Coming to a close here with Tangie'matic. This grow has been so enriching! I decided to go outside of my comfort zone and head strong into the controversial world of topping autoflowers. Some people swear by it, others stand by their stance that topping an autoflower will destroy any chance at a decent yield by stunting the plant in its already limited life cycle. This plant has been a true partner throughout this grow process. I pushed with the top, she pushed back with buds. I pushed her again by changing her grow environment when I decided to prematurely move my grow tent into the basement. She stacked and fattened. When I traveled and let her house get too chilly, she tossed me a couple of foxtails to remind me that I need to do a better job. I responded with more environment correction and she rewarded me by finishing up beautifully.

Week 8 flower and the OG Kush looks like fire 🔥 so frosty and covering everything. I thought this seed was a dud but it is definitely not! Flowers are not huge but that’s ok. Tight, frosty, and the smell very nice and getting stronger. The development is slow and has been since the beginning, might be something I’m doing or did, not to sure? Lights are at 12” and she is responding well. Looks like about two weeks to go. TS 600’s have done well again! Blimburn OG Kush seems to be producing some potent looking flowers. Need to do a better job taking care of the fungus gnats moving forward. Thanks for the view!

Week 11 – Day 79 (Flower Day 51) 🔄 General Update Unfortunately, I ran into a nutrient lockout earlier this week – some of you may have seen it in the comments. 📉 The drain pH just won’t go up anymore, even after multiple flushes with light nutrient solution. I’m now down to 50% of the feeding schedule and reduced light intensity to around 600 PPFD to keep stress levels low. ❄️ White Widow – Day 51 of Flower She’s clearly showing signs of the lockout now ⚠️ Still, the buds continue to swell visibly, which is honestly a nice surprise! It seems like she’ll make it to harvest without major damage. Flushing only from now on – harvest is planned for next week. ⚠️ Drain pH is stuck at 5.6 – completely off, but can’t be fixed anymore at this point.

2/8 Week 13 ! Her drinking is falling, almost a quart less today. Moving into flush range as the hairs are beginning to curl and seeing some small showings of amber. Reducing the Bloom nuets to 5ml until I see its time to change again, increasing PK slightly. Prob two days then go to full PK (15ml) to take her into flush. Plan a fast flush with an agent to speed things along. 2/9 Fed 5ml/gal CT Bloom A/B 12ml/gal Peak Another day 2/10 Leaving feeding as is, building nicely leaving the plant positioned as is think this is the best compromise between all the plants in the tent. Not sure how long this will go at this point, but not cutting her short for anything. Pics 2/12 Beginning to back off the PK leaving the CocoTek at a low dose. Plan to have the PK gone in a day or so but leaving the CT until flush. Just following some new ideas on using PKs and Finishers. Pics and vid of buds using a couple of filters just trying to show these two foot long buds without messing with the dark cycle. Hope it helps 2/13 Pics that you can actually see! Due to some issues, one is on this grow (I need to increase potency on Tara), changing out the HPS for MH for a while, may finish under it depends on the other grow. Looking at the trics I have decided to drop the PK and go to normal levels of Bloom nuets until flush. Continuing to keep her cleaned out as much as needed so light gets all the way down. 2/14 Pics of the rearranged tent to end the week, Realize now how much time switching the lights to 12-12 has added to Tara's finishing time. Had no real choice but its a point learned. Happy with her progress

So she was chopped (wet trimmed) yesterday (F74) and is now hanging up to dry at 55% RH and temps between 15 and 18ºc. I made fresh frozen dry ice hash today using a 160 micron bubble bag, a flat surface, 8kg of dry ice and a couple 5 gal buckets. I already have the weights for that, which far exceeded my expectations. Those figures I will post once she is dried and in 1 quart screw top glass jars. People suppose dry ice hash is inferior quality vs bubble hash. I am not experienced enough to comment on that but must say it is extremely easy to make hash with dry ice, it took 40 mins to process 995g of trim which included sugar leaves, some stems and popcorn buds. I then pressed it into 3.5g briquettes for storage using a pollen press. As you can see from videos, this stuff is all blonde - and after already trying some today with some friends, it knocked our boots off! Will be back in 5-7 days with harvest figures, smoke analysis and other details! Happy growing all! P.s I ticked defoliation this week - the only week I intentionally cut any leaves off for the entire grow 😉

The ladies are doing very well. They will soon start to bulk. We are very happy to be able to test the resinator from the rock nutrients, plus elan by crazyhillsnutrients and some calmag. we did a little bit of defoliation as well

No photos this week... My bad 😞 😭

Start of week 10, will harvest soon

Another good week, stretch is full on and probably another week or 2. They all got a topdress with compost and wormicompost, insectfrass, basalt, kelp, epsom, and seed meal to keep the worms happy. All in small doses... less is more :-)

Another good week!! I defoliated the smaller of the 2 plants mid-week... I think she is doing very fine. A small hiccup with the feed that same night. Only a few leaves are showing any sign on nutrient burn. I went ahead and fed them again today. I plan on watering them in a day or two... they were very thirsty this afternoon!! So, I definitely need to up the watering. I've still been feeding 3 quarts twice a week. Otherwise, all seems to be going well!! They are frosting up very nicely!! So exciting!! Peace!! Update for grow question: @The8thChevron thanks!!! I pulled them and will hope for the best for now. So close to the finish line. If I see more trouble brewing I will pull the plant. I don't know how to answer directly to you on the grow question.... Thanks again!!

Been busy starting back at work, not had as much time as I would of liked to keep an eye on the garden especially now they are all flowering. I thought I may have harvested a plan or 2 by now but the girls are still doing their thing. The original Russian is going to be the first over the line though. Lovely smell coming off her is unreal. Hope everyones gardens are doing well. Peace 🍁

Lit marker from lit farms is going to be another winner from lit farms. I can really see the growth structure from the permanent marker plant I grew in the past. Also the plant has taken on the same bud structure as the gas cream Runtz and one of the bubble og phenos. You can really see the lit og bud structure show through in a lot of lit farms plants. Really tight round nugs with the most interesting curly hairs. Everything with this bud structure I’ve grown has a great gas smell under a candy smell. This plant is also starting to have the same kinda fade to the leaves as the permanent marker I grew b4.

Week 3 of flower So we had a power outtage due to a storm that came through. Lost power from 10a-6p which is most of my day cycle. So there is that. The plants looks really well. Noticed a bit of spotting so I added some cal/mag with my last watering. Buds are hella frosty you can definitely see the Banana Butter cups coming through. Thanks for stopping by please leave a like and tips and advice are always appreciated.

🏆Eternity Grow Cup 2025 Plagron and Zamnesia🏆 Runtz Zamnesia Seeds - 37 days in, and our girl has spread wide, reaching 60 cm in width with plenty of branches. We gave her a little trim, and now we're considering cutting some branches, but I can't decide yet if it's the right move. Feel free to comment below on whether I should or shouldn't, and what benefits it might bring. Other than that, she's doing great, happily feeding on Plagron nutrients. Thanks again to everyone for the likes and comments. Special thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron!

Plant two is doing a little better color wise. Something is going on with the leaves of plant one mostly. Maybe it is because i was using overflow water straight from the air conditioning unit instead of the tap? I'm having to pull a lot of dead leaves off

Day 64 - the hulk is here! a. this plant has really surprised me and exploded everywhere b. Pumped out the DWC and installed 15 litres of my explosion flower blend. Adding liquid KoolBloom and keeping the Diamond Nectar flowing for this lady c. Ive noticed that continuing Diamond Nectar throughout flowering in strains that contain OG Kush make the buds much more dense. Day 65 - flowering really well a. I think she loves the new flowering blend! she drank 3 litres overnight! b. Im going to push this plant very hard to the finish c. keeping the PH 6.5 throughout all of flowering Day 66 - The sative genes are shining through! a. I wanted a super sativa plant for this grow, I want a mind numbing head high, this will do it b. it looks and smells alot like White Widow, probably due to the Myrcene terpenes. c. she is drinking 3-4L a day right now, Im dumping in the above chart mixed 1:1 right now. d. tied the larger side branches back a little to open her up, she is thick Day 67 - a little more guidance for the branches a. added in 2 ties for the large side branches to give space, there are many tops here b. she is drinking so much, it is crazy! c. the resin is already being produced, and is very sticky and strong Day 68 - explosions everywhere a. the buds are expanding vigorously, the stigmas are huge and very strong b. she is still stretching upward its amazing to see c. the plant is consuming 3-4L a day right now Day 69 - continue to grow a. drinking alot, 4L overnight, stretching like a giant b. lowered the light just a ilttle to get some more penetration into the plant Day 70 - growing like a weed!

SUMMARY: Still continuing with early bloom nutes this week. I ran out of rainwater this week for a few days and had to make a batch with tap water. Had some issues with humidity and temps now that the RH has naturally increased due to the size and bushiness of the plants and so I have had to turn the dehumdifier on however this raises the temps and so its about finding a good balance. I did a heavy defoliation on day 44 stripping almost all fan leaves and any lower small shoots which wont ever get enough light. I also raised the light again so that it is 16" above the canopy of my tallest plant which is a few inches taller than the NL. To mitigate this I raised the NL up by a couple inches or so. DAY 44 -------- Sunday 14th February 11:45 I made 10L of early bloom nutes with dechlorinated tap water (no rain water left), 5L at a pH of 5.7 and 5L at a pH of 5.6. Sunday 14th February 18:00 I did a heavy defoliation on the NL stripping almost all fan leaves and any lower small shoots which wont ever get enough light. I also raised the light again so that it is 16" above the canopy of my tallest plant which is a few inches taller than the NL. To mitigate this I raised the NL up by a couple inches or so. I fed the NL 2L of early bloom nutes which produced 550ml runoff (28%). [24°C/46%] DAY 45 -------- Monday 15th February 18:30 I fed the NL 2L of early bloom nutes which produced roughly 800ml runoff (40%) I THINK, as I spilt a bit in the tent. DAY 46 -------- Tuesday 16th February 11:30 I made 10L of early bloom nutes with rainwater, 5L at a pH of 5.8 and 5L at a pH of 5.9. I forgot to turn the heat down over night and the humidity is at 56% currently. [22°C/56%] Tuesday 16th February 18:30 I fed the NL 2L of early bloom nutes which produced roughly 1L runoff (50%). Shes still not back to her normal intake before the defoliation which was only 2 days ago. I turned the dehumidifier on and set it to 45% as the RH had climbed to 62%. [22°C/62%] DAY 47 -------- Wednesday 17th February 12:00 I made 10L of early bloom nutes with dechlorinated tap water, 5L at a pH of 5.7 and 5L at a pH of 5.6. Wednesday 17th February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.7L of early bloom nutes which produced roughly 820ml runoff (48%). DAY 48 -------- Thursday 18th February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.2L of early bloom nutes which produced roughly 670ml runoff (56%). Shes still hardly drinking much so I will dial this down to 1L tomorrow. I adjusted a couple of ties to expose more bud sites. I had to move the light up again by 2 inches to accommodate for growth as it was sitting at 14" above the canopy. [24°C/52%] DAY 49 -------- Friday 19th February 18:30 I found the tent at 28% RH. No idea how that's occurred but I did notice it was hotter then usual this morning. I turned the dehumidifier of for a couple of hours and it jumped back up to 61% and so I will just set it to 55% RH. I fed the NL 1.5L of early bloom nutes which produced roughly 500ml runoff (33%) so it's looks like she may finally be bouncing back after the defol last sunday. [24°C/52%] DAY 50 ------ Saturday 20th February 11:30 The tent temp has been sat at around 23°C overnight somehow. The dehumidifier keeping the humidity around 45-50% seems to also keep the temps between 23-27°C. Saturday 20th February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.5L of early bloom nutes which produced roughly 600ml runoff (40%). Looks like i have a humidity problem and so ive reluctantly removed some more leaves from Jesus as she is bushy again after a week or perhaps I didnt defol enough. If I have the dehumidifier off the humidity is in the low 60s but if I lower it to like 45-50% then the temps stays too high between 24°C-33°C. [22°C/64%]

Day 75 she’s in the dark ice flushing looking beautiful as ever. She smells Devine. I can’t wait for her to finish up so she can get the chop. Her trichomes look so good I can’t even start with her. Beautiful looking lady.

Bulking is in progress, nothing else to report, just waiting. Values are average of the day.
