En fin...como todo lo que empieza, también se termina y casi estamos recogiendo el fruto de todo el amor, la dedicación y cariño inmenso que le ponemos a la más bella planta del universo. Tengo amigos a quien les digo que he tenido veces que en lo más hondo de mi alma, mi primera y última voluntad sería no cortar mis grows. Casi como si fuera en mi íntimo, lo que más deseaba, seria tenerlas preciosas para siempre y ver sus colores, sus aromas...quién no le gusta llegar a casa y la primera cosa es caminar hacia la habitación donde está el armario de grow...ver como los LED se proyectan en los colores verdes...si en mi temporada de verano tenía los colores naranjas de la Russian Auto de FastBuds...ahora con las temperaturas más bajas de finales de otoño, la Strawberry Cheesecake de Barney's...ay, que trabajos me ha dado esta señorita, eh!! Como me dejó llevar por sus colores morados y estos cogollos con la explosión de naranjas y rosados y ámbar (que no necesitamos tan solo admirarlas con el Photoshop en las páginas de los catálogos de los bancos...si!!! Que las fotos que sacó en casa no llevan filtros y los cogollos salen aún más preciosos que en las fotos de los amigos de Barney's). Hace poco "luchaba" con ella, poniéndole ScroG, trelizas, pin plásticos para hacerle Low Stress intentando controlar una "señorita" para la cual tenía pensado no más que un metro de alto y que cuando me seguía subiendo al casi metro y medio en floración sin detener su crecimiento...a esta "señorita" por la primera vez en mi vida, tuve que hacerle un supercropping encima de otro supercropping haciéndole un callo del grosor de un puño en su cola por que de otra manera no hubiera tenido techo de armario donde me cupiera el estirón de sus ramas. Me anunciaban en Barney's que su genética habría de salir una Indica en su aspecto arbustivo, pero no...la naturaleza no se equivoca en sus caprichos y en su "sopa" genética, sus ramas de Sativa se impusieron...hay que aceptar con tranquilidad lo que se nos viene encima y como no...pese a que en su final las hojas largas nos dijeron "Indica presente"...hemos tenido una Sativa...en todo, su tiempo de hacerse y desarrollarse en 13 semanas y la forma como con la red de ScroG se pudo conseguir que las luces llegaran donde no habrían de tener llegado. La pequeñita Strawberry que el 12 de septiembre despuntaba del jiffy, tímida y delicada...hoy es una "señora" y su paso por el mundo subirá en rollos de humo dulce y por el medio de sonrisas y por que no, "cabezones" por qué su "Indica" también hablará en su híbrida expresión, se recordará como una verdadera belleza...y si...por qué si miráis a las fotos, es también y mucho una belleza. Dejando la poesía de la vida aparte, esta semana ha sido semana que empezó con el flush el Domingo...agua corriente para que se lavara lo que le hemos dado en estas 13 semanas. Como no le hemos dado demasiado, donde le habríamos de dar lo justo, con el flush, muy rápido pudimos ver que el agua marrón se sustituía por água Clara, dando la señal que la hemos limpiado como se merecía...y seguro que tendremos humos suaves y aromáticos y no esa cosa que a veces nos toca cuando compramos alguna hierba a un amiguete que sea más apresurado y que a veces con la saña del negocio (y siempre el cabrón del dinero y los que hacen negocio de esto y que con esa "filosofía" tanto se les dá un flush bien echo, un secado como mandan las reglas o el curado de primera, para que el humo sea un "culto" y si unos pocos les dá la gana...para mi, esa cosa de ganarme la vida con esto, nones lo mío...y lo mío si es que cuando me fumo unos con los amigos, todos disfrutemos y que la gente me diga "anda!!! que esta es de las mejores que he fumado en la vida" y eso sí, es ganarme la vida...ganarme el gusto de perfeccionarme a cada grow, a cada variable nueva que introduzco en mis cosechas, a cada experimento que me trae conocimiento y buen hacer, a cada cepa que logró sacarle el mejor rendimiento no solo en gramos, pero mucho en sabor y en aroma. Joder...que esto de la "plantita mágica" es de las cosas más bellas y que más te recompensan en la vida y como os digo...mi "zen" en esto del "grow" no está en el humo y en lo "colocado" que me pueda dejar...lo que me deja, en verdad, "colocado" me quedo por lo que me relaja esto de la botánica y del amor, cariño y dedicación diaria al "grow". Sobre la "enana" ...la Critical Jack Herer... pues pese a una genética muy incompleta (y por que como ya os he dicho, que trifolios "ruderalis" incluso en la floración, lo que deja entender que Delicious Seeds mucho tendrá que trabajar en estabilizar esta cepa) camina también para su final...una cosecha mucho más pequeña en cantidad, pero por su olor y resina en sus cogollos más modestos y menos exuberantes en los colores, promete al menos, una hierba que "pongo mis fichas a juego sin limites" en la calidad que tendrá. Haré el flush el viernes y será un flush más específico, pues no pretendo darle un corrido de água alocado y si usaré el producto Canna Flush, pues también hay que aprovechar el sustrato que es de calidad superior y si el corrido de un montón de agua tiende a lavar los fungos y bactérias benéficas del suelo, con el Canna Flush se logra limpiar el exceso de nutrientes sin con ello hacer que el agua se lleve también lo bueno que hemos integrado en el sustrato a lo largo del "grow". Otra de las cosas que siempre contribuye a que tengamos un sustrato que después del flush nos sirva cara al futuro, es no solo el uso de las micorrizas que para mí son obligatorias, bien como el uso de "enhacers" enzimáticos que en mucho tienen la tremenda misión de convertir excesos de N-P-K en metabolitos de azúcares y coloides que las plantas absorben, sin que con ello, el humo quede agresivo en su paso por la garganta. Así...en los próximos diez días, tendremos terminada la temporada de otoño. Haremos el pesado de la cantidad, haremos los registos en la bitácora sobre lo que ha ido bien y menos bien y empezaremos a programar para mediados/finales de enero, el comienzo de la temporada Primavera 2023. Ya tenemos la "comida" de la próxima temporada y tendremos orgánico con calidad...tendremos más dos TLED 26 w, estos de 6500K para Crecimiento y tendremos ya la configuración LED completa que he diseñado en mi mente, que será el LED central de 192W, y sobre cada esquina del armario de "grow" alternados TLEDs de 26W, unos de Crecimiento y otros de Floración... Y "colorín, colorado, este grow se ha terminado..." Hasta la vista con fé y sabiduría y confianza infinita en el Dios Jah, sembrando la semilla de la concordia y paz entre Hombres y dándonos la gracia de la más hermosa planta del mundo... Fuí...ONE LOVE

21.07.2025 Defoliation, Lollypopping, and LST/HST. 25.07.2025 The strechy pheno on the right side has some problems. I think I've overwaterd her a little. But she is already the looser in this grow. Even though she is the most mature yet. The short pheno in the middle is doing alright. But the pheno on the left side is a real beaty. And she smells so much more than the other two!

All good flowers are coming along nicely and getting thicker. 500ml water per day 12/12, fertilization happens on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the mix above. All good so far I just keep removing the bottom leaves that are yellowish. Fruit Tree will be the quickest to be harvested all of them are nicely maturing needs some more time. Some more weeks and we will see.

The ladies have rebounded very nicely. They are filling in the scrog nicely. Did a lot of tucking and bending of tops and leaves this week. The stretch during flower for these ladies is real. Even with the bending and tucking, the girls have easily gained 4 inches this week as well as quite a bit of girth as they bushes out. Temps have been good and RH has been steady between 55-60%. I have good airflow all around and don’t worry too much about it he higher RH at this point in the grow. I’m e seen some incredible phenos of this strain, and can’t wait to see what I’ll get! Happy Gardening Growmie’s 🇨🇦👊❤️

Both plants grew very differently. The organic grew like a normal indica based plant. Decent sized main cola that was surrounded by shorter side nodes that still had some pretty sized buds. She had an overall lovely structure. Took to LST like a champ. And was 1 of my most trouble free auto grows to date. She's a beginners delight. Her bounty was 69g on harvesting. And 3g in test I took last week. She grew to 58cm. Vegged out at 25 days, and took another 50 to flower. As I kept a steady temperature throughout their entire life(s), (especially pre flower) there was no unwanted stretching in all my plants. She was very compact allowing the light to reach every part of the plant, done some light lollipoppoing during and before pre flower, not much, as there was no need. She took a lovely natural shape, and with LST. It allowed me to put all buds into the light. And she gave me some seriously lovely bud. I've no doubt when I run them again in coco I'll get a much bigger yield. But 10☆ all the way. The Synthetic. She grew totally differently, she acted as though she was topped and grew all nodes pretty much the same size. Wasn't as dense as the organic but there was a lot of the bud was pretty much the same size buds. She never really grew beyond 42cm. She picked up a pigment mutation and was a little more demanding feeding this girl on Synthetic nutrients. Whereas the organic was apply powder twice to soil and then bioenhancer feeds (every 2 weeks). But, every week she got a low ppm feed never exceeding 700ppm (the Synthetic). Learning to grow more with less nutrients.. gave no trouble really. Had no hard defs/toxs..picked up what I thought was early fade during flowering, just turned out to be wanting a little bit more P and she settled down. Again, Took to LST really well. And was no trouble. Really easier growers, both girls. ROUND UP OF BOTH PHENOS (Organic Synthetic) Both girls, may have differed in the way they grew. But, if you put both strains together, as they are, (uncured) there is no way I'd be able to tell the difference if I done a blind taste/smell test. Both girls gave roughly 115g in 75 days. They both have deep long orange pistils with very tight buds that are packed with flavours galore, and very sticky and stinky. Mainly berries (blackcurrant) at the moment has a grip on them with hints of pine with a citrus undertone. We will see if their profile changes much with a nice long cure. I should have a smoke report in before contest closes to give a true measure of these ladies. Shows how solid and steady these phenos are, as they are so closely in smell, taste and so on. Is a testament of good genes and Dutchs hard work to make all phenos more or less be similar. So, any beginner would have a very good experience growing these type of auto. Can't wait to try more from Dutch-Passion. And, you can get the same results, or near the same tasres/smells and big quality. EQUIPMENT USED. I used a 100w mainly to do these girls. I was swapping around in their early stages of life, trying to give them a higher ppfd. But, been hit with fungus gnats hampered me, by doing this. So, sadly they were only given a 100w mainly for most of their flowering life. They did get a dose of my FC 3000 from marshydro but, not enough time under it to do anything substantial. But, I'm sure it did have some impact on these. As most of my autos came out a little airy whereas these 2 phenos are nice and dense. The Synthetic was dry after 7 days. The organic took a day longer to be fully dry. Everything has been put to the cure. And smoke reports will soon follow with pictures of cured bud.

🌿Week 4: Defoliation & SCROG Setup Week 4 was all about structure and airflow. The canopy was getting bushy fast, with a ton of inner growth, so we went in for a solid defoliation session across the board. Lower fans, overlapping leaves, and shaded internodes were cleaned up to let light penetrate deeper into the canopy and reduce potential humidity traps. Right after that, we finally dropped the SCROG net, stretched out gently across the canopy to guide the branches horizontally and prep for flower stacking. Some of these phenos are already reaching for the sky, so the timing felt just right. Captured a full-time-lapse clip of the defoliation + netting process. It’s super satisfying watching the chaos turn into clean lines. Nature meets intention. Feed Bloom since 20/6 22/6 Defoliation 🌱 Plant Response: After defol, they bounced back fast. Tops are perky, leaves are praying, and stretch is continuing in a controlled way. The structure’s more open now — better airflow, better light distribution, better everything.

day 5 flowering, i did some LST with rope they look healthy also transplated one into a 20L pot 2 days before they went into flowering, with soil wich has 3month fertilizer in it see how that turns out. the one in the 12L pot has thicker branches so harder to bend so im not taking too much risks on that one. they stretched a bit every day and start to go into the pre flowering stage in a week or 2 the flowers will start pop up from everywhere O.o see you next week

Going into flowering is always a special moment and we prepare to do it in the best way to make the plant understand that it is time to become a woman and speed up the start of the formation of the buds. We start with 24 hours of darkness this to give a strong break and sign of change to the plant that understands the change of time and prepares to go into flowering. Our Purple Urkle was worked with a topping x16 buds that worked really well, we have well aligned buds, only something escapes here and there but it is normal. In purple plants it is very interesting to wait for the start of the flower formation when the buds reveal their color and if we have taken the dark phenoripo, we celebrate. Another thing that gives the plant the signal of the start of flowering are the flowering stimulators we friends of Plagron use Power Buds. The start of the flowering program includes the same additives as the vegetative phase Power Roots, Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and adds the flowering stimulant Power Buds. Now the basic fertilizer is Alga Bloom specific for flowering. Green Sensation will arrive as the hero of the end of flowering and at the same time it will be time to remove Power Roots and a week later the Pure Zym enzymes. It is recommended from the 4th week if the plants flower fast I start at the 3rd depending on the size of the bud. Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11168-zamnesia-seeds-purple-urkle.html Zamnesia Description // A direct descendant of a Mendocino Purps phenotype, Purple Urkle is a high-performance cultivar from Zamnesia Seeds.

love this strain. It survived 2 weeks of cold and rain late flower without any mildew or mold. all my other strains got PM that week. I expected the yield to be a little bigger but can't complain. amazing, smooth high.

Not really much to say this week all 10 are growing fine with no problems at all I Will keep removing the larger fan leaves as I go along, I do this in order to try and get as much light to the bottom branches as I can before I switch them to 12/12. This will hopefully keep the canopy as even as it can be without having to do to much training or topping. Day 34 - Looking abit skinny and after the defoliation, but had to remove the middle growth and large fan leaves to get light to them bottom branches and new growth tips. I’m aiming to keep them small and bushy
