Hello this week has been so chaotic by personal life that these baby's has been not best cared but they seem to forgive it to me?
My amino acids end so I put 1.3ml micro if it have some kind effect?
Hairs are getting colored and THANKS big time for tips!
There was some sh.t what's blocking water flow + fan burns are the things that costs perfect color at the corner but I'm clad that mistakes happend so I can learn from them.
But nothing major haven't happened and amino acid stay at food circle till the end and some bud bluster come as well but till next week.

I'm satisfied from tbe overall yield, 65 grams dry is good, but I would have expected more.
The smell and taste are awesome and it's very strong, it gives you good appetite and the high last long.
Buds are a little bit airy but this must be that the light source is not enough.
That's all lads, have been a pleasure updating this diary, and now I'll focus on the other one running that is coming up really nice. It's not a very cultivated phenotype on the site, so come and check it out!
Stay tuned and stay high nice people!!

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023
1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal.
Added
39 Gallons of Water to my system
SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil
Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil
Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil
FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil
FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil
FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil
ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil
Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023
Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green.
Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023
Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light.
Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023
A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her.
Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023
Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62.
Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed.
Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023
Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on!
Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy.
Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023
Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves.
IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning.
Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

whatever it is, it's a pity, but you can't fight with Nature :) as far as I can see from the drone flight, the girls are simply gone :D:D they are under water,.... it's a pity.... it rained a lot during the week, there is a river 300m away which flooded, here is the result: D I see this for the first time in 9 years .... well, nothing new automatic seeds, already thrown into the ground :) so I will wait for new girls :).

Learned a bit this first week.
Switched up the set up in the tent a few times and didn't take light adjustment into consideration. Feeling like the plant on the left could stretch a bit more but keeping the light around 24" should so the trick.
Also, fed way too heavy the initial feeding switching from CannaStart to A&B. Minor signs of nute burn is coming into play with the tips but I dropped from 800+ PPM down to 5-600PPM 😆🤦♂️.
Taking notes on each feeding including Ph, PPM and EC so I'm cool with going through some lessons on this first run.
Either way I think they're truckin right along! Sitting on Day 12 from seed, I honestly feel like they're crankin!
Any comments, questions or suggestions are welcome!

At week 8 from the seeds popped and I think there’s maybe a week or even more
Left to go , the breeders details for both strains says 8 weeks to harvest
But I know these are only guidelines and based on perfect conditions .
I’m really starting to see the flowers fill out and the smell is getting stronger the end is near :).

Woche 5 und der Stretch nach oben beginnt endlich.
Die Pflanze ist jetzt 50 cm breit und durch das Topping / Scrogging und dem 4eckigen Terra Aquatica Topf wächst die Pflanze auch quadratisch in das ScrogNetz rein.
Höhe 25 cm, ich gebe ihr noch 4 Wochen Vegetation Zeit und stelle dann auf 12/12 um.
Sie hat jetzt in 1 Woche fast 10 cm an Höhe gewonnen und trinkt 2 Liter in 3 Tagen.
In einem Monat könnte sie 45 cm hoch und 60 cm breit sein.
Und zum Schluss eventuell 70 cm hoch und 80 cm.
Mein Ziel sind 90g Ertrag..

Day 72: The Finale 🌿🌟
It’s finally time. My very first grow is coming to an end—at least the cultivation phase. The plant is now ready for harvest, and I can’t believe how incredible this journey has been. I never expected to enjoy the whole process so much—from nurturing the plants to watching them grow and evolve. I’m absolutely hooked and can’t wait to dive into the next steps: harvesting, drying, curing, and of course, starting a new grow soon with fresh ideas and experiments!
While it may not be the largest yield, the quality of the buds speaks for itself. The time, love, and care I’ve put into this grow is visible, and I’m pretty proud of the results. I’ll admit, I was a bit impatient at times (which I think every first-timer can relate to 😅), but the experience was priceless.
Here are a few interesting highlights from my trimming and harvest process:
1️⃣ Dark Phase Before Harvest
Two days before harvest, I put the plant in complete darkness to encourage resin production. I'm not sure if it really made a difference, but it was worth trying!
2️⃣ Wet Trim vs. Dry Trim
I decided to go for a wet trim because the buds were really dense, and I wanted to avoid any risk of mold. I’ve read that wet trimming can speed up drying and may slightly impact the quality, but this is part of the learning experience. Next time, I’ll try a dry trim for comparison!
3️⃣ Yield Update
Wet, the total came in at 179 grams from my plant. Trimming took around three hours, and it was actually a lot of fun, despite the time commitment.
4️⃣ Curing Plan
The buds are now hanging in the tent for about 8 days. Once dried, they’ll go into jars with Boveda Packs (62% humidity) for another 3 weeks of curing. I'll update the smoke report once they’re fully cured, but I’ve already had a sample of the same strain from a friend, and I can say it’s pretty amazing.
Final Thoughts on My Grow 🌱✨
As mentioned earlier, this grow has been an absolutely incredible experience, and it has definitely set me on a path to jump right into my next grow. There were ups and downs along the way, such as over-pruning, which I believe stressed the plants a bit. Additionally, I think they could have benefited from an extra week to mature. We also faced many temperature fluctuations this summer, which impacted the plants due to external weather conditions.
I'm really pleased with the quality of the buds. The quantity is okay—I can’t fully gauge it yet—but I’m sure there’s more potential to unlock. I've gained valuable experience in what worked well and what didn’t. Overall, the countless lessons learned during this grow far outweigh the few mistakes made. I'm incredibly proud of my first results!
As this long journey comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who followed along. I hope you enjoyed all the content. In that spirit, happy growing, and see you next time! 🌟

I really enjoyed growing this plant. It had a hard start due to my errors and poor environmental conditions, but it bounced back quite good and finished with a very good yield!
It reached number 2 in all my harvests, loosing to Moby Dick. However, I'm pretty sure that his SSH is reaching at least 21%, while Moby Dick was on the ballpark of 16%. The buds look much more crystalized as well.
It's my favorite sativa so far, and I'm gonna to grow it again pretty soon!
I'll be back with more comments after 1 month of curing and smoking

Did some defoliation just to clear the lower side and open it to some air. I was late with the watering on the 18th as you can see in the picture but nothing serious happened. Other than that nothing special this week.

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱
Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼
Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱
Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱
Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

She has received no water after a full week I have pruned the soil early today to promote co2 for her roots. I think she is recovering her second true leaves have grown at a steady pace with no signs of deficiency I will keep her dry as long as she copes with the drought!
