For the Herbies contest - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/157348-grow-journal-by-dabbertglobberfield#gallery=6777378 - Grandmommy Purple is guilty multiple noise violations for being too loud and for stanky funk. Harvest - 169 days / 66 days in flower Well, we did it. I made it to the end. All I can think is...WOW that was A LOT of work. But I think I had very good results for a first time grower. I For harvest, we took Plant B and D and prepared them for immediate freezing. Altogether, I ended up with 1212g wet on plant B and 1089g wet on plant D. I ended up freezing 1816g of this. There was some from each of these plants that was set aside from freezing because, for whatever reason, I thought they were not worthy of washing because of how progressed the leaf damage was from the root rot battle. So that was cut up and dried as nuggets instead of hanging like the rest. Sawtooth and Plant C were both harvested and hung in the tent to dry for 12-13 days. I think I overdried by 1-2 days because when I jarred them they struggled to raise up to 55%. So I am using rh% packs. After drying Sawtooth and plant C, I ended up at 459.8g for dried flower and 170.8g in dried trim. So just over 1lbs between the 2 plants and 4.15lbs wet between the other 2 plants that was washed for hash. So... are you for real with the effort involved with washing bud for bubble hash? I don't think I would do this in the warmth. I only pursued doing bubble hash cause it's cold right now and I figured that would really help. Even in the 30s(fahrenheit) stuff would stick. It's hilarious how sticky of a process this is. I hope you have a bunch of gloves, water, and ice to burn through. I went through over 60 gallons of distilled water and 80lbs of ice to wash the 4 lbs. I am envious of people in videos using a hose to collect, clean, and refill. Also, doing this as a 1 person show is the definition of insanity. I broke the washings up into 3 parts. The first part was was the tester wash. I broke off 420g of plant D's 848gs available. I used 7 bags to see where I would end up. I used 220, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45, 25. What I determined was that if I was hunting a specific micron with a lot of material this would help find what you can get. But for the next washing I reduced the amount of bags to 4; 220, 160, 45, 25. The time, with the 4 bags, I washed with 809g. I had a much more favorable experience and return this second time but I had green fast and probably used too much ice. The 3rd wash was the remaining 631g and I found an extra 137g I added of sugar leaves and trim, brining the 3rd wash to 768g. I used 5 bags this time; 220, 160, 73, 45, 25. By the 3rd wash I have become an expert in collection but also never want to do it again. lol. 2 of the 3 washes have dried and I have 43.4g of bubble and 2.8g of dry sift. 37.4g of that bubble is able to be pressed into rosin. I will probably press that dry sift as well. The other stuff is 25u or 160u that I will experiment with or cook with. The other stuff is drying so I can't add it all in. I pressed a bunch of trim and some flower. The trim presses nice and the dab is decent. I am working out a good temp for the flower. But the problem with all these tests to find the sweet spot is that I have all these testers to go through but want to keep pressing and trying that! I think I will need to work on a better storage solution. I can't wait for the fresh frozen bubble hash rosin pressing... I have over 20gs of bubble to put in one bag. I am really looking forward to this. But I will need to work up to that pressing since I have never pressed hash/kief/bubble before in my rosin press. So this should be really fun. I will 100% post an update of the hash pressing once I do that and also after the 3rd wash session is done drying. In closing, saying I learned a lot from this grow would be an understatement. I fully expect to start it back up in a few weeks after some R&R then some R&D. There's some things I will need to work on before I start again, such as: having a single external reservoir that feeds multiple plants, hard to clog and easy to use ebb and flow system, miscellaneous final run stuff like space for drying. So thanks everyone for hanging out and perusing the photos and or reading all my huge rambling updates and thanks to those for the help along the way.

Day 73 ~ Plant 1 is looking great and hopefully will be ready to harvest by the end of the week. Been checking the trichomes and while most are getting milky white, there are still a couple sites on the plant where I find clear trichomes. Plant 2 seems to be about a week or two behind the first plant...I will give plant 2 their final Nutes tmrw and then begin to flush. From reading about this strain it seems like it should take around 90 days from seed to harvest. So I would think plant 1 is running a little ahead of schedule and plant 2 is right on time. Day 75 ~ Both plants looking and smelling amazing! I was hoping to be harvesting the first plant by this weekend, but she is still growing and her trichomes are still not all milky and I haven't yet to find an amber one. So it might be another week or so before I can start drying her out.

fungus gnat issue resolved with some Raid earth blends. Predatory mites deployed into the canopy to eradicate a 2 spotted spider mite bloom. Can't wait to plant this outdoors for the season.

Week 6 . These ladies have certainly got with it this week and all been busy root building. They have all hit the bottoms with ice thick roots , ready for all that food coming. The Gorilla Glue#4 has been pushing so many new growth tips it will be sad to strip them out again Wedding cake is similar with a lot of height gains ( but encouraged to stay low again with some stem bending and bruising/crushing. This should make it easier to bend them once in the nft trays. her growth tips are numerous now too. Ghost of is another matter altogether, she has been struggling to catch up and now has at least drawn level with a recent newer growing. I have ow stripped it back to the 3rs and 4th node but oddly there were no real paired nodes. She seems to be growing more like a clone at this point???. I know once they hit the nft pace they will fly so I am hoping to flip them at about week 8 so I can keep them managable during their stretch. Have a great week Growmies.

Week 6 Hi everyone 😀 So far this little grow it's a pure joy for me. No major issues. One of the girls aka "Nuna" it's a bit late in flowering. She was bit shy from the start and last week defoliation definitely did not helped her but I'm sure she will catch to others. All 3 looking very healthy and growth is still very fast. Still waiting for better flower development before apply any of the flowering nutrients. I have try this several times years back and results on yield were much better if flowering nutrients are applied later in flowering stage. Hopefully it works the same with autoflowers 🤞 Have a great week eweryone I will keep updating this week progress every couple of days. Thanks for stopping by Peace ✌️ 28/08 Day 36 Changed watering time schedule for the morning to keep humidity at night a bit lower level. During the 18h schedule humidity 50-55 at night up to 68. 30/08 Day 38 So far all good. Girls are growing still in rapid speed. I can tell this girl likes grow big leaves. I have just defoliate from the big ones just over a week ago and again back to the forest :) 31/08 Day 39 This morning soil was way too dry and need to poured almost 1 liter to each pot. From tomorrow 500-600ml per 24h. 02/09 Day 41 2 of the girls developing flowers very well and still growing in rapid speed. Noticed that 3rd girl having issues to switch to flowering. Noticed some nutrients deficiency on 3 leaves. Using spring water for watering and must be to soft on calcium and magnesium. Have little hope that calmag will have this sorted. Started blooming nutrients + fish shit from today 03/09 Day 42 It's seems that slow develop girl started flowering :) not sure but possibly new nutrients and lowered humidity helped. Did some defoliation from bigger leaves on 2 better developed girls. It's the end of the week 6 Stay tuned for more updates on following week. Peace ✌️

Well as you can see I'm playing with these ladies a lot now ..They are both on week 7 the smaller CBD was just put into a bigger pot and will be stretched out a bit then left to reach right up for the sky not looking for big gains with this one but we shall see.. The blue cheese she is my baby and living the good life .. she has been trained nicely and will be left to go straight up as well as with in reason I do have neighbours .. The team at Dinafem were my first plants to ever run and I've been running them ever since love the genetics so much

My A/C has been not really working and it’s getting in the 90s outside not sure if it’s stunting it but have been trying to keep as much airflow as possible I have a fan below and above the canopy and the inline on 6-7 with no carbon filter or ducting right on top of the tent hoping it will be enough o keep the mold away

Cada día falta menos, empecé a reducir los fertilizantes y próximamente se viene el lavado de raíces, los planes están en cortar los cocos principales y bajar la lámpara para que los cogollos mas bajos completen su maduración. No pude con la manija y me saque un coquito para ver como van, parecen bañados en azúcar jajaja

Los dos fenos tienes cosas en común, pero el dos es sin duda más especial, me gusta más por los terpenos y la cantidad de resina y la calidad de esta. Otra para mi coleccion de madres.

Removed all lower fan leaves and fan leaves from bud sites to maximize yield. Hoping it wasn’t too late for this but seems to have reacted positively.

Began light LST training. Have lightly fed with fox farms grow big 1 tsp per gallon and 6 top per gallon of big bloom. This Strain has a moderate skunky odor already, pleasant smell. Last day of week 3. Amazing how much odor this plant has at such a young age, love it! Growth has really taken off past couple of days. Will be continuing LST, going well so far. The auto diesel plant is still finishing that I harvest the top of already. Surprisingly has gained quite a bit of size in these lower buds. Looks like this should be harvested in 3-5 days. Have a few upgrades showing up soon. Ac infinity pro plus controller is shipping on the 20th. New humidifier that I can run behind the grow room wall and direct output hose into grow room. Diamond mylar to not only clean up the look of the room but to better reflect the light back to the plant and help eliminate any shadowing. Included a video of the rooms current state. Will also be making a change to the flooring after this grow. Room has been really solid and staying consistent and easy to control. Everything is basically running itself with intervenes.

I touched one of the leafs with trichomes on it. Smells VERY citrusy/lemony/fruity. Very excited for this strain! Buds are very solid. It's a hybrid with Durban Poison X Rainmaker (Citral Skunk x Mandarin) x Gorilla Glue #4.

Hi everyone 🤗 Like the last few weeks, it has developed very well :-). I am still considering whether to repot them again or leave them in the 11 L pot and put them in the flowering tent for the next 14 days 😃. I think I will leave them in this pot and then I will switch 👍. I'm curious to see what kind of bush she will be in the flower tent, and hope she leaves the other women some space 😅.

The strain was easy to grow. The autos were topped and suppercropped. Along with lst. Amazing yeild for my first grow. Almost a pound with 300w led. Trichomes were hard to read and took forever to turn. Went for 17 weeks from sprout. Didnt flush as long as a wanted so curing is my focus rn.
