Great. Week. No signs of mold or pests. Seeing plenty of lady bugs still and this is now almost a month after I first released them. Seeing some dragon flies and assassin bugs too. Niceeee Plants are doing super well. No deficiencies with plenty of swell occuring. More in some than others. The zkittles phenos that flowered early are almost ready. Maybe one more week or less.

JOANNE'S CBD / ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS WEEK #20 OVERALL WEEK #8 FLOWER This week she's looking good and she's doing great her buds are getting bigger and they even got a little trichome coverage just a few more weeks!! Stay Growing!!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!!! THANK YOU ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS!!! JOANNE'S CBD / ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS

Week 4 – Blue Sunset Sherbert The plants are thriving in week 4 of flowering! 🌱 I added a layer of Greenhouse Feeding and Allmix on top to ensure they have enough nutrients until harvest. 🌿 The buds are swelling nicely, and resin production is clearly ramping up. ✨ The scent is also getting stronger, with noticeable citrus notes coming through 🍋. I slightly adjusted the light distance to optimize their development. 💡 Excited to see how they progress—stay tuned for more updates! 😎 --- Woche 4 – Blue Sunset Sherbert Die Pflanzen gedeihen prächtig in der vierten Blütewoche! 🌱 Ich habe eine Schicht Greenhouse Feeding und Allmix oben drauf gegeben, damit sie bis zur Ernte optimal versorgt sind. 🌿 Die Buds nehmen ordentlich an Größe zu, und die Harzproduktion wird immer intensiver. ✨ Auch der Geruch wird stärker – die Zitrusnoten sind schon deutlich wahrnehmbar 🍋. Ich habe die Lampenhöhe leicht angepasst, um das Wachstum weiter zu optimieren. 💡 Bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht—bleibt dran für mehr Updates! 😎

So here we are, day 72 september 8th. RIP first grow, I shoulda had a dehumidifier guys.... The 3 other plants are transpiring wayyyy too much and I didn't realize how much of a humidity problem it would cause. Low and behold, it ruined my girl. I believe only the main cola is affected. Can I chop her top off and continue on till the rest of her buds ripen? What can I do ?? Please help I fucked up, this really sucks ass.... EDIT EDIT: ITS NOT ROT YAY! IT'S SPIDER MITES I BELIEVE! I saw a little red bug and i was like OH SHIT. Turns out they can leave little webs in your buds. Any recommendations on how to treat this ? EDIT 9/10: Okay, after not wanting to believe it was mold.... it was mold. lol. I removed the top part of the main cola that was in the early stages of bud rot (botrytis) I have never seen the inside of a developing bud like this. I wasn't really sure exactly what I was looking at lol. So I probably removed more than I had to and some parts probably could have been salvaged but fuck that I just got rid of all of it. Cleaned the tent with lysol disinfecting wipes and got a cheap dehumidifier. I am almost 100 percent sure I am gonna have to buy a 150-200$ dehu in the near future..... i hope not tho. ALSO, changed light schedule back to 20/4. 10 AM off, 2 PM on. Hopefully this will help with some cooler temps during the day. :) and @Philindicus recommended I switch it, I am gonna take his advice this time after he warned me of mold issues xDDD Sept 11th Day 75 - Got a 50 pint GE dehu setup today, big boy moves. Plants are thriving now, 55% RH controlled and ooooo its so nice! Feels good to regain control over the grow again xD. Will post some nice pics tomorrow :) Sept 12th day 76 - sorry no pics again today, just been super busy :p Plants are still thriving, currently 50% rh in the tent and 74.5f degrees :) TEXTBOOK! Catch y'all tomorrow ;)

Update of Goofiez 2 !! It’s incredible this strain is so strong and fast grow !! Stay tu ed

She is plodding along nicely. A nice stocky plant. No smell just yet or any purple colours yet. On full feed with no issues. Hopefully even better than the last one.

Wachsen unbesonnen schon gute Blüten Bestände werden aber die Tage rein geholt aufgrund von Schimmel Gefahr und schlechtem Wetter fürs weitere Wachstum, zu kalt und zu feucht

may 11: start of week 7

👌💪

hello everyone I had a very positive week on my Barney’s Tropicana banana colas are forming and hardening full of resin are on the flowers and leaves the harvest is coming soon I am very happy good luck everyone😘👍👍👌🙏🏻

Final stretch for the Cheese trees twins. Amazing smells inside the grow room. Smells great, but this dank ass smell, lingers in the air. Not sure which is creating this odor, or maybe just a mixture from all the ladies. Straight water for the next week. Once I get them down under the 200 ppm mark, I will be dropping these ladies. The tops of these ladies are super heavy. Light cables are stopping them from bending right over and hitting the floor. These Cheese have been healthy through the entire grow. Haven't lost a single leaf and all remain healthy. One healthy strain and a pleasure to watch grow and bloom. Looks like it will be a breeze to trim up.👍

😍 caked with trichs but still need to plump up a little. All good theres some time left! She looks really healthy, tiny bit of nute burn i noticed this week so dialed down the nutes just a bit and kept around 1100ish. Got co2 going and started addign the P booster, still foilair feeding for the last couple times before I stop. I'm giving the ladies the full spas treatment in there Lol

What a run this was, harvested at day 70 of 12/12. Pheno #1 was the iciest from the start and hasn’t disappointed ever since. Amazing and beautifully stacked buds with and insane amount of trichomes! She looks truly amazing, very exotic bud structure too! The smells are out of this world with artificial cherry, cookies and gas terps. Can’t wait for her to be dried and cured for the final smoke test!

Week 9...coming down the home stretch. The buds keep adding more frost by the day. My dehumidifier stopped working in the middle of the night yesterday, I didn't catch it until evening. I hope it didnt start mold growth. The tent was 80% humidity for about 8 hours! The smell in the air is starting to become very dank like a very fruity diesel.

BANANA PURPLE PUNCH - 420 FAST BUDS This plant started off stunted and looking all round unhealthy but I gave hear time lowered her nutrients and she’s come right back to life forming nice dense dark purple buds … The smell is amazing she smells of berries and lemony woody gassy smell. Nothing like banana if you ask me! Cannot wait to smoke this strain DRSHOTZUK

welcome to Day 64 2/19/2021 she still has not really looked like she is putting on weight but I'm still hopeful there is not much to say really at this point so if you have any questions shoot. happy growing and as always keep your stick on the ice

This week has been good. Did a major defoliation getting all the bigger fan leafs off. Really opened up the light to those lower flower sites. This strain is taking its time, so I have a feeling the colds are going to get massive. All in all Happy Growing.

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. Had some ups and downs with this plant. mainly the extreme yellowing that was happening. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and I feel this has suffered in the end. The top best looking buds could have been larger and the lower ones could have been thicker. There is some smells with this plant but they are not pronounced. Just smells like mild basic weed, this would be one reason not to grow it, however, the crystals on this plant have been the most I've ever grown before. When trimming them every time the scissors snipped or the brush stroked I saw some falling down onto the tray. This plant would be great for making hash. had a good little ball of finger hash at the end of it and will be giving that to my friends to smoke or make a strong edible with. I don't plan on growing this strain out again, the lack of smells and the fact I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. most of the lower growth is quite larfy but will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 5.34oz or 151.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷151.6g = 2.22 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 151.6g = 0.24c/g It cost 24c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode
