The permanent markers are doing alright. They're still really short compared to the others, but they're finally starting to take off. I can kinda see them catching up soon. The new year is off to a frosty start! We've had snow falling for what feels like forever. My kids are loving it, of course. They're building forts, having snowball fights, and turning everything into a winter wonderland. It's been a lot of fun to watch them enjoy it. All this snow is really making me think about how quickly time flies. It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating the holidays, and now here we are knee-deep in winter. I'm looking forward to warmer weather, but for now, I'm enjoying the quiet beauty of fresh snow.

All have taken well to nutrients, will probably keep at same ratio throughout flowering. Will also be using 1ml/l of b52 from flower week 3 and then ripen before flush. A few seem to be fattening up before the others but all are doing OK. Will update every 1-2days.

What a beautiful strain Orange Hill Special is, nice and bushy, great internodal spacing, sturdy and healthy. Happier and happier with how this grow is going. The less beautiful parts on top are my doing, my blind as a bat FIM destroyed half the top of the plant. More patience next time... The super soil is still performing great and I´m pushing up the dimmer to get the ladies used to more light, very carefully because leaves are folding every time. Some of you might be happy to find my European recipe/shopping list for super soil. I tried to make it with widely offered products throughout Europe. Feel free to use it and elaborate on it. If one product is not available in your country, please check the brands at the bottom, which might be available in your country, and substitute. The only thing one could add to the recipe (which I did but forgot in the shopping list) is some Epsom salt. Fed them again with my permaculture tea, all seem to flourish and smells are starting to come from the plant, with that same distinct dankiness I had in earlier grows with this tea. See the germination page and other diaries for more info on my Perma tea. Now they were big enough, some might even say too big, to start the real training. I always love to give them a little bend the week before, to get used to the idea. With some sterilized bamboo sticks I pushed the plants down to expose their sexy undersides. Let them become forests of buddy bush. Thats it for this week! Thanks for following and happy growing!!

Update of rdwc goodiez 2

So far so good. Don’t think I’m gonna do any type of training on these but not 100% yet. Get me ideas on what to do.

at last we are in harvest week. im happy at all it was a good experience. my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are dense and frosty but very little in size! i had some mistakes and problems with this grow so i admit i wasted them . lesson from this grow : grow autos far from fems and always give them 20 hours or more light per day to get good weight in little time.

This girl has been cruising through no issues the smell typical hockey Moby Dick thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Been going so well plants looking amazing they're going to find bigger pots by next weeks update and be in the veg room under there new lights and out of the tent lots more space and lots more light

a little bit of leafburn on the left lady... unfortunatly.. but she'll push through!

Smells amazing

Всем доброго времени суток ✌️ Смотрите со 105 дня  Наконец добрался до своего минигрова и переделал коробку,извиняюсь ,что долго не выкладывал,работаю сейчас почти каждый день и бывает не особо было времени идти на локацию,тут ещё передержал растишки в шприцах,поливы бывало пропускал,быстро сохла земля,так как корни уже вылезали из под низа,потом после пересадки,растишки тупили больше месяца,я думал всё,хана им,но выходил их,чему был очень рад,дальше ещё был момент,что мягкие поддоны в боксе прохудились от старости и когда поливал обычный гров,то вода проливалась после полива и дно коробки становилось мокрым,затем сверху от тяжести лампы,коробку промялась,вообщем самое главное растишки живы и мой проект продолжает радовать Вас и меня,сделал каркас из опор для растений, теперь точно спокоен,но вот момент немного не продумал,по поводу тренировок растишек,так сказать изподвыподверта ,но ничего через тернии так сказать,в шприцах делал спецом,чтобы потом удобно было пересаживать на вулкан,делаю полив ровно в жерло вулкана )) с такой жарой,пришлось делать отвод от напольного кондея к нижнему притоку, 105 дней от каски,а я ещё не разу не кормил удобрами ,только давал от биобаза витамины,теперь точно больше не пропаду и буду часто выкладывать контент,впереди грандиозные планы ,ну и надеюсь получится сделать изюминку к концу грова

12/19/2025 What a ride! So many screw ups on my part and she still came through! I was gonna wait for tomorrow, but after checking trichomes, I decided to harvest. Another reason is because I just popped 2 new seeds. So they'll need to go in the 3x3 soon enough. I'd love to try this strain again without any issues. Lol. She came out at 41 oz. Not bad. So I might get like 4 to 6 oz out of her. Can't complain for that. 12/20/2025 Day 1 and we are looking great! Temp is at 61° f and the humidity is hanging out around 57%. I have it set to 56%, but it likes to hover over it. Fine by me! So I'm guessing around 10 to 12 days. I have 2 seeds germinating right now. It should be a couple days for Germination and then about 10 days (hopefully a little more) in the seedling stage. They'll be moved into their buckets in the main tent. The problem is the 10 to 12 days is in the main tent. Granted I can always move her to the Drying tent after Papaya Cookies finishes up. But that'll be another 7 days or so. Maybe I should do that. I still have to clean all the equipment and wipe the walls down. Should take me just a day to do that. And another day to get the environment acclimated back to 77° and 60% humidity. Anyway, that's all for today. Let's hope it all pans out and I don't have to move her to the dry tent. I just don't want to move her at all. Not until it's trimming time. (I have to trim in the tent so I don't overwhelm my apartment with weed smell. Otherwise I would trim right in my living room. I remembered something. The roots of this little lady were super clear. Not clean by any stretch of the imagination, but but definitely clear. Especially in the pebbles. I have a feeling the sludge from Papaya Cookies was due to the top feeding system. It brought nutrients from the bottom up. But I over fed, so the salts all built up at the top of the water and that's what caused the pH fluctuations. Has to be it. And the light damage. 12/21/2025 Day 2 of drying. I have a time lapse video I'm making of the drying process. Unfortunately it's in night vision, you can only see that. But who cares! It's a time lapse video. They're cool. Nothing else to report. I'll take a picture on day 7 so we can see the difference. Other than that, it'll be short entries like this one. She smells delicious. I know the smell of going to go away for a bit and then come back with a vengeance. 12/22/2025 I suppose a picture is in order. It's only been 3 days. But there you have it. Nothing else to report. Staying strong at 63° and 56%. Something to report: So my pre-filter got clogged and blocked the air flow. By a whole lot. I tried to get it out, but it's kinda stuck there, so I squeeeched it on on itself like an accordion. That worked not great, but now there's air flow. I don't think I'm gonna run another pre-filter next run. Or maybe I will but not until flowering starts. Maybe it'll last the rest of the run. I just don't know how so much dust got in there. My house is honestly spot free. Like vacuumed every other day, wipe surfaces as needed so I don't have to spend a day going through the whole apartment. I do one room a day. So it's never dirty. Spotless apartment. Hell, I move the furniture around every other week to get under. Well, except for the entertainment center. That's kinda too big to move around. Or well heavy. Too much for me to move around at least. But everything else gets moved. The point is, there's very little dust in the apartment. So where did all this shit come from? Would it be the humidifier? I read somewhere that humidifiers launch dust or some sort of compound. Either way, it somehow clogged a pre-filter. At least my carbon filter is clean. Definitely gonna have to figure that one out. 12/23/2025 Day 4 of drying So this is the EXACT reason I kept my humidifier in the tent. It ran out of water this morning and by the time I got up the humidity was down to 37%. Hence why I keep the humidifier in the tent. As a matter of fact, my Papaya Cookies had the same problem. The humidifier ran out of water. Clearly I forgot to fill them up. Lol. Whoops. Anyway, that kinda makes me wonder how others keep the humidity up to a high 50s%. And no, I will not be moving to a tropical climate. Admit it, some of you are thinking that. But seriously. How do you keep your tent in range? Because the ONLY way to do it is to have a humidifier in the tent. It's the only way. Or have it outside of the tent, but either way, you need a humidifier on and running. Mine runs when the humidity drops below 55% then stops at 56%. Honestly I don't know why I'm not getting a range like with the AI. Frankly I think they need to add a drying stage in the AI system. The only annoying thing is the AI does 12/12 even though it's set up for an autoflower. I didn't change it from veg. Just in case something got messed up. We'll see when the next run gets there. Alright. She's on day 4 and has another good 8 days to go. Definitely. If not a day or 2 longer. She is very leafy and I didn't trim as much as I wanted to. I just couldn't reach some of the leaves on the inside. I didn't cut sugar leaves. I want them for concentrate. I think the actual Dry Tent will be free in a few days. Maybe 2, maybe 3. Who knows. Well, me. But I could be wrong. Lol. I will be needing it before long. I have my Apple Strudel and Blue Dream already seedlings and will mostikely need to be transplanted in the next 4 to 5 days. If not sooner. I'm really hoping I'm right and the Dry Tent will be free in a 2 or 3 days. Time crunch! 12/24/2025 Day 5 drying So I moved Lemon Cherry Cookies into the dry tent today. My Papaya Cookies was ready for trimming. Trim jail. So far it's been pretty bouncy because I had the main tent open. Other than that, nothing else to report. Lol 12/25/2025 Happy holidays everyone! Day 6 of drying. I'd say a few more days. So I forgot to fill the humidifier again! I'm setting an alert on my phone damnit. Anyway, the humidity was down to 37% no clue for how long. Probably a few hours. She's not done yet, but that sped up the process a lot faster than I wanted. Damnit. Oh well. I'm gonna have to figure out a better setup. 3 more days maybe? I tried brushing off some of the leaves with my cannabrush, but nothing was moving. Hence not done. Good to know. Cuz that thing is really only good for big buds. Not the small ones I have. Shame that. Maybe I'll get some nice fat nugs next run. 12/26/2025 Day 7 Ok so I live in an apartment house. There's 3 apartments. One downstairs and the other 2 upstairs. I'm in an upstairs unit. Well, SOMEONE (lower apartment dwellers) fucked with the fucking heat! I woke up to a 54° apartment in the middle of winter. The dry tent was 50° as well. I have a space heater, but it's not enough. The temp is up to 62° in the apartment and 51° in the tent. I'm keeping the tent humidity low so I don't get mold while I figure out when these assholes are gonna turn the heat back up. Seriously pissed off. And FREEZING! Anyway, it's only day 7 drying and I'm already feeling dried bud. The branches aren't snapping but hollow and will crush in between my fingers. It'll snap then, but like not when I bend the branch. I think I'm gonna have to ask a question. Or look it up. 12/27/2025 Day 8. I think she's done drying. I was going for 11 days, but clearly that's not happening. Not with the temp swing. Either way, I can smell the doneness and the snap test is ummmmmmm working? Things are snappy now, so I'm gonna trim today. I'll let the curing bags do the thing if they're too wet. Well, that's it for this part of my grow diary. Hoped you enjoyed the read and got some vital info of what NOT to do. Lol. For the rest of the diary, go to the smoke report. Thanks all for checking it out. 12/28/2025 Well, it's trimming day. I forgot to fill the damned humidifier again. So I woke up to 35% humidity in the dry tent. Everything was working fine until I turned the main tent on. The heater started blowing hot humid air instead of the exhaust fan venting it out. So I took that apart. Now I'm trimming in the tent with the humidifier on so it can keep the rest of the plant from getting brittle. I feel like it's a relace against time. Gotta get everything in the grove bags.
