She was transplanted into a 9L airpot, and has a brand new canopy ring. This will help me to control the monster for the next weeks of veg. She really likes the QuantumBoards. Stay tuned folks!

July 29, 2024 So I was going to wait to harvest at the end of this week, but a friend of mine said I should harvest now. I agreed after looking closely at the trichomes. Sour Diesel A weighed in at 20.5 Oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel B weighed in at 19 Oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel C weighed in at 23.5 oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel D weighed in at 18 Oz wet weight. Partial wet trim. The cola is solid, so I couldn't access a lot of the stems from the fan leaves. It'll be a pain to trim I think. The environment should be around 65° and the humidity just below 60%. I'll strive to keep it that way. I shouldn't have a problem with the humidity still being high in my room. I'll be back in 10 to 14 days with a final yield and smoke review. July 30, 2024 Quick update with estimates. The environment in the tent is off by a lot today. I'll have to open the tent once or twice a day to let the super high humidity out. I hate my portable AC. So based on the 81 Oz wet weight and my previous runs, the weight retention after trimming should be around 13%. That should be a total of around 10 oz. It may be a tiny bit more or less. With Sour Diesel D being partially wet trimmed and being so dense, it might increase the total dry weight a little bit. But it could be as low as 8 Oz. We shall see. July 31, 2024 You know, it really sucks when the humidity still spikes and now the tent is too warm. However, as I'm writing this, the central air kicked on. This should fix it all, but I'm still running into super high humidity at night and in the morning while the AC is off. I really hope this doesn't mess up the final product. August 2, 2024 Day 4 of drying. Everything looks good so far. The humidity is still way too high and I'm thinking I should've wet trimmed just because the humidity is so high. Too late now. Anyway, I'm monitoring closely. The exhaust fan is maxed out to help keep air flow constant. That way there's less chance of mold and mildew. I also have both oscillating running below the plants with a small dehumidifier in the middle. It's not keeping the humidity down to a reasonable level, but it IS keeping it lower than it would be. With the fans running, it's evenly leveled out through the tent. The only issue is the temp. It's a bit on the warm side. I'd like it to be at 65°. Currently it's hovering between 69° and 70°. August 4, 2024 Day 6 of drying and these ladies are taking their time. Unfortunately it's because of the super high humidity we ran into the day I harvested. So I'm fighting with 71% humidity in my bedroom. It's crazy. The portable AC is doing absolutely nothing except keeping the temp below 70°. That's good, but it's not good enough. Oh well. I'll just keep opening the tent up with the bedroom light set to green to ensure they air out and let fresh humidity in. Lol. I'll keep checking in until they are done drying. August 6, 2024 Quick update. These ladies have been drying for 8 days now and they aren't ready yet. I'd say another 5 to 7 days. With the humidity being so bouncy, I feel like something will get messed up. It probably won't. I have the exhaust fan up and the oscillating fans going. Should be safe from mold and whatnot. But still. Currently, the temp is at 63° and the humidity at 60%. Hopefully it stays that way for the next few days. At least during the day. I have an idea for night time. It gets pretty humid at night. So I'll turn both dehumidifiers on when I go to bed and turn them off when the AC kicks on. That should technically keep the humidity down, but the temp may go up. However, I do run the portable AC at night to keep my room cool enough for the plants. That brings in a lot of humidity. Still no clue why, but it does. Anyway, the whole idea should work. I just have to remember to shut the dehumidifiers off when the central AC kicks on. August 8, 2024 We are at day 10 of drying. Still another few days left. So a good thing to note is the size of the buds. They didn't shrink all that much. To be honest, they look like they've only lost about 25% of their size. Not a bad thing in the slightest. Hopefully with that being the case, the yield will be even bigger than I calculated. I'd also like to make a correction with my original calculation. My average yield is 15% of wet weight. That being said, I should be looking at closer to 12 oz total. 81 oz. x .15= 12.15 oz. We shall see how close I am now. August 10, 2024 It's now day 12. These ladies are nearly done. I'd say another 2 to 3 days. Not much else today. Just a quick one. I weighed Sour Diesel D. She weighs 4 oz now. A 78% drop in weight. That being said, I think I can safely say this one will yield around 2 oz. Maybe a hint less. Which completely messed up my calculations. Now I don't know. I think I'll go back down to 8 to 10 oz. And if I get 12 oz, what happy surprise. I also made sure to check them for mold as I do every day. So far it looks great! No signs of anything unwanted. Just beautiful trichomes glistening in the light. Update: Sour Diesel A was the first to finish up. She had a perfect snap. Dry trimmed yield is 67 grams. 2.4 oz. Around what I thought I was gonna see. I'd say the rest will be trimmed over the next 2 to 3 days. August 12, 2024 What a couple weeks. We are talking like 14 days. At the end of it all, I ended up with 10.65 oz. Right around where I was thinking. Sour Diesel A 67 grams Sour Diesel B 78 grams Sour Diesel C 79 grams Sour Diesel D 77 grams. For a grand total of 302 grams. Weight retention 13.15%. almost exactly what I calculated. What's funny is that they are all roughly the same weight except for A. The plants were all different and still yielded roughly the same. C was the largest, while D was technically the smallest. All of the plants have solid buds. B has airy but hard buds. It's not perfect, but this plant had the most foxtails, so I'll have to remember there was some sort of issue. I'm thinking it was the heat stress. Must have been a pocket where the air didn't flow. I'll have to fix that next run. The smoke is fantastic. Super fire. Great high and lasts quite a while. 30 days of curing and then storage. I'll be using Grove Bags. August 15, 2024 Quick update and then some bad news. I fit each plant in its own 1/4 pound grove bag. They are now curing in a box. The average temp is around 68°. Humidity is perfect at 62% I haven't sampled each plant yet. Only A and B. I'll be sampling C and D next week. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this run. The yield was a bit lower than I was hoping for in the beginning, but it's still not too bad. Especially because I had some issues along the way. Now for the bad news. I'm losing my home in a couple months and won't be able to grow anything for a while. I have no idea how long it's going to be before I get a new home, and it could take up to 2 years given my situation. But I will be back when I'm able. Thanks for all the support and compliments. On a more positive note, I still have a good pound of weed to hopefully last me til I get a new home. I don't smoke a ton, so it'll last quite a while. Later my growmies.

Week from 10/07 to 16/07 Going smoothly, plant already feeling great in the new pot. I used sticks to make a star cross frame at the base so I can pull branches in every direction Now it’s a matter of letting everything grow and adjust the branches until around the 20th of August when it will start flowering

Okay so I’ve been slacking a bit on the grow-diaries, only because I’ve had a lot going on and also because I don’t feel obligated to do so because this isn’t a sponsored grow. It’s been nice to have a little break but I think I’m ready to come back at it full force again. These girls are living their best lives, they are all the same age and they are all thriving. Floraflex nutrients, as well as some Silica, Regina-root, and a trichome enhancer called “Grease”!! Seems like the real deal. Watering every other day and let me tell you these girls are very thirsty. Defol as needed! My new HLG Blackbird lamp fixture is out of this world. My 3 autos that you can also find in my profile absolutely blew up. I typically fit 4 autos in my 3x3 but now it’s essentially one Purple punch from Fastbuds and I had to cram 2 more inside basically because they are going crazy. Unfortunately I had to move them from under the blackbird and put them under a HLG350R and they are still going crazy. Basically what I’m saying is HLG Lamps=Crazy growth and amazing lamps!! HLG has a lifetime customer! That’s it for now but check in next week to see the progress! Thanks for tuning in. Until next time and as always, Stay Smokey my Friends!!! 💨💨💨 Instagram: Virginia_nugz_540 Sponsors: Horticulture Lighting Group HLG-Blackbird HLG-600RSpec HLG-350R Diablo (X2) Discount code: Virginia_Nugz Petra Tools LTPRO 2.0 Backpack Sprayer Trimbag Standard Trimbag Discount Code: Virginia_nugz Fastbuds Fastbuds Genetics Goat and Monkey Hydrokulture Store 4x4 Gorilla Tent

We are trying to survive the heat wave we have here at the moment. Hopefully an extra dose of silicone will aid a bit... Both plants look very well. The mainlined plant is slightly taller at 58 cm, while plant 1 measures 54 cm.

2/17/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I removed some of the water to see where the roots were only one had roots in the water. However I want to go ahead and get them on Week one Nutes So I am over 50 gallons of water in the system so I mixed the Trio at a 1.0mil per Gallon but restricted it to a top of 50 gallons period. I top fed the other two to keep encouraging root growth. I also finished my drying and curing from my last run and wanted to show what it looks like all bagged up and in the cannatrol. I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 37.5Mil FloraMicro = 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FloraGro= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FLoraBloom= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 2/18/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I top fed #1 and #3 since they still don't have roots in the water, I will continue one top feed a day until roots hit water. 2/19/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- #3 now has root in the water.. Yay!! I now have #2 and #3 with roots in the water so no top feed for them. I only had to top feed #1 and the only reason I didn't just go ahead and cull her today was I am responsible for breaking her tap root and stunting her, I wasn't careful enough and she was the first to show a good root. In that vain I will carry her a few more day's top feeding but if not root by the end of the week she is getting culled. 2/20/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water. I also removed the humidity shields from #2 and #3 today the ladies were touching the sides so they are done with the extra shields.. 2/21/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today Morning: I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, Evening: I decided that the roots of the two are looking great so I am going to drain and bump the Nutes to a full Week 1/ Week 2 Nute base. I added 36 Gallons I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil FloraGro= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil FLoraBloom= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil 2/22/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I Ensured the PH was not too high as the system continues to cycle the water and adjust, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, 2/23/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Still have to Top Feed #1 no roots in the water, however she is still progressing nicely slower than her sisters with roots in the water but still going strong.

Hey Growers, End of week 10 from seed Earlier in the week I began noticing an orange color on some leaf tips, I probably overfed them nutrients so I fed them just water with a ph of 6.0 on the following feeding schedule and the leaves are looking better now. Last week a weird smell was coming out from the colas, its slowly changing. Its now starting to smell like 🍃 🍋 ⛽️ Noticed a small Increase in orange pistils I want to increase light intensity but I am worried the red stems on the top of the plant will get worst and then affect the whole plant. Only the top part of the plant has some red stems, the rest are all green. QUESTIONS How close am I from Harvesting? When should I begin flushing?

Week 6ix behind All week been struggling to solve the “mystery of yellow top” And “the mystery of not flowering autos” Since both coco plants are not flowering in the same manner i ruled-out the possibility of them being genetically photos instead of autos. The possibility that i’d get 2 different strains to be with such a rare deviation is atomically small. For now have developed a plan and then decided to go a little sideways. First, reducing the EC to 1.3 stable instead of trying to push the plants to the limit. This means a little less that 1/2 of the recommended dosage by the producer. Second, going heavier on cal-mag Keep mimosa fed every day as she seems to devour everything and sit in a light pot. Another thought is iron deficiency but will see in due time if reducing EC and changing watering schedule doesnt help will go and find an iron supplement. And finally, if they dont flower i will switch them to 12/12 but this is last resort, i dont beleive they are photos. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and beating your powerful minds with me to find a solution. Special thanks to @growinggrannie Stay tuned

Week 8: Water and wait This Lady is SUCH a blast to watch!!!! Her giant colas and sugary orange nugs just sparkle with resin. The structure is GREAT for avoiding bud rot which would be my major concern here. She has been flushing for a week. I assume she has 1 or 2 more in her. Really excited to write this smoke report.
