End of week 22: Overal it was a good run with the Shamans from @DutchPassion_Official . Didn't had mayor problems besides having to harvest them earlyer. I really wanted to flower them another 2 weeks but the weather/climate didn't allow me to. Still the buds came out decent as you can see for an early harvest. I will cure those buds for some time in my pots before they get smoked and will update how much weight I got out of the two plants. As you can see I made the bigger buds smaller. There is no use for me to keep big buds for showing off. Big buds just have big long stems in it, harder to dry and to fill your cure pots with.

SO, the girls were doing so well into their second week I decided to do the unthinkable... I topped autos! 😳😳🤯🤯 I figured they were doing so well and hadn't entered flower yet; let's do our best to keep them small and get multiple good buds instead of just one. This will also give me the best opportunity to lst them down using ties. Stayed tuned for that! This girl is doing okay, looking scraggly compared to the rest. I'm hoping she'll spread out once trained. Dimmed to 40% but increased it today to 60% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by!

They are standing perfectly straight and I didn't want to break or snap anything off. They are doing great. 🔸I tried out my additional light this week and connected it to my controller. As soon as the flowering starts I will switch it on. I'll have to see how much distance I use this time, the lamps were too close to the plants during the last grow “Runtz” and that didn't look nice. 🔸Next week I will start giving her Big Bud as soon as the first buds appear. 🔸Poison Envy: Would say the stretch is not over yet, very slight hairs on the nodes can be seen...it's definitely all ladies :D She is now over 35 Cm so in a week she will be 10 CM stretch, let's see when she is ready. _________________________________________________________________________________________ current conditions: 🌡️🔆= 24° 🌡️🌜= 18-19° 💨 Hum. = 65% 🔦 PPFD = 600 umol 12/12 🔦⌚DLI = ~ 25 _________________________________________________________________________________________ equipment to use: 💡 Light: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4- 120 on 60% ⛺ 120 x120 x 180 🍯 Pots: 18 liter pot 🌱 Soil: Bio-Bizz light mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap Water 0,5 EC _________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 50 Flower (Day 92) Today is the first day of week eight of flower, and we're in overtime. According to the breeder, last week was supposed to be the final week of flower since this is a fast strain with Ruderalis in it, but the girls are still far from done. The right girl is still mostly clear, and the left girl has a bunch of fattening up to do before I'll even look at her trichomes. All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.3 water. I did some bud photography as well, but I haven't processed those images yet. Day 51 Flower (Day 93) I'm starting to see a fade in some of the right girl leaves but nothing major yet. I gave her 3 liters of pH 6.1 water and called it a day. Tomorrow I have to hook up her drip irrigation system so I have a few days to tweak it before I'm off on vacation. Day 52 Flower (Day 94) Today, I finally got around to hooking up the drip irrigation system to the right girl. Setting it up was straightforward - put four drip emitters around the plant, run a hose from the emitters to a 120 l water barrel, connect the hose to a pump, set up how much water you want per day, done. For a long time, the right girl has been drinking 3 liters of water per day. One filling in my small 3-liter watering can. I figured, though, that I should first check if the can is 3 liters in the first place, so I filled it up and then measured how much water there was in it. It turns out that the can only contain 2.5 liters. Chinese quality... Anyway, no big deal when I've been hand-watering, but great to know now, as the system would have overwatered otherwise. I set up the system to irrigate 2.4 liters per day, slightly less than currently, but I think she will soon start to drink less as she matures and starts fading. In any case, I rather come home to a slightly thirsty plant than to one that has drowned. It's a bit clunky to use a timer-based drip system as it doesn't adapt to the plant. That's why I'm currently designing and building my own system, based on a Raspberry Pi, which irrigates based on moisture levels in the soil. The aim is to maintain the perfect soil moisture in each pot, no matter how much each girl drinks. This concept s precisely how a low-tech Blumat system work, and I even have one of those, but I can't use it for practical reasons, so I'm "stuck" at building my own hi-tech solution instead ;) The left girl in the small tent is just doing her thing, slowly fattening up. She is foxtailing hard, though, but I'm not surprised, considering all the stress she went through. No big deal, I'll turn those buds into a tincture instead. The flower that got burned a bit in my main tent is also foxtailing but way less. I also got delivered and installed a fire extinguisher ball in my small tent. Now each of the tents should be protected from accidental fire. I have to admit that the thought of leaving my tents up and running alone for a week makes me a wee bit nervous, so I'm taking the precautions I can. I never had any problems in the past, and I like to keep it that way. Day 53 Flower (Day 95) There isn't much to do this late in flower now when I don't even have to water anymore. Although, I am monitoring the soil moisture levels to ensure the irrigation systems work as they should. Today I also changed my Bluetooth Thermo/Hygrometers to WiFi versions since they allow me to remote monitor the tents when I'm off on vacation next week. They are currently showing the temps as high, but since I put them all the way up in the tent, it makes sense that it is hot up there. I will move them down to canopy level before I leave. I could also finalize our travel plans today after going back and forth, making plans, and changing them again for days. Next week, we're off to Iceland, where we will pick up a motorhome at the airport and then drive around as the wind and mood take us. We have been to Iceland before, but the place is so unique that we can't wait to return. It will be interesting (and a bit scary) to see how the girls will manage while I'm gone, but I believe that I've done enough to keep them safe and sound in my absence. A friend of mine can drop by our apartment and look at the girls should it be necessary, but I think they'll be alright. Day 54 Flower (Day 96) Last night, just before heading to bed, I checked the girls to ensure that the irrigation systems worked correctly. A good decision as there was a big puddle of water in the right girl's tent. Fuuuuuuu... So at 4 in the morning, I had to remove that water. Great. It turned out to be around 2.5 liters, and I guessed that the system wasn't working correctly by watering too much. Oh well, it was late, and I decided to deal with that the next day. When I opened the tent today, there was a new puddle even though I had turned off the system the night before. Huh??? I soon found the problem, though. Each drip emitter has a rubber membrane that keeps the emitter closed whenever the pump isn't running. That's in theory. In practice, however, the membrane doesn't close up properly, and water can flow through. I filled up my big 120-liter water barrel yesterday, which caused the water level to be above the level of the emitters. Considering the leaky emitters, we now had a water siphon system running, pulling water from the barrel and continuously dripping even though the pump wasn't running. Luckily I already had a low and squat 50-liter reservoir at hand, so I put the pump in that one instead, as it is lower than the emitters. That should solve that problem. I hope. (Yes, I know it is terrible with a white reservoir as it enables algae growth but it is all that I have right now and I'll throw a blanket over the reservoir before we leave.) However, from this experience, I decided to turn on the system for 24 hours, collect all water, and measure the exact amount. Honestly, I should have done that from the start already. Oh well, we live and learn. Anyway, I removed the system and taped it to the inside of a bucket, which collects the water, and tomorrow I'll measure it. Besides all this fun irrigation action, I didn't do anything else with the girls today. Day 55 Flower (Day 97) Things are looking better in the tent today. I left the irrigation system running for 24 hours, and there was no more siphoning happening after I switched to the lower water reservoir, so that's good. However, the system was still overwatering by half a liter. Not too bad on a daily basis, but as I'm gone for a week, I need it to perform better. I dialed it in by adding one more dripper but decreasing the frequency. I'm currently using five drip emitters, and they run for six minutes every 12 hours. I did three test runs (simulating a full 24 hours run cycle), and the average water volume is 2.43 liters per 24 hours. Spot on. Day 56 Flower (Day 98) The last day of the eighth week of flower, and everything is moving along nicely. A bit slow since the girls were supposed to be done already, but I'm in no real hurry. I'm off tomorrow for a week of vacation, and I hope I have taken all precautions to keep the girls safe and sound. They should be alright, but a friend will drop by in a few days to make sure. I haven't checked the trichomes in a few days, but that can wait until I return. All I did today was to check that the irrigation systems are running correctly. The cheap system for the small girl is a bit finicky to adjust, but the other system is running just fine now when I have the other water reservoir.

Well there is a reason why there was a lack of updates... Unfortunately it seems like I didn't clean my tent well enough and I also didn't change the carbon filter. I changed both of that (hopefully)... at least the carbon filter is brand new. #2 had to leave and #1 is also gone. After a few days of being down and not caring so much about the plants, I placed the King's Juice Auto #3 outdoors and hope that because of the topping, she is still so early into flower, that she might've not been pollinated from the last run. She will be placed back into the tent tomorrow and let's pray she wasn't pollinated already and let's pray I cleaned the tent carefully enough.

2025-06-15 Plants are stretching and iam multiple topping often, to keep her horizontal, it looks like she made it through the harsh action by planting her into open ground. i should have been waiting longer before transplant into the growund, and she was not happy for weeks, but now its fine xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx iam going to let them grow indoors, and make Clones, then iam going to spread the Clones in my area /( gifting them to all my Friends, because its one of the best Outdoor Plants for my Country She is fast flowering and ready to cut before the big Rain in September starts THE DREAM OF HONEY CREAM- a short Story In a secluded garden, nestled among rolling hills, a tiny seed named Honey dreamed of touching the sky. As autumn leaves fell, a kind gardener prepared her a bed of rich earth, whispering promises of spring. Through winter's chill, Honey slumbered, drawing strength from the nurturing soil. When spring's warmth kissed the earth, Honey stretched her first roots, drinking deeply from the gardener's carefully prepared feast below. Under a protective roof, Honey grew bold and strong. Her branches reached out, green fingers grasping at sunbeams. The gardener, with gentle hands, guided Honey's dance, encouraging her to spread wide rather than tall. As summer blazed, Honey felt a stirring within. Delicate flowers emerged, and soon, the air was heavy with her sweet perfume. The gardener wove a net of string above her, and Honey twirled her buds through it, each one reaching for the sky. Days lengthened, and Honey's thirst grew. The gardener brought her cool water each morning, and Honey drank greedily, swelling her buds with liquid sunlight. She could feel herself growing sweeter, richer, with each passing day. As autumn returned, painting the world in gold and crimson, Honey stood resplendent. Her once-tiny frame now boasted a bounty of gleaming, resin-coated flowers. The gardener approached, eyes wide with wonder, and Honey preened under the admiring gaze. With loving care, the gardener harvested Honey's gifts, each snip a whispered "thank you" for the season's dance. And though Honey's journey in the garden was complete, she knew her legacy would live on, bringing joy and healing to all who experienced her sweet embrace. In the quiet of the autumn evening, the gardener smiled, already dreaming of the next spring when a new seed would dance in Honey's footsteps.

hello guys, we really got to the limit I think! after 89 days, the first month of March was very cold and April not least !, I still managed to have a beautiful plant !!! and rich in trichomes, the smell is reminiscent of pine resin! and I can't wait to try. Sunday 9/6 cutting ... while in the indoor I'm growing the non-original seed born from a top, now I've passed it after 89 days of vegetative, in bloom it was full of primordial flowers! I think it will be a success !!!!, then I cut some branches I made 4 cuttings 1 of these is dead, the others continue on their way, for reasons of space they are already receiving even 12 hours of light .. .

2.24.2024: Start of week 5 from seed. Started to flower last week. Nothing done today. Still no nutes given, still scared to defoliate. Plant is 15.5 inches tall and looks healthy. Light is 11 inches from the top and at 75% power, 112 watts. I'm clearly no expert and i'm sure there's something i should be doing(feeding) but she's chugging along. 2.25.2024: Day 37 from seed. Watered 64oz at 6.3ph. Bud development is slower then her tent mate. Perhaps thats due to her bushy stature and foliage. Still seeing solid upward growth each day. Hopefully she turns on the jets this week. Still no auxillary nutes given. Finally worked up the nerve to take off 8 fan leaves. Really opened the plant up. Hopefully i don't pay the price! 2.26.2024: Day 38. Small bit of upward growth. No negative affects from the defoliation yesterday. Will feed tomorrow for the first time at 1/4 strength nutes from the fox farm trio and maybe some calmag. 2.27.2024: Day 39 from seed. Finally fed the plant, albeit small amounts. Foxfam trio at 1/4 strength of the week 5 doses plus calmag. 64oz of the solution at 6.5ph. 2.28.2024: Day 40 from seed, 36 from sprout. Nothing doing today. Maybe a 1/4 inch of upward growth? Stuck around 19.5 inches in total height. Light at 75% power 11inches from the top. 2.29.2024: Day 41. 96oz of ph 6.5ph. Upward growth has stalled at 19.75 inches. Added a few handfuls of Ocean Forrest as i noticed the soil level has compacted a bit. Will add pics later today once she perks up a bit. 3.1.2024: End of week 6, day 42 from seed. Small bit of upward growth, now up to 21 inches. Besides some lite defoliation, i've let the plant do its thing. Since its my first time i figured the only goal is just to get to harvest. Lots of learnings thus far. FFOF probably isn't ideal but its working. Some burnt leaf tips, probably some nitrogen toxicity, but otherwise we're doing well. Will definately look to LST more and sooner next time around.
