9/16/23 - Day 106 - Today was the last day of nutes. Tomorrow I start my 6 day flush with just PH 6.1 water. This is the last step before the chop! I'll throw some pictures up tomorrow of the last water exchange. I'll take some videos of the process as well. 9/17/23 - Day 107 - I added a video uptop to show how a manual water change is completed. There are two options when you start your grow to either use a water hook up or add and remove water manually. I got the unit so quickly that I didn't have my water hook up ready. For the next grow it will be ready for automatic everything. Over the next 6 days I'm going to let her drink up as much water as she can then on the 23rd I will harvest and then hang them in the box to dry. 9/22/23 - Day 112 - I've been on vacation for the past week. I turned 40 on the 18th and I took the family to Disneyland. I've had someone managing the box for me in my absence. The box is so easy to use the person who is house sitting was able to keep the operation going. That's a great sign that anyone can do this. Tomorrow is the chop! I'm super excited! So far this week she has been taking in 2x the amount of water than normal. She's dying and she knows it! She still looks just as green, no welting. Looking good. Check out the photo up top. I just got home after a CRAZY long drive home. The plant still looks the same as far as color. I was expecting her to welt, and to have yellow leaves. But she looks like shes still doing good. This is nuts. Shes not really showing any signs of dying even though shes been in .7 ppm for over a week! I may let it go another day or two? Im not really sure, I'm in super unchartered territory, you're all going to learn this along with me. Ill post updates.

Prepared 9 , 5 gallon fabric pots. Started presoak of beans at noon on August 31st. About 4 hrs then switch to pure water for 8 more hours. Around midnight switch to paper towel and plates. Set heat pad @86°. Prep solo cups with Light Warrior ff, on the 2nd of September check tails and plant in solos. Wet solos the day before and start heating them up on the mat in domes. After seeds pop in solos wet the center of 5gal pots until runoff and start heating main tent with the big pots in it. Transplant seedlingson or around September 7th. I'll try to remember to post a germination pic. I use rain water with 5ml calmag per gal with a ph 6.0-6.5 no adjustment to the ph is needed. That's how I water throughout the grow, unless I see a deficiency that needs immediate attention. Soil is a mixture of Fox Farm soils , I added pumice, perlite, peat, moss, ewc, compost, guano, langbeinite, dietamacieous earth and dry fertilizers like Dr EARTH Bud and Bloom, or Pennington tomato. Installing bamboo frames for LST. I'll LST and top once usually. Manifolding is fun but takes an extra 2 weeks for me so I have started to avoid tall strains. I've grown Wedding Cake a few times, also Chemdog and Gelato, but the N. Lights and Peyote WiFi are gonna be a new experience. No idea what PW will be, they were freebies won in the Seedsman 4-20 contest 2021. Pretty sure the Northern lights will be similar in size to wedding cake. It will all get sorted out over the next 7 weeks. Ill move them around until a conopy looks good. That 2x4 tent is mainly for germinating seedlings and drying harvest but can also be useful for overfolw or quarantine. The 4x4 is taller plants. The 3x5 with that vioer spectra 480w light is bad ass but does have limits on total plant height, really really strong light.Alright that's it, I'm back with no name or gender changes, had some success and failure here before, I expect that trend to continue.I'll be checking your darlings out. 8/2 added a few more beans to the paper towels. These old beans from GOG seem to be bad, probably due to the factory seed pack. They are blister packs with plain card board backing, the plastic is heavy butvonly on the top for protection from crushing. Obviously not good for storage , so much for trying to maintain humidity. Added six more chemdog millionaire and 4 more Northern Lights beans to the paper towel for germination last night so far all these chemdogs and northern lights haven't germinated. The wedding cakes spouted then died before the tails were a quarter inch long. I've never had so many fail. This is gonna take a while but I'll eventually find some beans that aren't full of dust. Garden of Green love ya but this is bad. Update September 7th I've added- 3 Black Sugars, 6 White Widows, 5 Hellfire OG, all failed they are just dry husk that sink and stay on the bottom of a glass with water. Out of 60 or so seeds I think 6 germinated and 4 actually became seedlings. Stating over with. 5 Seedsman Gelat OG feminized and 5 Seedsman Amnesia FAST feminized pre soaked last night then started paper towel method at 5am today. Still have 5 of 9 pots that are empty. What a fucking ordeal.im just gonna continue with what is up already and say day 1 was Sept 12. That's close enough for this mess.

One week left on the 2 that are already in flower. The third just started flowering in its 7th week for some reason. This was a decent grow. I learned a lot by messing up a lot. I’m most definitely a newbie. Will be doing another run on these immediately. Have to test my skills to have it grow faster and yield more. Thank you all who has followed our journey.

Pave was ready, took the tops and let the rest swell, also took down the tops from pink pillow.Gush mintz were getting to the point of over ripe, took all the heavy tops. Some rot was found. Took down the tops from the original blueberry, they were rock solid and just to the apex of maturity, the flowers were pristine save a few holes from moth larvae- also left the lower branches to fill out. Many hours of trimming already and I have not made a dent in the garden. Sugar cane and gorilla glue have produced massive colas and I plan on taking the mature tops next week. I had some trouble with the centurion tabletop trimmer but it was just due to massive amounts of sticky resin on the brush roller and blade. This is the stickiest and healthiest crop yet, perhaps it is due to the elecroculture antennas I made and installed this year (see week 2.) Bugs did not want any part of the garden this year except for the moth larvae and spiders (which were beneficial.)

Puse a germinar una amnesia, una haze y una Rocky, en una servilleta mojada en enraizante de lentejas dentro de un tupper. La Rocky nunca llegó a germinar, así que entonces puse la segunda amnesia. Las plántulas se han pasado a la maceta, con tres días de retraso para la haze y la segunda amnesia.

Another disaster on day 2 of the week :pp previous one avoided as the repair held tho, but a huge storm roughened her up this time :( it snapped one of the upper branch, I was also able to repair it so let’s see. However, her soil was really dry and she was bending at more than 90 degrees, which probably broke a few if not all roots. I’m waiting to see how she evolves, she also lost a lot of stability since then. But at the end of the day she’s at the end of her flowering, around 20% ambers 80% cloudy and nearly no white pistils anymore. I still need to flush her so finger crossed Final week!! She’s ready, will harvest somewhere during next week. Added additional pictures & videos :)) not super visible on the picture but she actually shows some purple trichromes! Look a bit maroon-ish on the video but I confirmed it’s not mold with a lens. I think we’re around 30% amber 70% cloudy now, probably will harvest it all at once.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. The plants are starting to fill out now. I'll flower them for another 2 weeks, and I'll flush them for the last week. Still disappointed with the amount of resin crystals they seem to not be producing. Yeah, they've got some but is it enough to get me high? That's the question that I'm asking myself. The description says up to 25% THC, but I'm not seeing that amount of resin crystals for 25%. But the plants are growing well. Still a lot of white stigma's going on some plants. But some have finished and turned the stigma's an orange/brown. I'll flower these plants for another 2 weeks and I'll flush for the last week before harvest. Ever just listened outside at midnight on new years eve. I've heard, people beating pots and pans, fireworks, hoots and halers. car/truck horn's, ship horns/whistles, train whistles. It lasts for about 15 mins and then it's quite again. OK. Have Fun on New Years Eve. Be safe and don't drink too much. Chuck.

FastBuds Mystery seed #1. Well, the leaves are all fading and falling off. I did a quick defoliation of those fully dead leaves. I thought she was really done. However, the trichomes still look glassy. She is still drinking. I am continuing to feed as well. I wonder how she will finish flowering with such a small amount of leaves to photosynthesise. Below is what I did this week. 10.6.25: The plant was watered with 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2. I added per 6.5 litres ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1/4 TSP Sea K(elp) PPM: 605 PH: 6.2 I decided to feed each plant separately and mix it up in the 2l jug. 12.6.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1/2 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.4 PPM: 890 14.6.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1Tsp Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.4 PPM: 890 15.6.25 I gave 3.5l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with the following nutrients; ♡ 12ml Ecothrive Flourish PPM: 463 PH: 6.2 17.6.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.3. PPM: 436 Hopefully somehow the plant can manage to reach the finish line! Fingers crossed. Thanks for checking out my diary and following along 😊🍃✌️💚🤞
