9 weeks complete . Time for the big chop . Colours outstanding smells incredible going to be a long 2 days 😴🔥✔️

Buds are definitely getting bigger the smell is so stab you in the nose potent it almost makes me sick up close. I really can't believe this is an autoflower that I barley trained. Definitely will be producing anywhere from 80-100g+ by the time its done I think is a good estimate. What I failed to mention in the first update is every branch has outgrown the main cola. It is buried but still growing strong apparently. It's impressive actually it grew like that without training. All those branches will be thicker than the main cola by far they already are. It's got me so excited this plant is frigging huge although short it is wide. It's so big the base of the main stem is probably the size of two fingers and it has roots growing out of all sides and a mess of roots underneath the cloth pot

About this diary> So I've made it to the end! This baby didnt die on me! This diary was half a record for myself, to keep improving and contrasting against my future grows in and out of this wonderful platform (growdiaries), and half a tutorial for other noobs like me. That's why I wrote somewhat long explanations about some of the things I myself found confusing during this and last grow. I also repeated myself, but again mostly because I was trying to learn while doing. I got some help from other growers in the community, which was very nice, and different from trying to figuring out everything by oneself. This girl stretched a lot! from about 30 cm at the end of flower to about 90 cm before harvest, it survived nutrient burn, an accident were I dropped something heavy on her on flower, accidentally chopping a branch during LST and spider mites. However, still yielded nicely. I cant imagine what these genetics could become in the hands of a master grower!! About the growing conditions> The idea of the grow was, not only to learn how to grow a somewhat long flowering strain (6 week veg, 10 weeks flower) but also doing it very cheaply. I think the most expensive thing I bought was the seed from RQS. I built my own light fixture (from 4x 4.00CAD COBs from aliexpress), some cardboard, wire, sticks, tape and aluminum foil. I also used dollar store nutrients (like 15% of a 15-15-15 veg mix, and a 15-30-15 flowering mix). I timed this strain to finish a few weeks before the temperature really starts dropping outside, and was always able to keep it around 20-29C without any air conditioner/heater. About growing amnesia haze> I harvested this plant on the early side, but I found it a challenge not to harvest earlier! Since many weeks ago the delicious smell has been filling the room and some parts of the house... Plus, its a long wait... However, I think it was very well rewarded :) As I said, the high is creative, giggly, energetic and uplifting, at least from the premature samples we got. I will update this once the real deal is dry and cured :) About the harvest> Well in terms of numbers, I will update this when the weed is done drying, but I can do an estimate right now... each sample I took weighted about 1.45g wet, and dried to a 25% of that (0.35 g each)... It means that what I weighted from the harvest (412.86g + a bunch of trim) would probably weight about 100g when dry... Let's see how it goes in a week or two :)

What a journey it was growing this plant. I flowered the full 16 weeks. I should have known It would not be easy to do indoors. I would not have expected to get such large dense colas from the plant I vegged. The amount of stretch was crazy in flower. And the fact that all the nodes filled in with buds makes this a really good plant for yield. This was my highest-yielding plant so far. I was able to train her just right so I didn't run out of space but that is one of the main considerations for growing this plant. She does not like to be too hot. Anything over 78 F and she was getting stressed. Was growing alongside two other 8-week strains that favored the conditions fine when it got above 80 a few days . Rained 3 weeks in a row and the humidity was very high I got some bud rot the last few days of flower only on the biggest colas. I lost 1/5 of the harvest but still managed a very good yield. The smell is piny, herbal and flowery and when smoke almost doesn't taste like cannabis but like some herbal smoke. It is also some of the smoothest weed I've smoked. The high is also very unique and while there is a little bit of a body high it feels more like a reverberation from the intense head high. Will make you productive and alert and focused. High lasts about 2 hours. But I still need to cure. I hope the trippy comes out more with time. Lost 100 grams to bud rot but good news I still jarred 17.4 ounces of trimmed good stuff. I burned the bad stuff and the trim in my fire pit and got a contact high at least. Hope I never have to do that again. Trimming took 6 hours. I started by bucking down the hangers and carefully inspecting inside every bud and sat aside anything that was even suspected of bud rot. I trimmed and jarred once's up as i went as try to to keep things from getting as contaminated as possible. Once i was done through that i went though the suspect buds and removed the good bits and have in a separate jar just for myself to smoke out the bong asap. and burned the bad stuff in the fire pit. If I see it start to turn bad I'm just going to toss it. No need to be smoking moldy buds. The rot really only affected the tops of the biggest colas in the center. Had I not suffered the bud rot the yield would have been 21 ounces! Was going to mark the final yield based on what was good but that damn auto flower mutant I just grew messed my yield ratio up lol , and I technically grew the bud I just can't smoke it, and that is its potential for the conditions I gave it. So i am counting it as 21. I feel like If I did it again perfectly I could get 2.5 due to the fact i still have quite a bit of space I could have stretched into. While she did stretch a lot from mid to late flower it's not as much as I expected and I had a little more room that I could have veged another week or two. I really though it was going to be to the ceiling with tall skinny lanky buds So i flipped to flower I few weeks later than I had with my other grows. I was not expecting these cannon buds. Seem's like having the lights a the top of the tent and having them as powerful as they can be without any extra stress or harm to the plants decide where they need to stretch to and find the sweet spot themselves. After curing for 17 months I needed to make room for nee stuff so decided to gave pressing this stuff into rosin another try with pretty good results! I tried to upload pictures but not working wt the moment but I got over 15 percent yield which was way better than when it was fresh. I re-moistened the buds overnight in a container with a screen and a damp towel at the bottom and seemed to help a lot. A lot of the terps has faded ad aged but I think i had a nice pleasant mellow pine earthy flavor. The dabs hit you a little harder and faster than the flower which is nice.

The growth on this girl last week 🔥🔥🔥 & she's healthy AF(excuse my French🤣) She's been praying🙏 24/7 to my Geeklight Geekbeast Pro. At the end of next week i'm gonna do a big clean up on her (defol & lollipop) also i gonna give her, her first tea😁 (Bio-Tabs Compost Thee) Stay tuned & elevated growmies💚

I still have to wait for about 8 weeks, I believe in the open air ... they already have a smell of fruit and forest ... with one of them has nutrients from the biobizz tripack ... because it had a lack of nutrients ... a measure 40 cm and the ptra is around 1.70 ... waiting for the fattening of buds

I rated this with top marks for a reason. Two pheno's were topped and fimmed while I left one to grow naturally to get a sense for the plants structure. I'll try to convert some pictures and upload them. This is the darkest smelliest most potent cannabis ive ever grown. I believe I have a new favorite strain. Having been able to selectively harvest two of the plants worked out amazing. After harvesting the nice milky tops, the smaller buds that I left were able to continue growing up through the horizontal trellis and gave me another FULL harvest! Plus I was able to take the late little buds around the size of a quarter (that were all purple with amber trichs) and I was able to harvest AGAIN for the 3rd time and froze a couple lbs wet to make extracts with. This strain was extremely resilient and I don't think I had one spot of botrytis. After harvesting the last two girls (for the third time lol) I noticed they got some powder mildew. That's okay though it was just stuff I wasn't expecting anyway and it went in the freezer. Strain came out just as advertised. Lime green flowers with bright red stigmas that retracted into the flower as it finished. One pheno turned purple towards the end of the season. Very low leaf to bud ratio with this strain. This was one of the worst seasons for growing cannabis but this strain excelled despite the 50 degree temperature swings, weeks of rain, hurricanes and 50mph winds. Not only that, they aren't kidding when they advertise this strain upward of 30% thc. I'll save the effects for the smoke report but this is certainly the STRONGEST cannabis i have ever grown. I am so proud of myself for growing cannabis of this quality. Quantity got me 18 jars and about a quarter of a tote. I'll save the rest for the smoke review. And I'll finish this later. After having had time to cure this strain only seemed to increase in potency. I saved a few lbs wet to freeze and extract. I kind of messed this run up. It still turned out 🔥. I'm used to working with dry material or trim. I think I pushed to hard when I tried to "wick" water away from the hash on the 25u square, I don't think I waited for it to dry long enough end then I didn't let the resin cool before I tried to separate the turkey bags. I left my anxiety meds at my father's and end up ripping the cellophane in 3 pieces. I ended up driving to get my meds with my hands looking like I stuck them in a peanut butter jar. When I made it back the material had cooled. I managed to scrap a ball off my hands. I was then able to dab up almost 100% of the resin! It came ripping up making a loud nose and I'd think I ripped it again. That being said I did lose a little on my hands and equipment. You live and learn I guess. Dry and wet are totally different. However this hash smells JUST LIKE the jars of cured weed. And like I previously said; "If I could design a strain specifically for me, this would probably be it."

11/10/22 another week down. Suprised she's still going. Still battling WPM. She'll probably be done this week.

So, with these interesting times and what is becoming a fast evolving global catastrophe. I, myself, along with the rest of you ( I hope ) can take some solace in looking after our gardens, to have some peace away from the news, to give our ladies the best care we are able to provide 🌱 If you ever needed any vindication or validation as to why growing your own is best. More than half the world currently in lockdown, and with MJ in short supply, our actions speak for themselves! Anyway, back to this diary. I done a lot of work on the room, invested a lot and tried to make everything as automated as possible. Everything runs on smart plugs, the hydroponic system is DIY and is RDWC which is cooled with a Hailea 150a. 6 plants is what I am going for this time, with a shorter veg length compared to the last grow. I prefer to wait until they show their sex, but if they don’t by week 5, I plan on flipping anyway all being well. I am using 730nm LED’s that come on 15 mins before lights on, turn off during lights on, and then they come back on when lights go out, and stay on for 15 mins. This should enable me to run 13/11 during flower with little risk. I am also going to add a UVB fixture to my custom rig which will only be used during the final 2 weeks of flower. I have 3 Alibaba lights attached to a custom rig, they really are awesome lights. I tested the room out with an Apogee SQ-520 par meter (PAR map in pics). I have dimmed them down, so PAR is around 500 across the whole canopy, this will be increased to 1000 once they’re flipped. I vent from my house, to the room and then outside, this increases the CO2 in the room, which I think helped the yields on the last grow, generally CO2 hovers between 470 and 700 PPM. My ladies look a little sick, but tbh, I struggle starting out in Rockwool, and things usually correct themselves within a couple weeks. With the quarantine I have struggled to pick up a humidifier that is capable of maintaining that room, so it has been all over the place since the start. I have opted to go with Royal Gorilla this cycle, let’s see if it’s as potent as RQS says that it is! Good luck all and take care...

Hi nice people! I decided to keep the lower tiny branches and this week I defoliate her quite a bit, as lots of bud sites were covered. Overall a great week, buds are developing very well as shown in the pics. As always, stay safe, stay high!

Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants are filling up more and the first pistils start to get brown, which shows the plants start to ripen and go towards harvest time. The smell they exude is STRONG now and VERY PLEASANT. The aroma is sweet, peachy with sandalwood undertones and is MOUTH-WATERING. The plants are TRICHOME MONSTERS and are covered in crystals, any little touch and your fingers stay sticky for hours.

Hello everyone 👋 She grew fast and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves! She has responded superbly to low stress training and topping & i defoliated her aswell and seems didn't even notice 😎 Wish you all a good day and happy growing 😁

Transplant is very close, in a few days she'll be resting in a 10 gal fabric pot ! Unfortunately, a glitch in the page erased all the comments I have been recording here during the past days :( This is Day 44 (24/10/2019) and she looks well recovered from the very many toppings yesterday. Day 45 (25/10/2019) I inserted the plant's small plastic pot into the coco/perlite mix of the big pot to create a niche that fits perfectly for the rootball when I remove the plastic pot tomorrow; spraying the niche with fertilizer solution and root excelurator may help. I hope she'll never realise she has been transplanted. The run off EC from the big pot is 1000 uS/cm and pH about 5.8. I had to perform some operations using tape because the stem near the tip snapped and below the crack, I saw lacerations caused by the twist tie, those need to be fixed right now. Day 46 She's transplanted and the scrog net set up. I'd say that now the journey begins. Day 47 I fertigated by 5.30 am because I had to spend all day working and on Day 48 back to normal, morning fertigation and a little supercropping. The plant has recovered fully from transplant (if she has been ever stressed during the procedure). From now on I'll be fertigating once a day with a liter and a half fertig solution to get a 20-30% run-off. Also, I fertigate other vegging and blooming plants with the effluents I collect.

Those three Bubble OG plants are something else. They're stretching up so much, it's like they're on steroids or something. Seriously, in the past week they've shot up a ton. I can't believe how much they've grown. Well, it's Christmas again. This year feels a little different, though. Maybe it's the snow blanketing everything, or the way the tree lights up the whole living room. Either way, it's cozy and warm, even when it's freezing outside. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Santa brings. I hope I get that new video game I've been wanting. But most of all, I can't wait to spend time with my family. We always have so much fun This past week was a good one for the plants. They started the first week of their stretch, and they've already grown a decent amount. I can really see them filling out. It's cool to watch them grow so fast. I can't wait to see how big they get by the end I always get a little worried at this stage, like they're not gonna get as big as I want them to. But then I remember how they always end up surprising me. By the end, they're always perfect.
