Day 45. Plants have grown huge in last week. Tallest one about 65cm. At its closest point the light is 6 inch. The bud sites furthest away are about 18 inch. Trying g to even out the canopy with some success. Just using the string method of LST and also moving the pot around to get an even amount of strong light.

Today October 25th is the First day of Week 6 In Flower. Received the Refractometer and got right to pressing. First I tried a mortar and pestle to extract the sap -- this worked ok but took a lot of time and force. Then I tried 2 spoons held together and squeezed with vice grips (didn't work for me). 2 Pieces of MDF board squeezed together with vice grips didn't work either. I guess I'm not strong enough. Tried a blender, a hand blender...neither of these worked! Then the vice, it was faster and took less force to extract the sap. Works great! Took leaves from top to bottom of each individual plant. (16 plants) Rolled a few leaves up, put in a numbered piece of parchment and pressed.....voila...sap😃 Refractometer was already calibrated and ready to go. Placed sap on meter, held up to light and there it is! My first BRIX reading😮 using $28 Refractometer. Going to change base nutrients to a "hard water" formula. So impressed with Harley Smith that I've ordered some NPK RAW products. Like the idea of micro dosing. I sent Harley an email and he replied the same day! Not a canned response either. So cool. Thanks Harley! AND he took a look at GrowDiaries and this grow✊😃 What a kind gentleman. 😇 Hope I didn't go overboard but I watered again today with amino acids and cal mend to try to fix this Calcium def. Will Brix leaves tomorrow and see if this makes a difference. The brix line yesterday was very clear and very easy to read indicating a calcium def. Maybe locked out from too much phosphorous or hard water? Watered Oct 29 & 30 Temp 20 PH 6.4 EC 1.9 Runoff EC 1.9 to 2.3 after at least 2-3 Gallons of water put thru each pot. Some pots Runoff were way off the charts😵EC 3.6! . Put water thru until EC hit 2.3 on 2 pots others were EC 1.9 to 2.1. Put 56 Gallons or 220L thru plants over a 2 day period until I reached a better EC.

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito. Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias. Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar. Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza. Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

Day late on the update, pics/vids were taken on time tho just been a crazy week of harvests and trimming and keeping up with these. I linked up with Rain Science Grow Bags on Instagram and got them to offer all my followers and friends a discount of 10% off entire order from their site with the code ' bangdang ' so if anyone is in the market for a pot upgrade use that code. I got them in the mail 3 days after I ordered. Reason I went with Rain Science is because they offer identical air flow for rapid growth as the radicle bags, just using a different material and a tighter knit so water doesnt flood out the sides during feeds and when you pick these up when the coco is dry, it wont fly all over the tent like with the radicles. They're the optimal bag for autoflowers especially. I figured out why the one stayed so short compared to the others, the base of the stem did a 360 so it's like a loop then it grew vertical.

*Here is a link to video on the Harvest. https://youtu.be/aZUOrljaioc 9/23/23 - Day 114 - Today was going to be the Chop, but I will wait one more day. I was not able to dedicate the full time I needed to make this happen today, so I decided I would give it one more day. One thing I am noticing is the color of the leaves. I've always wanted to grow a strain that has purple in it, and it looks like this plant turned super purple. I couldn't tell because of the lights. 9/24/23 - Day 115 - I'm 2hrs away from chopping. With the Leaf box, you have to stay on your timeline, No rushing it, and no waiting. Always right on time. I started the grow at 3 pm 115 days ago so from 3 pm - 3 pm is a full 24/hrs. I'll update after 3 p.m. I already have my tripod, tools, cleaning materials, etc., up and ready. We will drain the water, ill then remove the roots and clean out the tub. Then, I'll start to remove the branches one at a time. Once they are removed, I will then get the hanging supports in place. Then I will hang them upside down and hope there is enough room. :) I've noticed I have a lot of views on this grow. One thing I feel I should do a better job of (based on all the messages I received) is documenting the process that I follow throughout the grow. So I'll start my next grow in November. I'll document it with better "this is how I do this in Leaf" type details. 2 hours and counting! See you at 3 PM! 9/24/23 - I started at 3 p.m. and finally finished around 9 p.m. Holy shit, am I tired...... I have a lot of pictures and videos to upload. I'll add some photos tonight with some videos to follow tomorrow. I don't know how much I have yet, I need to wait until I can jar them to weigh them. I was able to get all the buds off and hung. With a couple of bags of A/B stock (Snicklefritz) of leftovers that I didn't want to hang. In just the Snicklefritz, I had 219g of wet buds. Ill know the full dry amount in a couple of days. I was REALLY happy with the amount of buds. There were more than 75 branches of bud to hang/dry. Its the most weed I have grown ever. Now that the buds are all back in the box. The Leaf box will handle all of the drying process. It will maintain temperature as well as humidity. I now wait and check daily to check for dryness. Here is a link to video on the Harvest. https://youtu.be/aZUOrljaioc 9/26/23 - The buds are way more dry today. Im getting some really nice citrus smell from them. I think one more day should work before I start putting them in jars. I already trimmed them. Its a prefrence on trimming before/after drying. Becuase I had so much I wanted to make sure there was enough air space. This is my first grow in this box so this will be floor, theres no where to go but up from here. Im hoping to finish out this journal in September with a final weight.

Really sweet smell from this one! For now its my favorite plant from all 4 of them💪

Leaf striped this one early Comping my Runtz muffin gonna Leaf strip on Week 2 Flower

🌱Day 36. Start flowering.💚 🌱Day 38. Keep watering with clear water. Super soil working well.💚 🌱Day 40.💚 🌱Day 42.💚

Compost tea turned out well and if your curious about the microscopy, check the comments on my GMP grow. No signs of senescence yet so no feed needed, they are in a second run of the same soil so there should be plenty in there from before. Not very resinous or smelly, with weird wide stumpy buds. Definitely my least fav pheno of any plant I've grown so far, but it's the end product we're after so she may yet surprise.

I hit it with a top dress last week after i posted: Top Dress: Earth dust 2-3-6 boost 2 cup per plant Down to earth 4-8-4 1 cup per plant 20g w-20 wollastonite 20g epsom salts 4 cups black kow manure compost Then i watered with molasses water. Day 21 is today and resin almost doubled overnight on the acapulco gold. Its getting white out on the leaves and looks so beautiful. I think the strawberry cough was getting bleached on the tops so i cut it back to about 60% and moved it up and will readjust once it heals up a but. still getting 1000-1200 ppfd evenly

Day 55: I have finally moved the girls inside the tent :) On 1 of the 2 girls I see some brown spots, and some yellowing and are thinking something is wrong here? I think it might be a Mag + Calcium Deficiency and I think I should up the PH a bit, but what du you guys think? The other girl looks healthy and fine, although I see some light-green color, but not too much. It might be a beginning of what the other girl is suffering from. I have not measured my run-off water for some time, as I am having trouble with my meter, and are falling back to the color-tester (drops) which are far from accurate. I also got my reverse osmosis system, and I now get 0.08 EC water. My water was 0.9 EC before so I'm happy with that. Also the PH has dropped from 8.5+ to around 7.0-7.5 so I think I am able to make a more stable PH change with acetic acid Thank you for all the answers!. I am now going for ph 6-6.5, and I have also increased the nutrients I use, as I am now using RO water. I am also setting up my lamp from Mars Hydro today, pictures follows tomorrow

3rd week - let's goooo🤙🏽🤙🏽 decided to use HPS only and it shows the result. So now devotchka is slow in grow for 1 week. but i believe that HPS will compensate this time. Started to add nutrients. Will use Biobizz by the end of harvest. In total I love genetics, girl is stable, loves her new lamp. Hope all growing will not face troubles any more. Have a nice week, guy! 😊

they are 2 purple afghan kush and it shows the difference .. the second one measures 130 cm and started its flowering process ... they always feed organically .. as well as only with fish tank water...

Week 10, the second week of flowering, has been a wild ride in our Tropical Tangie Ninja Run. Our girl is on fire! Talk about growth – she's become a bona fide giant, standing tall and proud. The canopy's like a green sea, and I'm thinking she might outgrow the room soon! I might have to sneak in for that defoliation before day 21 – let's see how ninja-fearless I can be! And guess what? Her fruits are stepping into the limelight, and they're like little works of art in the making. They're shaping up beautifully and in promising numbers. It's like she's a fruity ninja master! Now, let's talk numbers: Starting the week at a TDS of 300 and a pH of 6.1, things were looking balanced. But she surprised me with her super hydration skills – guzzling down 6 liters a day! So, as her thirst grew, I decided to amp up her food to 420 ppm. Yeah, the numbers asked for a little humor, didn't they? And let's give it up for my ninja buddies! They're on ninja-duty, keeping a vigilant watch over everything. The pH's sitting pretty at 6.2, ensuring the perfect conditions for our Tangie to thrive. And here's something enchanting: Our Tangie's always in prayer mode. Those upward-reaching leaves are like a constant reminder of her strength and the wonder of nature. Stay tuned for more thrilling ninja updates! Remember, every leaf, every prayer, and every growth spurt is a testament to the incredible journey we're on. Keep cultivating with love and passion, you leafy warriors!
