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.

Hi all , after a very long break to use up the supplies I had accumulated after the perpetual year growing autos , u am now in rapid need and trying to beat the UK powercut threats coming . I have been sitting on these seeds a while since @exoticseed gifted them too me many moons ago. I was not going to run a diary as it is a one off grow to resupply only and I hate quitting the site while not growing. I had themi n 18 hour days for 4 weeks instead of the planned 3 weeks veg troops. ( timer issue-sorted now). I did very little training as maxing the crop is not the driver for this run. I am not defoliating either as I want to use all those powerhouse , photosynthetic fan leaves to keep rhe lowers at least converting some available light. hoping for not too much popcorn at harvest so I will be moving limbs around to keep the light throughout the canopy. I did top and fim the ladies to stop them getting too lengthy and pushing the light height. The longer flowering cycle of these girls at 11 weeks was an oversight when I needed speed but I also know that long flowering allows some really nice characteristics to emerge in yields and budswell. I am using the dehumidifier now to keep the moisture around 40% max to avoid those fatty buds from attracting any mould spores when they get chunky. They are a berry cross so I expect a nice tang of a hit from them at harvest and cure but already they are really pushing their perfume main term smell. The buds that are forming are far apart at present but have a great potential to fill put with 6 weeks still to grow and the addition of the @shogun products I genuinely love using ,should give a good end result. The girls have behaved perfectly so far and shown no issues at all . They have remained that beautiful solent green that comes with mega crop use and really benefits the photosynthetic process and its continously cycle. I use my own blend of a living soil but have not re-enlivened it as it is a one off grow so cod not maintain the bio life at harvest time. I hope that everyone has endured the past 3 years of this madness called the world and that your growing has kept you sane. any comments appreciated and don't be afraid to be open and honest. we only learn when we make errors or work on limited knowledge. That's what makes grow diaries such a great app. have fun folks . be blessed and enjoy the pics and video.

WEEK 5 START OF DAY 29 ⭐️NUTRIENTS USED THIS WEEK⭐️ Front Row AG Si .5g per gallon Front Row AG Part A 2.9g per gallon Front Row AG part B 2.0g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Bloom 2.3g per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon FLUSH NUTRIENTS Canna PK13/14 60ml per 10 gallons GH CalMag 6ml per gallon End of week 5 I flush the plants with 1.0EC solution of Canna PK13/14 and CalMag. This is also done at end of week 2. I believe it kickstarts the flower phase and continues stalled growth that can happen at end of week 5 going into week 6. This week I am starting to see all around growth come to an end. I’ve implemented a trick over the last couple years that seems to work well. Along with the swell that takes place the last few weeks of flower we are gonna try and boost flower production a bit as well 😁. Thanks for all the likes and especially the comments. I’ve got a few huge shout outs coming the way of a few growers for next weeks update. See you then!

She had a mutant leaf but she kept on growing through it, it's a little funky still but not as bad as it first looked. She seems to be thriving now so all is good.

Well she has grown that's for sure. She needs to be transplanted to a bigger pot. Also defoliated... I will attempt this tomorrow. I need to acquire a bigger pot. Worse case scenario I use a 5 gallon bucket, and drill some holes. I'm switching to flower 12/12 this week. So she is going into a 15 gallon pot now and getting a good trim. Go check out Viparspectra products they have what you need. https://www.viparspectra.com/collections/xs-series/products/xs-series-xs4000 Use code, "GDVIP" for an extra discount.🤗

trichome development is coming along however I am worried that they might not make it until harvest. I will be starting 2 photoperiods along side 1 other auto on my next grow with suitable nutrients for my medium.

I had to go out of town twice for 5 days for a business trip. Minor errors occurred at that time. It's an easy genre overall. You should not be afraid of fertilizing too much. I'll be back with comments on taste, dry weight and feel. By the way, I'm waiting for your dry weight estimates, I think it will be between 145-165 grams.

Trying to keep the conditions steady. The seem to be growing faster, they really like the fertilizer. All 3 have 4 nodes, but the bottom true leaves seem to be dying. Might have been inappropriate ph earlier. Day 25: The plants started to smell, although it’s weak Day 28: The fifth node is developing nicely. I think I’ll top them soon, maybe except the little one. It doesn’t seem to be growing well so far.

Day 60 from flip for these girls and they're SO sticky and gooey it's kindof ridiculous. The camera just isn't doing it justice, and they're in bed now so no flash photos. The sweetness has really started to develop, and less vomit smell is most welcome - gassy strawberry apparently takes a while to get right, even with a fast strain.

She's doing nicely , hoping to see the buds fill out this next week. She's the biggest plant i've grown to date and there's bud sites everywhere, the gelato accompaning her is further on and will soon be having her last feed she is not drinking much at all compared to the zkittlez at 3 litres every day
