I didn't record the temps this week. I watered these about 3 gallons per pot per day. It was very cool this week. The high temp was averaging upper 50's F. Low temps were upper 30's lower 40's. Day 4 around 6 a.m. the temperature was 26°F and there was heavy frost on the ground. When I check on the plants about 7 a.m. they didn't have frost on them and were fine. These girls really did well. They didn't require and canopy maintenance. I topped way back and never had to tie up the branches or support in any kind of way. They were exposed to really strong wind that laid other plants over and bent branches that didn't recover. I'd recommend these for outdoors. The powdery mildew was manageable and the only maintenance these required. They did want to eat a lot and my wife was managing this by herself. I think we could have fed more and made bigger colas, but they did well regardless. The smell of these is special. They're very loud and have a watermelon note. 🤤🤤🤤

08.05. Week 1 Flower. Sadly I did not take any pics with my DSLR, so there are only the timelapse images. Not to worry as not too much happened either way. I'm still pretty screwed by the humidity but the dehumidifier starts to do it's job. VPD around 0.7 kPa. I also did some heavy defolitation for the start of flower and installed a trellis net.

Sooo both of them are healthy had do drop down a bit of the nutes because of some burned tips around the plants, but other then that they are doing good, they are starting the bulk up slowly, but I think about 4-5 more weeks and its chop time!

107 days!! Here is another great experience :) The girl has matured, 330 grams of wet, full of sticky, resinous shiny, pleasantly smelling flowers :) I think it will be about 90 dry :) although the girl is definitely not the biggest, but she looks great, the smell is also amazing :) I also got some sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash, For me personally it is really beautiful and good growth, which I think will definitely be confirmed by the dried and cured flowers :) there will be a smoke review, as well as the total dry weight. good luck to everyone :).

Week 2 of flower. Starting to see nice bud sites forming. Starting to incorporate molasses and bud booster.

Overall everything is doing great. The Critical+ has the most trichrome coverage so far, but the DinaMed CBD+ has the thickest and densest buds. The Cream & Cheese CBD+ is somewhere in the middle - medium trichome coverage, medium density. But the Cream & Cheese CBD+ is the bushiest with the most amount of sugar leaves down the stalks with the buds. The 3 Cherry CBD Hemp plants are doing great also. They are the smallest 3 plants in group, but starting to show some red hairs. I think I'm about a month away from harvest. I'm not going to rush it, but that's what my guess is for now. I transplanted my babies from dixie cups to larger nursery pots. There are a variety of seedlings and clones going. I'll start a new diary for these babies soon with details on which strains, etc...

Bueno chavales aquí os dejo a mis tres péqueñas ! Estamos a mediados de floriacion ! Estoy añadiendo las dos semanas aquí ya que no ha cambiado casi nada , hemos hecho un riego de base de floración a 2ml por litro ! La verdad que estamos muy contentos con los avances sobretodo de la runtz , su olor es espectacular comparadas a las otras y mira que es la más pequeña ! Sinceramente tal y como avanzan en la floración os recomiendo estas pedazo de semillas

Day 64.. Just truckin along.. Noticed some nute burn on the leaf tips.. So im going back down to 1000ppm.. Plus the runoff was coming out at like 1700ppm at times.. Even after feed, water, water.. Maybe its just too much for a cup grow also.. Since the water is drunk up so quickly.. Im guessing all the salts are being left behind in the medium.. Plant is still healthy asf.. Calyxes should be fattening up pretty soon! Wish I knew what strain this was.. Ugh... Day 65.. Judging by the calyxes that have already swollen up.. These are gonna be some very nice, dense nugs.. Trichomes everywhere.. Seems like it may not be ready when they say Bloody Skunks are normally ready.. More like a sativa.. I really wish I would have got what I paid for.. For all I know this could be some CBD strain.. Ugh.. Still gonna grow it out and see what happens.. "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit" lol... ... Later... I been watering 2 - 3 times daily.. That's 1 negative thing about growing in cups.. This is my 3rd or 4th I've grown in a cup.. I'm impressed.. Although I do see it hurting yield slightly.. I guess we will see with what comes of this grow... Day 66.. Ok.. So maybe this is a Bloody Skunk... The leaves are starting to show purple.. The stems are deep dark purple in many spots.. Guess that different phenos can sometimes come out looking the exact opposite.. Still learning.. Whoops 😆 ... Later... She's chuggin water like crazy.. It has been pretty warm in the tent lately.. Hard to keep it down but 82F - 84F at the most.. But it sometimes will sit that high.. It has hit 86F - 88F.. I use 2 AcuRite Temp and Humidity Monitors.. One on top of the light and second just randomly placed in the corner on the pole about canopy height but both read only 1F difference. There are some leaves turning slightly purple.. Honestly, I think this light has been burning the tops.. Not very bad.. But I noticed alot of yellowing on my WW at the tops.. And just got worse toward the end.. And a little foxtailing as well, I think.. But I am seeing slight yellowing on the top leaves of this one.. Not bad.. But I do see it slightly.. Other than that.. And the abuse I have put her through.. She is happy and healthy asf.. Still not for sure but this very well may be a damn Bloody Skunk.. Let's see what happens... Day 68.. Just another day flowering.. Pistils are still white as can be.. Calyxes are still tiny but covered in trichomes.. The calyxes should start fattening up... Aaaany day now lol.. Seems like she's gonna be a long flowering girlie.. I've watered with just CalMag the last 3 days but the runoff PPM is still reading 900-1000.. Not sure whats going on.. Guess I should do a major flush and re-feed some time today. I'm thinking of trying out organic dry amendments in coco in the future.. Seems pretty simple.. Just need to time everything right which shouldn't be too difficult.. But anyways.. Its been a good week for the girl.. Nothing like keeping your lady happy! ... Later... I used a whole liter of pHed water without CalMag to flush and mixed up a new batch of nutes. I have added some Floralicious Plus to the mix also.. I'll note that on next weeks page. I only use 5 drops per Liter.. Which is about .25mL as it says to use.. Should help the trichome and terpene production. To be completely honest.. I'm not sure when to add Floralicious Plus.. After adding CalMag?? I've just been adding it after everything.. In this order... Silica, CalMag, Micro, Grow/Bloom, Bloom Booster, Floralicious Plus.. I havent noticed any lockout or anything.. So I guess it's working lol.. But I would still like to know the order it goes in case something starts fucking up. Day 69.. Not sure what these marks are.. It's only on this 1 leaf.. Noticed it yesterday and today it has gotten a little worse.. W... T... F... When I got home from work the tent got up to 90F.. The leaves looked lifeless.. I watered and got the temps down to 85F and 2 hours later she perked back up.. Scared me for a sec.. She's all good now.

I cut another part of the girls, and the total is even greater than the first part! We wait another week for the final sums, but right now the flavor is unique.

This week is sunny 🌞 . Started giving Big bud. Watering 2-3 liters per plant.

The bud structure on this plant is amazing, the buds developed to create nice tight golf ball sized nugs which are coated in trichomes. The smell inside of the jar has a little musk behind it, followed by the sweet smell of candy peaches which is also reflected in the taste.

The plants growing very well

Day 55 - 18/11/19 i still think another 1-2 weeks for this one, getting a jewelers loupe for the beginning of week 9 so i can tell exactly where were at in terms of harvest :) anyone got any thoughts on this little plant? have a look at the photos and videos and let me know in the comments below :) oh and i finally nailed what this strains smell is - tropical hubba bubba gum with cheese :'D Day 59 - 22/11/19 Got my jewelers loupe 2 days ago and ive been having a look at them. its pretty hard to see for a newbie grower. ive looked at harvest guides online and seen pictures of clear, cloudy and amber trichomes. mine look mostly cloudy (60%) and slightly glassy (40%) with barely any ambers. i may be wrong but the reason i think its cloudy is that it looks white against the leaves instead of see through or like glass. so going on this for my first trichome inspection im gonna harvest in the middle of next week. Smell is getting strong enough to stink out a room, still that tropical cheese smell, although its just so pungent it lingers in the rooms after bringing it out of the tent to inspect it. smell isnt a problem if you put it back in the tent and spray some air freshener stuff in the next room. the carbon filter is doing its job exactly as described along with the fan. The fan leaves started to get yellow patches and sugar leaves starting to curl. and a friend thinks its nearing the end of its life. I flushed yesterday and will flush again today to drain out any excess salts and nutes. Thanks for following along. im excited for week 9! Happy Growing!

GH cheese is growing nicely puffy flowers with a lot of trichomes. Looking forward to tight buds full of kief. Crossing fingers that the cheese flavour is pronounced. 22/03 New Video uploaded

Week 11, all the plants are doing great. Still have a few still stretching out over the rest but everyone just started stacking up lots, and lots of bud sites. Not to much to report this week, just adjusting thier nutrients for flower, other than that it's just a waiting game at this point. So far, this has been a very good strain for my first grow.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Going great so far except the 2 Gorilla Zkittles are still a little far behind but they are starting to bounce back! Day 18 everything finally transplanted in 5 gallon pots except the hulk berry is in the 3 gallon, hopefully the 1 small gorilla zkittles hits a growth spurt soon🤞🏼
