1/29/2024 - Day 29 - Week 1 Flower: She started showing preflower last week, but I'm calling this week 1 of flower. She is only 1 ft tall at the moment, which is much smaller than I'd like, so I'm hoping she will stretch over the next couple weeks. This is why I'm not a big fan of autos. I made one mistake with the heavy fouler feed, and my yield is going to be significantly impacted my that one mistake. It's my fault, but still frustrating.

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil to be spread evenly on top of the soil. The plants are getting just under 13.5 hours of light now. In grow conditions half hours aren't an option, so I'm noting here. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 91°F. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. I treated with Growers Ally fungicide. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 94°F. The girls were thirsty. I watered about 6 gallons per pot. I really wet them and the ground under the pots. They're feeding on the runoff in the soil as they've rooted through the pots. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 94°. It felt like 102°F. Skies were sunny and clear. I watered about 5 gallons per pot twice today. The girls were super thirsty. I added 80ml Coop Poop and 45ml Soluble Kelp Meal. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 90°F. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered about 5 gallons each pot. Day 5 the high was 94°F with mostly clear skies. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. Then I watered in the evening about 3 gallons per pot. These girls are eating now. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 89°F. Skies were mostly cloudy to overcast. We had a lot of rain today so no need to water Day 7 we had a high temperature of 78°F. Skies were overcast with all day rain and mist. It's about as bad of weather as u can get for cannabis in flower. Let's see how these fastbuds hold up to 💯 fu weather. Overall the week was a success. The canopy is a little out of hand but these girls are stacking frosty buds. The powdery mildew has been put in check by the Growers Ally fungicide. I'll continue to use that especially after day 7's fu weather.

I had the most brilliant moment ever. I ve been setting up the drip system for the first time with the runoff going into the ebb and flood system reservoir. I did not take into the account the syphononing effect of the pumps and that the reservoir water level has to be below the plants. I had two hours to leave for my flight, because I was going on a vacation. So I jumped online and found a way to make pressure regulator from piece of tube and t connector. It did well for the whole 10 days I was away. I'm really proud of my self :))))

Noticing trichomes more than ever. From what I’ve read the last two weeks are when buds start to swell up. Let’s hope that’s the case lol I really pushed the ppm’s this week only because I accidentally let her go over 1000 ppm’s during this week. I would have never have done that but she let me know she was ready for a full dose of nutes. Today is D81 and I’m expecting she will go over one hundred days. We shall see... thanks for listening!

I have repotted the plants into 4gallon fabric pots re amended the coco with half 444 veg and bloom dry amendments by down to earth along with added bone meal and great white to the root ball to help with the transplant shock and to give a boost in the microbial life in the root zone.. I also watered in with recharge fish shit roots excelerator cal mag and some silica to hold the plants over until the dry amendments kick in due to them being a slow release style fertilizer the plants was placed in a scrog net to spread open the plants for better yield and light penetration

Definitely one of the taller ones out of the 12. I need a few good daytime strains with energy & no anxious paranoia. I'm working on finding more of them for daytime motivation.

week three flower everything looks fine so far :D eight days after defoliation I water them with 1.5l every 48h the light I use was set to 80% and it hangs 80cm away from the tops gelato 1 threw some balls, but I removed them as soon as I saw them, I'll keep watching it!

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Are you seeing what I'm seeing? HUGE difference from last week, buds are really filling in and taking shape. Already nice and hard. Trichomes are starting to coat the fan leaves, this one is going to be frosty!! 😍 I'll have to take a look at my dehumidifies, RH is climbing to 55% at moments and in these final week I don't want them to go over 45-50% Wish you were smelling what I'm smelling though!! 😍😍 MY OH MY!!!! The smell is aaaamazing!! They're giving my beloved Cream Caramel a run for best aroma in the tent but that Cream Caramel is tooo sweet! 😋 While they're both doing great, the one I defoliated just a little too much doesn't have as big buds.. That shows you, when defoliating it's best to leave some behind for later because once you cut those leaves you can't place them back. Some decisions you just have to live with. Real life lessons when you grow, that is if you're paying attention. 😉 I'll be adding an organic PK booster next week to give that extra boom in bloom. 👊💪 Pictures were taken on day 27 of flower. Hope you enjoy the progress as much as me. Have a great day! One love!

Wanted to give a shout out to everyone that helped my first growing experience. I believe I have learned so much from all 3 growing experiences especially as a first timer. Good genetics are where the REAL dank comes from. Barneys Farm did not disappoint. These buds grew so smooth I felt like a master grower. I believe this strain could get even bigger results with the right training. I will definitely grow this strain again in 3 gallon pots with lots of HST. With minor training she turned out pretty swell. The Grow: Growing this strain as I mentioned is practically a damn joke. She responded so well to growing in a solo cup(weeks1-3) that I practically gave her a few ml of water out of a dropper every other day and sometimes 3 days without water. As she grew, I gave some minor training, topped them, and tucked some leaves. I believe with the right training and an extended training regiment in the vegetation cycle for this strain, you could kill yields with this frosty/fast flowering strain. Any defencies I had were quickly cleared with cal-mag. She never actually ran into any problems besides some light burn due to the LEDs being too close in super late flowering. As she grew, her leaves looked more vibrant each day. Her buds simply swelled over time and became so frosty that I have no idea what I am in store for.... She got a good scent around week 3 in flowering and every week after that became more dank smelling each day. She smells like nuts, citrus, skunk, and lemon zest. I believe this strain is a hit when it comes to growing. Overall I'd give her a 10/10 out of any strain I've grown for now. She responds well to any training, nutes, and transplants. This is by far a strong resistant strain. She smells good, grows strongly/quickly, and hopefully the smoke is as good as she smells or eventually tastes. The phantom og is an easy growing strain as I've mentioned several times. I want to also try a better nutrient line(fox farm)for increased results. Not downing the ole OG fox but there is a new line of nutes now days. Until next go on these girls🤘🤤😎 The Dry: These buds are 1 to 2 inches thick. Nice and dense. I love the aroma of citrus and hops they give off. We are currently on day 2 of drying and I can tell yah, these buds smell NOTHING like chlorophyll. This strain is super powerful with terpenes. I believe the cure is gonna give a knock out smell, that's how strong it is. As she is drying, I am drying her at 66 degrees which is nice and cool, a small USB fan at the bottom of the tent. The fan was pointed outwards for the first 2 days. Now going to have it blowing more inwards to the wall to give a little less airflow for 1 to 2 more days the rotate back for a finish on the dry. So far the drying is turning out really pleasant and easy. Day 4 of drying and the outside of the buds are starting to crispn up. Another 2 or 3 days and she should be fully dried. We are now dried and jarred. They are crispy on the outside and the smaller stems snap. They will continue drying as we burp the first couple of days. Ended up taking the buds down at 5 days. Ended up being perfect for these dense nugs! The Cure: We are idk how many days into the cure. Probably 3 to 4. My roommate and me are taking a smoke now. She weighed at 2 oz give or take. Not the biggest outcome but total harvest between 5 plants all together that includes GD not included, 7 oz which I cant complain. Learning that bigger yields will come from better training. I did however get the sticky icky/trichome regiment down on this girl. I will post more pictures once I get to 2 weeks into the cure. I will say her buds are so good damn sticky. Excuse my language haha but let's be honest, this shit is dried and being rotated/cured and it's what I'd call the sticky shit you'd wish you'd had. 10/10 on quality bud Barney! 🤘 curing is still going well. Very sticky buds as I mentioned earlier. We are weeks or close enough to say these buds have cured up nicely. They have mainted an easy 61 to 62 rh after the first burp. I really over thought this and now its time to perfect the process! The buds turned into hard dense fluffy nugs.( no commas needed). The Smoke: When you smoke this strain, you feel an earthy taste that initially hits your throat with a hint of diesel on your tongue. Other flavors include berry and nuts which are very prominent in the smoke. The high hits you with a very dry mouth and a slight blur to your eyes. You get a sense of relaxation and happiness with short giggles every now and then. We loaded a huge kied bowl from some of the bowls ard my roommate and I were absolutely blazed. I smoked both phenos and the one phenos that frosted more than she fattened, really knocked me on my ass. 9/10 for a delicious smoke and potent high. The high is perfect for regular smokers especially when you want to change it up. The smells is also amazing in the jar with that nutty, berry, and diesel undertone. As the high hits you with all it's great effects, it hits with a moderate body buzz and strong head high. You'll notice that you cant speak full sentences all the time or you blank out and forget things. Phantom Og is a great evening smoke because once you let the high start climbing down, you start the feel the sandman on your eyes. The highs greatest focal point is the sense of focus. I AM NEO. You may not be able to dodge a bullet but you will kill some time lol. As long as you keep puffing however, you'll always be in a wonderful state of mind. 👽🤞👌 Ups and downs: The ups and down with this grow really derive from my own techniques or any issues or "ups" I had during the grow. Genetically speaking, I had two different phenos of phantom og. The 3 gal fattened much quicker and showed a significant amount of frost while the 1 gal pheno showed double the frost but not as fat of buds. I dont believe this to be a pot size difference obviously. This wasnt a problem but instead I was able to try two different phenos/potency levels based on the new amount of trichomes on the smaller gal. The strain grew extremely well even with higher heat levels and even lower humidity levels during the grow. I never noticed defencies throughout the grow besides the fast amount of water these girls can drink! Make sure you feed these girls nutes in week 3 or 4 or at LEAST start. You'll noticed rapid nitrogen defencies later in growth or any other common decency if you dont start the nute regiment early. I used lst as it shows in the diary. I didnt do much besides topping and pulling some branches but I did learn she responds well to hst. During the veg. Period, I accidentally snapped two branches off each node. Just enough to snap the skin. She recovered quickly without any help(duck tape included) and in return you could see bigger bud growth on the affected branches VS. The branches that were not affected. Phantom Og also produces moderate size buds and can create heavy yields with this training method. This was one of my only downfalls but this grow was for experience. I want to thank everyone for tuning in to my grow. The bud as I said is great for experienced smokers with thc levels of 18% to 24% and a flavor out of this world. After a full report, I will be updating this strain to 9/10. Thanks for looking 💨🤘 UPDATE* 12/9/19 MY FIRST, growing experience won 3rd place in the November 2019 Newbie of the month contest. Thanks everyone that followed and liked 🙏 2020 is going to be a beast🤘 UPDATE* Nebula of @growweedeasy has featured this diary in the 2019 Edition article on growweedeasy.com Thanks everyone for the support☺️

The first week of flowering went great! The girls stretched nicely and they are growing vigorously. The pistils started showing up quite quickly, only a few days after I flipped them. I increased the PK as they showed slight signs of deficiency. They are packed with shoots, almost too much I would say, I hope they will have enough space for the buds to develop properly and healthily.

The 4-week-old plant in the rapid growth phase is a fascinating organism to behold. It's incredible to witness the transformation of a tiny seed into a thriving plant with a sturdy stem, extensive root system, and vibrant green leaves. As the plant enters the rapid growth phase, it seems to come to life, eagerly soaking up sunlight and nutrients to fuel its growth, stretching its leaves towards the sun in the morning. The excitement of watching your plants reach this stage is hard to describe. It's a reminder of the beauty and wonder of nature and the incredible potential of life. She is receiving 4 ml/l general purpose organic flower fertilizer based on guano.

Forgot to take pics when I cut her down, so I took her out of the drying space for a few pictures. Haven’t tried the smoke yet but she’s so frosty!! Can already tell it’s going to be fantastic!

Hey Growers, end of week 2 from seed - Plant #2 since the start has been giving me minor problems. Ever since yellow spots began to come out on some of the leaves I've been trying to figure out what’s the issue. I was feeding only water at a PH of 6.35, PPM 34, light lux 75 x100. I decided to drop the PH to 6.0. Its been a slow recovery but the Yellow spots began to turn green again day by day. Its still not 100% but its looking much better than before. - Growth slowed down a bit, maybe its due to the yellowing in the leaves

Well I’m closing this one out. I had a lot of problems with humidity outside and bud rot, in hindsight i read a few reviews in the last few weeks and purple kush is susceptible to bud rot. I did 2 separate harvest, one on the 9th and one on the 14th. I collected everything I could smoke, there is still buds left on the plants but because of bud rot and immature buds I’m saying fuck it. Sonoma seeds quotes 9-10 weeks flower i harvested at week 8 and week 9. I harvested just shy of a pound total, and just over and oz of “purple” looking weed. Between you guys and i, the purple one was pretty shwaggy as far as bud goes. Would i grow this again outdoors? NOPE. Would i try it indoors? You will have to stay tuned for my next grow. If you plan to grow this strain outdoors do not do it. The fact that it’s pretty much 100%indica it does not like to get wet,🤦‍♂️🏻 if you are in the desert, indoors or live in Afghanistan (lineage) go for it. The taste is also not quite what I expected, all the reviews say grapes, but i taste a neutral taste. Some of it smells quite good in the jars but as soon as you smell each bud it smells like spicy woody herb with some dank undertone. Trimming it i had some sort of dank spicy smell i just can’t put my fingers on, except it was all over them. The buzz is “ok”but nothing to knock your socks off with. It is a stimulating feeling followed by a calm “not sleepy” feeling. I haven’t grown many outdoor variety’s but I’m sure most of them turn out the same. I’m waiting for my indoor no name to finish and I can start trying to redeem myself with my leftover seeds, and hopefully get the true quality/if there is, with this purple kush strain. Fall indoor; here i come. Thanks for tagging along. Cheers. Update: decided to make bubble hash with it. Update 2: pressed some hash into some shatter

Week 5 begins! Divine storm 1 & 2 are doing well, however DS2 is a bit hungrier. I believe that was do to her close location to the fan moving air around the bottom of the canopy. Increased feeding to 5 liters per plant and did some defoliation of the yellowing leaves. Moved the ladies to the other side of the room for the rest of the grow. Thanks for stopping by 👽🌳🔥
