This plant already gives off an intense aroma of dark grapes and blueberries. Beneath the many brown pistils lies a solid, resinous bud.

D13 - BOOM! The new #1 had made her modest appearance. Only the top of the seed is visible so far, but it's a start. :) #2 is moving along nicely, quietly doing her thing. D14 - #1 is still shy and hasn't fully emerged yet, but she is at least poking up more than yesterday, so there's progress at least. #2 is doing great, and I like her structure. Short and stout with large leaves and very short internodal spacing. She is 7 cm tall but already 11 cm wide. I also cut back the cover crop as it was getting a bit wild and partly overshadowed the girls. Since starting the grow, I have yet to water the girls properly, but they did get a little bit a couple of days ago when I had some extra after watering nematodes (against fungus gnats) to our regular houseplants. Better to be proactive than reactive ;) D15 - I started a simple compost tea consisting of worm casting, rock dust, algal limestone, bentonite, biochar, and molasses. I'll leave it brewing overnight, and then it's watering/feeding time tomorrow. D17 - No idea what is going on with the first girl, but it sure isn't much. The seed has maybe emerged for another two millimeters from the soil, but that is it. The seed hasn't cracked, and no leaves are visible. Hell, I can hardly see the stem. Yesterday, I gave each girl about one liter of the compost tea that I started a couple of days ago. Let's see if that helps, although, at this point, I kind of doubt it. As always, I completely forgot to check the pH of the tea. I have no idea why I keep forgetting that with my teas when I have no problem checking the pH when I use plain water. Oh well. Not the end of the world but something I need to keep in mind for the next tea in a couple of weeks. The second girl looks great, though, so that's something at least. D20 - Alright, it is official. The third girl died as well. The seed never cracked, and the stem went limp. I have no idea why this happened, and now I'm out of Colorado Cookies seeds, so that's that. I have already planted another seed to see if the problem persists with another strain. I will make a separate diary for that one, though. On the positive side is that the remaining girl looks strong and healthy. She is now 9 cm tall and 18 cm wide on this last day in week two of veg. Upwards and onwards!

Impregnation complete, it's a little later than I would like to have seen it happen but I'll roast the plants for an extra week minimum to make up for it. The smell coming off these plants is hard to pinpoint at the moment I'll have to reassess as they grow larger and really start to stank up the place.. All in all a very good week!

Experiencing what seems to be my first nutrient lock out. Bought a soil ph tester from homdepo its reading 7.0 so that what bring me to that conclusion on top of the slower growing and the slight yellowing around the leaves. I was being cheap and using the liquid ph tester that comes with the ph up and down and im regretting now seeing my plants in not the best condition. Im ordering a better ph pen today i used the vivosun one the i currently have got the water to 5.8 checked the run off and its at 6.2 hopefully that helps. Saturday im going to top dress and water at 5.8 aging and im thinking that should put me back on track Any advice i could definitely use some tips and pointers

Ok this was my first grow and I made mistakes. -forgot to buffer coco - nutrient burn -started the manlining to early - probably worried to much about every stage these plants. -ended up with fungus gnats And probably appt more I can’t rmeber in the moment. But i learned so much from all of my mistakes and spent so much time researching and seeing in real time how these plants react and grow. I did do some experimentation just a normal top with one blue dream. I topped twice one another blue dream and did a 3 times topped on all the blue dreams and I see why you should at least top three times the eight main colas and spread out the plant I see some of the buds on the one I only topped once not matured at all because there was minimal light other buds were growing so fat it suffocated it basically. I could have probably defoliated and manliness better but ayy. Beginners wil make Mistakes and I’m happy with what came out of these girls. Not excited for trim hail but I am at the same time 😅😅

Definitely has a tangerine smell! Funny cuz my guy @schwaggy from (GD) growdiaries had jus mentioned the smell from one of his previous sugar puss strain grow which I was glad to hear cuz I haven't found a lot of info on this strain!.. but I start this update at Day 74 (April 4th) from seed but week 4 into flowering (every Tuesday is a new week into flowering) Fridays are counted from the seed pop but I do my updates on Saturdays. Day 78 jus picking and leafs that covering any bud sites smell definitely picking up oh by the way I did lie about the height last week my bad

El registro corresponden a los dias 28, 30 de abril y 2,3,4 de mayo Despues de realizar corte apical y algo de lst junto defoliación leve. Hasta ahora las plantas van muy bien, creciendo muy bonitas y con fuerza. Tratando de llevar todo de la mejor manera ya pude ajustar algo el set donde tengo mis planta y cada vez más contento con estos resultados! Ya hoy la white widow ibl cumple 30 dias desde germinada y la zinfandel 23.

Right then 7 weeks of flower complete. I'll dive right in to the juicy bits as this week has been predominantly about deciding weather to chop or keep one of my girls going. In the end I chose to do both! As the photos and videos show the plant wasn't recovering so I checked the trichomes and it was actually pretty ripe. A few Amber's on the upper buds. Lowers still undeveloped so I decided to take the biggest and leave the smallest for another week or while ever the plant is healthy. I estimate I've taken around 7oz once dry. Depending how they swell up I'm hoping for a further 5oz of solid bag worthy nugs. Looking nice and frosty, smell is that typical sweet haze with some sour diesel/fruit kick in there. You can see how the photos progress my hands getting covered in resin. Got to give my other 3 some love as they are getting healthier and fatter. I'm thinking another week on one of them and 2 on the others. I'll more than likely stagger the harvest like tonight if it proves worth while. I will update mid week.

01/21/2020 Got my Magic Beans, This will be the Blue Dreamatic -auto grow I have been doing research and hope i got it right. Seeds are courtesy of (42 Fast Buds) they are sponsoring this grow. So I think I will do a blend of soil 50% ocean forest potting mix will line the bottom of the 3gallon pot, top 50% will be Fox Farms potting mix(brown bag). My theory is that the stronger ocean forest, will be useful into flowering, and the humic acid, and mychorihza in the Brown bag should help the seedling stage and into veg cycle.also I'm gonna may be put in a little Plant Success 3-1-2 with Mychorihza, ecto, and endo, plus tricoderma.🙏 01/25/2020 11:00PM started to soak 1 Blue Dreamatic seed.🙏 01/26/2020 4:25PM Put seed in a Jiffy pellet till it sprouts once it sprouts I will put in final pot with a pinch of 3-1-2 below her roots at 1/4 " depth. 01/29/2020 She is starting to poke poke through the jiffy pellet should see her codytledons by end of the day,then move her to her permanent home.pics coming soon. 01/30/2020 And she is ☝️up, will pot her up today. Very excited about this one I love blue dream, I have not had any in quite a while I am not gonna pay retail price at dispensary to get it either. Day #1 week #1 let the fun begin!👊and Thank you Fast Buds,and Thank you Heather(Fast Buds rep)

Nov.8 - Watered girls 250mL each, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each plant Nov.9 - Moved these girls into Vivosun tent under Phlizon 1200w light from a Marz Hydro tent 5x5 with Marz Hydro ts 1000 light. We needed to move these girls to this tent and have our DWC in the bigger tent so the DWC plants don’t get too hot at the bottom *once girls were transported to new tent the leaves turned to curl and lift upwards, the light is on veg and is 24” high Nov.10 - Watered girls 250mL each, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each plant Nov.10 - Decided we don’t like the blurple light and took one of our Mars Hydro lights from our big tent and switched it Nov.11 - Watered each plant, 500mL, 1mL of each nutrient. Our girls drank soo fast so we are bumping it up a bit Nov.12 - Our girl #1’s leaves are a little droopy and are looking a bit weird in some spots (darker green and almost wrinkled). Our girl #2 though is going great and we started some LST training on her today. Let her growww Nov.14 - Started our girl #1 on LST her leaves are much happier now! Ohhh boy #2 is sprouting so nice she’s starting to fill out so well and she just blossomed once we started LST, she was facing upwards in less than 24h!! Nov.15 - Our girls are thriving so I wanted to FIM #2 and my boyfriend wanted to Top girl #1 Let’s see how these girls groooww Nov.15 - Watered each girl 250mL and 0.25 mL of each nutrient we are going to water them just enough to soak into the ground every day for them to soak up as much nutrients and drink as possible without over watering.

I did the flushing on Mimosa on day 88. I am now watching the trichomes to see around 30/40% amber to cut it down.

9/5 Beautiful weather. The smell is amazing. Much stronger than previous years. I watered everything 2 gallons yesterday with the exception of the 10 and the tub. Found a few moth larvae but I found many more lady bug larvae. Flowers are EXPLODING! I've got one pheno that I think will be done in two weeks. I'm close to the flowering time on that strain anyway amd I labeled flower late. I need to bring my loup and check trichs. Such an exciting time of year! Leaf blower started and I was able to blow off the entire garden. UPDATE: WENT OVER WITH THE TRICH SCOPE AND LOOKED AT THE 10TH PLANETS. VERY FROSTY! THEY HAVE SOME PLUMPING UP TO DO AND THE PISTLES NEED TO RETRACT A BIT MORE ON SOME OF THE FLOWERS. WE'RE GETTING CLOSE THOUGH. PISTLES ARE CHANGING IRANGE AND RED AND STRARTING TO RETRACT. BUDS ARE SWELLING (ON EVERYTHING). I DID NOTICE THAT THE PLANT WITH THOSE MARKINGS HAD SOME APHIDS ON IT. I HAVE A SHIT TON OF LADY BUGS/BEETLES AND THERE LARVAE. THEYVE BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB KEEPING THINGS IN CHECK. THAT AND MY CAGE IS BETWEEN TWO BIRD FEEDERS SO BIRDS ARE ALWAYS DARTING IN AND OUT SO I ASSUME THEYRE EATING SOMETHING. THIS IS BY FAR MY BEST YEAR SO FAR. PURPLE PUNCH HAS DENSE COLAS BIT LOTS OF PISTOLS STILL YELLOW REACHING UO TO FORM WHAT WILL BE MASSIVE COLAS. I THINK IM GOING TO HAVE TWO LITER COLA BOTTLE SIZED COLAS ON ONE PLANT. ILL BE SURPRISED IF I DIDNT. THERE ARE TWO PHENOMES OF THE BLUEBERRY CHEESE IT SEEMS. THREE ARE MUCH FURTHER ALONG THEN THE OTHER TWO. THOSE TOTHER TWO LOOK FAR MORE SATIVAISH. I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS! 9/6 Brought the trich scope over last night. Things are getting frosty and coming along quite nicely. The smell when I walk in the cage now is overwhelming. It's like getting hit in the face with a wet bud. I've been noticing more and more lady bug larvae. I noticed a bud worm and tried to find it again after I entered the cage and one if the large lady bug larvae was eating it! Debating whether or not to apply BT. Still have what looks like a calcium deficiency on that one plant but I lose less and less leaves each day. It soesnt have MANY more big fan leaves to keep dropping. Oh well. I'm keeping an eye on it and as long as it's not pests or fungal than whatever. That plant is flowering rapidly to catch up with her sisters. Since my return at growing cannabis I would say rhis has been my best yet. I am super proud with how things are going. If I can keep poo this up for another month I'll be golden. I plan to harvest the 10th planet's in stages (when ready). At least with the two up front and MAYBE the other. That way it would give a chance for the bottom that disnt get as much sun as the top to "catch up". I've do s rhis before with monster crops and it worked good. I plan on watering tonight. Leaves are turning yell8w and dieing on tje big cheese and the two purple punches in the back. I think that I've used most nutrients from my soil and what I'm putting back in isn't enough to cover their needs. When I fed the p.p. in the tub I could notice that it's leaves started greening right up. I'll check last feed and if I need to ill up the dosage. 10th planet doesn't really like a lot of nutes so I have to be careful. This is something lots have discovered. Exciting time! Had a stranger last night but nobody can get past the dog or the motion sensors or the cacophony of measures I've taken to secure my medicine. Not even sure it was a person but still. The fence is electrified at night so they can have fun trying. UPDATE: Sunny and like 85 all day. Went over around two and noticed a 10th planet slightly drooping. Everything was super light. I gave all the 20's 2 gallons the 30 on the grow bag got 2.5 the 30 in the tub got 1, the 10 got 1 and the 50 got 2. I then fed. Since the 10th planet's are a little further ahead I fed them a little different. I just removed the grow big since they are really green anyway and I also upped the liquid kool bloom to 1 tsp per gallon and fed a quart to everything. A little more for the 10th planet 30gal in the bag and the blueberry cheese in the fifty. The rest of the feed was the same as listed above. Seeing TONS of lady big larvae. Have to he careful when defoliating as I want them to stick around. 9/7 FED and watered yesterday. We've had some super hot weather lately. Hottest all summer. In the 80s-90s. Got a ladder and inspected buds. Found some bud rot on the purple punch. Sucks having to cut off the top of a cola but if I don't it will just spread. This purple punch still has long stigmas reaching up to form a solid cola on the branch. I know it's got a little ways to go. One of the 10th planet phenos on the other hand is looking close to done. Trichs are frosty and milky not much amber. Stigmas turned red and have retracted into the bud. I'm going to wait for this tester to dry and take it from there. We are supposed to get a few days of rain coming up. I don't want to risk all those beautiful ALMOST finished buds to bud rot. I may move it into the garage if we get a lot if rain. Let it have a few days of darkness. Or I could just open the door and it would still get sun and remain dry. This strain smells and looks SOOO good. I can't wait to try it. I'm going backbover to check all the tops. The blue cheese plants are HUGE! With HUGE buds. The trichs just aren't developed enough. It is super frosty but the flowers haven't taken on that swell. It's happening ob one plant and its looking like the colas will he like two liter soda bottles. The thing is that's an awful lot of room for mold. Oh well. That's how I grew them. One thing is for certain. After seeing what the pillars can do I can't rely on the lady bugs to get rid of them all. I'll be spraying BT tonight on everything but that early 10th planet phenome. UPDATE: INSTALLED MORE CAMS. I HAVE ONE 10TH PLANET THAT IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. REAL CLOSE. IM GOING TO SMOKE THE TESTER BUD FIRST BUT I THINK IM GOING TO HARVEST THE EARLY PHENOME IN PARTS. LOOKING AT THE WEATHER IT APPEARS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN. IF SO ILL TAKE THE TOP AND LET THE UNDER CANOPY DEVELOP MORE. ILL LEAVE THE OTHER TWO 10TH PLANETS THAT WERE MONSTER CROPPED AS THEY STILL HAVE SOME SWELLING TO DO. I LOOKED AT TRICHS WITH A JEWLERS LOUPE. I REALL MISS MY USB SCOPE. PURPLE PUNCH HAS THE BIGGEST FLOWERS BUT THE ARENY AS DEVELOPED. I NEED TO GET ANOTHER. ITS WORTJ EVERY PENNY. I GOT ON A LADDER AND CHECKED THE TOP COLAS FOR DAMAGE OR ROT. NOTHING SO FAR KNOCK ON WOOD. EACH PLANT HAS A UNIQUE SMELL BUT WHEN YOU ENTER THE GARDEN THE BLEND TOGETHER AND ITS LIKE GETTING HIT WITH A WET BUD IN TGE FACE. I SHOULD GO SPRAY EVERYTHING ELSE WITH BT TONIGHT. LADY BUGS CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. 9/8 Cut some bud rot off a 10th planet and a purple punch. Definitely from pillars. Doesn't hurt that it's been 90 with 90rh. Thunderstorms are coming and it's gonna rain a few days. Plants will need water I'm sure. I tried some of the purple punch bud I cut off (after I dug all the rot out) and it was good! That plant still has white stigmas as and can go a lot longer. Trich scope says the 10th planet's are done. I'm taking the tops off two before the rain starts. I'll leave the one that's a LITTLE further behind and see what comes of it. Even the more sativa dominant blue cheese plants are frosting up quit nicely. I haven't been able to put up videos as my phone has been full and it wouldn't let me even TAKE a video. I need to spray bt tonight. I went through the garden this morning and despite all the lady bugs I found two more bud worms. I think taking the stuff that's done off those two plants is the smart thing to do. I should take all three and just leave the bottoms but I'll just go with the two. I'll update later after I figure out what I'm going to do. UPDATE: TOOK MOST OF THE 10TH PLANET AS IT WAS DONE. I WOULD'VE TAKEN ONE OF THE OTHER 10TH PLANETS BUT IT TOOK WAAAY TO LONG. WATERED EVERYTHING 2 GALLONS EXCEPT 1 FOR THE 10 AND TuB AND 2.5 FOR MY 10TH P IN THE 30. ILL HAVE TO FINISH AND UPLOAD THIS SHIT LATER. I DID A VIDEO. 9/9 Most of one 10th planet is hanging. Big yield. Looking at the trichs I think Im going to take the other one that looks done. If i did id do the same thing. I did with the other. Take the tops and allow the bottom to develop a little more. Smoked the tester bud and was pleasantl u surprised. Im not using that for acsmoke report. Purple punch and blue cheese both need more time bit are swelling like crazy. Colas should be two liter bottles. Worried about bud rot with buds that big. Thos morning four birds were perched on my cage. I see them dart in and out grabbing a snack. I have let my 'leafing' and general upkeep slip. My wife has been sick and I've been in the hospital with her. So I need to defoliate some things and I'd like to chop that other 10th planet and leave the biggest one a little longer. This one i think has reached diminishing returns or damb close. I don't know if the video uploaded. Havent been doing many because my phone was full and it wouldn't even open the camera. I never said I wad tech savvy. I'll keep this updated. Fucking video keeps resizing but won't fully upload and I've got 5g right now so it must be the site. Been at the hospital all day with 5g and can't upload videos. It's the site. 9/10 Wife was rushed to emergency surgery. Was in hospital all day yesterday. Was able to take the top half of the krber 10th planet that was done. I need to water but it's 100% chance of rain. If i don't make it out dadxwill have to do it. Boy this strain is pungent. BUDS are getting way bigger and trichs are piling on. It's been a great finishing season so far. This will be one of my best years. I'll take more pictures qnd videos as soon as I'm not in an emergency situation. I tried uploading the video again but it loads and then won't resize. It's super annoying and I'm now unable to upload videos. Great. UPDATE: GOT HOME AT LIKE 8. NOW I REALLY NEED AN ATTORNEY. NINE HOURS AT THE ER. FOUR OUT OF 7 DAYS. I DEFOLIATED DEAD LEAVES BUT IM WAY BEHIND. IVE GOT SOME TRIMMIMG TO DO. IM GLAD I PULLED THAT 10TH PLANET TOPS OFF THOSE 2 PLANTS BEFORE THIS RAIN. THE TRICHSCARE AMBER. ITS SO STICKY BUGS WILL LAND AND CANT TAKE OFF LOL. ILL GET SOME PICTURES OF SOME STUFF DRIED TOMORROW. PICS UPLOAD VIDEOS WONT. THEY WONT RESIZE. 9/11 Finally got some rain yesterday. Still need to apply BT. I've found some rot and just removed the whole bud. Also seeing some septoria on one plant. It's everywhere though and I don't change my clothes like I should. Having been in the ER for 9hrs 4 out of 7 days my plants were neglected. I defoliated dead and dieing leaves. Still don't know what that deficiency on the one plant is but it's still there. Doesn't effect the flowers though. I watered everything a gallon today since it's "supposed to rain." I fed everything lightly with a powerase bottle. TRIED UPLOADING A BUNCH OF PICTURES BUT WHEN IT GETS TO RESIZE IT DISAPPEARS. I smoked my tester 10th planet bud and WOW. Everything I could ask for in a cannabis strain. I'll wait to do a smoke report after I smoke the fully finished product and the other plants come down but I am super impressed! Looking at it through a scope is amazing as well. After i smoked that joint i had my dab ready but i didnt want to change how i was feeling so I held off. Granted tolerance is down due to all the hosputal visits but normally very high. Once this site is fixed I'll upload some points of things dry. I have more work to do 9/12 I've tried adding pictures and videos probably 50 times and as soon as they get uploaded they won't resize so I can't start a new week. I'll try uploading them here. Nope. I'll use another platform if you guys can't fix this. This is my best year and I can't upload shit! Raining like hell. Watered and fec yesterday. Everything got a piwerade bottle. Got a new electric Milwaukee leaf blower. Defoliated what needed it and came over to soaked buds. Purple punchvis the only one experiencing botrytis and i just cur the whole thing off. The other purple punches dont have any rot. Boy this is the strongest smelling cannabis ive grown and i cant even put up a picture. Washed 36 quart jars amd a few bigger one. Im looking into getting the bucket conversion fir storage. As soon as tge site is fixed ill put up my pictures and videos. Rain is expected for a few days. My other tenth planet looks ficking done too. Its not getting bud rot so im going to leave it. Its fucking huge. I had to tie up even the secondary or tertiary branches on some plants. Still no breaks though. Vertical trellis literally saved the day. 9/13 This site must be down. I can't upload any pictures or videos. I can't even start a new week. They upload but then they 'fail to load' or some message. This is the most important part. Anyway I shook everything then used the new electric leaf blower. I'm getting some bud rot on the purple punch in the 20. The biggest one. With this rain and the pillars I'm having to cut off more everyday. Rain today but after this rain lmore stuff will be coming down. That 10th planet is done done. I need to wait for the rain to stop and I'll chop the tops off that monster cropped plant. The blueberry cheese will be the last one done but the flowers are huge and covered in crystals. The BIG cheese is going to be a huge yield. I wish I coukd show you guys. Once they get this fixed ill update. Everything is going good though despite this rain. We have a hurricane coming but I could literally take everything NOW amd still have a BANGING harvest. All I've taken is the top of two 10th planet's and it's already the best I've ever done. Some of that plant is left to see if it improves but thats doubtful. I need to keep am eye on that one plant and I'm gonna ride this shit out. The electric leafblower works great. Of and I found some manners in a bud I removed from a purple punch due to bud rot. These plants are close though. Very close. STILL UNABLE TO POST PICTURES OR VIDEOS AS OF 2:30 9/14 Apparently this problem uploading pictures and videos is not just me. Its universal. I defol8at3d what needed it and checked in between the buds of cola for rot. I FOUND A bumblebee STUCK inside a big putmrple punch cola. He had broken a leg it looked like though amd he ended up falling. Those huge purple punch buds are rotting more everyday with this rain. It's only effecting one plant though. We are suppised to be getting a hurricane coming through. My tenth planet is DONE DONE but that purple punch plant needs to come down. No problems with the other purple punches or 10th planet which has nugs just as tight. Blue cheese has even BIGGER buds (had to stake THEM ALL) but since they aren't as dense I'm not getting any bud rot. Colas are tye size of a baseball batvor bigger and there is a lot of them. Best year ive ever had. I hope this site fixes soon. This is tge strongest smelling cannabis I have ever grown. Realistically i should take the other 10th planet's before the hurricane. As soon as shit dries out I'll be taking some more stiff before the hurricane. Those blue cheese have been through hell and are very resilient. I'm gonna let them ride the hurricane out I think. So sad I can't share my pictures or videos. Orrrrr my harvest report. COME ON GROW DIARIES
