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

What up family, weekly update on these girls. I raised the lights 6in this week to allow some stretch but still keeping 400-600ppfd at the canopy level. Over all they're progressing beautifully. I started adding 2.5ml/gal of Athenas Blended line Grow A & B. Haven't seen any burnt leaf tips from the nutes so I think they'll be OK adding a little boost. I am seeing some from the water I spilled on the leafs. Lol. All in all Happy Growing.

These girls had large growth spurts. The plant buds packed on volume in the last 2 weeks. I let some deficiencies run about a month prior harvest, which I'll make sure not to do in future. Roughly a quarter pound of nice buds + trim.

One of those pot I’m already doing the flush. Tomorrow I’m going to do the flush with cold water and leave for 2 day in the dark before to cut. After normal flush, 3 day before I did the flush with cold and ice. And I going to leave for 72 hours in the dark.remember that it’s one of 3 pot of speed + , another pots I’m leaving for one more week .

Day 14 flower Hey Growers So day 14 of flower, I decided to defoliate as the tent was getting so overgrown. They are drying out quickly and the media is dense with roots. They are going to require daily watering very shortly. They seem quite happy and doing well. You can see in one of the pictures, the leaf edge is raised, which idk exactly what that is. I’ve decreased the light to 70% until I know how they’ll react. Other than that just put in the trellis to support the tops. Happy Growing 🌱

We only exist to bring joy into the world and The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Grow High and Give the world A smile. At the end we own nothing more then all our memories, lets make them amazing for everyone, nothing to lose only everything to win. for those who come after, right.

Warning beast of a plant lol My Northern Lights #10 plant is an absolute beast! It's the biggest in the tent, growing incredibly strong. Even the second-deck buds are developing with amazing vigor. This plant is a true powerhouse, and I can't wait to see the massive yield it produces. It's got that classic Northern Lights aroma – earthy and sweet with a hint of pine. This one's gonna be a winner! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

Our journey with the amazing LSD lady from Seeds Mafia has come to an end. From the very beginning, this girl delighted us with her performance. There were no problems throughout the entire growth period. She grew very vigorously, with thick stems, green leaves, and an incredibly sticky texture. The aroma is superb – strong, powerful, sharp, and pleasant. With just one whiff, you can tell it's a bomb, or I'd say a rocket into space. We planted her on October 29, 2023, and harvested on February 28, 2024. She had a 6-week vegetative period, and the rest of the time was spent flowering. Three weeks before harvest, we stopped feeding her nutrients, giving only purified water. Two weeks before harvest, we watered her with ice water three times every other day. Five days before harvest, we stopped watering altogether. The buds are dense, heavily covered in trichomes, and the branches would have started breaking without support. I want to thank Seeds Mafia once again for this awesome strain. I'm very pleased with this LSD lady and highly recommend it – you won't regret it, it's truly a bomb. I tried the lower buds, and they hit seasoned smokers hard. I'll soon try the upper buds but will be very careful, starting with microdoses. Seeds Mafia are reputable producers who not only excel in their strains but also care for their customers and value their reputation. I highly recommend visiting their website and choosing what suits your taste. I didn't weigh the wet buds, I hung our beauty upside down for about 14 days to dry. It will be dried at a temperature of 20-25°C with humidity between 55-65%. That's about it.

8/30 Rained yesterday and pretty much all night. Plants looked happy this morning. I'm thinking about feeding today or tomorrow. The late flowering special kush doesn't have much longer and it will be done. I'm going to need to do another treatment for the thrips. Nights are so cold that I think they aren't a major problem. No signs of septoria either. No signs of ANY molds or mildew. Even where I took the pillar out but I removed a lot. I am noticing (especially on the pink kush and the special kush in the back) the wierd "top hat" lower buds like I previously did. I don't think it's the chipmunk. It's like they eat fresh buds and leave the top there. I think it might be earwigs but I haven't seen ANY. Birds have been keeping my garden pretty clean. Almost everytime I walk down there it's like a flock of birds takes off lol. I was watching the little finches all perched on my cage. I've seen them dart in and grab a snack. It's pretty cool how it works. Symbiotic relationship. I feed the birds amd they help keep my garden pest free. EDIT: Went to check the girls around 430. It seems like everytime I see the flowers they've swelled in size. Especially the natural mk ultra. Everything is really coming together. Pink kush is behind but it's starting. I'm getting lots of fall colors but I'm losing lots of leaves too. I wouldn't have defoliated as good as I have if I hadn't had problems. I thought the plants were done getting taller or stretching but after this rain they ALL seem taller. The buds are swelling as well. I'm on the home stretch with the early special kush. Few more weeks. Everything looked amazing tonight. I wanted to take some pictures but I left my phone. Smell is greatly increasing. 8/31 I don't get how we got NO rain the ENTIRE summer but it's rained the past few nights? Maines bipolar weather I guess. I see the same shit as prior years. Something crawls up and eats small shoots and developing buds but leaves larger ones alone. I thought it was earwigs before. I'm not sure now. I'll have to go look at night and figure out what's eating shit. It's just small secondary shoots mostly. Stuff I should've pruned but I leave on so the won't eat my fucking colas. I got some work to do but I'm getting closer. 9/1 Well we made it to September. Pink kush is finally STARTING to form little buds. After some research (and watching those fucking locusts try to fly into my cage but can't because they are to fucking big. I was lucky I found that enormous one on the stalk of the furthest special kush right where the tip cola starts. Luckily I was able to get him. Didn't have to take pics or a video or even check if they need water. It rained a little last night and the buds were a little wet. I'm planning to feed when I get back. If they need water I'll give it to them. My early special kush is getting real close. I want to harvest at peak timing but sometimes exigent circumstances screw that up. However i think I'll be able to let this girl finish properly. EDIT: Went back over to check weights and everything was super heavy. Plants are all turning fall colors. I checked the trichs on my special kush, mk ultra and 10th planet. Everything looked great in the sun! Everything is swelling and getting frostier everyday. I'm hoping that the pink kushs will finish. My early special kush LOOKS like it should be done but it's not. Looking at the trichs and stigmas it needs more time. I've found on several plants that between the; giant caterpillars, earwigs and pillars that they can take a whole branch and pretty much decimate it in a night. I chased one of those giant locusts around my Cafe and it finally got out. Bastard was almost the size of a small bird! I should feed tonight and possibly do a treatment for pests. 9/2 Had to shake to plants off again. Bags are still heavy. I'll probably feed tonight. I'm noticing tons of damage on lower and interior branches. The grasshoppers or locusts or whatever they are can strip a whole branch! They can even bite through little stems. I'll never grow outside without floating row covers again. The special kush is getting really close. Sometime this week I'll look for a mature tester bud. Both MK ULTRAS are exploding in flower and getting frostier daily.

Week 4 – Blue Sunset Sherbert The plants are thriving in week 4 of flowering! 🌱 I added a layer of Greenhouse Feeding and Allmix on top to ensure they have enough nutrients until harvest. 🌿 The buds are swelling nicely, and resin production is clearly ramping up. ✨ The scent is also getting stronger, with noticeable citrus notes coming through 🍋. I slightly adjusted the light distance to optimize their development. 💡 Excited to see how they progress—stay tuned for more updates! 😎 --- Woche 4 – Blue Sunset Sherbert Die Pflanzen gedeihen prächtig in der vierten Blütewoche! 🌱 Ich habe eine Schicht Greenhouse Feeding und Allmix oben drauf gegeben, damit sie bis zur Ernte optimal versorgt sind. 🌿 Die Buds nehmen ordentlich an Größe zu, und die Harzproduktion wird immer intensiver. ✨ Auch der Geruch wird stärker – die Zitrusnoten sind schon deutlich wahrnehmbar 🍋. Ich habe die Lampenhöhe leicht angepasst, um das Wachstum weiter zu optimieren. 💡 Bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht—bleibt dran für mehr Updates! 😎

Hey everyone! This week has been great but had a little emergency that required some additional tie downs on multiple main cola's. I woke up in the morning to the ties completely untied on the stakes and the cola's bending for dear life. The knuckles on these ladies are very strong and was incredibly lucky here in my opinion.🙌 😇 I will say, ScrOG netting = resistance training for your plants = little bit of healthy stress = stronger inflorescence in the end 😈. I do need to keep an eye on these chunky colas as I've never had this issue before with it being so top heavy - they are getting really fat by the day and the tent smells wonderful. I'm thinking the plant on the left will finish a bit faster than the one on the right - but will be a good science experiment to have one really head high - the other being really body high as I plan to chop both down same time. I haven't checked the trichromes of each (will start tomorrow), but by the looks of things...I may be harvesting these ladies on New Years Eve....hip hip, hooray! 😜😌👌. Thanks for stopping by everyone!
