Well, where do I start...they're clearly not happy. Same conditions as everything else and all of the GMO show poor sickly growth. The compost is quite hot, maybe they're sensitive to nutrients early on? I've never had a bad strain from BF so this is unusual. But if you look at my other diaries everything else is thriving. Maybe someone that has grown these before can give me some tips to get these thriving?

Fed once this week with a weak feed including top max. I use kombucha vinegar as pH down. Water from my tap is ph6.8-7.0 and 38-42ppm so I might start using calmag supliment as the ppm at my old house used to come out of the tap at ph7. 2 and 200-220ppm. I had 2 plants that didn't like the light at 30000 lux and started bleaching so I took them out. I've defoliated today day 35 as humidity was getting over 80% and also to let light to the lower bud sights. Pre flower pistils showed on some plants around day 33 (some still have none) so I'll consider this the end of veg start of flower. The kalimist indica pheno is still not showing pre flower pistils but is always hard to force flowering when it's not mature for some reason. It's always 7-14 days behind everything else 🤔

Late Flower has begun, and even though she’s kinda behind on schedule (estimated flowering time of 9 weeks), she’s killing off her old fan leaves and utilizing the newer leaves. I can see she’s naturally starting to fade, so I think I got about a week left. There has been a little hiccup at some point, her light switch plug malfunctioned while I was out and she missed a whole day worth of light and looked sad and dry. After watering, she rebounded in just a couple hours and continued to produce her calyxes. I hope this will be a good yield because some of her branches are starting to tilt as her buds start to swell.

So, that’s it. :-) Hemprietta is no longer among the living. After an 8-day drying phase at 45 to 53% humidity, she’s now chopped up and curing in two jars. The yield is pretty big. Due to local legal restrictions, I’m not keeping everything—I got rid of all the small stuff. What a luxury to have a selection… and how ridiculous not to be able to keep it all. :-) Oh well, it was still a joy… I kept the best buds. And damn—are they beautiful! Final thoughts: Main-lining works extremely well for a sativa in a small grow tent, even with the extra 2 to 3 weeks of training. It’s great for height control and gives the plant a solid structure, resulting in almost exclusively fat, dense main buds. I’d say the yield-to-effort ratio isn’t compromised at all. If I had kept all the solid buds (no popcorn buds), the dry weight would have been around 110 to 120 grams—which would be perfect for a two-person household. ;-) One thing I’ve learned: a 95-watt lamp might be slightly overkill for a 40x40 cm tent… Update after curing an tasting: After about three weeks in the jar, I finally had the chance to try Hemprietta. Yay! I’m really impressed with the effects—this is some seriously fine herb. I can’t decide whether it takes first or second place in my personal top 10. The high is pretty strong, which I don’t usually love as an occasional smoker, but since there’s no real couchlock, the intensity is totally fine for me. After a long, stressful day, just a few puffs completely wipe out any tiredness and make you want to be social again. A light euphoria and good mood set in. You feel focused and receptive—though whether you actually are focused is another question. At least while playing FIFA, there were no mediocre results: either a crushing 7-1 victory or a humiliating 1-7 defeat—nothing in between. Conversations are fun and quickly get silly to downright goofy. At higher doses, you get properly stoned and suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to inhale obscene amounts of potato chips and gummy bears. Great for the soul, not so great for the waistline. But hey, it works. It’s crazy how even then, you don’t feel stuck to the couch. Overall, a fantastic experience. I can fully recommend Laughing Buddha—it’s perfect for social occasions! ----- So das war's wohl. :-) Hemprietta weilt nicht mehr unter den Lebenden. Nach einer Trocknungsphase von 8 Tagen bei 45 bis 53 % Luftfeuchtigkeit ist sie jetzt zum Härten zerstückelt in zwei Gläser verteilt. Der Ertrag ist ziemlich groß. Auf Grund der hiesigen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen behalte ich also nicht alles - sondern habe den ganzen Kleinkram beseitigt. Was für ein Luxus eine Auswahl zu haben. Und wie bekloppt nicht alles behalten zu können. :-) egal, war dennoch eine Freude... Die schönsten Buds habe ich behalten. Und meine Fresse - die sind aber auch schön! Als Resümee: Main Lining funktioniert bei einer Sativa in einem kleinen Growzelt mit ca 2 bis 3 Wochen Mehraufwand extrem gut, um die Höhe zu kontrollieren und der Pflanze eine sinnvolle Struktur zu geben. So entstehen eigentlich nur fette / harte Main-Buds. Ich würde Mal behaupten, dass der Ertrag im Verhältnis Aufwand-Nutzen keineswegs geschmälert ist. Wenn ich alle ordentlichen Buds (keine Popcornbuds) aufgehoben hätte, wäre sicherlich ein Trockengewicht von ungefähr 110 bis 120 Gramm herausgekommen - was für einen Zweipersonenhaushalt perfekt wäre ;-) ich lerne daraus, dass eine 95 Watt Lampe für ein Zelt 40x40 offensichtlich etwas überdimensioniert sein könnte... Update nach Curing und Verkostung: Nach etwa drei Wochen im Glas habe ich die Gelegenheit gehabt Hemprietta zu verkosten. Jay! Ich bin sehr angetan von der Wirkung. Aus meiner Sicht ein richtig feines Gras. Ich bin unentschieden, ob es auf Platz 1 oder 2 meiner Top 10 landet. Die Wirkung ist ziemlich stark - eigentlich finde ich das als Gelegenheitskonsument nicht sooo geil, aber da kein wirklicher Couchlock eintritt ist die Stärke voll okay für mich. Nach einem langen stressigen Tag ist die Müdigkeit nach wenigen Zügen vertrieben und man bekommt (wieder) Lust auf sozialen Kontakt. Eine leichte Euphorie und gute Laune macht sich breit. Man fühlt sich ziemlich fokussiert und aufnahmefähig. Ist man auch wirklich fokussiert? Schwer zu sagen :-) zumindest beim FIFA zocken gab es keine mittelmäßigen Ergebnisse mehr. Entweder Sieg 7:1 oder Niederlage 1:7 - aber nichts dazwischen... Gespräche machen Spaß und sind schnell ziemlich lustig bis albern. Bei höherer Dosierung ist man schon ziemlich breit und hat Bock obszön viele Kartoffelchips und Gummibärchen in sich zu stopfen. Gut für die Seele, schlecht für die Figur. Passt also. Verrückt, dass man auch dann noch nicht das Gefühl bekommt an der Couch zu kleben. Also insgesamt ein großartiges Erlebnis. Ich kann Laughing Buddha voll und ganz empfehlen. Sehr gut geeignet für soziale Anlässe.

6 plants got topped today. The girls have been drinking more often. I’m going to mix up a tea this week and see if it helps. Really hoping for the best with the northern lights. I think I might at least get 1 good plant. Time will tell. Happy growing guys.

welcome to 📅 Day 29 of the grow Day 1 of flower 7/5/2021 sorry for the late update I just found out my wife is pregnant with our first 👶. the girls are doing great under the new grow feeding and coming along great. see you all on Thursday for my next update. Happy growing and keep your stick on the ice 🏒 Update: 📅 Day 4 of flower 7/9/2021 the girls are coming along very good and I have done the last of the pruning from here on out its just feeding I would like to say a few words about Mars Hydro. the TS 1000 is a great light and I love the fact that the power supply is capable of being separated from the light and located outside of the tent to keep the heat down. I also like the fact that you can control the light intensity and daisy chain with another light witch is what I plan on doing.

Seen some good growth. Lots of leafs to dispose of with defoliating 5 plants.

A complex blend of sweet, nutty, and sour notes – reminiscent of Amaretto, complemented by citrus and earthy undertones. After testing, the following terpene profile was identified: Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Humulene. It delivers a balanced effect with an uplifting, creatively stimulating head high, followed by a relaxing body effect without heavy sedation – although it hit me so hard that after 2 hours of activity, I ended up sleeping on the floor for 4 hours. 😂 THC levels of 28% were recorded, and this single plant yielded 410 grams of fully cured flower.💚💚💚

Royal Gorilla took 63 to harvest from 12/12 switch Very Sticky while trimming The buds I hung last night totalled 223 grams The trimmings totalled 35 grams I will update next week when things are dry and going into mason jars

The plants continue to grow although slowly. I turned the Gavita back on this week and even at 42 inches it seems to be too much light at full power because although they're getting adequate nutrients, the leaves appear to be showing signs of damage to the chlorophyll pigments. I'd like to splurge and get the adapter and controller so that I can dim the light and slowly increase the intensity to allow for a more gradual photo acclimation period, but I will probably hold off until my next run. I've also considered adding supplemental Co2 to help the plants more effectively tolerate and take advantage of the light intensity, but it seems like a big expense for an uncertain benefit considering all of the other variables that are sub-optimal. Perhaps I'll give those Excellofizz Co2 pucks a try. Someday I'll build sealed grow room with automated Hvac, feeding, and Co2 enrichment but for now I'll soldier on and hope for the best as the flip to 12-12 approaches. More to come next week!

Vegetative Week 4 – Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2) This fourth week of vegetative growth confirms a pattern that has unfortunately been present since the beginning of this run. The plant is technically growing, but visually she looks unhealthy, weak, and stressed. Overall structure, leaf quality, and general vigor are clearly not where they should be at this stage. Nutrient solution has been kept within a reasonable range, with pH maintained between 5.8 and 6.2 and EC around 1.1–1.2. Despite this, there is no clear positive response from the plant. At this point, it is difficult to identify a single root cause. It could be related to nutrition balance, substrate preparation, environmental parameters, lighting, or simply a combination of multiple small issues accumulating since the start. The humidity dome has now been fully removed. Given the plant’s current condition, maintaining excessive humidity no longer seems beneficial. The approach is now to simplify, stabilize, and observe. This run is clearly delayed, and expectations for a quick recovery are low. That said, the focus remains on learning from these early-stage difficulties and improving future starts, especially substrate preparation and initial environmental control. For now, the plant will continue to be fed consistently, without overreacting or introducing drastic changes. Observation and patience remain the priority. See you next week, and take care.

Day 42 — FLO | Mixed SCROG (120×80) Box smells unreal — sticky as hell. Buds are packing weight and the trichs are starting to turn milky in spots, but most are still crystal-clear so I’m letting them cook a bit longer. Canopy is fat, structure solid; loads of resin on every cola — fingers already gluey from checking. Night temps and RH still a pain (cold garage), so I’m watching for any mold hotspots and keeping airflow moving. Overall super happy with how this mixed run turned out so far. Quick state: Lights: 400W HPS + 300W LED (4000K) — plenty of punch. Media: 20 L smart pots, BioBizz soil + myco, organic feeds (BioBloom, TopMax, Green Sensation). Training: SCROG, LST/HST done, minimal tweaks now — mostly letting the flowers fatten. Trichomes: pockets of milky, majority still clear — not chop-ready yet, keep peeping with scope every 2–3 days. Plant-by-plant notes (position → short ID + what I see) Back-left — Wedding Cake (Portland) Very frosty, main colas are dense and sugary. Pistils starting to darken a bit, buds showing early signs of swelling. Trichome coverage is heavy — this one will likely be a resin monster. Watch for the classic sweet/creamy aroma to deepen. Back-center — Kush Crasher Properly turning purple and looking gorgeous. Leaves are showing that cool kush coloration and the colas are chunky and stout. Very sticky, strong nose developing (earthy / diesel kush). Keep temps stable so the purple stays and you don’t stress it too hard. Back-right — AK-47 Shorter, compact nodes but stacking nice little cola clusters. Classic AK structure — not the frostiest but reliable bud density and a punchy terp profile expected. Nice even development under the HPS. Front-left — Double Krush Buds forming tight clusters — a little leaner than the gassier strains but foxtailing less and stacking nicely. Shows vigour and is filling in under the canopy. Good candidate for chunky colas if you let it finish a touch longer. Front-center — Wappa Main cola is a beast — this one’s the show-stealer for bulk. Fat, chunky top cola, already showing awesome density and slight color shift. Expect a heavy, compact cola at chop. Loving how the Wappa is responding to your SCROG. Front-right — Detroit Runtz Longer, slightly looser colas compared to the others but super resinous. Shows those fruity/runts vibes — buds are coating in trichomes and the structure looks promising for aroma/density trade-off. Might finish a touch sooner or later depending on phenotype, keep an eye on the trichs. What I’d do next (short checklist): Keep scope-checking trichs — pockets of milk = start of the final swell. Most still clear → not ready yet. Hold off major defol or HST now; only small tidy-up if airflow spot is tight. Watch RH closely at night — lower if I can (dehumidifier or heater + intake trick). Mold is the enemy at this point. Last heavy feed flush plan: stay conservative — these look on the edge of finishing, so taper nutrients as trichs go 30–50% milky and pistils darken.

End of week 3 currently. Will be updating end of the week for week 4. Plants are growing fast and strong. Started the low stress training by pulling the ladies over. Going to keep monitoring environment and watering when dry with decholrinated tap water at PH of 6.3-6.6.

-Grow is going great. Swelling up -I've been dropping the temps and humidity down during lights off. The temps don't drop below 66 degrees and I try to bring the humidity level down to 30-35% several times throughout the dark period. -Starting my flush. On my hydro plants, I will be using florakleen and hydroguard in water with a ph level of 6.0-6.2. -Flushing the plants in coco with ph balanced water and blackstrap molasses for the remainder of the grow. A nice experiment to see what difference it makes.

Day 36. topping for seven branches. Day 38. Water with 2L nutrients mix. Day 39. does super cropping for four brunches. Day 40. Switch to 12/12h

Everything going well, I don't like how wide this plants foot print is but it's looking good.
