Wow what a week this has been, the plants have all undergone fair dramatic changes. A real flurry of leaf yellowing, pistil darkening/curling, and bug swelling. The smell is really coming along now, I think we're really quite close to harvest. On the assumption that pre-flowering was two weeks, this strain should be ready at the end of week seven flowering, so in the case of this diary the end of week nine (i.e. one week to go!). Pistils are about 70-80% amber, and the lower pistils on buds have started curling inward. Trichomes look to me to be something like 10% clear 80% Milky 10% White. I have smoke tested a small bud off the lower part of plant 3 today after quick-drying overnight in the airing cupboard, taking into consideration the obvious chlorophyll from the fast dry, the high was much closer to what I am expecting than the last smoke test. It came on at the normal pace, was quite effective, and lasted a good while. I am really hoping I can navigate my way through the next process, as I feel quite close now to having some home grown bud for the first time. The plants are being well watered this evening with just water, and this will be the last time that I water them until harvest. I will continue to monitor these daily, I intend to harvest at the first sign of any amber trichome. Advice and comments welcomed. P.S. Exciting news! My order from Green House Seeds arrived today for my next diaries! :)

Well sliding into another week, I'm checking the trichomes and waiting for them to go milky, not sure if i can just check leaves for that. That's what i have been doing. I've been told i'm waiting for a portion of at least half of the hairs to go an orange/bronze color. Weird blotches become more prominent on leaves that its visible (they are just in some leaves) less than half id say around 15 - 20% and less than half of those seem pretty bad. I would like to know the cause if its nutrient lockout or a disease etc. Or perhaps its normal for late stage flowering i do not know

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times ๐Ÿ˜… Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way ๐Ÿ™ My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.๐Ÿ˜†. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ Happy Growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š

The Case of the Overdosing Indica: Act I - Week 3, The Breakout Dame (and a Sticky Situation) The dame surprised me. Shot up like a scared rookie in a liquor store holdup. Pushed right through the top of that plastic cone, like a magician escaping a cheap trick. Gave her some room to breathe, let her finally spread those green wings. Responded like a champ, doubled in size practically overnight. Shows she's got some fight in her after all. Just when I thought things were smoothing out, I spot a new player in the game. A spider, fat and sassy, spun a web between Auto Overdose and the dame next door, Tequila Sunrise. Looks like they're getting tangled up already. More trouble on the horizon, or a twisted kind of protection? This case just keeps getting stranger. Stay tuned, folks, Act II promises to be a tangled web indeed.

Unfortunately, I have very clayey soil, which does not drain well. All the plants in this greenhouse had root rot. I tried to skim it off, but unfortunately I was unable to save the plants. Gorilla Zkittlez, Lemon Drizzle, OG Kush, Blue Dream, Purple Punch died :( ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Well another week is done, and guess what we're now in flower! These girls shot up and really bushed out this week. Bud sites popping up everywhere, nice and bushy with very even tops. Main colas maybe 2" higher than the rest of the canopy. Gotta love blueberry strains for their even, wide canopies. No work otherwise, just watching them do their thing and keeping the environment locked in. Lights 580 umol/s @ 30" hanging height. Humidifier barely running by the end of the week, will probably be able to pull it next week just to free up some space.

Hello Growmies! Here we are at week 15 with the Epic Buzz, and what a sight it has become. As the days pass, the natural fading is more apparent, showcasing an array of autumnal hues that captivate the eye. The aroma is intoxicating and undeniably strong, filling the space with an earthy and pungent perfume. This week, Iโ€™ve implemented a bit of drought and temperature stress, emulating the natural environment of autumn even further. It's a delicate process, but these beauties have responded with resilience, their colors transitioning beautifully as they approach the late stages of flowering. Each bud is dense and frosty, a testament to the careful nurturing theyโ€™ve received. The environment is controlled, but Iโ€™ve allowed for slight fluctuations to challenge the plants, encouraging them to harden and produce those precious, resinous trichomes. Itโ€™s a sight to behold and the anticipation for harvest grows daily. Itโ€™s all about patience and precision now, as each day could mean the difference between good and great. As we approach the harvest, I'm closely monitoring each plant, ensuring they're expressing their full potential. The resilience they've shown is remarkable, a sign of strong genetics and attentive care. They're a testament to the wonders of cultivation and the rewards of dedication. So, stay tuned as we close in on the final days. It's a journey filled with anticipation and excitement. The payoff is nearly at hand, and soon we'll be reaping the fruits of our labor. Stay lifted, Salokin!

Canโ€™t believe I got 78g of bud of her! Thatโ€™s nearly double what I usually get of 1 plant ๐Ÿ˜‚ maybe it was due to giving her 7 weeks of veg, rather than the usual 4 weeks!? Either way Iโ€™m buzzing Sheโ€™s coated in sugar and stinks!! The high is strong giving a massive couchlock and the munchies! She smelt and tasted like usual cheese but obviously much nicer and stronger ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Ok, so day 46, i see a lot of โ€œhairsโ€ turning dark/brown/yellow, so i gave it fresh water no nutes. But it is only the top buds, so maybe i will feed 1-2 times more before flushing. Thats for lsd-25. blueberries, on the other hand needs more time. Day 47: very beautiful colours, and the sweetest smell โค๏ธ
