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.

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

14 Jul 2021 The plant is still looking lovely, and her buds look wonderful. I’m continuing with the flush of properly pH’ed water chilled to 46.3F. My initial pH was 7.7, so I added 15 gtts (1.5ml) of pH DOWN which adjusted the pH to 6.2. I’d like it to be higher, but working with pH DOWN is so much harder than pH UP! The TDS going in was 75 ppm. Our heat wave is still going strong, and the temperature in the tent was 88F with humidity at 44%. The runoff pH was 5.3, and TDS runoff was 1897 ppm. That’s a reduction of 410 ppm from the watering on the 12th. At this rate it’ll be next week or later till I can harvest. If it does, I may end up harvesting sooner and curing longer. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll have to wait and hope I guess. 16 Jul 2021 I’m continuing with the flush today, and I’m beginning to think I should start flushing more often, yet I don’t want to damage the plant. At this stage of growth I don’t know if overwatering is as detrimental as it is to a younger, less developed plant. I want to harvest it before she gets too far along in her trichome development. She was clearly ready when I checked them on July 10th, and I don’t want her to get much farther along. Today I’m giving water at tap temps because at this point I don’t believe it matters. Everything I’m deciding to do is purely by instinct and trial and error. I feel like a researcher working on viable material that has a known outcome in general, but getting to the final stage (harvest) is detrimental in how the individual works the issues, or problems, and prepares for a desired outcome. Only each strain is different, and learning to adjust to those differences is the learning process. I never knew that growing weed could be so much fun, or as stressful! But I dig it! Today she received a gallon of water with an initial pH of 7.7. I added pH down 5 gtts (.5ml), which adjusted the pH to 6.4. TDS going in was 91 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 1407 ppm. Temperature in the tent was 84F, and humidity was 60%. There was a 390 ppm reduction from the last watering 2 days ago. At least it’s moving in the right direction. 18 Jul 2021 The flush is going well as you’ll be able to see once I post my numbers a little later in this note. Her buds are still looking awesome, and she still looks healthy for the most part. Her leaves on the fan side still look dried up on the edges, but not completely dead. Since it’s happening on both of my plants in the same location, the cause was easy to surmise as I’ve noted it before. I’ll be ready for harvest in about a week or less, and then her tent mate will be left alone for a while. Today she was given a gallon of water chilled to 57.2F with an initial pH of 8.0. I added 8 gtts (>1ml) of pH DOWN in 2 separate increments to adjust it to pH 6.7. The TDS going in was 80 ppm. The runoff pH was 6.1, and TDS runoff was 784 ppm. That’s a reduction of 623 ppm since the last flushing/watering. So I’m down into the 3 digit realm now, so hopefully it won’t be too much longer! She smells like blueberry muffins! I’m not even kidding a little. Like blueberry muffins. I’ve never seen a better named strain ever! 20 Jul 2021 Flushing continues in my grow room today. I swear this part takes so long and is so frustrating. I only have myself to blame, but all is still good. She is ready for harvest, but I still need to finish this up first. The TDS runoff shows that the level is still dropping, just not as fast as I’d like it to be. Today I chilled a gallon of water to 57.7F, then got her ready to give my baby. The initial pH was 8.1, so I added pH DOWN 10 gtts (1ml), which adjusted the pH to 6.8. The TDS going in was 74 ppm. Runoff today: pH 6.3, and TDS 658 ppm. Our heat wave is still kicking hard, so the tent temperature was 88F, and humidity was 49%. I’m still hoping to harvest in a few days to a week from now. It all just depends on the flush. I didn’t bother with any pics today. Mainly because the lights went off as I was finishing up and figured there aren’t any changes from 2 days ago to bother. However, today ends a week, so the next will be a fresh week, so I’ll take pics then.

The time is coming. Leaves are yellowing and falling down, buds stopped to grow and 50-60% of pistils became orange/brown. I already did few flushing watering. :)

Switched to flowering. She grew 10cm in 3 days... absolutely crazy. I took the tough decision to discontinue the TimeLapse. My tent is not big enough to have the camera in a place that kinda makes sense. So I'll be taking manual photos in the coming days and uploading those.

WEEK 5 8/16- Alrighty! Start of week five and all the ladies are in flower and starting to look sexy as hell! Even the Crystal Meth #2 in the SOHUM Living Soil that had a soil ph of 5.2-5.4 and 4.2 ph runoff on a 4 1/2 gallon flush of 7.7 ph water is doing well! I checked the ph on her soil this morning and she's at 6.4...PERFECT! I gave all the girls a drink of de-chlorinated water in the amount of 2 1/2g with 1 tsp CalMag+ added and ph'd to 6.9 split evenly between them. 8/17- Day 30- The girls are all really growing like crazy filling out their 10g fabric pots. I went through all of them today and, using the green horticultural wire LST'd the crap out of everyone! I know, I know....LST on Day 30??? I've LST'd this late before and had really good results so giving it a go this run. Gave all the girls a small drink as they were moist 2" down using 2 1/2g de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 75 deg. After I LST'd all the girls, I selectively tucked shade leaves and defoliated a couple here and there and also removed all the shitty little undergrowth down low on the main stalks. Can't believe the FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 came back from the edge of oblivion. I checked her medium(SOHUM Living Soil) ph which is still @ 6.4...whew! I think she's gonna do just fine, although not as good as her sister who's an obviously different phenotype. 8/18- Cranked up the HLG 650R's to max today. Now drawing 1300w at the wall-650w each and raised both lights to 42" high which is giving 800-1100 umols depending on what place on the canopy you check. 8/19- I administered the second dose of live Nematode's with the girls morning watering. I put the Nematodes in 2 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 74 deg. and split it evenly between all eight pots. I tightened up the LST on all the girls to keep spreading them out and getting better light penetration into the lower canopy. 8/20- I started a batch of Compost Tea this morning- 4 cups worm castings, 1 cup of Alfalfa Meal, 1 cup Kelp Meal, 2 tbsp Bat Guano into 4 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water with a 6.9ph in which I added 5 tbsp of unsulphured molasses as a catalyst for the microbes. I'll brew this for 48 hours. The ladies all were moist enough that I felt safe skipping the water for today, I'll give them a light watering tomorrow, then a heavy feed with the compost tea. I went through and tucked the heck out of leaves blocking bud sites from light (this is a chore as the girls are getting BUSHY as hell!) and removed a few scattered fan leaves that refused to be tucked and were really blocking light into the lower canopy....can't be having that, need the LIGHT! 8/21- Ladies were all looking very perky this morning and the FastBuds Crystal Meth and Purple Lemonade are both getting beautiful purple shades to them especially the FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate, she's absolutely on FIRE although her node spacing is very wide. The #2 Crystal Meth in SOHUM that had the ph issue with her medium seems to have recovered after I flushed the shit out of her. She's behind her sister and definitely has a different structure than the #1 phenotype. The Purple Lemonade #1 & #2 are both flowering with #2 looking way better. The #1 Purple Lemonade has some thick kushy leaves and she's a short little biatch, in contrast to the #2 which is tall and lanky with wider node spacing. The #2 Purple Lemonade is having a little issue apparently with the nitrogen level in the medium as she's getting 'claw tips' on several of her leaves and judging by her dark green coloration, she's nitrogen rich right now. I'll keep an eye on her but don't think it's a big issue at this moment in time. The Seedsman Gelato OG in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate is getting bushy and has filled out the 10 gallon fabric pot. She's got a ton of bud sites and it's a struggle training to keep all the sites exposed to light. The #2 Gelato OG in SOHUM is doing about the same as her sister but she's not quite as tall. The Seedsman Zkittles #1 slowed down on her stretch and just decided to get bushy instead! She's still in pre-flower but is very healthy and will be getting it on very soon! Her 'Sin Twisters' Zkittles #2 & #3 are beautiful and in flower. The Zkittles 'twins' were previously the shortest plants in this run but have caught up and are as tall as the Zkittles #1 @ 14". 8/22- End of Week 4! The girls got Compost Tea ( 8.1 ph, 840 ppm and 1636 EC @ 78 deg.) for breakfast this morning along with a top dress on the six ladies growing in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate / Fox Farms Happy Frog mix. The two SOHUM pots with the Seedsman Gelato OG #2 and FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 got 4 tbsp of 2-8-4 slow release dry amendments by Down To Earth top dressed and worked in by hand. I gave them each 1/2 gallon of Compost Tea after top dressing to help water in the nutrients. I went through all the girls and tucked and gently spread their branches to continue to train them as they get ready to really start flowering. The FastBuds girls are getting MORE colorful each and every day and I can't wait to open the tent each morning to see them....BEAUTIFUL!!!

15/2 So the plant it's growing much faster, i keep bend the top branch every 24H without any big sign of stress maybe also because she been trained since her first week, I've also start to bend on the side some sides branches trying to give a good canopy and space to the plant, from this week I've also start giving some green sensation from Plagron and i can already notice a good amount of pre flowers and sweet smelly tops

Don't have a lot of time these days to take pics so I'll sum things up. CO2 got outta control and the plants took tf off literally. The video is around middle of week 3, I had to flip at week 4 BC I literally ran out of room and I had to constantly defoliate.

2nd Week of Veg decided to start low stress training and see how it affects the plant opposed to waiting until it’s a little older. Giving it water only every other day when soil is dry or pot is light.

The plants stopped growing in height and are now in FULL FLOWERING mode. Every day more and more flower clusters appear and start to build colas at the sidebranches now. The trichome production is also in full swing, the plants get stickier every day and smell DELICIOUS. The Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants have a sweet sandelwood-smell like the AK-47 but also with peach undertones from the Barbara Bud in it. I LOVE THE AROMA!

Day 49 - lookin good..... been bending her, trimmin abit, messin with the water solution..... ph and ppm have been all over the place..... lol she's been transitioning from grow to flower, and once she settles into night mode, the solution and growing should stabilize...... the new fan is cool... tents working properly now, neg pressure, drawing in air behind the floor fan, blown around the bottom, and cpu extractor fan pushing the air out the top of the tent, straight into the filter..... really nice way to run a little tent, low airflow........ keeps the impurities out of the buds..... the stalks have all tuffened up since trimmin, and pretty strong now.... should hold the full weight that's about to occur all over the place...... i've simplified the nutrients, they were gettin alittle confusing, so started doin nuets differently, .... so, just making my own nuet solutions, nothing fancy just base amount of normal elements .... should be a pretty good christmas ...... Day 51 - pics/vids... 👍😎

🌈💐🍬🌈💐🍬🌈💐🍬🌈💐🍬🌈 Hi and welcome to another grow again from Kannabia this time it's a Feminized photoperiod, Candy Cream Go fast, my plan is to veg and manifold under 24hr light until my sweet "little"Runtz Auto is done. 🌈💐🍬🌈💐🍬🌈💐🍬🌈💐🍬🌈 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 ❗Events"&thoughts worth noting❗ 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 29.11.24(GW1) Prepared the substrate by washing out the old nutrients and planted the seed. 03.12.24(GW1) The little one germinated 🎉🎉🎉 04.12.24(VW1) Decided to switch to Veg out of practical reasons so I can update both diaries in one go. 10.12.24(VW1) increased TriPartMicro to 20ml and GreenBuzzBloom to 20ml. 18.12.24(VW3) Started the manifold process topped trimmed and defoliated filled the pot up to the nodes I kept for extra support and to keep things dry(📸) 22.12.24(VW3) Topped her one more time (📸) 01.01.25(VW5) broke a branch the other day, she seems unfazed. 04.01.25(VW5) increase TriPartMicro to 40ml and observe how she reacts after her next feed. 06.01.25(VW5)Did the last topping for 12 tops since one branch is "missing" 15.01.25(VW6) Had to dry her out 10-15.01.25 because of fungus gnats so she didn't grow as much as I would like but it's back to normal now and as soon as she gets some height I can place sticky traps to control the mofos. 17.01.25(VW7) Pruned the bottom nodes so I can put sticky traps and water and feed without getting future bud sites wet and moldy(took pics), increased TriPartMicro to 60ml from 40ml. 23.01.25(VW8) Seems to have lost more than a week of growth unfortunately, a whole week with out water was a bit too much apparently just to control those mofos (fungus gnats) I’m hoping this is the last week of 24 hour light schedule. 26.01.25(VW8) Increase GreenBuzzBloom to 30ml and TriPartMicro to 70ml WIP 30.01.25(VW9)This is definitely the last week with a 24 hour light schedule, just a few inches more…*maybe less than a week. 01.02.25(VW9) Did another LST session to open up the center of the plant (📸) 05.02.25(VW9) drop TriPartMicro to 50ml from 70ml, increase GreenBuzzBloom to 60ml from 30ml in preparation for the switch to 12/12 and flowering. 06.02.25(VW10) switch to 12/12 light schedule.Did also a cleanup defoliation and some pruning of excess bud sites. 11.11.25(VW10) took off all unnecessary stakes and anchors as there not needed anymore and could possibly hold her back. Took pics 📸 14.02.25(VW11) increased GreenBuzzBloom to 70ml from 60ml. 19.02.25(VW11) Flowering pretty well, did what I hope is the last cleanup and defoliation, I spread her out a bit more as well. 27.02.25(FW2) By the end of this week do another defoliation, damn she is bushy. 28.02.25(FW2) drop TriPartMicro to 40ml from 50ml, increase GreenBuzzBloom to 80ml from 70ml 01.03.25(FW2) Noticed some minimal burnt tips so I added about 4l of clean water from dehumidifier and drier to my nutrient solution. 08.03.25(FW3) Dropped TriPartMicro to 20ml from 40ml, added 20ml of TriPartBloom, dropped Calmag to 40ml from 60ml. 14.03.25(FW4) Dropped TriPartMicro to 0ml from 20ml, increased TriPartBloom to 40ml from 20ml, dropped GreenBuzzBloom to 50ml from 80ml. 20.03.25(FW4) Dropped GreenBuzzBloom to 20ml from 50ml. 29.03.2025(FW6) decreasing all the nutes by 50% including Calmag. 💭❗💭 ❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼 🌼Day to day tasks & actions🌼 🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼 27.03.25(FW5) fed with (*1) 5l 🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼 🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶 💦Nutrients in 30l(*1) 💦 🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶TriPartMicro:15ml*20ml*40ml*60ml*70ml*50ml*40ml*20ml*0ml TriPartBloom: 0ml*20ml*40ml*20ml*40ml*20ml Fermented🌿juice:0ml GreenBuzzBloom: 15ml*20ml*30ml*60ml*70ml*80ml*50ml*20ml*10ml Cal-Mag: 60ml*40ml*20ml buxXtrade citric acid Ph- 💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦🍶💦 ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️Tools & equipment ✂️ ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️➡️2xMarsHydroSP3000 ⚙️➡️MarsHydro150mmVentilatorACF ✂️➡️Trotec (big) dehumidifier ⚙️➡️Small no name dehumidifier ✂️➡️Kebab stainless skewers 3 (LST) ⚙️➡️wire+roast beefskewers(LST) ✂️➡️trimming scissors.(HST) ⚙️➡️Waterproof vacuum cleaner for ✂️spills. ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ 🍭🍦🍬🌈🍭🍦🍬🌈🍭🍦🍬🌈🍭 CandyCreamGoFastKANNABIA 🍬🌈🍭🍦🍬🌈🍭🍦🍬🌈🍭🍦🍬 Species:70%Indica+- 30%Sativa+- Indica Cream x Auto Indica Cream Flowering period: Short Yield:High Scent:Low Seed:Feminized Effect:Relaxing THC:20 % Features:For beginners, Good for extractions, Moisture resistant,Pest resistant Flavor:Sweet Complete cycle:46-49 days Indoor Average height:180cm Yield:550 gr/m2 Outdoor Average height:180cm Yield:600 gr/plant 🌈🍭🍦🍬🌈🍭🍦🍬🌈🍭🍦🍬🌈

Wait i'll show you. Pictures 2-4. I ll made some supercropping. And in every drove i made it is been a positive reaction. Nice! Have a nice time. (man i'm actually so stoned, i forgotten my chocolate right in front of me, just the smell remembered me one hour that i liked too eat chocolate.) 28.10. Late evening..: I found out that i never gave her nutrients. Just a liitle cal mag. Bio bizz all mix has enough for an autoflower. It seems. I will give her only water with biobizz top max and bloom from biobizz. Ok and just a liitle bit biobizz grow. But she is a poweplant. 31.10. Day 39 of life day 4 since preflower. 1.11. Moved into my Greenception GC4 fired Reaktor. Now she starts really. I hope. Have a nice day. 5.11. Five days under my Core.. She is powerfull. Ok this lights helps enormous. But hey, you see the progress.... Big steam 12.5mm..0.59 inch... Very ok vor 6 week(i think, but im beginner). *many branches, lets see what she says in flower... 6.11. Preflower...day 45 of life 10 days in Peflower

This week I added a 4 inch duct on the lower left side right by the fan, so it pulls in fresh air from another room. Also, I made a bunch of 1 inch holes in my buckets, then lined them up with mold resisting drywall tape and finally I wrapped the buckets in shiny hvac tape, figured it would help with the light. I have 2 temperature and humidity probes, one by the canopy and the other one lower. I must say that I was pleased with the progress so far.

Hello Diary, Purple Lemonade has finished the first week of flowering, the flowers are forming nicely all over the plant and it has been 28 days since the beginning of the vegetation. Purple Lemonade has continued its rapid growth, this week it has grown 20 cm and is now slightly taller than 50 cm. The main cola has risen more dominantly above the other branches, it is forming nicely. The leaves are a healthy dark green color and do not show any signs that the plant is missing anything. Summer temperatures are slowly falling, nothing significant but every degree of lower temperature makes me happy. This week the average was 29 degrees and rarely exceeded. The humidity in the grow box is around 50% which is ok. Watering is a little more frequent, every three days, and sometimes every other day. I still add CalMg but this week I started adding BIO-BLOOM Fertilizer. I prepare 9 liters of water, add the listed nutrients and lower the p.H. to 6.0. I water all three plants on the Farm with this amount. A few days before the end of the week, I cleaned the bottom of the plant to allow better air flow and to make it easier for me to water. I also turned up the LED lights to 80% at the beginning of the week. Here's what the past week looked like. 15/08/2024 - Day 22. Watering. The soil was very dry and the leaves were slightly drooping. I watered each plant with 3 liters of water. I put 1ml/liter CalMg and 1.5 ml/liter Bio-Bloom Fertilizer in the water. 18/08/2024 - Day 25. Watering. Again the soil is very dry and the leaves are slightly drooping. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 21/08/2024 - Day 28. Official end of the first week of flowering. After taking photos, I watered all three plants at the Farm. Purple Lemonade - Day 28. - 52 cm That's all I have for this week. See you soon and thank you all for your comments.

Woche 12: Sie Blühen schön vor sich hin, aktuell sehe ich wenig Veränderung, die Blätter haben etwas Braune spitzen bekommen, eventuell wegen der Trauermücken, die Larven gehen die Wurzeln an. Ich habe bereits Nematoden bestellt und werde diese in die Erde geben soweit diese da sind. Licht Stas: 12h: 82,3 DLI / mol/m^2/d 1.839 PPFD umol/m^2/s 53000 LUX
