I messed up and didnt get many pics as me and my buddy were very very busy trimming from 10am-10pm got the 1 blue cheese plant finished!!! In 12 hours we did 1 plant thats fricken insane considering me and him did 8 of his outdoor plants in less time back in fall,more bud than i have ever seen on a plant under 3ft shit it had more bud on it than the 8 footer i grew last fall lol just so impressed with this plant i will definitely be growing many more blue cheese using FOOP nutes in the future thats for sure ,i am not touching any of this nugget until its dried and cured...gonna be hard to resist lol but it will be worth it for sure 😉

So another week ticked off, with all going to plan so far. Plants all responding well to training (just lst & some tactical defoliation). All are showing their first pistils so expecting them to start stretching any time now. Only plain dechlorinated ph’d water so far into my home made dry amended soil / coco / castings mix. Will top dress at the next watering and perhaps a compost tea at the end of this / start of next week. As for the smoking, I have started to smoke a little of the strawberry pie auto from last harvest which is just starting to cure. I might even prefer it to the gorilla cookies, it’s so dank. Therefore a little bit cross with myself for not including at least 1 this round. Still, first world problems I guess. Anyway thanks for reading, have a great week. 😊

9/9 Still looking for the cause of the top fading only on the light colored phenos think its P will address tomorrow, want a couple more weeks from these guys at least. 9/10 Looking better top dressed the Happy Frog 3 tbs/plant watered with Bio-Bloom 3tsp /gal and Big Bloom 3tsp/gal 9/13 D62 Just finishing the week things are pretty stable. Nuet issues resolved and buds building nicely taking on a more fuzzy appearance with straight new growth hairs. Pics at lights out if I remember Looking at 9/27 for a harvest date or at least its penciled in on the calendar. Next feed is full

6/8 Haven't had to water yet (besides the two tens and I should've held off). It's an overcast day. Perfect for the plants. I've noticed more off shoots of 3 pronged leaves so a few plants will reveg but thats fine. I'm happy with how things are going thus far. These are certainly very resilient strains. I've done some SLIGHT LSTing. EDIT: IT'S BEEN A NICE DAY TODAY. A LITTLE OVERCAST BUT SUNNY AT TIMES. PERFECT WEATHER FOR THE GIRLS. THEY ARE LOVING IT OUT THERE! 6/9 And the girls are lookin' Fiiiiiine. In all seriousness everything is doing pretty good. Even that overwatered pink kush runt in the 10gal is coming out of its little funk. Some of my FIM's turned out amazing! With the reveg of some of these I'll definately have my hands full. Very grateful for smart pots and well draining soil! We've gotten some harsh rain but the girls all seem fine. It's the wind today that's a little worrisome. I may stop over later. I COULD put up tarps around the cage as wind blocks (and have before in the past) but it increases the humidity of an already extremely humid day. These girls are strong. I'm sure they'll be fine. I've found that the tarps typically hurt worse than they help. 6/10 56° at 9am. Shook the plants off. Medium wasn't soaked though. Luckily we had some wind. It's not raining now but it's going to have showers for half the day. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 80's and sunshine so if that comes through things might workout alright. I still haven't had to water this year besides that one gallon on the tens. If I do something I'll update. I'm considering light stepping the two pink kush's in the 10's. I'll need to do more research. 6/11 BEAUTIFUL DAY! Windy too which helped dry the grow bags. Plants are growing at a rapid rate. I've yet to have to water. A few more days like this and I'll have too. It was in the 80's and is still 75 at 5:30. Bags still have heft to them and I can still feel moisture. They got tons of rain. I'll keep an eye on them. Thus far I'm pleasantly surprised (knock on wood). 6/12 Everything looked great this morning. It's a little overcast and 69° @ 8:45. I mixed water planning on watering but decided against it due to the weight I was feeling. My wife said it rained hard last night for a little while but the topsoil was dry. It did look disturbed though. Luke it got PELTED with rain. The medium looks dry but there is still some weight to the grow . I'll be back over later and I'll check things out. Overall plants have made a great transition even in this bi-polar weather extravaganza. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AT NOON AND EVERYTHING WAS LOOKING WONDERFUL. ITS 80° AND SUNNY WITH A STRONG WIND. THAT'S WHY I FIGURED THE PLANTS WOULD NEED TO BE WATERED. APPARENTLY THOSE THUNDERSTOTMS WITH SHEET RAIN HAVE KEPT THEM WATERED. AS PREDICTED THE TWO 10GAL POTS AT THE FRONT OF THE CAGE WERE A LITTLE LIGHT AND THE TOPSOIL WAS REAL DRY. MY MK ULTRA IN THE 30GAL LOOKED LIKE IT COULD USE SOME WATER AS WELL AND I FINALLY GAVE SOME TO THE 10TH PLANET IN THE FRONT ROW. BOTH THOSE PLANTS WERE BIGGER THAN THE REST AT TRANSPLANT AND IN A SLIGHTLY LARGER CONTAINER. THE FRONT ROW SEEMS TO DRY OUT FASTER FOR SOME REASON. I HAD 3 GALLONS MIXED UP TO START WATERING BUT AFTER CHECKING EVERYTHING ELSE I DECIDED TO GIVE THE FRONT ROW (THE ONLY ONES THAT WERE LIGHTER) A LITTLE WATER. I USED TWO GALLONS FOCUSING ON THE KUSH'S IN THE 2 10'S. THIS WAS MY WAY OF MEETING IT IN THE MIDDLE. IVE LOOKED AT PREVIOUS DIARIES AND I THINK I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. NO RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR A WHILE. I NEED TO REMIND MYSELF THAT PLANTS THIS SIZE USE MUCH LESS WATER THAN WHEN THE BAG IS ALL ROOTS. 6/13 It's windy as hell! I would've thought that the bags would be dried out by now! I went around and it seemed like they still had weight. It was also cold last night and is 63° and sunny at 11am. It's not getting any hotter. I DID water the two plants in the back row as they seemed a LITTLE lighter than the others. I split a gallon between those two and didnt water the rest. I figured I'll let tje wind dry them out some more. I know what they feel like when they are totally dry. I don't want to get to that point but it's easier to fix than over watering. I'll update later today. EDIT: I FORGOT MY PHONE BUT I USED ANOTHER TO TAKE A VIDEO BYTCI CANT ADD IT. PLANTS STILL HAD SOME HEFT BUT WERE LIGHTER THAN EARLIER. I DECIDED TO WATER AFTER A PRETTY THOUROUGH ANALYSIS. I GAVE EACH PLANT A HALF GALLON EXCEPT THE 50GAL WHICH I ABSTAINED. WIND IS STILL HIGH. I even got on my laptop to try to add a video but it won't allow me to do it here EITHER. Come on grow diaries. Up your game. 6/14 GROW DIARIES STILL WONT ALLOW PICTURES OR VIDEOS. TRIED MY LAPTOP BUT STILL NO DICE. Weather has been sunny but in the 60's. I'm glad I watered. I can tell the plants liked it. Everything looks amazing 10th planet 2 in the second row is getting massive. I noticed something with the pink kush in the middle of the back.i originally FIMed it but I didn't think it took so I fimmed it again a little later on. Go8ng through the plants I found that there's a point that has like three tops on it but the thick stalk continues up and there are FOUR or FIVE more TOPS!!! I've never seen anything like this! I'm interested to see how this one turns out. Man I wanted to put some pictures up. Everything is doing so good. Maybe when I start a new week it will let me. I need to start low stress training and I need to put up trellises. Plants have also survived sustained high winds. EDIT: WENT OVER AT 5PM AND WATERED THE TWO TENS WITH A HALF GALLON EACH. THE OTHERS "LOOK" REALLY DRY BUT I ADDED MORE SOIL TO THE BAGS A COUPLE DAYS AFTER TRANSPLANT (A WHILE AGO. DONT KNOW IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. I ASSUME ITS THAT THE PLANTS HAVENT FULLY FILLED THE BAGS AND THUS TAKE LONGER TO DRY OUT. I PLAN TO CHECK WEATHER (NO RAIN UNLESS ITS CHANGED) AND WILL WATER EVERYTHING TOMORROW. STILL CANT ADD PHOTOS. PR9BABLY WONT BE ABLE TO START A NEWXWEEK EITHER TOMORROW. I HAVE A BUNCH OF GREAT PICS. OH AND IN ONE BAG I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE CORYLEDON LEAVES. I PULLED IT OUT AND IT WAS LIKE A TUBER. I DUG DOWN AT THE EDGE OF THE GROW BAGCWND WHETE THEY HAD BROKE SURFACE AND PULLED THEM OUT. ITS FUCKING BIRD SEED. I SAW THE BITCH THAT MOWS THE LAWN MOWING INTO MY CAGE. I'LL BE SPEAKING WITH HER. LUCKILY I KEEP A GOOD EYE ON KY PLANTS. PLANTS THAT WRRE SHOOTING OFF 3 PRONGED LEAVES SEEM TO BE REVERTING BACK. IF THERE WAS REVEG IT IS CERTAINLY NOT HURTIMG ANYTHING. CANT WAIT TO SHOW HOW THE GIRLS HAVE GROWN!

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

Not much to tell this week, happy to say that she's been doing well over the last week while she has been flushed with ph'd tap water! She is now getting close to harvest time, I think I might let her flush for a couple of days more before I harvest her😁 She is a little older and further along than the rest of the tent, so she will be the only one to be harvested and I will let the three other run until I see amber trichomes develop on them! I planted her a little earlier than the three others to allow me to use her as my "test dummy" for my first run, and so I could make corrections for the other three early on! But even though she has been my tester and has taken a bit of abuse from time to time while I was still more unsure of everything at the start, she has still turned out way better than I ever had dared to hope for when I started this journey over 100 days ago, and the heavy aroma shes giving off is amazing and she has developed some of the more dense nugs out of my four girls so far! 🙏 But yeah I'm thinking that I will harvest her tomorrow or the day after at the latest to let me get a trail run off on drying before I harvest the other three girls, just to make sure I get that process down! But the next update that I will come with will be after the harvest if things goes to plan, and like I said I am soo excited for that day to come and get my next run started! 😁 Happy growing everyone! and thank you for all the encouragement and comments, it has really helped a lot and I will for sure stay active on the community and make a dairy for my next run too!

Topping and LST is used and in the first day of week 3, I transplanted them to 5 gallons grow bags so they are growing well and the methods are looking great full to my plants. In those 3 clones, 91 Octane from In House Genetics was the biggest and tallest one.

But Overall I love it! Hope you guys enjoy my first Rollercoaster ride with this Grow! Happy Grow to you all! Switched to a 250W HID for constant temperature.
