Another week in and the flowers are stacking up nice. Cyclo nutrients are feeding them well. No deficiencies so far. All levels in the correct parameters. The cheese are both huge plants. Need more light power in veg to keep them shorter next run.

Had various minor issues during the grow, but overall Master Kush finished great. Nice frosty dense smelly colas. Will try to update the harvest video once this is up. It will be on my YouTube channel for sure. The Unit Farm UF4000, and UF2000 lights worked great. Gonna cut her down and get to next one. Thanks again Unit Farm, and Weed Seed Express. 🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🍻🌱👍 Happy Growing 🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

3 Plants. 3 citrusy phenos! #1 : First to sprout rapid rooter. TASTE: Pure Lemon front end into hashy cakey afghani. refer to this as the "lemon hashcake" phenom very dense, beautiful nug structure. Yielded 24.5 dry grams of primo smoke. Uplifting more cerebral sativa high with some punch in body as well. happy stress reliever for sure! has some "gassy" or fuel notes to it but very subtle #2 Tangerine pheno: I orginally thought sour 76 was sour diesel x 76 Afghan til i read hso marks post on uk420 forums saying its cali sour d x 76 afghan. cali sour d is cali orange x sour d x mexican sativa. and it shows in this pheno which smell and taste pretty similar to tangie my friend grows which is cali orange x skunk 1 (mexican sativa x Colombian sativa x afghan indica) pretty similar genetics roots! Smell: Sweet tangerine 🍊 Taste: Just like tangerines 🍊 Medical Effects: Hybrid feeling effects felt both in body and mind.  Stimulating mentally, relaxing in the body.  Mild pain relief generally with amazing relief improving feeling in joints (reduced swelling or irritation in otherwise aching areas, loosened tension at joints) Notes: After breaking up or grinding the sweet tangerine open jar/bud smells turns more sour tangerine with very subtle gas aroma. This one is scary strong! I am an all day regular smoker of the most potent buds I can find, and I never make it thru 1 bowl of this without long breaks after each hit.  Starts off strong and creeps to EXTREME psychoactivity.  Not for the faint of heart this one might not be best for "new smokers" 😎🔥🔥🔥 yielded 26.1 grams if id have taken clones this woulda been the keeper of the batch, but I got more to check out in future run :) and I got a cloner and veg chamber to start keepin the keepers now I know i like the strain! #3 Lime Fuel pheno: Smell: Lime🍈 and gas ⛽ Taste: lime Medical Effects: Cerebral uplift. Creeper. thought it was weakest on initial smoke but 10 minutes in it end up being strongest high of all 3.  super wicked sativa, buzzy uplifting all similar to Cinderella 99 or strong jack herers this has almost a "scary high"  first few times but once you get used to it or microdose, it is a super fun creative medicine.  Helps my arthritis pains and gives me the clean up the house kind of high Notes: Foxtailed, lowest yield of 3 sour 76's likely because its place directly under the light (perhaps didnt like too intense direct light) but is the most potent of the 3 as well. yielded 22.5 grams of dry

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Week 5 of flowering It’s growing 😂 There’s not much to do, keeping an eye on the leaves helps me to tell if it still needs some nutrients or just water. I’ve been able to readjust the lack of Cal on 2 plants (Strawberry Kush) unfortunately 2 others plants (1 Super Skunk and 1 Banana Kush) were too deficient to catch back. I wish the Super Skunks were a bit more Indica. They are typically Sativa phenotypes, at 80% I would say, second time it happens in 3 years with this batch (ART. 1520007 , B19). Normally they’re perfectly balanced and produce plenty of massive colas in a very short period. 1 of the White Gorilla Haze is making proper dark purple flowers, it’s a very nice pheno. I will add more bud porn on next week 😊 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Another trouble free week. Just finished week 10 from seed. The Glueberry have flown along and apart from the #1 which has a couple more weeks fattening up in her, the other 5 should be ready to chop by nxt week 🤞🤞😁 Started the flush with just plain water at the start of this week and the fan leaves are yellowing and sucking the last of them nutrients up 👍 The Auto Mazar is much slower than the Glueberrys, but still, making some lovely progress and super healthy

well growth has exploded since the application of the soil activator last week. Also concentrated fish shit from my fish tank system was also applied liberally. Looks like they will be ready about 2 weeks early thanks to fast growth, great lights and the Gas Lantern lighting technique.

🌿 BHO EXTRACTION & CURING DIARY — INTRODUCTION Welcome, my friends — growers, learners, supporters, skeptics, and the simply curious. 💚 This space is dedicated to one thing only: honest documentation. This diary is a living journal focused specifically on BHO extraction, purging, curing, and cold curing, documented over time, across multiple batches and extraction runs, using a consistent method and philosophy. Here, I will be sharing: • different BHO extraction runs • different batches and materials • different curing timelines • different cold cure expressions • and how time, temperature, and patience shape the final medicine Each entry you see here may come from a different extraction run, but all are made using: • the same extraction method • the same safety standards • the same respect for the plant • and the same refusal to rush the process This diary is not about hype. It’s not about chasing trends or textures. It’s about understanding. ⸻ WHAT THIS DIARY IS (AND IS NOT) This diary is: • educational • transparent • process-focused • built slowly over time This diary is not: • a tutorial for beginners • a shortcut guide • a recommendation for unsafe practices Everything shared here is for educational and documentation purposes only, aimed at helping people understand why different BHO textures exist, how curing affects stability, and what patience actually does to medicine. ⸻ ❄️ WHY EXTRACTION & CURING ARE DOCUMENTED TOGETHER Extraction does not end when the solvent leaves. Purging, curing, and cold curing are extensions of the extraction itself. The final expression — waxy, crumble, sap, full-melt — is written by time, not by force. That’s why this diary will continue to evolve: • new extractions will be added • new curing timelines will be documented • new textures will appear • and comparisons will be made honestly and clearly Nothing is hidden. Nothing is rushed. ⸻ 🌱 HOW TO READ THIS DIARY Each sample or entry represents: • one extraction run • one curing path • one moment in time Some entries may look similar. Some may look completely different. That’s the point. Same method. Different runs. Different expressions. ⸻ 🌈 WHAT’S COMING NEXT As this diary continues, you’ll see: • additional BHO batches • longer cold cures • side-by-side comparisons • deeper dives into texture evolution • and real observations, not assumptions This is a long-form project. It grows the same way good medicine does — slowly. Thank you for being here, for reading with an open mind, and for respecting the process. More to come. Always. 🍯 SAMPLE 01 — WAXY / FULL-MELT EXPRESSION (01) This first expression is the one that leaned clearly toward a waxy, buttery, full-melt profile, while keeping the same golden color spectrum as the rest of the batch. At first glance, what stands out is the uniform gold tone — no darkening, no oxidation, no cloudy patches. The color remains consistent throughout, which already tells a story of a clean extraction and a proper long cure. 🔍 Visual & Physical Characteristics • Soft, waxy exterior with a satin / semi-gloss finish • Oil separation visible on the surface, especially when slightly warmed • Interior is drier and more structured, showing light aeration • Holds shape on the tool but melts immediately on contact with heat • Very easy to scoop, fold, and stretch What’s interesting here — and something many people miss — is that the oil separation is not a flaw. On the contrary, it’s a sign that: • terpenes are still active and mobile • cannabinoids have stabilized during cure • the matrix is alive and expressive This is exactly what a properly cured mixed-spectrum wax should look like. Why This Texture Happened This waxy expression likely came from a combination of: • minimal agitation early in the cure • balanced terpene retention • slow THCa nucleation • gentle post-scrape handling Even though it comes from the same run as the other samples, the chemistry chose this path — and I let it be. No forcing, no whipping, no rushing. 👃 Aroma & Flavor This one is LOUD — in the best way. • bright upfront notes • layered sweetness • earthy depth underneath • lingering resinous finish On low-temp dabs, the flavor spreads across the palate instead of peaking all at once. You don’t get a single dominant note — you get movement. 🌬️ Melt & Consumption This is true full-melt behavior: • melts clean with no residue • smooth on the lungs • fast onset but not aggressive • very controlled, medicinal effect Perfect for: • flavor-chasing • daytime to balanced evening use • low-temperature dabs • anyone who appreciates terpene expression over brute force 🧠 Important Note Even though this sample looks softer and more “oily” on the surface, it is fully purged, fully cured, and fully stable. 🧀 SAMPLE 02 — DRY / CRUMBLE FULL-MELT Four-Month Cold Cure Expression (02) This second expression comes from a different extraction run and a different batch, processed independently — but using the same extraction method, the same philosophy, and the same safety standards explained throughout this diary. While Sample 01 and Sample 02 are not from the same run, they are the result of the same technique applied consistently over time, allowing a clear comparison of how curing duration and natural stabilization shape the final expression. This batch was allowed to cold cure for four full months, double the time of Sample 01. What time did here is not subtle. This sample naturally evolved into a drier, crumble-leaning structure, while maintaining the same golden color spectrum and true full-melt behavior. ⸻ 🔍 Visual & Physical Characteristics • Dry, brittle texture that breaks cleanly by hand • Thin, flaky plates with sharp edges • Matte-to-light-sparkle surface (microcrystalline structure) • No greying, no darkening, no oxidation • Warm, consistent gold tones throughout The crumble forms are not whipped, forced, or mechanically altered. This structure is purely the result of time, temperature, and molecular organization during a long, undisturbed cold cure. ⸻ ❄️ What Cold Curing Does (And Why Time Matters) Cold curing is the process of allowing an extract to stabilize slowly at low temperatures, without agitation and without added heat. Over time: • residual gases fully dissipate • cannabinoids reorganize into a more crystalline structure • terpenes bind, settle, or slowly migrate • moisture and volatility stabilize naturally At four months, this batch clearly shows: • advanced THCa crystallization • reduced surface oil migration • increased structural rigidity • extremely clean and predictable melt behavior Nothing was rushed. Nothing was pushed. This is patience doing the work. ⸻ Purging & Stability Notes This batch was: • fully purged before curing • then allowed to off-gas naturally over several months • never reheated • never aggressively reworked The result is a concentrate that is: • chemically stable • mechanically dry • aromatically refined • exceptionally smooth on melt Time is the final purge. ⸻ 👃 Aroma & Flavor Profile Compared to Sample 01, this expression leans: • deeper • more grounded • more “hash-forward” The high notes are still present, but they arrive later. The flavor unfolds slowly, with a heavier base and a longer, more settled finish. Think: • less brightness • more depth • less movement • more weight ⸻ 🌬️ Melt & Effects Despite the dry crumble appearance, this is true full-melt: • liquefies cleanly • leaves no residue • produces no harshness • delivers very controlled vapor Effects lean toward: • full-body relaxation • pain relief • evening / nighttime use • grounding and calm Same method — different expression. ⸻ 🧠 Important Reminder Crumble does not mean: • lower quality • over-purged • terpene-less • or harsh In this case, it means fully matured through time. Different run. Same method. Same color spectrum. Same melt. More time. ⸻ 🌈 CLOSING REFLECTION — CONSISTENT METHOD, DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS Sample 01 (2-month cold cure) shows movement, aroma, and surface oil expression. Sample 02 (4-month cold cure) shows structure, depth, and crystalline stability. Neither is better. Neither is worse. They are simply different chapters written by time, using the same language of patience and respect. This is why I don’t rush medicine. This is why I let chemistry speak. And this is why patience will always outperform speed.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.
