*If anyone read through my GDP diary, this is going to be mostly the same stuff. So, sad day friends. I got spider mites and had to throw all my plants out. This is what I think happened: About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed some freckling on the lower leaves. I looked at it and thought it might be a cal/mag issue so I added cal/mag that week and went about my business. I saw it about a week later and it wasn't getting any better so I added more cal/mag. This continued for about 2-3 weeks until I finally took off a leaf and examined it under my microscope. I saw little bugs crawling everywhere and my stomach just dropped. My fiance did some quick research while I was panic ripping leaves off (see pictures) and she correctly diagnosed it as spider mites. I debated with myself and my close friend and ultimately I decided to throw all the plants in my tent away. I know that there are a lot of people who will say that there are things I could have done to make it to harvest but what it came down to is the people I take care of and personal pride. I consider myself a caregiver and I give away product for free that I am not going to use to my family and close friends. I thought to myself "Would you smoke this?" and when my answer was "ehhh, I don't know", I thought about how it would feel giving it away and immediately made the decision to destroy them. I take an immense amount of pride in my product and this hobby and if I am not going to stand behind it I would rather just start over. I grow from my heart (shout out to the Grow From Your Heart Podcast!) to help people and make sure my family is not getting unsafe product from sketchy people. To spray pesticides in flower that may hurt people and have little bug carcasses in there just goes against that in every way and is just wrong in my opinion if you are giving it away to others. If you are the only one smoking it then it is one thing to take that risk but not with your patients. I want my medicine to help people, not create or exacerbate health issues. It is also important to note that the mites had moved from my flower tent into my veg space and took over my auto berry as well. Damn things are crafty and fast. So that is why I made the decision to destroy them all after 3+ months of res changes, pruning, and manifolding on a slow vegging strain. Feel free to chime in with your opinion but I do not regret my decision. I threw out my new clones, mother plant, and auto berry I had on my veg side as well. Shout out to all the other growers out there that do the right thing by their patients. Caregivers > Cash croppers. For anyone curious, I removed everything from my tent and scrubbed it all with a 20% bleach/water solution. All equipment has been wiped down and stored in the garage away from any organic materials. I will give them until tomorrow (2 days) to air out and dry and then I will wipe it down again with bleach and wait another 2 days. Hopefully that will make sure everything is dead and will not come back next grow. That next grow should start in about a week. It sucks but sometimes it happens and you gotta be ready for it. Lesson learned. Never bring outdoor plants into your indoor garden even if it is after just a day or two. A bunch of people on here and Reddit warned me and I did not listen. Now I have learned the hard way and it feels like when your parents "told you so" haha. Thanks to everyone who stopped by along the way. Stay tuned for a new grow coming soon. It is going to be some cool new limited edition Mephisto Illuminautos. I am pretty excited. Good luck out there and always grow from your heart folks. -Grim

Evening ladies and genitals, this week is amazingly better than the last few weeks. Reasons are: 1. i upgraded the fan in my grow tent. Its tall and oscillates. 2. I’ve figured out how to get the vapor from the humidifier directly into the tent as you can see in the video. As the extraction fan is running 24/7 it pulls in the air from the only open air intake hole pulling in the vapor. 3. I repotted from the teeny tiny pots into 2 litre pots with Sohum Living Soil. So I've upgraded the soil type. For a beginner like me this releases a lot of internal pressure from worrying about the nutrient deficiencies. With all that said the ladies have responded great. I’ve started to weigh each pot to guage how much water is being evaporated so i dont overwater. Some issues remain on the leaves from my previous overwatering but I’ve learnt that the damaged leaves will stay damaged. You can see the tips are hella bent in 1 pic at the ends. Hopefully it will be OK for the new leaves at least. I cut off damaged leaves on 2 of the girls but left the others. I want to see what happens when they are left to grow naturally and mindful of the fact that if defoliating at not the right intervals will stunt their growth . I will do LST but at the moment i cant cause they're not really big enough yet. Till next time, peace out. 420 right around the corner!

Overall she grew good. No harsh reactions so I'm happy to put some bud in the jar. She vegged out 20cm and got to 35-38cm and finished with a lovely fade. Amazing scents. (More to come after some review next month. This pheno gets 9☆ the other 10☆ as the yield on my last Highcloudz was like 3-4x. But the buds are of a much higher grade. So, its a very high rating. Just sad there's not much of it. In saying that, now that you can change the rating I've no doubts I'll be giving it a 10 upon my smoke review.. I've fems left so ill be doing a SOG soon and this fem will defo be in it. 15+3-4 grams i quick dried. This defo needs a cure. The taste is so confusing, I get the scents of watermelon, typical zkittlez smell with a twist, the confusing part. Is f there's different smells coming from different buds. Smoking there is a very light panty taste. Very stoney, uplifting, very happy with when I harvested. Has much more of an energetic buzz with a nice mellow high. Very strong but not couch locking so things can be done. It kinda puts me in the zone. Been one of my smaller harvests. I have 2g left to keep out for 2moro day, I'll be putting this on 4-6 week cure. I'm gonna leave it out for another 12hrs or so. The stuff that came off the stems just now is very very slightly till wet. It would be able to put into the cure jar, but would need a lot more burping. So, id rather leave it to dry out properly and I'll burp every 12hrs, leave lid of for 4-5m and after a week, I'll slowly start burping it less. Knowing how weed dries you really can't set times on curing you go with how the weed feels. There is no hay smell. (I didn't have any worries about a hay smell. My drying room is 15c and 60-63% RH.

12/02/2024 13/02/2024 MS is growing funny 😁 TF has exactly the same feed mls. Shes looked forever hungry 14/02/2024 Lite Defoll. Midday. TF has never looked the healthiest with the first time using HydroSol + H202 water soluble feed. I think i have the ratio/some sroted to where I've seen improvements. First improvements i have seen are: 1. NO Nutritional burn or Lockout! (non-salt based). P.s ignore the over salas 12% HP at the start (no idea what i was thinking). Sometimes being ahead; means i am a being with a head that makes human errors. Oh, the joys of plant-discovery. Sorry side tracked lol 2. Quicker Absorbing witb water soluble food. As long as she's hydrated she's eating! 3. No idea yet Have a ball!! Listening to this relaxing and i started thibking about Spirituality and how its included in all faiths. But if say "Jesus Christ is a façade and all religions are based on astrological events painted with fictional characters to repent the Christological doctrine to "date" the past. 21 Ways Archaeologists Date Ancient Artifacts are mostly flawed because they only have the "present" to date decay from. They miss the mark and the professionals deliberately push the religious artifacts to match up to the hollyword. So who's to say what "Date & Time" we are currently living in! In reality; we can only measure and date time from the the last natural apocalypses or near misses, dor we are the surviours from such events.. Look round at real history! What mordern day academics just brushed under the rug with some made up theories of what they like us to believe happened. Even they are in a Dilemmas (government's) have the knowledge of these such events. SpaceX and Nasa are all doomsday preppers! As for India going to the moon 🌙 seriously 😐 who's buying this stuff? I've let go so much that the whole world is my own intention and floods my brain with endorphins of being the observer. The reason we are all "consciousnesses" and in sudden alert of awareness of this world and being alive is because we are in the end time again! We have all woken up to everything because the omens of the apocalypse alerts and kicks in certain parts of the DNA to force memories to the soul like "hey you need to remember this and get somewhere safe" 17/02/2025 Vast improvements 18/02/2025 Defolled to make way for fast growth

Первая неделя прошла. Растения развиваются, сейчас нам важно создать отличную корневую систему для мощного и быстрого развития растения. В этот раз взял на тест новый для меня продукт - микоризу "Big Foot". ПО обычаю сделал чай, который готовился сутки. Все что нам нужно это вода, микориза, сахар и кислород. в моем случае заместо сахара я использую мелассу из свеклы Результат не должен заставить себя ждать.

Been a week and half from I started the LST training, really starting to bush out so much. Growing really very!! Had some amazing hot days. Maybe to hot for a bit. Water system working really well. 👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😀😀😀😀😀 New photo today, not sure if she's in pre flower!? Should be seeing her in three days!! Let's see how bushy she got from the super cropping and LST. I'm hoping she will climb through the middle.

This and the Z&Z will go together in the wide slab style container. First letting it grow a bit larger for a week or two before transplant. I had some awesome frost on these, so doing it again... (Added picture) Not to sure what kind of training, i think some topping or fimming will be done with some lst bending to fill the space up ViparSpectra XS series 8% DISCOUNT CODE on Amazon: XSsmokwiri US: https://amzn.to/3jNSANp CA: https://amzn.to/3ekoz6v

3 autos are getting cut this week probably the last watering today. The other 4 are a few weeks behind. The big Photos are straight monsters Ethos genetics are amazing 👏. They are in week 2 since flip. The small photos are around week 5 or 6 veg they just got put under their own light for the first time SF7000 doing 50% at about 22" just to see how they react to the new light. They were also translated and topped yesterday.

6/ 1AM MONDAY Slowing down now, they look good. 6am light watt down to about 90W. Should be good for the last week of just water 5.7. Calibrated 3 pH meters 2 yellow pretty good. More expensive Orange VIVOSUN was garbage. Only buy cheap ones 6/3 238pm I might take them all down and re-use the dirt into a 3 gallon fabric pot because I have a Fsst Buds Gorilla Cookies that looks like she could be HUGE if I move her. These seemed to have maxed out. 7z is the most beautiful, she is like a fountain of champagne!!!!!! Frost Banger is leafy, not big buds, not much smell and Purple Haze has a really heavy smell I dont want to lose. I will get a little less than an ounce from each, pretty small harvest but this is still experimenting with smaller than usual pots, MABYE 2 GALLONS IS THE SWEET SPOT, I will try on the next grow. 6/4 230AM they are slowing down now. I could go for 1 month or 2 longer but I will lose flavor if I do. so JUST WATER from now on. Then chop and use the dirt from these 3 to plant one 3 gallon Gorilla Cookies from a parallel grow in Tent 1. 4am They seem to be at peak flavor......MUST NOT KEEP GOING..... I will chop this week. I want them to dry out, then a flush of just water to rinse the soil for the next grow. Now I prep the soil for the next grow. All into a 3 gallon fabric pot with G.C. From FAST BUDS, that has the most potential harvest with 100% re-used soil. Senysem and Tasty Terps will be the final since as they replace all enzymes and growth engines for the next plant. Im doing Elon fast turnaround rocket grows!! with robot grow tents!! 6/5 5am SENSIZYM 2mL L & TASTY TERPS 0.5mL L, 6.1PH. 🚨 Tent REDESIGN..... the surge protector is a source of heat, so are the USB adapters for the fans and cameras... MAYBE ....cut opening, move ALL electrical outside and feed usb cables through the arms then seal off... Cut through the tent or sting cables up the arms and cut the ducting, probably easier to cut a port in the ducting. 10am SENSIZYM TASTY TERPS One turns debris into simple sugars and TT eats the sugars and give a big boost of resin/flavor. 2L of water 4ML S. 1ml TT......PERFECT RATIO.... Using this mix was perfect timing. S will liquify debris TT will provide the amino acid/enzymes eating part. Beautiful response.. THEN I put the new light in and at the same watt too bright for the plants in there, I experienced at 93 watts and they are stressed....better luck next time.... goddmanit 6/6/2025 1222am New light to 90 plants on Custom built risers, 48oz cottage cheese containers from Ralphs work great, and double as a cleaning bucket....geenis the smart me are 6/7 520am they have peaked in flavor and I think they’re ready to be taken down. because of the soil bugs I don’t think it’s a good idea to reuse the soil. It seems pretty contaminated which is a real bummer and I don’t have the resources to rinse the soil in hydrogen peroxide and go through all the sterilization and I could just end up getting bugs all over the place or the egg something like that it will contaminate the room. It’s the reason I do not grow food or other plants in the medical marijuana room I also use that room as a filter for the house. The 6 dust & 3 carbon filters are on all the time so I always have one room that has some very clean air. I can’t spend a lot cause it’s not good for your human body to be an sterile environment like that for too long & body heat warms the room 2 degrees 240pm Marshal, Will and Holly never came back, so im going to go ahead and eat their food. Plants are doing great. Sleestacks started showing up asking for weed for some reason. 6/8/25 9:02am BIG FINIsH!!!!!❤️❤️💥💥🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰🔔🔔🔔🔔🎉🎊🎊🚨💥🚨💥👍👍. ALL DONE I DID IT!!!! START TO FINISH, I ACTUALLY DID IT!!!! SMALL PLANTS ROCK WHEN IT COMES TO TRIMMING AND FINISHING RINSES AND STORAGE.....I FLUSHED ALL PLANTS WITH A GALLON OF PH5.9....THEN TRIMMED AND REMOVED FAN LEAVS ALL PRETTY, NOW JUST TO DRY THE PLANT ON THE VINE IN THE TENT, THEN CHOP, INTO DRYING TENT FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN INTO TERPLOC BAGS!!!!! 1130am. FROST BANGER AUTO. -- 8-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME!! VERY SHORT!!! NICE IN SMALL SPACES She is very leafy, likes bigger container than I use, she doesnt need much nutrient work bare minimum she holds lots of nutrients in her system. PURPLE HAZE AUTO 8-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME! Medium hight VERY heavy smell the heaviest smell out of this and 7Z and FROST BANGER AUTO. Chuncky build not too leafy. 7Z AUTO 9-10 OVERALL, 10-10 ON SEED TO SMOKE TIME! She was the MOST beautiful This is the one for show.....She looks like a CHAMPAGNE FOUNTAIN!!!!! I have not seen this before, massive pistil formation for the bubbles look.... I REALLY like this one, In a bigger pot topped would look just amazing!!!!! HOLY SMOLYl....I typed the review for tommorow!!!!!!! I HAVE to be awake at midnight for MONDAY HARVEST!!!!!!! I have lost about 2/3 of my body mass, not much of me left. I wont be around much longer kids. 6/10 1050pm 7Z.....just took a little from the bottom branch. PERFECT, she turned out perfect. 1130pm I can not figure out taste but it feels fresh, smooth, clean, refreshing.. Smoke is clean, ash is clean, water in the bong is not as yellow not as many left over nutrients....love it, will get more. 10 + 1 7Z just for beauty and smooth not disgusting overpowering high, just right!!!! 6/11 1230am getting more grovebags TerpLoc bags.....FROM THEIR WEBSITE...EVERYTHING ELSE IS FAKE. 143AM GC 🚨🚨 TOP REDSIGN. NODE 5 & 6 HAVE 2 EXTRA BUD SITES.... I USUALLY TOP AT 3 OR 4 AND THEN TRIM OFF NODE 1 DEPENDING ON MAIN STALK HEIGHT, EASIER TO WATER AND MAINTIAN. BUT I CUT OFF NODE 1 THRU 4 AND LEFT MAIN COLA. INVERTED TOP??? SHE IS GIVING ME IDAS.... I WILL TOP GOAT AND GROW AT NODE 5 & 6 GOAT 2 WILL BE TOPPED AT NODE 4 & 4.....🚨🚨
