LAST WATER 6/4 6/5 The sun has been relentless and has caused some bleaching and burns on some older leaves. It seems that the gmos ate having the hardest time (except one). It's been extremely hot though. It's overcast and we are supposed to have thunderstorms and a few more mild days. Plants loved tje water yesterday. I hope it does rain. Plants are growing and seem to be surviving. Burns are on old growth. If I notice more I'll put my back tarp up which will block the sun in the afternoon and put them in shade. I wish I had done that earlier. Oh well. With what these girls have encountered and overcome I think I'll be OK. EDIT: IT WAS IN THE 80'S TODAY. PROBABLY HIT 90. I HAD TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED AND WAS GONE EXPECTING IN THE MORNING THAT THE THUNDERSTORMS WOUKD START. INSTEAD WE HAD A VICIOUSLY SUNNY HOT DAY UNTIL 4PM. AT 4PM SHIT HIT THE FAN AND IT RAINED SO HARD I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. I LIVE IN MAINE SO I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN INCLIMENT WEATHER. THIS WAS ANSOLUTE ZERO VISABILITY. I WANTED TO PUT A TARP UP TO SHIELD THE GIRLS FROM THE SUN BUT I WASNT ABLE TOO. WHEN I GOT TO THE GROW RIGHT BEFORE THE STORM IT HAD RAINED A LITTLE AND IT SMELLED SO GOOD. LIKE SOIL. I THINK THIS DOWNPOUR WILL REALLY HELP THE GIRLS. ONLY TIME WILL TELL. 6/6 Plants faired ok through the storm. The 3 earliest transplants and what WERE the nicest looking gmos are getting some burns and bleaching. It's all on old leaves though. I think they're pulling out of it and will grow through it. Some plants seem to not be stressed at all. With tje elements being the way they have I'm suprised they aren't far worse. I was going to put up my back tarp to block sunlight later in the day but I didn't. The burns are on the other sides of the plants and it's supposed to be overcast with showers for a full day. It's clear right now but the new growth and tops of the plants seem fine now. When I got there a few were limp. As soon as the sun came up though they all perked back up. Only time will tell. 6/7 Showers today. It's good to have a break from that horrific 80-90 degree weather with 90% rh isn't run for me or the plants. Plants are recovering from the burns quite nicely. Obviously the burnt leaves won't repair but they did a good job of shielding some of the others. Things are going. 6/8 Still overcast with showers. I removedc a couple burnt fan leavesxand accidently ripped off a bud site. 6/9 Another overcast day. Rained last night. Soil is saturated from all the rain we've gotten. Plants seem to be settling in nicely. The 3 GMOs that WERE the best looking plants are the ones in the worst shape. The got transplanted a day earlier in a lot of sun and wind. They're coming back though. I've noticed that after it rains and they get even a little sun they grow significantly. Those event horizons are tough. The toasted toffy is a reveg but it looks like its going to be a huge plant. I have the 3 seedlings still in small pots. I'll transplant them soon. 6/10 Overcast and a chance of showers. I removed a few bleached fan leaves on a few of my GMO'S that strain took the most damage. They are bouncing back though. We've had a few dayscof rain and milder weather. Few more days with a chance of showers then back to the sunny days. Plants seem to have come out of shock and out grown the light burn. After the rain, when the sun comes out they grow a noticeable amount. Things are still going fairly well. 6/11 Rained and I didn't do

Questa bella ragazza, ci ha lasciato letteralmente a bocca aperta. Dopo un piccolo problema durante le prime settimane di vita (foglie che presentavano punte ad artiglio verso il basso), la BISCOTTI 🍪, ha saputo riprendersi velocemente producendo dei buds gonfi e grossi! La cima principale era talmente grande che al suo interno ho trovato un pochino di principio di marciume, prontamente rimosso. Molto forte il suo odore durante l'essicazione.

Shooting powder added to the tank and buds still swelling nicely. Looks like a great yield for under a weeks veg.

Fed nutes at 6.3 pH. Runoff was close to 7 pH. Other than that they look like they're doing well. Very sticky and very fragrant. The leaves of the CBD Blue Shark are a nice dark shiny green. The Wedding Cake is lighter. The profiles of both are starting to come out in the flowers. The CBD Blue Shark has these long, dramatic white pistils. The Wedding Cake is starting to show its creamy colouration with red hairs mixing in with the white and looking very delicious. The smell is incredible in there now. Fruity and creamy and delicious.

Day 72: The Finale 🌿🌟 It’s finally time. My very first grow is coming to an end—at least the cultivation phase. The plant is now ready for harvest, and I can’t believe how incredible this journey has been. I never expected to enjoy the whole process so much—from nurturing the plants to watching them grow and evolve. I’m absolutely hooked and can’t wait to dive into the next steps: harvesting, drying, curing, and of course, starting a new grow soon with fresh ideas and experiments! While it may not be the largest yield, the quality of the buds speaks for itself. The time, love, and care I’ve put into this grow is visible, and I’m pretty proud of the results. I’ll admit, I was a bit impatient at times (which I think every first-timer can relate to 😅), but the experience was priceless. Here are a few interesting highlights from my trimming and harvest process: 1️⃣ Dark Phase Before Harvest Two days before harvest, I put the plant in complete darkness to encourage resin production. I'm not sure if it really made a difference, but it was worth trying! 2️⃣ Wet Trim vs. Dry Trim I decided to go for a wet trim because the buds were really dense, and I wanted to avoid any risk of mold. I’ve read that wet trimming can speed up drying and may slightly impact the quality, but this is part of the learning experience. Next time, I’ll try a dry trim for comparison! 3️⃣ Yield Update Wet, the total came in at 97grams from my plant. Trimming took around three hours, and it was actually a lot of fun, despite the time commitment. 4️⃣ Curing Plan The buds are now hanging in the tent for about 8 days. Once dried, they’ll go into jars with Boveda Packs (62% humidity) for another 3 weeks of curing. I'll update the smoke report once they’re fully cured, but I’ve already had a sample of the same strain from a friend, and I can say it’s pretty amazing. Final Thoughts on My Grow 🌱✨ As mentioned earlier, this grow has been an absolutely incredible experience, and it has definitely set me on a path to jump right into my next grow. There were ups and downs along the way, such as over-pruning, which I believe stressed the plants a bit. Additionally, I think they could have benefited from an extra week to mature. We also faced many temperature fluctuations this summer, which impacted the plants due to external weather conditions. I'm really pleased with the quality of the buds. The quantity is okay—I can’t fully gauge it yet—but I’m sure there’s more potential to unlock. I've gained valuable experience in what worked well and what didn’t. Overall, the countless lessons learned during this grow far outweigh the few mistakes made. I'm incredibly proud of my first results! As this long journey comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who followed along. I hope you enjoyed all the content. In that spirit, happy growing, and see you next time! 🌟

This week went by quickly. They're doin their Pre-Flower stretch and getting big quickly!! I added my Pre-Flower mix to them this week. My Nutrient Pre-Flower Mix consists of H20, Coconut, Bananas, Pineapple, Sweet Potatoes, Kelp, Alfalfa Meal, All Organic Non-Pasturized Whole Milk, Epsom Salts, Black Strap Molasses, and L.A.B. or Lactic Acid Bacteria. First, I boiled the coconut, pineapple, sweet potatoes, the bananas, and left the skins on as well except the coconut of course! That I had to split in half and make sure to keep the water inside to add to the boil. After boiling everything I then let it cool and then added it to a blender to blend little by little. After blending I left separate and placed into the fridge. Then I took 1 Tbsp of Alfalfa Meal and 2 Tbsp of Kelp, 500mL of the milk, 2 Tbsp of Epsom Salts, and mixed them in a 750 mL bottle. Then I took 1L of the mix and added 2 Tbsp of L.A.B. and 2 Tbsp of Black Strap Molasses and then shook the bottle well! Then I took the 750mL bottle and the 1L bottle and fed that to the plants adding 250 mL of pH H2O to the plant as well to flush the ingredients all into the plant with the H20. I wanted to also note that I choose to slowly defoliate so that the plant doesn't go into shock and also fan leaves collect light in all spectrums so taking too many off at a time could hurt or slow the growth of your plant! The amount of light your plant takes in daily is called DLI or Daily Light Index. Overall, they're really growing and have a ton of us sites developing!

THIS SUCKS. I HAD PICTURES AND THE DIARY ALL FILLED OUT AND IT DIDNT SAVE. 5/8 watered. A little less than usual. A little over 2 Gatorade bottles total. I wrote a repirt but it didn't save. I fimmed a couple gmos. 5/9 I've noticed burns but I think it's from direct sunlight from south facing windows. The blinds had a little spot where a stream of light could come in. I've put card board over the blind to minimize any direct light coning in. The 3 plants in reveg seem to be coming out of it. I've noticed pretty good growth. I switched the bloom light on for a couple hours today to see if the plants could take it. I bitched out though and ended up shutting it off. Won't be long and they'll be going outside. Three seedlings have come up. All autos I believe. I hope they don't stay stunted but we'll see. 5/10 Seedlings (3) are doing good. Soil seemed dry on the event horizons. I don't know whats going on with the toasted toffy that's all twisted up. It WAS rootbound af and revegged. Fan is blowing directly on plants and I think that may be a factor. I've got a lot of work to do. Thos site keeps not saving my. UPDATE: I switched the bloom switch on around 2:30 and checked on plants around seven and they were perking right up. The toaster toffy seemed to have perked up as well but I noticed some tips are burnt. I think it was from a hole in the blinds though seeing the rest of the plant has a good response ad well as the rest of the garden. I'll know for sure tomorrow. I worked on cleaning the cage and ill finish that tomorrow. 5/10 WATERED. USED THREE GATORADE BOTTLES TOTAL. EVENT HORIZON AMD TOASTED TOFFY SEEM TO DRINK MORE WATER. I noticed some (burns/bleaching?) On some new growth on that weird twisted toffy. Also on like a tiny leaf on the bottom of a plant but no other damage. Leaves seem to have longer petioles now which I read is a symptom of light burn. Smell significantly increased as well. The 4 GMO'S however seemed to love the light and are perked right up. I'll check on them again after I stop and check with my growing buddy and see what he says. I'll finish cleaning the cage today and I'll clean my bags. Maybe start some LST. UPDATE: SECOND TIME WROTONG THIS. I HATE THIS SITE. WENT OVER WITH THE INTENT OF SHUTTONG OFF THE BLOOM SWITCH BUG JUST RAISED THE LIGHT SOME. I SEE SMALL BURNS ON THE EVENT HORIZONS AND THE TOASTED TOFFY. NOT SIGNIF8CANT BUT I DONT WANT IT TO BECOME SIGNIFICANT. THESE SEEMED ALK REVEGGED. THAT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THE STRANGENESS IVE BEEN OBSERVING. SINCE ALL 4 GMO'S ARE EXPLODING AND EVEN THE SHERB PIE IS TAKING OFF SO I DIDNT WANT TO SHUT THE LIGHT OFF. THEY WILL GO OUTSIDE IN A COUPLE WEEKS. I THINK RAISING THE LIGHT A BIT AND MOVING THE EH AND TT A LITTLE FURTHER BACK. I'LL MONITOR AND ADJUST FROM THERE. I HAVE TO GO HACK LATER AND I MAY WASH AND DISINFECT MY GROW BAGS. I JUST CANT SEE THIS LIGHT BURNING PLANTS ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE SEEDLINGS IN THE WINDOW RECEIVING DIRECT SUNLIGHT. ONE THING I DID NOTICE ON THE GMOS IS IT "LOOKED" LIKE THE PETIOLES ON THE LEAVES WERE NARROWING. IT COULD'VE BEEN IN MY HEAD. I'LL OBSERVE AND REPORT. 5/11 I must've forgotten to write this or more likely it didn't save. 5/12 Plants looked like they like the increased light. The gmo especially seems to be praying. The burns on the 1 ev and the tt seem to be the same one as before but I'm noticing much more growth since I've flipped on the bloom switch. I've got some big pallets and am getting ready to prep for moving things outside by June 1 give or take. 5/13 already did this and it didn't save. Found my two 150watt hps lights that ice used previously with great success. However since I seem to be getting better results with the l.e.d. went at a different time of day and saw a stream of light right on a burn spot so I don't think it's the light. I went higher blocking the window and taped the blinds to the size. I've noticed lots of lateral growth. Time to train. Seedlings will also need transplant.

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

Week 10 flushing plant this week and next week before harvest!! Fast Buds White Widow has been really easy to grow the plant is strong genetically and can handle some stress and recover if your a beginner I highly suggest you give this lady a try. She smells sweet, looks beautiful with her purple hues in her buds and the trichomes just glistening from every angle even the leaves remind you of fall as she's in her final stage. I hope this motivates and encourages others to grow their own medication!!!

I wished that I could've done things a little different but the end result was fiiire! Taste like Peaches when you give it a nice 4 week cure. Wish that I could've yielded more. But experience will overcome all my flaws. But it will only get better.

Week of 9/12 The plants responded well to the Down to Earth dry nutrients I top dressed with the week before, but I wanted them to get some more sugar so I switched back to my previous nute regimen with molasses. Problem Child is finally getting in the swing of flowering. A lot more pistils making their way out so hopefully this train will keep rolling so we can get her finished before Thanksgiving😅 Good Girl has a very strong Pine scent, so should be good for reducing inflammation, pain relief and relaxation. Otherwise I think everything is covered in the video. Clearly I was not able to update after I took the photos and video, my migraine decided to kick it up a notch with the kaleidoscope aura so I had to go hide in the dark.

The stretch has started. We are on day 7 since I flipped to 12 12 light schedule. 12/28/2017 was the day we started the lights on 12 hours. I did let her sit in 24 hours of darkness which she seemed to do fine in. I have had to top off the resovouir twice she is a thirsty girl. No stress signs from the increase in nutrients. I will be lowering the amount given after a few day flush in the next week. I only increase for the transition this was something I was shown a few years back by another grower and has not let me down. I will stick to the flora trio by GH. I do not add anything else like bud fatteners as some people call them. I am a firm believer they are not needed. This is just my opinion on the matter.

clones from the seed grown plants. This is a F1 Fast strain. Photoperiod. I topped these plants that were autos. I see that topping these girls triggered something left over from the auto genetics...I have had autos on more than 1 occasion immediately start flowering. I am sure this would have had it not been a photoperiod. I have 10 clones of this and I will not be topping it until absolutely necessary. Had i not been down to 1 tent and a grow light I would have moved on with flowering those cute little things...
