👉 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.

Unusual late year warm weather has put a hurting on my grow. I intentionally did RDWC in winter to utilize cool temps for my res and not need a chiller, after having random 78 degree days, I’ve ordered a chiller. The temps are a death sentence in hydro, I was adding ice to the res to battle it, won’t happen again after this chiller is put in. Definitely hurt the Apex plant, which has been a pain the entire grow.. it all started when Apex was a seedling, with its tap root growing up instead of down. She looks sad, If she dies or falls too far behind, I’ll train the other three around to fill in the space. No visible signs of root rot but I’m suspicious after those temps, have treated with Orca, SLF-100, and Hydroguard. Worst case scenario, I’ll dump the system and sanitize as best I can.

This week has been good, pistils started showing up on the 27th. Just watering with ph'd dechlorinated tap water. I bought lst wire but I'm not too sure if I did lst the best way but there are about 6 side branches with tops and 5 more on the way. Im probably going to be switching my 50% veg 20% bloom, to a 50/50 consuming 190 true watts from the wall next week.

18.5.25: I watered with 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 780 I added the PK booster this feeding, just to provide some phosphorus without risking an excess. Next time, I won't use it. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. 22.5.25: Well, I had a total disaster with my HulkBerry. My tall, oscillating fan fell over and smashed straight down on her. 3 tops broke, so I had to improvise. I made the repairs and took the photos in under 5 mins. The next morning, the branch closest to the camera had fallen again, attached by only a small membrane. Amazingly, she had turned all the leaves, now on the floor of the tent, upwards towards the light. I patched it up again, and she's not looking too bad. However, I'm going to have to be exceedingly careful when watering the two other plants and moving the pots. I'm going to need to add support, stakes, maybe. I will think of something, no doubt. After all this occurs, I taped her up and watered. I fed 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with; ♡ 1/2 Tsp of Ecothrive Biosys. I also added ♡ 3ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. I figured she would need some nitrogen and the building blocks to heal. N5-P0-K0. I will water again with the same today. Send some healing vibes 🍃✌️💚🤞🌱😊 24.5.25: I watered with Ecothrive Biosys 3ltrs each. The plants are still drinking at least 2 litres per day. They are increasingly thirsty, and it's important that I don't let them dry out. The soil is mostly coco and perlite, so it can dry out quicker. There are plenty of worm castings, too, so that definitely helps. The buds are developing and progressing very nicely, keeping up with the flowering nutrients and alternating between Ecothrive Biosys, Trace, and Greenleaf Nutrients. 25.5.25: I watered with 2.5 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.3 PPM: 840 SOLUTION TEMP: 30°C SOIL PH: 7 SOIL TEMP: 21°C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: 23-26°C RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 58%. Thanks for stopping by 😊🌱🤞💚✌️🍃

The plants are doing great. The buds are getting thicker. The fragrance is incredible. The plants got their first week of cold nights. Now the buds have a beautiful pink-purple appearance. As last week, the 4 autopots of 24 l., (each containing 4 plants), received a nutrient solution of 0.5 liters per pot every 5 days.

Plant is fine, except one stormy night the weather is just fine. Heard that is gonna be a nice September, hope they are right. I plan to cut the tree on the second/third week of September. Yes some yellowing leaves, I still think is the aging process and a little bit of K deficiency, that should have decreased, and looks like it has, new growth are just fine and there is no worsening. Still watering with: Big bud, 2 ml x L CalMag 2 ml x L Bio Bloom 3 ml x L silica, one tablespoon neem oil propolis aloe

The koshers are going great, just transplanted to bigger containers which are the definitive once, no food provided yet im thinking to start slowly next week as the soil i have is quite strong. Also i decided to just keep the 2 plants which are exactly the same for the competition, the other plant which looked different is removed to another room (of course maybe the buds are the same but at the end im looking for the best looking plants for this competition) We also removed the top this week to create some more tops 😁

Meine pflanzen nehmen immer mehr gestalt an. Eine der zwei Diablo Rojo hat leichte Probleme, die Blätter haben gelbe Punkte. Hab es mit verschiedenen methoden versucht zu bessern ( mehr/weniger wasser und weniger Dünger) wächst aber dennoch ganz gut. Alle anderen Pflanzen sehen sehr fit aus.

Hey everyone! 🌿 I'm starting a new micro-grow, this time with Chronic Ryder Reg Auto. I'm already familiar with its non-auto version and really liked it. Let's see how this strain performs! I soaked the seeds in water for 24 hours, then placed them in a moist paper towel for another 24 hours, and now they're in coco coir. 🌱 I watered the coco with a light nutrient solution, and now we wait. Follow my journey! 🚀

Sie wachsen täglich mehrere centimeter und das ist wirklich schön zu sehen, ich habe bis jetzt noch nie so schöne gesunde starke Pflanzen gesehen 😍 Ende Woche 3 habe ich entlaubt und lollipopped und sie haben nicht mal ein bisschen was an Stress empfunden, Ja ich behandle sie 2 mal am Tag Momentan und versuche ihnen alles zu geben was sie brauchen. Das Ergebnis sieht man 😎👌👍🍀 Ich habe 2 verschiedene Phenotypen aber sie scheinen alle mit der gleiche Behandlung zufrieden zu sein. Ab Woche 5 erhöhe ich den EC auf 1.8 Und so bleibt es bis Woche 7. Run off liegt bei 20 %, temp auf 28-29, täglich Gießen 1-2 mal Raucht einen guten bis zu nächste Woche Gute Menschen👌👍

Voy a empezar mi segundo diario, una Blueberry de Zamnesia, y con ello irán unos cuantos por delante, ya que estoy germinando unas cuantas semillas. En esta ocasión estoy usando el Propagator de Zamnesia para la correcta germinación de las pequeñas. Contiene una luz LED de pequeño voltaje 15W para mantener una temperatra constante y un ambiente humedo en el mini-invernadero. Esta blueberry esta situada en la maceta mas grande del mini-invernadero y esta junto a sus compañeras: 2 Red Poison, 2 m Mohan Ram, 2 Jack 47 XL, 1 White Widow, 1 Cream Caramel F1, 1 Purple Queen y 1 Nothern Ligth (todas automaticas excepto la Cream Caramel) Definición: -Los expertos cultivadores de Zamnesia Seeds han logrado crear una cepa autofloreciente y de fácil cultivo a partir de unos genes clásicos. Aprovechándo lo mejor de la famosa cepa Blueberry, han añadido Ruderalis a la mezcla para crear la Blueberry Automatic. Bendecida con unos genes divinos, la Blueberry Automatic presenta un formato fácil de cultivar, rico, vigoroso y potente; y además fácil de manejar para cultivadores novatos. Los consumidores de marihuana medicinal se alegrarán de saber que un par de dosis (o más bien caladas) de la Blueberry Automatic es lo único que necesitan para ayudarles a combatir los síntomas del estrés, la ansiedad, el dolor crónico, las migrañas y otros muchos malestares. Con lo mejor de la Blueberry original, es una erupción volcánica de sabores atractivos, deliciosos aromas y subidones agradables. Vamos, el sueño de cualquier amante del cannabis. La Blueberry Automatic relaja todo el cuerpo, de la cabeza a los pies, lo que la convierte en la elección perfecta para desconectar tras un duro día de trabajo. Típicamente Blueberry, esta versión autofloreciente presenta todos los rasgos característicos de su predecesora. Su famosa coloración azul claro/morado, junto con el familiar aroma y sabor, rematados por la calidad de su subidón/colocón. Como la mayoría de las índicas, la Blueberry Automatic crece hasta una altura de alrededor de 75cm y tarda (como término medio) 8-9 semanas desde la siembra hasta la cosecha. Con estos genes tan rápidos, los cultivadores que busquen una nueva incorporación para su cultivo comercial, estarán más que satisfechos. Teniendo todo esto en cuenta, estoy realmente emocionado de empezar con esta aventura y ver que maravillosa planta crece 😊🌱 Como en todos mis diarios, intentaré hacer un seguimiento continuó para ver las diferencias y cambios que puedan suceder😉 Día 1: Hemos germinando la planta en un mini-invernadero con una luz LED de 20W, con 28°C y una humedad del 60%. Ha crecido bastante bien alcanzando los 3cm Día 2: La plantula sigue en el mismo invernadero con las mismas condiciones y crece bastante rapido alcanzando los 7cm. Día 3: Hoy hemos transplantado al armario y a su maceta final. Una maceta de 7L con una mezcla de sustrato de Top Crop Complete Mix y Biobizz Light Mix en una proporción de 70/30. Todas las maceta tienen 3mg de Micro Vita para protegerla de las plagas. Hemos regado con 1L de agua con 1ml de Deep Underground de Top Crop (enrraizador) para que empiece a crear el sistema radicular lo mas fuerte posible. La temperatura en el armario es de 30°C con una HR de 60%. Hemos pasado el período de luz de 24/0 a 18/6. Tambien hemos enterrado un poco mas la planta para que no salga demasiado espigada dejandola 3cm de la superficie. El armario tiene incorporado un humificador 🔥 Día 4: La planta tiene buen ritmo y buen color. Hay algun pequeño problema en cuanto a la humedad ya que baja basante porque estoy trabajando con un foco de sodio de 400W en un armario 1x1x2 y ahora mismo las temperaturas en mi ciudad es bastante alta. Este problema lo estoy solucionando con el humidificador que veis en las fotos y con un pulverizador de agua y así subir la HR considerablemente. Por lo demas todo va sobre ruedas 😊👌 Día 5: Sin novedades
