I was pleasantly surprised with Green Crack as a whole throughout the grow. She stayed healthy throughout her lifespan while producing decent sized colas in bloom. I would suggest a slightly higher temp in late veg, closer to 80-84. I have her hanging in my dry room at 66 degrees and 62% RH. The smell is starting to envelope the room with a strong fruity almost tropical aroma. I canโ€™t wait to update my diary after sheโ€™s dry enough to smoke but even more excited to try her after a solid 30 day cure. I harvested one of the Mimosa Cakes last week. Itโ€™s in day 7 of drying with about 3-5 days to go. Stay tuned for the smoke results and final weight!

Really took off as you can see, nearly 16.5 inches. My ph meter calibration was off, I hope it won't have much effect on her, time will tell but I'm hopeful she'll battle through it.

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% ๐Ÿ˜Ž March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

30.12.24: So I finally became brave enough last night to use LST on my grow for the first time. Watermelon ๐Ÿ‰ is doing much better than the other plants were at this stage, and still better than one that's 7 weeks old already! I'm very pleased with this strain and phenotype so far. As I've implemented the LST much earlier for her, I'm very excited to see what happens in the next couple of weeks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Thanks for checking out my diary ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸƒโœŒ๏ธ

Day 19-26 (May 10th - May 17th) (Day 21) Stretch is almost over and the plants still look like theyโ€™re in veg. Iโ€™m seeing almost zero trichomes and when compared to my other room itโ€™s laughable. At least the sites are starting to fill in a little. One plant is super leggy and stretchy. Iโ€™m guessing itโ€™s Jack Herer but wonโ€™t know until late flower or harvest. The plant in the far left corner has great structure and thick pistil clumps. Iโ€™m guessing itโ€™s either blueberry or the white og. Blueberry has a pretty distinct smell so differentiating all the strains wonโ€™t be that hard actually. (Day 24) Iโ€™ve been rearranging the plants once in a while just to get all sides exposed to some decent light. I never realized how much I value my LED until this run. The only way I would ever use another hps for flower is if it was one of those 1000w DE lights that all the commercial grows use. Sites are starting to fill in quite a bit now. Trichomes are still non existent though. Even on the archive genetics which is really surprising. (Day 25) Pots somewhat dried out finally. Tomorrow Iโ€™m going to leach everything with another 2 liters each and top dress with 15ml of natureโ€™s pride bloom, 10ml of Destiny launch and 5ml of kelp meal. Iโ€™m starting to see minor N tox on some of the plants so I will probably give them a full gallon. This tent is largely experimental so Iโ€™m going to fuck with these plants pretty heavy to iron out some theories and try some new techniques. (Day 26) When I was watering today I noticed that slurricane, Puro loco and guava cake all hermed. The archives just got too stressed out in early veg I think. When I dug up both plants they were still being choked out by the sponge aerogarden plugs. Puro Loco was leading by far in the trichome department too. The guava cake was from a hermed bagseed so itโ€™s not surprising at all but that kind of pisses me off about the โ€œeliteโ€ Archive genetics, especially if you paid 200$ for a 10 pack. Then again, it was still my error and not their genetics. Luckily I didnโ€™t pay a dime for them. Running those was a complete waste of time and space. With proper environment and no seedling stress Iโ€™m sure I could have grown some amazing looking stuff. All the European and Canadian genes look fine though. Iโ€™m sure they would have filled out a lot more if they werenโ€™t being choked out by hermies. No signs of bananas anywhere else. Hopefully the 4 slurricanes I have outdoor this year will pull through without herming.

This week was a bit of a struggle. Plant was moved to 5 gallon container and into a tent. It took me a few days to get the humidity under control but all is well now that I've got a little better ventilation. The only thing I'm very concerned with now is bringing the ph down to a 6.5 -7. I'm going to use distilled water instead of nutrient mix for the next week and likely will heavily dilute the nutrient mix before next feeding.

Dosidos has recovered from the snail attack very nicely ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘ The snail has topped her a bit too early but thats ok.. just glad she is still trying to bake some cookies ๐Ÿ’ช We have had some nice summer days (3..๐Ÿ˜ณ) So that surely helped๐Ÿ‘ I have sprayed her with neemoil-mix (neemoil, detergent and luke warm water) so she will stay strong from attacks of other cookie munsters๐Ÿ’ช Now its raing and cloudy again so she is in greenhouse with her crew ...having a powwow ๐Ÿ˜ฅ happy growing for all โœŠ

Watered with 2ml/l of BioGrow and added Micro Vita to the soil, using around 7 grams on 15 litres. Vegetative explosion !! Every morning i check the plants to see if there are bugs or plagues, or if branches need to be bended down, in that case im using strings wich i tie to the pot holes, made with a screwdriver. Every day inspection ๐Ÿ˜Ž
