The ninth week of flowering is now over and the last days of the ladies have begun. The stated 9-10 weeks flowering time is definitely correct. One plant of the Hardcore Zoap was ready a little earlier, but as I want to harvest everything at once, everything is left standing until the majority looks ready. I also preferred to harvest the plants a little more mature than too early. In terms of appearance, I like the Miracle Gushers flowers best, as they have a fine and compact structure. The Banana Creamz seem to be able to develop very thick flowers, whereas the Hardcore Zoap seems to have the lowest yield. I will be able to say more after drying and weighing.

Plant at the front #3 has had slowed growth but buds are filling out pretty well now, pretty sure she is a Orange sherbet. Back 2 are on week 3 day 17!!! & Are going Awesome, buds stacking up & down every branch! Going to get some really good Cola's of them! They are loving the 730watts!’ of light, back left plant looks like a Tropicana Cookies, going to do some defoliation on her & tie branches down a bit to open up middle of plant to allow more light & air to lower bud sites.

This week was hottt. I have been out sic l8ly sorry 4 no updates. The girls r still growing strong. With very little maintenance. I gave them each 5 gallons of water with nutrients on Sat, (early morning since it was a heat wave) I defoliated (the lower branches became shaded out) and now the little bushes are taking upon a more tree like appearance. They are all just under the 7 ft roof, with training. They were hitting the roof and getting wet (morning dew), so i put more fans inside, (also the 90+ outside temps). No problems with heat. I will start making preparations 2 switch them 2 flower at the end of this month :)

Hello, my green journey companions! What a thrilling odyssey it has been, and here we are, standing on the cusp of the harvest. The time has come for the Last Report Before the Harvest for our beloved Jealousy in the Power Buds competition. Jealousy, in all her botanical magnificence, has gracefully faded out to black, and the emergence of those stunning black leaves is a sight to behold. It's like the grand finale of a cosmic ballet, where every leaf dons a cloak of darkness, contributing to the dramatic allure of our green empress. Now, let's talk trichomes—the celestial jewels of the cannabis world. As they shimmer like stars in the night sky, the majority have taken on a cloudy appearance, which is precisely where we want them. The cloudiness signals that the THC is at its peak, providing the perfect balance between potency and flavor. This is the sweet spot, where the magic of cannabinoids and terpenes converges to deliver an optimal sensory experience. The abundance of trichomes, akin to stars in the sky, is a testament to the genetic prowess and care that Jealousy has received. Each tiny crystal is like a botanical gem, contributing to the overall potency and character of the harvest. The trichomes are the storytellers of this journey, capturing the essence of the plant's journey from seed to bud. And now, let's talk about the olfactory symphony that fills the room. The mix of strawberry bubble gum and candy is nothing short of aromatic alchemy. I'm glad you have a good carbon filter; otherwise, my neighbors might start wondering if Willy Wonka decided to open a strawberry-themed factory next door! lol The joke aside, it's a testament to the incredible terpene profile Jealousy possesses, creating an olfactory experience that is both enchanting and mouthwatering. As Jealousy rests in the dark for 36 hours before harvest, it's like the calm before the storm—a botanical meditation where the plant consolidates its energy for the final act. The decision to harvest at day 63 is a culmination of careful observation, from the germination report to the present moment. Reflecting on this journey, it's been a rollercoaster of green emotions. From the excitement of germination to the strategic moves during the vegetative and flowering phases, every decision has shaped the destiny of our botanical queen. It's like watching a masterpiece unfold, stroke by stroke, leaf by leaf. And now, the traditional shout-outs. A grand salute to Zamnesia for providing the seeds that set this journey in motion, to Plagron for the nutrients that fueled the growth, to Grow Diaries for being the platform on which we share our horticultural tale, and to the incredible community for sharing in the collective knowledge that enriched our green adventure. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your own green odysseys be filled with as much joy, learning, and success as mine has been. Here's to a harvest that exceeds expectations, to the culmination of our shared green dreams, and to the anticipation of what lies beyond. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only.

Looks good, tastes better but the yield was poor and I put this down to the algae and the fact it’s my first time growing in flood and drain, first time using Canna Coco A&B & first time trying loads of small plants to try and achieve the same yield as a few big one. You live and you learn

The Blackberry Moonrocks have a really solid structure, they're looking super healthy. They're nice and big, but it does seem like they could be stretching a bit more. We might need to adjust the lighting or the nutrients to encourage them to grow taller. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet!

I finally topped them for main-lining. Will stay in vegetative cycle until they ready. ✌️🏼

Hi growmies, The only plant that kind of almost strived during the heat we experienced while I was traveling. She keeps on developing an amazing root system and finally started to stretch since I flipped her a week ago.I have tide her down quite a bit and have remove a lot of the inner foliage, as well the unpromising shoots in the lower canopy. As of now, I am counting around twenty promising looking colas, which should fill the tent nicely. Depending on her continuing stretch I might ScrOG her, but hope that won’t be necessary at her current size.

4/7 Day 31 (AM) - Things have been going relatively well over the last several days, with the exception of the one plant that has been unhappy throughout the grow. I did some light pruning to remove brown/dying fan leaves from the struggling plant but have otherwise been focused on tucking leaves under future bud sites, and keeping an eye on the two that were topped late in week 4, both of which are sending out new shoots. All seem to want nutrients now. I've been very light-handed with the nutrients but started giving them small amounts at least every other watering. At week five it feels like a lot of things are on autopilot now, just normal maintenance like topping off the humidifier and occasionally poking my head in to check on things. Glad I didn't abandon the sickly plant. New growth looks healthy, and it just might pull through. Update (4/8- Day 32 AM): Feeding was very well received by all plants. It's taking some getting used to. I tend to use very little in the way of fertilizer (have read too many horror stories). Still, these guys are showing signs of being hungry on a regular basis, and their daily uptake of water is considerably more than when I started. For the time being, I have been using about 50% of the recommended amount of FF Grow Big, close to a normal recommended amount of CalMag, and about 50% of the recommended amount of P-K (due to deficiencies noted in some leaf margins). I've been testing the runoff and it's coming out between 6.5-6.6 consistently. No signs of drooping or overwatering. Right now, they appear to be happy if watered about every other day, and they're taking on about 1/2 gallon each pretty consistently. Next time I'll probably use nothing but pH adjusted water, just to avoid nutrient build-up.

63 days!! The girl is still not blooming for reasons I don't understand :D this is the first auto girl that spends so much time in vegetation :) the problem is that I have to go on vacation for 3 weeks in August, so I don't know how I'm going to get out of this situation :( other FastBuds varieties always bloomed +- 5 weeks and here it is already 9!!!!

These girls are just days away from harvest! I will closely monitor their pistils, calyxes & trichomes throughout the week so I can determine exactly when to give these girls their two days darkness before chop! They are all starting to fade out really nice and the smell just keeps getting stronger each and every day! After this last feed/flush I will only give these girls R/O-Distilled Water with nothing added whatsoever. Please enjoy the videos I posted of the girls! Thought I’d add some music to the videos vs loud condenser microphone picking up fans 🤣 Only videos for now, I will post actual pictures and macro shots throughout the week before harvest. Update: 9/7 The pistils and trichomes are about right where I want them. I’d say I have about 90% Cloudy, 7% Clear & 3% Amber Trichomes. A majority of pistils have gone from white to amber and have retracted. The girls have stopped drinking water so I transferred them to my darkroom to finish off for two days. After the two days I will chop and hang at 67°F @ 55%RH for 8-10 days until the stems begin to snap.

Average grow maintenance effort, slow growth, small canopy but not really any issues. I will update all the weights, taste and all that crap soon.
