This beauty is starting to finish up. Yellowing up and fattening up nicely. I’m still having powdery mildew pop up but nothing too crazy. It’s not getting in the buds. She has been turning a touch purple with all the cold nights in my neck of the woods. I will likely take this girls down in a week as the forecast is nothing but rain so mildew could become an issue with too much humidity and the cold nights. I want to try these genetics indoor as PM won’t be an issue I’m my tent. 😎🍿

Flipped to 12-12 at just under 7 week mark as I ran out of canopy space. Plants are growing beautifully no issues thus far. Began using compost tea as well as a mostly clover based cover crop. Rotating plants daily to get even growth of tops that might be crowded.

One or two more days and she’s getting chopped smells unbelievable

Semana 14 desde semilla. La planta sigue creciendo lustrosa y engordando las colas, a pesar de alguna incidencia. - A mitad de semana comencé a notar pequeñas quemaduras en la punta de las hojas más grandes, hice un riego con agua pura y medí la concentración de PPM en el agua escurrida en el plato. La medida me dió cifras locas de hasta PPM: 7500, es una medida altísima para mis propósitos, pero tampoco se puede comparar con altas concentraciones PPM surgidas de riegos con fertilizantes químicos, donde esas medidas hubieran matado irremediablemente el cultivo. Los motivos de estas altas concentraciones de minerales y nutrientes en el sustrato son por causa de un exceso de aporte de nutrientes líquidos, sin dar descanso y oportunidad al cultivo de ir digiriendo los nutrientes que le aplico, - Dos días después de la detección del desequilibro en el sustrato, puse 3L de agua de lluvia (EC: 0,036) y bajo el nivel de PPM hasta 1500. Como se demuestra un lavado de raíces en un sustrato puramente orgánico es mucho más fácil por la poca agua necesaria, ya que el arrastre o disolución de componentes sobrantes es mucho más directa y no necesita tanta agua como para disolver las sales acumuladas de fertilizaciones químicas. Cuando se hace un lavado de raíces como el anterior, se debe de tener en cuenta que, el elemento que más rápidamente se pierde por el lixiviado es el Nitrógeno, en base a esto observar las señales de falta de nitrógeno y corregir en posteriores riegos. • En base a lo anterior, partir de esta semana comienzo a aplicar otra estrategia para el riego con nutrientes, el cambio lo voy a hacer en todos los cultivos y se trata de esperar al menos 72h desde el último aporte de nutrientes (Sólidos o líquidos) para aplicar nuevos, mientras tanto, si la planta necesita riego, lo haré sólo con agua para de esta manera dar tiempo a la planta a digerir todos los nutrientes convenientemente, voy a bajar también el nivel de EC en todos los riegos durante todo el cultivo, además voy a hacer formulaciones nutricionales más simples y específicas, excepto componentes que sistemáticamente incluyo en todos los riegos como el Ormus, la melaza o la miel, con este cambio de estrategia estaré muy atento a las señales de la planta, el motivo del cambio es primero para reforzar mi autocontrol frente a mi afición a sobrealimentar las plantas debido a mi colección de preparados 😋, aunque no es fácil bloquear dramáticamente una planta cultivada con puros elementos orgánicos, estoy observando un exagerado EC en el agua sobrante de las macetas, esto me indica que los MM están haciendo muy bien su trabajo de disolver los componentes del sustrato, componentes que al añadirlos en demasía enriquecen sin medida el sustrato haciéndolo demasiado denso, perjudicando su eficacia. 😕 DIETA SEMANAL 1) Día 99. Ormus 2%, Bio frutas NP 2%, Lacto fermento MMM 1%, Hidrolizado de Pezuña 0,25% y Melaza. PH: 6.33 EC: 2.0 - 900ml. 2) Día 100. Ormus 1,5%, Humato PK 1,5% y Melaza.

(Recojo 1,8 litros de lixiviado que uso diluido para regar mis geranios y otras flores) 😂 GROWING TIPS Lacto fermento experimental con auxinas y enriquecido con minerales y nutrientes NP, para usar desde germinación hasta preflora. Debido a que disponía de 1,2 litros de auxinas líquidas y estaban a poco de caducar he comenzado este bio fertilizante con la intención de mantener una solución de riego rico en auxinas naturales y otros elementos específicos para enraizado y crecimiento vegetativo. 1) Obtención del suero de leche con leche fresca o pasteurizada. a) Calentar la leche entre 70°C a 90°C b) Apagar el fuego y añadir el zumo de 1 limón grande. c) Revolver con madera hasta que se vea la leche cortada. d) Dejar enfriar 30 minutos. e) Colar y filtrar para separar el suero de la materia sólida. f) De 1,5l de leche pasteurizada he sacado 1,2l. de suero. 2) Mezclar el suero con melaza y miel 3) Pesar los componentes sólidos y añadirlos al recipiente digestor. Añado zanahoria picada para garantizar la presencia de Boro. 4) Añadir al suero, Bacterias ácido lácticas (BAL), levadura de pan y Ormus. 5) Añadir la mezcla al barril. 6) Agitar vigorosamente. 7) Añado el agua de auxinas.* 8) Cierro herméticamente el recipiente y coloco la válvula de escape de gases. 9) Lo dejo fermentar al menos por 30 días. Cuanto más tiempo se mantenga en fermentación mejor es el resultado del lacto fermento, como el vino!! * Para todos mis fermentados y bioles uso agua de un manantial de montaña cercano, este agua es muy alcalina PH: 9.2 y contiene mucho mineral: EC: 0.85, la uso para compensar la acidez de los fermentados y garantizar un aporte seguro de carbonato cálcico y trazas minerales. El preparado comenzó a fermentar a los 20 minutos de cerrar el barril. Probaré este lacto fermento incluyéndolo en mis procesos de germinación y crecimiento. Saludos y hasta la próxima semana!! 😷

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. After this week end, we will cut the first Tropicanna XL plant:D Middle this week we changed the reservoir water for a fresh solution. This plant will not get a flush before harvest, it's the first time i'm not flushing a plant for the cut but you know only two of the four girls are ready to chop and it's not possible in my RDWC to seperate feed them. So yes it's kind of an experiment for me. Something's not right with my fresh solution or the plants get root rot or something but the girls starting to show K deficiency...good that the plants are on the finish line :) The SE7000 runs at 540 Watt and about 33cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweter Seeds for the gift of genetics, this cultivar really rocks 💪☘️💚 https://sweetseeds.es/en I also want to thank Jungle Indabox nutrients for supplying me with their excellent nutrients line: https://www.jungleindabox.cz/en or https://numazon.cz/homepage/ That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

09/01/2020 Start of week #6 flowering might give a booster shot of OVERDRIVE (I believe it is omri approved). For any last bit of flowering I can coax out of her. PW is spotty at best, and conditions should help prevent spreading. She should be done in 3-4weeks🙏

I'm guessing there's about 3 more weeks of flowering left for this big girl. She's actually got a much denser growth of fan leaves than any of the indicas sharing the patio and I need to spend some more time pruning as we get closer to harvest. Just snuk my first taste of the little girl which has been curing for a couple weeks now and she's pretty tasty already. Weather has taken a hot streak of sorts. Forecasters are consistently off by about 10 degrees low recently. They forecast mid 80s and we get mid 90s. Gotta keep the girls hydrated this late in the game. August 27 -> added a video (actually shot more than a week ago) which I have Not managed to completely mangle yet. One of those retirement thangs... now that I have time to screw with stuff I never had time to mess with before ... I'm slow but learning. I doubled the video I originally shot because I couldn't bring myself to chop the audio because I just LOVE this audio (just yet anyway until I learn to fade something in iMovie). I collect live recordings (deadhead) as a hobby .... kinda like growing herb. The audio is Ziggy Marley from Bridgeport, CT on August 3, 2014. Enjoy! When I get smart enuf to add captions/text whatever to the video it will note that the Amnesia big girl is in back - Cream & Cheese CBD is on the right - Northern Light is on the left - and Purple Berry Kush is the little girl middle front (she's much bigger now) 😉 August 28 -> Fixed video (I hope) which should cut size in half and add captions.

KKKK omg 986 g wet with branches, and trimmed only the parts that were very dry. The smell is moderately strong, very sweet and pleasant. I believe that once dried, trimmed, and cured it will yield around 160-200 g. For the flush I did the following: I used 15 L of water with Flawless Finish and left it for 12 hours. After that, I rinsed with 5-liter increments until the runoff PPM was below 250, which took 100 L of water. I let it dry for 72 hours and harvested today. ________________________________________________________ 15 days later.... 170g weight dry sweet+coffee smells 8/10 low high

Esa familia, cómo estáis, yo bastante fumado, pero aquí ando trabajando en los diarios, os dejo por aquí actualizada la semana de las crazy cookies, toy algo descontento con los tiempos de floración en esta variedad pero en si lo demás bastante bien, es un gen bastante sativa a mi parecer por la forma de sus hojas y la estructura del ejemplar. El ejemplar más grande partió el central y tutore de nuevo con 2 tutores más en total tiene e tutores 🤦‍♂️ Ph 6,5 humedad 30/35% temperatura por debajo de 27,5. Seguiremos abonando alguna semana más que terminen de florecer bien. prepararemos un proyecto de exterior con autoflorecientes, mientras desmanteló todos los ejemplares , un saludo fumetillas.

1/16 it didn’t save the last thing I said on here it’s Tuesday and I just cut off a NUG and she is so good. I don’t need to dry her there’s not a lot of moisture this plant feels more like a crisp salad than anything else it’s just great I can’t even describe it but the smell and taste of the plant is the best and it doesn’t need to be dried. It just is perfect cut it smoke it and I love it it’s the best experience 1/17 👍 1/19 1/20

Harvest 2 of 3 plants and everything was very good. I will updated soon with pics of the 3rd I harvest later than the two. Thanks to Barney’s Farm and Advanced Nutirents, to the love of the plant first of all and to all growers here and in the world. 🙏🏻💚 Updated: harvest all 3 plants for 100g/plant 💪🏻

Bonjour les amis. Après 10 jours d'absence, bonne surprise! Les fleurs ont pris du volume et l'odeur est plus forte et sucrée. Le stretch est bien terminé. J'ai arrêté les engrais, la led est toujours à 80%, dli ~35-40. Je vais libérer les 2 grandes de la lst dans la semaine qui arrive. La plus petite plante ne mesure que 16cm mais les têtes paraissent déjà plus chargée de résine. Je pense qu'elle sera prête avant les 2 autres. C'est la dernière ligne droite qui exige le plus de patience. À bientôt, profitez bien, M.

Ya estamos casi listos para cosechar. Estamos regando con agua y solo lo estrictamente necesario para mantener hidratadas nuestras plantas. Tambien hemos reducido al 50% la potencia de nuestras luminarias LazerLite Pro 720w.

Heeeey all! Sorry for the extremely slow update! The past few weeks have been crazy for me! 😱 This week I made a lot of defoliation and decided to be somewhat greedy. I'll let the plants grow a bit more so they'll stretch well during flower! So while I defoliate I'll allow the plants to recover properly! 💪 Near the end of the week I also made another mistake with Roko (poor baby! 😭). I broke another of the stems (the one that divided the plant in two, right in the middle) and I feared the worst! But so far the plant kept growing without any problems. I'm still thinking a name for my 4th baby, she has surprised me greatly and I didn't notice how many new branches had grown until I defoliated her and I'm sure she'll deliver some great buds! 😍 Anyway everyone, this is all for now. Thanks for reading this journal and soon I'll update the next week! 😃

5 day since switching to 12/12 did a bit of defoliation tonight .both plants are already feeling quite sticky and there is not a pistol insight yet. The cyco additives definitely make a huge difference to the nuggets at the end
