it has stretched a bit under the sun because she had only about 4-5 hours of direct sunlight everyday on my window. Then I decide to move her indoors for flowering phase. 💪🙏

Indoors gets harvested the next days. Outdoors still need some sunny days

BEGIN WEEK 11 - Day 71 - 1/1 - Day 24 into flowering. 1+2 Fert Water. Day 72 - 1/2 - Day 25 into flowering. Soil pH seemed near 7. Needs more acidic soil. 6.0 pH Plain Water. Day 73 - 1/3 - Day 26 into flowering. Soil pH too high over ~6.8. Watered with 5.0 pH water. Day 74 - 1/4 - Day 27 into flowering. Fert Water 1 + 2ml. Day 75 - 1/5 - Day 28 - 4 Weeks into flowering. 5-6pH plain water. Day 76 - 1/6 - Day 29 into flowering. 5pH Plain Water to adjust soil pH too high over 6.8; almost 7. 0.5+1 Ferts added. Finally pH restored to 6.5. Day 77 - 1/7 - Day 30 into flowering. Feed 5pH Plain Water. END WEEK 11.

October 1 > Harvest morning. New trick... get up before dawn... cut your plant down and hang her upside down... then go back to bed. Hehe... I like this retirement stuff. We get smarter as we age. 😎 I did a fair job of plucking fan leaves before harvest morning so there wasn't that much work for me to do anyway on this girl compared to some of the other monsters she grew up with. Took me only about 90 minutes to complete my normal processing and washing. She developed into a wonderful purple color at the end there. The unique feature of this grow for me was that I never topped this girl. Subsequently she developed a huge single top cola that grew about a foot taller than the rest of the plant. Served as a demonstration of why we top plants in general. Hard for me to imagine what a bunch of these in the wild looks like but this is what WILD looks like. Diary note > I'll come back later and add weights and things. I threw in a weight of 100 grams as a marker to appease the gods. Total guess. ======================================================================== October 7 > Guess I underestimated my yield a tad... love when that happens. 😁 Ended up coming in at 212 grams buds and 181 grams trim. Woohoo. Another growing season officially comes to a close today. 👌✊ Initially I wasn't sure I wanted to use the Trimbag on this baby... because she was my last plant to harvest this year and I had plenty of time to hand trim her... and I harbored various possibly incorrect assumptions about the Trimbag originally which I have now shed. More on that later. Let me lay out my personal Trimbag history here as a learning experience for the community... ======================================================================== Originally I won this tool as part of my September 2018 diary winnings... and I looked at it strictly as a tool for fairly large scale growers.. of which I did not consider myself at that time. I grew an amazingingly oversized Durban Poison for a 5 gallon pot and I got lucky I thought. ... Then I took a look at how much herb I processed this summer and I said THANK YOU Trimbag! It saved me more than enough hours of hand trimming to demonstrate it’s usefulness. (October 12) >> Already slowing down in post-harvest mode hehe... so it looks like I did the same thing as last year diary-wise. Now I have another Trimbag on my hands but all I need is another magnet actually (hehe)... the zippers show no signs of sticking up at this point after me throwing about 2-3 pounds of herb threw the mill, and the overall bag has only lightly been used at this point IMHO. I'm a little surprised I lost that magnet and it's not a great sign for the longevity of the embroidery - so to speak, but other than that it's solid construction. And simple. I’ll be contacting Trimbag to see if I can acquire a new magnet and we’ll see how that goes. Back to my expectations... I only used this device on stuff I grew outdoors... of which I had enough... more than twice what I grew last summer - but that was by design. If I was to set out a general rule… I would say that I expect the weight of buds to be roughly equal to the weight of trim. This is AFTER I have thrown away any fan leaves plucked on the morning of harvest which are not saved as trim. I stop plucking when buds start to get ripped up if I don’t. Round 1 >> The first go was the early Amnesia 7 batch (Little Girl flowered early), and honestly, I was unimpressed. I looked at it as maybe I didn't let it dry long enough. I have a ritual of washing all my outdoor grown herb which has generally tended to cause things to dry a tad quicker than what one would expect in the field. I walked away from this initial experience like boy I hope I screwed that up and it works better on round 2. Round 2 >> Cream & Cheese CBD ... I think this girl did more to confuse me than anything else. The buds were not oversized but she seemed to take forever to dry. Part of this is probably attributable to excess humidity in the first few days - a weird week - we actually had some rain which is very unusual. But even after a week of drying I only managed 63g of shake on this batch (via the Trimbag). I'm going WTF? Ahem.... I ended up with 269 grams of buds for my Cream & Cheese. After that 63 g shake by bag I added 165 g trim by hand... and I was seriously wondering why this bag thang existed. Turns out C&C was not a good example.... so don't let the bad things weigh you down. Round 3 >> Next came Northern Lights - and my attitude changed completely. I harvested 319g buds, but the initial run with Trimbag generated 144g trim which I followed with 186g hand trim. NL had very dense buds and large internodal spacing which made trimming EZ. She was a monster… but at the same time I had her trimmed in under 4 hours. Of all the beasties I grew outdoors this summer, this was the largest yield for a single plant - but trimming her was a relative breeze, and it felt like it. I thought I hit the sweet spot for maybe how dry the herb needed to be for the product to work well… but probably only partially correct. Plant structure is significant. Round 4 >> Next came round 2 with Amnesia. As I noted in my diary I knew I was going to end up with a pound of herb on this particular strain so I tried to beat this particular batch up to minimize my hand trimming and see what the effect was. The end result of this was that I generated a smaller amount of buds from the larger sized pot (Little Girl was in a 10 gallon container and generated 235g buds/ 360g trim and Big Girl was in a 15 gallon container that generated 223g buds/ 493g trim). Round 5 >> Next came where we’re at in this here diary…Purple Berry Kush. Now originally I wasn’t sure I wanted to run this baby thru the mill. I THOUGHT that maybe because I hadn’t topped this girl and I didn’t put her in a pot bigger than 7 gallons which put her at a direct disadvantage vs my other outdoor girls that the yield would be substantially smaller, but I’ll be damned she ended up with 212g buds. Very satisfied there… and this stuff smells great when I let her get some air. The key here on trimming for this round was twofold. I let the buds dry longer than I normally would have by a few days… because I had nothing pushing me to make space for reason A… and because stuff was intervening for reason B… golf tournament… Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF (Robert Plant was awesome - we share the same birthday and he was 71 in August - I can only hope I’m still rockin’ that hard in 9 years)…you know - stuff. PBK ended up working out the best of all. 212g buds vs 181g trim. That’s the ONLY variant that ended up with more buds than trim. Part of that was how easy PBK was to maintain. I only did ONE major pruning of internal growth - probably later than I should have - I was trying hard to let her grow as wild as possible. But she was very easy to prune fan leaves off when that purple time came. It’s seems clear at this point that indica’s are easier to trim than sativa’s with a Trimbag…. but I’m not sure that’s going to be a revelation to anyone. As far as I’m concerned, anything that grows with an inter-nodal spacing that allows you to neatly separate your buds will work better with the Trimbag. DRY is a necessary ingredient for using this device. Probably drier than I am accustomed to… but that’s why somebody invented Boveda packs right? Anyway… I’m a VERY SATISFIED Trimbag customer at this point. It takes a little work to determine how dry your herb needs to be but even if you have to experiment, the number of hours you save from hand trimming will eventually make it worth your while… and as a newly minted senior citizen I can say that while my time might be free - anything that helps reduce pain - including time spent trimming - becomes quite significant. NOW —> The other side of this coin is that I will probably NOT use the Trimbag when I get back to indoor growing in early December… because I expect to be growing much smaller plants. Most of the things I’ve grown indoors top out at less than a couple ounces so it’s not clear to me that Trimbag is necessary with a yield that small… but I can test that theory later this winter. ================================================= hehe… I kinda promised myself “no more winter crops” after last summers bounty but I found that making edibles consumes a significant quantity of herb, and I really like my brownies. So now that I’ve stocked up to solve that problem, I plan to get back to some indoor growing (because growing is FUN)… mainly autoflowers. I actually have better control of temperature for things that I grow in winter as opposed to summer… but I have to add the heat to make that happen. That compares with the difficulty of adequate cooling if I run my lights during daytime in summer - even with night lights summer temps can be a problem with no AC. I don’t have AC in my house. It’s a function of California microclimates. If I lived 15 miles east of here - we’d BAKE with no AC (air conditioning). If it weren’t for coastal fog - this whole place would be a desert. With climate change - we’re heading that way even WITH the fog. We roll the dice here every winter and hope we get enough snow in the Sierra to hold off the firestorms that will come in the fall. We went thru a period of “drought” here in California a relatively short while back but even though we are officially out of our drought phase the fall firestorm intensity seems to be getting worse every year. But this is a clear sign I’ve consumed too much indica for one evening and I’m starting to lose track of.... just about everything. Anyhow… I think I’m about diaried out for this year. I have a pretty freaking serious vacation planned to celebrate my retirement for late next month… Las Vegas golf > Joshua Tree National Park camping > Palm Desert resort golf > Beach camping South Carlsbad > Torrey Pines golf > Laguna Beach > Pismo Beach camping > Monterey. It’s been about 30 years since I did anything this crazy (and that was a Grateful Dead tour in 1987 thru Arizona/Utah/California for my 30th birthday). Big difference this time around? Cannabis is LEGAL for the entire trip. I will be well stocked enough to sedate anything that gets near me. See y’all in December. 😎

The smell is pretty pungent and skunky. With a citrus smell if you squeeze the stem. Started the flush this week pretty excited for the harvesting. I'm at the 9th week of flowering. And I think 10 should be enough. I wanna thank @TheBudWhisperer for helping me with all my questions

Straw electric lemonade has an amazing smell already. It’s growing a lot like some Barney’s plants I grew last year.

She looks very healthy and beautiful. It was raining two days ago, so I decided to pour her some of that rain. As I said above, all I use is water and I give her light 24/7.

We have day 61 today, next update harvest 💪 --------------------- 👇 Week 8 (Pictures are from day 57+58 after 12/12, Trichomes pictures from day 60) - Just watering 1l / plant with calmag for the last 2 days. - PPFD at canopy height is approximately 750, with VPD around 1.3 - Harvest is around the corrner --------------------- Happy growing, and thank you for checking out my report! Your support means a lot to me! 🙏 --------------------- I appreciate every like and comment 👍👊😃

Overall Development Week 4 marks the transition into mid-flower. Stretch has mostly stopped, and the plants are now directing energy into bud formation. The canopy remains uneven, with some taller, thinner phenotypes and others more compact and structured. Bud sites are clearly established across all main branches. Flower stacking is progressing steadily, and early cluster formation is visible on the tops. Plant Health & Observations • Significant yellowing on older fan leaves, especially mid-to-lower canopy. • Some plants appear pale green overall, indicating high nutrient demand during bulk transition. • One or two phenotypes remain darker green and structurally stronger. • Lower interior growth is lighter and less vigorous. • Selective removal of old yellow leaves was continued to improve airflow and light penetration. Despite visible leaf fade, bud development continues actively. Bud Development • Flower clusters are expanding and beginning to connect along the stems. • Pistil production is strong and consistent. • Buds are not yet dense but are clearly transitioning into the bulk phase. • Resin production is beginning to increase. This week represents the start of the main swelling period. Environmental Adjustments • Temperature reduced slightly (~1°C) to stabilize the flowering environment. • Airflow maintained across canopy level. • Canopy density moderately thinned to prevent moisture buildup. • Light coverage remains strong across the upper layer. Current Focus (Entering Week 5) • Support nutrient demand during bulk phase. • Prevent excessive early leaf loss. • Maintain stable humidity to protect developing flowers. • Monitor weaker phenotypes closely for further decline or nutrient imbalance. Overall, the crop is entering the critical mid-flower stage. The next two weeks will determine final bud density and structure.

Overall i am satisfied with this strain and I do plan on buying more seeds from Barney’s farm. Very strong and stable genetics I highly recommend this strain to experienced growers as well as newbies. Very easy to grow and a great smoke.0

Día 20!!! Estamos en el punto de comienzo de la 4 semana de floración ! Esa en la que notamos como el cultivo nos da el cambio que queremos y a partir de los dos vemos como Nuestras flores evolucionan de una manera u otra dependiendo de clima,genética,nuestra mano con ella etc.. Vamos a comenzar la media floración bien cargados con la paleta de nutrientes alta en potasio y nitrógeno! Siempre añadiendo también,nuestras mañanas de agricultor. Tuve el fallo de abrir el tupper de lombrices y echarlas a el cultivo y no poderos grabar el proceso. Fue algo rápido que hice con el armario apagado..lo tuve que iluminar por un minuto para añadir la bola de lombrices unas 60!!! La siguiente tanda de flores si empezara a sacarle provecho a estas amigas!! Deciros que el cambio en altura es muy grande no para aún de crecer! Y las últimas están engordando mucho las flores a pesar de el corto periodo se ve que nuestra selección de amnesia haze,es un fenotipo muy especial.. Es de unas 8 semanas de floración y muy buena productora! Día 21 Primer día de la cuarta semana de floración tenemos una escalera Desde la puerta del armario hacia el fondo tenemos alturas que van 54cm/62cm/71cm/80cm Gracias a el control individual en altura de cada luminaria iré trabajando con el control de dividir el área en tres Alturas diferentes,así lo requiera cada planta. Una pequeña planta que está cerca de una rendija de ventilación tuvo unas pequeñas picaduras de tips”. Observaré si no es de un periodo anterior de antes del fumigado.. Si no es así trabajaré un poco de jabón potásico y ajo! De momento el olor es muy sutil. Algunas flores empiezan a producir resina de manera temprana. Dia 22 Va todo sobre ruedas,un verde lima en las hojas,las puntas tensas y bien firmes esperando el regado de mañana! Una humedad de un 55% en el armario,cerrándolo con un 59% una vez echo el seguimiento,inspecccion de este en el día de hoy. Seguimos con una semana de humedad en el exterior del 90% y toda una semana por delante de más lluvias. Seguiremos controlando la humedad como hasta ahora con los riegos. Guardo paciencia en las plantas que aún no llegaron a la red,para poder tener un control visual de todas las puntas! Me alegra ver la cantidad de flores que están produciendo por casi todas partes de la planta y la resina que empieza a producir alrededor de estas,es un gran fenotipo de amnesia haze,con gran rendimiento productivo de flores y resina. Todo un hacierto para quienes buscan genes de sativa bien marcados con un corto periodo de floración. Día 24 Primero felices fiestas y feliz navidad a todos. Mi pequeño jardín de pinos 🌲 jejejej está estos días espectacular,ya comienza a afinar el olor ese toque a madera recién cortada y ese fondo de lima tan característico de las haze,aaag que rico olerá en las siguientes semanas buen fenotipo y no es el más oloroso.. Esta semana la humedad ronda 65% después de un riego que fueron 60litros,más de un litro por planta!. Justo lo que va necesitando para esta etapa de formación y engorde de flores… espero que en los siguientes días vuelva mejor clima también a esta zona ya que estos días de agua fueron nefastos para la interacción de aire de el exterior..no ayudaban a reducir la humedad. Deciros que el riego se aplicó el día 23. Con una EC1300 PH6,3. Una de las 44 en el último riego sufrió un poco de sobrefertilizacion,mostrando está un poco de color en el tallo,rojizo. Solo una quedó más pequeña,siendo esta 52 cm. 🏴‍☠️ Dia 25 Todo perfecto,las plantas están al 100x100 Un color perfecto,las hojas tensas y cojiendo volumen como es debido. Ya solo queda mantenerlas,y que no sufran ninguna carencia nutritiva ni exceso de esta. Dia 26 Último riego de la cuarta semana de floración. Esta vez adaptando el riego subiendo la EC de 1400 a 1700. En la siguiente semana ya trabajaremos con una EC de 2000,si es que la planta lo permite ya que con la EC de la tabla no me convence. El PH sube a 6,3 y se mantendra entre 6,2/6,3 en el sustrato. El siguiente riego será otro con carga de azúcares y aminoácidos. Intercalando riego sí y riego no el PK 50-30. Hoy me sorprendió mucho lo definido que es el olor con la humedad ambiental exterior,teniendo la puerta abierta salía un rico aroma que gana más en madera que lima 🍋‍

We are starting the second week!!! The girls feel good, they are growing like crazy. Tomorrow we will transplant them into larger pots (10 l). I also increase the fertilizer dose to 2 ml/l. Maybe I'll start LST training this week. I still keep the lamps at 30 cm, but I increase the light power to 70%. I'm full of enthusiasm, keep it up! Thank you for all the likes and I wish you successful growth as well. 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂Hello to all cannabis lovers🤩. The girls have already been transplanted into 10-liter pots. I replanted them yesterday, but I only took photos today. Thanks to valuable advice from @Crashoverite, three days ago I stopped fertilizing and watered the plants with clean water. Thank you very much !!! 🙏🤪😁

Day 14, some supercropping Day 15 .. it’s under control 😂🤣 Day 19 lights almost maxed to tent height unless I zip tie led to the top ceiling frame, last bit of monster cropping. Lost 2 top nugs to physical led burn but it’s ok. Everything is fine. Still going very hard on soluble N, and Pk along with b+, fishsh!t, microbial mass, humic acid. Carbs every day with organic booster

GRANDPA ZOMBIE 🧟‍♂️ / IZI SEEDS WEEK #12 OVERALL WEEK #6 FLOWER She's roughly at the middle point of flower, this week and she's looking great 👍!! She's starting to stack up and get some fat buds that are consuming the space between the nodes. Additionally she's got a little funk coming off her Stay Growing my Friends!! Thank you for stopping ✋️ by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! THANK YOU IZI SEEDS GRANDPA zombie 🧟‍♂️ / IZI SEEDS

So meine Pflanzen Freunde es ist soweit dieses ist mein letzter Eintrag für diesen Strain. Die Blüten haben sich sehr gut entwickelt manche Buds sind in der Struktur rund, fest und dicht andere wiederum sind nicht so dicht bewachsen sondern ein bisschen fluffig. Die #1 und #4 waren von allen als erstes fertig, hier habe ich darauf geachtet das die Trichome schön wolkig sind ich wollte die Pflanzen auf dem Höchsten THC Stand ernten. Anschließend kam die #2 und die #3 hat von allen am längsten gedauert. #1, #2 und #4 wurden am Tag:74 gehackt, #3 hat am längsten gebraucht ganze 7 Tage am Tag:81 wurde diese außergewöhnliche Schönheit gehackt sie hat auch die meisten Knospen getragen. In der letzten Woche ist alles ruhig verlaufen als nächstes kommt der Smoke Bericht und das endgültige Wieg Ergebnis , leider habe ich doofi vergessen das nass Gewicht zu notieren zum Glück habe ich ein zwei nass Ergebnisse somit kann ich um den Daumen peilen was raus kommt.

This plant is in good heath but has a weird growth pattern very wild it definitely needed more like in early flower

Was gone for 4 days and Wholly cow has she stretched and grown! Update: did some defoliation, the roots were going into the gravity fed system so I trimmed the roots coming out of the bottom and elevated the pot for 4 hours to air prune the rest. Cut down one plant so she got to stretch out more!

Getting more sensative to nutes so I'm flushing to finish with final solution, no more bud rot, good smells coming now almost finishing and some âmbar tricombs.

Week 0 (germination week) 4 seeds directly into Strain chosen for Yield, this run will be about increasing yield, LST, & Defoliation techniques. Any advice any of you may potentially have for Training auto-flowers would be greatly appreciated Here is to a great Cycle and bountiful harvest!
