Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

Thank you to everyone for following this journey! The results were nuts. Honestly, I would've been happy with 40g dry as this is my first grow. I DEFINITELY did not expect this outcome which is insane. This gives me so much confidence in my future grows and appreciation for the companies whose products I used. So, now to the point - Dry weight - Top class buds - 176g, smaller buds - 32g, larf/leaves/scissor hash - 26g. To sum up - 208g of product you can smoke and 26g that'll go to edibles. First grow, 2x2 tent, 100w light, three-part fertilizer and cal mag - that's insane, especially because I was expecting nothing more than 60g and like I mentioned, I would've been happy with 40g. I even thought my scale was broken or something went wrong, I still can't believe I pulled 208g of bud. It took 117 days from seed to smoke - that's disregarding the cure. Seed to flower in 42 days. Flower to harvest in 61 days. 14 days drying. Thank you to FastBuds, I've sent them an email about the grow with some questions and got a speedy reply with some pointers towards the end of the flower. Also, I don't have anything to compare this grow with but I had 0 issues with pests which I was really happy about. I didn't have to spray anything on the plants, didn't have a single bug inside the tent. They mention on the website that NL is a very resilient strain so that might've been because of this specific strain. Spiderfarmer light did amazing too - 208g of bud from 100w light!. General Hydroponics did way better than I expected - there's so many companies with multiple bottles of nutrients that expect you to spend ridiculous amounts of money on their products while I got crazy results with just 3 basic bottles. Cal and Mag by Canna worked with no complaints. Takeaways - seems like the runoff pH doesn't matter in coco - I could be wrong but I struggled with coco pH from the very beginning. Regardless, the outcome speaks for itself. Maybe the harvest would've been even better with an optimal pH but in this particular grow, I don't think it mattered much. Before starting this grow I've done A LOT of research and it looks like it most definitely paid off! I was panicking at first because of the slow growth. The plant also had some leaf deformities and the color wasn't as green as I've expected it to be. It was stressful at first, I think especially because I was constantly comparing my grow to someone else's. This specific LST method where I kept rotating the main stem clockwise every day or two paid off as well. The canopy was relatively even and new tops grew crazy fast. The only thing left to do is to cure the bud. I had two 1.5L containers ready for cure/storing since I didn't expect to pull much but had to go acquire a few more "big boys" to fit all the product in, which is a good problem to have. I don't think that I'll be updating the cure here but the plan is to burp 2x/day for 15-30min each time for the first week and 1x/day for 15-30min the second week. After the first couple of weeks I won't be timing the burps. As of now, I've placed boveda 62% packs inside the containers to maintain a RH of at least 58% in the jars. About the Northern Lights strain - the smell hasn't fully returned yet post trim, but it smells like sweet fruits with a hint of black pepper. You can still smell a bit of pine/grass but I think that'll be gone after the cure. Buds are covered with trichomes, they shine like diamonds when you take a better look. Also, the buds look a little airy but are still really dense when pressed. The smoke - It's a tasty, relaxing high. I get why people describe it as night time smoke but for me personally, it grounds me a bit and I can enjoy it anytime. Also, it burns white ash :)) P.S. This is a lengthy diary but I hope that people can learn some stuff from my notes shall they read them! Thanks to everyone that followed the journey, showed support or just browsed through. Happy Growing everyone!

Some defoliation & nutrient solution change Really liking the bushiness of these plants. Probably have to flower an extra week to account for some of the stress right around the switch to flower 🤷‍♂️🏽 Seems a little behind for end week 4 imo🤔 What do you think?🌿

Ich habe die Erde von meinem Outdoor Grow wieder verwendet: Das war in einem 12l Stofftopf als Basiserde BioBizz Light-Mix mit Bio Tabs 50g Startrex und 5g Mycotrex wie in der Anleitung angegeben. Dann habe ich zwei neue Langzeitdünger Tabletten ca. 10cm tief in die Erde eingebracht. Anschließend mit 1g/l Bactrex und 10ml/l Orgatrex in 1l Wasser aufgelöst und gegossen. Lampe zunächst auf 30cm Abstand zur Erde. Nachdem der Sämling etwas gespargelt hat, habe ich die Lampe auf 15cm gehängt. Die beiden Umluftventilatoren laufen meistens 10h pro Tag, da sie mir aktuell im Home-Office noch zu laut sind. Die Lampe ist auf 40% gedimmt. Die Abluft ist noch aus. Temperatur liegt bei 24 Cº, bei 60-80% Luftfeuchtigkeit. Details: 15.10.24: Samen in Wasserglas 21.10.24: Samen ist gekeimt, direkt in großen 12 l Topf mit BioTabs Erde vom Outdoor Grow, 12l Stofftopf auf Fensterbank 22.10.24: Topf ins Zelt gestellt 23.10.24: 2xBioTabs Langzeitdünner in Erde gedrückt. Mit 1l Wasser gemischt mit 1g Bactrex + 10ml Orgatrex gegossen 24.10.24: Geschlüpft 25.10.24: 09:30: Scheint etwas zu spargeln, Lampe von 30 auf 15 cm geändert. / 17:00 Höhe Stamm: 30 mm 27.10.24: 09:30: Höhe Stamm: 35 mm / Abstand Lampen zu Blattspitze: 10 cm Habe mich gefragt, ob der Abstand der Lampe nicht zu gering ist. In https://www.weed.de/wissen/anbau/hanf-wachstumsphasen steht folgendes zur Sämlingsphase. ✅ Lichtquelle positionieren: Positioniere die Lichtquelle etwa 5-10 cm über den Pflanzen, um das Wachstum zu fördern und ein Ausdünnen (Stretching) der Sämlinge zu vermeiden. ✅ Luftzirkulation: Eine leichte Brise, erzeugt durch einen Ventilator, stärkt die Stängel und verhindert Schimmelbildung. Stelle sicher, dass die Luftzirkulation sanft ist, um die zarten Sämlinge nicht zu beschädigen. ✅ Eintopfen: Wenn die Wurzeln der Sämlinge das Anzuchtmedium durchdringen, ist es Zeit, sie in größere Töpfe umzupflanzen. Verwende ein gut durchlüftetes, nährstoffreiches Medium und sei vorsichtig, um die empfindlichen Wurzeln nicht zu beschädigen.

great, everything is going really smoothly, @Zamnesia Runtz auto, copes perfectly with leaf spot and LST, started to bloom, so I think it will soon stop growing upwards, and I won't have to hurt it anymore :) @Plagron This is the first time I've used nutritional fertilizers, but I already understand that it definitely won't be the last :) good luck to everyone :).

Flowering day 58 since the time was changed to 12/12 h. Hey everyone 😁. We have reached the end of bloom 👍. The trichomes are now 80% milky and 20% amber ☺️. I have again today freshly made all the water and added canna flush. Now the last few stoves in the vicinity will be used for the next few days The day after tomorrow I will turn off the lights so that the plants get 48 hours of darkness before trimming begins 👍. I turned the watering cycle down so that you only get 2 minutes of water every 5 hours :-). I'm so happy to be trimming this Pehno again 😍. He is and remains one of my favorites 👍. As always, there will be an interim update of the harvest Ernte before the last update. Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with this update.

So as you can see I now have four flowering which I guess were the autos and I have one gelato that is still vegging and is doing damn good. There are two that have lighter color leaves, I’m trying to focus on on these and see if I can get better production. As for the tall GG in the back, leaves are waxy and have resin production starting. A lot better, overall I’m learning more and more every week! Hope everyone is enjoying my grow and stick around, ask questions. Happy New Year!

Vamos actualizar la primera semana de floración de estas Biscotti de RoyalQueenSeeds. Primera semana a 12/12 en un SOG, se ven con un buen color y avanzan progresivamente. La humedad es perfecta, la temperatura me gustaría tenerla par de grados más abajo pero aún así es pasable. Aplico el flash root de Agrobeta y Blue line B de Agrobeta. Esta semana añadí tucán, gold joker, silver y génesis también de Agrobeta. Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, veremos como progresan pronto. Buenos humos 💨💨💨
