This baby actually snuck up on me being the first of 4 plants on my patio to be ready for harvest using trichomes as my guide. It took me roughly 4 hours to take the entire plant down and wash it and get her ready for drying. A bit longer than I expected since there's a fair bit of space between the nodes and it was fairly easy to pluck fan leaves. Been very hot and dry lately... although we are expecting our first precipitation since spring on Monday so it's not a bad time to get some harvesting out of the way. It will be a few days before this stuff is dry enough to process further, but I plan to give the dry trimmer another go. After further processing we can add in some weights. September 19 > I'm surprised that it's taken this long for this baby to dry to this point - but it's been a weird week with two bouts of precipitation that we don't normally see. Slow is better - but I have a load of herb stacked up behind this. Fortunately... what we call indian summer conditions are about to prevail drying things out further. I'm surprised how tasty my initial tastes of this strain came in... normally I wouldn't even consider tasting something this young, but after initial tests I'm sure I'm a gonna like this stuff. I had to de-bud the C&C completely to make room for Northern Lights which needs to come down tomorrow... probably followed another half week by Amnesia #2, and then there is Purple Berry Kush bringing up the rear guard. Gonna be a busy next couple weeks. Started trimming on September 23 and finished the next day. Final bud weight comes in at 269 grams for one plant (9.5 ounces). The bud size is not tremendous but the yield was substantial and will keep me and my friends rolling in CBD until next summer. I would have to say this stuff did not dry as fast as I'm used to for herb that I've washed after harvest. Initial dry seems to be around 50%. Lower than I like but I was trying to dry the herb out for use with the Dry Trimmer... but I'd have to say the trimmer still isn't performing up to expectations. I used the maximum number of rotations/spins and really tried to beat the herb up but she won the fight. I still spent somewhere between 5-6 hours trimming by hand after that fight. I couldn't really wait any longer for the C&C to dry further because I have other trees coming in behind her and I need the space. The amount of shake/trim generated using the Trim Bag was about 65 grams - the amount from my hand trimming was 3x that easy. Off to wrestle with Northern Lights... Amnesia 7 comes down at dawn. Busy time of year... but what would you rather be doing...? ✊ 😬

Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week both Raspberry Ripple phenos in the flower room, began to build their nugs! I was very impressed at how quickly they both began to form nugs, I noticed the flowering begining on day 11! The number 2 Pheno is looking average and she didn't fill out the trellis net quite as good her sister strain, however she seems to be going strong! The number 1 Pheno is really impressing me, it really filled out it's canopy and sports branches and a stalk nearly twice as thick as the number 2. It has also already began to form purple flower. Any pictures of the flowers that I've seen from this Mosca (x) Tiki Madman colab online, have been rich, purple phenotypes with chunky nugs; so I welcome the purple flowers. I suppose the increased anthocyanin production in the number 1 Pheno could be stress related, from the stalk split or the other accident it had in the veg tent, that knocked a branch off. However this plant seems very happy praying every day since the flip! So it doesn't worry me as much as it could! I went ahead and gave a little more top dress Build a Flower to get them through the stacking/ bulking phase. I prefer a "less is more" approach in the smaller pots im currently using so I amend less quantity but more frequently throughout flower. Ive got the lights up to 80% power (320 Watts) Stay tuned, I have a feeling these nugs are about to 🚀 Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The Number One Pheno's clones have all been topped. The Number 2's will probably be topped next week; when they are about 10-12 inches tall. I've been getting good branch growth on the number 1s since topping. I've still been alternating Silica by Cutting Edge Solutions and Microbe feed (Fish Sh!t and Trinity from Roots Organic) every other watering. My grow-bro who took a clone from one of each phenotype, has been reporting the ripples are going crazy in his full cycle mushroom naturally soil as well.

18.5.25: I watered with 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 780 I added the PK booster this feeding, just to provide some phosphorus without risking an excess. Next time, I won't use it. 23.5.25: FastBuds Mystery seed #1 is looking super frosty! The buds are still smaller than I'd like to see at this stage. I'm sure it's going to be fire 🔥 smoke. There just won't be much of it, unfortunately. She is getting close to being finished, so I have begun checking trichomes. At least another week to 10 days is my estimation. She was thirsty, and the pot was dry. I decided to add in a PK booster again. I watered with 3.5 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 785 SOLUTION TEMP: 30°C SOIL PH: 7 SOIL TEMP: 21°C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: 23-26°C RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 55% 24.5.25: I watered with Ecothrive Biosys 3ltrs each. The plants are still drinking at least 2 litres per day. They are increasingly thirsty, and it's important that I don't let them dry out. The soil is mostly coco and perlite, so it can dry out quicker. There are plenty of worm castings, too, so that definitely helps. The buds are developing and progressing very nicely, keeping up with the flowering nutrients and alternating between Ecothrive Biosys, Trace, and Greenleaf Nutrients. 25.5.25: I watered with 2.5 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.3 PPM: 840 SOLUTION TEMP: 30°C SOIL PH: 7 SOIL TEMP: 21°C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: 23-26°C RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 58%. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. Thanks for stopping by 🍃✌️💚🤞🌱😊

Black opium has done really well. She stretched a lot since last week. One of the 2 tops has grown taller, even though I've tied it down, but they are reaching towards the light, and the buds are developing quite nicely. So let's see what she can do! No water this week. The soil is still drying out due to fungus gnats appearing. I am getting some sticky traps, just waiting for tgem to arrive. There are so many, and it's definitely come from the soil. I am never using this again. Thanks for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments 😊💚✌️🍃🙏

28/10/2025 17:30 11.3°C 60% RH Time changed to 1 hour back during the last weekend so it's dark outside and i cannot go there before,also it Is fucking cold outside all of a sudden after some warm days We are at the very end of october and these plants looks awesome especially Coco fresh Coco Milk seems to have put a bit of weight so i decided to let her go another 3 days because the moon will be more than a half which Is pretty good Video #1 Coco fresh from below,finally frosting up Video #2 Coco Milk 101 days from seed This plant Is dying but i will continue her life even if i will find more bud rot sites The smell Is at his peak and she has almost no white hairs anymore Inside there is a bit of amberish trichomes but also some new trasparent ones The smell Is coming out more like an original girl scout cookies with a milky coconut twist,i keep saying she has a very strange aroma thinking It comes from a plant Next time will be the end i swear 😃 Video #3 Coco fresh 89 days from seed White pistils are fading fast and the trichomes production is reaching his peak The apical buds are just so heavy,starting to falling of his weight Very good smell finally showing,pretty similar to the Coco Milk but with a candy straight cali terp coming out more and more Almost no amber inside this one so i don't really know how many days i have to wait After the very first days of november a freezing storm will come from Russia and i can't risk anymore,maybe i have to chop before the perfect trichome ratio

NOTES: This will be the last week of flowering. Just a couple more days of flushing with the Final Solution and I'll harvest all of them before the end of the week. Then I'll hang them to dry in the same growing tent and start the drying and defoliating process. Overall everything looks pretty good and no bigger problems have occurred. Day113 (6.2.) Today is 64th day of flowering and 13th day of flushing. Day114 (7.2.) After my lights turn off today at around midnight, I'll take the timer and lights off completely and leave the plants in total dark for a day or so before cutting them off. Day115 (8.2.) Day116 (9.2.) Finally! Cutting the plants down this afternoon and hanging them to dry. So, the overall grow time from seed to harvest was 116days with 67days of flowering, with total darkness for the last 36hours before harvest.

Week 8 update (full bloom): The autos are now in full flowering mode 🌸 Buds are stacking well, pistils are everywhere, and trichomes are starting to show up. Stretch is nearly finished – now it’s all about building flowers. Nutrients this week: • Hesi Bloom Complex (base bloom) – plants are responding really well. • Hesi PK 13/14 introduced at low dose to push flower sites. • Athena Bloom + Athena Grow (light mix) to balance nutrition and keep a steady NPK ratio. • CalMag still in rotation at ~1 ml/L. • Silic Rock small dose for stem strength. • Total feed around 800–950 ppm, depending on the plant. Observations: • Canopy looks uniform and healthy – green leaves, no big issues. • Runtz shows the most aggressive bud growth – dense flowers already forming. • Amnesia autos a bit more stretchy, but flowers are catching up fast. • Mike Tyson slowly recovering from early stress, but now producing pistils. • Aroma becoming stronger – fruity and slightly spicy terps in the tent. Training: • Final LST adjustments to spread colas. • Light defoliation to open budsites and improve airflow. • From now on: minimal interference, just supporting the flowers. Plan: • Keep PK booster for another week, then evaluate. • Maintain bloom feed and slowly reduce nitrogen. • Watch trichome development – early frost is starting, but still weeks to go before maturity.

As you can see, our macro lens arrived, we were able to take several photos and see the trichomes, we had never seen them so close before. We also noticed that many pistils have turned brown in the last days of this week but the trichomes are clear yet. The smell is getting stronger, reminds us of fresh fruits, mango and a little citrus. We are excited, she is healthy and smells good, but a little concerned with the development of buds and if they are within the standards for this week. Despite having many trichomes and the pistils turning brown, we are not noticing a significant fattening of the flowers (correct us if we are wrong). hahaha, noob stuff =)
