finishing week 3 of stretch. Plants started to look pale, unclear if it was leaving the rez on too much vs. just hungry for higher EC. Towards end of week pulled them out of the trays and put drip trays in to give them a top-feed with generous runoff + some recharge. Pics of that are more in next week's photos.

I'm lucky to have uploaded anything. I'll finish later. Hurricane is coming The date is 9/14 and i was FINALLY able to start a new week. I had to use the option to "take a photo" with my camera as opposed to uploading the pictures I have. I guess in the future I'll have to prepare pictures ahead of time. Or like stage them lol. Took the top half of the biggest 10th planet. It was done. The others I took the tops on have the bottoms already coming through the trellis nets with huge swollen buds. They were tiny before. I made the right choice. If need be I'll move plants into my garage. Heavy equipment fit in there. Can't move the 8ft "big cheese" in the 50 thats even wider than it is tall but I can move the ones I care about. I spent all day wet trimming those tops and taking down the dry stuff bucking and jarring buds and hanging up fresh stuff. One purple punch plant I just keep cutting bud rot off. I took a tester and it's not where i want it yet. It's bigger than the others but seems further behind in flower with less trichs? Hurricane has been downgraded to tropical storm and 90mph winds down to 50 which is manageable. I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket so this worked out amazing. Blue cheese just isn't ready yet. I mean it's huge but it's not done. It doesn't rot either. Knock on wood. The buds aren't as compact as these heavy indicas but "look" larger. Tomorrow I'll go back over (before the storm) and if that purple punch keeps just rotting I'm gonna chop it and maybe put it in with shit I'm gonna blast. As long as this Hurricane doesn't totally fuck me I'm gonna have my best year ever. I hope it misses. To everyone dealing with Hurricane Lee you are all in my thoughts and prayers. 9/15 Woke up sick as fuck. Hurricane is tonight. I've got some decisions to make. I need to chop one purple punch as it just keeps rotting more. Blueberry cheese is only a 7-8 week flower and says it's done end of September. I've been flowering WAAAAY longer and the buds are HUUUUGE. I need to look at it with the trich scope. I'm not worried about rot with those girls just heavy wet buds and branch3s snapping. The little purple punch and MAYBE one of the blue cheeses will go in the garage just to be safe. I think it's going to miss us. Or at least be downgraded and be a normal atorm like the ines ive already been through. Pretty sure the little purple punch is done anyway. The buds are rock hard. I could probably throw one through the window. It's been cold the last few days. More sun today before the hurricane. Now the question is do i want to get 3lbs of wet flower ready and transported the extractor or do I away until after the hurricane? I guess I'll make that determination after I go back and look things over. I'll remember to take pictures this time. It's the only way they will upload. Oh and I need better storage. I can't use 10 million jars. I'm getting some of the 5 gallon buckets that turn the bucket into a storage container. UPDATE: Storm has been downgraded. Apparently the rain will only be like an inch. I worked my nuts off today. That purple punch plant had way more rot. I harvested the tops off the purple punch that was rotting. Had to throw away a bunch but it wouldn't have made it through this storm. The purple punch in the ten has rock hard nugs. This morning I was checking it out and pulling buds away from the stalk on the huge colas and put of nowhere here comes a GIANT bumblebee stumbling out. I have no idea how he got that deep. I tried to help him. I got him on a different leaf (buds are super sticky) bur his leg was cockeyed and he eventually fell. I harvested most of the other 10th planet's too. I took ONE blue cheese bud. This strain doesn't seem to rot and the plants only need a couple weeks to be ideal. The MAY be ideal now and I'm just stupid. They are very large and only have a 7-8 week flower time that says outdoor they will finish be end of September. These are half my crop. I still nay bring in the 10 (purple punch) and o e of the blueberry cheese but I'm tired as fuck. If we just get an inch of rain I think tje plants will be fine. I staked everything that isn't vertically trellises. I still don't like the rain. An inchbof rain on buds bigger than a baseball bat isn't good. 9/16 Spent yesterday harvesting the tips of a purple punch and adding supports for the hurricane. Found a shit ton of budrot. Three separate times I separated it and found the bud worm. All tiny. A green one came out kind of aggressively at me. Anything that was close to any rot got discarded. These were some HUGE compact flowers. Had to add to supports this morning and it's still raining as of 1pm. The plants were going right sideways (or trying). It's 30mph sustained with 50mph gusts. We are pretty much over it though and as of a few hours ago I had no breakages (knock on wood) so I think in doing pretty good. Trichs on blue cheese looks great and tge buds are huge but the calyxs haven't changed from white. I took one blue cheese cola before the storm just in case something happened. It's an 7-8 week flowering strain and says it will be ready end of September. I couldve taken it but it looks like it needs a little more time and im gonna do my best to give it to her. The buds are big and frosty though. That strain is going to be a good producer. If it's made it through the weather last night then it can withstand the remnants. UPDATE: HOLY OL FUCK. RAIN STARTED COMING DOWN TODAY ALONG WITH THE 50MPH SUSTAINED WINDS. THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO DIE DOWN AFTER TONIGHT AND WE'LL HAVE GOOD WEATHER. WENT OVER TO FIND MY 30 GAL TUB TIPPED OVER. LUCKILY A STRING SUPPORT CAUGHT IT AND IT FELL INTO THE 2X4 SO IT WAS HELD UP ALTHOUGH THE CONTAINER WAS BALANCING ON ITS EDGE. MY BLUE CHEESE IN THE BACK WAS RIGHT SIDEWAYS. THE RAIN LOOSENED THE MEDIUM WHICH MADE THE BAMBIO SUPPORTS ALL BUT USELESS. LUCKILY THESE ARE STRONG PLANTS. I RAN STRING FROM THE BAMBOO TO THE STRUCTURE ITSELF TO "SUPPORT THE SUPPORTS. I ALSO HAD T9 TIE UP WHAT WASNT TIED. I ADDED THREE HORIZONTAL STRINGS IN THE BACK TO HOLD SOME IF THE WEIGHT AND HELP WITH THE WIND. THE BLUE CHEESE IN FRONT OF THE TARP HAD SUPPERED THE SAME FATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO "SUPPORT THE SUPPORTS" AND "TIE UPANY LOOSE ENDS. THE BIG CHEESE JUST CANT GO ANYWHERE. ONLY PROBLEM IS THE TOP TWP FEET AND IM NOT GETTING ON A WET LADDER IN A HURRICANE WITH WIND AND RAIN LIKE THIS. GLAD I TOOK A NICE COLA from the blue cheese just on case anything happens. Honestly though they've been through the worst. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice. I hope I made the right decision. 9/17 Hurricane has passed and its sunny with blue skies. Plants were dry when I went over this morning. Couldn't upload pictures as the internet is out and I still can't upload pictures the normal way. It's too bad I've got some good ones. I lost one branch high up on the big bluecheese and found a little bit more rot on that purple punch I took the tops off. It looks like we are going to have great finishing weather! This is by far the best cannabis I've grown. I tied up EVERY branch yesterday and added a ton more supports. Last evening when we were getting the 2-4in of rain i got that "feeling". My intuition has been on point. I got there and everything without a vertical trellis was hanging almost sideways. The garden stakes I was using for supports just bent over with the rain and the 50mph wind gusts and the 30mph sustained wind. I had to "support the supports"by anchoring them to the structure of the cage itself. If I hadn't done this and propped them back up the would've been uprooted. Things couldn't loon better than they do right now. I'm wicked lucky. I'll try to take some pictures and upload them later today. UPDATE: SUPER HOT DAY. NOTICED THAT ONE OF MY BLUE CHEESE WAS STARTING TO ROT AND IT WAS DAMN CLOSE TO DONE. PLUS ITS GOING TO RAIN TOMORROW. I WAS PLANNING ON THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW BUT I GOT MOST OF HER DOWN AND HUNG. I COULD'VE TAKEN A PURPLE PUNCH BUT I NEED TO MAKE SOME ROOM. PLUS THEY COULD GO A "LITTLE BIT LONGER" BUT THEY ARE ROCK HARD NUGS THAT LOOK DONE. HONESTLY IF I HAD THE MAN POWER ONE OF THE PURPLE PUNCHES WOULD'VE COME DOWN TODAY. THOSE TWO ARE EASY TO MOVE THOUGH SO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING ILL PUT THEM INSIDE. THE OTHERS CAN MANAGE WITH NO SIGNS OF ROT. IM WORKING AS FAST AS I CAN BUT I NEED TO TAKE THINGS DOWN IN STAGES. TOO MUCH WORK NOT ENOUGH TIME. AT LEAST I GOT SOME STRAINS THAT HAD DIFFERENT FINISHING TIMES. LUCKILY THOSE 10TH PLANETS REVEGGED AND WENT TO FLOWER EARLY. I CANT BELIEVE THE QUALITY OF FLOWER IM SEEING THIS EARLY. SAME WITH THE PURPLE PUNCH. ONE PLANT IS FURTHER BEHIND THAN THE OTHERS AND IT HAS MUCH LARGER BUDS. THE PURPLE PUNCH BUDS ARE HARD AS A ROCK. I GUARANTEE I COULD PITCH ONE OF THOSE THROUGH A WINDOW AND I THROW LIKE A GIRL. 9/18 I should be starting a new week but I might just keep going on this one since i cant add pictures or video. All I can do is take pictures "through the site" if I have internet and remember. It's a pain to have to stop working and have to immediately upload things. Purple punch could be taken now. Im going to let it ride until I run into problems. The blueberry cheese is huge. I'm planning to make concentrated with a lot of it. 9/19 I'm going to have to switch to another site next grow. I can't upload pictures in any way shape or form anymore. Say nothing about videos. I'm gonna finish on here and do a detailed harvest report and smoke report. If I can't get the video uploaded I'll do it somewhere else. Anyway I have a bunch of tenth planet I've been trimming and jarring. After the hurricane we got another storm with 2-4 in of rain. I'm one of the only people i know that's "minimally effected". I lost a branch but it was still hanging so i grabbed it so i really lost nothing. I tried to visually inspect every bud this morning. Found some rot but most places I found it a worm came out. That's good. At least it's not the weather that's causing some rot. Not much. Maybe a handful and it was just starting but I cut everything away from the starting rot. I specifically picked early flowering strains and am certainly glad I did. A few more days of sun and when what's drying is done I'll do a finally check if the trichs andvthen it's fucking timber. This has been one if the WORST seasons for growing in Maine yet somehow I've pulled in one of the best harvests I ever had. Both quality and quantity. 9/20 I definitely need to start a new week but I need to be IN the garden to do it as that's the only way I can take a picture. I've sampled early versions of all my strains and I am incredible pleased. I still am in trim jail with a full room but still have well over half still outside. Plant wise more if i went by weight. It's weird that the plant with the shortest flowering time is seeming to take the longest to totally mature. I COULD take it as bud rot has been prevalent and many people have lost there whole crop. I did have to take one of the cheeses. We are supposed to be getting a few nice days of sun after all that rain. I'm at least giving them that. I have two phenomes of purple punch that could be taken as well. All milky with some amber. One other phenome had much larger buds and I was losing buds to budrot so I took the tops and allowed the bottom to mature. That method had worked well for me so far. Then I get buds that are more well rounded and mature. I went up and checked whats drying. The rest of the 10th planet is ready to be jarred. I've been making progress getting it processed and put away. I need the room so I can bring more in. Found ONE bud that started to rot whete I'm drying so I chucked it. I carefully checked everything hanging and the plants outside for any indications of botrytis. I found a few spots outside 2 or 3 and removed them. I have two plants that I think I'm just going to send to the lab for extracts. I'll add some smaller flower to it. I'll update more at some point. I'll try to get pictures up but it's such a pain in the ass to upload it immediately when I've got all this work to do myself. Come on grow diaries! OH AND I HEAR THAT SOME LOCALS HAVE FOUND MY DIARY. IF SO THEN YOU KNOW WHO I AM. IF YOU DONT ASK AROUND. IM STAYIMG IN THAT CAMPER OUT BACK OF MY GROW EVERY NIGHT AND THOSE PLANTS ARE NEVER LEFT UNSUPERVISED. THERE ARE MANY CAMERAS BUT THATS JUST SO WE'LL HAVE EVIDENCE OR IF IM TAKING A SHIT AND SOMEONE SHOWS UP ILL KNOW. YOU KNOW THERE'S THREE WAYS OUT. THE GROWERS UNION HERE HAS IT SET UP THAT IF ANY OF US HIT OUR "ALARM" BUTTON WE ALL GET IT AND ALL THOSE WAYS OUT GET SHUT DOWN. ITS GREAT TO HAVE GOOD NEIGHBORS. THERE'S NO PROBLEM IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY DIARY AND SEE HOW IVE DONE BUT IF SOMEONE IS EXPECTING ON "SUCCESSFULLY" ROBBING ME THEY SHOULD PROBABLY PICK AN EASIER TARGET. ALSO ITS A FELONY TO STEAL MEDICAL MARIJUANA. 9/21 Continueing with the great weather. In that vein I'm letting the girls ride. Blue cheese I'd an end of September strain anyway. It's huge. I'll take some pictures before it comes down if it will upload and I'll have to do it the hard way. My drying spot is large and full. I'm in trim jail and the majority is still in the ground. I'm giving them a few more weeks of good weather. I'm inspecting multiple times a day for rot. Things are going good. Don't know how I'll do harvest reports without pictures lol. UPDATE: HARVESTED A BLUE CHEESE TONIGHT AND IM TIRED AS HELL. CAMPER MIGHT NOT BE BACK TONIGHT BUT IF NOT I'LL BE IN THE GAME ROOM ON WATCH. IN TRIM JAIL. TOOK DOWN EVERYTHING BUT IT GOT IMMEDIATELY REPLACED. I REALLY NEEF SOME HELP. I CANT BELIEVE I CANT UPLOAD PICTURES. IM HOPING I CAN AT LEAST DO MY GROW AND SMOKE REPORTS. IF NOT ILL DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE 9/22 I got the two purple punches in the back down AND the BIG cheese hanging. That thing took up most of the room. I'm still tired. I've got two full Plants that are totally ready and I'm planning on taking them today and bringing right to the lab for extracts. 3 to 5 lbs will get blasted. I've got a lot of work ahead of me but I can get it done. I'm plugging away and making significant progress. I'm hoping pictures and videos will be a thing again. Everyone has said this was the WORST growing season (which it did suck) but I've had my best harvest in over a decade both quality and quantity. This has been my best year. I'll update what I got done. 9/25 I've been in trim jail and working my nuts off. I harvested my 10th planet's in stages three different times. Still have two bottom plants of blueberry cheese and two FULL plants that I was planning to go straight to extracts. Thing is is that one of them looks super greasy. It's always the ones you least expect that turn out the best. I've taken pictures/videos and am very proud of myself this year. However I can't finish my harvest report on here without leaving pictures!! If it doesn't rectify soon I may just do a YouTube video on the harvest and strain review. Or find a different site. This was a horrible year for most but it was one of my best ever. Thanks everyone for stopping by. I'll update what I do with the final two full plants and I'll try to complete harvest reports and smoke reports. It really sucks that I can't upload pictures. 10/1 Everything's in. Bags are ready for extracts and both quantity and quality are tge best I've done. BUT @GROWDIARIES I CAN'T UPLOAD MY PICTURES SO I CANT DO A SMOKE REVIEW! ILL TRY ONE MORE TIME TO USE THE "CAMERA" FUNCTION TO TAKE A PICTURE BUT THAT WASNT WORKING EITHER. WHAT A DISSAPPOINTING END TO THE SEASON

Sorry I couldn't get better pictures but I'll try again tomorrow. This strain certainly deserves it. Very low leaf to bud ratio on this plant. Dark pink or orange stigmas retracted into the buds as they finished and one pheno had the densest nugs I've ever grown. This year realky showed me the difference of quality seeds compared to "local" clones. After a rainstorm on the large fluffier pheno I found a "trapped" bumblebee inside one of the massive colas. I had to help it out. It was literally "stuck" due to the resin. This strain had the most pleasant aroma that stuck with the finished product. Due to the small amount of leaf to bud ratio this plant was a breeze to trim. That being said I still don't have it ALL manicured up but I'm working on it. All plants seemed fairly pest resistant as well. If you enjoy indica strains (90/10) with short flowering times than this should certainly be on your "to grow list." Having these plants totally finish before October was very helpful. According to many local growers (both patients and commercial growers) this was "the worst year for growing cannabis in memory." I've had the best year I've had in decades (probably ever) both quality and quantity wise.

This Strawberry Banana is really taking off!! She has a few rust spots so I flushed last night and just fed her some cal-mag, well see how she does. Her buds are really really starting to stack up.

I rated this with top marks for a reason. Two pheno's were topped and fimmed while I left one to grow naturally to get a sense for the plants structure. I'll try to convert some pictures and upload them. This is the darkest smelliest most potent cannabis ive ever grown. I believe I have a new favorite strain. Having been able to selectively harvest two of the plants worked out amazing. After harvesting the nice milky tops, the smaller buds that I left were able to continue growing up through the horizontal trellis and gave me another FULL harvest! Plus I was able to take the late little buds around the size of a quarter (that were all purple with amber trichs) and I was able to harvest AGAIN for the 3rd time and froze a couple lbs wet to make extracts with. This strain was extremely resilient and I don't think I had one spot of botrytis. After harvesting the last two girls (for the third time lol) I noticed they got some powder mildew. That's okay though it was just stuff I wasn't expecting anyway and it went in the freezer. Strain came out just as advertised. Lime green flowers with bright red stigmas that retracted into the flower as it finished. One pheno turned purple towards the end of the season. Very low leaf to bud ratio with this strain. This was one of the worst seasons for growing cannabis but this strain excelled despite the 50 degree temperature swings, weeks of rain, hurricanes and 50mph winds. Not only that, they aren't kidding when they advertise this strain upward of 30% thc. I'll save the effects for the smoke report but this is certainly the STRONGEST cannabis i have ever grown. I am so proud of myself for growing cannabis of this quality. Quantity got me 18 jars and about a quarter of a tote. I'll save the rest for the smoke review. And I'll finish this later. After having had time to cure this strain only seemed to increase in potency. I saved a few lbs wet to freeze and extract. I kind of messed this run up. It still turned out 🔥. I'm used to working with dry material or trim. I think I pushed to hard when I tried to "wick" water away from the hash on the 25u square, I don't think I waited for it to dry long enough end then I didn't let the resin cool before I tried to separate the turkey bags. I left my anxiety meds at my father's and end up ripping the cellophane in 3 pieces. I ended up driving to get my meds with my hands looking like I stuck them in a peanut butter jar. When I made it back the material had cooled. I managed to scrap a ball off my hands. I was then able to dab up almost 100% of the resin! It came ripping up making a loud nose and I'd think I ripped it again. That being said I did lose a little on my hands and equipment. You live and learn I guess. Dry and wet are totally different. However this hash smells JUST LIKE the jars of cured weed. And like I previously said; "If I could design a strain specifically for me, this would probably be it."

There were two different phenotypes of this strain. One grew extremely large fluffy (medium dense) buds with a large amount of leaf. The yield was amazing. I don't weigh my weed but one plant filled a 5 gallon bucket. It was over 8ft tall and damb near as wide. This strain thrived through hurricanes, regular 50 temp swings and 50mph winds. Despite the horrible season this strain appeared to be mold proof. The other pheno grew tall and more sativa like with EXTREMELY dense buds with lots of calyxs. I don't have pictures of the other pheno as it's drying and I have to "take the picture for it to upload." OH and liquid kool bloom worked amazing.

The plant got very little care this week as I was away for work. I installed a automated drip system 2 wewks prior and it had been working a treat...until I leave that is as I suspect after the first one or two scheduled waters the timer flipped out and reset itself🤬 I have no idea why. Eitherway the plant got no water at all for 4 days., about 1.1 litres to be precise, well under 1 days requirement . As I have a remote cam setup I could see what was going on, I could see the plant suffering from underwatering but I could do nothing about it. And as this like all my grows are stealth grows because of the kids and wife I couldn't exactly have mates drop by to do🤣 Super painful it was to watch anyhow, captured for my suffering in the video. All ended well after a feed and everything is back on track. Maybe the plant thrived from the brief period of underwatering as the growth was crazy immediately after. As far as temps were concerned this week, there were 2 hot days where internal tent temperatures would've reached 30+ and cold nights just over zero. Honestly I've given up monitoring as there's nothing I can do about the heat when growing in a tin garden shed and when cold the bar heaters easily increase the temp by close to 15c from what it is outside. Good news is the cold days out numbered the warm and helped alot especially with the lack of watering. Thank you gunja gods 🙏 A beast this thing has become! Way bigger than I hoped for, way bigger than I need but I'll accept it's offerings eitherway when the time is right.

Week 6 going smooth starting to get more complex smell, I have a fruity mint pheno of the biscotti mintz, the larger one on the left with the pink pistils, and the one on the right is all kush, the bubbas smell great too, super dense kush bud structure, the one in The front is all earthy kush, the back right one is a fruity gas almost like runtz, and the one in the back left smells like a pineapple gas, I had a video of the bcc but it won't let me upload it for some reason
