So, der Herbst ist endgültig da, die Tage sind gezählt. Wenn man auf den Kalender schaut, hätte sie eigentlich noch ein bisschen Zeit, da sich aber nicht mehr viel tun wird, gebe ihr nur noch ein paar Tage, dann ist sie fällig.

At the end of last week, finally flower indicators started to show and these week it went more. Day 32: I sprayed them with Rhizotonic this week. This will be the last week for sprays. I don't like to spray my plants while having buds on it even thought it is organic. Always make sure you spray from below the leafs. They will uptake it better and also spray some above. With the lights off. Did some defoliation again and removed some lower internodes which will be crappy buds anyways. Made a video of my feeding bucket as well, in case some of you wonder how I feed all those plants manually. It is a pump with an gardenhose attached. Thats it for this week, Until next week!

Except for drying, curing, and smoking, this concludes my Medusa F1 grow. I harvested the plant on day 92. Overall, the plant was a thrill to watch grow. It thrived from day one, and I am more than happy with a wet yield of 336 grams given my setup. The buds are large, dense, laden with trichomes, and they have a great calyx-to-leaf ratio. I discovered a few mites on this plant and its neighbor (a Milky Way F1) in the last 7-10 days. However, the Medusa F1 resisted them so well that they barely multiplied. Or, if they did multiply, they left the Medusa for the Milky Way. The final proof of my efforts will be in the dry yield and quality of smoke. Sometimes I trim wet and sometimes I trim dry. In this case, I'm going to dry trim, so I just cut the plant and hung it upside down from a line in an out-of-the-way room that I can keep dim. There is a little circulation in the room via floor registers. I will return in due time with a dry weight and smoke report. SMOKE REPORT After drying for 6-7 days, I dry-trimmed and jarred up my Medusa F1 harvest. It was a breeze to trim because of its high calyx-to-leaf ratio. To me, that's a big plus. After 11 days in the jar, I had one bud lab-tested for potency, and then decided to proceed with my smoke report out of excitement at seeing the numbers (see below & photos). I added a ton of photos and one video to this smoke report (trimming setup, dried buds in and out of jars, proof-of-smoke video). Regarding taste and aroma, the buds smell mildly of herbs (sandalwood?) and pepper, and the same aromas carry over in the smoke. Regarding potency & effects, the bud I sampled (3 pulls) was quite strong, non-drowsy, and it came on in a quick rush. The rush peaked about 5-10 minutes after smoking, and I would describe the high as "stoney" in the traditional sense, but also "up." For about half an hour, the effects were enough to disrupt my focus -- definitely a strong high. Then, my focus returned and the sensations changed to a milder pleasant buzz, which lasted a couple hours before tapering off. The material smoked left behind nice white ash. POTENCY TESTING RESULTS TAC: 22.5% THC-A: 21.8% CBG-A: .68% Terpenes: Medium (1-2%)

The grow went great except for the males in the bunch (buying fem next time). Grew incredibly fast during veg which was hard to keep up with if I didn't manage every day. Very leafy and responded well to LST and topping. Fim didn't seem to give as good of a response as topping did. Had a accidental top of about 2 or 3 nodes and every branch underneath just about exploded. I kept the nutes in check (800ish) included with a 6/2 light cycle during veg. The 2 hour night cycles really gave them a chance to recover so my leaves looked pristine the entire grow. Flower she stretched more than expected but the last time I grew this strain was my first time and in dirt.... with a low budget light. The Buds are dense and compact so unfortunately there's no forearm size nugs after drying. Still curing but the "sample jar" is already A+ potency and doesn't taste horrible. 4 days of flush, 5 days dry hanging after wet cut, still working on cure +2weeks. The pictures don't do the trichomes justice, just covered.

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

11/5 Week 10 and last full day for Ivy She is ready, trics milky with a tad of amber and smattering of clear. Harvest tomorrow as the rain passes today.

From the last week

Starting too show the early stages of pre flowers , everything has gone nice up until now , she grew a very compact but bushy plant , that seemed too just bush about this week ,

Tudo indo bem por enquanto. Meu novo espaço de cultivo para clones esta em testes mas se der certo terei colheitas de 2 em 2 meses

This is a project by a friend and me :) He has no experience with it but a garden and I have a lot of experience and no garden :) His 80 year old grandfather prepared the earth for us and I have to say I have never seen such perfect earth. The plants have never shown any deficiency and have consistently performed well. Unfortunately we had to harvest 2-4 weeks early because the weather is too humid and there is a lot of concern about mold. One is currently still in the ground but will be harvested in the next few days. That was great fun!! A big thanks to my buddy and his grandfather ♡ I will grow the strain again in the future as I was very happy with the performance!!

Training has been continued. She is developing very nicely. As of today she has been switched to 12/12, as the net starts to get busy and anticipating another stretch I thought it would be time.

Just as difficult to grow as the first time I done Afghan kush but still managed to get some nice purple bud out of it!!!

Olá companheiros, mais uma semana que passa as minhas princesas estão a tornar-se rainhas 😁 estou muito satisfeito com o desenvolvimento das plantas continuam a esticar e a crescer muitas flores, shiskaberry é a que está maior estilo sativa, embora a runtz muffin tem as flores maiores mas menor quantidade, a BlueBerry OG estilo indica com muito bom desenvolvimento, estou muito contente com este cultivo, grato amigos até para a semana que vem.

Og candy dawg auto is into week 7. She has got super bushy and has a load of bud sites.... But i would rather have 8-10 good chunky colas rather than 50 small bud sites. The trimming kills me. So i experimented... I have never defoliated an auto this severely before, i really massacred her. Probably stripped about 60% I know its a risk and i might have stressed her to the point of hermie but im curious as to how much abuse she can take. We will see in next weeks update if there is one

Week six of flower I went in to the tent today an lots of new purple on the buds, couldn't believe how nice they look💚🤩, man does she look stunning, I'm in awe with these beautiful flowers👌🏻

This is the only plant ever that was ready in 10 weeks from seed im so proud hahaha

Another week of blooming for the HighCloudz and the buds are growing well. The top leafs are not looking too good because of the excess nitrogen, but the new leafs are healthy again. I'm glad it didn't slow down the flowering and I'm extra careful from now on to not overfeed her. The smell on this plant is amazing! It's sour/lemon and very spicy, almost like fresh ground pepper. I never grown a plant with this terpene profile before and I'm already looking forward to the smoke report :) The smaller plants have the same aroma, with a hint of candy. Not much more to say for now, my plan is to give her the peace and quiet to grow some beautiful flowers ☘️✌️ Stay tuned for more updates and pics later this week!
