The buds are swelling with the combo of Fox Farms Grow Big & Tiger Bloom. No signs of over feeding...full moon is 4 days away so we are getting some heavenly rain which would contribute to the budswell...her next feeding would be some molasses.

recently discovered she is an auto aswell, so whats gonna have to happen is, this lil lady and the northern lights are gonna go outside when my criticals come in and start taking up room and then im gonna switch, itll allow the other indicas which are bushy as hell to get some bigness on get them and criticals mature enough to veg. these AUtos the shortstuff and the Northern lights will do good getting the light from indoors till they need to be thrown outside where we got 16 hours plus of good light and some smashing conditions

Started some LST early in the week for the slightly older plant, then later in the week with the other two. I was going to let them go Christmas tree style, but I can tell already they will out stretch the others. Ended up just bending the top and tying with pant ties. This should promote some busier plants. Still figuring out the Correct Cronk Dosage, it’s pretty strong stuff, just trying to find the balance. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

This week I have seen a lot of explosive growth in terms of height and shape! I was reluctant to beg from 6 weeks as I thought there wasn’t enough growth but they started to absolutely guzzle feed and respond well to everything I had done. Really happy with how they’re growing for now apart from the few issues I have had to say this is the first photoperiod strain I have grown and trained in really impressed. Humidity issues are still present but I’ve managed to maintain about 40% which is acceptable with temperatures bang on! I can see bud sites appearing everywhere and the defoliation technique really seemed to have worked. I will defoliate again before I flip to flower... Excited to keep growing!!

In the ninth week i keep applying 4ml of Sensi Bloom A and Sensi Bloom B and 2ml of Bud Candy, Overdrive and B-52 from Andvanced Nutrients per 1l of water. I keep the LST training. I also did a little defoliation in the middle again. I am watering 2L or 3L of water every 2 days. I'm struggling to reduce the humidity inside the grow, I turned on a dehumidifier to help control the environment.

It's amazing how quickly the weather can change. Just a few weeks ago we were bundled up in our warmest coats, and now it's finally starting to feel like springtime. With temps in the 40s and 50s, it's the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. My pound cake plant is finally getting somewhere. It's totally weird, because the stems turned this super cool purple color. Soon it's going to be covered in pound cake buds that'll be ready to eat. I'm thinking fancy frosting might be the way to go, but I'm also considering something fruity on top.

End of week 5 from sprout and end of the 4rd week of veg. Absolute fire! One of the most worry free vegetations in my career. After I was having few runs with only cuts, it's been an eye opening experience now to pop these regular seeds of BIG BLOCK, bred by Cannabis Brothers. Today we mark the first day of 12/12 light schedule but as you can see plants went through some HST (high stress training). 5 days ago, that was on day 30 from sprout, I performed topping and putting them into preservation for future if we see that one of those 9 plants turned out to be a "keeper". Canopy looks hella good at this stage but now when I flipped them, some might and probably will turn out to be a male specimen. We don't want males so I will have to remove them and the resulting canopy might look completely different 3 weeks from now. Let's see how it goes 🤞

All I can say is wow for my first time growing one of their strains from start to finish it was an amazing experience .. The team at divine seeds have me the opportunity to try out some of their strains from the best cataloged seed collection they have . The fist thing I would say was the germination was fast from about 6 hours Into the soak in ph 6.5 water they were sprouting a root allready from the shell . One of the fastest to root I have ever seen in a auto flower was this #moonrockauto by divine seeds . From start to finish this strain has proven to be a fighter no matter what I threw at it as a young grower . I tried to honestly not use to much nutrients with this grow I wanted to see just what the plant could do and take with stresses . The first week was indoors and then I transplanted her outdoors I to garden soil with some promix as well .. This was when I added some mycorrhizae to the root zone and gave her a good watering .. I also used extensively every two or three weeks the miicrobial mass to help stimulate good bacteria in the soil .. week 4-7 she was just exploding with new growth both upwards and horizontally .. The plant had more internode gap distance then I would like at times but it was also lacking a full sunlight location so that doesn't surprise me . The buds were forming around the same time weeks 4 and up with the whole process just flying by . I wish that I had been able to put her into a bigger pot and more open space because she had the potential to be a monster of a plant . This plant would have been a heavy feeder and the amount of dense buds I could have gotten would have been so much more then I got now .. looking forward to what I get to run from their company again they do have some awsome sounding and looking strains . There opium and CBD crosses sound good as well . There will be an up graded page next week with the dried buds and maby a little smoke report ..so I include a small smoke report to this page .. After being hung dry and left to burp in a ziplock bag the buds were dark green with small orange Hairs .. The smell is great I love it but because of the high humidity and rain I lost my top bud to bud rot and was not going to risk smoking anything that could harm me so that was lost . The smaller buds were fine and gave me an extremely big head high . It reminds me of a sativa high with a lot of anxiety . But it was a clean white ash with great taste and smooth smoke just a early day time smoke , this was made into butter as I enjoy eating this more so ..Divine seeds has some amazing strains can't wait to harvest and smoke Some more soon !!
