Holy god ... brothers .... I was growing of the magnificent raw diamonds of Sierra Leone and I didn't realize it !!!! Magnificent look gems covered with a huge frosted layer of resin so pearlescent to make them look from white appearance. Of course it was not at all easy to grow them given their multiple ramifications and not having a containment network installed. In a short time they filled all the cultivation sweats, even the little ones and this to ensure that the lower gems did not have the same compactness as the upper ones, but they still came very resinous! My advice and to contain this very powerful plant and try to concentrate all its exposure with a scrog technique and remove all the lower bulbs

I think preflowering stage started and i want to do some defolation.

September 25 > Harvest at dawn for the big girl. The usual routine... except I shot a time-lapse video this time to play with the camera I won last year. Clipped the top buds first - then the base. Took me 2 hours to wash all that -rinse - repeat. ---------------------------------------- Well this was an interesting summer with this pair of girls. I learned that I don't really need a container larger than 10 gallons in order to grow very large plants (in my neck of the woods anyway). Now when I say large I mean how much space they take up on my patio. I'm allowed to grow 6 legally but 4 eats up pretty much the whole patio. And the reality is I don't need to grow plants that large. The outdoor yield will last well into next year for me and everybody I know. So next summer I plan to do much more serious pruning to limit the scope and shape of the girls I grow outdoors. I also learned that I don't need an inverted tomato cage style support if my container is larger than 5 gallons. The Durban I grew last summer was in a 5 gallon container and there's not enough weight in there to keep her grounded. Once up to 10 gallons you won't want to lift the container much and there's enough weight in there to keep things stable. At the moment I've listed 450g as a dry weight for both plants (updated to 458g final). I haven't actually weighed the 2nd plant yet and won't even trim her for about a week or so (I'll be back to update diary). The first girl came in at 235 grams. I got pretty ruthless throwing away small budlets and trim this morning as it took me 4 hours to take this big girl down and wash her up. That's only because I spent half a day yesterday trimming Cream & Cheese and moving Northern Lights around... and it's been over 95 degrees both days... so I'm ready for a rest. Cannabis harvesting is not easy labor. Diary note > There was a software malfunction a week or so back and I was unable to add a new flowering week, whereupon it was determined there was a limit of 26 weeks at that time... so I didn't add any more weeks after that until the harvest week. When I added the harvest week, it appears the malfunction had been corrected because I COULD HAVE added a new flowering week at that time. I think there's only a week missing. Differences can be noted with dates on the photos. If I had a problem this summer it's because I was too anxious to get going after a long winter nursing shoulder surgery and I didn't pay proper attention to the lighting ramifications when the instructions were there for me, and subsequently started too early. Next year I plan for an early crop of auto flowers to keep me occupied until the proper time for a regular crop. --------------------------------------- September 30 > Trimming and processing complete. I really manhandled the big girl with the Trimbag, largely because I knew I was gonna have a pound of herb on my hands (way more than I will personally consume) and I wanted to minimize my hand trimming. So when I say manhandled here, I mean I ran it through the process TWICE, using about 40 rotations/spins each time. It probably would have helped to be a tad drier, but we're entering a cool spell now and we've run out of time. Mother Nature has decided to turn off the heater... which has turned my Purple Berry Kush a nice shade of purple... but that's tomorrow mornings's harvest... <sigh>... anyway... where was I... oh yeah... AMNESIA... <hehe> Trimbag generated trim on 1st pass = 217 g Trimbag generated trim on 2nd pass = 90 g Trim generated by hand after that = 186 g Final bud weight for big girl = 223 g Clearly, comparing weight of trim generated by hand vs by the Trimbag here you can see the result of my "manhandling". Little girl was in a 10 gallon pot and generated 235 g buds and 360 g trim. Big girl was in a 15 gallon pot and generated 223 g buds and 493 g trim. Final total bud weight 458 grams for both plants. Hope anybody following along learned something this summer. I did. 😎 The trick is to not make the same mistake twice. That's kinda why we're all here. Kinda. ✊

23.-30.07. Die Woche verging wie im Fluge. Strawberry Haze Auto duftet mittlerweile sehr fruchtig mit Zitrusnoten. Die Blüten schwellen nach einem krassen Stretch an. Das intensive LST und das Entfernen störender Blätter hat dazu geführt, dass die Blüten sehr gleichmäßig Sonnenlicht bekommen und später in der Blüte die Luft gut zirkulieren kann. Zwei Tage der Woche standen die Pflanzen unter der Markise, es hat über Stunden heftig geregnet. Das Gießen läuft wie gewohnt nach Gefühl. An heißen Sonnentagen bis zu 1,5 Liter.

This new grow method is really exciting longer vegetative growth this week and no flowers is such a blessing with all the rains in this climate change.

Somehow I miscalculated the days and started week 6 prematurely. I will just continue here thru to week 7 Day 32 From Seed NYD#2 Started LST. Pot was light, watered at 6.3 including Fish Sh!t. NYD#3 The pony tail backfired. The main is mangled. Despite small nodes, I started LST and watered at 6.3 including Fish Sh!t. Day 33 From Seed Did some research and found out the ponytail should only be used during the light cycle and removed for the dark period. I left it on, which caused the ugly. Lesson learned! Day34 Adjusted and added LST. Watered #2 at 6.5. #3 was still heavy, no water needed. Day 37 Watered, adjusted LST Day 39 From Seed Watered, adjusted LST. Found a bug that isn't a fungus gnats (NYD#3). Inspected both plants for more. Did a neem oil top drench and added Vicks Vapor Rub to the pot rims (bug deterrent). So raised light roughly 4 inches. Day 41 Light watering, adjusted LST ties, top drenched with Neem Oil. Added a few ounces of peroxide to the humidifier. They'll both need a top dress soon.

Fast week and a lot in my life so little update for this week , sorry guys, they are growing as champions and by the end of week 5 they started preflowring, this append around day 34,35 from seed. I started a litle timelapse project an i will update on that soon , for now here just a taste of what it will be 😆💚 Girls 2# Magnum Autos from @buddhaseeds All i grow is medicine for myself, nothing to sell So don’t even ask 😆 💚If you put your heart in to it, you will get love out off it 💚 Growers love to you all

Day 1 of week 6: 26th Sept Slow start to this week with an update as my phone is broken. Girls looking good but no pics to show.. Day 2 of week 6: 27th Sept Nutes in as usual! Girls looking good and I think the CalMag is working a treat! 🤞🏼 Day 3 of week 6: 28th Sept Just added some pics and a lil vid today to kick this week off after a slow start! Day 5 of week 6: 30th Sept Nutes in again today and some more defoliation due to yellow leaves not getting enough light.. I was a little worried I hadn’t sorted the CalMag deficiency out properly but the girls are looking much happier now I’ve got rid of those yellow leaves and LST’d them a bit more. 😍 Day 6 of week 6, 1st October: Girls looking much happier since yesterday’s removal of yellow leaves and more LST!! They’ve bounced back so nicely!! Happy days 😊❤️ Day 7 of week 6: 2nd October Girls looking good, nutes in for the last time before switching to flower.. Switching to flower 🌹 during week 7 all being well!! Can’t wait to see some cola action!! ❤️, ✌️ and hair grease!

last week but to be fair looks like it might benefit from another week mmmh!! we will see peace peeps and happy smoking 💪👍💯

Stronger and stronger everyday, looks like this girl went into flower last night, so exciting ✌️🌱✌️

Bigger and bigger everyday !! Gonna be awesome Can’t wait to see her bloom ! I had to attach the branches, they are very long 😍

New Aeroponics "root rain" mist cloner! Holds 2 gallons of water. I added 8 Tsp of CloneX clone/seedling nutrient. PH was 6.0-6.5ish, good enough! These clones inside got zapped pretty hard one day, because I forgot to plug in the water pump one time after playing with it hehehe... Some didn't make it, but most survived! every other plant was watered with just de-chlorinated tap water, for re-hydration. #4 has been selected as the winning pheno! The mother plant had her home upgraded to a 2gal pot. The root ball was not so bound, due to her receiving a root-prune not too long ago, she was re-potted back into a solo cup. I pruned the bottom of the root mass off with a light pinch, and potted her into her new 2gallon home!

The Tropicana Cookies are starting to flower really nice, the Zkittlez want to grow out of the Tent i guess. Total Nutrient Consumption over the week was around 40 Liters :D

👉 This year, RQS launched 5 new regular strains. The seeds are packed with10 pieces. 38 seeds out of 50 turned out beautiful (see my previous diaries). 👉 Before I put the plants into bloom, I took 2 cuttings from each plant. As soon as I knew which were the female plants, I deleted the male plants and the corresponding clones. 👉 Now I am going to raise the cuttings and flower the female plants in 5 new diaries. This diary is about the Mango Crunches #1, #2, #3, #6, #7.

Han crecido así tanto qué no hay más espacio 🤣🤣🤣!!! Un gran olor!! 😉😉😉😉😉

Harvest day 76. Dry in 50-60% humidity, totally night and ventilation maxed 🔥🍊💨 I'm filled with pain as happy for the end of our adventure together. Dry Day 1-2: humidity level 55-60 Dry Day 3-4 : 52-58 Dry Day 5-6-7 : 50-55 Manicure day 3 and 6 of dry ✂️ Use Ice-O-Lator to make Orange Sherbet bubble hash My density note : 8/10 Speed : Really fast, some LST, defoliation, toping. She really looks good ever time!

She is now putting on weight - and still going tall! She looks like she has a while to go before harvest but she is doing magnificently. Little to no deficiencies!

This week has been excellent for my Black Cherry! Five days ago, it received its first pruning. It was defoliated a bit and the top was pinched. I want to see how the genetics react to stress and how it copes with it. The side shoots have been tied back as best I could. A beautiful bushy growth is slowly forming!

Sponsored grow 👉WeedSeedsExpress👈 Week 14 flower 10 Love Potion is in her last week. I am watering with ph 6.5 water with no nutrients and I have lowered the lights to 20%. I plan on putting her in the dark on Thursday for chopping on Saturday. Trichomes remain mostly milky. I saw a few ambers in 1 pic taken on 4/6. Last peek pictures on 4/11. Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Thank you @WeedSeedsExpress for this opportunity to grow your strains. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫
