👉 This is the first staggered harvest I have done. The highest parts of the plant were definitely ahead of each lower level of flowers. So it made sense to give this a try. Also, there were so many sugar leaves in the flowers I knew I was facing some major trim time. So I started at the highest branch of colas and that was the main stem…what I call the Queen cola, on April 4. I was also very busy with work and life so I spaced out each successive branch by a day or two…or so. To harvest I would cut each major branch from the top down. There would be one major cola ( and best specimen) on each branch. That cola was trimmed so it was still on its stem and then weighed. I recorded the weight of the cola then assigned it a letter, put on a clothes pin, then hung on a rack. I would weigh the cola over a couple of days till it had loss 75% of it wet weight. I would cut from the stem for the final weight, then place in a jar with a hygrometer. I would monitor the jars and if they were above 62% I would take off the jar lid, then replace when humidity was back down. When stable I put a humidity pack in some of the jars, but not all, just to see if I can observe a difference after the cure. 👉 My last trim penance was served on May 1. Almost a full month. The first cola harvested is already being tested. I did a close trim and removed as many sugar leaves as possible. I think I spent over 10 hours in total. So glad I chose to stagger the job. I trimmed any frosty sugar leaves over a trim tray with a screen for a bottom. I also scissored a bunch of the larf buds into small bits to add to the trim. I made a nice small wafer of just trichomes with no plant matter. Very nice, sweet stuff. I’m letting the large pile of trimmed sugar leaves dry out till crispy and will hand grind them over that screen and press the kief produced into pucks. It’s green and has lots of plant material with it…but its still sweet, and a very nice topper to a bong or joint. 👉 There were a lot of nice buds of what I call secondary flowers. Those were on secondary branch ends mostly. These buds were placed on a dry net. After 24hrs, I placed them in a paper bag. When they had lost 75% of their wet weight they were put into a jar with a hydrometer. Almost everything that wasn’t a branch end flower was put in the larf bin. Lots of larf. I didn’t weight any of it dry and just the wet weight from a couple of branches. I plan on making bubble hash and extracts (oil and tincture) with the larf. Of course planning and doing are two separate issues. I have acquired all the proper gear and done lots of research. I am also experimenting with the drying environment. In the past I was using a direct fan to oscillate directly on the buds for 24 hrs. At 24hrs the buds were put in bags and also kept them in direct wind. After a couple of branch sets I decided to stop oscillating the fan and make the breeze indirect. I still put the buds in bags after 24 hrs and kept the wind indirect. It took a few days to get to 25% doing it this way, as opposed to 2 days in bags with direct wind. The slower is supposed to be better, but risks moldy buds. I’m not doing everything the same way so I’m curious to see if there are perceptible differences in jar aroma and taste. To further complicate things to eye-roll status, The staggered harvest should have improved the lower level of flowers to the same ripeness. I can honestly tell buds from the same plants taken at different levels. The lower ones are noticeably weaker. I won’t start testing to see if there is improvement till the flowers are at least 4 months cured.

Photography Credits @TopShelfStealth23 Método de @TopShelfStealth23 (principalmente) and @nonick123 La cosecha Cuando todos los tricomas estén de color lechoso y algunos ámbar, debes proceder a cortar las plantas Elige si hacer manicurado en seco o en húmedo, dependiendo de tu capacidad de controlar la temperatura y la humedad relativa en tu cuarto de secado Seca las plantas durante 7-10 días colgando boca abajo o sobre una mallado de secado (prefiero la primera opción) hasta que las ramas se partan haciendo un sonido como "clack". Siempre en un sitio oscuro, ventilado pero sin corriente de aire directa sobre las plantas o cogollos. Luego curalas en botes herméticos de vidrio durante 30 días Después, ya puedes probarlas! Disfruta!

Things are pretty easy breezy, since we are keeping it simple! The odd-looking leaf growth is evening out with new growth. The conditions of the environment are pretty ideal, with lots of nutrients in the soil and a little Root Juice to kick off the early vegetative phase. VPD is at 0.57 kPa across the board, and the lamp is hitting with 500 PPFD, while the temperature is at 27 degrees Celsius when the lamp is on and 20 degrees when the lights are off. I do run the lamp at nighttime to avoid high temperature peaks during the daytime in the simplest of ways.

Do Si Dos is one of Zamnesia's favorite strains, this time we grew it in the F1 Hybrid Automatic version and we have two plants. The one you see in most of the photos that was worked with a main lining and due to its characteristics of low internodal distance and the slightly cold climate it remained in Bonsai style. It will not be a huge production but from the structure and the start of flowering we are ready to bet that it will be beautiful. Of the other one left to grow straight I will only put a few photos in the growbox and as soon as it is ready however it will have the full service like the others, the plants worked with the techniques have stolen a bit of the scene from the plants left to grow straight which are obviously finishing a bit earlier. We are still using soil, fertilizers and all the additives recommended by Plagron 100% organic. We are still in the early flowering program that maintains the same additives Power Roots, Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and adds the flowering stimulant Power Buds. Of course the basic fertilizer is now Alga Bloom. The Green Sensation hero of the end of flowering will arrive and at the same time it will be time to remove power roots and a week later the enzymes. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your feeding schedule based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10664-zamnesia-seeds-do-si-dos-f1-automatic.html Zamnesia Description // From the team at Zamnesia Seeds comes Do-Si-Dos F1 Automatic. Using consistent and reliable F1 genetics, this strain is not only incredibly easy to grow, but also offers potent and delicious buds. The plants remain small and offer a reliable growing experience that everyone will appreciate. All the best that mother nature has to offer is at ---- www.zamnesia.com

After a month they are doing quite good. Should be bigger by this time but well... there were problems on the way. It's good now ;) Middle one - Grandpa's Cookies is smallest and least branchy - but it was germinated almost 2 weeks after the rest so it's normal. Strawberry Cough is still weird and sicklish - but I hope it'll bounce back in the new soil. All of them were topped last week and the tallest - Strawberry Cough got some LST clips installed to make her more "ghrounded" ;)

Cream Cookies looking great! Bud sites everywhere. The leaves are a little more yellowish than I prefer. Going to try backing down on the nutes and give her Recharge only for the next week or two to see if that helps green things up at all.

Harvest report for Ak47. Breaking ground to harvest was 91 days. Wet weight was 288 grams Dry weight =49g Power used for 13 weeks. 268.1Kw used on lighting. £80.43 at £0.30 a Kw Average 2.946 Kw a day =147 Watts power an hour during lights on. Dry weight from this grow. #1 49g #2 37g #3 46g #4 39g #5 51g #6 52g Total 273g True g/W 273÷147=1.85g/W This was one great grow and there are a few strains I'm really considering running again straight away. This strain is one that I want to grow again but give her a bigger pot. She has grown decent solid buds. One thing I have learnt during this grow is that the idea of cramming 9 autos into my tent was a stupid idea and trialling it with 6 plants was wise.

Week 7 Veg Report 🌿✨ Hey Grow Fam! 🌱 Week 7 of veg is here, and let me tell you, the grow room is buzzing with life! Each of the girls is showing off her unique personality, and I’m especially stoked about the Papaya Zoap—she’s really coming into her own! The scrog net is nearly filled out just how I wanted it, and I can feel we’re so close to flipping to flower. The anticipation is real! 😁 But before we get to flowering, let’s take a dive into something that makes this grow so smooth—ThinkGrow LED drivers and cables. ThinkGrow LED Drivers – Plugging Into Success 💡🔗 This week, I had a chance to work deeper with the ThinkGrow LED system, and honestly, it’s like a dream come true for efficiency. I’ve been using the TLD-4 Four Spectrum Control Channels Model One LED Driver, and let me break down how it works. The drivers attach directly to the bars—super sleek and no extra bulk. And, the connections? It’s a matter of matching the male and female connectors on the TDC-2 Daisy Chain Cord. It’s like a simple puzzle that snaps together perfectly. The TDC-4 cord takes it to the next level, connecting the top bars to the ICL-300 Inner-Canopy LED Bar, giving complete control and balance across every layer of my canopy. Why is this important? The driver-to-bar connection ensures that each LED bar is operating optimally, and the daisy-chain system makes it effortless to manage multiple bars without a ton of wires everywhere. It’s neat, efficient, and delivers even light distribution, which my plants are loving! 🌞 Are My Girls Ready for Flower? 🌸 When I look at the plants up close, it’s like they’re whispering, “Flip me to flower already!” 😆 Their growth has been so vigorous, each filling out the space with character, and that scrog net is almost fully covered. So, I’m thinking we’re super close to the big switch. Each plant has its own pace, but as a whole, the grow is looking fantastic! Room Stats – Tuning Into the Environment 🌡️ The TrolMaster system is still killing it with data and control, making it easier for me to keep everything balanced. Here’s a quick breakdown of the week’s environmental numbers, and a few jokes along the way! 😜 • Room Temps: Max 25.5°C | Min 24.4°C (Keeping it cool but not too chill!) • RH: Max 76.4% | Min 67.1% (Humidity stays right where it needs to be.) • CO2: Max 832 ppm | Min 420 ppm (Shout out to that magical 420! 🌬️😂) • VPD: Max 1.06 kPa | Min 0.64 kPa (All dialed in for peak veg mode.) Light Levels – All in the Details 💡 • Max PPFD: 506 | Min 0 (because, you know, when the lights are off, it’s dark! 🌚😆) Keeping the light intensity balanced, and using the ThinkGrow LED system to spread that goodness across the entire canopy, I’m seeing explosive growth. Those PPFD levels are perfect for this stage! Water & Nutrients – The Lifeline 💧 • Solution pH: Max 6.32 | Min 5.78 (Keeping it in the perfect range.) • TDS: 355 ppm steady (Every drop counts, right?) • Solution Temp: Max 23.5°C | Min 22.3°C (Keeping things cool, just like the grow!) And medium moisture? It’s a solid 100% thanks to my AutoPots and the genius of the AquaValve system. No electricity needed—just gravity doing its magic. It makes my life so much easier, and the girls are loving the consistent hydration! No more worrying about under- or over-watering. Why I’m Obsessed with TrolMaster 📱 I can’t talk about this grow without shouting out the TrolMaster system. Every bit of data—whether it’s temperature, RH, VPD, CO2, light intensity, or pH—gets tracked and displayed in real-time on my app. It’s like having a grow assistant in my pocket, making sure I can monitor and adjust at any moment. The level of control I get with TrolMaster is out of this world, and it’s helping me keep everything dialed in perfectly. Ready to Flip Soon 🌸 With the Papaya Zoap filling out so nicely and the rest of the plants following suit, I feel like we’re right on the edge of flipping to flower. It’s going to be a smooth transition, and I can’t wait to see these beauties bloom! Stay tuned for next week, where we might just make that flip! 😉 Environment Stats Recap 📊 • Room Temp: Max 25.5°C | Min 24.4°C • RH: Max 76.4% | Min 67.1% • CO2: Max 832 ppm | Min 420 ppm (Seriously, shoutout to 420 again! 😂) • VPD: Max 1.06 kPa | Min 0.64 kPa • Light PPFD: Max 506 | Min 0 (obviously, when the lights are off! 😜) • Solution pH: Max 6.32 | Min 5.78 • Solution Temp: Max 23.5°C | Min 22.3°C • Medium TDS: Max 430 | Min 420 (I can’t get enough of these 420 jokes! 😆) Final Thoughts 💚 This week has been a blast! Between the ThinkGrow LED system and the TrolMaster gear, I feel like I’m pushing the limits of what’s possible in indoor horticulture. Everything is dialed in, the plants are healthy, and the data just keeps showing that we’re right on track. Shout Outs! As always, huge thanks to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the amazing gear, to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrients and Pro-Mix for the best soil i have used so far.

Satisfecho con los resultados y el control sobre la temperatura con nuestro Cooltube reduciendo eficientemente cerca de 5-6 grados al armario. El itinerario para nuestro cultivo es mantener en las condiciones actuales a nuestras 5 bebes y durante la tercera semana germinar La sexta. Recordar que este diario está enfocado solo en 4 babys, macetas de 11Litros 3xGlueberry OG Auto de DutchPassion y 1xLSD-25 de FastBuds, muy buenas genéticas de muy buenos bancos que esperamos potenciar en cosecha con tecnicas de Bajo estrés incluyendo el mallado SCROG, y ya en etapa avanzada de crecimiento una tecnica de Alto estrés conocida como popping (poda de bajos) además de un casi completo programa de fertilización, contando con los nutrientes básicos de vegetacion y floracion (top veg y top bloom) y para las primeras semanas ya en uso un enraizante (Top underground) y otros productos para terminar la floración de la mejor manera posible. Sígueme en IG @cestlaweed para mayor información, y cualquier comentario o consejo es sumamente bien recibido ✨🌱

I think I started flushing to early, back to feeding for 2 more weeks then I will flush, I goofed on the flowering time I did not take into consideration the veg time for 4 weeks so my harvest is more like a month out I see some yellowing in the lower leaves these nugs need to put on some weight so back to feeding. I scrapped the SCROG and the Blue Dream. Some new pics and some new time-lapse. A small tribute to one of the greatest Drummers in the world. RIP Neil Peart. they are starting to smell a little stronger. I hope I did not mess these up gave them a diluted feeding today 1/11/20 and soaked the whole pot till run off, PH was 6.1 PPM was 1780 lets see what happens this week. Trichomes are looking milky and a few amber, I want to see next week if it puts on any more weight, Got a good comment on my question regarding early feeding and stunting the growth Thanks GD Community. I will try not to RUSH these ladies and give them a little more time. 🙏

Water change day .. Drinking. 2000 ml each per day.. So 6 days on the nute change... ******************* 2 Buckets done .. 5 Left . I may leave the caramel cream autos until tomorrow , they are drinking slightly less per day , but the big girls are drinkers for sure .... So getting better at mixing nutes, bought giant bag of disposable droppers, god damn so much easier for me . I have visual impairment, and shaky hands from the brain tumors. The visual impairment is bad, but the shakes come and go . I normally get a few good rips on the Dr Dabber Switch before i start to help. But the mixing went much better . less mess and i simply pitched the pipette after each use . YEs i know wasteful .... but for me , for now its what i have to do. 1 pipette for each nute for each bucket, they are cheap enough. This way not contaminating anything, and at the amount im mixing, 3 mils - 20 mils each . Biggest problem i have, and i guess maybe not a bad problem ... I have 4 girls on one side of the 4x9 tent, and 3 on the other. The four on the one side are all Glue Gelato Autos and my lord I can not get to the back left side bucket at all with the amount of foliage. So moved a bucket to the other side to allow me to drop in a pail to do a siphon out and refill. See pictures... So I am 10000% upgrading to the 13 gallon x 8 fall ponic system after this grow ..... THANK GOD the caramel cream autos are half the size and 1 of the glue gelatos is slightly smaller on the right to allow me to move around the tent slightly, and im a lean dude.... But i am surprised each day when i check the progress just how far they have come for my first try ... Still have low expectationsfor crops and yields , but am loving the time learning and getting to know hydroponics. I TOTALLY get when the OG growers say just listen to them they will tell you what they need, legit all i have done is feed, maintain enviroment and observe. positive i can not make the same moistakes i made so far net time just by learning my lessons and understanding better the purpose for each Nute and how to spot when the plants are asking for them . Well have atleast 2 more to do tonight most likely will get all the gelato glues done Cheers Check out band i recently turned on to .. Fortunate Youth on Sugar Shack ...

I upped the nutes to 4ml/l but started seeing purple discolouring on the lower fan leaves so I think I'll use less bio grow. It is quite weird because my other plant doesn't have this problem. I wasn't able to inspect the trichomes as good so I'll also do it tomorrow. The smell of this lady is a bit less strong than the purple lemonade but still very pleasant.
