-Defoliated this past week. -Flowering looks good so far. -Plants beginning to smell good again.

Finish 🔥

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 60 days and flowering stage was 70 days total (harvested tops at day 63th) the total weight of dry buds was : top buds 174 G + lower buds 55 G = 229 G my overview of strain with details: the seeds: unfortunately i only got 1 seed cracked out of 5 so i will not know how much this genetic can get different but at least i got the chance to grow once of this wonderful strain the plant : in every stage you can ensure that you are dealing with a high level plant , she will get big so you have to control her height LST and SCROG highly recommended , will grow very well with tick stalks and big fan leaves , has good resistance for stress and will respond very well to stress trainings , she really has gorilla power in herself , fresh buds on plant : buds are very compact and dense even from start , fresh blossoms smells like pineapple and mango , 2 different shades of sweet smells like you hold 2 junks of pineapple and mango in your hand and you smell them together, she is a trichome and resin factory , very very sticky , very oily , strong smell dried buds: very compact and dense , hard as rocks , has dark colors with purple hues inside it , it smells sweet smoke : very smooth and sweet like lollipop , pineapple , mango like , after 2 minutes it'll kick in and you'll get higher and higher with every breath , has a strange and especial high mind high mostly

8/2 Fed two gallons this morning and took some hurried pictures. Did SLIGHT defoliation of dead leaves. Didn't have much time to inspect things. I'll check things out later this afternoon. Need to go in at night and see what critters are about. Woke very late so it was a very hurried morning. Rained last night like I expected. It's 68 at 9:30 and looks like rain. 8/3 Nice and sunny and 80 at noon. Didn't water as it rained last night nor did I get a chance to defoliate. After seeing a comment about mites I decided to break out the ol 100x scope. I took random samplings of leaves on different plants. I found ZERO mites. Just because I didn't find any doesn't mean they aren't there but it brings my anxiety down a little. While looking I did notice something is munching leaves. I wanted to use something to continue treatment for WPM and any random bugs but I may need to use captain jack's. I have lady bugs and don't want to kill them but I might just have too. I don't know if earwigs are a big problem or the holes are from pillars or hoppers or whatever else. Observing the weather and the 40 degree mornings and the wind tunnel I seem to be in, I don't see mites setting up shop or sticking around too long in these conditions. Either way if I missed something the IPM will get it. I bought general hydroponics cool bloom that I'm considering switching from tiger bloom. My tiger bloom is from last year and it seems to be crystalized a little in the bottom. We shall see. This is the last year of liquid nutes I hope. 8/4 Watered this morning and defoliated dead leaves. Looking on the inside of the plants I've noticed what looks like small leaves by bud sites dying or being chomped on. Not a single fucking aphid anywhere. I think those earwigs got a taste for those sweet lower bud sites and may be causing damage. It kinda helped as all they did was lollipop a couple lower branches in spots. Still I believe it will become a problem if left unchecked. Plan is to treat plants tonight with captain Jack's. I have a little more research to do but I believe that's the route I'll take. I noticed some pillar holes and other assorted pests so I think now's a good time to hit them with the Spinosid. Plants are looking good though. I can see cola's forming and hairs coming together to make small buds. What a great time. I have so much to do but I'm so busy with the other things going on it's hard to keep up. I'll update as I progress. Plans are fluid. 8/5 Topsoil was dry despite the rain we had so I watered and defoliated what needed and pruned some inner branches I missed yesterday. I don't like leaving exposed matter when it's wet. It's not supposed to rain until around 1pm. I'm getting frustrated. I can't find the earwigs anymore and "life" had kept me from being the best gardener I could be. Last year I woulda been out with a spray bottle every night looking for them. I need to visit the garden at night. I think I need to lower my pH too. Hopefully the apple cider vinegar spray I plan to use will help some. The water going in is good so I don't get how the pH is higher at the root zone. I've seen random damage from different pests. Tonight I'm putting petroleum jelly on the stalks and anywhere the bugs can climb up. I also plan on spraying spinosid tonight. I will update as I progress. The traps I made haven't caught a single bug. A little frustrated this morning but the garden looks gorgeous. 8/6 Rained last night. This wet weather sucks. Found a couple spots where bud shoots had been eaten as well as other tell tale signs. It's got to be those earwigs. I've researched my ass off and have none of the normal pests I usually would this time of year. Especially aphids. I have lady bugs but no way they controlled pests this well. More likely the wigs ran out of food and got a taste for nice cannabis shoots and leaves. I can't seem to make it happen at night so this morning I liberally sprayed all plants with a gallon of captain Jack's dead bug at 2tbsp a gallon as recommended. Spinosid works good and I've used it in the past with BT. Should take care of whatever. I sprayed around the cage too but I couldn't find anything. I read Spinosid is good at controlling those fucking earwigs too. Did you know earwigs are 20 million years old and the only species in their genus. I certainly didn't. I see leaf septoria all over the foliage around. By around I mean just driving or walking in the woods. It seems bad this year. At least it hasn't gotten to my garden yet. Garden is away from most other vegetation. I have ONE plant In that 30 gallon tote at the back outside my cage that I can tell has leaf septoria 💯. I don't know if I should cull it or try to fight it. I'll pick up a copper based fungicide and try first. I'm at that point where this plant was just extra and neglected so maybe it would be better of somewhere else. I may just isolate it. Hurried morning. No time for defoliation not pictures. I will update as I go. I will start apple cider vinegar spray probably tomorrow after I feed. I'm researching how to check my pH with an indicator liquid. Maybe I can get a better idea of the pH at my root zone. Those soil meters suck. Update I went for a hike just to check out the foliage in the area. I'm lucky. Japanese beetles have stripped a lot of vegetation around here but have luckily left my cannabis alone. I've killed like four total. I also noticed tons of fungal infections in trees (different area from my grow but within a mile). Hopefully I can come to decision about treating or culling that plant. 8/7 Looks like it's going to be a good day weather wise. Like I said my tiger bloom has what seems like small crystals that rattle when I shake the bottle. I know it's probably better to use one line of products but I switched to GH liquid cool bloom 0-10-10. It came highly recommended so we shall see. Plants seem to be doing well with the transition to flower. They look healthy despite the little ones outside the cage and the one with the fungal infection. Even that has nice tops it's just the bottom that looks fucked up. I think I'll bring it away from the others and attempt to treat it. Luckily it was just an experiment and a bag seed. After taking a hike I realized I'm quite lucky. Local foliage has been skeletonized by japanese beetles. This relentless rain has brought about fungal infections in trees, shrubs and even fruiting plants like blackberries. Things could definitely be much worse. I'm picking up a fungicide today to treat that plant. PM seems to be in check for now but I'll need to stay on top of it. Also need to try to get litmus paper or something to test soil pH. Meter is junk. I have indicator liquid though. I'll update as I progress. 8/8 Its been raining almost every night. Another challenge for the outdoor grower. I defoliated more leaves this morning. I noticed previous damage on bud sites that appears to be from earwigs. Also dead sugar leaves on new bud shoots down low and inside. Glad I got the Spinosid treatment in. At least whatever ate it will be dead. Need to still figure out what to do with that plant and whether it has leaf septoria or just a more advanced powdery mildew. I'm in town now and I'm planning to pick up a copper based fungicide just in case. I may isolate the one plant and treat everything and go from there. It's a large plant but seems to have lost most of its leaves. Not sure if switching the nutes was a good idea as I read that tiger bloom doesn't really expire and it's made to go with the rest of the nutes I'm using. Next week I need to stay on top of treatments and continuing to monitor for PM or other damage. Other than that plants look healthy and are transitioning to flower pretty well. Sunny and Tempe reached 90. RH is stupid high

Day 56! Watering 2.5gallons dosage every 5 days(top 1.5 centimeters media dry)--since 13 days ago! Flush starting day 58(next watering).

Tag 85 Aufgrund des wechselhaften Wetters ist das mit der Luftfeuchtigkeit so ne sache , Schwanke immer mal zwischen 40-60 % So langsam Befinden wir uns aber auf der Zielgeraden .Die buds Gewinnen sichtbar an Masse , noch ca 4 Wochen und sie sollten ernte reif sein ,aber bis dahin kauf ich mir noch eine lupe um sicher zu stellen das die Trichomeköpfe soweit sind :) Von T.A habe ich mir noch einen Flash Cleaner zugelegt und dann wird zum ende Hin nochmal gespült das die Plfanze wirklich rein ist . Keep Growing Fam , bis zum nächsten Update. 💪

Einen wunderschönen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur 26. und damit zu meiner letzten Woche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts! Was war das für eine Reise, liebe Growcommunity, von Höhen bis Tiefen war alles dabei …😁 Nachdem letzte Woche fast alle Pflanzen gefällt wurden, ist heute der Lemon Tree dran. Die Ernte-Reports lade ich im Laufe der nächsten Tage hoch, da ich immer noch eine Kleinigkeit zu den einzelnen Strains und ihrem Anbauverhalten schreiben möchte. In diesem Report möchte ich die Saison noch einmal kurz Revue passieren lassen und eine kleine Aussicht auf zukünftige Projekte geben. Zur Saison: Was anfangs mit einem Indoor-Disaster begann, hat sich über den doch an manchen Stellen (mal wieder) eher bescheidenen Sommer zu einem doch ganz passablen Ernteergebnis mit 7(9) doch sehr unterschiedlichen und auf ihre Art besonderen Genetiken entwickelt. Ich habe diese 26 Wochen viel ausprobiert und doch echt noch eine ganze Menge über diese vielseitige Pflanze gelernt (und das, obwohl ich den Spaß schon ein bisschen mache). Und trotz allem werde ich. Ich werde mich doch wahrscheinlich etwas aus dem Outdoor-Game zurückziehen und das hat folgende Gründe: Ein entscheidender Punkt ist einfach der Grund, dass man wenig bis gar keinen Einfluss auf die Witterung hat und nie wirklich das volle Potenzial der Genetiken ausschöpfen kann. Sei es unerwarteter Regen, zu kalte Nächte oder der gute alte Sturm. Die Kombination mit der langen Kultivierungszeit ist doch oft eher mit Glücksspiel verbunden. Des Weiteren werde ich für die kommende Saison umziehen und den Spot (der wirklich die möglichst optimalen Bedingungen schafft) erst mal nicht bespielen. Zudem ergeben sich für das kommende Jahr viele Veränderungen und ich werde wahrscheinlich nicht die Zeit für so ein Projekt haben. Aber wir werden sehen... Was ich auf jeden Fall beibehalten werde, sind diese kleinen Reports jede Woche und der Austausch mit den Leuten auf dieser Seite. Ich habe mich über jede Rückmeldung eurerseits gefreut sowie über das wirklich positive Feedback. An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich bei euch allen bedanken, dass ihr mich auf diesem Weg begleitet habt, und hoffe, ihr hattet dabei genauso viel Spaß wie ich. Wenn der ein oder andere noch etwas mitnehmen konnte, noch besser!😊 In der Zukunft wird es hier (Stand jetzt) eher in Richtung Indoor/Living gehen. Einfach weil man mehr Einfluss auf die Klimaparameter hat und schlichtweg mehr aus den Genetiken rausholen kann (zumindest bei solchen Sommern wie diesem und letztem). Was die Genetiken angeht, wird es spannend bleiben. Während dieser Bericht lief, habe ich im Hintergrund fleißig Seeds gehortet. Und so haben sich das ein oder andere Päckchen aus dem Hause Karma Genetics (dem Master of Sours) sowie sq1 genetics + deren Schwesterfirma Robin Hood Seeds zu der Sammlung gesellt. Ob es jetzt genau die werden (oder doch eine von den gefühlt 2000 anderen Packs), kann ich euch allerdings noch nicht versprechen.😁 Ich denke auch darüber nach, mir einen Instagram-Account für Bilder und Videos in einer besseren Auflösung zu erstellen (nichts für ungut, Grow Diaries, aber manchmal sehen die Bilder aus, als hätte man sie mit einer versteckten Kamera aufgenommen). Aber was man so hört, bringt Instagram da auch seine Tücken mit sich. Aber auch hier werden wir sehen … Da ich keinen richtigen Ernteslot für die Blueberry sowie die Theia S1 habe. Füge ich sie diesem Bericht bei. Ein bisschen traurig bin ich ja schon, dass es jetzt zu Ende geht, aber gedanklich bin ich ehrlich gesagt schon bei der Planung neuer Projekte (man muss ja in Bewegung bleiben). Ich will einige Sachen in meinem Bericht stilistisch verändern, sowie die Aufbereitung der Berichte. Für den Anfang bin ich aber ganz zufrieden. Das soll es ein letztes Mal gewesen sein ( das klingt so endgültig, ist es aber nicht). Noch einmal ein großes Dankeschön an jeden, der das hier begleitet hat. Mögt ihr immer eure Traum-VPD halten und dem Schimmel fernbleiben …😊 Peace!!

Week 9 looking good getting ready to chop down both lsd25s the big bud and cherry cola still have time to thicken up for sure

We are nearing the finish line! Both ladies look great, and the delicious aroma wafting from the tent brings a smile to my face every time. I think we should finish the run in about two weeks. 🍋🍋🍋

Harvested 445g dry bud from 300w led light. I consider it a successful grow.

Moved the whole veg tent into the flower tent😍 Done the final flush on the 2 plants in the front of the tent, should have them cut down in the next 3 days to make some more room for the rest of the ladies! Everything seems to be going good so far! Fingers crossed for harvest & cure!🤞🏼✌️🏼🌱

preparing to bloom with a boost of NPK more final LST to tie all big branches down , for keeping low and bushy

Strain was a 10/10 imo one plant became hermaphrodite, so I took it out before it pollinated the others. one of them had botrytis problems which fortunately did not invade the entire plants but only a part of one of the main buds.. Yeld: Pheno #1 about (80g) Pheno #2 about (106g)

So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

i think mexican airlines is ready for flushing. i will flush her next week smell and aroma is wonderful nore like skunky. moby dick has 2-3 weeks left i think she has more sweet smell. i wanna tell you the smth i know that its unwrighten rule that u should not touch the plant before harvest but i smoked both and they are impressive ))))

Started getting rather bushy very quickly. Those big green fan leaves at the bottom were touching the soil, so I pruned them off to get some more node growth going.

Had high winds and it took it first tumble of the grow, the burning you're seeing in the picture is from it laying on the hot roof for jesus knows how long. I just snipped the burned parts of and kept it pushing, nothing else that can be done and I didn't lose a branch so smiles all around. I have stopped training for the most part, I've learned there is such a thing as overtraining outdoors and it causes you to lose branches.

Hallo 👋👋👋 ein weiterer vergangener grow meinerseit, den ich nun Stück für Stück hochladen werde. Dies ist auch mein erster Balkongrow. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine photoperiodische Blue Sunset Sherbet von Barney’s Farm und einer Royal Jack automatic von Royalqueenseeds. Beide sind direkt in einem 8l Topf auf dem Balkon gestartet und wurden mit florgsnics ausreichend ausgestattet. Die Jack hat sich absolut prächtig entwickelt, die Sherbet durfte einige wilde Entscheidungen meinerseits miterleben. Wünsche viel Freude beim Lesen :)
