Well this was quite an experience, from the nice box the dutch passions come in to the germination , vigours sprouts came about, and took well to transplant. Potted each of these into their own soil and peat mix, layered seven of each i think with perlite. they got CELLMAX soil, best soil I've ever used for sure, it's horticultural soil so it's been steamed meaning no pollutants and no pests. The room itself this time i had reworked a bit, still loads of bends on the tubes though, but had a proper intake this time with a fine mesh filter so nothing got into the room. Had the pots elevated only by the time flower came around same for the CO2 so I only had a few good weeks with it. Didn't kill the plants though, so I'll review using it in my Six shooter diary, check it out . Anyway these plants veged out , and in the first weeks had the light too high for how strong/weak it was (it's crazy how close you need to have it actually!) and the little seedlings stretched some, so I LST'ed all of them. They all took to LST really well actually. The biotabs plant was the first one to sort of musle through her bindings, and i ended up feeling sorry for it and removing them thinking the bend was mostly done anyway. It didn't help that this was a corner plant and I just didnt really have access to it as nicely as the others. Anyway the LST wasnt done though and the plant fully redressed showing only a little bend towards its base at harvest time. The Mr. B's showed the best results on LST. It got bent 90° then grew out but managed to stick it's main cola out just in time i guess, so it had several mains maybe 3 maybe 4 and several side shoots. The Vertafort one took to LST the worst of the three (through no fault on vertafort's nutrient's part!) It basically got bent 90° but got held down too much by the bindings , and being a corner plant simply it got less light the whole grow, being overtaken by the other plants in the tent. Through veg though these grew to nice busheles, each in their own style, pushing out fat indica leaves , mostly being kept at appropriate VPDs. Note that the temps i've recorded are for maximum temperatures hey ! Anyway it I ended up with an uneven canopy by the start of flower stretch due to the different LST styles and the different growth rates, the vertafort one being basically stunted. During flower stretch these stretch ! lol doubled in size at a steady rate I can tell because the biotabs one was basically no longer LST'ed right? Anyway way blueberry styles not so much auto gsc styles that much I can tell you. The longer side colas a great too, they're much longer than the GSC's side colas and they have two or more flower nodes more each. By week 4 of flower the Mr. B's started to look pro, with a nice canopy and several distinguishable mains sticking out from the bush. The vertafort one was a corner plant so I just paid less attention to it - too bad for me ! Anyway the flowers themselves started to emerge with a calyx to larf ratio of 1:0 for the biotabs ones, and I started getting stoked. I could already tell from the squeeze that these would be nice and dense nuggy nug nugs just like I like them. The Mr.B's one was different though, the flowers grew all up and down the colas like they were all filled up. The sugar leafs themselves were like non-existant on Mr.B's but long and thin on the Mr.B's. Then the stacking began, last quite a while to finish up and rippen, i'd say from week 8 through 13. The trichomes reached out, filled up some, curled, in and were full white. I noticed some amber trichomes and it was time for the chop ! Throughout the grow I tried something new. From joining GD on my first grow I got loads of goodies from @Mrs_Larimar with the Mr.B's nutrients - thank you so much ! - and the biotabs contest , plus the Vertafort that came with seeds from the folks at Zambeza, Zamnesia, and RQS , all of these were dry nutrients, and I got those micro nutrients from my friends too. Great experience using dry nutrients, much more affordable on the whole, easier to measure too. That didnt stop me from messing up a few measures though ! So For most of the grow I planned to add my own micro. I had four micro powders made. One green one for early veg with all the "rare metals" in it at 2% , a bio cal mag, white powder for veg and early flower and a cal mag and mag sulfur I meant to use during flower. So I ended up giving a quarted dose of the organic cal mag most of the time then in flower still had them on a quarter dose of cal mag sulfur before i realised and switched up too late. My whole micro line up i think would cost 10 dollars retain and I had plenty of it left over i think it should last like 4 grows. Not that I'll use it again unless i can get a steady supply - a the travails of the underground micro nutrient market. Worked great though, pH neutral, i used it as spray too, next time I'll mix in humic acid directly in the same feed, because why not and because I would have massively helped. Sometimes in flower i used only calmagsulfur and maybe I didnt mix it in very well but i would dump everything on anyway , a couple time I would check after water and the clumps had formed like 3 inch crystal formations on the top of my soil... Anyone ever seen that before? maybe it's a good sign idk, i usually tried plain water to dissolve them asap. The biotabs worked great on the Colorado cookies though, that much I can say, no excesses of any sort detected, leaves weren't too dark green at all. Mr.B's turned out a BEAST , but that could be from the LST aswell... the vertafort one ended up being a very healthy plant that never lacked anything either. Around halfway through flower I started traing the colas upwards where they were drooping on the biotabs plants and the Mr.b's plant, glad i did because i think plants like to make colas going straight up right? Chopped these at the top of week 14 which is 95 days from the moment i dunked them into the water kept a calendar which I'll show you. Hung to dry for 10 days, then jarred with the 62% boveda, burped inspected daily for a week, then weekly for two weeks. I weighted what I kept lol , no small buds this time, finally my grower dream realized ! So happy i got two (maybe three phenos) because I loved the flowers on the biotabs but I also loved the yielding of the LST'ed pheno. Plenty of wasted cola space though if I'm honest, should have defoliated more, maybe done that just at the edge of veg or something, maybe next time I'll try to flux like @silky_smooth so I can keep them in veg longer and make me a couple beasts. Had to travel to for two halfway through, so what I did was to put perlite in the trays, get the pots off their grills and onto the perlite then i bottom fed plain water, the idea being that the perlite would keep the water from evaporating from the trays too quickly, just as i was loading up the trays , the nex day I saw three thrips but they were flying all wierd and all strange so i thought maybe the airflow was f-ing them up ... and i had to leave anyway. Got back and the pots were bone dry but the plants hadn't died, and the temps were way up. I think the remaining perlite absorbs heat... Anyway started top feeding them again but by this time they were showing signs of stress especially the biotabs one, the mr.b's kinda recovered, and the vertafort was healthy enough it just looked like a bit of magnesium issue. May this could be a good technique for other folks to try. Like i said the perlite might absorb heat, so remove it when you dont need it anymore (i had issues with heat). Over all these gens are yielders, had some of my best work in here, and some less good work. I like having been able to use the GD platform as a companion app, was great fun really. it's great to be able to put all your pictures up and see them side by side, i tried to keep it organised so you and I can see some interesting things like the "three stages of LST" and other interesting nuggets of info. Speaking of nuggets I'll try to get some more and some better pics of the nugs in. Hope you'll visit this again 🚀 EDIT: made some bubble hash for the first time, grower's priviledge ! only used the stems stalks and leafs for it, and it came out really delicious, smells like perfume, burns like incense and tastes like vanila and spices/hash lol basically used some bubble bags , rand the water through once, got negligeable 120s 75s and 45s but got some 25 quite a lot. ran it again, same results with just about the same amout of 25s, i thought i could go a third one, but got negligeable everything lol. Two passes for whatever that is in bubble hash lol, it's still got to dry for another week - bubble hash is kinda of the grower's priviledge, definitely recommend doing it ! 🚀

Welcome guys Here we are finally at the reviews of this strain from seed bank Barneys farm, called UTOPIA HAZE I must say that I enjoyed cultivating it 🙂🌱 The plant didn't bother me too much, it was pretty good.. It lends itself well to cultivation in scrog or in any case practicing lst 👌 It also reacted very well to more than one topping.. Honestly, as you can read through the various weeks, at the beginning the intention was to limit yourself to a single topping, so as to obtain 6 big final buds.. "Unfortunately" ,sometimes, I vape too much weed and end up doing some bullshit 😓 Indeed As you can see in week 9.. Accidentally, while cleaning the growbox, I broke a branch of the plant.. At that point I decided to toppinf all 6 of the main branches ✂️✂️ From here, another 12 were born, plus other smaller ones that were already present, took on strength 🌱🌱👉🌳 In the end the buds were and are practically all the same size, the main ones And very full of fragrant resin 💯🔥 The scent has fruity and earthy tones with hints of haze 🍊🍋🍭 I believe it is the most indicative phenotype towards this 🙌 And honestly, the fact that haze notes don't prevail makes me happy, because in the long run I don't really appreciate it.. But I love the structure of sativas and can't wait to grow a serious one.. Anyway The effect is quite balanced between a mentally socializing high, but with a relaxed physique 🧘‍♂️🗣️ Also excellent for sports🏃‍♂️🚵‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ Obviously better vaporized 👌👌 But as you can see in the video, I always do a smoke test to evaluate well 😎 And this produces a lot of oil, as well as having a fairly white-ash.. The test and photos are just over two months after the cut 📆 For more info on this cycle, I invite you to scroll week by week where I wrote down everything I did, I hoped and I believe the best 😉 At least of my abilities.. And that's all ganja lovers 💚 I thank everyone for their support and appreciation : 1:: 1:: 1: Great genetics as always Barney's farm 🌞 And thanks a lot to Grow diaries for this space 🙏🙏 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

Очень высокие растения, все место занято, а они все растут и растут хотя должны уже расти не вверх а в ширь :) Ожидаю что растения наконец начнут набирать массу :) одна девочка лидирует, остальные пока отстают. Высота растений 1 метр, кроме одной малютки которую пришлось поставить на ведро что бы солнышка больше доходило. Поставил угольный фильтр и он работает на ура, запаха нет, только в самой комнате

Day 21, doing some thinning. The little runt pheno in the front looks like it was barely touched from the top. I'm going to have to wait a couple days for the weekend so I can get the rest.

This was a strain I’ve had my eye on for a very long time and happy to say I have now fully experienced her from seed until harvest ! The ladies were harvested on Day 58 of flower and were hung to dry. Very easy to grow, not sensitive to anything and likes it a bit dryer in her pot. Beautiful plant to look at while in bloom - completely covered in trichomes and lots of beautiful calyxes While in flower she smells of fresh fruit and and very pungent. After dry she smells of cheese, earthy and peppery. I would love to send her off for some lab results as the effects tell me she is high in thc! Will definitely grow her again :)00
