There we go, now the diary is all sorted out and the weeks are accurate. Pistils still poppin'! Starting to get the first few brown pistils to show up on the low low plant buds. Tops are still filling out. I might as well raise the dimmer to 10. It's been on 9 about 11 inches from the tops of the plants. I dialed it back to perhaps reduce the stress from the hot dose of nutes. They burnt up pretty good but still rocking! Hopefully the next run i can keep them pretty for the full crop! haha The Nutrient mix i listed is not a feed chart regiment. I've had to dial it back a bit because of the high ppm of my tap water which caused me to give them a hot 2500ppm feed one day and they freaked out lol. So now i test my ppm and i try to keep it around 1000, to 1250ppm MAX Next crop I plan on doing some experimenting. I'm going to grow 3 strains. I want to do a diary for each strain and I'm going to experiment with some different nutrients (Remo Nutrients) and I'm going to do side by side comparisons with Hygrozyme and HygroBen, as well as Resin by Green Planet Nutrients. Next Strains will be; #1 Female Seeds "Lemon Kush" (2 plants) Clones #2 Barney's Farm "Biscotti Mintz" (3 plants) Clones #3 Expert Seeds "Oreoz" (3 plants) Clones 1 of each plant will be treated with Mykos Fungi, Hygrozyme Enzymatic root enhancer, and HygroBen which is beneficial bacteria. So we can draw a side by side comparison of each treated vs. non treated plant to see if Resin really does increase resin output, and if the plants health, vigour and growth are affected in a significant way. These plants on Oct 31, are 42 days into their flowering cycle. I expect them to finish near end of November. Nov 15 i will cut clones off my mother's and prepare for the mid winter run.

What's up Growmies!!! These babies will be getting the chop this weekend, which would put them in week 14 overall and week 9 in Flower. It has been a smooth grow, not a lot of issues other than the tips getting burned, which is normal being that I pushed them to the max as far as the nutrients I fed them. I made the mistake feeding White Widow #3 the same nutrients as the others even though it is 3 weeks behind and definitely overwhelmed her with nutrients hence the yellowing and brown leaves you see in the first part of the video. The trichromes are exactly where I want them right now, mostly cloudy with about 25 to 30% amber. I'm guessing they will be at about 50/50 come Friday or Saturday when I give them the chop. I flushed each one last night with 2 gallons of distilled water, I'm going to flush them once more today and then allow them to dry out. My Caramelicious plant has been begging for 14 weeks and has grown all the way past the lights, I am going to top her today and cut away 4 or 5 nodes. Once I have these ones chopped and out of the tent. All in all this has been a smooth grow and I can't wait to test the final product. Thanks for tuning in and like always, I wish you all good luck on your grows and may the plant goddesses grant you huge yeilds!!!

Week #4 of bloom , girls are all looking good , going to remove some of the shade leaf this week to open up the canopy and get some more light to the smaller bud sites , I dialed my feed schedule back to 3 times per 24 hrs , I haven’t seen any negative reactions to the adjusted feeding and it’s been a week since I made the changes ,

11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -  92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

Well today is day 84 and she's just about done.. I flushed her with 3 gallons of water twice in the last week and now I'm just feeding water to a little runoff for another day or two.. I want to point out that this plant smells exactly like blueberry Pop-Tarts.. that is not an exaggeration it is literally the same smell.. I really really hope that that doesn't go away and stays throughout the cure.. hopefully this weather cools down so I can dry it at an appropriate temperature and not lose these precious terpenes that smell so good.. this is my second fast buds grow the first was kosher cake and that was awesome I tried the Afghan Kush but I ended up getting rid of her because of too many mutations and I didn't have the room for plant that wasn't going to grow right.. so two out of three so far have been great I know this flower is going to be awesome.. hope everyone is doing well and happy growing ✌️😎

Man! I am definitely hooked on my new hobby. Harvested 96 grams of smokable bud and 93 grams of bud/leaves that I will be using to make dry ice hash. Took a third of that second weight (31 grams) to account for pure bud (which is more on the low end) and added to my 96 grams of good flower to get the 127 grams total. Made plenty of mistakes that I’m sure dropped my yield, the biggest being the lighting situation. Plants grew right into my light and even got bleached. The height of the plants made the outer colas grow past the high light areas, which made the buds very airy. But overall it was an amazing experience. I learned a lot of things, some that I have already incorporated on my second grow. And even with my drop in yield, I still ended up with more than enough flower to last me to my next harvest, so this was a great grow for me. Thanks to everyone who followed, liked, and commented. Your words were helpful and meaningful.

Week 6 for Lemon Orange by greenhouseseedco, End of week 6 for this cultivar, 2 out of the 3 phenos have been topped/mainlined to 16 tops... while the 3rd i may leave at 8 tops. Not much to do at this point besides let them veg out for 2/3 more weeks before flipping to flower.

📆 Semana 8 La Biscotti Gelato encara el final con toda su elegancia. Los tonos morados se intensifican, los cogollos se compactan al máximo y la resina forma una capa gruesa que brilla incluso con poca luz. El aroma se ha vuelto más profundo, dulce y terroso, con ese toque cremoso que anuncia que está en su punto. Las hojas grandes empiezan a decaer con naturalidad mientras la planta concentra toda su fuerza en las flores. Todo indica que en pocos días estará lista para el corte, ideal antes de que la humedad apriete más. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Had to leave for quick trip away from home for 4 days she was left alone unfortunately had to leave her under eave of garage too Incase it was gonna pour rain so she didn’t get as much sun as we would have liked. Was happy to see more bud and crystal growth. But unfortunate to find some powder mildew and leaf miners on a good handful of leaves. I ended up just cutting those bad leaves off hoping the pm and leaf miners will stop spreading! She was just watered this morning and looking pretty healthy to me.. thinking 2 - 3 more weeks ..

I have been blown away every at step with this plant, my first grow! I've grown before but not like this and that is why I refer to myself as a newbie or this being the first time. Dutch Passion was an obvious choice for me as they were the only legit seeds I ever had experience with many many years ago. Watching the Auto Orange develop "daily" and the scent getting more and more focused was a joy and even with a window on the tent I found myself opening it enough to get my head in and get a good back of the nose full creamy citrusy assault.

20.11.2022 139 giorni dal seme al raccolto 79 giorni di fioritura Pianta produttiva, forte, produce cime lunghe e dense, non eccezionale secondo me il risultato organolettico,preferisco varietà magari meno produttive ma con sfumature di profumi e gusto più marcate. Ho dato comunque un buon voto per la produttività della pianta, ma non credo che la ricoltiverò in futuro.
