A very colorful plant with some thick trichomes. She’s surviving in the solo cup well! I’m going to begin flushing with water and endgame microbes this week.

I did not log all the weight, cuz my “wine cellar” run out of place , so a lot I just tossed in a big bucket for later hash. All the larf is not weighted, next grow i will do larf mitigation and proper lightning for each plant. For now I got a lot of larf, but I also see that some of my plants got great nugs even under low light exposure. Purple lemonade is less in big density In comparison to Tangie Matic. As well as not purple appeared, even though it is claimed to be genetically stable. Maybe wrong seeds ? Doubt it. But the lemon terps are present. Tent size 240x240

Did another topping today. Hope there will be 8 strong main branches. Also raised temperature and humidity a little and plant looks much better now. Roots still healthy and white. UPDATE: Did defoliation for big fan leaves and LST for all 8 branches.

Growing feminized seeds from White Label Seed Company is an affordable and easy method of obtaining a high quality harvest. White Label was the first company associated with the Sensi gene-bank to make feminized varieties available to the public. As the popularity of growing feminized cannabis has grown, the number of White Label feminized varieties has increased to keep pace with the demand. Soaking Seeds in water, during 48H, using bottles caps, to make them sprout. Germination rate is at 100% , all seeds popped out ! Adding some RootBooster to start, to develop roots ! ⛔️ No Nutrients at this stage ⛔️ ⚠️ Fans must be on since the first day of seedlings comes out ! ⚠️ Light must be far enough depending on the power ! (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

D64/F12 - 11.18 - Been a really incredible week for these ladies. All of them are thriving with lovely prebuds <3 D67/F15 - 11.21 - Lovely progress. Even the least beautiful plant in the garden is reaching above the peony rings :) D70/F18 - 11.24 - Pretty aggressive defoliation on these ladies today. They responded great last round, so I expect to see the start to put a lot of weight on soon. The black sugars (second column of three from the left) we way more leafy than the fast white widows

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

Day 64, 22nd of November 2021: Hi there! Here we go..... so basically pistils are appearing stronger this is the 2nd weeks since they started producing pre flowers. The plants getting a bit light might be some air circulation problem? However they look good and of course closer to the end the gettin' older so the leaves also die. Set up and timing is the same since flower season started. ViparSpectra XS2000 is on full power which is 240W so 100% capacity. Ventilation: 12 hours period when the lamp is on it switches 1 hour on and after one hour off mostly to keep the temperature and of course because of fresh air flow. When the lamp is off it switches on in every 2 hours for 15 min at the same time with the extraction fan. The extraction fan is on 12 hours when the lamp is, and then it switches on in every 2 hours for 30 min. That's all a bit more water for them from today also. Humidity quite the same approx 50%, temperature as well approx 26-27 Celsius. Fertilization remains the same since last week, the BioBizz family raised up to be 2ml/L each so it is like 2ml/L of BioGrow, 2ml/L of BioBloom, 2ml/L of TopMax... see the ratio above. The schedule of the fertilization has not changed happnes 2x a week except epsom salt just 1x a week.

This week I was trying to find a good balance at feeding. I found out, that none of my nutrients had Zn and i started to see deficit of it, so i needed[ to but it. Choose between Advanced Nutrients Revive and General Hydro Micro. Obviously the second one, it has much more other useful elements. Also i bought another CalMag, since i noticed that it might be lack of Mg also. FloraGro also helps with Mg. FloraBloom just cause I already have two base nutrients from them and I'll be needed more bloom later. By the end of the week the feeding was: 1 time pH Perfect Micro, Grow, Bloom in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias. 2 time FloraMicro, Grow, Bloom, BigBud in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias. I think because I changed her diet and now it has much higher ppm, she started to drink less. Kind of more nutrients she can take from the same amount of water, so she doesn't need that much. I think. Also it was quiet hard to change solution alone my myself, when the plant is that big. (Day 3) She always wanted to fall down during it 😁 I changed light schedule to 18/6 as it's more common for me, she will definitely have enough time to sleep. And so I couldn't blame light timing for delaying flowering. Finally she begins to proper flowering, now I'm wondering how many time she'll be needing to finish, I guess 6 more weeks. By the way, she is growing almost in a perfect cube, her width is about 60cm, while the height is around 67cm Still defoliating, but every 2nd day now. That means she stopping producing leaves and starts focusing on buds, which is great. Covering the ground actually helped me, now i almost don't see Sciaras anymore

I tried her now several times. She get's better every week during cure but after roughly 1,5 months, she still tastes only slightly like a cookies strain.

2020-08-17 Beginning of Week 9 of flowering! Wow! The buds in the middle are getting super frosty now and I noticed that I had some colas that had dipped below the light canopy. They're now back up on top! I am still giving nutrients as I don't see many amber trichomes yet but I am going into the tent without the LEDs on to take some more updated pics. Don't wanna miss my window as I prefer to be stimulated instead of sedated by cannabis. Hoping this strain delivers. IF anyone wants to comment on the 'readiness' of my buds for flushing (or not flushing) please leave a comment or message me! 2020-08-23 Updated with this week's entire set of pics! Trying to take more with the lights off and just the flash to capture the trichomes. Looks like the sugar leaves have more amber trichomes. I've been advised by at least one person that it's time to harvest. Still looking for more opinions! Cheers.

Day 85: The last week! The dark purple fade looks gorgeous. Trichomes are mostly cloudy now with a few clear and an amber here and there. I plan to take her down sometime this week. My smell came back and I can confirm that she still absolutely reeks! Some fan leaves are drying and falling off. Day 91: I gave her 2L of water with nutrients a day or two ago. I cut off a bunch of fan leaves that were drying out. She looks ready now. The trichomes are mostly cloudy with some amber and a handful of clear. The very bottom buds could use more time, but everything else looks good. My plan is to chop her in 2 days. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain a lot and I don't want to start drying her in overly humid conditions. The temps here are between -1C and 13C so it's already going to be cold and I should be able to have a nice slow dry. She is a beautiful plant with a strong smell and lots of frost. I'm excited to see how the smell/flavor will be after drying. The buds feel very dense. They look mostly purple now, but I think that might just be on outside. Anyway, I can't wait to be able to try her... She didn't give me any trouble while growing and I would highly recommend her based on the growing experience. The smoke report will have details on the taste and effects. Happy growing!!! Harvest: I am writing here so that I can copy and paste it later into the harvest week. I chopped her on day 93. The bottom buds could have gone longer, but the tops were already showing amber on the buds so I decided it was time. Her smell is straight funk at the moment. I don't pick up the berries that I did earlier, hopefully that will come back. I trimmed off most of the fan leaves and left the sugar leaves on the plant for drying. The plant is hung up whole while drying in my tent. The exhaust fan is on, but the oscillating fans are off. I tied the side branches with separate strings to give them a bit of space and air between them. Starting environmental conditions are 14C and 55% humidity. Day 2: 12-15C / 57-62% Day 3: 12-16C / 56-61% Day 4: 12-16C / 54-60% Day 5: 12-16C / 59-66% (turned on the oscillating fan at the bottom of the tent for more airflow) Day 6: 12-16C / 56-66% (fan off when I saw it was down to 60%RH) Day 7: 12-16C / 59-65% (fan on again most of the day and night) Day 8: 12-16C / 59-64% Day 9: 12-16C / 63-71% Day 10: 12-17C / 63-74% Day 11: 12-17C / 61-65% Day 12: 12-17C / 63-70% Day 13:
