Almost done here! What a journey. Iโ€™m gonna flush her tonight, even if the soil is still wet. Iโ€™m sorry I donโ€™t have one extra week (2 weeks with Overdrive would be better), but the buds are big and fat now. Definitely time for a big flush. You can see trichomes maturation on the two videos I uploaded.

Welcome growers I have finished the tirth week of vegetation with this two BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE ๐Ÿฐ They are always in a growbox, 120x90 (cm) with eight other ladyes of different genetics ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ One of the two still growing more vigorous with a big leafs and strong lower branches, compared to her sister...but we will see at the end wich one will be better ๐Ÿ† Aroma and taste are my goal ๐Ÿ”ฅ Anyway.. In the firsth day of this last week I have transplanted into a 3l plastic pot.. Usually my choice of pot is the smartpot or the airpot ๐Ÿ’ฏ And therefore, considering that the soil will obviously remain less aerated than usual, I have chosen to use a greater quantity of coco coir in the substrate I roughly prepared a mix of 50% light-mix (Canna professional and Biobizz), a 30% of coco coir (Atami), 10% worm-cast or humus (Atami) and around a 5% perlite wich it's already present in the light -mix.. I have also put a few micorizzae (Micosat F), like 10 grams, in direct contact with the roots and around 4 grams of Microlife (Bionova) in pellet form I will use this last one also for making an areated Tea, but during flowering.. About nutrients ๐Ÿ‘‡ In this week i have giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. Root-juice (Biobizz) and Rizostimo (Biomagno) for the last time, plus a little bit of silicium (Bionova) and then Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) {This last two i have used in a foliar spray solution} Simply a little bit of everything at any watering ๐Ÿ’ง About the lights ๐Ÿ’ก I currently using for the first time, two Mars-Hydro SP3000, running at 25% of the power for now.. Next week im going to increase at least to 50% โฌ†๏ธ Onestly this lights looks pretty solid, definetly intense, with a spectrum really close ro the sun light One of the cool things about it it's that you can connected each one toghter with a cable and so you can controll the intensity of the lights very easy, in a precis way ๐Ÿ‘Œ We will see in this months how they works And that's all.. See you at the end of week nยฐ4 ๐Ÿ“† Thanks a lot for reading, I hope you enjoyed ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘ FC โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Everything is going great Royal Gorilla is the farthest along . It is very compact and starting to get a little frosty. Green Gelato is the second farthest along. Doing well. It is very spaced out LSD is coming along. I think because it has probably double the branches, it is taking longer to develop HulkBerry was put into 12/12 4 days later but is looking good. Plant structure is very similar to the Green Gelato

Another Veg week down and heading into flowering... 'Good Girl' is looking great. She has good color and pre-flower development so I'm really happy with where she's at since she's basically on par with the Euphoria as far as size and shape. 'Problem Child' however is... Well you guessed it, having problems๐Ÿ˜œ I made a short video this week to show you what's going on. If anyone has any recommendations that would be appreciated, otherwise I'll give her more dolomite lime and some trace minerals to see what that does, since she seemed to respond well to the Lime before. I would just like to get her sorted since this is a crucial time. It's very frustrating since both of these plants are the same strain raised in the same soil given the same nutrients and the same environmental conditions and the difference between them๐Ÿ˜ฉ I think more than one factor may be causing the problem. She did get a little heat stressed early on just like Euphoria, but unlike Euphoria she never quite fully recovered from it. Some might argue that it's nute burn but I don't think so given her chlorosis. I think it's likely a nute ratio that's off, and after doing a little research it may very well be a Potassium Deficiency. Therefore adding kelp meal would be a good bet and I was already planning on starting to add in molasses now that we're switching over to flower. I just hope I can get her figured out and into a decent groove so that she'll produce some nice flowers๐Ÿ™

Happy day to all of you, Weed friends. And welcome to a new week in the Gardens of Queen Peaky. We have begun to insert a little bit of "Calmag" to support the fertilision program because there are some signs to keep in observation that the year begun to launch alarms, the strange thing is that only the two behind are suffering this unpleasant inconvenience Bother The beautiful thing is that the bulbs are already beginning to have purple nuances : )

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Timesโ€™ Cannabis Cup and for good reason โ€“ with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65ยฐc Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

Start of week 8. Week 7 went very well, the buds really filled in and packed on weight. This Glueberry OG girl is sticky like glue or the yellow sticky traps and the red hairs are starting to show.

AUGUST 16 to AUGUST 22, 2025 Insofar as fertigation, this week each specimen was provided a Top Dress of Dry Organic Amendments as described in the Nutrients section of this diary post. The top dress was watered in with a Liquid Amended Soil Drench with the following ingredients and measures (mL/L): Bloom Liquid Plant Food (1-3-3) - 5.0mL/L of plain rainwater Yucca Schidigera Liquid Extract - 0.25mL/L Monosilic Acid - 0.5mL/L Activated Beneficial Microbes - 5.0mL/L - All products from Optimize Organics (https://www.optimizeorganics.ca/) Both Lemon Orange specimens are growing with vigour, and well into the transition to bloom. Pairs of pistils are evident in several locations on each plant. Sunlight hours have dropped to under 14 hours (Sunrise 07:00, sunset 20:58). I am considering this Week 1 of flower. Considerable height gain over the week, with a noticeable increase in inter-nodal spacing, particularly on Lemon Orange #2. Lemon Orange #1 is the shorter of the two phenotypes, slower growing, and not taking in near as much water/nutrient (did not need to be watered this week). Lemon Orange #1 has an average height across its 8 main growing shoots of 51cm, while Lemon Orange #2 is is near 68cm. Neither specimen is overly smelly on their own, but when rubbed up against or manipulated the scent of citrus with an earthy after-tone is present. Fungus gnats have found a home in the garden, and for now I've deployed yellow sticky traps to control the adults. More aggressive treatments of other parts of the lifecycle will likely be needed, and I am considering acquiring nematodes to add to my living soil. DAY 99 - Top Dressed with dry organic amendments (Bloom mix); Watered in with Bloom Soil Drench Formula; Went fishing for a couple of days. DAY 100 - n/a DAY 101 - n/a DAY 102 - 1L drip of plain rainwater at 08:30 via automated irrigation system; Returned from fishing trip in early afternoon (14:00), plants looked good, if not a bit uneven as a result of not being turned 1/4 clockwise over the past 3 days. DAY 103 - Witnessed droop under full sun in early afternoon, across all specimens on the back bench (Blue Dynamite #2. Lemon Orange #2, Blue Dynamite #1). Drip watered 1.5L of plain rainwater to that bench of plants only, as the front bench with the small plants (Lemon Orange #1 and Purple Romulan) seemed as though the substrate was sufficiently moist. DAY 104 - Prepared Compost Tea for application on Day 106, set to aerate for 36 hours. DAY 105 - n/a

This one was less affected by the mistake with measuring the IPM product. Oh well lesson learned. I'm liking the vigor on this girl she is growing huge fan leaves. This cultivar is just so easy to bend and FIM it just takes it in stride. I can wait to do some more work with her in the coming weeks, after the pot patch girls are out of the way for the season.

3/23: I let them go totally dry this time and fed them with about 3/4 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet * sticky, cal-mag, armor si, cha ching, tiger bloom, big bloom, and humic acid. This was probably the last time the shorter one gets any nutes. She's getting closer now ๐Ÿ˜ฏ 3/27: I gave them both 3/4 gallon with signal, sweet & sticky, terpinator, cal-mag, and a litt bit of cha ching. This will be the last nutes for the shorter one, but the taller one seems weeks from finished still.
