Hi guys Welcome ๐Ÿ™‚ After more than month postharvest , I have tested this Blue Gelato #41 ๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŒฑ In the end was passed 78ยฐ days in flowering for the right maturation I can only say.. Awesome ๐Ÿคฉ About taste , perfume and effect Also the grow inself was fun and not to hard In the beginnig my plan was to growing her in a natural way But in the end I have decide to topping her and create a multiple primary colas And she was react very well: 1:๐ŸŒณ Flowers are very dense , also after the dry and cure process The aroma of smoke after my first pitch from a joint, obviously weed-only, reminded me a lot of Amsterdam The bluberry taste is the first thing you feel, and it's clear and clean Afterwards there are notes of earth and something similar to citrus on a sweet base The effect is enough for the day because it keeps you motivated and creative too But if you sit on the sofa and close your eyes, you can clearly feel a tingling on the forehead halfway between one eye and the other ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ And the imagination is facilitated, expanding the creative process For this reason it could be vaguely psychedelic I personally love it I want to spend two words about post-harvest artistic process๐Ÿ˜‰ Personally I have spent more time figuring out the best way to have the tastiest, smoothest, cleanest and most perfect burning weed. First I just want to say one thing... ..WEED SHOULD NOT SMELL DURING THE DRY PROCESS.. If this happens, it means that the temperature and humidity are too high and probably the fans are aimed directly at the inflorescences The scent that is felt are all terpenes that are dispersing in the air and which consequently will be less intense during final consumption The less trichomes remain in contact with air, the better If too exposed to air and light, these oxidize, thus removing much of the final experience Personally, what interests me most is the taste, because it already creates the effect in itself A bit like when you sit down to eat I prefer a well-cared for dish with quality ingredients that leave me a great memory after consuming it, rather than a dish that only fills my stomach Mc Donald weed vs Five star restaurant . Sorry Mc lovers ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ™Œ Said this.. My method is that the cannabis is dried whole plant for a maximum of five days at constant and balanced temperature and humidity, the important thing is to maintain a narrow range between te ur, 20 ยฐ or 24 ยฐ C little changes, even if humidity remains between 55 and 60% is fine The increase in temperature must also correspond to an increase in humidity And so also in case of a decrease In any case In the first few days it must lose most of its water ๐Ÿ’ง When the branches are about to break, but still not cracking, I cut the branches one by one and perform a professional manicure Afterwards, always with the flowers still attached to the branches, I put everything inside a classic brown bread bag (not white because it is colored and not the best) For about two days I leave the buds inside, opening the bag several times a day to circulate air and to move the branches with the flowers After a couple of days, the inflorescences usually have reached a good level of drying and are dense to the touch, but by pressing, you still have to be able to crush between the fingers Explaining in words how hard they can be pressed to find out if the ur level is optimal is difficult to say It is must necessary to try and make mistakes many times And never be satisfied You can always do better ๐Ÿ˜Ž: 1:๐Ÿ’ช So, now we are about ten days after the cut of the plant and, at this point, the flowers can be placed in an airtight container BASIC The flowers are put in the vase "a moment before" that the branches break cleanly, this is important An optimal method to understand when the right time is is to see if the popcorn buds are easily detached from the branch, without dragging with them the "thread" of the bark Once placed in the pot, normally I leave it closed for 24h in order to let the moisture come out from the central area of โ€‹โ€‹the flower and distribute it evenly After this first day, I start to open and close the pot several times a day, but always for a few seconds At each opening I always move the flowers to allow a correct exposure to the little air present in the vase The jars would be better not to fill them completely, but just a 3/4 or a little more The important thing is that the flowers can move easily enough This process generally lasts about four weeks, and every seven days I decrease the number of daily openings Usually, after the first week, the scents that will be created begin to be felt And this makes us realize that we are on the right track ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿš€ After four weeks, if everything has been done in a workmanlike manner, the perfume will be pungent and intoxicating and the flowers will be dense and oily to the touch When the humidity level appears optimal, I insert a bag from the Boveda series to keep the ur around 62% In all cases, I personally start using my flowers constantly two months after cutting ๐Ÿ“† I noticed that in general, Haze-type Sativas are tasty even after only a month For the Kush the optimal terpene profile I appreciate it in the neglect only after a couple of months In this way the flowers will be extremely fragrant, crunchy and smooth in flavor once consumed and always create a clear oil all around the rolling papers As you can appreciate in the videos what place, and that I hope to be able to post for much longer every time I conclude a new cycle You need to savor a lot of cannabis in order to have a clear idea of โ€‹โ€‹how a high quality finished product should look ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘Œ This is my thought about our true works for having the best , I hope it can be useful ๐Ÿ˜‰ About the Living Soil with my High-Brix formula Like I say week by week , for this lady I have use a 20l geotextile pot with around 1/3 of the Living Soil I have made ( in this case in november 2019 ) First thing to say is Trought this metodology we're not feeding the plants , but the soil โ˜๏ธ Basycally the important things are principaly four Soil energy Cation exchange Microbial activity Mineral balance Soil energy is kept high with humus Cation exchange with rock powders Microbial activity is achieved with innoculants and some teas or other Mineral balance is achieved by adding the micronutes and having everything in the right ratio's For doing this I have use a base mostly of light-mix soil with already perlite inside ( classic cannabis soil ) coco nut humus zeolite then I have add Neem soil , Kelp , Krill , Azomite , Basalt , Gypsum , Calcium Carbonate , Phosforite , Alfalfa and Leonardite Then I was have "cooking" it for a month an half And this was the engine that allowed the plant to stay in constant health, keeping the Brix level high ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ”ฅ During the flowering time I have add mostly only water , one times a week with molasses for feeding the microbs I have also make a humus/nutrient tea for she and her sisters , just one time I'm feel good doing in this way , like it and I understand so many more things about the lives into the ground in general But just for be precis.. For having the high brix in plants we must need obviously a good soil with a right nutrition way, but we have also to maintain the environment around her in the best condition Temperature , ur , right water dosage in right time , good ventilation and fresh air The balance it's the key Like in our daylife ๐Ÿ™‚ And obviously a fundamental it's First , the right strain selection from serious breeder ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ”ฅ Second , passion&love ๐Ÿ’š (Don't look for them in a growshop) So, I think I said it all I apologize for this long review But I wanted to explain the best of the things that personally took the quality of my cannabis to a higher level Thanks for everybody stopping by here in this few months or just now for the first time๐Ÿ™ Thanks Barney's farm for create this and more strain ๐Ÿค And like as always thanks the people behind Grow diaries for maintaine this creativity space๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ… Hope you was enjoy Or at least , hope you are stoned like me right now ๐Ÿ˜ See you somewhere Always growing ๐ŸŒฒ Looking for a clouds โ˜๏ธ Ciao โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น FC

Day 49 smells amazing anywhere near the tent. I have done a ton of defoliation to allow some more air flow and added another small fan and also a dehumidifier.Going to drop humidity to 55 percent and I have increased the light intensity to 70 percent power.These girls have been very thirsty and drinking around a half a gallon of water every 24-48 hours. Day 50 I added a 4 inch inline fan to add some cool air from outside the tent to help cool things down a bit.Got some curl on some of the fan leaves which itโ€™s time for more of them to go.Buds are starting to develop nicely and I added a dose of Plagron green sensation and a dose of cal mag in tonightโ€™s watering.

Day 70 sheโ€™s frosting up nicely. Her cola structure looks more saliva in nature compared to the last one I grew. She is much larger then the last girl I grew out. I excited to have her around. Sheโ€™s one of my favorite strains. I wish I could smell her but my nose is so clogged I have no idea why but my face could be pealed off at this point ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿป

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!

Buds are fattening up pretty well and I've had to use more rubber garden wire and clips to keep the branches from bending over. Smell is increasing on the Northern Light but still a mild skunk on the Black Devil. Also gave the very last feeding on the plants this week so they will get nothing but water until the chop. I'm very happy with the microbe populations so I stopped feeding the sugars (molasses/agave) as the plants themselves don't get much out of them; that stuff is just for feeding the soil beasties. I had added some predatory mites several weeks ago to deal with some springtails, and the mites annihilated the population. I did find a developing larva though so there are still some around. Posted lots of microscope videos today.
