What a journey! We started out with a fungal infection or dampening off. Either way, she survived to bring some of the hardest buds ever grown. Very impressed. The resilience of thos one is something to note. Currently the plant is in control of the humidity. But it won't be for very long. Not once the exhaust fan kicks in to max power. The temp is stable at 61° f. Humidity is at 62%. Now 63 and climbing. 🤔. I adjusted it. And it won't stay still. It either plummets or spikes up. A tiny opening in the door dropped it super fast. While closing it up spiked it in the mid 60s. I'm trying to level it out at 55%. The temp is perfect. I should be able to do it. I can tweek it until it works properly. .so I just pulled the roots out of the bucket. I had a whole bunch of goopy shit all in the roots in buried in the pebbles. What the hell is that? I'm trying to find out right now. It was all black and nasty. It smelled like soil. Not strong or anything, but like I didn't use soil. Anyway, I did use carboflush and it turned the water a super dark brown. Maybe that's part of it. Or maybe that was the problem all along. Black root rot? Root rot at all? The roots seemed fine. Just the sludge all in their business. How should I have cleared that out if I saw it? Dump plain water through the hydroton? I think I'll do that for my next run. Once a week top off into the hydroton. Makes sense. It should keep the roots clean? 12/16/2025 Day 1 of drying Papaya Cookies and the environment looks great. It swings a bit, but doesn't go over 61% and I haven't seen it go under 45%. I know it's a big swing, but the temp is solid at 61° and it's in range. I expect it to be a bit more controlled in a few days after the plant dries out a bit. You know, when she has less control over the humidity. The goal is 61° and 53% humidity. I'm pretty sure I can keep it at 60%, but maybe I want 55%. I'm thinking 55% because it's the top of the ideal range and it still matches the temp. So it should I perfectly. So for the setup. I don't think I properly explained it yesterday. The 2x2 is connected to the 3x3 with a 4" duct. You can see in the picture that the hose is installed on the top of the 2x2 and to the upper 6" port on the right side of the tent. There's a reason I'm telling you this. The 4" charcoal filter is on the left side of the tent. If it were on the right side I'd have to attach the dry tent to the left side of the 3x3. The goal is to exhaust the dry tent with the whole 3x3 circulating air throughout, before exhausting the dry tent. Instead of the filter being right above the port, sucking in way too much from the dry tent and neglecting the rest of the 3x3. It makes sense in my head. So far it's seems to be working. The air in the tent has been exhausting just fine. With the 2 circular fans running at level 7 dynamic mode, it moves the leaves just enough and mimics the outside world quite well without any harsh gusts. I wonder. Seeing as though a cannabis plant needs to be pollinated, and it goes airborne, wouldn't having larger gusts of wind help a healthy cannabis plant to grow bigger buds as to catch the pollen? That makes sense to me. Don't overdo it, just a few little gusts just like September and October. At harvest season. I bet that will do something. Maybe I'll turn the speed up to 9 and see what happens. Wind burn on these leaves is the least of my problems. Plus, it'll be fine. Don't you worry. Maybe she'll produce more trichomes and bulk up a bit more. It makes total sense. Without wind burn, just under where it would start to happen, I bet she will finish up nicely and have added a bit more bulk too. 12/17/2025 Day 2: The humidity is bouncy. It stays in range from 46% to 61% I'd like to see it stabilize at 55%, but I don't think I'll see that until I have a bit more control over the space. It's funny. To bring the humidity up when it's low, I open the main tent and the air doesn't get pulled out of the dry tent making it more humid. I open the dry tent a little to drop the humidity. Either way, it's in range and the temp doesn't move at all. It warmed up here for the day and the temp went from 61 to 64 and holding steady. Nothing else to report. 12/18/2025 Day 3 of drying and we are looking great! A lot of her smell has changed to a sharp pungent scent. Meh. I know it's gonna be back to some insanely good smell very soon. After all it's only day 3. I woke up to the humidity hovering around 47% I was kinda hoping it would stay between 50% and 55%. No matter, I added a bowl of water to help keep the humidity up a bit. Hopefully it keeps it under control at 55%. Other than that, nothing else to report. 12/19/2025 So day 4 and I had to add a mini humidifier to the dry tent. It was dropping below 50% and I want it around 53%. The temp is 60° f. So now the humidity is at 54° and is leveled out. I'm guessing maybe 7 days? 10 to 12 days is what I'm going for. The longer the better, but I also have another plant that has to go in there and they won't fit together. The only reason I'm concerned with it is because I'm starting new seeds today or tomorrow. Probably today and I'll be needing the 3x3 in the next week or 2. This little lady will be done by then, but my other plant might have to dry in the 3x3 and that'll take 10 to 14 days. By then the seedlings will be ready for their buckets. Or well, no. They will be ready for their buckets in about 10 days. If not less. Maybe 8 days. I usually add them to the final container just before the roots really start coming in. That way I'm not shocking them too much when they hit the medium.

So this beautiful OG kush has been finally Transplanted into her definitive 25L pot for this season, I've prepared the pot with the complete line of biotabs, I've added 25G of startrex for every 5L of soil, then I sprinkled a couple of grams of mycotrex on tje planting hole and after the Transplant was successfully completed I added 5 biotabs slow release fertilizer (one for every 5L of soil) and then just watered the plant immediately with 1g per liter of orgatrex and 1g per liter of bactrex, let's see how this beautiful OG kush pheno #1 develops!! Can't wait!

Week 10: This will be the final update before Harvest: I will update post harvest after the dry and weigh. Day 64-66: Decided I would continue feeding them until I harvest since they could go 7 days longer. Albeit with a half dose of Calmg and Boost(micro). All White Cracks seem to be doing good. I realized a few days ago the outer plants underneath the blurple LEDs seemed to be showing slight signs of light stress(the leaves were bending away from the light instead of toward it). I lowered the Blurples a few days earlier so I raised them back up. These are some FROSTY plants... Day 67-70: Going good, plants under the blurples responded postively to raising the lights. Seems I was wrong last week about these smelling stronger than the 4AM, it's actually the other way around lmao. But these are still some great smelling plants! Can't wait to dry and weigh that thicc double bud and main cola from WC#1! Hope it's not too airy, they look like pretty dense buds! Really bummed that I have to harvest this weekend, I would have liked to let #2 and #3 go for another week, but it's all good! Next time! Still this will probably the dankest shit I've smoked in a very long time 😂😎 #1 is probably the most mature at this point with about 90% cloudy and a 5-10% amber. #2 and #3 are the same with about 70-80% cloudy and a few amber. This has been an awesome learning experience and I'm already thinking about ways to improve my next grow! These White Cracks have been quite resistant to my newbiness! Awesome plants to grow! Much easier to hanlde than the 4AM!

Transplanted early this week. This girl showed her pistols under 24hr light so I'm guessing the genetics for her are strong. I plan to let her go and take a few clones. She also got switched to 18/6 light. She is absolutely Killin it

Started their 48 hour of darkness today, am going to chop Wed. I think they did a great job finishing up over the last week, super excited to see how they turned out. Keeping this week's update short and sweet, the next update will be much more detailed. Will post the final update after I finish drying and trimming.

Blue Shark is looking fab! Still a darker green than everyone else. There are 2 videos this week, one where I explain how my plan for a tomato roof using materials I already had didn't work out, and the 2nd being about the rogue who grew in my pea bed (whom I affectionately call "Rogue One") who has been raised almost exclusively on my homemade compost. I had people who were concerned last year when I made my own compost tea from the compost in my pile. People were concerned about bacteria, nutrient profile, etc. I feel like a lot of people get really regimented in their feeding, and they sort of forget that these are plants and they can adapt. They take what they need if it's available. I moved away from using mineral salts this year because you have to be careful with so many of these fertilizers so that you don't burn the plant, you have to flush it so you don't get a harsh smoke, mineral salts causing lockout, etc. If you stick with products that are natural you don't really have to worry about nute burn. You don't have to flush for an extended period of time before harvest. You don't have salts building up in the soil that are detrimental that you have to periodically flush and then add beneficial microbes back in. There is another way.

Week no11? Yes ;-) One more Week...ONLY one more Week.. And you see it?? Do you see the Trichomes?? Do you see how happy she is?? Thats the reason why i dont give Nutrients like anyone write on a paper.. I decide the amount of Nutrients when i look in the morning to my Ladys/Plants... I see how she feels... And what she want and need! So the actually PK mix is around 50-60.... Dont do the same please!! For this you must know what you do...... And i know what i am do... And what she need ;-)

Hey guys :-) We come to the end of the diary and thus to the penultimate update before the Smoke Report. As always, the lady was hung upside down to dry. At temperatures of 18-21 degrees and 54-60 % humidity. After 14 days they were neatly hand trimmed and placed in jars for remote harvesting. Report: I am very happy to write this report. The lady's overall growth was perfect from start to finish. And I don't just mean perfect, I've never seen such a beautiful variety with such beautiful flowers 😍. She had no problems with training ( topping ) and was very easy to grow. The yield was above average, which plays a minor role. In the end, the best yield and the most beautiful appearance of the buds mean nothing if the taste doesn't match. And here is exactly the miracle where all 3 features not only fit but are perfect. Now we come to the third and most important feature the taste :-). It not only smells incredibly delicious but tastes just as delicious ☺️😍. In the smell you can clearly see the choco notes as if you were opening a pack of chocolate. In the taste, this tone comes into its own a little more easily, but the notes of cheescake and fruit are all the stronger. It really tastes extremely delicious and has a very strong terpene profile 💚. I absolutely love it and will be making more phenotypes of this strain. Clearly deserves 10 out of 10 stars and a huge compliment to the Amsterdam Genetics Team 🙏🏻💚. The smoke report with the finished flower pictures will follow shortly. Until then, I wish you lots of fun with the update and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ‘Powered by GreenHouse Feeding’ Copy the link for 10% off all Nutrients 👇🏼 http://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/ affiliate/madelngermany_passiongrower/ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.amsterdamgenetics.com/product/choco-cheesecake/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

This week I just watered the plants with PH’d water and dechlorinated it as well. Going to give recharge when they dry up enough but I did notice the Purple Lemonade has gone a bit lighter than expected with its colors, like a light green leaf rather than dark healthy green. I’m thinking it could be a small deficiency of nitrogen since she did have a better stretch than the LSD’s, I’ll be topping her off with a small amount of 444 all purpose from Gaia greens lineup. Other than that the plants seem happy!
