Last update for today but by no means least... Karen is now on day 107! She is still not ready but she is now foxtailing, presumably because of all the stress. I've been moving house so the plants and diaries have been badly neglected for 3 weeks. Two 9 day droughts, damage during move. Etc. For the last 3 weeks I have taken one cola off Karen each week to dry and smoke test. She is already stunning in flavor and potency. I am very excited for her eventual harvest.

Bare in mind peeps, I staggered harvested her and took the top half considering my grow space did not allow any light to the bottom half so I harvested half of the plant and have given it to my brother, where he has put her back on nutrients and the lower half popcorn buds are still thriving, even though she has endured 1 week of flushing and 7-8 days in darkness on no nutrients. White pistols are still propping up. The dry buds weight (bearing in mind I only harvested her top half) is at 85 grams! My grow cupboard measured at a height of 170cm/1.7m and a width of 33cm/0.33m BIG SHOUTOUT TO the community and especially @mad_scientist and @SpinnerCaribbean for continuously supporting and assisting me with issues I faced! Without you, this journey would have been a lot more difficult! I cannot wait to start my second grow but cannot commit to one considering I'm in my final year of University and currently knee-deep in January exams! I hope you all enjoy my diary and please do hit me up if you need any assistance!

FRIDAY 11/9: I rotated them and increased blue spectra for their 6-hour "nighttime." Added another 25w 15.0 UVB with reflector over them. Lowered all the lights about 2 inches. SATURDAY: Today was their last feeding. I went heavy with the cha ching, terpinator, bembe, and bud candy, and just a little big bloom and tiger bloom, plus calimagic. I'll let them dry out for a couple days and start flushing. SUNDAY: Rotated them and plucked some necrotic stuff. Need a close look at her trichromes, but all three of them are about ready to be flushed. Super stinky!😋 MONDAY: I took some photos and zoomed in on them with my PC..they are definitely ready for flushing. They'll be ready for a big clear drink of water tomorrow.👍 TUESDAY: Today, I douched all three remaining bloomers with a few gallons of ph'd water each and plucked some dead shit. I'm so glad this crop is almost finished! Can't wait to clean out the big tent and get it ready for the new crop. They'll start flowering any day now.. WEDNESDAY: I did nothing really except for taking a few photos and re-positioning the UVB lights a little.

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is behind me. I did a little defoliation this week, I honestly didn’t dare remove more leaves and branches, I didn’t know how they would react to it. Maybe I needed more? The temperature is still high, sometimes rising to 29, 30 degrees, but mostly around 28. Humidity in the air is an average of about 55% but sometimes rises to 60%. The problem is frequent rains this summer which creates high humidity in the air and this affects the humidity in the box as well. But plants tolerate these conditions very well. The flowers are developing nicely, and they have started to smell as well, but let the pictures speak for themselves. Green Gelato is twice as small compared to her roommates, but there is still a big crowd in the box. Gelato grew with very dense branches and spread more than it grew in height. The 120 x 60 box size is perhaps too small for three plants (two Hulkberries and one Green Gelato), so the real jungle is in the box. Due to the height of the Hulkberry in the box, and the spreading branches, it has become difficult to take them out every week for photography, but I am extremely careful with them. The Green Gelato has grown to 48 cm and does not look like it will grow much in height. Probably due to the excessive distance from the light, which I had to raise because of the Hulkberry which reached a height of 1m. 18/07/2020. - Day 30. Defoliation. I removed the leaves at the very bottom of the plant to make it easier for me to water them, after that I watered the plants but this time I didn’t put BioBizz, I just watered them with clean water. 21/07/2020. - Day 33. Watering. This time I gave them BioBizz, on schedule for the second week of flowering. I also added CalMag 1.5ml / L, preventively. While they don’t show they’re missing anything, I’ll keep adding CalMag. 23/07/2020. - Day 35. Photography and height measurement. Green Gelato Auto - Day 35. - 48cm That’s all for this week, see you soon.

In future I must take not that lamb’s Breath can thrive in cold conditions, but I am going to witness if the growth will accelerate or just level out with the coming of spring. Week 6 starts with a mild weather but in a couple of days a cold front makes land fall in Jozi and the last brought snow, but my babies survived and look at the love of my life, showing aggression when it comes to growth… I wonder if the transplant and the extreme cold will hinder growth, nature does miracles in front of us on a daily. She’s loving the compost mix, hopefully she will love her new home, if my calculations are right, all I have to do is only add nutrient only when I defoliate. The amount of nutrients in this medium is boardline toxic.

This plant literally outgrew a 4 by 4 at 87 inches tall I had the light at the top and quickly realized I had to toss her in the greenhouse about halfway through her life. Super happy with the size of it 43 inches tall exactly. Not sure if shes gonna stretch more but lmao the biggest auto I've ever grow. Mad respect to ILGM genetics right now. Check back next week to see how much her buds swell! Remember it's always 4:20 somewhere once an hour every hour!!!!!!

Started week 7 with another topping. She looks a bit of a mess ATM as I have had to bend some of her arms a full 90degrees and do some funky leaf tieing to keep everything in shape.. Nothing snapped and she seems okay. I will see how she recovers in the next day or two. Re introduced grow to her feed. I shall check back in after a few days of recovery and try to get a better pic then the blurple ones I managed earlier. Day 48 She is so strong. The topping did not bother her showing 3 cm of growth the night I topped her.. I have cleaned all old fan leaves and defoliated the mainlines. Just have 8 colas atm. I attached a ring from a plant holder to try and hold the shape. 7 of the 8 colas have grown exactly where I wanted but 1 has taken a funny turn and as a result it's grown a bit short of where I need it. I shall try to bring them all to a uniformed height then I think I'm going to let 2 more nodes grow out and if that looks like it's given me enough space I will do the final topping for 16 colas. If she looks like it will be to busy I shall stick to 8.. Thanks for looking stay safe and happy growing.😁👍🤘

The temperatures, humidity, 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. Day 1 we had sunshine and clear skies until the afternoon. We had clouds roll in and about 4:00 P.M. a severe thunderstorm hit. There was high wind, heavy rain, and grape sized hail. Fortunately the hail lasted only a few minutes. Day 2 we have clear skies and sunshine. The temperature is mid 70's. Day 3 we had rain and thunderstorms through the previous night and into the morning. We had sunshine, clear skies, and temperatures in the upper 70's. That was followed by severe thunderstorms, rain, and a touch of hail from 4p.m. to 6p.m. These were topped and had thr bottom nodes removed. Day 4 we had relief from the rain. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 70's and lots of sunshine. We have a few days of sunshine in the forecast 🙏 Day 5 we had lots of sunshine and clear skies. Highs in the upper 70's and 49% humidity. We needed the dryness. 🙏. Day 6 we had clear skies and sunshine. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 70's. Day 7 we had partly cloudy skies and temps in the middle 70's. This week was a success. The plants doubled in height and thankfully didn't have any serious damage from the hail.

Helllooo, schönen Sonntag und 4. Advent euch =)🎄 🌱 Wochenupdate Es läuft weiterhin alles wie geplant =D Jetzt, wo alle größeren Maßnahmen durch sind, ist der Run deutlich ruhiger geworden. Aktuell steht alles unter dem Motto Monitoring, ich nehme lediglich kleine Optimierungen vor =) Die 4 Genetiken beginnen deutlich unterschiedliche Morphologien zu zeigen, und ich liebe es 😍💚 Verschiedene Grüntöne, Blattformen, Harzbildung und Wachstum, geiler Scheiß =D 🔥 Bin so gespannt, wie es in Full Flower aussehen wird 🌸 Das Einzige, was mich etwas stört, ist, dass das Canopy unebener geworden ist, als ich es mir erhofft hatte.. Mir war klar, dass es ein frommer Wunsch ist, komplett even zu bleiben, aber dass es doch so holprig wird, habe ich nicht erwartet 😅 Da die beiden pushy Ladies auf derselben Seite stehen, sollten die Lichtverhältnisse trotzdem im gesamten Canopy weiterhin im akzeptablen Bereich bleiben =) Rückblickend war ich beim Sorten auch einfach zu ambitioniert, was mir jetzt ein wenig in den Hintern beißt =D Mir fehlen freie Meshes, um wirklich noch flacher zu führen. Sonst bin ich bis hierhin super zufrieden und freu mich einfach wie ein kleines Kind jedes Mal, wenn ich meinen Kopf ins Zelt stecke =D💚 🌿 Pflanzenstatus & Training Overall habe ich jetzt Ende der Woche nochmals funktional unter der Canopy entlaubt, um eine gute Luftzirkulation aufrechtzuerhalten 🍃 Über der Canopy entferne ich weiterhin selektiv nur Blätter, die beginnen, Schatten zu werfen, nach innen wachsen oder sich übereinander legen 😊 Blueberry Cupcake ist vom Stiel bis zum Ansatz voll mit Trichomen =) Sie sieht jetzt schon echt heftig aus 🔥 Ich bin leider ein bisschen erkältet aktuell – das nächste Mal gibt’s ein Geruchs-Review =D Purpz ist gleichauf mit BBCC, würde ich sagen 😊 Dasselbe Maß an Trichom-Bildung, etwas weitere Internodien-Abstände und an den Blättern sieht man die Sativa-Genetik durchkommen =) 🌿 Auch jetzt schon wirklich ein Hingucker, finde ich 😄 Notorious THC ist von den Blättern eher in einer Indica-Richtung unterwegs. Raue, pralle Blätter mit ausgeprägten Adern 💪 Musste hier echt erst mal mit anderen Runs vergleichen, um sicherzugehen, dass das so auszusehen hat =D Trichom-Bildung hat hier auch eingesetzt, aber aktuell noch eher unspektakulär konservativ 😊 Um den Ansatz und leicht auf den Blättern, am Stiel nur minimal 🌱 Guzzlerz entwickelt sich auch wie sie soll, hängt nur nach wie vor echt hinterher 😅 Sie hat schöne kleine Blütenstände, die Trichom-Bildung hat bei ihr allerdings erst begonnen. Bin echt gespannt, was da noch kommt =) Aktuell wirkt sie einfach zart 💚 Und trotz allem bin ich auch einfach wirklich glücklich darüber, dass ich das Projekt dann eben mit einem Nachzügler wie geplant starten konnte 😊 ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten die Lösung weiterhin =) 1,15 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt EC 2000–2100 µS/cm 1000 PPFD Danke für eure Zeit mal wieder 😊 Schöne Weihnachten 🎄 schöne Feiertage und lasst es euch gut gehen =)💚

Hi everyone :-) The smell that goes through the tent is a dream 😍 What should I tell great this week. Everyone is wonderful, the back row with the Vitcory Kush F1 are ready in about 3 weeks, and will be washing up in the next few days. The middle blooms nicely in front of you, the front row just starts to bloom 😍. I wish you all the best and let it grow 😎
