Critical x Animal cookies Is just growing into her nutrition. I was running a little strong from beginning. I took the first leaves off as they were damaged pretty bad. She should be ready to go now. She has been growing under the Hortibloom solux 350. I pruned the tips on roots to keep them spreading wide vs down. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

I was told these seeds are feminized. Also the strain is unknown.

OK this was my 1st grow and I set everything up went through all my controls and away to go ... wrong after pre flower came I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting these ladies to flip.... So I went through everything with runoff feeds Everything you can think of except my timers on the lights and this low and behold was the problem!! where I was going to the tent at similar times everyday the light was on and the timers were set right on the clock except I didn't see the switch on the side that makes the timer work continuously or to how the clock is set....🙈😔 Found this and away to go my ladies had some well needed sleep and away to go they flipped By now these had all bushed right out but were getting no tricomes I now had a hell of a load of feeds and kept up the way I was feeding Water Water Feed and all 4 plants in my tent were all heading for the finish line at the same time.... And now I've cut the Northern and the jack down and from my northern lights I had 200g dry weight I didn't do a wet weight it was too hard to do in the space I had (too many colas and massive nugs along with the stragglers that were lost in amongst it all ) She was really resilient and to have come through all those weeks of no rest and only light for 24hrs continuously I'm surprised that I've got this far Flavours and smells are great and the smoke isn't the strongest but when cure now I will see how this little lady comes on I'm happy for my 1st and have learned so much throughout this journey I will update with more but the next diary will be of the other lady in the tent and will give a more detailed explanation of the full journey but as far as crop goes she gave and gave and gave that little more !! Thanks all for following and I hope my next write up will be all the more detailed for u 😀 As she drys mire and more and I've got the exact weight down her figures are not really changing as I've dried her down as much as I want to ....even if this was something that I wanted to keep as a heavier product weather it was for keeping for myself which is what I will be doing rather than to try to get extra weight if I was doing this grow for resale, but this was never the case it was always a grow I've done to help lower my own smoking costs for my own gain and not resale... So again very happy as these final weights are getting revised there will be more to add to the weight with 1 more plant on the harvest but almost double if not more than doubling what I have already put on but I will change my numbers to 2 lots p .tent and an extremely challenging massive yield OMG 😲 she has yes given given and given more beyond more !!!!

For now, everything is going okay. Some nutrients shortage, but they are fixed.

🏆 Harvest Report – Cherry MAC Muffin Final dry yield: 161.71 g The highest-yielding plant of the entire grow – dense, heavy flowers with excellent structure and minimal stem weight. The buds cured into a standout mix of: 🍒 Cherry sweetness 🍦 Soft creamy undertones 🌈 Deep purple highlights on the tips and sugar leaves The resin concentration was extremely high, giving the buds a frosted, almost glassy look. Drying went smoothly thanks to the tight flower formation and healthy fade-out during flush. No oversaturation, no nutrient residue – everything finished clean and aromatic. Cherry MAC Muffin ended the run as the visual and aromatic highlight of the tent. Outstanding vigor, strong late-flower development, and one of the densest structures of the grow.

3/18/2023 Week 5- Day 1 of Veg (Day 45 overall) First day of Week 5 Water change day. 36 Gallons in Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil CalMag = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil Root Drip = 1Mil/Gal =36Mil FLoraMicro = 4.8Mil/Gal = 173Mil FLoraGro = 4.0Mil/Gal = 144Mil FLoraBLoom = 3.8Mil/Gal = 137Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil PH = 5.85 PPM = 576 I adjusted the lights to final position for grow the lights are now 45" from the top of the plants. PPFD= 450 Tent Temp = 78.3 Water Temp = 73.2 3/19/2023 Week 5- Day 2 of Veg (Day 46 overall) Not much to report.. Did some defoliation and some topping. The humidifier was not cutting it by itself to keep the humidity around 60 so I added a bigger humidifier today on a second InkBird Controller. Lets see if it can help control the environment a little better and keep me from having to refill 3 times a day. 3/20/2023 Week 5- Day 3 of Veg (Day 47 overall) Just let them be today. We all took the day off and just grew!! 3/21/2023 Week 5- Day 4 of Veg (Day 48 overall) Nothing much to report they continue to do good.. I topped a little I fim'ed a little and I defoliated a little. Everything seems to be on point still... 3/22/2023 Week 5- Day 5 of Veg (Day 49 overall) Did a little bit of daily maintenance by adding 6mil of PH Up to bring my PH from 5.80 to 5.89, I refilled my humidifier. I topped a little, I FIMed one and I defoliated a little bit. 3/23/2022 Week 5- Day 6 of Veg (Day 50 overall) Regular maintenance conducted. The PH was down to 5.80 so I added 8mil of PH UP bringing the PH to 5.91. I topped where it was needed, I also defoliated some to allow light to hit lower nodes as well as allow a good air flow. 3/24/2023 Week 5- Day 7 of Veg (Day 51 overall) Last Day of the week time for measurements: #3 = 1 foot #2 = 11 and 1/2 Inches Tomorrow I will try to just add a SILICA top off to my Res.. I hope it doesn't call any gumming and me to drain and restart my Res.. this will be my first time topping off SILICA.

Wir haben sie nach 58 Tagen geerntet sie hatte schon alle Trichome Milchig und ihre Härchen sind fast alle Braun/Orange, Wahrscheinlich war es zu warm im Zelt und das Verlangsamt das Wachstum. Jetzt im Winter wird es sicher besser, und die Pflanzen haben weniger Stress

Day 29 fm seed/Week 1 flower: I did some LST/HST to the plants to try to even out the canopy. The light is set to 80% and is creating some good growing conditions. Flower has started and most of the plants are showing little bud clusters and pistils. They are starting to smell already, just mild skunkiness. I say this every time, but there are some super short plants like the skunk and tall lanksters like the Blackberry. There is some stacking on some and mega stretch on others, such is the case when you grow 7 different genetics. It’s all good tho, we’ll train them up. Did some leaf tucking and removed a couple beastly light and site blocking fans. Other than that we’re just gonna watch and see how this plays out. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Happy Growing 🌱

Harvest ended up being a 14 day hang dry as the entire plant. Dry weight between both plants yielded 40 grams only. I did 2 runs of this. The genetics seemed very inconsistent. One plant was very small, and one plant was so large it was almost touching the light at the top of the tent. The bud structure was not great. They did make some pretty pictures though. The smoke is not bad, its smooth and has hints of fruit to it, almost like a mango or papaya. It also smells sweet. It could be used for daytime if you control it correctly. It doesn't hit you hard. Its mellow but lacks that sativa focus.

Hello! Northern Lights from Sensi Seeds is a great strain to grow. It is easy and resistant to most things except my stupidity (*) . I grew them in Central Europe, in pots of 17L on a basic windows growth, with decent soil with additional mycorrhizas. Generic multi fertilizer like Nitrophoska was added in beginning as granules + I added some poo from rabbits. Plants grew nicely also with the light from the large windows, but I felt they preferred a warmer and sunnier climate. (next time you can try cool or continental climate strains). After 25 weeks, I harvested 2 of them (one was harvested couple weeks before, read below for details) and I got 573g of material before drying. I will try to update the value when it is dried. Now they are drying like in the video I uploaded. Thanks for reading my diary. *) Once I opened the windows and I bent the central stem of the third plant, the smallest since beginning. I put a stick to keep it up and it still survived until flowering. I had to harvest it couple weeks before the others 2 plants, because after this "injury" the plant started to have some mites that were spreading in the plant. In this country, you cannot buy BIO products against parasites, so I preferred to harvest sooner. For the numbers of this last harvest report, I counted only the 2 that I harvested together and 573g is the wet weight of these other 2.

10/15 This week saw a few snags. Both gorilla zkittlez girls are showing what looks like a Mg def i.e yellowing between veins and green veins themselves. This isn't the first time they've exhibited these symptoms. Currently the heaviest affected leaves are the lowest fan leaves farthest from the light. Aiming to keep it that way. I think it's pH swinging too low. I need to pay more attention to my feeds but sometimes I don't have the time to pH my water as properly as I should. The reason I say it's that and not a deficiency is because they are also showing signs of over feed (yellow leaf tips) only a one half-strength feed did this. There must be plenty of food left in the pot. I'm thinking the flip is gonna come at the end of the week. I'll clean up some lower foliage tomorrow or Sunday and let them grow the rest of the week. 10 weeks seems like a nice round number to me. More pics coming when I do my defoll. 10/16 added some pics and vids

A warm, sunny week has come to an end, without rain. Please tell me how it is possible that the two Fractals are so far apart in time. Fractal 2 has almost reached its full bloom, smells incredibly good and strong, while Fractal 1 continues to grow and still has small flowers. They are easy to care for, get flower fertiliser and some wood ash and are watered twice a day. PH value is 7. Fractal 1: 131 cm Fractal 2: 108 cm

🌸 Week 3 Flower — Bud stacking begins! 🌸 This week was a turning point — stretch finally slowed down and the plants are now fully focusing on bud formation. The tent started getting really humid due to the extra leaf mass and transpiration 🌿💦. That’s when I realized: a dehumidifier is a must. Without it, RH would climb over 70%, which is dangerous at this stage. Temperatures are still steady (27°C day / 20°C night), but now I’m working on dropping humidity to ~55–60% for safer flowering. Nutrient-wise, I reduced nitrogen even more, focusing on PK boosters and bloom nutrients. Bud sites are stacking nicely, pistils are shooting everywhere 🧡, and the first serious trichome production has started ✨. Mistakes from earlier (too much IR, uneven light distribution) are still visible on some plants, but overall the crop is healthy and vigorous. Next week should be the start of real frost explosion ❄️.

4/7/24 added worm casting(finally) lol 4/8 took off lowest node 4/10 they may have slower growth. Worried about my humidity at night. 4/11 growing more wide now. Trying to tuck leaves to show more of the nodes but they aren’t quite tall enough 4/14 day 21 end of week 3. Both phenos are thick and fluffy. I’m impatient and curious and decided to top one of them. Ps. Early this week, they have shown pistils but it may just be showing sex

Last days for most of them - only Strawberry Cough will stay longer - she is super hungry and I can not keep up with feeding her - most of leaves are yellow now. 😱 The rest - four plants will be harvested on the weekend - 2-3 days from now and frozen - I'll be making bubble hash and fresh frozen live resin from them in the following weeks 😈 Trichomes are mostly milky with some amber starting - ideal ripeness and time to freeze those glands
