Well, sadly had to harvest a week early due to some bud rot. Gave everything a good wash with baking soda, lemon juice and double rinsed. Hang dried for 10 days, paper bag to sweat for 2 days, then straight to grove bags. Full weight dried, just over 1lb. I fimmed so much in anticipation of rot, so while the buds were smaller there was a LOT. Test smoke was amazing, shocked how smooth it was with zero cure, packed a punch to! I expect the humidity to rise a bit in the grove bags over a few days, hoping 60% range. I mostly make FECO for gummies with everclear extraction, so excuse the less then tight trim, trichomes are trichomes! Ended up snipping the second haul 10 days after first, still going strong, but very wet, dont expect it to last much longer. Never going back to synthetic nutes, sticking with organic living soil from this point on! Got Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower on order for next year, plan on doing a 16 cola manifold with some LST. Will cut the trunk and let the root mass decay over winter, will mulch leaves and compost over it all until next years plant is ready to go in around April. Another year down! Happy growing everyone!

Salutations, my fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Welcome to the much-anticipated Week 3 Flower Report for our radiant queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. The journey through the flowering phase is akin to watching a mesmerizing performance, and Jealousy, true to her name, has us all captivated. As we transition into the third week of flowering, the grow room has transformed into a sanctuary of delicate buds, and Jealousy, adorned in green jewels, is perpetually in prayer. It's like witnessing a botanical congregation, where each bud is a devout follower, reaching for the heavens in pursuit of the ultimate floral nirvana. Now, let's talk about the delay. The ticking clock of the contest deadline has kept us on our toes, and yet, Jealousy stands resilient. Despite the time constraints, she continues to unfurl her petals with grace, and I can't help but marvel at her determination. It's like a race against time where our green queen is sprinting toward the finish line with unwavering resolve. In the midst of this floral ballet, the clones, those green offshoots of our regal Jealousy, have rooted with astounding success. It's like witnessing the next generation of botanical royalty sprouting from the roots of their majestic ancestor. These rooted clones are not just a testament to Jealousy's genetic prowess but also a green insurance policy for the future. And let's not forget the continuous prayer pose that Jealousy maintains. This phenomenon, known as "praying leaves," where the foliage points upward toward the light source, is a visual testament to the plant's happiness and optimal conditions. It's like Jealousy is sending leafy blessings to the botanical gods, asking for a plentiful harvest. As we navigate the third week of flowering, let's extend our gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron, the silent architects of our green utopia. Their contributions continue to shape the landscape of our horticultural adventure. A hearty applause to the Grow Diaries community – your shared experiences and collective wisdom are the threads that weave the fabric of our green journey. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your buds swell with abundance, and may the contest deadline bow down to the prowess of your green kingdom. Here's to a week of perpetual prayer, botanical grace, and the anticipation of a harvest that will leave us all in awe. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

Flipped these girls to flower on day 26. Most of them have been looking good and growing pretty fast. I topped off the reservoir and added a little maxibloom. All 8 plants are drinking a total of about 2 gallons of water per day now. I kinda slacked on training them this week, but I will try to get them spread out some over the next week. I have been pulling a few fan leaves from the bottom so they can get good air circulation.

✨First off, wow. I was just out from the house for 5 days and my first reaction was WOW, it has sprouted so well. ✨ I think one of the best things of this hobby and growing process is when you don't see your plants for several days and when you do, it amazes you every time. Hopefully in a good way. D30: 👉 Looking more closely I see that the plant wasn't up for the upped dosage of nutes. 😿 I see nutrient burn on leaves and they are all curled down. 🌊 Gave it a good flush hoping it will regain balance. Will sligthly adjust the amount of nutes this week. 👉 I've adjusted this weeks nutrition information to the adjusted schedule. 💡 I don't know if flush is absolutely necessary, but I don't want to risk it. Decided to give it good 2-3 flushes on aone shower session. I know this will also equal as over watering, but I think it's less an issue than overdosage of nutes. This is what can happen if you decide to (slightly) give more nutes to the plant and then leave the house for 5 days. 🤦‍♂️ 💡🌻 Second thing I see is that okay, seems like this auto flower baby is starting to build buds. Wasn't hoping to see this either as I was planning to give the plant some LST/HST. Which I decided I will still do, because the space is tight, alright. I have no idea if I'm going to stress the plant too much now. But I have to do this one and will stop immediately if it seems to go to hell. ✍️ Note to self: "To hell with auto flowers." 😾 👉 Setup change: I used to only have my 2x20W LEDs, now added the other 2x20W for blooming phase transfer, in total 2x20W grow & 20x20W bloom. I will start the shift to bloom this ongoing week and switch to all 4x20W blooming lights with 12/12 change. 💡 Lots of changes coming in this week. Will it be too much for it to handle? We'll see! D31: 👉 Seems like it's handling the change well for now. I'm going to water it once the soil dries up a bit. I'm gonna make a shift from Alga Grow to Alga Bloom and gonna 50/50 them for the first transition week. Updated diary nutrients to match what I'm going to do. ✨🌿 Amount of shoots seems promising, about 8-9 of them. D32: 👉 This thing is looking better and better by the day. I'm getting super excited as I already thought that I've screwed up with this. 😻 👉 As this is the transition week, I'm doing a lot of micro managing of the environment and to the plant itself: ⚡️ I've tightened all of the strings for better control of the canopy of my baby ⚡️ I also shifted some of the big leafs of taller shoots under short shoot leafs in order to give them a proper amount of light as well ⚡️ I've organized the lighting to be in order of: Grow Bloom Grow Bloom (=4 strips of LEDS) 💡 I'm still worried about the tips of leaves as they are showing signs of over watering (because of flush) on top of the nute-burn. 💧 Even though of the signs of over watering, I will give a 0.5L of nutrition water so the grow process keeps on going and there will be no shortages to nutes distribution for the baby. This might be dumb tho. After this, I will wait out for it to fully dry. D34: 👉 Looking better and better, more lil beginnings of buds showing up and LSTing is going rather well. I've made minor changes to the strings every day for full control of the canopy and now even the most shortest shoots are leveling up to the tallest ones. Mission accomplished in my books. The bright green shoots and the amount of them is just 😻😻😻 ✨🌿 Amount of shoots seems promising, about 16 of them. 👉 I've made changes to lighting schedule, last night they had first ever 16/8 lighting, next night will be 14/10 and the night after that we going in 12/12 mode as first official week of flowering is starting (even though there are little bud hair here and there already 😋). 👉 Today I've added 3rd bloom-light making the order of lights G B B B. ❓ Why am I doing things so gradually? Well I just love to micro manage and I'm here to make sure the plant will not go into any shock because of sudden changes to environment. I know it wouldn't go, BUT.. I think I've shocked it enough with my inaccurate nutrition planning + over watering.

Day 50- All looking quiet good so far, no complaints. Fairly easy grow once you set up your plants training in veg. Only minor defoliation here and there when needed to expose bud sites to the light. Happy with the girls at the moment.

Well week 12 and week 2 of flower started yesterday 8/22. Other than the clones everything is looking good. But to be fair I haven't really done much with them. They're like a bastard step child, I only kept em around out of moral obligation. Lol. J/k...sort of. Nah, just some weird bumps on a couple leaves and from what I can tell it's a copper and or zinc thing so I'm gonna get some Proactive, lol. So the mothers have definitely stretched, lol. Bruce has been shorter than Sky the whole time but whatever. That's pretty much it. Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/24 AND WE HAVE BUD STARTING ON THE CLONES!!!!!!! UPDATE: 8/25 Just uploading a few pics. Happy growing ✌️🍀😎

Week 4 Update: Plant Growth: Noticed some plants lagging behind by 5-9 days, so I've been focusing on giving extra care to these ones. Implemented Low Stress Training (LST) on the stronger plants, particularly the Gorilla Glue and Gelato varieties, to encourage more even growth. Weather has been a mixed bag – occasional bursts of sunlight, but mostly rainy days. To compensate, I've set up a makeshift box with LED lights to ensure the plants get consistent light exposure. Nutrient Management: Adjusted feeding schedule to once every 2-3 days to provide a balanced mix of nutrients. Using a combination of guano, worm tea, and Grow NPK Autogrow mix to feed the plants, which seems to be working well so far. Considering adding Cal-Mag to the mix to ensure the plants are getting all the nutrients they need for healthy growth. Observations: Despite my efforts, I can't shake the feeling that some of the plants might be experiencing slower growth than expected. It's a bit frustrating, but I'm staying patient and hopeful that they'll catch up soon. Looking Ahead: As I prepare for the next batch of seeds, I'm already thinking about the lessons I've learned from this experience and how I can apply them to future grows. Despite the challenges, I'm feeling optimistic about the future and looking forward to seeing how these plants continue to develop in the coming weeks.

Potted up yesterday and a little lst, this will probably be the last time I run the strawberry lemonade cuttings and hoping to find a decent pheno from the orange punch to keep for at least another run or two.

The buds are still bulking a little more as of day 64. The trichomes are pretty milky/frosty so the harvest is getting close, but I am not going to rush it if the plant is healthy and the buds are not suffering. My best estimate right now would be between day 68 and 78 for harvest. Day 67: areas of amber colored trichomes are appearing on the calyxes, under 10 percent of total. this is what I have been watching for to indicate harvest time so I will be giving water from here out and begin cutting down the plant in a few days. Thanks for reading!
