D43. The third week of flower starts, and the girls are rocking it in the tent. They are bushier than a 70s pornstar, and the first girl has doubled in height in the last week. The second girl is only now starting to go into flower, so I expect her to soon begin stretching. She isn't far behind in height, so I suspect she will eventually be taller. There are a few yellow tips on new leaves on the first girl. It probably won't become a problem; it is only minor so far, but I will continue to monitor it. I slightly defoliated the girls below the canopy to promote better airflow, but I will wait until the stretch is done before a more substantial defoliation. ------------------------------ D46. The girls are raging in the tent. The first girl has stretched over 8 cm in three days, and the second girl is keeping pace, although she still has yet to go into full flower. I'm concerned regarding the first girl, as new leaves at the top of the canopy are thin and displaying interveinal chlorosis. Fresh leaves further down look fine, as do older leaves. The stretch and the increased light might have something to do with it. We'll see. I checked the DLI; it was around 53, which is way high this early in flower. I raised and dimmed the light to a DLI of 48, which is still high but should be more appropriate. ------------------------------ D49. So, I have a tent-sized jungle on my hand. Three weeks ago, I nearly cut down these plants because they had a rocky start, and I feared they got stunted. I have no idea what happened since, but HOLY SHIT! These girls have blown up. The second girl stretched over 25 cm this week and turned into a beast, which is funny, considering she was the smallest one from day one. She will continue to stretch longer as she is only starting to flower. The first girl is further along and is showing proper pompoms and will remain shorter than the second girl. Still, I hope that the difference in canopy height will be manageable. I will clean up the lower canopy in the coming week. The first girl is ready to shave her legs, but the second girl still needs a few days to settle into flower. ------------------------------

elongated stems made me worry, but they only needed little support at day 3 I started spraying them every 2.5h with filtered water

For my second grow, I am OVER THE MOON!! I just yielded 16.1 ounces (wet trimmed) from a single lady in a small 23"x19" x 48" DIY tent. The strain; Mandarin Cookies v2 from Ethos Genetics, was very easy to manage and did not have any issues even in my small space. It was really difficult to determine the run time, it suggested 9 weeks from the breeder, I ended up going almost 13 weeks!! the trichomes stayed white

Finally harvested this girl at days 68. She is heavy. After cutting the ties, this girl just fell over from the weight! Very minimal larf! Even the lower bud sites are nice! Can't wait to see what she weighs once dry! First DWC grow was an overall success!

Day 50: Girls are looking great! 💪 A couple of them are a little further along than the others. Pistils are starting to change colors. PPM's going in are higher than runoff PPM. No change in the PH. In at 6.5 and out at 6.5.... Still have some rust spots. Still thinking that I need to dial in my light distance/intensity. Day 51: Got one girl that the issue of rust spots is not going away. Not getting worse, but just will not leave. Other than that they are still bulking up and looking beautiful. Can't wait to start checking the tric's! Using AN Big Bud for a couple feeds and MOAB for a couple of feeds. Have been feeding every water as my output PPM's are less than what is going in. Will keep this cycle until needed to flush or an issue occurs.. Day 52: No new updates. They still look basically the same as 5 minutes ago when I checked em!! 😂😂 Day 53: Went ahead and ran 2 gallons of PH'd water through them. This rust spot issue is driving me crazy!!! Will just use PH'd water for a day or 2 and hope that it stops! Day 54: Well, no new spots that I see. Probably too early to tell, but I feel better about it :) Day 55: No new updates today. Watered with Recharge. Day 56: The girls look wonderful and smell the same. Gave them a good defoliation today as they were extremely bushy! Thanks, B for the pointers!! 👊

So far I've done some LST to get some underbranching to shoot up and grow. Seems to be working. They've got some light feedings of Liquid Seaweed, Molasses, and URB. I've learned you have to feed light on this girl.

Harvest week for Auto Mintz arrived around week 14-15, with the two plants hitting about 90 cm and sporting sticky buds. The air carried a sharp, minty scent, and the trichomes had turned mostly milky with a few amber flecks – time to cut. Watering stopped a couple of days before, and on harvest day, the buds were trimmed carefully, yielding a modest but satisfying 140 grams dry from both plants. They dried over a week in a dark, ventilated spot at 20-22°C and 45-50% humidity, keeping their fresh aroma. It was a straightforward process with a decent outcome for the effort.

In week 9 my 'Fruity Terp' ladies have grown substantially and filled out the space in my HOMEBOX growtent. Therefore its time to do a round of defoliation. I take out my plants one by one and cut off the lowest branches on the stem (the ones not grown tall enough to get good light) and also the biggest fan-leaves (the ones shading the lower part of the canopy). The defoliation will increase the airflow thru my plants, which will in turn help to avoid mold from a build-up of humidity between the leaves. The light can now also penetrate deeper into the canopy now and therefore lower buds will also get more light and can grow bigger. The SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs are doing a GREAT job, my babies love their spectrum and intensity and grow like hell. The nutrients from BIO NOVA work EXCELLENT, all plants have a nice healthy green color. Since we are further in flowering now, I also add PK 13-14 from BIO NOVA following their 'SOIL-CULTIVATION' schedule.

Ok, so first week is finally here. First off I want to extend a big thank you to the brands Seedsman, MSNL, Exotic Seeds for sending CBG seeds and a big sorry from me for not being able to germinate them. I have made notes that all CBG seeds need a bit of special treatment, Living soils are not great unless they are aged well, and better to just start them in perlite, compost and coir/peat. stupid simple. Now the other none CBG seeds did fine in living soil, same with the herbs but some of the herbs also struggled and has low germination rates like the chives. No idea of the chive seed age as I have not grown them in years so this could be part of it. In better news some of CBG seeds have been replaced with a CBDv and THCv and regular CBD The THCv is a GTR seed vs a Kannabia THCv Seed, curious how these two will compare. Both are a 1:1 ratio of THC : THCv The CBDv is from GTR and the CBD is from CANUK, they sent it alongside the CBG as a "try this out as well" PS still rocking the hoodie, its nice and thick perfect for this time of year. SO onto diary updates, The seeds got their first transplant into smaller square pots at 3.5" vs mini yogurt cups, now I will wait for them to acclimatize into its new size and then transfer up to 1Gal when the time is right. Made a little video of transplanting them and took some extra photos of the herbs that are going strong. Also took a photo of 12hrs after transplant the the plants are looking nice still. I over watered them and let them drain to prevent a spike in EC in the soil. this way the soil can breakdown a bit more slowly and prevent any burning and such. The one THCv seedling I plucked out of one pot is going strong with the cilantro. I did this so their would only be one in the other pot, Will gift this to my buddies who need some plants. Also have some leftover CBDv CBD seeds that I started out of caution, they will be doing the same thing, going to buddies. I'm hoping my one guy takes em all as he was intrested in some of the different cannabinoids like THCv and CBDv and CBG The transplanted medium is amended with lots of stuff and Acti-Sol, the plants seem to do really well on this once they are established. I find topdressing with Acti-Sol is hard and does not work well so it needs to be added into the medium/pot before hand. Outdoors is a bit easier as the roots don't fill the pot to the brim, so topdressing is much easier. Once transplanting is over and they are in their final pot then they will get the liquid feed from the same company, Acadie :) Also first time trying out a Si additive into the soil. Using DE or diatomaceous earth, its now super available but should do the trick. I read studies about it on how adding it into the soil did increase SI content in the plant despite it not being readily available. The mineral wollastonite is a better option but I don't have any on hand. Weird that it comes from a Canadian mine as well. I think that's all, will comeback and update as needed. Fertilizer is going to be added in ml for the whole container not doing the math for what it is per L.

01/03 Just Flipped going to leave a MH for a week pr two to counteract stretch. I will stake and turn up the lights over the next couple days. They do not all feed the same. So some I will dilute 25%. 01/05 The pics do not do justice to how big these girls have gotten, so i busted out a measuring tape lol.

Bad news! TG1 got mold. I harvested immediately as she was the closest to done and to try to save the other plants from the same fate. Only one bud was moldy, I chopped it and turned it into butter, best decision ever I got so high. TG2 is looking good, smelling good. Just trying to keep humidity down and finish out this grow strong💪

07/10/20253 19:00 15.6°C 54%RH Another week with loads of rain passed,this time was so heavy that i waited two days of sun to come back and even if so i found the pots pretty full of water These days were so cold with nights under 10°C but the plants looks good so It's ok Forecast says next week will be fully sunny with no rain, temperature will raise to 24/25 °C during days which is aligned to my place in this period #1 Apricot auto 76 days from seed Last video right before harvest #2 gorilla z auto 102 days from seed Harvest for these branches too,i will update with smoke report and the final weight Smell Is super piney and pungent nothing about the z terps i smelled during the first stage of flowering,sadly vanished #3 Coco fresh 68 days from seed This plant won't stop surprising me,in a week the bud development was enormous with a nice coat of resin Even if this one started flowering later Is now officially outstanding the Coco Milk The smell Is unbelievable a 50/50 ratio of gassy and creamy flavour with a tropical candy hint like an original runtz,i can't wait to see how this comes out With these cold days leaves are fading to the blue/purple side What is surprising me the most Is how the flowers looks,full of pistils,full of trichomes,perfect calix/leaf ratio and dense medium/small size exactly what i'm looking for #4 Coco Milk 80 days from seed Flowers are now bulking a lot but the heavy defoliation and lollipopping seems to have pretty damaged this plant The smell Is so strong and noticeable far from the spot,flavour il like a gassy milk somehow fresh like a coconut and buttery like cookie dough I don't know honestly how many days i have to wait until harvest but this is definitively going to chop before Coco fresh #5 Just some hash i'm smoking right now ,always by anonymouz farm ,this one Is 90u which Is cheaper than a static but pretty enjoyable #6 sample joint of apricot auto i'm smoking right now,as you can see this one has an impressive amount of trichomes ,flavour Is the best out of the three autoflower and potency Is here,lineage says it'a heavy indica but i feel creative and uplifted with a little sedative side after an hour Probably this week i will come back another time as will be sunny,next week end i will update with the dry weight of apricot and gorilla z,buds are now drying at 19/17 °C and 53/52% RH which Is pretty near the perfection and will take 8/9 days minimum

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil spread evenly across the top of the soil. Daylight hours this week will be below 13.5. I can't use halves in the grow conditions, so I'm noting here. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 85°. Skies were cloudy all day. We had a huge thunderstorm with high winds roll through followed by heavy rain most of the day. I added another 100 ml of feather meal top dressed to each pot. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 90°F. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. I treated today with Growers Ally fungicide. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 94°F. The girls were thirsty. I watered about 6 gallons per pot. I really wet them and the ground under the pots. They're feeding on the runoff in the soil as they've rooted through the pots. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 94°. It felt like 102°F. Skies were sunny and clear. I watered about 5 gallons per pot twice today. The girls were super thirsty. I added 80ml Coop Poop top dressed. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 90°F. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered about 5 gallons each pot. Day 6 the high was 94°F with mostly clear skies. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. Then I watered in the evening about 3 gallons per pot. These girls are eating now. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 89°F. Skies were mostly cloudy to overcast. We had a lot of rain today so no need to water

04/01/21 So much power in these buds! Smells so strong in only a week! I’ve started to extract the popcorns and sugar leaves too now so I can make some more tincture and make edibles, I aim to infuse my own syrup this time too! Will keep you updated! Tastes like bananas and heavy vanilla aftertaste! Can taste the power in every toke and leave you dry red eyes and almost couch locked I say almost as I fell asleep passed out ahahah in the daytime so I don’t suggest if you work or plan to work with Machinery lol you will be in la la land Truly tastes and smells of bananas with a dank over tone proper fuel like diesel or stardog! Didn’t have to wait to smoke her and she hit me on the dome straight away and the chest within an instant could feel the power coming off of every blast! Could of done a little better if I scrogged but wanted to let these girls do their own thing and see how strong they get arbour support but I prefer scrog method it’s tidier and light won’t be blocked from any bud site! So next time I’ll be using a scrog! Check out my Instagram page for daily updates! Same name different platform lol 😉 see you there!

LAST WATER 6/4 6/5 The sun has been relentless and has caused some bleaching and burns on some older leaves. It seems that the gmos ate having the hardest time (except one). It's been extremely hot though. It's overcast and we are supposed to have thunderstorms and a few more mild days. Plants loved tje water yesterday. I hope it does rain. Plants are growing and seem to be surviving. Burns are on old growth. If I notice more I'll put my back tarp up which will block the sun in the afternoon and put them in shade. I wish I had done that earlier. Oh well. With what these girls have encountered and overcome I think I'll be OK. EDIT: IT WAS IN THE 80'S TODAY. PROBABLY HIT 90. I HAD TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED AND WAS GONE EXPECTING IN THE MORNING THAT THE THUNDERSTORMS WOUKD START. INSTEAD WE HAD A VICIOUSLY SUNNY HOT DAY UNTIL 4PM. AT 4PM SHIT HIT THE FAN AND IT RAINED SO HARD I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. I LIVE IN MAINE SO I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN INCLIMENT WEATHER. THIS WAS ANSOLUTE ZERO VISABILITY. I WANTED TO PUT A TARP UP TO SHIELD THE GIRLS FROM THE SUN BUT I WASNT ABLE TOO. WHEN I GOT TO THE GROW RIGHT BEFORE THE STORM IT HAD RAINED A LITTLE AND IT SMELLED SO GOOD. LIKE SOIL. I THINK THIS DOWNPOUR WILL REALLY HELP THE GIRLS. ONLY TIME WILL TELL. 6/6 Plants faired ok through the storm. The 3 earliest transplants and what WERE the nicest looking gmos are getting some burns and bleaching. It's all on old leaves though. I think they're pulling out of it and will grow through it. Some plants seem to not be stressed at all. With tje elements being the way they have I'm suprised they aren't far worse. I was going to put up my back tarp to block sunlight later in the day but I didn't. The burns are on the other sides of the plants and it's supposed to be overcast with showers for a full day. It's clear right now but the new growth and tops of the plants seem fine now. When I got there a few were limp. As soon as the sun came up though they all perked back up. Only time will tell. 6/7 Showers today. It's good to have a break from that horrific 80-90 degree weather with 90% rh isn't run for me or the plants. Plants are recovering from the burns quite nicely. Obviously the burnt leaves won't repair but they did a good job of shielding some of the others. Things are going. 6/8 Still overcast with showers. I removedc a couple burnt fan leavesxand accidently ripped off a bud site. 6/9 Another overcast day. Rained last night. Soil is saturated from all the rain we've gotten. Plants seem to be settling in nicely. The 3 GMOs that WERE the best looking plants are the ones in the worst shape. The got transplanted a day earlier in a lot of sun and wind. They're coming back though. I've noticed that after it rains and they get even a little sun they grow significantly. Those event horizons are tough. The toasted toffy is a reveg but it looks like its going to be a huge plant. I have the 3 seedlings still in small pots. I'll transplant them soon. 6/10 Overcast and a chance of showers. I removed a few bleached fan leaves on a few of my GMO'S that strain took the most damage. They are bouncing back though. We've had a few dayscof rain and milder weather. Few more days with a chance of showers then back to the sunny days. Plants seem to have come out of shock and out grown the light burn. After the rain, when the sun comes out they grow a noticeable amount. Things are still going fairly well. 6/11 Rained and I didn't do
