👉 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.

It was a good week, with some good growth. The ladies have settled in and are a starting to reach up. I’ve been keeping the environment steady at about 78 degrees, and 60-62% humidity. It goes down to about 70 degrees at night. I’ve been watering sparingly still, about 1 cup of water every third day. Near the end of the week they were getting 2 cups and have lasted more than two days without showing they are needing again. I decreased the light schedule to 18 hours, and they seem to be benefiting from the dark cycle, or less DLI. LST will start next week! Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Hello Diary, The second week of flowering is over and as you can see from the photos, Medusa is developing incredibly fast. The flowers are filling up really nicely, taking on an already beautiful scent that overwhelms me when I open the Farm's door. All in all, both plants are beautiful, although they differ in structure, the flowers are almost identical on both plants. It's unbelievable to me that it's only the fifth week since the beginning of the vegetation, they are really developing very quickly. They stagnated in height growth, only a few centimeters this week, so they reached their maximum height of about 50 cm. This requires more frequent watering, so I increased the amount when watering and the time interval between each watering decreased. The conditions are good, the temperature is around 25 degrees while the humidity is around 45%. Here's what it looked like last week. 22/02/2023. - Day 29. Watering. I prepared 8 liters of water, lowered the pH. at 6.0 and I watered both plants evenly with that amount. 26/02/2023. - Day 33. Watering. This time I added Bigger Flowers and Thicker Flowers from the Bio Flowering Booster palette. I also removed a couple of leaves at the very bottom of the plant to make watering easier. 28/02/2023. - Day 35. Photographing and measuring plants. Medusa F1 #1 - 50 cm Medusa F1 #2 - 47 cm That's all for this week, see you soon.

It's time for a thrilling week 4 flower report on my magnificent Medusa F1 from Royal Queen Seeds. This girl is an absolute monster, and I'm not just talking about her size! She's bursting with buds that are starting to resemble baseballs scattered throughout the garden. It's like a home run derby in there! Now, let's talk about the power of mass defoliation. I carefully stripped away those excess leaves, creating space for the buds to shine. It's like giving them a VIP pass to the spotlight. By removing unnecessary foliage, we channel the plant's energy towards bud production. It's like a backstage makeover, where the stars of the show get all the attention. The result? Bigger, denser, and more potent buds that'll knock your socks off! I mean my Medusa's buds are growing so big that they're starting to look like baseballs. But hey, let's be grateful they're not golf balls, or else we'd have quite the game to play in the garden! I want to give a special shout out to Royal Queen Seeds for providing me with this incredible opportunity to grow the Medusa F1. Their genetics are truly exceptional, giving us the chance to cultivate plants that are nothing short of spectacular. Thank you, Royal Queen Seeds, for being the game-changers in the cannabis world! Stay tuned for more updates on the awe-inspiring journey with my Medusa F1. Until then, keep growing, keep smiling, and enjoy the amazing genetics that Royal Queen Seeds has to offer. Wishing you all bountiful harvests and an abundance of green goodness! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS MEDUSA F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

She boasts uniform grow traits, mouthwatering aromas and flavours, and plenty of potency. If you're looking to bring stable, elongated plants into your room, tent, or garden, look no further. Mouthwatering Aromas, High Potency, and Mid-Size Plants Though she won't turn you to stone like the mythical goddess after which she's named, Medusa F1 is bound to get you plenty stoned in her own special way. Combining genetics from inbred lines deriving from Sugar Magnolia, a thick and sweet indica, and American Beauty, a fast, fruity hybrid loved for its well-balanced, positive high, the result is an autoflowering F1 variety that produces fresh flavours, a unique cannabinoid profile, and large yields. A very aromatic cultivar with a vibrant concentration of terpenes bearing notes of fresh mint alongside an upfront peppery kick, backed up by hints of fresh fruit, berries, and tangy fuel. Her thick, frosty flowers consistently produce high levels of THC and CBG, as well as high concentrations of myrcene, ocimene, farnesene, and caryophyllene. As a result, Medusa F1 has strong effects that relax and stone the body from head to toe (brought on by particularly high concentrations of myrcene and farnesene) while motivating the mind with an uplifting, creative, and motivating kick (thanks to high concentrations of ocimene). Medusa F1 seeds produce elongated autoflowering plants with long, strong branches and well-spaced internodes. Plants regularly grow up to 80–85cm tall and boast a fast flowering time of just 42–45 days (72 days from germination to harvest). Thanks to her genetics, Medusa F1 produces plenty of thick flowers with big, swollen calyxes that make for very easy trimming. Medusa F1 is very stable, handling stress and unfavourable growing conditions with ease, though she is somewhat susceptible to Botrytis, so make sure to keep tabs on the humidity in your grow room/garden

WEEK 5 START OF DAY 28 NUTRIENTS— Front Row AG Part A 4.2g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.8g per gallon Front Row AG SI .5ml per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Clean Up .2g per gallon I am not sponsored by Front Row AG. I have purchased the entire lineup of Front Row AG after seeing it on a commercial level with great success…freakin great success! This week everything was transplanted to their final pots. I will change some things next run, but I already had 5 galling fabrics pots so this is where I’m at. I made homemade drip rings out of 1/2 inch tube. Each tube had 1/8 inch holes drilled into the bottom of it. They will be controlled by their own shut off valves individually. This is also because I’m using the last of a bunch of stuff. Some pots are pure coco, some coco/perlite, and 1 pot of promix hp. Because they will all take water at different rates, and I have an automatic water system, shutoff’s will be used to control the amount of water when the pumps turned on. This seems like a lot but I had everything on hand. Next run will be rockwool slabs and double the plants. Lights are only running at 30% 250ppfd at the top of the plants. I will update as much as possible. Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you next week.

●Well unfortunately the ballast blew on my light so I'm harvesting 6 days or so sooner than I had wanted. Will be giving a 6 or 7 day hang dry. I will post weights and flavors once dried and cured. As of now Big Bud has a strong bubblegum aroma. I'm very excited to give her a taste!

Hi, everybody. With you back in touch with the Russian gardener. Today I decided to show you my friend's tent. The size of 100 cm by 100 cm has 5 plants of auto AK 47. 5 plants-63 days. 9 weeks. He did not do LST training, but pulled them with a lamp, raising it every week by 10 cm. This is one of the most common cannabis strains on the Russian market. Thanks to strong undemanding genetics, grows almost anywhere in the most adverse conditions, great for the harsh Russian climate and for novice gardeners who with minimal skills want to get the most. As you can see, yesterday we planted 21 sprouted young plants that are preparing for guerrilla cultivation in the open air Later, when we grow them outdoors, I will create a separate diary with a detailed description. Despite the little experience of growth, my friend is a good student and a reliable person, we have grown grass together and harvested. That's why I trust him. Except him, more no one knows about my Hobbies. In this case it is necessary to observe secrecy.

🌸 Critical Orange Punch – Week 6 Flowering | Enter Overdrive Critical Orange Punch is now showing off its compact and resinous nature. The structure is becoming more solid, and the buds are starting to accumulate mass and sugars thanks to the initiation of the Overdrive phase in the Advanced Nutrients Master Recipe protocol. Irrigation management has been optimized with 3 watering cycles per day via drip kit, to keep the substrate constantly moist but never saturated. 🔆 Combined lighting: Phlizon FD9600 at 100% Mars Hydro ADlite 100W for undercanopy coverage 🌀 Evolving climate control: The Trotec TTK 33 E will be activated on Friday evening in automatic mode at set humidity, with continuous draining, to maintain ideal levels during the most critical hours. ➡️ No additional boosters beyond those in the table. Maximum fidelity to the AN recipe.

Welcome to week 12 of my grow diary. There's not much new this week. The plant is growing as it should and is slowly starting to stretch. I have increased the watering quantity to 10 litres as the soil dries out too quickly. Unfortunately, my nettle slurry has now been used up. The stem is now 3cm wide. See you next week ✌️

Я так и не понял FastBuds, может потому что в моей стране война, каждый день были ракетные обстрелы и я не смог нормально выращивать. Обновления 13.05.2023 русские террористы продолжают убивать мирных людей. Очередной ракетный обстрел Украины 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦. Моё утро началось не с кофе а из 13 взрывов ракет. россия и русские это террористы, убийцы, преступники.
