Defoliated and flipped to 12/12

This is the first week since she popped.

Week 2

4/22/24 🍓z I was going to take her down after I trimmed off all of the excess leaves and gave her some of the leftover maximum strength food from a space panda in the next tent. She really started taking off again, so I’m gonna keep her going. I’m gonna keep them all going and doing just great really starting to put out a lot of resin. They smell fantastic. I’m having a lot of fun with them so I’m gonna keep them going. I could take them down right now they are ready, but I just wanna grow them a little more. 👍👍👍 4/23/24 Wow they are great. ZStraverriez...hard to type.... is READY! I took the leaves off a couple days ago to see if I would get any growth but nope. So I will use FloraKleen 10ml per gal and do a 2 or 3 gallon flush and put her back in for a day. I harvested the CBD. It smells like berries, just great just the right size in a 2 gallon pot with no training. I found a seed in the CBD, the others might be seeding as well......that is my oldest tent probably has pollen somewhere. Still everything is good, but im getting a new tent...I also just got a MarsHydro light for 100 it's the light bar one. 4/23/24 Apricot and straw. gorilla are growing good. Zstraberriez....which is a HUGE BITCH TO SPELL....but WOW smells like berries and vanilla and happiness. I let some dry for a few hours and put it in the Arizer X2 and she was great. These are so fast and the colors are beautiful too. It's like a perfect autumn day with all the leave changing color. Except my colors are way better and I can smoke them.... 4/24/24 🍓🍓🦍🍑👍💎💎💎 I am seeing lots of resin form. I thought they would be ready to go, but it looks like they just kind of took a little pause and I trimmed off the unnecessary and fading leaves and they got their second wind and now seeing a lot of resin production💎💎💎. they smell great. They look like they’re ready to keep going for another two weeks so I’m gonna do that and I’ll just harvest a little bit along the way I smoke some of all of them this morning and they’re just great. 👍👍👍 4/25/24 I ended up doing a little bit heavier, feeding than usual. I did about 2 mL of all the supplements and now I’m seeing lots of resin. I’m very careful all the other nutrients have burned my plants horribly but I’m very careful in general. Hydroponic seems to do a good job without burning. Fastbuds has a 25 pack of all their different strains mixed together for 100. I might do that. I’m kind of neurotic. I may need to know what I’m growing I think about this. I really like all of their plants they have a personality all of their own. I like Seedsman and the F1 it’s from Royal queen seeds. 4/25/24 🍑🍓🍓

Day 28 [f6] last day before 11 days holiday water on the lower side to prevent lockout while i'm gone, 16 L should last for the whole period pray with me

CHERRY 🍒 COLA 420/FASTBUDS This lady really produces some extra sticky dense buds that look amazing and smell 👍 great! I had no issues with this strain. She was grown in organic soil with only FOOP nutrient line and she responded with some good looking buds!! Overall a easy grow with rewarding results ✨️ one of the strains I would suggest growing 😀!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you 420/FASTBUDS!! CHERRY 🍒 COLA 420/FASTBUDS

Its finally harvest day.

Its finally harvest day.

Happy palindromic 4202024. To help celebrate I’m starting a couple of Euphoria seeds and making the first diary entry of the season. This year i’m doing two photoperiod plants, starting today, and two autos that I’ll start in mid-May. Apr 22: moved into soil after about 48 h in 25 C water in the dark. Have a ripe apple beside the seeds under the foil because apparently the ethylene gas that is given off helps. Science paper I happened across last winter - will post reference when I remember. Apr 25: removed foil (and apple) and left on a 25 C heat mat beside a light that is going for tomatoes and peppers. Weak light, warmth, and high humidity is what they need at this stage.

4202024 or backwards, it’s 4202024. I’m sure there will be other palindromic dates in future, but this is the one and only stoner palindrome date that can happen in our lifetimes. Thanks to Seedsman for the idea of a 420 grow-off and the chance to try some of the latest and greatest. Anyway, started some Blueberry Pie F1 Fast seeds from Seedsman today. Very promising sounding genetics, and I’m very keen to see how she goes. Hopefully we won’t get as much wildfire smoke as we did last year. The plan for this plant is a 16 cola manifold with force flowering (12 h darkness) starting in late July for a couple of weeks. Starting in a glass of water on a heat mat at 25 C. Kept in dark using foil. I’ve decided to avoid plastic for the seed starting. Also, based on a science paper I saw this winter, I’m leaving a ripe apple in the dark with the seeds. Apparently the ethylene gas helps, but only in the dark before light is applied. Tried it with tomato and pepper plants and seems to work. First time trying with my cannabis seeds. Will add the reference to the paper some day. Apr 22: moved into soil. Starting three seeds but I only have room for one plant. Will adopt out the other two. Apr 25: removed foil cover (and apple) and set the plants beside the light that is going for tomatoes and peppers. The seedlings need minimal light at this stage so taking it easy. Seems likely we’ll be past last potential frost day soon. 👍

W10.D1(67) 📅📚🚫🔁🌸 Yesterday did not make it into the diary; alas, sudden tasks have pulled me away from our usual routine. 📅 In this disruption, life's 🚫 unexpected demands have interrupted the flow, yet the 🌸 flowering continues to thrive vigorously. 🌞⏳🌟👀🔜 I have now reached the 14/10 light schedule and am delightedly watching the process unfold. 🌞 Adjusting the daylight hours gradually, I believe we have successfully initiated an irreversible transition. 🌟 With eager 👀, I watch as our champion plant responds, and 🔜 time will reveal if our simulation of the day's shortening has indeed tipped the scales. W10.D2(68) 🌸🐌📈🛑🌱 The flowering is developing slowly and gradually. 🌸 As we carefully observe, the 🐌 pace ensures that each stage of growth is closely monitored. 📈 There's a hope that with the cessation of reducing light hours, the plant 🛑 does not revert to its vegetative state. W10.D3(69) 📅🌸🔄🔬💧 As of today, there are no particular updates – the flowering continues organically. 📅 The natural progression of 🌸 flowering is unhindered, and the nutrient supply scheme has been 🔄 adjusted to better meet the specific needs during this phase. 🌱💡🌿🚰 I continue to work with low doses of various fertilizers, aiming to ensure that the availability of different micronutrients allows for their passive absorption. 🌱 By maintaining a cautious approach with 💡 carefully measured nutrients, we encourage the plant 🌿 to absorb what it needs effortlessly, while minimizing the energy 🚰 spent on active uptake. This strategy optimizes growth without overstressing our plant. W10.D4(70) 📏🌿📈🤞📦 The growth in height continues. 📏 As the 🌿 plant stretches upwards, I sincerely hope 🤞 that I won't have to increase the height of this 📦 grow box again. The upward 📈 trend is promising, yet it challenges the confines of our current setup. W10.D5(71) 🌿📊💧🔬🤔 I see it necessary to introduce some measure of photosynthesis efficiency. 🌿 Considering the available measurements of light and water, this ratio could be directly expressed as the utilization of water in photosynthetic reactions per unit of energy. 💧 The efficiency of 🔬 photosynthesis could potentially be quantified in such a way, offering a direct metric to evaluate. 🌱💦🔍🌞🧐 However, the challenge lies in the fact that plants use water not only for photosynthesis. A significant portion of the water consumed, according to scientific knowledge, leaves the plant through transpiration. 🌱 Understanding that 💦 water is vital, we must 🔍 discern how much is used for 🌞 photosynthesis versus what is expended on transpiration 🧐—a complex task that requires precise measurement and interpretation. W10.D6(72) 🤔📅📷🌿✨ Currently, there are no new thoughts or ideas, I'll just post a photo of another day. 🤔 Daily progression 📅 of our grow is captured in a 📷 snapshot, showcasing the 🌿 plant's ongoing journey and the simple ✨ beauty of another day in the life cycle. W10.D7(73) 🌱💧📈🌿🚿 Yesterday, I increased the watering to 8 liters. 🌱 With this boost in 💧 hydration, I am aiming for a significant 📈 enhancement in the plant’s 🌿 photosynthetic activity. 💦🌞🌱🌧️🔍 Increasing water should accelerate the opportunities for photosynthesis, but it also raises the humidity, which may lead to mold formation. 💦 With increased hydration, the plant enjoys a 🌞 vibrant photosynthetic environment, yet we must remain vigilant as the 🌧️ moisture could foster less desirable conditions, necessitating careful 🔍 monitoring. 🛠️🌬️🌿🔄🏁 I anticipate that changes to the ventilation system will allow me to complete the growth cycle this time around. 🛠️ Adjusting the 🌬️ airflow and climate control, we strive to optimize the environment for our 🌿 plant, setting the stage for a successful 🔄 cycle completion and crossing the 🏁 finish line with robust growth.

defoliation going on rn, will trim the right side of the plant in the coming days to encourage more proper growth. no fert this week. Thats all for now -

This gurl is done! She smells and feels sticky buds are not huge how I wanted but I take into consideration I use very little fertilizers and she started turning yellow and leaves dying!

Once again she passes my expectations, late to the show with trichome production. I'm surprised there is purple on the bud, maybe Purpinator does work :) I thought I could see hints under the grow lights and thought my eyes were deceiving me, I was just being hopeful. But nah 2 of the 3(under the UV) has got a beautiful tone of purple. I was never going to bother with a deep freeze but maybe the whole bud will. change given conditions, that would be something, fingers crossed. Rule of thumb is never to surpass 60% RH in the flowering phase and try to progressively reduce it down to 40% in the last 2–3 weeks before harvest. The plant will react as it seeks to protect its flowers, responding by producing denser buds and a higher concentration of resin. Cannabis plants are sensitive to sudden temperature changes, especially in the flowering stage. Extreme heat or cold can impact bud density and overall yields. In nature as a defense mechanism from cold, the plant sensing sudden dips in temperature will attempt to remove the pockets of air within the bud, it achieves this by compacting itself in doing so to better protect itself from cold snaps which are normally indicators in nature that worse weather is on the way. The script to come. Removal of 660nm wavelength is the signal that triggers the plant to accelerate terpenes/flavinoids production in flowers, this is the mechanism the higher plant uses to attract potential pollination from further afield, survival of the species is no joke for the plant, it senses the sky around it has removed all the 660nm, the plant starts to focus on terpenes and flavinoids production if she has not been fertilized by this point she must attract pollination from a further afield. 3-day treatment, ZERO 660nm initiates accumulation, RH kept below 20% (harder than you think)(Dropping temps helps a lot). The plant can sense the humidity drought, the plant will close its stomata to prevent the release of moisture given the conditions. Two highly specialized cells, the guard cells that surround the stomatal pore, can integrate environmental and endogenous signals to control the stomatal aperture and thereby the gas exchange. The uptake of CO2 is associated with a loss of water by leaves. Control of the size of the stomatal aperture optimizes the efficiency of water use through dynamic changes in the turgor of the guard cells. The opening and closing of the stomata are regulated by the integration of environmental signals and endogenous hormonal stimuli. The various factors to which the guard cells respond translate into the complexity of the network of signaling pathways that control stomatal movements. The perception of abiotic stress (RH less than 20%) triggers the activation of signal transduction cascades that interact with or are activated by phytohormones. Among these, abscisic acid (ABA), is the best-known stress hormone released that forces closed the stomata. Terpene levels are the highest just before the sun comes out. Ideally, you want as many terpenes present in your plants as possible when you harvest. Cannabis plants soak up the sun during the day and produce resin and other goodies at night. The plant is at its emptiest from "harvest undesirables" so to speak right before the lights on. Boiling cannabis roots during harvesting slows down the drying process. When you boil cannabis roots, it shocks the plant, closing the stomata on the leaves. This prevents massive moisture loss through the leaves, leaving only the floral clusters actively losing moisture at a reduced pace. I've always run a strict 60/60 and it took almost twice as long to dry to a snap than previous grows where I didn't boil for what it's worth. Chlorophyll is good for the plant but not for you. When you harvest the buds, even after you flush them, if you flush them, they’re still filled with chlorophyll. Freshly cut buds are greener than dried buds because they still contain loads of chlorophyll. However, when rushed through the drying process, the buds dry but retain some chlorophyll, and when you smoke it, you will taste it. Chlorophyll-filled buds are smokable, but they aren’t clean. Slow drying gives the buds enough time and favorable conditions to lose the chlorophyll and sugars, giving you a smoother smoke. How the plant disposes of the chlorophyll and sugars by a process of chemically breaking them down and attaching the decomposed matter once small enough to water molecules which then evaporate back into the ether. Time must be given to the process to break down the chlorophyll and sugars. Think of it like optimizing the environment for decay. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/01/140124082656.htm The word “alcohol” is said to come from the arabic term “Al-khul” which means “BODY-EATING SPIRIT” (also, is the origin of the term” ghoul”). In alchemy, alcohol is used to extract the soul essence of an entity. Hence its’ use in extracting essences for essential oils, and the sterilization of medical instruments. By consuming alcohol into the body, it in effect extracts the very essence of the soul, allowing the body to be more susceptible to neighboring entities most of which are of low frequencies. (why do you think we call certain alcoholic beverages “SPIRITS”). That is why people who consume excessive amounts of alcohol often black out, not remembering what happened. This happens when the good soul (we were sent here with) leaves because the living conditions are too polluted and too traumatic to tolerate. The good soul jettisons the body, staying connected on a tether, and a dark entity takes the body for a joy ride around the block, often in a hedonistic and self serving illogical rampage. Our bodies are cars for spirits. If one leaves, another can take the car for a ride. Swazzeneger was to the bodybuilding community what Diddy was to the rap Industry.

The smell is quite strong💐💐

I‘m back at Germany! After 3 weeks Break, my roommate gave Its best to take care of them… Temperature and humidity were Not that perfect, as I just told her to water and dung them right. But still they Look pretty good. I had to defoliate as much as I can to stop them to get oversized. Still Strawberry Banana got a huuuuge Stretch! It is way to Big for the tent… I might think about, letting her grow on the outside, to perform the Best and Not getting sun burnt by the light, which is to close on the buds. I water them now with 1,5L per day or until they get a drain. Looking forward on hold This setup for a while, increasing the Temperature again and try to drop the humidity down to 40%…

Yoooo!!! What's brackin fam!!! Update!!! Soo! She stretched almost an inch in 6 days maybe more it's truly amazing and this cropsalt stuff is no joke I'll literally challenge anyone to use it by direction and not see why it's the best!!! PERIOD!! other then that she is drinking alot more and eating steadily more as well, I am going to cut clones by this week or next and then start that GD foenthe large tent, this girl is fairing really well considering the home conditions I have with her but otherwise she has been absolutely a breeze to grow!!! Thanks for stopping by will update as this week goes on thanks!!!

Day 39 (24.04.2024): I rearranged the automatics so that the first open pollen sacs don't pollinate the girls. Here the wind always comes from the valley and the sea. Nothing should happen to the males behind the females. I placed the two female La Berry Fruta in a place with longer exposure to sunlight. Because she doesn't belong genetically to Fruity and Snowfruit and the two girls also grow much more beautifully. This morning I fed the girls and boys some molasses and Canna Terra Flores. I only give them the extra nutrients once this week. The plants receive organic water continuously and as needed.

Day 23: -Seeing great growth from the little girl, true leaves developing, and slowly burying the stem over as she grows. Showing great resilience so far, and nice rich colour to her leaves 😁 Feeding every other water still. Day 25: - feed today, a nice 2.5L to moisten up the 3gal she's in, no run off, she's very happy and healthy 🙌✌️💚

First off i would like to say sorry to Sebastian and @Exotic_Seed for not keeping up with the diary. I have neglected this plant and she has been punished. Super low humidity,lack of water,snapped branch and also split the main stalk down the middle the other day. I noticed it a few hrs later and used a pipe cleaner to cinch it back together. 😍
