Harvest time has come. It is difficult to kill a plant I have been raising so lovingly and with a lot of care as a wonderful living being that she is (and we all are as One). I even stayed up all night once to do a slow full 3x flush of the soil with emergency pH correction and buffering when I finally received the meters and looked at runoff values. It was almost like manually pumping a blood transfusion for a patient overnight. The idea to grow indoors came as a lightning and almost by a random chance. It was, of course, a synchronicity of a high order, because that flash coincided precisely with a rare moment where I had a small window of time to collect seeds of my choice in person and transport them safely and very quickly. And get extremely helpful advice from a moderately experienced grower, who helped me avoid self-taught rookie mistakes and pick an almost perfect setup for my purposes. Many steps I have learned only when it was time to take them, and since there's only so much I can do in a day, I got to some procedures like instrumentally checking salt buildup and substrate pH pretty late. I did monitor her leaves from the get-go, so leaving aside a light nute / photon burn of the tips, I think it went pretty well. Definitely better than I would have imagined! I wanted to do a small sitting meditation beside the plant before cutting her to dry. Wanted to thank the plant for this majestic experience and the healing power of gardening and caring for a plant on top of the medicinal values of cured buds and edibles we made along the way from trimmed fans. Those were unexpectedly strong and pleasantly smoooth. Wanted to tell her that I will miss her and remember her fondly, especially since she is my first full successful grow. The first time is always an unforgettable experience. Wanted to tell her that I do not want to kill her, and it was painful for me to FIM and shape her. A sitting meditation turned into a dynamic meditation when I started removing light gear and feeding system and cleaning the grow space in preparation for drying. Pretty quickly I noticed that I have a very real feeling of experiencing light- to medium-dose mushroom trip. I had vaped some 50/50 hybrid street bud half an hour earlier, but it was a very modest dose — shout out to TinyMight, you guys are amazing! — but no psychedelics. At that moment I felt that I don't need to say anything to the plant, because we are one and she had known my every feeling and intention from the start. And then I realized that what I had considered to be a sombre event, is just a transformation for the plant, it's next manifestation. Having lived as a plant, she will now transform into happy and healing experiences of those who will enjoy her flowers. This plant has supported me and helped me heal deep trauma and depression at least twice in my life over a period of a few months on each occasion. In between those healing periods it was just a get high and enjoy shit because why not kind of thing, and it didn't have any long lasting psychological effect at all, in stark contrast to classical psychedelics (LSD, shrooms, DMT etc). During those non-healing periods I didn't even have an urge to smoke all that often. I could easily not touch the stuff for a couple of months straight. My yearly consumption was in low single digit grams. Sometimes I felt that I did not enjoy the effect at all, it was slightly unpleasant even. Why would I want to blur my crisp perception to a gooey marshmallow state of cannabinoid high and scattered attention? But when it is time to do some inner work — and you cannot miss this feeling if you strive to tune into your inner state — god, is it a POWERFUL plant! I am very happy and humbled to be a conduit for this energy by caring for the plants and raising them. I respect this plant very deeply. --- Split her into thee parts by leaving only a few nodes creating the outer layer of colas on each level and effectively "topping" her a couple of levels above (or below, technically, now that she's upside down) and this creating a new drying layer/level. Tried wet trimming and I think I liked it. Will try to complete it in the next 1-2 days if I decide to go ahead with the idea. --- After drying for 7 days, I stabilized humidity at 60-62% for 4 hours and then chopped off buds (trimmed in batches during the first 3 days of drying), weighed and packed into glass jars for curing. Literally packed, because she yielded over 4 litres of dried trimmed bud (I think it was 4.5l) weighing 267g. WOW. I did not expect that on my first run I will be able to grow so much potent medicine. A lot of it is fluffy, but can be easily pressed denser, if storage or appearance are a concern. In fact, I had to press the buds slightly to make it all fit in two 2-litre jars. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way and thank you for your warm wishes! And thank you — the One reading this right now.

Just water

Plants started getting real bushy a couple of days after topping. Low Stress Trained all the plants at the end of the week by tying them down using rubber coated garden wire to spread out the newly grown tops. Also spaced out each plant evenly on the tray and turned on the other 2 PB2000 LED lights I had ready to go.

8/17/19 I took 6 more clones prior to spraying her with silver. She has been outside for 1 week. I can already smell the tangerine. 😁 Time will tell. The clones are growing like crazy. My original date to start flowering the first 8 maybe more was 9/7/19.... but its going to get too crowded really soon. 30 plants in a 2 foot × 3 foot area gets tight quickly. And watering is a f××king nightmare daily... I actually lift each plant every day to see if it needs water. It never lies, you can always feel it. It's the best way to know. My light is wonderful...I could not be happier. It's an HLG 100 V2 4000k Quantum board. I still have two 19w lights on the side but I will move them to the second level. To use all my space. I got 6 more babies coming.

Day 32 - 12/01/20 Everythings going fine for the Pineapple Express 🍍 I swapped out the bungee cords holding my grow light for rope rachets today. it wasnt hanging level so i still needed to use the bungee cords but the light is much higher now to accommodate the height of this monster! current height is 46cm which is about 18 inches. Im feeding with my normal Canna and Vitalink schedule and watering with just phed water a lot too. they drink so much when in the proper temperature range and healthy! Nothing much to report other than that although i think im gonna invest in some more bud boosters and terpene boosters as im struggling to get a huge flavour from my buds. its noticable and its there after curing, each strain i have grown has its own unique flavour and smell but it just hasnt been potent enough for me yet. possibly due to my previous strain choices. anyways thats why im growing more fruity and higher thc strains. also for the medical benefit, the 1:1 THC/CBD weed was good as a supplemental medical weed i found that i still needed a high thc strain as a base to stay pain free and stoned. and the lower thc varieties ive tried are nice but just arent strong enough for a heavy smoker like me to relieve pain and help me sleep. Il update later in the week, and apologies again for not updating the diaries as much ad i usually do, ive been quite busy over the new year! Happy growing folks!

Very good looking lady she's very tall, she has beautiful big leafs, didn't know anything about this strain, absolutely gorgeous genetic line this is a cross of JET A X CALIFORNIA BLACK ROZE 🌹 I'm curious to see how is this lady going to grow and perform, and most importantly what type of flavor will this strain provide me?... Let's find out growmies!

2025-07-27 i started tis grow longer ago as you may see in other diaries, from the same period these ladies are mindblowing and deserve a Diary LEGEND The root idea for the strain name was the ​Father’s Choice to show respect to his father when he was testing his strain on his father’s farm. Finally, the strain got the name Chronic Ryder - the autoflowering version of the famous Chronic by Serious Seeds. Crossing with the Lowryder gave us the opportunity to get a stable and fast flowering hybrid. GROWING The compact and fast flowering variety grows well indoors and outdoors. A small height of 60 cm max allows for growing nice and fragrant bushes for 65 days from germination. Despite its compact size, the plants develop lots of sticky and big buds with a pretty apricot smell. The aroma is hardly noticed at first but it becomes stronger as the harvest approaches. The short growing period is another strong point of the strain. That's why this is a good choice for countries with short summers - despite the bad weather you’ll get your guaranteed yield. TASTE and EFFECT Chronic Ryder is all about the taste - fruity and citrus tones complement one another, giving an unforgettable aftertaste. The effect is mild and doesn’t hit you like a hammer - the perfect choice for novice smokers. Thanks to balanced high and stone effects Chronic Ryder is a good daytime smoke that stimulates you for a long time. CHARACTERISTICS Autoflowering: Yes Type: Feminized | Autoflowering Room: Indoor | Outdoor | Greenhouse Genotype: Hybrid Genetics: Chronic x Lowryder Finish time: 65-70 days from seed Indoor: Productivity: 400 g/m2 Height: 30 - 60 cm Outdoor: Productivity: 30-85 g/plant Height: 60 - 100 cm THC: High Flavour: Citrus | fruity | apricot Effect: Balanced high and stone | daytime | giggly

Muy contento con el resultado de esta hermosa genética llena de resina , un olor muy rico, agradable al fumar y muy potente, cumple con creces mis expectativas 👍👨‍🌾🏻🍀

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. No son grandes pero si están bien gordas.

JOANNE'S CBD / ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS WEEK #20 OVERALL WEEK #8 FLOWER This week she's looking good and she's doing great her buds are getting bigger and they even got a little trichome coverage just a few more weeks!! Stay Growing!!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!!! THANK YOU ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS!!! JOANNE'S CBD / ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS

Hi all growers Day 64 this is lady is gone so fast and Fat, every bus is full from up to bottom, and i already said it: FAT :D I stopped Big Bud and this is the last week of fertilising, i think i've got 3 weeks left for this baby before harvest. This week i give also aptus regulator to regulate some eventual issue before flushing, Next cycle i'll use it for all the cycle. Day 66 Nothing to say, I ‘ve got last or two last fertilising before flushing. This baby did all alone without any help needed. She is really beautiful , bud are fat and full. I think that small size won’t be reflect on the harvest weight. Day 68 Two days ago last feeding at ph 7 and 1100 ppm. From tomorrow I’ll start flushing for 15/20 days before harvest. I had to add a little fan because this blue dream is too bushy, I don’t defoliate anymore and soil needed more aeration Can’t wait to see this baby good . Day 69 Started flushing with 1 lt with water, i ll'keep flisghiung woth ph controled water at 6.2 ph. Last 10/15 days max, then Harvest is coming!! Let's see!! ANY SUGGESTION IS REALLY WELCOME :)

Something tried to nibble on Plant B, however there are no signs of pests and no further damage anywhere else (I have 6 other plants in the garden too). Plant A has already begun to develop stipules on its first set of true leaves too! Had their first feed on day 14 (2ml Fish Mix + 0.1ml Mono-silicic Acid), and were fed again on day 16 (2ml Fish Mix, 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 0.1ml Mono-Silicic Acid).

You walk into the back yard and it’s a straight face punch of smells. Looking like some indoor rn moved all plants to safer place in case storm hits so now I atleast have a wind break

Repotting them at day 24 to a 1 gallon (3,7l) Root Pouch. Gave them a little bit(2/3ish of the recommended amount) of GHE Tripart(Grow,Flora,Micro) hydrophonic nutrients and plants seemed to like it, growth of the roots was super fast and overall healthy looking plants.

Shame but it is what it is 🏝️

Definitely filling out this little tent and already showing that deep purple that was hunted by Brother Geoff at HBS... I'm hoping I can keep pumping her with this MegaCrop medley and see where this grow goes. She's got a lovely grape smell with a little skunk on the back end and hopefully will only get more powerful as the flowering cycle progresses.

Buenas Farmers! Otra semana más y pasaremos a Flora, esperando a ver si podemos obtener nuevo equipo de @todoGrowled para llevar el verano más llevadero... Después de recuperase de las Plagas empieza coger buen color esto.🍁
