I fucked up drying. Room RH is 80% plus but I had fans running.. usually, locally, I cant get my dries to go longer than 3 - 5 days.. been drying for 5 days but with the humidity being at 80% - 85% inside the lung room and tent she hasnt even began to dry. Plus, I havent been able to trim her up yet.. just been jiggling the jar around a few times a day and keeping the jar open, inside the tent with an exhaust fan running and another usb fan moving air.. but not blowing on the buds at all.. but around the jar.. so nervous to get mold!!! Drying still.. but day 3 in jar.. She is still way too wet to be jarred. I have just been shaking the jar around like 4 times a day MINIMUM and keep the jar in he tent with air flow.. humidity is still being a butthead.. but easing up a bit.. down to 70%-ish.. when I do seal the jars, it still reads a little over 70%.. I will keep doing this until I get to about 65% or possibly even as high as 68%.. as long as I keep up the burping.. but so far, I just leave the lid open and keep it in the tent with a couple fans running.. no mold, so she should be good.. still gonna keep flipping the buds a few times a day.. this is going to be some DANK! already tried a few nugs.. still alot of chlorophyll, but she is slowly getting to the cure zone!!! Drying day 14.. Finally got the jar down to 65% RH.. that took alot of rolling the jar (to move buds around).. at least 4 - 5 times daily for this entire time I trimmed the buds and put them into the jar waaaay too early.. no mold tho.. and the buds dont tear apart anymore. They should start to crumble (kinda) in the next 2 - 4 weeks.. but going to see how things (including weather) are going to go if I only burp once or twice daily. I kinda want to bring the RH down a bit still.. like 62% 🤔 ah shit, I'm so indecisive lol.. probably leave it at 65% for a couple days and then try to get it down to 63% or 62%.. but once I see 59 or 58%.. it should still be good, but I get worried because I have overdried MANY harvests.. just trying to get things dialed in with drying and curing still.. even 4 years into this stuff! Lol.. but I'm getting a better hang of it.. kinda using my own methods mixed with what I find online.. just hard to judge when the plant is ready by snapping stems.. ive waited till the smallest stem I could find was making the "snap" noise.. but when I did that, the RH in the jars was only at 55% and lower.. the taste and smell were completely gone halfway thru the cure.. ive read that anywhere from 55% to as high as 70% RH is good.. but even at 70% I still have wetness issues.. buds and stems tearing.. still tastes like pure chlorophyll.. but since I've been kinda getting my dries dialed in, so I try to UNDER DRY to get buds to about 70% (that's in jars, not room). I really feel like this doesnt get explained enough in forums and online.. they tend to leave out some very important details.. like what to do when you overdry or underdry your flower.. if its too low, its trash. A 62% boveda and/or integra boost humidity packs can only do so much.. they have helped me, but only if the jars are still above 55% RH.. anything lower has completely removed terps within 2 weeks or so.. but yeah. In 4 years of trial and error (and yeah, forums and other grow diaires), I have found that it is better to UNDERDRY and either burp the jars MULTIPLE times a day (at least 4 - 5) or take them back out and let them dry for another 8 - 12.. maybe 16 or even 24 hours.. depending out how wet the flower still is and the drying area. Anyways.. im stoned and just finger fucking my keyboard here.. but this is very useful info that I have found works for me.. if people dont agree, hey thats cool too.. then these are just notes for myself later 😋 OK, I'm done now.. will keep updating as I go! About 5 days into curing... Got the jar down to 62% - 63% RH so I can stop burping so much.. maybe a short burp twice daily for a week then slow it down to once a day and eventually just stop burping. Been keeping my hand out of the cookie jar for the last... 2 maybe 3 days. I'm going to try and only test a nug once a week to get a feel for how quick its curing and how much better the taste is from the previous week. Did this last grow and each week was a huge difference.. even at week 6! But she was more than ready at week 4!.. not sure how some can cure in 2 weeks unless you get it really dry.. which makes me nervous cuz at 55% RH, I've had horrible results. Trashed the whole remaining harvest.. this is why I like to try and keep the RH a little on the higher side (68% or 65% or so and slowly bring it down to 62% or 63%.. also called the "pre-cure" phase) but I want this harvest to hover around 62% for as long as possible because 62% seems to be the magical sweet spot when you leave them there for the entire 4 weeks.. just my experiences.. Buds aren't very dense, but I'm pretty sure thats due to harvesting a week or 2 too early 😢.. and leaving her in te dark for another 5 days or so before harvesting.. oh the horror she endured toward the end of her life.. she was a fighter tho.. no mold.. in ANY of these super high RH weeks she went thru during the most vulnerable parts! Harvsting, drying and pre-curing.. but not 1 speck of mold 😁 About 10 days into curing.. Yeah I wish I could have let her go another week or 2.. yield was defintely hurt.. quality could be better.. but it will do for now.. live and learn.. I seem to say that every grow 🤣 but still a nice, decent stoney, still pretty decent tasting smoke.. going to just do some small, short burps for the next week or 2. Want the RH to still come down a little.. but if not, meh. The RH (outside and indoors) has been high again.. but luckily I was able to get the RH in the jar down to 62% - 63% RH.. i just burp the jar for a few seconds.. remove the hygrometers and flip the buds.. then put the hygrometers back in, clos up the jar and let it sit till the next day. RH is so high in the room that it raises the RH in the jar a little. But they always go back down to 62% - 63% RH.. good deal. Waiting for a dry day to burp outside for a few minutes. Need to invest in a powerful dehumidifer.. ugh.. Somewhere between 3 and 4 weeks of curing... Yeah definately shows that I harvested early. Still an ok smoke. Could have been fatter.. could have been tastier.. definitely NOT Ethos fault. Kicking myself for not letting her go 1 - 2 more weeks. Wasnt by choice tho.. life happened and she had to be chopped. Just ready for a little warmth and I will begin the next run!!!

Done some LST, maybe too much lol ( I’m still learning). Topped all 4 successfully . Finally feel like I’m getting some where I have learned a hell of a lot just from these few weeks. This is the first time I’ve ever done any type of training in a strain and photoperiods so I’d rather focus on learning than just yeild.

https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 " Arising from a cross between purple and citrus Cali genetics, Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) offers a complex high made up of perfectly balanced cerebral and body effects that are ideal for daytime use. Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts your mood while deeply relaxing your whole body and getting rid of muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m2 of some of the most beautiful purple buds, with pinkish and reddish hues that will catch everyone’s attention. The beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks and come hand-in-hand with unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. It’s the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin. Bud Description Purple Lemonade FF grows chunky, spade-shaped buds that boast a whole range of pinkish-purple hues with rich, dark orange pistils shooting out of every direction. This variety stands out for the, oftentimes, lilac trichomes that give them a gorgeous pink tint and make for outstanding purple concentrates. The buds give off a delicious tart lemon aroma that reveals a sweeter, more fruity scent as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for flavor chasers and those looking for pungent terpene profiles. Smoke Reports Purple Lemonade FF offers an effect that’s just as unique as the flavor. Expect a potent uplifting high that gives you that energy boost you need to get things done while 100% happy and stress-free. The effect gradually transforms into a wave that works its way along the limbs and through the muscles, deeply relaxing your body and putting you in the right mindset to go through a busy day with a huge smile on your face. This is an excellent all-day smoke as it not only increases energy but can also help combat chronic pain, migraine and stress. Plant Appearance This feminized photoperiod variety develops a thick and strong structure, growing a medium-sized main cola with multiple shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. Purple Lemonade FF develops fairly short internodal spacing with gorgeous purple buds growing stacked on top of each other, making it the perfect choice for growers of all levels looking to get lots and lots of top-shelf purple weed, as this variety can produce up to 550 g/m2 in a 7-8 week flower cycle. Grow Tips This is a super fast feminized photoperiod version that takes approximately 7-8 weeks to flower with a 5-week vegetation cycle,, this means you can have faster harvests by shortening the veg cycle or have a longer veg cycle for bigger yields. Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) makes for a great candidate for growers of all levels as it’s a vigorous strain that will thrive with basic maintenance both indoors and outdoors. This is a resin powerhouse so make sure to have your trim bin close by as all the resinous sugar leaves will make for the most mouth-watering hash and extracts. Flavor Expect a long-lasting citrus zest that taste just like it smells. Purple Lemonade FF reeks of a delicious blend of sweet fruits and tart citrus that’ll make your mouth water. On the inhale, expect sour flavors that taste just like lemon candy with hints of orange and a really subtle earthy background. And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade.

End of week 6 The ladies are doing well. The blue zushi that didn't look too good from the beginning now seems to be recovering. They do suffer from heat stress. The temperature has touched 32 degrees at times. The blueberry cupcakes are twice the size of the zushi. Perhaps putting these 2 strains together in 1 tent was not such a good idea after all. I think at about a week and a half the conopy will be full, and i can finally start flower 😁

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 11 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17517.6, Another healthy week in the garden! Heady OG is filling in her pot beautifully and wow growth is healthy and all I see is green! Ca-Caw! TKO has also been raging and blowing up with growth! Re-strung the scrog frame and dropped it in place. Also upgraded the tent a bit by installing Vivosun’s CFM Kit. Pancaked TKO and started training her to fill in the back two quadrants of the tent. Heady also reached the netting! Started some low-stress training to fill in the front two quadrants. Veg tent has been healthy and gnat free! Super-cropped the mothers and the canopy has been recovering nicely! Also started germinating my first batch of popcorn tea! This will be my first time applying any Sprout Seed Tea (SST) and plan to feed next week. Onwards to next week Ensign!

I think I found the one! --- Both of the Garlic Budder phenos (OG#1 and OG#2) are getting pretty dank! --- Both have been curing for a good 6-7 months (since 12/13/24) and now taste completely different! The #2 pheno now has a pungent earthy fuel profile which has made her a keeper! The #1 pheno is more on the purple sweeter terp profile side, which is not really enough to be a keeper, but the smoke is definitely smoother and terpier than before. --- Still searching for more keepers, but now have a potential mother to breed with. Getting hyped! --- Wow curing really does make a huge difference! --- As for the Gorilla Goat phenos, they have been curing for about 3 months (since 04/08/25) and taste okay but nothing special. The #1 pheno still has a pretty loud lemon cleaner nose, but nothing to special on the smoke. Yet. I think. --- Also, for this cycle, plan to probably reduce the 18/6 harvest flip from 7 days down to 4 days. I think 7 days might have been too long and may have caused some re-vegging. --- Will continue to pheno hunt for more keepers! - [16:21]: Evening check on the 4x4 tent. --- Wow the garden is raging! --- All growth looks green and the canopy is filling in! --- Heady OG is starting to reach the side of the 30 gallon pot, but still has a ways to go before reaching the scrog frame. Growth looks healthy and green so I’m happy! --- Wow TKO is bushy and getting enormous! She has already started to fill in the front left quadrant of the tent. - [16:23]: Alright! Time to start scrogging and training out the canopy. Let’s go! --- Temporarily took the PVC scrog frame out of the tent. - [16:35]: Okay time to re-string the frame! --- Like always, used mason string for the netting and double-looped each screw. Strung the vertical lines before weaving the horizontal lines over and under the vertical lines. --- Also covered the top of each corner with foil and masking tape. - [17:14]: Done! Scrog frame is re-strung and looking great! --- Set the frame aside for a bit. - [17:15]: Going to give Vivosun’s High CFM (cubic feet per minute) Support Kit a try. --- Once the scrog frame is installed, the back area is difficult to access. So need to install the kit before placing the frame back in. --- The kit came with 4 identical support bars which snap snugly onto the vertical tent bars. --- Assembly was pretty straight forward and the bars snapped and screwed together with ease. --- To make the process a lot easier, I installed all the corners first. The bars easily snapped into the corner pieces and once fully secured, the whole tent feels a lot more stable. The kit also widens the tent to keep the fans from hitting the sides. --- Left the front bar off for now (only have the front corners installed). --- To ensure that the support bars are level, decided to place the bottom (back and front) bars just above where the tent bars snap together (about 41 inches from the floor). The top (side) bars were installed just above (about 43 inches from the floor). --- These bars should help to keep the walls of the tent expanded which should give more room for the oscillating fans. - [18:05]: Installed and gently dropped the scrog frame into place. --- Secured each corner to each corner (flag pole) clip. --- The frame height was not adjusted and the netting is about 33 inches from the floor. --- Also trained TKO and tucked her taller branches under the netting. --- Super-cropped and pinched a few branches and redirected them away from the front area of the tent. --- Lastly, installed the front CFM bar. --- Keeping the front area clear for Heady OG and won’t flip to flower until the frame is completely full. --- Heady OG still has yet to reach the netting, but that’s okay. --- Plan to veg for another month or so before flipping to flower so Heady OG has plenty of time to fill in the front. --- Grow strong my girls! - [18:19]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 41% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 54% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 43% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 47% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 40% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] | 45 - 60% [Moist] | 70% [Wet] - [18:21]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are vegging along beautifully and wow the canopy has exploded! --- The canopy has almost reached the grow light! --- Time to super-crop! - [18:35]: To make the process a lot easier, used a pair of needle-nose pliers. --- For added cushioning, the tips of the pliers were wrapped in masking tape. - [18:37]: Perfect! The canopy is flat and a good 5-6 inches lower! --- The pliers made super-cropping a whole lot easier! Especially stoked on how well they worked on the Garlic Budder phenos in the back. Both have brittle branches and when pinching and bending, a few usually break. But not when using the pliers. Nice! --- Pots also look great and no signs of gnats! The double inoculation seemed to have eliminated the larval population and the under canopy is thriving! - [18:41]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another grow day done! Day 03 - Wednesday - 07/02/25 - Total Days: 080 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 85.4°F [29.7°C] - Humidity: 78.1% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [49, 40, 49, 53, 43, 41, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [23:06]: Quick night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Looking green and growth is perking up nicely! --- Heady OG is getting bigger and she has almost reached the edge of the pot. Also no gnats and no flooding. Perfect! --- TKO is recovering from the scrogging an growth is straightening up towards the grow light! Great! --- Trained a few of TKO’s front branches. Trying to keep her front growth from over taking the front area. - [23:17]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow! Growth has almost fully recovered and most already perky! --- Canopy is nice and low with tops everywhere! --- Pots also look great and gnat free! - [23:19]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Days 33-35 Both ladies have been transplanted and moved into the Veg tent! If you look in the video you can see the setup. Both are in 10.5"x10.5" square nursery pots approx 3Gal each. Both were put into happy frog soil using azos and recharge during transplant. I have them under an optic 8+ with a cob as supplemental lighting Day 37: A light defoliation day today, especially for #1. I removed all the mature fan leaves that were blocking any bud sites or nodes at all. Essentially leaving the top 2 mature leaves in tact. I honestly did not want to do this! It was heart wrenching to mutilate such a beautiful naturally growing plant 🤷‍♂️ practicality wins in the end tho. I removed the 2 oldest lowest fan leaves from #2 as well. More for sanitation reasons. They werent8blocking anything but the uh were dragging in the dirt and starting to fade anyhow. I actually kept 1 leaf. My 1st time ever doing this. The leaf is so neat, overlapping itself. *transplant update day 37* In my very green opinion they look to be struggling a bit with the transplant. I like to wet my medium prior to placing the rootball in, sometimes it's great and the roots chase it. Sometimes they get a little water logged and it takes a week b4 watering. I'm thinking it's the latter in this scenario. Day 38; #1's top fan leaves are rolling in again. I figured it was heat but the surface area doesn't get above 78° which from what I've read is fine. Maybe it's a strain issue? Looks very imdica, ma uh be is accustomed to a cooler climate? Day 39: I lowered #1 about a foot further from the light. She is still all curled up tho. It isn't heat. I watered them at transplant per my usual routine. 2 other plants stranded extremely bad and these 2 are acting goofy. I probably over did it that day Day 42 and 43 In day 42 CMOG #1 needed some water. It's her 1st drink since transplant. #2 on the other hand is drinking a bit less. I also took 2 upper fan leaves off #1(I hate doing it, but gotta promote those bud sites!! Day 43nothing really to report. I videotaped myself plucking a couple lower fan leaves. I'm raising the fan a bit more above #2 to keep wind stress down. Day 44: 🚨⛈️Emergency!!⛈️🚨 Power is out! My light cycle is as follows: on at 6pm off at 12pm. Its 2:45am right now and the power has gone out. Which was wierd because it went out b4 the storm hit! It was fricken midday when the outtage happen!! My poor Chocolate Mint OG 😖 keeping humididty down is gonna be hard and my grow is very far from and natural light source even if they were on the same cycle as nature 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ if ur reading this say a quick prayer! Thanks!!🙏✌️🌱

Week 14, Flowering week 9, flush week 2 The ladies are almost ready to harvest! We are going for the long haul here!! The DWC has about 6 litres of mineral water left in it, will let plant drink all. Indica phenotype plant is about 10% covered in amber trichomes, the rest are milky white. Sativa phenotype plant is abput 90% milky and 10% amber also. The light schedule will remain 12/12, with 48 hours of darkness before harvest. Harvest will likely happen this week, checking trichomes every morning while dark. Day 92 - resin explosion from 12/12 lighting a. I remove a few large fan leaves here and there that are drying up. b. the plants are eating all the nutrients from the leaves c. some of the small lower tiny buds I make bain marie qwiso, tastes incredible. Day 93 - getting very close, they are stinking soooo loudly a. the trichomes are at 15-20% amber on the Indica Phenotype and 10% on the Sativa phenotype b. all trichomes are milky, rarely see a clear Day 94 - need to harvest tomorrow a. its time, the DWC is nearly empty, the ladies have been in the dark, the hash I make is banging, time to harvest. Day 95 - Harvest Will create harvest week when buds are all dry

Good week of growth. Fed twice throughout the week. Couple signs of insects but hoping it's just the few fruit flies I have in the vicinity. Also continued with LST, both plants seem to like it. Growth on Alaskan purple is slow due to the shitty Amazon light overjead I believe. Seemango has a mars hydro ts1000 overtop.

Girls are moving along nicely in week three, Technicaly day 8 since popped! rH has been much easier to deal with since the weather has been nice. The little humidifier runs all day long tho. Temps also really easy to manage due to an all LED setup! Very happy with the QB so far but I need more time to put an official review for it. Pots dont seem to need water, but i am giving them a spritz on the leaves every morning. I do have a concern, the soil hasn't seem to need water but I am dealing with auto seedlings staring in the final pots. Plants dont seem to be overwater? But I'd like your opinion on them. Please see the pics and video posted! Enjoy and thanks for the read! :)
