Day 50 - Started week 8 with a nice drink of water and nutes today. She’s definitely a fat a bushy girl and looking like she’s finally starting to kind of bud up a little bit on the top. I’d really like to do a heavy defoliation but don’t want to do anything to screw this grow up. She’s looking like she’s gonna be a hefty beast when all is said and done. I just placed her back in the tent and tucked everything as much as I could. Day 51 - Everything’s still looking good and stretched another inch in the last 24 hours. She’s a very bushy plant and a shit ton of bud sites so I went ahead and clipped off a couple of the lower branches trying to develop that are just not getting to the lights. Day 52 - Not much to say right now, nothing much going on. She’s definitely gonna need some water tomorrow or Saturday. So I just took her out today to give her a once over and placed her back into the tent and retucked the leaves. Day 54 - She’s still chugging along and still stretching quite a bit each day. She was pretty dry today and definitely ready for some water and nutes. On advice from a friend, I added some molasses to the water as well, so we’ll see what it does for her. I’m ready for her to really start budding up but she’s not quite there yet. Day 55 - Nothing much new for this girl today. Just took her out and removed a couple of fan leaves and put her back in the tent and tucked the leaves again. Day 56 - The end of week 8 and can definitely tell this will be a longer grow than I’ve been used to. She’s drinking the water and nutes like a fish so will be giving her more tomorrow to keep her growing. She’s still stretching quite a bit, over and inch the last 24 hours.

Her leaves are spreading out and taking in all this sun. I am truly satisfied with her growth thus far. I will top her on the start of week 3.

A beautiful plant which develops without much effort. The only disadvantage is that it has extremely dense foliage, so you have a lot of work to do afterwards. Leaves also have to be cut out again and again. I will try this strain again, maybe with a better Pheno

Hi everyone 🤗 This week the two Kosher Tangie Kush were harvested by Amsterdam Genetics 😍. extremely good phenotypes. The blue cheese pheno 2 and 3 were placed in the darkroom according to the video. These were harvested yesterday, from which the pictures will come in the next update :-). All others need 2-3 weeks. I wish you lots of fun with the diary, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

Und sie wächst und wächst und wächst... Ich weiß gar nicht, wo sie noch hin will. Macht aber nix, die Nähe zur Lampe scheint ihr nix auszumachen. Seit dem 03. Jan darf sie jetzt auch das komplette Licht ganz alleine ausbeuten, da die beiden fast buds, wie der Name schon sagt ;) früher fertig waren.

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!! Hugs Bud!!! PS. Should you be interested in Shamanism or Teacherplants by anything I mentioned.

Final update: Very happy to announce that this dairy had won the sixth place best diary of August 2021. My prize came in yesterday and I'm very happy!! Thank you Growdiaries!! Thank you Fastbuds!!! Thank you all my grow buddies here for the love and support!! Hope to see you all, maybe at a future Growdiaries Meet and Greet? Wouldn't that be a lovely idea, per country and a yearly one on a different continent every year? The Growdiaries Conference. Would be a great Hemp growers fair... I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds

10/21: Harvest Day! I did a wet trim today and chopped her down. She will now dry in the same tent at about 60-62% RH. I was originally disappointed that i ended up with a runt. But she grew into a unique and cute plant. I dont think i could grow another plant that is almost entirely flower and just 3 large colas without having to work pretty hard in the training and flower timing. And so i am kind of glad that it worked out the way it did. I mean just look at her, she is photogenic as hell. The highest point in height was about 9 inches. The whole plant after trimming and being cut down weighed in at 6.02oz. Id guess that there is nearly an oz of dried bud here. I feel fortunate to not have dealt with any bud rot considering how this grew. I am not out of the weeds yet as that could still occur during the dry. Overall i am happy with this grow. It was fast as hell and resulted in a really cute little plant. 10/29: dried after 8 days. 1.16oz. I put it in a jar with a humidity pack and will cure. Might try a smoke from it in a couple weeks. It smells super fruity with hints of earth and skunk.

Very variable weather, summer is at the end, temperature drops quickly, even 60 °F. I was out for 3 days, on my return I found the three girls who were starting to wither but they were promptly watered. No damage to report. The yellowing of the lower canopy has started. Acceptable weather forecast until 10 September. I bought 5 transparent PCV tarps to protect them extemporaneously from the rain. My beloved Gorilla rocks! Buds are forming and filling very well, super sticky and frosty. Strong citron/bubblegum scent. This sativa-like pheno is funtastic, she is not very leafy, leaves are narrow so the sun penetrate very well through the whole plant. It remains to be seen how the buds will fill up and if my girl can disprove the reputation for "quality buds but low yields" . Let's see. Expected harvest September 3rd week.

The plant grows slowly in terms of flower size. However, the flowers are very resinous. Flowering day: 41
