9/23/23 - Day 114 - Today was going to be the Chop, but I will wait one more day. I was not able to dedicate the full time I needed to make this happen today, so I decided I would give it one more day.
One thing I am noticing is the color of the leaves. I've always wanted to grow a strain that has purple in it, and it looks like this plant turned super purple. I couldn't tell because of the lights.
9/24/23 - Day 115 - I'm 2hrs away from chopping. With the Leaf box, you have to stay on your timeline, No rushing it, and no waiting. Always right on time. I started the grow at 3 pm 115 days ago so from 3 pm - 3 pm is a full 24/hrs. I'll update after 3 p.m. I already have my tripod, tools, cleaning materials, etc., up and ready. We will drain the water, ill then remove the roots and clean out the tub. Then, I'll start to remove the branches one at a time. Once they are removed, I will then get the hanging supports in place. Then I will hang them upside down and hope there is enough room. :)
I've noticed I have a lot of views on this grow. One thing I feel I should do a better job of (based on all the messages I received) is documenting the process that I follow throughout the grow. So I'll start my next grow in November. I'll document it with better "this is how I do this in Leaf" type details. 2 hours and counting! See you at 3 PM!
9/24/23 - I started at 3 p.m. and finally finished around 9 p.m. Holy shit, am I tired...... I have a lot of pictures and videos to upload. I'll add some photos tonight with some videos to follow tomorrow. I don't know how much I have yet, I need to wait until I can jar them to weigh them. I was able to get all the buds off and hung. With a couple of bags of A/B stock (Snicklefritz) of leftovers that I didn't want to hang. In just the Snicklefritz, I had 219g of wet buds. Ill know the full dry amount in a couple of days.
I was REALLY happy with the amount of buds. There were more than 75 branches of bud to hang/dry. Its the most weed I have grown ever.
Now that the buds are all back in the box. The Leaf box will handle all of the drying process. It will maintain temperature as well as humidity. I now wait and check daily to check for dryness.
Here is a link to video on the Harvest. https://youtu.be/aZUOrljaioc
9/26/23 - The buds are way more dry today. Im getting some really nice citrus smell from them. I think one more day should work before I start putting them in jars. I already trimmed them. Its a prefrence on trimming before/after drying. Becuase I had so much I wanted to make sure there was enough air space. This is my first grow in this box so this will be floor, theres no where to go but up from here. Im hoping to finish out this journal in September with a final weight.

OK, im doing an update now becouse my breakup cake is going tranny!!(hermie)
I already have noiticed she was not growing as strong .. but u can blame that on anything , especially when growing outdoor..
but this morning i saw that she was g(r)oing 'bananas'!😢
I have put her aside from the rest (in the back of garden) but think gonna have to terminate her asap!..(and i will, right after this post👍)
The weed she will give will be filled with seeds and those seeds will be hermies too, so wothless..
and if i dont throw her away quick she can infect the rest.
So goodbye breakup cake..😢
who wants to eat a cake when they are breaking up anyway..😒 (just hiding my pain with lame humour 😳)
happy growing for all ✊

The buds are getting thicker.
But, so far, they do not impress me. Maybe it's genetics, I have a lot of experience with autoflowers, this is my first experience with photoperiod plants.

😿 well they held out as long as they could but 2:3 plants folded like a cheap suit.. a combination of stretch and crazy weight.. these buds are as dense as cucumber lol, even harder that the impossibly dense Critical P's we grew.. I had to invite a friend to give them a squeeze, to ensure there's more than 1 party to this fish tale lmao 😹..long story short the tent is a mess, we staked a few the best we could and made a few mains comfortable to finish on their side..we don't plan to move them until they're finished.. the next run in this tent will have to be aesthetically pleasing to make up for this hideous finish..*balance*..all plants are fading fast after cutting their feed, we're doing water only and they should be fully washed out come harvest ❤️..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone!!💡🌱 😽💨

Week 6/7? Effortless grow. Got the plants alternating on ACInfinity Self watering pots. These things are the best. Saving my butt when I'm unsure when to water, plants only take in what they need when they need it. Will be flipping to flower next week. Waiting on the rest of the 4x4 to fill out. Going to top dress 50/50 of gaia green all purpose and the power bloom before the 12/12 switch. Also plan to defoliate a bit as well. Taking some snips in the event we find a fast flowering finisher or something extra piffy from the Holy Communion pack.

The plants keep growing and the first pistils have appeared a little bit more than one week after the 12h/12h switch.
It looks like some of the leaves close to the fan received too much wind so I moved the fan to the other side of the crop to see if it's better, it seems to work.
The Blackberry Cake branches grew much this week and unfortunately I didn't see that the LST strings were too tight 😒 Now I removed them but they left some marks on the branches. It already happened to me with previous grows but the plants recovered 😎
It has been two weeks since the 12h/12h switch, I think I can expect some small flowers during next week 👊
Plants heights at the end of the week :
-------------------------------------------
Blackberry Cake : 50 cm
Jack Herer : 47 cm
Cashew Kush : 56 cm

Week 7 is ending today. I decreased my Macro nutrient by half. This week will probably be my last week using it. I took the Armor Si out of the regimen completely. I started using terpenz at 5ml per gallon. No issues still. Keeping my fingers crossed for everything to continue on cruise control. The rainbow cake and London mint cake is super frosty. They all have a pretty strong smell. I have clones and will continue to run the strain I like the best.

Day 37
We started with nutes today
Then all day long outdoors
From 6AM to 6PM
Plus CFL afterwards
They rest for 3 hours and then CFL again
Btw accidentally snapped one part of one big leave but that okay
Since we don't do defoliation on her
We guessing it's okay she will recover soon
Day 38
Since she's such a queen we wanted to upload a video showing how she starts flowering for the record, thanks a lot

Also don't forget to add your comment below, it is important to us!
We want to learn, any tips, suggestion, more than welcome my friends
Happy Growing
Day 39 Some mins before installing ScroG
Day 40 Wonderful, she's out of there already so huge, full of buds
Day 41 she's actually doing great full of buds but those 2 first leaves are a little bit sad looking weird plus those black dots idk and it's turning yellow in between I decided to remove it and well, I'm hoping she's doing well what else I could think of guys any help or concerns?
At the end of the day, she's overall healthy and strong
Day 42 Time to feed the babies, so we added 900PPM (300ml) floranova grow
Followed by 1590ppm (300ml) flora nova bloom to make sure she's got all nutrients balanced well, also added 400ml of plain water after that so they could get a nice run off.
I think they're happy and we gonna check on them in a couple days to see how they go, Ph is around 6.2
which is great
Temp outdoors from 7-@
1pm around 25C to 36C
Then back indoors
Temp is 28C and drop to 22 at night and dawn so they're good and comfortable
Keeping humidity lvls around 40/65% top
Nice AC and Fan for air circulation
Thank you all for your support

Left tent is a week ahead. Fair amount of stretching this week.
This time I’m paying close attention to keep flower sites high up. My experiment with bottom lighting did not went so great. I had a record yield but the quality was really bad in about 30-35% of flowers. Weak density.
I’m definitely going to try again from the beginning but not this time.
I have to pay attention to not let any plant get to big of a dryback in veg. It really influences the later stretching and make the plant too compact in sensitive cultivars.

Day 29 (Second Grow):
"Hey everyone!
Starting a new week with some exciting plans! 🌿 We've got about one more week before we transition the plants to the flowering phase.
Just to recap last week's updates for those following along:
We’ve named all the plants in both grows. This makes it easier to identify and keep track of each one, especially if they get moved around. It should also help you all follow along more easily with the pictures we post.
We've built a SCROG (Screen of Green) net for the plants. A SCROG net helps train the plants to grow horizontally, which maximizes light exposure to all parts of the plant and promotes more even growth. We're using it to ensure all plants get plenty of light and develop a uniform canopy.
We’ve placed a hygrometer among the plants to measure the humidity between the leaves. We've noticed that the humidity sometimes exceeds 70% in those areas. We're considering whether we need more fans, an intake ventilation system, or if a dehumidifier would be a better option. We're leaning towards adding more fans to improve air circulation, but we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to watch both grows progress and prepare for the flowering phase!"
Day 33 (Second Grow):
"Hey everyone!
Exciting news for our second grow: we’ve added a new member to the grow tent – a praying mantis! 🦗 Her species is Timor shield mantis, and she still needs a name.
We got her to help with pest control naturally. Praying mantises are excellent predators and can help keep unwanted insects away from our plants.
Feel free to suggest a name for her! Any tips or fun facts about keeping a mantis in the grow tent are also welcome!"
Day 34 (Second Grow):
"Hey everyone!
Big update today: we’ve switched the timer to a 12/12 light cycle to initiate the flowering phase! 🌸
Our second batch of plants, just like the first, has developed well and we believe they’re ready to start blooming. This change should encourage them to shift their energy towards producing buds.
For those following along, here’s a quick recap:
We've implemented a SCROG net to manage the canopy and ensure even light distribution.
We've introduced a Timor shield mantis for natural pest control.
The plants have responded well to all adjustments and are looking healthy.
Now that the flowering phase is starting, we’re excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this phase? Let us know in the comments!"
