The tale of the Goddesses is ending. Through this grow, I have given tribute to matriarchs-my grandmother and my mother who have influenced who I am in this world. I’ve showcased their art, photographs, and their lifetimes. I shared our family history through old photos while also showcasing the art of Alphonse Mucha in the Art Neuveux style he created in the early 1900's. The femininity reflected in his art elevates women to Goddesses with their flowing hair and floral backgrounds. In the diary I indicated I wanted to be a healer in my younger years. I wasn't a medical professional by career choice, but I provide natural nontoxic solutions for cleaning and beauty products and have for my family and friends for over 25 years. Not only are the items healthy and clean, but they are also effective and save you money. And who doesn't want that? I added the song Woman by Iris Gold. Have a listen in you tube or amazon music. Shoot for the stars and may all your dreams come true. My cover for Harvest and Smoke report is Alphonse Mucha’s poster for Job cigarette papers. This is one of the most famous works in design history. Taking its cue from a new kind of female beauty, its modern girl has hair with a life of its own. The tendrils look more like the floating tentacles of a jellyfish. This is in vast contrast to the style of the times when women wore their hair tightly pulled up on their heads. For most people, though, the Job poster is less likely to be associated with belle époque Paris of early 1900’s, than the swinging 1960s. Its blissed-out smoker and trippy swirls made it an obvious choice for the bedroom walls of a later generation of freedom-seekers. In posters for perfume, beer, biscuits, bicycles, and Job Cigarettes (1896) he blurred the barrier between fine art and commercial art, between commerce and philosophy. The weekly diary covers I presented show Mucha’s style - organic and ornate, graceful and dynamic, with curving, swooping lines and Byzantine borders, lettering, and frames. The iconic 'Mucha woman' had curves, flowing hair, pastel robes, and often a halo of light or flowers. His women burst with life. I have mixed emotions about my grow and harvest. My results indicate I have a lot to learn. This was my 3rd grow and I still have problems with over feeding my auto girls. wh For all future grows I will reduce any synthetic fertilizer to 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended dosage. Overfeeding caused clawing and canoeing followed by nutrient lockout. While I was trying to correct this problem, flushing for 3 weeks to get out the excess fertilizers and salts, the girls were already overmature and past harvest. Checking trichomes at 10 weeks, there were few trichomes and didn't see much more until week 12. I checked with my phone camera at 10x magnification every other day. I saw lots of clear, then clear and milky, then all milky but never did I see any amber trichomes. The plants began to reveg based on the King Crown buds developing (see pics in week 15). The CBG may have degraded to CBN since I was 3-4 weeks late in harvest. If that is true, I don't mind since I need sleep medicine too. I lost Circe at the end due to aphid infestation. Ater several power washing with the hose on jet, we could not get the bugs off. So, I chopped her and into the trash she went. I did only minor defoliation near the end of the grow but neither plant was very leafy. For future grows, I will defoliate on a schedule, do some stress training maybe fimming, lollypopping, and defoiliating. Note to self: when buying seeds, look for more growing information on the strain such as when trichomes are expected and days to harvest. Knowledge is power. On the flip side, my happiness comes from the completion of a grow the harvest was 57 grams of smoke and 26 grams trim was not the highest yield but workable for what I need. As I indicated in the beginning, my plan, in addition to enjoying the smoke, is to put CBG in my health & beauty products. So, you don't have to wait for me to make mine, I've loaded a pain salve recipe above from Emily Kyle for a CBD or THC. The recipe shown makes 3/4 cup but can be doubled or halved. I'm, so excited I have decarbed my CBG trim and will use to make this formula while the buds are curing. I will also include some Lemon auto which is 17:17 CBD:THC to give it some other cannabinoids. I'll also put the recipe in the recipe diary. CBG will go in the coconut oil I use in my toothpaste ( recipe loaded in recipe file) If you follow me, check my recipe diary periodically as I will add new food and beauty recipes in future grows. For my readers and followers, I express my sincere gratitude for all the comments, likes and views and thank you for responding to my questions. I always hate having to pick one answer because they are all good. Just know that I learn from every one's answers. In closing, this Grow Diaries community is the best. With all the love and positive vibes I received, I got overwhelmed at times. As this was my medical grow, many of you sent me good vibes and prayers for continued healing. I feel your energy and it keeps my frequency up. I have enjoyed meeting and chatting with all of you. I'll be starting my next grow soon so follow along with that one too. Sending you love and good vibes 💚💫💫💚. Enjoy your smoke💨💨 Happy growing 🌱and have fun🎉

Nothing special, everything is actually working. Clearly once my water was at the right temperature, no more worries. The flowers arrived at 12/12 + 11 with the trichromes that pop, it starts to be pleasant! So of course, I'm not going to break any records on this RUN but in any case, I've eliminated a lot of "novelty" and mistakes that I'll make more. I'm counting on the run I'm re-launching to blow all that up, I'm going to go for a performance goal The stretch is off to a good start, it should settle down around 12/12 +21 - 28, so I will place my second net next week. I have done a defoliation. I change the soup in 2 days, so my solution lasts 10 days. I have a slight over-fattening, but really nothing serious, I will switch to an EC of 1.8 - 1.9 instead of 2.0. and I will observe. Here we can see the delay of one of the plants, it's as if I was shooting with only 3 plants. Next time, only one strain, same size of cuttings and passage by cuttings and RDWV DIY mandatory before passage in the V-system. Next week, I change the brand of fertilizer for the RDWC, I go to Athena, I will introduce the PK of Athena which according to their recommendation starts at the 21st day at a rate of 2ML/L. I turn with the base sensi bloom a and b + athena pk Otherwise, I receive the parts this week for my RDWC DIY system for growth, I'll make it with my friend and I'll test it and I'll give you a feedback on the next update, especially since I'm going to restart right away, I'm going to do 10-15 days in cuttings and then I'll go to the RDWC DIY system for growth until I finish the FLO of the V-SYTEM and then I'll go straight to the next one. I'm going to put my LEDS at 80% which is the MAX recommendation of SANlight without c0² ( I don't forbid myself to grow at 100% in week 5-6, I'll see... )

Day 64 (First Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re on day 64, and the flowering phase is in full swing. The buds are forming beautifully, and the plants have grown 5-10 cm above the SCROG net, creating a lush canopy. The humidity is steady at around 50% or lower, which is ideal for this stage. To recap, we've been maintaining an even canopy with the SCROG net and our Timor shield mantis continues to keep pests at bay naturally. Our plants are thriving, thanks to the even light distribution and careful humidity control. We're considering installing a second fan in a few weeks to improve airflow and potentially adding a second SCROG net to support the plants as they continue to stretch during flowering. This should help stabilize the plants and ensure they get the support they need as the buds get heavier. Any tips or advice for the next steps? Let us know in the comments!

Nice big fan leaves. I am continuing to open the two branches created after topping and defoliate to get more light onto the perpendicular branches. Just watering, mycorrhizae and microbes as I just transplanted. 12” diameter airpots.

Alright growers 🙏🏻 So this is the start of week 2 of flowering these girls - all I can say is this time around has been a nightmare of problems right and left ha. I’m now struggling to keep temps down and RH down, I got a small dehumidifier in there 1.7litres to help out. But these girls are starting to take shape now I done a slight defoliation on the lowers to help air circulation. All is looking well and hopefully get to see some progress soon. I’ve not really taken much care or notice of the clones it took of the - Buddha blue cheese Exodus cheese Got these to stickers mixed up - rs11 & platchata (in-house genetics) So I’ve potted them into small pots Few of the auto strains I had I got rid of a couple of them as they were slow growth properly due to stress’s. A couple of them are still going okay but definitely not dense buds at all mostly airy so not a fan at growing these compared to photoperiods. Happy growing guys 👌🏻✌️🏻🍁

Excited to start these ladies. This strain has the temps that make you want to keep going back for more. The flowers come out super dense and covered in trichs. Let's see if they come out as good if not better then the last time I've grown it. Got 10/10 to sprout so where already off to a great start. All In all Happy Growing

Jetzt kommt der langweilige Teil des Grows. Wachstum findet quasi nur noch in den Blüten statt. Veränderungen sieht man wirklich nicht unbedingt Täglich. Es gibt ein letztes mal Bio PK 5-8 als Top Dressing 10ml auf 500ml Wasser

Ehy ragazzi tutto bene? Spero di sì.. Nn mi ripeterò in questo terzo diario nelle qualità stupefacenti della grow box della Mars hydro, posso solo constatare che funziona tutto alla perfezione, il controller Dell aria in entrata è Dell umidità funziona che è una bellezza! Ora è molto più pratico da utilizzare e puoi impostare tutto e quasi dimenticartene! Vabbè ora sto esagerando, perché cnq non essendo l'ultimo modello Smart che si poteva collegare WiFi, quello si sarebbe stato un verrò doppio passo in avanti per gestire al meglio le mie ragazze da una sola app sullo smartphone! Spero in futuro magari un altro upgrade del controller ssmart sarebbe davvero una cosa che apprezzerei tantissimo dalla collaborazione con questa grande azienda Mars hydro! Vi lascio qua sotto i link della tenda e del fan https://marshydro.eu/products/mars-hydro-100x100x180cm-grow-tent/ https://marshydro.eu/products/4-inch-inline-duct-fan-and-carbon-filter-combo-with-thermostat-controller/

Welcome to my King's Tart Diary sponsored by Green House Seeds & Xpert Nutrients. Veg Days 22-45 weeks 4-6.5 Plant is loving these Nutrients. Been stuck in a 1.7L pot its grown really nice shape not stunting at all. This wk I'll move these plants from this small pots into 7pots to veg them for 3 more weeks to make em much bigger. Been a very hard job keeping these small pots balanced as the plant dries them up twice a day drinking 2x 200-250ml. So I've been feeding 2x every 6 days. And giving the low EC Nutrients as follow up feeds that v help break down the core npk Master Grow Part A+B 400-450PPM 2 FEEDS 2 TIMES EVERY 6 DAYS. FEEDS This small plant has been drinking 4-500ml a day. With it been so small I feed like this MASTER GROW PART A+B 2.4x.8 lml/1L. silica .1ml-1l 300ppm was given twice a week with 250ml feeds and 250 of just Water later that day ph was kept between 6.6 6.7 (as that's my taps ph) 1 day I make sure it gets enzymes + silica and add these in small amounts when I need to ph master grow. 1 day they get master root ph is unchanged 130ppm 250ml + 250ml of tap later that day 1 day they get calmag 150ppm added to 1L of tap and 250ml is given and water later that same day 2 Master grow Feeds every 6-7 days 250ml 300ppm 1 calmag 150ppm 2 master root, enzymesz silica used to adjust ph when needed and given solely once a week for the past 3 weeks. These have been my rough feeding table as big and old as the plant is, its size and intake of fluids plays a more important role..and doesn't need tweaking but consistency. Applied LST clips this week am going to move them into pots where they can get bigger. As these pots are to small to switch from veg to pre flower. Will veg for 2-3 more weeks. Using the same methods with slight water increase to sustain a full day without needing 2 feeds. Thanks to Xpert Nutrients for allowing me to try their whole line. Doing an amazing job. Great stressless grow that's fairly big been in such a small pot 'thus far. Using my SF-1000 until space opens and v will be moved under my SE5000 480W that's running at 80% now in my main tent. Shout out to Bella for the light Thanks to all my viewers much appreciated. I look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.

Day 43 and things are progressing well but I still have some time to make up if I'm going to stick to this year's planning and need to get this run done asap, I pulled the girls out and gave them a eco neem shower for preventative measures and I will flip them to flower by days end, hopefully they show no signs of nutrient deficiency I've encountered during flower while using up the old mega crop formula, I'm guessing it's a mag deficiency as Epsom salts seem to keep it in check. Any advice on this would be great. Stay safe and happy growing.
