This week in my grow room has been full of developments. First, I added additional lights because I couldn't get the relative humidity (RH) under control. I ordered a dehumidifier, but it will take a few weeks to arrive, so I had to find a temporary solution. I also emptied the reservoir and refilled it with fresh water and nutrients. I secured the net to ensure it stays in place under tension. In two days, I plan to switch the light schedule to 12/12, hoping the plants will stretch a bit during the switch to avoid having overly large buds that aren't evenly spread. Seventeen hours later, I decided to keep the lights on a 16/8 schedule for a few more days. The plants are starting to show signs of something happening, so I want to see how they develop. I will keep you updated on the progress. Then, I received a message from my supplier that the dehumidifier would arrive today. Great news—time to spice things up! On June 2nd, the dehumidifier arrived, and I managed to get my Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) to 1.17! This is fantastic news, and I'm very curious how this will affect water usage. The dehumidifier seems pretty powerful, with water literally dripping out of the hose, so I'm no longer worried about high humidity levels. It's a shame it doesn't have a range setting, but I couldn't expect more for the price. I'm considering ordering the Dimlux Auxbox to set a working range and separate day/night settings. Thankfully, the dehumidifier has an auto-restart function after a power loss. On June 3rd, the night is over, and while my values are now more stable, I haven't noticed any significant differences in water absorption. What I do notice is that the pots seem much drier. The difference in leaf temperature compared to the room temperature has increased slightly, now about a 2˚C difference, indicating that evaporation has increased somewhat. Despite the dehumidifier cooling the air, the room temperature has risen. This is explainable since dry air heats up faster than humid air. The CO2 heater is also running significantly longer. So, although there are no immediately visible differences, there are indeed some changes. Today is the last short night of 8 hours, and tomorrow will be the first night of 12 hours. I am contemplating doing a 10-hour night first and will decide later tonight. After closely reviewing the video footage, I noticed some divergent colors on the leaves. My pH is currently 6.4, which I had adjusted to compensate for the low pH last week—a foolish decision in coco, I know. I plan to make videos of each individual plant for my records to investigate further. The light is too intense to inspect them up close, so the videos will help me get a better look.

This week marked the final chapter of this journey. After 17 days of sunny, dry conditions, the sudden return of damp, humid weather and low airflow triggered internal bud rot (Botrytis) deep inside the main cola. Despite regular inspections and careful care, it developed rapidly in the dense core. I removed the affected top to stop further spread, but it was clear — nature had made her decision. The plant gave her all and was already in the final ripening stage, so I’m grateful for what she produced. Lesson of the week: Even outdoor autoflowers can fall victim to mould late in flower, especially in humid coastal climates like Ramsgate. Next time, I’ll cover my plants during the final weeks to protect from dew, humidity, and stagnant moisture. Big thanks to FastBuds for a strong and impressive cultivar — this was a powerful pheno with excellent structure, trichome coverage, and strong medicinal aroma. The genetics were solid; this was simply a weather issue. Every grow teaches us something. Grateful for the ride.

Finally the end of the sixth week. I had very bright, slightly yellow leaves because i had given too much light and too little fertilizer. The lamp was then turned down to 80W and raised to 50cm height, so that the plant could calm down again. I also corrected the amount of fertilizer. Now she looks happier again 😇 Thanks also to @Seedler, I "tucked" the leaves under the buds and it worked very well. 🌱🌱🌱 Grow Hard. Go Pro.

I wasn't paying attention to the plant and she got a little dried out. I noticed that the lower leaves were stating to curls and She was just looking very unhealthy. I flushed the pot and defoliated all the growth below the top two nodes on each branch. gave her a couple days to recover from the defoliation and then added a feeding of nutrient solution. She has recovered nicely. However, there are some leaves that are still showing signs of damage but also improvement. That is the reason that this week is lacking in photos. I had to play doctor to the plant.

Cosecha: -632 gramos secos, mucho más de lo que esperaba. -buen sabor, olor potente, efecto muy cerebral. -me atrase en varios procesos, lo que alargó al menos en unas 2 semanas el cultivo, sin cometer los mismos errores creo que se puede lograr más cantidad y más rápido. -Advanced nutrients siempre me ha dado buen resultado, aunque los productos son caros, en el segundo cultivo estoy probando otro fertilizante más barato y hasta ahora con excelentes resultados. -seguiré usando el mismo sustrato(turba + vermiculita en proporción 50/50). -en el segundo cultivo(Jamaican Dream 2) es posible que la cosecha sea más grande y más rápida, ya que voy aprendiendo de los errores cometidos y voy refinando el método. Muchas gracias por los comentarios, saludos.

Easy to grow and produced some very nice, top notch flowers!! I would highly recommend this strain. Very little effort aside from the normal care and she did amazing. Benefits from lst and defoliation to open up the buds to the lights.

Its official , she is a lady !!!. I am relieved to see that she is def female and no signs of Nanners so far !. Her stretch This week has been really helpful in keeping her going lateral with mains. She has approx 15-20 potential good mains around her now so once i can get to the 21 day 12/12 point , i should be able to bring the best of them to the final contenders. She is root building like crazy and the tank she is in is dropping quicker now each day. she is definitely happy and healthy . I am glad I use the quadlining as she would be very tall now. she is 2 weeks younger but the biggest in her group of plants !. The Blue Gelato 41 in her wants to go sativa tall but thankfully the Gorilla zkittelz side is just as happy Thickening out sideways. For such a short veg time she is impressive too. Let's see what buds she can throw up. Be Well and safe Growmies

Day 71 - Fresh tank...all new nutes. Started PK Warrior today so they'll be on that for the next 4 weeks as I start to drop the bloom nutes gradually. Noticed on my time lapse on the Saturday night (Their day), they had quite a heavy sag...as much as I've been very critical of EC/pH numbers and the likes, I missed out on light height and it was getting a bit close and starting to heat stress them a bit...raised it on the Sunday and the last 18secs of the time lapse shows them bounce back great. Have raised it even further today to get it approx 14"-15" from the tallest cola, 16"-17" average from the rest. Noticing as well a lot more bottom leaves dropping off...hoping this is from light deprivation...have some proper, shriveled up dry ones in there too but some still green just coming away with a slightest touch - its near lollipopping themselves so all I am doing is removing whats hanging loose and trying to leave as much on there to allow the plants to absorb what it can before it discards them. As the canopy looking so strong, and flowers do seem to be getting bigger from the time-lapse, I'm not going to worry (just yet).

Easy grow. Sold no fuss strain. Big buds. This is probably my favourite strain for consumption. Very head high but powerful. One of the few strains that has absolutely 0 after effects. No hangover. No stupids. The larff and shake made excellent coconut oil for Nanaimo bars.

The living soil I’m using is a bit strong, so I made a cup size hole and filled with just soil and worm castings to plant the seed

She is getting real frosty and has a real strong Blueberry smell now. The buds and sugar leafs are super sticky and starting to turn purple.

My other grow was growing into the light, so I had to switch them. This light doesn't have the greatest coverage, but it had to be done. The humidifier is still down, and I'm going to have to move house with it on one of the coldest days of the year, so this grow does not have everything going for it. Smells strong, like candy apples and the buds are getting very dense.

04.25 F29 So I just posted all of these this week, so Ill give a little more background for documentation’s sake and those curious. Started with 30 beans. Selected down to 19 in veg by vigor and further down to 15 after culling males. The passion berry, deadstar and star pupil are feminized - the rest are regs, so should have some pheno variability. I made a few different types of living soil at the beginning of this grow due to the a availability of different composts. All roughly 1:1:1 base(reclaimed living soil):aeration:compost with appropriate amount of amendments from a coots kit on buildasoil. Composts are my homemade bokashi based quasi-vermicompost, OLY Fish or NaturesLivingSoil concentrate. I use cal mag and Neptune's Harvest fish hydrolysates drenches and foliar in veg to balance deficiencies and top dressed before flower with Organic Maine lobster compost. Just applied my first homebrewed compost tea made with worm castings, OM lobster, NH hydrolysate, kelp meal, and black strap molasses and looking forward to a second half(+) of flower. Most of veg was under COBs, but I upgraded to meiju qb288s for late veg and flower - loving them! 05.01 F36
