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.

So it is still not over and we are going for an overtime for a good narcotic potency with approx. 10% amber trichomes. I have now, for the last and final highstress push for harvest, 3 hrs of 1000ppfd at the crowns and UV- addlights. This should immeadiatly start the oxidation of trichomes in a sprint distance of time. Additionally I also pushed with drybacks of 48hrs and then refill the trays for another 48hrs drayback until we switch of the lights for 48hrs of darkness, just for maximizing and saving terpenes and skunk- funk smelling. Meanwhile I have completed the first Runtz x Layer Cake harvest cuts in the drying growtent, it has been packed into terpeneloc bags and I will update the harvest soon. In the short clip you could see the first cuts of the already harvested crowns. Not the best cuts 😇😎

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!

Starting week 11 the heat wave is gone and the conditions lately have been perfect! The bud are forming nicely and the smel is strong but my diy carbon filter does a great job! Sticking with the same nutes and ph around 5.8. One of the two is slower than the other but comming along just fine

Всем привет 🤙✌️. 6 неделя цветения закончилась. Растения уже начинают желтеть из за минимального содержания хлорофилла, с 3 недели цветения после 21 дня я прекратил поливать азотом, хочу провести для себя эксперимент и проверить как влияет хлорофил на вкус. У меня остался последний полив удобрениями, дальше я начну промывать горшки чистой водой и готовить растения к харвест. Подписывайтесь на мои обновления 🔥🔥🔥 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ребята предлагаю всем желающим подписаться на мои социальные сети где я делаю еще больше контента о каннабисе.

Another good week!! I defoliated the smaller of the 2 plants mid-week... I think she is doing very fine. A small hiccup with the feed that same night. Only a few leaves are showing any sign on nutrient burn. I went ahead and fed them again today. I plan on watering them in a day or two... they were very thirsty this afternoon!! So, I definitely need to up the watering. I've still been feeding 3 quarts twice a week. Otherwise, all seems to be going well!! They are frosting up very nicely!! So exciting!! Peace!! Update for grow question: @The8thChevron thanks!!! I pulled them and will hope for the best for now. So close to the finish line. If I see more trouble brewing I will pull the plant. I don't know how to answer directly to you on the grow question.... Thanks again!!

Good day everyone, 3 days ago I harvested the Pineapple express. I can say only one - this was VERY fast grow. The fastest one I had ever. So I know why - Fast buds genetic DWC simple system I can not say anything about the strain yet, but the aroma is amazingly sweet and fruity. The buds are fully covered with the white crystals. I will update the DRY bud weight within 1 week the smoke report. Good luck

The girls look to be finishing the vegetative growth phase this week and are starting to switch full steam ahead into flower production ☺️☺️ Trichomes are also starting to form now and the smell is getting slightly stronger each day. Not much to be done this week just some defoliation and training to help open up the canopy’s. Peace ✌️

06.06.23 Tag 44 Pflanze konzentriert sich nun auf die Blüte. Nun heißt es einfach gießen und warten. :) - Trichome überall auch auf Fächerblättern und sogar dem Stengel. Die Finger kleben sofort beim LST UND WIE GEIL DIE DAME EINFACH RIECHT ich kann es kaum beschreiben - irgendwie bildet die Dame nur Blätter mit 3 Fingern, ganz, ganz wenige mit 5

They are developing well and the smelling started to be a bit strong with gas terpenes from both strains. I'll keep following the EC and their development to ensure they won't have any blocker. Day 42 - 15/05/2025 🌞 ~900ppfd ⏫🌡️~28°C 💧~49% 📏 40cm distância 3 day later the soil got dry, what it seems the watering cadence based on the pot size. They are going very well. After talk with some friends and reviewing the plant status, I decided to keep follow the nutrient schedule and keep looking at them. Mango Cream and Strawberry Cola 1 stopped stretching and should started the bulking phase, that's why the smelling is so strong. On Strawberry Cola 1, I just remove some leafs that were covering the other branches. I, literally, removed 5 leafs. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.8 PH 6.0 On Mango Cream, I did some defoliation removing the big leafs on the bottom, that was nothing receiving light and probably consuming plant's energy. Then, they can concentrate on the top canopy. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 6.1 PH 6.0 As Strawberry Cola 2 is one week later than the others. So, it seems going to finish the stretching bloom phase. As Mango Cream, I did some defoliation removing the big leafs on the bottom, also some ones in the middle, that wasn't receiving light and ambushing the middle overlapping the middle nodes. Then, they can concentrate on the top canopy. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.9 PH 6.0 The defoliation on them also was done to improve the air circulation because my tent increased 1,5-2,0C. degrees with the season changing. Hopefully it can help to reduce a bit. As the previous EC on them were between 5.1 and 6.1, it means that they are ok, consuming the nutrients and not blocked by high EC. Happy news!! Day 45 - 18/05/2025 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~26°C 💧~49% 📏 ⏫45cm distância 3 day later the soil got dry and they are going very well. I'm keeping the strategy this week in order to levelling the EC on them. Seen they sucked a bit their development and some burns started to show on the leaf points, I decided to flush them a bit to correct the EC and continue the nutrients schedule correct. I flushed them with 6L of RO water with PH corrected, each one. They reduced the EC to 2.0~3.4 and I added another schedule nutrients solution. All water schedule below is after the flush. Mango Cream I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK. PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.3 Strawberry Cola 1 I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 4.9 Strawberry Cola 2 I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 4.5 I also did some defoliation on Strawberry Cola 2 to improve that light penetration and air circulation. Day 48 - 21/05/2025 They definitely are in the bulk phase. The smell is crazy. My flush strategy was successful and they are eating like a monster now and without any bad signals. Happy with the correction results. I also increased the watering volume. Mango Cream I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.8 Strawberry Cola 1 I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.7 Strawberry Cola 2 I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.8 I did a slightly defoliation on the bottom leafs to improve air circulation. This week is working in progress and should be update asap due the plants development. Cheers!🍁🔥
