Hello friends and welcome to my first report and my very first grow! šŸ Please follow me so you don’t miss any of my other grows. Thanks buddy! šŸ™šŸ¼ And also don’t miss my introducing to see more information about me and my entire collected knowledge! (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/209900-the-best-grow-journal-by-rick-and-growty) ________________________________________ My weeks always start on a Sunday. So today I define 19.05.2024 as the first day of the 3rd week. Because I got the plants as cuttings and they already had a certain size, I can’t determine an exact age at the beginning, unlike when growing them from seeds. ________________________________________ 19.05.2024 Today is the first day of the 3rd week so I decided to plant the girls in their final 18l pots and gave them 2l water with 0.25g/l of BioEnhancer and also a pinch of Great White Premium Mycorrhizae - [to get] ā€œKiller Roots for Killer Plantsā€ 🦈 I will give them 2 days to recover before adding the BioGrow growth fertilizer with a concentration of 3g/l pot volume.

All is well so far, starting late on day 4 of flower. I did a 21 day Veg from clone in a diy res. I ran the Roswell already from seed in coco so moms of this is in the Veg space and I’ll take a cut of the Cherry in a few days because I got this cut from the growmie so I need a mom!

Day 151. Girl is harvested, sticky, stinky, oily, a bit too leafy and kind of light, cant see even 100 of her .. ( 8.5 is already choped, the brushed by wall branch ). She stinks like skunk with some aftertaste ( tried scissors hash already). Now it looks like she had to go couple weeks more, trich mostly milky and leaves after darkness are green, looks like she was beging me to leave her and put makeup to look younger ;))))) We shall see .. Day 157. Boy oh boy ... how i love to be wrong ...;)))) Girl is a record braker. 141 from one plant, my new pure indoors record. Long journey , desent result, she could make in 6 weeks earlier, but she had a crazy life, lets hope it will be crazy smoke ;))) Report to come ....

Bud wet weight : 168,1g of trimmed medium to big sized buds 25,4g of tiny tiny buds/larfs = 193.5 grams of trimmed wet buds. Details on genetics and smoke report above. This, as my first grow, is way more than I ever expected it to be. I haven“t had that much fun and enthusiasm in a very very long time. I can“t even explain the feeling it is to harvest your own cannabis, but I know most of you know what I“m talking about haha. It was really nice to practice LST, even tho it was SO HARD, “cause I didn“t had barely any space to work since I used a hard pot and did not fill nearly half the size of it and the walls of the pot were really high. It was even difficult to water without dropping water on the lower buds. I haven“t learnt much about defoliation tho, I feel I need to study a little more about the phases you should or should not do it. Also, I discovered thrips are a pain in the ass. I had 2 tough weeks dealing with thrips, but in the end it was alright. I don“t have any humidity control device, which I intend to buy for the next grows. Growdiaries was really helpful for me, it kept me motivated everyday (not that I wouldn“t have had it anyways), the Grow Questions are REALLY useful and all the community is awesome. Thanks to all people that helped me here on GD during this first grow! To conclude it: I am really happy and satisfied with how the grow turned out. They look incredible, it almost feels like I can“t believe it still. Peace. UPDATES: 07/10 : The buds are now dry and already in curing jars, one of them with a Boveda 58% humidity pack. The total grams of the dry buds are: 41.4g (medium to big sized buds) 4.1g (tiny buds) = 45.5 grams! I“m really happy with the results, I thought it would be around 30g so yeah, that“s a really good surprise! In 2 weeks I“ll be back to update the smoke report. Thanks so much for reading! Peace. 09/10 : I managed to fit everything in the same container with some space between them, so now every bud is with the Boveda pack. 14/10: It“s been a week and the smell improved, it still smells a little like hay/plant ( even tho it“s not too dry neither too wet ). 21/10: Now it“s been two weeks and even tho the smell isn“t anymore hay, it“s a lot herbal. I really think the aroma can get better, but the taste is already good enough for me. The smoke report has been done and in case I have something to add, I“ll report here. Thank you so much for reading! Peace.

This is a seriously hard plant to take photos of, it's so big and lanky. She's on about a 20 degree angle at this point too, she's very top heavy 🤣 Very impressed with this girl. I almost tossed her out as a seedling due to her mutation; I've included a seedling photo to show the reader how far this plant has come. She has produced very dense and sticky buds with extremely strong aromas. She smells like candy and gas, just like a zkittles female would smell late in flower. It's been an easy grow. I'm expecting about 4 oz of high quality flower after dry and cure stages. I intend to press at least half of my yield with my rosin press. This seems like the perfect strain to make concentrates with due to the high terpene/trichome levels. I just added a photo of the Forbidden Runtz i grew in round 1 directly above round 2 flower for a comparison between the two. Round 1 is the two top buds that have more brown/red tone in colour. Round 2 are the lower two buds...a bigger, danker, and better version of the Forbidden Runtz I grew the first time. Please leave a comment to tell me what you think of the photo comparison. I will be planting one outside for round 3 shortly. Thank you growdiaries.com Thank you Fastbuds Thank you to all the growers who helps offer me advise when I needed it

So only after two weeks of curing these buds are becoming more and more refined! The texture of the buds is beautiful, it crumbles and grinds up effortlessly in my space case and is light, fluffy and almost ā€œgoopyā€ coming out of the grinder. I guess goopy is my description of ground bud that sticks together as it comes out of the grinder. It almost resembles goo or putty! That’s always a great indicator of a strain that has lots of sticky dank trichomes šŸ˜Ž Now onto the high... I must admit, I was a little disappointed at first. I was initially caught off guard by how smooth the smoke went down, but usually after the first hit I feel something. After the first hit of this strain I didn’t, so I packed another bowl and sparked her up... not much different. Around 15min after my second hit I started to gradually feel a trippy/tingly full body buzz and strong head buzz come on. Once I sat down on the couch it’s like it fully kicked in and I really felt a truly euphoric full body high along with a head high that felt incredible. She’s definitely what some would call a ā€œcreeper strainā€! To me though, the high is reminiscent of the first hour after ingestion of some top quality cubensis! In a nutshell the high is euphoric, energetic and crisp. I don’t feel groggy at all when I smoke this strain, I can be extremely productive with work and still articulate my thoughts with ease. I also noticed that I don’t get anxious in public and even though this strain is extremely uplifting and energetic I have zero issues getting to sleep at night. I could truly classify this strain as medicinal and I know if I was still a caregiver this would be on constant rotation! I will update more after 2.5-3.0 months cure!

Week 5 flower going well. Nothing much to report. Increased the drip as she is taking in more water. Turned up the fans to 100% for maximum flow, and due to that, the tent got a bit warmer and a bit dryer, so the exhaust fan and humidifier are working a bit harder. 75-77 deg F, 50-60% RH. Not sure if the lights are to intense or if it’s purple coming through, but at the highest tops there seems to be a bit of discolouration on the newest growth, just at the tips of the new buds. But I’m looking really close and it may be purple, not brown. I’ll keep an eye on it and turn the lights down if symptoms worsen. This plant is growing strong and uniform. Average frost so far. Hopefully she keeps growing well until the end. Thanks for the views…keep calm and grow on!

***UPDATE**** 6/17/2022 I forgot to mention that I transplanted both Big Bud Auto Plants, well slightly transplanted. I started Big Bud #1 off in a 16 oz grow cup and #2 I started off in a peat moss pod. Initially I just put the entire cup/pod into a 5 gallon pot without removing them from the container they were in. After a few days, I thought to myself "won't that restrict root growth somewhat?" so I took #1 out of the grow cup and transplanted directly into the soil in a 5 gallon and #2 I cut the white netting from around the peat moss pod and planted that directly into the soil in a 3 gallon pot. ***Update end*** Week 3 went by well. I'll admit I'm at the point where I've "been there done that" I don't pay as much attention to them and kind of let them do what they do. I lst'd Big Bud Auto #1, she is the healthiest and most robust of the group currently. Big Bud Auto #2 is sort of a runt compared to it's sister. I believe it may have to do to the fact that I started it in a peat moss pod and placed the entire pod into the soil. Caramelicious 2nd generation #1 is a project of mine. One of my plants hermied on my last grow and pollinated itself. This is one of the seeds from that Hermie. I am curious to see if it hermies or is a female. Because after all isn't forcing a female to hermie and pollinate itself is how feminized seeds are made? Needless to say I got over 1000 seeds, so I'm hoping that they are feminized. White Widow #3 popped up with severe helmut head, I tried my best to pull it off without damaging the plant, but ended up ripping a small piece of the tip of the plant. It is really small rn but seems to be growing. I'm curious to see how it grows. Lastly but not least there has been no action with my lavender and my hot chili peppers. I fed my ladies their first nutrients today. General Hydroponics Flora 3 part series. I mixed 1/4 ml into 3 gallons of water and ph'd it to 6.6 and fed each 1 liter.

This week has been a super explosive week for growth! The girls flipped to flower and are stretching like crazy. Started showing signs of flower on Thursday this past week so when time for the nutrient and water change, I went ahead and switched over to bloom nutrients and put my trellis net up to prepare for the stretch and boy am I glad I did. Every morning I have been checking and topping off the res with either RO water or mixed nutrients, I have kinda been alternating between just water and nutrients, just watching the plants and letting them tell me. Everything is looking super healthy and going well. I may end up adding another trellis net Friday with the nutrient change if the stretching continues. It seems these girls are legitimately growing about 2-3 inches a day. Its crazy! Environment continues to stay in check, humidty is getting a little high, but should be able to bring it down with the dehumidifier in the lung room. I have been plucking a few leaves here and there, like very minimal, just to get some penetration to the lower sites and see if we can get them to stretch up through the net. Once the stretch finishes, I think anything that didnt make it up will be removed so that we can focus the growth to the top bud sites. Still learning, but that is the plan for now. Other than that, going to continue as planned and excited to watch these girls flower! As always any tips, comments, and recommendations always welcome and appreciated!

This is a clone only strain I have been running for a little while and it never disappoints! Dense buds that stink the whole place up with its earthy, pungent, sweet smell. Not a huge yielder but it makes up for it in resin production. Probably not a good strain for First time growers as it needs topped, trained, and trellised. Overall happy with the way this run turned out lots of main buds, I ended up with 316.3 grams of trimmed nice frosty buds. I also took the rest of the buds (when they were wet)and put them in the freezer for some ff bubble hash. I ended up with 433.7 grams of wet fresh frozen material.

Top dressed with some more soil. The top was looking depleted and just want to keep it from completely taking all the nutrients from the soil. Added a mix of power bloom with azomite and glacial rock dust. I watered in with some pure protein dissolved into hot water then added to the water I was using at diluted levels. The second watering they got this week was with molasses. which also does a good job of dropping the ph of my water to the perfect level and a little bit of Epsom salt because I ran out of my cal mag and also want the plant to have plenty of sulfur. The plant ties are working great and glad it tied the buds up. They are all getting chunkier and frostier by the day. Found a few smaller ones on the side that i missed and got those standing up. they are sticky as a glue trap and reek hard!! diesel and fuel are most prevalent but not sure if it was my mind tricking me but got a hint of blueberry/friut. So far very excited with this plant, and living up to what i thought it would be. The way it covers itself in trichomes top and bottom of the leaves and the structure of the buds and leaf pattern make for a real beautiful plant.

8/10 - Got around 50g per plant, very frosty and compact too for an autoflower. Wanted to share the final product and the whole journey in once. Hope you like it. BTW: why can i only make one harvest when i dont harvest all the same time? And ive seen others be able to harvest week after week. Peace & Love

Hey Growers, End of week 10 from seed Earlier in the week I began noticing an orange color on some leaf tips, I probably overfed them nutrients so I fed them just water with a ph of 6.0 on the following feeding schedule and the leaves are looking better now. Last week a weird smell was coming out from the colas, its slowly changing. Its now starting to smell like šŸƒ šŸ‹ ā›½ļø Noticed a small Increase in orange pistils I want to increase light intensity but I am worried the red stems on the top of the plant will get worst and then affect the whole plant. Only the top part of the plant has some red stems, the rest are all green. QUESTIONS How close am I from Harvesting? When should I begin flushing?

Another good week in the bag. The girls are getting water every day. The shortest one drinks the most. Interesting. They have a sugary smell to them. It's hard to describe. I'll be interested in the final smell. I decided to bust out the microacope and to my surprise the trichomes are pretty milky already! It's only been five weeks! Will monitor to see the amber but still for this early! Started using the UVB! Started at 30 minutes for a few days. Now at one hour. The tests started at two hours at three weeks out which would be now. So gonna increase tomorrow another thirty and continue to ramp up.
