😼Wk15: Surprise! This is the right time. 👉This week’s journal is only the days that lead up to the harvest which happened mid to late in the week. Since the harvest process takes more than a couple days, and it happened late in the week, I will be making one more week with the harvest process after the buds are dried to 20-25% (hopefully) and in jars. I should have all the final specs for the grow. 👉The 1 gallon plan was not even absorbing much fluid. The saturation volume of the media was getting smaller each day it seemed. It would take over 5 minutes to be able to pour 1.5 liters of solution into the pot. The run-off would also end very quickly as compared to all other plants I grew. I surmise this is due to the roots packing the pot and compressing the media very tightly, not allowing it to absorb much solution. The light sweet caramel aroma is now replaced by what I would call the strong generic funky stank of weed. While there is nothing extraordinary about the aroma, it’s so strong that you can smell it outdoors (its vented outside from second story window). Even with, medium to strong winds you can catch whiffs of it. Smells like heaven to me! Super frosty buds. Only a couple buds had any fresh calyx’s with white pistols. During my trichome hunting expeditions I see very few amber. But those are not what Im hunting. Im looking for the majority of the trichomes to be cloudy. I believe by mid-week all the buds had mostly cloudy trichomes with a few clears left. Harvest came on day the 3rd day of the week. 👉The 3 gallon plant was consuming less fluid. It was easy to fertigate it with 3l of water. The EC was spiking very quickly and would not come down very much. The run off would fall back in range but be above target the next fertigation event. I figured it may just be the densely packed roots in the pot. With the pH runoff going in the opposite direction as the 1 gallon plants run-off and I was wondering what was causing the difference. Even though the lowest leaves look a little like the plant was over watered, I continued the high volume of fertigations. I did reduce the EC somewhat. I was giving it week 10 mix on the GHE mix chart for drain to waist mix. The leaves looked crappy, but the buds were looking awesome. The plant had the same light creamy caramel aroma when sniffed up close, but the strong aroma of stanky funk was the permeating odor that filled room. I had only done some light scouting for the trichomes on the plant and each time saw more cloudy tips. I wasn’t sure but by Tuesday the trichomes looked at least 50/50, which is a little further along than I thought it would be. After harvesting the 1 gallon plant I had room to pull the plant out and rotate it and give it an exhaustive scan for a more complete idea of how much time it had. When I rotated it, I didn’t notice it at first. Then I focused on it as the top of a cola was brown and the leaves around it were all dried. “Oh fuck!” I shouted. It was like someone had walked up behind me and jabbed me in the ribs and yelled "BOO"! I was startled and even jumped out of my chair. I then did a double and triple take to make sure my eyes weren’t being grizzled or bent. I then grabbed the branch cutters and took that branch. I searched the cola and it was isolated to the top 3 inches of this fat pine cone. I snipped it below that group of bud and removed it from the house, took it out back in the field and stabbed it, shot it and set it on fire (only in my imagination). I then washed and sanitized my hands, returned to the tent and inspected some of the larger colas, pulling them apart and looking to the center for nasty pestilence. Fortunately I didn’t see any. I didn’t have time to harvest it right then and there, but I did on Friday night. I knew I wasn’t out of danger yet though. These buds are pine cones and very dense. I was afraid Id see the same thing I saw in my Critical purple and lose all the best buds. I wouldn’t know until the harvest was complete, with the buds curing in the jars. 🙀

24 Stunden habe ich sie in ein Wasserglas getan was Zimmertemparatur hat. Nach 24 Stunden habe ich sie in eine Brotdose mit Taschentücher gelegt auch bei Zimmertemparatur 2 Tage Keimen lassen. Als die Wurzeln ca. 1.5-2.5cm lang waren habe ich sie in Jiffys gesteckt und in einem Gewächshaus wachsen lassen.

Date: 07/04/2024 Illumination Activated! Anticipating your contemplative response 🤔, it is evident that a larger vessel is imperative for her growth trajectory, considering her current confines within a 19L container. The imminent requirement calls for a spacious 60L receptacle, especially for accommodating the root expansion of this 100% sativa cultivar, akin to cultivating three distinct plants. Rest assured, I am diligently addressing this necessity. My cognitive acuity now far surpasses any previous state, a veritable testament to heightened clarity and focus. Maybe more common sense than my pervious brain dulled 😑 Mid-day: The Train of Disframe I am perplexed by the presumptions some individuals harbor about their own identities, a realm from which I am keen to distance myself. I exemplify the valor to be met with disdain. I abstain from soliciting your allegiance or appreciation towards my creations. Subsequent to the fruition of these cultivation endeavors, their merit shall resonate independently. Should you be inclined to express admiration and allegiance, it brings me joy; conversely, indifference does not perturb me. My aspiration transcends superficial accolades; I envision forthcoming cultivators beholding my endeavors with awe akin to stargazing. "I have the courage to be disliked I'm beyond it" - End of Story 08/04/2024 I find myself amidst the transition to the flowering phase of cultivation, a process I previously jestingly referenced. In humbled reflection, I seek divine forgiveness for my momentary lapse in candor. In pursuing optimal nourishment for my botanical charge, I have meticulously curated a regimen involving the gradual escalation of Sensi Bloom feed to a maximum dosage of 4ml per liter, attuned to the specific needs of the plant. Embracing the role of a discerning steward, akin to a 'Plant Whisperer,' I am dedicated to orchestrating a harmonious symphony of growth and vitality within this verdant realm. 4inch Extractor Fan installed. "The Recurrence Vid" In the compelling narrative title, the strain Forgotten Haze Cakes, classified as a pure Sativa, luxuriates in ample space for vertical expansion during the inaugural fortnight of transitioning phases, courtesy of the employed cultivation methodology. By delicately leaving the initial set of lower big fan leaves, it'll anticipate discourage within the plant from branching and proliferation. In the vibrant realm of my sativa tent, where the verdant sentinels of growth flourish under the radiant canopy of light, a unique challenge presents itself – the absence of a means to monitor humidity levels. Despite this limitation, my steadfast dedication to the well-being of my botanical charges remains unwavering. As the sativa strains bask in the nurturing embrace of their environment, enveloped in a tapestry of vibrant hues and resplendent foliage, I adapt my stewardship with a blend of intuition and experience. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ⏸️ ▶️ "HUMIDITY" + "HUMILITY" = MILITARY! - This saga; can NOT , continue in the Military realm of Sativa" In the captivating narrative of cultivation, where the seeds of growth are sown with care and nourished with intention, a poignant reflection emerges – the distinction between "humidity" and "humility" reverberates with profound resonance. Within the intricate tapestry of botanical stewardship, the ethos of humility stands as a guiding principle, shaping the ethos of caretaking and nurturing. However, as the whimsical wordplay unfolds, the realm of the military - a stark and regimented domain - starkly contrasts with the delicate intricacies of the sativa realm. The sativa tent, with its vibrant tapestry of growth and vitality, thrives in a sanctuary where the essence of humility permeates the air, fostering a symbiotic relationship between caretaker and plant. Yet, the rigid confines of the military realm, with its structured hierarchy and discipline, stand in stark juxtaposition to the organic fluidity of the sativa's journey towards botanical magnificence. In this divergence of paths, the saga grapples with a fundamental incongruity, a dissonance that renders the blending of military precision with the ethereal essence of sativa cultivation an untenable pursuit. As such, the narrative must veer away from the militaristic paradigm, embracing instead a narrative that celebrates the organic harmony and symbiosis that defines the cultivation journey within the sativa realm. With reverence for the intrinsic beauty of growth and a deep-seated appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living beings, the saga pivots towards a narrative that honors the essence of humility, nurturing, and respect that underpin the art of cultivation. Through this recalibration of focus, the sativa tent emerges as a sanctuary of growth and renewal, where the ethos of humility reigns supreme, guiding the journey towards botanical excellence with grace and wisdom. In this realm where empirical data gives way to intuitive guidance, I rely on a finely tuned sensibility cultivated through years of tending to these green companions. Attuned to the subtle cues and nuances of their growth patterns, I navigate this uncharted territory with a blend of caution and ingenuity. While the absence of direct humidity readings may pose a challenge, my keen observation and intimate connection with the plants allow me to discern their needs with a heightened sense of awareness. As the delicate ballet of growth unfolds within the confines of the sativa tent, I embrace this unique opportunity to deepen my symbiotic relationship with Forgotten Haze Cakes. I will adapt my Military training skills with attentive care and a deep-seated understanding of their botanical language, I strive to create an environment that nurtures their flourishing without the aid of conventional metrics. This journey of cultivation, guided by intuition and nurtured by experience, embodies a union of art and science that transcends the boundaries of empirical data, fostering a connection that transcends the limitations of instrumentation. Feed Schedule ATM: 3.5.5ml/L = 66.6 Currently drinking 6L/24hrs 09/04/2024 Effective immediately; all photos taken during the flowering stage must only feature the plant with the lights on. Exceptions may be made in the case of serious incidents or issues that require documentation with the lights off or during mid-day. This protocol aims to ensure consistent monitoring and assessment of the plants' growth and health during this crucial stage. Thank you for your cooperation and adherence to this new guideline. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// - "The Singularity Expansion" - The Singularity Expansion in the realm of my botanical cultivation practices embodies a concept of unification and harmonization. Through meticulous research and thoughtful contemplation, I have elucidated a methodology that leverages singularity as a guiding principle. At the outset, the elements of my grow technique may appear disparate and disconnected, akin to a fragmented mosaic. However, as the cultivation journey unfolds, each component seamlessly converges towards a singular, coherent endpoint, transcending the initial chaos to manifest a harmonious and bountiful fruition. Singularity serves as the transformative force that orchestrates the convergence of diverse elements within my cultivation process, culminating in a cohesive and synchronized outcome that epitomizes unity and balance. 10/04/2024 ...... as the lights illuminated the verdant expanse of my botanical domain, I meticulously undertook the task of adjusting the colas. Engaged in a strategic battle of balance and precision, I ensured that the lush growth on both the left and right sides of the scrog remained impeccably level......currently still in PROGRESS of this battle! - "In navigating the realm of visual representation within my botanical narrative, a distinct dichotomy emerges between the untreated authenticity of unedited photographs, characterized by a vibrant green hue and crisp clarity, and the studio-enhanced counterparts which exhibit a washed-out white palette. Delving deeper into this juxtaposition, I find myself strategically oscillating between these two visual paradigms, recognizing the nuanced interplay between natural realism and heightened studio effects on my S23 Ultra device" - https://youtube.com/shorts/RngRlQwy4Hk WATCH OUT the Kangaroos About! Never mind that Double-O,7, I'm Double-7,0. 707. Amidst the luminous glow, as I embarked on another day of nurturing my botanical companions, a significant milestone unfolded within the realm of my cultivation journey. The arrival of pre-flowers signaled a crucial juncture, prompting a pre-warning to elevate the nutrient feed to meet the escalating demands of this transformative phase. With precision and care, I made meticulous adjustments to the scrog, ensuring the optimal positioning for these burgeoning blooms. The act of "fluffing her" symbolized a tender gesture of support, further enhancing the growth trajectory of my botanical charges. "The Recurrence Vid 2 -Pre Flowers" Upon a recent realization, it has come to light that she does not solely possess the traits of a 100% sativa strain. In a moment of introspection, the humorous realization surfaced that this misconception had taken root in my mind. Nonetheless, she retains her endearing moniker as "Forgotten Haze Cakes," a creation by the revered breeders TerpyZ X Kalyseeds. Acknowledging my humanity, I accept the occasional errors in judgment that may arise, understanding that such missteps are a common thread woven into the fabric of human experience, even among the most seasoned individuals. These moments of revelation serve as poignant reminders of our inherent fallibility, etching themselves into our memories as enduring lessons in growth and refinement. Additionally, it has been unveiled that "Forgotten Haze Cakes" is, in fact, a hybrid of Amnesia Haze "Hy-pro cut" and Vanilla White. This may explain a little depth to the botanical identity of this intriguing lanky plant, enriching the narrative of her genetic lineage. Anticipation brews within me as I eagerly await the unfolding of her growth journey, with fingers crossed in hope of witnessing her blossom into her full potential. Here is a sneak peek photo of her, a visual encapsulation of the promise and potential that lies ahead. The flowering stage presents a plethora of nuances and intricacies to marvel at and contemplate. 12/04/2024 Lights On: Budsites Adjusted Scrog slightly. Pre-Flowers On 13/04/2024, a gentle defoliation was carried out to clear away leaves that were obscuring younger bud sites. Additionally, the nutrient regimen was adjusted to incorporate Sensi Bloom at a concentration of 3.6.6 ml/l, with planned incremental adjustments up to 4ml/l as the flowers begin their enchanting journey towards full bloom. 1 hour after the lights were turned on, it was noted that the extractor fan may have been inadvertently disturbed during the defoliation process. This is evident from the slight drooping of the , likely influenced by both temperature fluctuations and the defoliation itself. Remember to always double-check the outlets after each session to ensure smooth operations. Few hours later.... Cropmaster installed/extra 4inch extractor fan attached! 14/04/2024 Undertook defoliation procedures and implemented certain modifications. In the previous evening, Cropmaster experienced LED malfunctions. Consequently, I have resorted to utilizing the Budmasters God 9 once again God.4 Mid-day: installed 60watt side light!

Granddaddy plant in week 6 of flowering. She is in full bloom. Bugs Issue: There are some old caterpillar holes on leaves but I think bugs situation improved. The smell from plant dropped last week after first round of insecticide spray. Smell is like plant crying out in pain after being attack by bugs. I sprayed spinetoram one more time in the beginning of the week. Late in the week, I used a USB microscope to check. And there was a Protoss tank patrolling a leaf on plant 2. On the bigger plant, I just saw carcass of dead mites strewn around. Prepping plant 2 for an early harvest. I am always happy on harvest day. Trim her and let the pot dry out for a couple of days. And plan to spray my garden with third and last round of spinetoram. Next week, I am going back to microbes. Plant 1 is doing fine. She is bigger and handles pests better. Her flowering cola’s also smell nicer. Plant 1 phenotypes is much better than plant 2. And I removed some leaves. This past week, I fed both plants with half strength potassium based orchid fertilizer. Plant 2 shows slight tip burn. So, this is the feeding limit. Plant 1 leaves are nice and green. A few leave started to yellow but I am not bothered by that issue at late flowering stage. Next week I’ll just give plant 1 a dose of yogurt and start pre-harvest preparations. Trimming, flushing, and all that. Transplanted a clone to 25-liters basket. She started to put our pistil. This is one issue with Mycorrhiza. It over stimulate the root. And root tips put our too much cytokinin that signals flowering.

Estamos en la última semana para dos de las cuatro variedades, así que a partir de este momento, eliminamos Bio Flores. Añadiremos al bidón de riego Canna Flush, que nos va a ayudar a lavar bien nuestras raíces, eliminando restos de sales y nutrientes. Buscamos que las plantas gasten sus reservas de las hojas, que poco a poco veremos como pierden verdor, eliminando clorofila, sobre todo las más bajas. Canna Flush - 20ml por cada 10 litros de agua. Bajamos la potencia de nuestros balastros a 600w.

What I thought to be a cal deficiency at first glance appears to be rust fungus or leaf septoria, but nothing rubs off of the spots, which confuses me. I freaked out and tore the hell out of the plant my buddy left on my doorstep, stripped all the freakin spotted leaves. I'm hesitant to toss it, dont know why, I did notice spots on 2 other plants, barely, bastard being one of them. Ill be keeping a great hawk eye on them, ready to pluck anything I notice with a rust spot or toss that one plant out of there if I see too much appear. I need to grab some neem oil as well. Maybe I shouldn't run the tent sealed anymore, as I think it could be a big reason for the fungus. I never let humidity get over 60 and I had pretty decent air movement, but they are squeezed in there. I'm freaking scared. Nothing rubs off these spots. My run off PH has been low which makes me think calcium still. Guess I'll do some big-time flushing. Flushed all with 6.8 water until run off reached 6.5, roughly 10-12 gallons each. I'll l feed them tomorrow. Usually, I flush around day 45. I was trying to see if i could get away without doing so, with that scrog n all. Whew, I was trippin out there there, after reading n shit I got thinking the worst, should've stuck with my original diagnosis. I'm sure they'll be ok.👍 Zipper broke off the tent the other night, so it's now "sealed" with a red blanket🤣

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de esta Panty Punch de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y son bien prietas, aparte son súper aromáticas huelen mucho. (COLOQUEN UN BUEN FILTRO PARA EL OLOR). a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, la genética es perfecta para SOG y es bien vigorosa, es muy fácil cultivarla y muy resistente merece la pena si eres cultivador principiante. Hasta aquí es todo, espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Hadn’t really planned on starting veg in the middle of the night but I’m an insomniac and I think they were ready. Transplanted into clay pellets pre washed and pre soaked in ph 5.8 RO water. Going to flood for 15 minutes every 6 hours. Wanted to start off very light and technaflora recipe for success didn’t exactly say what to do for early veg, so decided to go 1/4 strength to start and work up from there. Starting at roughly 50% on the dimmer and will gradually ramp up. Added a humidifier since I’m in a very dry climate. First grow, hoping I’m not overthinking this. Wish me luck. Update 3/27 Realized I didn’t have enough water in my reservoir and plants were looking pretty stretchy. Added 5 gallons of ph5.8 1/4 strength solution. Shooting for 400 ppm for week 1 of actual veg. Plants are officially a week old from dropping in soil plugs. I think I’m going to count this as start of veg since I kinda screwed up with water level. Thankfully clay was soaked when I transplanted. Update 3/30 Plants stretched a little bit yesterday and started to topple over. Spent the better part of yesterday trying to keep them upright. In retrospect I originally transplanted these way too tall. Carefully dug away pellets and replanted deeper so leaves are just above ground level. All plant root systems look healthy. Bottom left plant is looking sadder than the rest with some droopy leaves. It was the stretchiest of the bunch. Update 3/31 PH had crept up to 6.4. Added 5 gal of ro water to top off. Brought ppm up to 400 and ph down to 5.8. Plants bounced back very nicely from deeper transplant. Running humidifier on lowest setting while lights are on to keep it around 70% rh Update 4/1 Upped nutes from 400 to 650ppm. Trying to ramp up to full strength by second week of veg. PH had crept up to like 6.5, brought it down to 5.8. Humidifier is only on during the day. At night it causes humidity to skyrocket and droplets to form on leaves even on lowest setting. May need to get it on a timer or just get a better humidifier. This 2.2L sucks

Here we are guys in the third week of the journal, last week I had some concern about the ph which was spiking at 7+ overnight but the problem solved it self when the roots started to shoot in to the water. my other concern was the temp inside the grow box which i solved buying a second hand portable ac (40€! such a bargain) now as you can see the girl is thriving and the roots too!! as you can see in the picture i put a white bed sheet around the black container so the water won't get hot, it works AMAZINGLY now the water goes in the hotter day at max 21.2 and than goes back to 20. Day 20 hey guys a small update, yesterday i topped the girl, i have only one concern, the plant is so damn bushy and the lower side shoots are almost covering the shoots on the the side of the topping. looking close i thought that maybe I had to top one set of leaves lower because under the fan leaves she is really really bushing everything is exploding but the plant still quite short, 7cm (2.7 inches) is that ok? apart from this i can't complain, the dwc system is working amazingly and the pland is healthy. please feel free to give suggestion comments or critics love you all I think the plant looks a bit bit pale so as I am writing this i added a 0.5 ml of flora micro to the res to add nitrogen, we will see how she reacts in the next days. In the next days I will top her and start some lst

.... Really good week but the work continues. The stretch is on. The 2 ladies on the extreme left has a proper stretch going on. It may be due to those are the girls I mainlined or it could be the blurple lights that both of them are under. Still removing some of the thick lower growth below the netting. its think but i remove just a little everynight for a gentle reduction in foliage. Not pictured here but on Day 12 white hairs were beginning to show. A few issues with high humidity during lights on or high heat when the dehumidifier is on. No strain specific smells as yet. Huge difference observed between the mainlined strains ( Orange Sherbert and Green Gelato) and the other LST strains in the tent. The stems of the mainlined strains tend to be fatter and there is a significant reduction on foliage on the mainlined strains. The LST strains (Blue Gelato 41 and the Vanilla Kush) are more bushy, squat with heavy foliage. Also not so much as a long stretch.

Its week 5 and you know what? We have some smell to enjoy! This week, the stretch finally finished completely. The plants stoped growing and are focussing their power and nutrients into bud producion from now on. Thats a very important moment in flower. My Hy-Pro nutrition plan tells me, to start giving Hy-Pro Epic Bloom in this critical development phase. This will give the ladies exactly what they need, to grow some big, tasty flower. I had to do another major under canopy cut on the Jack Herer. Took out another 15cm of buds over the net, since they would just suck up energy and never come close to the grade of quality I am looking for. I just was not ready for the growth, Hy-Pro made possible in my tent. Never experienced such explosive growth, just watched it happen for other guys on YouTube and social media. For my next grow, i will definitely have to beef up my tent. I can tell there is really some smell coming out of the tent by now. Its always a joy, to open it. Development is making me very happy. They grew strong, thick stems in vegi, those branches will be able to hold alot of weight in buds. From now on, i feed them the following: Hy-Pro Terra: 4,5ml/l (component nutrients) Hy-Pro Generator: 0.16ml/l Hy-Pro Cal-mag: 4ml/l Hy-Pro Epic Bloom: 0,5ml/l EC: 1,8 VPD: 1,40 PPFD: 930 µmol/m²/s I would really love, to see some colouration on the Mimosa and the Blueberry. Lets see, i might give them some colder air in two weeks or so, to trigger some colouration. Stay tuned! Grow strong, Friends! 👽
