This strain is almost perfect, smell, look, resin production, bud structure, how little trouble she was in veg…etc…. even yielded really well for a smallish, bushy plant, the only thing letting it down was slightly lacking in flavour, flavour was nice don’t get it twisted but I had very high expectations because everything else was so good, and it fell short a little. I did cure some further for a few months and it was better. All in all I’d recommend this strain, another banger from Barney’s farm!

This girl has started to cath up a little bit she just is a little slower. She has some funky traits. 👃: smells of straight gas ⛽️ or kerosine. And is sticky to the touch of her stem no rub so mabye just s slower 1 or not big bud developer.

Buds Incoming & Balcony Patrol Engaged 🐾🌸 We’ve officially hit Week 2 of flowering, and the signs are now impossible to miss—pistils and early flower sites are popping up all over! After running 11/13 light cycle in the tent, I’m seeing the payoff: compact structure, steady stretch, and the first sparkling hints of what’s to come. 💡🌿 This week was all about keeping her supported during this crucial transition. Here’s what she got on her plate: Foliar Silica spray for strength and resilience 🌬️ A full round of Alg·A·Mic, Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, Top·Max & Cal-Mag 💧 pH adjusted to 6.6 using Bio pH- 🌡️ A fresh brew of compost tea followed by Effective Microorganisms two days later for that living soil magic 🔁 And honestly? She’s thriving. Strong posture, vibrant color, no signs of stress—and just enough stretch to let those future colas shine. I really feel like she’s found her rhythm now. Bonus moment of the week: My cat discovered the balcony and decided to join me for a little garden patrol. First sniff, first paw on the tiles—it’s officially a shared project now. 😺🌿 We’re stepping into bloom with style, strength, and a bit of feline approval. Can’t wait to see those buds start stacking! Stay tuned—this Red Hot Cookies is just getting warmed up. 🍓🔥

This plant has been developing slower than FBT2203 and 2205. I think this is genetic differences and has a lot to do with cooler air and soil Temps at the front of the tent. Amazing how much 1 or 2 degrees can have on growth rates. FBT2207 has caught up to 2208 and growth rates have taken off since I made adjustments to keep soil Temps above 15C. The floor of this shed is not insulated and it shows. Pictures are day 46 from seed.

First set of leaves were a bit light and what appears as some decent tip burn? Bucket was running hot on week two, but left it alone. She’s happy now that she’s starting to get the munchies. Most of the growth is looking decent. I’m going to top above the fourth node, and take the lower branches leaving 6 main branches to train. She’s topped but it looks like I will end up with 8 branches to play with. I may remove the bottom two?

🌿 Permanent Marker – Pheno #1 | Harvest Report (Part 1) (Week 13 From Seed / Week 9 Flower — The Tall Mama’s Story) ⸻ 🌟 A Gentle Apology To Start… Before diving into this week’s update, I want to offer a small apology to everyone following this diary. Because of the new file limitations, I once again had to divide the harvest and trim documentation into separate weeks. This pheno was massive, and naturally… she produced an unbelievable amount of media — photos, videos, details from every angle. So to avoid losing anything, here is Part 1 of her harvest story. Thank you for your understanding, and thank you to GrowDiaries for continuing to improve the platform. 💚 ⸻ 🌸 Harvest – Pheno #1 (The One Who Aimed for the Moon) If Pheno #2 was compact elegance, then Pheno #1 was pure cosmic energy. From the moment she started stretching, she refused to stop — tall, powerful, expressive, and full of character. And in the end? She delivered 249 grams of dry, cured, beautifully aromatic medicine. A true queen. What defined her: • Thick, dense, resin-rich buds • Rich coloration during late flower • Loud aroma that filled the dry room • A structure that felt sculpted rather than grown Even though she stretched to the stars, her bud formation was surprisingly compact and tight, even tighter than her sister’s. Different phenos, different personalities — and both extraordinary. ⸻ Drying & Trim (Narrative Summary) Pheno #1 followed the same journey as her sister: – harvested whole – hung as a complete plant – left to dry naturally in stable conditions – trimmed entirely by hand with scissors and fingers – every bud selected and shaped with care – stored and cured properly in Grove Bags Her weight settled at 249 grams after cure — clean, stable, fragrant. During trimming and curing, her personality truly revealed itself: Floral elements, deep sweetness, that unmistakable Permanent Marker sharpness, and an intensity that promises beautiful experiences. The volume of resin was immediately noticeable — sticky fingers and loud aromas from the moment the scissors touched her. ⸻ 🌈 Aroma & Expression Even before final cure, she was exploding with character: – louder terpenes than expected – thick resin presence – bold colors in late flower translating into rich tones in the final buds – beautifully clean burn and expressive flavors She truly embodies the lineage she comes from. ⸻ 🌿 Why This Update Is Split Simply put: she was huge — and I documented everything. With GrowDiaries’ new upload restrictions, it’s safer to do this in two parts than to risk losing files halfway. Part 2 will come next week, with the remaining photos, videos, and impressions from her drying and curing evolution. ⸻ 🏆 Dognabis Cup – A Little Reminder The Dognabis Cup continues beautifully. Growers are posting diaries, sharing updates, and supporting each other. If you haven’t checked them out yet, I invite you — the links are already added in the diary. Cup Deadline: January 31st Plenty of time, no rush, grow at your own rhythm and enjoy the process.

I loved every min of her. Shes is hanging to dry and will be trimmed and weighted as she dries. Cant wait to smoke her. She was so heavy in the end she needed yo yo hangers to have her supported under all her weight. I would love the chance to grow her again. Oh my god she is sooo heavy like wow i cant even with her. The rosin she produced is just fire. Lemons and vanilla and so heavy. I would grow her a million times over.

Topped this girl this week. Growing pretty good so far. I’ll be potting up to 3 gal pots next week sometime. I also have a Bison Brew that I’ll be using sometime after transplant.

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-18. Start of week 4. I have defoliated her and she got water and nutes. She is 17 cm high and have not start to stretch yet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-19. 2 new fan is installed in the grow room. Added pic and video. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-20. Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-22. The girl has recovered well after my massive defoliation. She is now 22 cm high. I accidentally lowered the lamp a bit too far down and burned some leaves on one girl. They have got water and nutrition today.

Day 14, Two of the Orange Sherbets are a little behind & the one I’m trying to pull back from nutrient burn.. So far the White Widow Autos by Seedsman have been doing the best! Day 17 two of the Orange sherbet are a little behind the rest of the plants but overall I would say everything is going good! Seems like the orange sherbet that had the nutrient burn is starting to bounce back! Day 19 They are all really starting to take off! Probably gonna do some LST tonight or tomorrow!

So many things have changed. My partner left me and took the left plant. I did more defoliation and performed lollipoping. It's a pity I couldn't do it a week ago. Hope they will grow much, I’m really scared of receiving popcorn.
