Day 70 in soil 😁😁😁 I never thought I'd make it this far tbh! I stopped giving the ladies nutes and have just started feeding phed water, and they seem to have all really taken well to it, some last week showing signs of problems which I think was due to the last feed, minor flush and all seem to be okay I think. The smell now is very strong when the tents open a lovely fruity aroma, touching the buds leaves the hands covered and stinking of a fruity lemon/citrus smell (could live with the smell, unreal). The buds have all started to fatten up massively over the last 14 days, some plants producing some amazing colours, all plants have their own difference however all producing equally as good bud sits and growth. I have no past growing experience but im glad I went for dinafem critical 2.0 after some research prior they have been forgiving throughout my learning stages and have been easy maintenance so far! Will get a few close ups with the jewlers glass tomorrow, thinking off letting them run another 7 days until harvest what's everyone's opinions? Thanks for looking, have a great weekend :)!! *updated new photos today day 74 in soil*

1st week and no dramas.. topped a few that had gotten to the fifth node, will start LST in a couple of days. Need to hookup my chiller as water temps 2 degrees higher than I’d like. And I will have to build a humidifier soon too. And I also have to hookup the aircon unit in the next week or so.

03/03/25. It’s flip time! Day 1 flower let’s go This runtz definitely gotta have this name because of the candy. Nothin small about this girl. She’s a wild beast. I did use some lst clips on her to move her branches out a bit because her leaves are just huge.. and sticking all over everywhere. I didn’t keep following up with more lst clips as I’ve done with some others this grow. I kinda like her being all wild and doing what she wants. If she could talk she’d say -can’t be tamed! Okay, okay..so she’s skipping watering day today. Her soil is a bit damp still today, so I will wait until tomorrow. If we’re going based off last watering, she will be drinking a bit over a gallon, with run off. I was going to skip watering because I normally feed every other watering, but with as crazy as she’s going, and the fact that she’ll be putting in some extra work now, I’ll be feeding her again. I’ve kind of been showcasing plant #2 most recently just because I feel she is probably more standard in appearance. Plant #1 (Mellow Yellow) was born a pale color and through her life she’s always had yellow new growth, and as she pushed out more growth, the leaves would green, and the next new growth would come out yellow. It’s a crazy sight to see now that the whole top looks yellow. I initially thought something was wrong with her, or her nutrition, but she’s just always been this way, and has grown perfectly fine. I guess we will see if she seems to have any problems in flower. Should be interesting. Oh, and, her feedings/waterings are the same as her sisters. Let’s get ready to see some beautiful buds!

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

The grow was a rollercoaster of highs and lows. My Blue Dream plant developed mold in the buds, so I decided to harvest my Banana purple punch earlier to stay on the safe side. The trichomes exhibited a good balance of amber and milky colors, but unfortunately, there was no time for a proper flush period. Banana Purple Punch encountered the most challenges among the strains. It struggled with aphids, nitrogen toxicity, and thrips, which affected its overall health and bud development. This strain seemed particularly sensitive to high nutrient levels, which likely contributed to these issues. Despite these setbacks, I’m hopeful for a decent harvest. Each problem provided valuable lessons on pest management and nutrient balance, which will be beneficial for future grows. Update 09.08. Today, I brought the Banana Purple Punch into my apartment for a trim session. Since I didn’t trim her wet, this took a bit more effort compared to the Blue Dream harvest. The buds are quite airy and fluffy, but they have a fantastic aroma. The vibrant purple color of the buds is stunning, and I can't wait to give them a proper cure and eventually taste them—I’m confident they’ll be delicious. Unfortunately, I had to discard a few buds due to mold spots again. The rich purple hues of the buds make it challenging to distinguish between mold and the natural coloration, but once they're fully dry and cured, the smell should reveal any lingering issues. The dry weight was 24 gramm.

The girls have been very busy making golf balls this week! The cookies are also starting to frost up 🤗 At the beginning of the week there was not much to do, the girls had stopped stretching and were settled in. In my 2x4 tent, all I had to do was tuck fold the leaves to open up the bud sites. I basically did the same for my big tent. Simply moved some leaves from blocking sites, and plucked just a few that were rather large. They are still needing to be watered every 72 hours or so. I have been keeping to a feed, water, feed schedule now that we are into flower. I just started to notice that some of the tops are showing some nutrient burn, just a little, and not every plant. This tells me I have hit their limit with the nutrients, somewhere between 700 and 750 ppm. The last watering I did, I watered to about 10% runoff, trying to make sure that there are no salt or mineral buildup that can cause lockout or other issues. At the end of the week, day 21, I defoliated both tents, not too much, but enough to open up the bottom growth a bit. Also tidied up the lower portion below the trellis, as this just wastes energy and yield from the main colas in the long run. No real issues or problems so far, Happy Gardening Folks! 🇨🇦👊❤️😎💨

Chopped Chocolate Mint OG on day 61. It's been a pleasure to grow and looked like it was going to be my biggest yield. This was definitely the bushiest plant in the tent. She was very photogenic toward the end. The stem rubs smelled like burning tires and dill pickles, but when the buds came in they were surprisingly sweet. The smell tickles some weird nostalgia, like a candy you had growing up but can't quite remember. It's like a sweet grape tea, but with real grape instead of candy grape. It is maybe reminiscent of grandma perfume - ambiguously sweet, fruity, and floral. After the dry and trim, this came in at just over 40g. I definitely smoked a bunch before weighing, plus this plant had 2 sample cuts taken before harvest, so maybe actual weight would have been 7-14g higher than the actual result. Overall this plant was phenomenal and I would gladly run it again in the future.

Saturday 28th, 2024 April (week 4 & 30 days) The plants are getting thicker and taller, had a little mold on the bamboo skewer stick so I took all of them out. So now they’re standing tall between the garden ties. Pineapple Express (A) is winning the race for sure. I need to get a fan soon to clear out all the moisture. On Monday they’ll be a month old then it’s time for nutrients. Sour Diesel (A) 6 1/2 inches tall Dried piece on leaf 17 leaves Green leaves Think it’s behind Green stem Pineapple Express (A) 5 inches tall 22 leaves Green leaves Green stem Pineapple Chunk 4 inches tall 18 leaves Green leaves One dead leaf Green to white stem
