D56 - Today is the first day in the eighth week of veg for #2 and the seventh for #1. This will be the final week of veg for the girl as I'm ready to flip in a few days. I did the last heavy defoliation by removing most leaves and branches except the tops. I aim to get the girl to put all the flowering energy into the tops and hopefully result in big colas without popcorn nugs or larf. I did keep a few clones from each girl, though. After defoliation, I sprayed down the girl with my chili tincture to combat the thrips. I took great care to hit all leaves on both sides. This tincture is harsh to work with, and I was coughing like mad, and I damn near filled my N95 mask with snot (yummy!). After all this snot, drool and coughing, I just wanted to be done for the day, so I stressed checking out how my new scrog frame fits. The frame, of course, fell and broke one of the tops clean off. Ugh! I tried to fix it with some tape but the break was in a weird spot and it didn't work. Not a massive deal as it was a corner top, and there will be 15 other tops. Still annoying, but hey, it's my damn fault for stressing. D57 - The girls have bounced back nicely from their heavy defoliation. I just snapped a couple of pics as I hung a blue sticky trap in the tent. I always have regular yellow sticky traps in my tent to monitor pest pressure. However, thrips aren't that interested in yellow but are attracted to blue. D59 - I flipped my lights today from the veg mode to the flower-inducing mode. I have no idea how much these girls will stretch, so better sooner than later. Also, I finally got around to start training one of the tops toward the middle of each girl. (About damn time!) I've thought about it for quite a while but have been ignoring it. The lights are flipped now, so we are almost out of veg time. Now or never! D62 - The girls look healthy, and I can't see any thrip damage on the newer leaves. Fingers crossed that the buggers are gone! I gave each girl around 2.5-liters of water @ pH 6.3.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Week III 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 A WEEK OF A LOT OF PATIENCE, PLANTS STOPPED AND I TRIED TO MODIFY THE WIDE ASPECT OF LIGHT TO UNLOCK THEM, AS I HAD ALREADY SCHEDULED LET'S PULL ON TO 6 WEEKS OF VEGETATION AND WAIT FOR BETTER DEVELOPMENTS 📝📝📝📝📝 Notes 📝📝📝📝📝 CHANGE IN THE WATERING JOURNEY, LEAVING 1 WATERING DAY FOR 2 DRY WATERING FOR EVERY DAY NO, BEING 1 WATERING WITH NUTRIENTS AND ANOTHER WATER ONLY. 📝📝📝📝📝

So I have spider mites. I screwed up so much i think this is going 15 weeks. Lost coast to the rescue! time to finish these buggers off

Sb1 - 386g wet

Except for drying, curing, and smoking, this concludes my Medusa F1 grow. I harvested the plant on day 92. Overall, the plant was a thrill to watch grow. It thrived from day one, and I am more than happy with a wet yield of 336 grams given my setup. The buds are large, dense, laden with trichomes, and they have a great calyx-to-leaf ratio. I discovered a few mites on this plant and its neighbor (a Milky Way F1) in the last 7-10 days. However, the Medusa F1 resisted them so well that they barely multiplied. Or, if they did multiply, they left the Medusa for the Milky Way. The final proof of my efforts will be in the dry yield and quality of smoke. Sometimes I trim wet and sometimes I trim dry. In this case, I'm going to dry trim, so I just cut the plant and hung it upside down from a line in an out-of-the-way room that I can keep dim. There is a little circulation in the room via floor registers. I will return in due time with a dry weight and smoke report. SMOKE REPORT After drying for 6-7 days, I dry-trimmed and jarred up my Medusa F1 harvest. It was a breeze to trim because of its high calyx-to-leaf ratio. To me, that's a big plus. After 11 days in the jar, I had one bud lab-tested for potency, and then decided to proceed with my smoke report out of excitement at seeing the numbers (see below & photos). I added a ton of photos and one video to this smoke report (trimming setup, dried buds in and out of jars, proof-of-smoke video). Regarding taste and aroma, the buds smell mildly of herbs (sandalwood?) and pepper, and the same aromas carry over in the smoke. Regarding potency & effects, the bud I sampled (3 pulls) was quite strong, non-drowsy, and it came on in a quick rush. The rush peaked about 5-10 minutes after smoking, and I would describe the high as "stoney" in the traditional sense, but also "up." For about half an hour, the effects were enough to disrupt my focus -- definitely a strong high. Then, my focus returned and the sensations changed to a milder pleasant buzz, which lasted a couple hours before tapering off. The material smoked left behind nice white ash. POTENCY TESTING RESULTS TAC: 22.5% THC-A: 21.8% CBG-A: .68% Terpenes: Medium (1-2%)

Sorry I missed last week! This week has gone really well. 2 weeks into flower and I topped off my pots with more soil and mixed in some compost concentrate, they seemed to really like that! I’m pretty sure things are looking good so let me know what you think!! Also I haven’t done any training, trimming or topping I wanted to see how it would go!……. Hello! Halfway thru week 6 and she is really starting to take off growing over an inch a day now!

💚💚💚

Looking good started to flower this last week.

Unfortunately I can't post as many pictures this week because I'm on vacation. Of course Lady Runtz will still be well taken care of. 💚💚💚

(Bloom test week) I decided to put both plants into bloom to determine the sex of each one. The Right hand plant was a Male (sad times) the left plant however is a winner and is looking super healthy , i have now switched the lights back into veg at the end of this week, aiming for another 3-4 weeks of veg.

Auto Purple Hulk Auto by MSNL Outside 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W10F6 8/17-23 This past week has been rainy and overcast from a tropical storm with temperatures mostly in the upper 80s. We have Hurricane Erin approaching and ate under a tropical storm warning with wind gusts of 30-40 MPH. While we won’t be directly hit by the storm, we will get the outer bands of heavy winds and rain. To protect my plants, I brought all the girls inside on Tuesday 19th in preps for the storm. I inspected each one for bugs, rot or anything unusual. I found what might be the start of bud rot in one spot and cut it off. 8/19 Auto Purple Hulk is 59 days from germination. MSNL says 60-75 days to harvest so it needs a week more. Next week with the hurricane approaching, we are expecting rain for most of the week. Given the bud rot I found and the pending weather conditions for the next couple of weeks, the remainder of the grow will be in the tent where I can control the environment. I also will be using the air conditioner to drop nighttime temperature. She is already purple but maybe the colors will intensify. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿, 💫Natrona💫

Day 50 (22 of flowering ) flowering is really bloom ing now, i’m playing a little with lamp distance cause is a 100 watt non dimmerable so i hope to increase light to bud, they need now. Now she really needs a lot of feed. I give 1 lt every2 days. Day 51 (23 o flowering ), another 1 lt full. Now she’s eating 1 lt every 48 hours, and when she need it anyway. But she need à lot more thème before. Day 53 I had to supercrop this branch that was too close to the heat ventilation. I hope it will save the branch and increase maybe that bud. Today another 1 lt of feeding, and I think that from the end of this week is going to need more. Let’s go!

no training No toppin Just test run

I‘m back at Germany! After 3 weeks Break, my roommate gave Its best to take care of them… Temperature and humidity were Not that perfect, as I just told her to water and dung them right. But still they Look pretty good. I had to defoliate as much as I can to stop them to get oversized. Still Strawberry Banana got a huuuuge Stretch! It is way to Big for the tent… I might think about, letting her grow on the outside, to perform the Best and Not getting sun burnt by the light, which is to close on the buds. I water them now with 1,5L per day or until they get a drain. Looking forward on hold This setup for a while, increasing the Temperature again and try to drop the humidity down to 40%…

So these girls are sailing into preflowering week now starting this week will be their first week of flower💚 All happy and healthy and have been heavily defoliate and removed any excess branching down lower that isnt receiving light 🌱 The 2 icc are really tall and competitive and the toronjaz shorter yet wider They will hopefully transition this week happily into flower 🌱 I have 2 icc and 3 toronjaz remaining, Let's hope they continue too do well. My light was a little close but have now sorted that and they will now be flipped too 12/12 light shcedule 🌱 Aptus nutrients have really helped these girls and I think they also myself are so happy too use these nutrients they really are effective and simple too use 👊💪 Stay blessed 💚

Things are going great. These girls are getting nice and frosty. They are so easy. And the smell! Oh she's heavenly! She's almost sickeningly sweet. I'm very excited to try this strain. Last year I was more on the Indica dominant bandwagon, since I use Kratom during the day for pain management. But my obsession with CBD Blue Shark has me excited for more balanced hybrids. I've been having an issue with the quality of Kratom I've been getting from vendors so I may have to start in on wake&bakes, which FastBuds says this strain is perfect for!
