👉 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.

Hey guys :-) Unfortunately I had so much to do with the flowers that I hardly had time for the veggie update last week :-) I trained the ladies with LST and topping. I will do that for a while because you still have time until there is space in the bloom tent 😅. They were watered twice a week with 1-1.2 l each time (see table above for nutrients). Tomorrow they will be treated again with nematodes against tripse because I saw some in the vegi room 😡. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. Have fun with the update 💚 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : Greenhouse seeds Company Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Blütetag 58 Hey Freunde, ich hab heute spontan geerntet (leider etwas zu früh), aber jetzt kann ich mich auf Weihnachten konzentrieren und die Trichome waren fast alle milchig, also halb so wild. 🤓 Für den ersten Run nach über 10 Jahren bin ich relativ zufrieden, vor allem in der kurzen Zeit! 🦊 Die Bilder sind Leider nicht wirklich gut geworden, war ohne Lampe leider zu dunkel, aber ich mach nochmal welche wenns getrocknet is! Ich wünsch euch und euren lieben schöne Feiertage und frohe Weihnachten! 🎄💚

Welcome everyone Here we are with the final conclusions about this brand new CHUPACABRA 🍭🐐🌱 Breeding by MICROGENETICA Seed bank 🏆 We have passed togheter the entire summer and to be honest this is the girst time I have grow indoor during this hot months. Usually I do some outdoor, but you know, the virus was can't give me any chance to do it.. Anyway About the hot climate 🌡️🌡️ She has was very resistent , but a little slowly in grow.. Honestly in the beginning my idea was to do a "normal" lst , but in the end she looks like some desert treehs 😅🌳 In some point , i think because i have use to much silicium , the stem was bee to hard for beeing training in the way i was want.. And so I have decided to create something "artistic" 🎨 Five long months 21 colas 🚀 Flowers has a very sweet with some cheese notes 🧀 Very oleous 🔥 In the end I have collected about 70g , dry and cure Very dense nuggets Good amount of trichomes 👌 Honestly I was can do a better job , especially during bloom 🙌 I have growed her in a Living soil , so basically only water with some molasses and sometimes aloe vera and silicium.. But I was have some deficency in P. And so I have done just a tea with some guano and kelp I have not do something more because im in learning with this type of growing. Now I know that for the next time I will have to change something by adding elements in different quantities during the preparation of the soil But in any case , the aroma and taste are intense and rich 🤩 Very enjoyable to smoke , just weed and rolling papers But with a good vaporaizer it will be much better 💯 I also think it would be a very good strain for exctraction To try 😎 And that's all I have put every info possible during any week from the beginnig to the ends , if you want to know more about this grow cycle.. And also photos 😉 Unfortunally I was cant be able to update the last week of flowering because I was having some account problems But here we are In the end im happy about this strain and I definetly can raccomended it to everybody Definitely good for making clones So.. Thanks to Microgenetica seedbank for the seeds 🙏🙏 And thank you so much Grow Diaries , like as always 🤟🤙🙏 See you Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

Beginning of week.. Well, the branches were beginning to spilt at the top node.. Thats why they say to leave some stem between nodes when topping.. Them fuckers will split.. Even with such thick stem growth.. It was splitting pretty deep already.. So I said fuck it.. One single node it is... Thats ok tho.. She will still fill out her suitcase home with what Im gonna do to her! Gonna go up just a tad on the nutes.. The runoff pH and PPM are coming out pretty much just as they go in.. Niceeeee! She is gonna do such amazing things!!! Just watch! Next day... I havent got pics yet.. But I pretty much tied each of the main tops down.. Not quite pointing down yet.. Which is my main goal for a few days to let the new little branches can gain some dominance and then probably just leave her at that.. Just the 2 branches on the sides and let the main branches back up after a week or 2 and should have 6 main tops goin in the suitcase lol... Pics coming in a couple days. Hope this comes out as Im wishing lol.. And symmetrical.. I hate uneven colas.. Especially in this small nano shit lol even had to water again.. She is beginning to drink quite a bit more.. Noice! More time with her! I love it! Lol hope the springtails dont make it over to this one.. I need to buy either some diamiteous earth or whateverthefuck lol or some neem oil.. I heard neem is ok but the diamitenomious earth or wtf ever seems a bit quicker??... Maybe??? Idk lol.. Anybody got any ideas?? Or have any input on getting rid of pests in the medium.. Not on the leaves as far as I can tell.. They dont seem to hurt the plant either.. But they are just a nuisance to have in the runoff all the time.. Like I said.. Not in this plant yet.. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time with the way these mf's multiply.. I'll get rid of 1000's up to twice a day.. That must mean there are MILLIONS in there still.. Fuuuck.. Lol.. But any input or ideas fellow growmies?? Mid week.. She is filling out nicely.. Trying to tie the branches down more to bring the tops further down than the 2 new branches on each branch.. But since they are already so thick and short.. Its hard to tie them that far so Ive just been bending the very top sprout down by hand a few times a day.. When I can.. I read about this technique my first ever grow.. Just bending the very tip at the stem.. Almost making it weak.. Kinda like a supercrop I guess.. But weakening that part of the stem will just slow the top growth above it down.. But of course all the healthy new sprouts will take over with that apical dominance jazz lol.. But yeah.. Leaves are getting super dark green.. But i like it. Seems like such a strong sturdy leaf lol.. Thats a good thing I would think.. New growth is of course doing what it always does.. But still coming out to a healthy shade of green. The last pic for "mid week" is just showing there is still no preflower.. Sometimes I get it this early on.. Also that ai removed the fan leaf before it was every big enough to even get any sunlight to open the inside of the bush more.. Just did it super early and regretting it now cuz it might fuck up the apical dominance jazz since the back of the leaf I removed isnt there to block the light.. But im sure the minor supercropping to the tips should help do what I'm trying to make her do.. We shall see! Also added a little Floralicious Plus to the mix.. She dries out pretty well every other day now I believe.. Which is a good thing to let the medium get pretty dry too.. So the roots will do some searching and creating a big rootball a bit quicker.. I love these plants! Lol.. Later that day... Fuck.. Well she has been topped again at 2nd node this time.. Its cool.. Fuck it lol.. The supercropping type shit I was doing isn't meant for very new growth I guess.. Luckily it left some stem so they shouldnt split like last time.. Still gonna shoot for a nice, thick canopy.. We shall see how it goes

Week 2, added big bud and did some light defoliating. i also added stakes on 2 plants, to help spread out the branches. The blueberry seems to be the hungriest plant of the group.

I cut another part of the girls, and the total is even greater than the first part! We wait another week for the final sums, but right now the flavor is unique.

Bueno , este es el segundo cultivo que realizó del la cepa "Waka" , el anterior lo tengo igualmente documentado en otro diario . en esta ocasión cultivamos los clones que habíamos recolectado del cultivo pasado , guardando los fenotipos que nos gustaron más y los clones restantes los pasamos a floración que fueron los que se le hizo seguimiento en este diario. El crecimiento fue bastante explosivo y reaccionaron muy bien a cada trasplante realizado . pude observar que los clones de cada fenotipo seleccionado se desarrolló con mucha similitud al de sus madres . El olor en vegetación es bastante discreto y en floración se pone un más intenso El desarrollo en floración fue explosivo generando bastante resina y se vieron muy hambientras . Al fumar se puede sentir un rico toque cítrico en las N° 4 se siente un fuerte sabor a limón en algunas flores mucho mas marcado que en otras, N° 3 y 13 un agradable toque a naranjas muy rico de sentir en el paladar , La N° 8 con pizcas dulces bastante interesantes. El humo al fumar es muy suave lo que permite sentir mejor el sabor de cada fenotipo.- saludos y buenos humos😉 Al momento de cosechar se cortaron los clone y se dejo secando en oscuridad a temperatura ambiente por cerca de 16 días posterior a eso se pasó a curar en frascos

disaster struck.. during a heavy storm the cage of the gorilla breath #1 which was the best looking plant collapsed. the stem didn't break but every attempt to place it back failed. i ended up using rope attached to a pole and then to the cage to make it kinda better. unfortunately due to the fact that the plant laid down on his side for a couple days, i found multiple spots of budrot. so... the plan is to chop her down tomorrow. the trichomes aren't quite ready yet but i guess i'll have to save what's left. the other plants are hanging more by the day as they are really bulking up, i had planned to chop down the gorilla breath's and the Sapphire scout next friday on the 11th of october. then they'll have finshed their 9th week of flowering but the gorilla breath #1 is probably going down tomorrow, what do you think? should i do it tomorrow or Just wait another week and keep checking daily

🇩🇪 Ich war dann doch neugierig und hab mich dazu entschieden nach einer Woche einen Teil der restlichen Erde und den Rand vom Airpot zu entfernen um mal zu schauen wie sich die Wurzeln in dem Bereich machen. Und tatsächlich mehr oder wenige wie geplant und am Ende durch das verrutschen der Pflanzen oberhalb der Erde auch wie erwartet nicht ganz perfekt aber dennoch bin ich für den ersten Versuch sehr zufrieden. Auch wenn die Wurzel nicht von Fingerspitze zu Fingerspitze geht und sich der Stamm nicht mehr zur Seite sonder mehr nach oben verwachsen hat. Ist sie trotzdem sehr gelungen. Und kann sich die nächste Zeit erstmal wieder erholen und wird nur hier und da in Form gehalten. Happy growing💛✌️ 🇬🇧 I got curious and decided after a week to remove some of the remaining soil and the edge of the Airpot to see how the roots were doing in that area. And indeed, more or less as planned, and in the end, due to the plants shifting above the soil, it wasn't quite perfect, as expected, but I'm still very happy with it for the first attempt. Even though the root doesn't stretch from fingertip to fingertip and the stem has grown upwards instead of sideways, she still turned out very well and can now recover for a while and will only need occasional trimming. Happy growing! 💛✌️
