. Mid 20s all the way up to mid 30s I've started to Schwazz my plants in an effort to keep the airflow along the greenhouse floor . Seems to be working so far so we will see how they start to stack up.

This orange cookie is the queen of the tent , she’s throwing out bud sites like a maniac, beautiful big strong and green I’ll be switching to 12-12 tonight or I think I’ll run out of room . Keen to see what she’ll do in stretch and then onto flower in a few weeks . I’ve got the feeling she’s gonna be special. The last orange strain from Dutch fem the orange dream was a memorable orange strain smelt like an orchard and tasted like an orange julias so I got high hopes for this one

week 11
75 days
according to the breeder this strain has 7-8 weeks of flowering.
with the possible stress that the plant has suffered maybe it has slowed down its growth a little. but since I'm not impatient and I have time is not a problem.
I like to let it mature on point so I let it roll for another three weeks.
As for the sample I took a week before... it was on a good track. I could already feel some notes and aroma but deep down. very heavy and harsh smoke, to remember that there was no flush or cure, just dry.
Now its waiting for the whole plant dry. 🤞🙏

Hello gromie's, just wrapped up week 7 of flowering & all the girls are going good, just continuing to do their thing. Buds bulking up nicely trichomes have changed from clear to cloudy, very sticky & smelly lowered nutrients, they are at the start of week 8 , but I'm thinking they will take a week or two more to ripen up , this will be my first harvest & I don't want to screw up the last few months by harvesting to early! I'm looking at doing 10-15% amber the rest cloudy for best results, think that's right will look at flushing soon.

At the end of week 3 I topped one of the strawberry cough they are all looking good and starting to veg I’m all caught up with the grow diary’s and will add at the end of every week. I’m in Australia and did start a little late into the season but hope to get a decent grow in they will be at my brothers once transplanted and he has a few aswel that I will add into the grow log nothing but sun and water only use a little thrive that’s from Bunnings that I get from my pops shed. They will be in a nicer cleaner soil when transplanted into veggie beds and will have chicken poo as a nutrient source first time ever using chicken poo so see how it goes. Will keep the grow log updated and hopefully everything goes all well for the travel and transplant for the plants in the next few days

This girl is coming along fairly well. She is starting to put in a little weight now. I have been battling powdery mildew on this lady! She does not seem very resistant to it unfortunately. I will have to up my treatment regime a little bit I’m thinking. I may also take one other plant out of my greenhouse if I can squeeze it out to make a little more room.

Things are generally going ok. I’m going to reduce the bio grow next week as it’s looking a little over fed. Other than that the plant has been fairly responsive.
I defoliated and removed the rest of the lower growth I wanted to, it seemed to slow things down, although its starting to stretch a little now..

Week 18
Day 120 (11/12/2020):
I checked the girl’s trichomes and they are looking great. They are definitely getting more amber but still a small percentage. Also most of the pistils have browned now so I think she is about 2 weeks away from harvest now. So I will start the flush at the next watering!
Day 121 (12/12/2020):
The girl is looking good today but the leaves are going more an more yellow and crispy. Although I think during this time it is actually good news and I will be happy for her to take up all the nutrients left into the buds to make them extra tasty!🤤
Day 122 (13/12/2020)💧:
Sooo this week is the start of the flush, just 1.5L of water. They are definitely ready for the flush and the buds are looking gorgeous! So gorgeous, in fact, that we cannot wait for the girls to be ready. So I cut some stems off to dry 🙊 We basically realised that they will not be ready and dry by Christmas (plus we would want to still cure them for min 2 weeks) and so I cut some of the smaller stems off to get some buds ready for Christmas celebrations 🎄 I only cut 1 stem off the girl and in the photo you can see how much smaller it is than the main buds. I’ve put the flowers into a box with holes in a room that has good airflow. I’ll also make sure to weigh and add it to the final dry weight.
Day 123 (14/12/2020):
Didn’t have time today to take pics of the girls but I’m sure they are fine 😉
Day 124 (15/12/2020):
I swear the buds look fatter and fatter every single day that I check her. Looking great, smelling great, and will definitely taste great!
Day 125 (16/12/2020)💧:
Second flush of the week, great stuff. Just gave her 1.5L of water and ripped off some dry leaves. There are some stems at the bottom that are quite weak and cannot hold their weight. A lot of them have bent over and I don’t think they will get enough water to survive until harvest. At this point it is too late to cut them off but I have definitely learned to lollipop for the future!
Day 126 (17/12/2020):
What a great end to the week and just 1 more week to go! Buds are looking astonishing at this point. And I swear they are getting more and more red even though I thought they wouldn’t. The trichomes are developing beautifully as well, definitely harvest-ready in just a few days! And next week, I will be watering twice and probably harvest after the whole week is finished, so on Christmas day! What a great present 🎁

Hey guys :-) .
We are getting closer and closer to the end :-).
The trichomes are 80% milky, 10% amber and 10% clear.
In the coming days, fresh water will be prepared for the last time with one Pure Ec value of 0.4 so that you can use up the last of the sewing materials for 3-4 days.
I'm very excited about the end result because I have the same phenotype in another diary on Cocos :-).
As always, an update comes during the harvest and the last update comes after drying 👍.
Have fun with the diary and stay healthy 🙏🏻

19.1.25:
I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g.
I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes.
It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements.
I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients.
Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;-
♡ 2ml Cal-Mag
♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish
♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster
♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom
♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max
♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys
I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements.
I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄
I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation.
The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double.
I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest.
I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too.
I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle.
24.1.25:
I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix.
This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments:
♡ 60% Canna coco
♡ 20% Worm castings
♡ 15 % Perlite
The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;-
♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys
♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano
♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth
♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster.
♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle.
•Worm castings for some all round nutrition.
•Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent.
•Canna coco base substrate.
•Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system.
•Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds.
•Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom.
•RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes.
•Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits.
•Diatomaceous earth for Silica.
•Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost.
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Week 3-Day 21 of flower. These ladies have been on autopilot. The environment is controlled, we have been having some temp and RH swings, but the equipment is dialed in. I have a portable AC when it is humid and hot, only needs to run for 15 minutes from time to time to keep the lung room/tent at the perfect temps.
I can’t say enough how important it is to test, test and dial in your environment. I can already see big advancements in my photo periods from when I started, to today just a 1 1/2 years later. Having your environment as close to perfect as you can, can compensate for A LOT of rookie
Mistakes 🤓
Anyways, still keeping to Feed, Feed, water schedule, despite the tip burn, I’ve dialed it back to about 900 ppm and seeing how the plant reacts. Did a light defoliation, which will probably be the last one. Seems like all I am doing at this point is watching and watering. Happy Growing Folks 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Dutch Passion Shaman
Die vierzehnte Woche begann sonnig und warm und endete mit dem Beginn einer massiven Starkregen Front. Über 70 Liter Wasser werden in 48 Stunden fallen. So entschied ich zum Ende der Woche, beide Shamaninnen mit einem Gartenschirm zu schützen.
Die Blüten schwellen, die Aufregung steigt. Ich kontrolliere die Pflanzen täglich, um sicher zu stellen, dass beide weiterhin gesund bleiben und ich am Ende saubere und harzig leckere Buds ernten kann. Und diese Zeit ist gut investiert, denn ich entdeckte zu Beginn der Woche eine Blüte, die verdächtig aussah und sofort herausgeschnitten wurde. Shamanin No. 1, die stickstoffüberfütterte grüne Dame hatte ganz oben ein klein wenig Fäulnis zwischen Blüte und Stiel. Im Laufe der Woche konnte ich dann nichts weiteres mehr finden. Auch der Schnitt ist sauber verheilt. Beide stehen gut da.
Als klar war, dass es über Tage massiv regnen wird, habe ich begonnen beiden Shamaninnen nur noch sparsam Wasser zu geben. Ein bisschen Trockenstress soll sich gut auf die Trichom Bildung auswirken und ich hoffe, dass sie so in der kommenden Woche durstig und mit geschlossenen Spaltöffnungen weniger anfällig für Pilze sein wird. Denn eines ist sicher: Die kommende Woche wird für uns drei heftig. Ich habe das miese Virus und oben drauf noch eine bakterielle Bronchitis. 29 Grad Fieber. Knock out. 🤒 Zu den Pflanzen werde ich trotzdem täglich hinfahren. Bissl frische Luft tanken.
Danke für‘s vorbeischauen! 🤞💚

Week 6 day 1 video
Week 6 day 4 video
I’m still pushing very hard with carbs every watering, humic acid, soluble n, soluble pk, microbial mass, b+, fishshit. Already tried testers for lowers. Very potent hits harder than a pen. Feels like 30-40% baked for 1-3h per j, different phenos. Not harsh just testers dried for 0:01:15, checked seeds and developing for 2-3 weeks

Al ser la variedad con más predominancia sativa de las tres que habian estas fueron cortadas un poco antes de tiempo y los tricomas en su mayoria eran todo cristalinos, apenas habian unos pocos lechosos o ámbar y muchos de color morado xd.
No obstante una vez pasados los dias huele bién, sabe bién y buen efecto. No sabria describir el sabor pero tiende a Kush.
fácil de cultivar y como pudo verse hace o puede hacer unas bonitas porras.
