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

Everything was fine until I seen what appeared to be nutrient burn starting. The tips were getting slightly burnt. So last week I stopped nutrients and gave plain RO water with SLF100 and Herculean harvest to break up whatever was causing the burn. I then gave it a light feeding and then fed again with just plain water and SLF100 with Herculean harvest. So flush feed flush is what I did. Well now I have a bigger problem. My bottoms are all turning yellow. No brown spots, no curling. Just going yellow. I have already gave them a huge feed today. They got everything in my Nectar Line up plus BioBiz Alg a Mic and roots Organics teas as a top dress. Doing this I plan on fixing the Nitrogen deficiency and Potassium deficiency. Of course Iโ€™m not 100% sure thatโ€™s what the problem is but Iโ€™m pretty damn sure. My PH and PPM are solid and on point so there is only so many things it could be from that point. Plants arenโ€™t hot. They arenโ€™t cold. Humidity is spot on. More than enough light. Not over fed or over watered. Iโ€™m hoping things will bounce back really soon cause Iโ€™m not too happy with myself right now.

Day 29 - 01/12/19 in the last two weeks this plant has just exploded. very tall and very bushy! i had to bend the fan leaves out of the way so the preflowers could reach the light. Light floral/diesel smell coming from the plant. should be going into flowering next week :) Ive stopped using vitalink plantstart for feeding as our plant is established. I will now be using Canna A Canna B, Canna Rhizotonic and Vitalink Calmag. I have also been doing LST since last week to keep a more flat top round body shape to the plant :) hopefully this will force the plant to stay small but grow big buds! Same Day Update: watered the plants just now and i got frustrated looking at the diesel auto trying to keep the fan leaves above everything else haha. i said no and LSTd it hard! all the flowering growth now has great light coverage and i added a few photos in at the end too. From the photos you can see my Quick One plant from my other diary. on this plant all the colas are pretty even in height except from the main cola. this time im going to try and improve my technique on the diesel plant and try to get all colas at the same height :) Happy Growing and check out my other diaries!

Gaia F1 is looking to be experiencing a bit of a growth spurt, which is nice to see! Hopefully, she will start progressing a little bit more next week. The leaves are a nice green colour looking very healthy, very pleased. I have added an additional 100Watt UVA/UVB lamp, as the uppermost canopy of Acapulco Gold is blocking pretty much everything in the tent. Hopefully, this will aid the shorter plants in surviving until I can harvest it. There will be so much more space and lighting. Can't wait! ๐Ÿ˜… Here is what I did this week. 25.9.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; ๐Ÿ’œ Sea K PH: 6.5 PPM: 565 The fungus gnats have really increased since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thanks for checking in this week and see you in the comments ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ˜

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.

Smell is amazing like fizzy pineapples it overpowers the cookie dawg smell but the combo of the strains is also amazing the slight cookie and chem smell inside the tent. Will re pot these all and hope they all females due to the seeds being regular and not feminised. All looks good will keep eye on pistils to appear or not. I am always using the same feed: Coco A Coco B Canna Rhizotonic Cannazym Canna cal mag Canna boost Ph up

The second week of flushing. Some of the leaves from the bottom of the plant are already yellow or light green. It seems that now she consumes the nutrient buildup from the bottom leaves. Still milky trichomes, but I spotted a few amber. Also, the buds gained a purple shade, looks awesome! week 14

Absolutely lovely, terpene profile is strong and pungent. With sweet vanilla and fruity pineapple smells. Will update once dried and cured. ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž

Week 7 is over. They are more than ready for flowering. In 3-4 days I'll have free bloom tent and will transfer them there and flip to 12/12. Most of them are doing very good - slight VPD issues but will be corrected. Strawberry Cough still the biggest even after double topping and bending. Still looks weak-ish though. Stems and branches are very flexible comparing to other plants. Grandpa's Cookies #6 are a failure. I'll see but I probably will discard it. It's very underdeveloped - small, slender, willowy. Leaves are still weird - it didn't grow out of it.

Dia de riego, claramente una no se ve tan saludable como la otra, ya que bebe mas agua y necesita mas dosis de nitrรณgeno. Comenzare a regarlas con dosis por separado para reforzar a la mas dรฉbil.

Hello:) The plants are progressing nicely. The wasabi is almost ready but the sangrias need at least one more week. Letโ€˜s hope the wasabi wonโ€˜t be too much overripe by then:) Sadly the red/purple buds donโ€˜t seem to spread more to the top buds, I suspect that the temperature difference between day and night is not enough, letโ€˜s see if they get more color this week. I plan to harvest between the 18.11-22.11 if the sangrias are ready, the wasabi will have to hang in there:) Also, Iโ€˜ve started making the video, looks ok ,I have to get a more stable shot next time:)

The video is probably the quickest update ๐Ÿ˜„ My next run; i plan to be less of a Variety King and finally use my SCROG net. The beans I'll be running to scrog are Royal Cookies and El Patron (both RQS), if anyone has any experience with those strains? I'll be running a smaller Apple Fritter and Blue Cheese auto too... hey, I have very discerning terp-buds, ok?!

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Week 17: 3/23 - 3/29 ๐Ÿ“† Week 7 of 12/12 ๐ŸŒ„ The plant is starting to go into senescence and presenting some beautiful colors as she begins to fade. ๐Ÿ’ก Received new lighting courtesy of Growers Choice. They sent me the ROI-E420 with the Master Controller. First impression is amazing. Looks and feels like very high quality build. The spectrum seems more blue than the 3000k lm301H Kingbrite bars I have been using. The bars are thinner and packed with a lot of diodes, so they do run a little hotter than the KB at full power. I adjusted and now running them at 90%. For now the Kingbrite bars are being used as side lighting dimmed to about 30-35% depending on Grow room temps.
