Day 70: The Bluedreamatic went to go big and it is all I can do to keep them happy.lol The #1 los girl is yellowing off on her top leaves but had an amendments the other day to try and address it . Could be the intense lighting still but is isn't affecting her badly so fat bud wise. #2 is getting very big mow and needed moving over to a better spot in the room for wider coverage of her budsites. #3 who was inside with the crammed in girls has some very nice fat tops on her canopy and when I look deeper into her body , can see so many developing sites too. She has been moved to a better position too now and should get 2-3 weeks to soak up some lumens. They have been put onto shogun Dragon force and boost for their finish now so let's see if they swell up as I expect they will. I am convinced that these ladies will be heavy yielders by the look of them now. They smell of fresh pineapples when disturbed too. so beautiful. at least 2 weeks to go with them I think. roll on the chubby icy buds.

this week is a bit frustrating im having some small issue with root rot im off to the store to buy some drip clean from house and garden and ill be doing a water change today i will also topped them after fourth set of leaves day 7 system flush and cleaned. adjusted ppm to 750 i will be using sterile rez from now on as i dont want to battle with pythium. added drip clean and peroxide 30% as suggested by my local hydro store now water looks pristine onto week 5 tomorow.

I'm lucky to have uploaded anything. I'll finish later. Hurricane is coming The date is 9/14 and i was FINALLY able to start a new week. I had to use the option to "take a photo" with my camera as opposed to uploading the pictures I have. I guess in the future I'll have to prepare pictures ahead of time. Or like stage them lol. Took the top half of the biggest 10th planet. It was done. The others I took the tops on have the bottoms already coming through the trellis nets with huge swollen buds. They were tiny before. I made the right choice. If need be I'll move plants into my garage. Heavy equipment fit in there. Can't move the 8ft "big cheese" in the 50 thats even wider than it is tall but I can move the ones I care about. I spent all day wet trimming those tops and taking down the dry stuff bucking and jarring buds and hanging up fresh stuff. One purple punch plant I just keep cutting bud rot off. I took a tester and it's not where i want it yet. It's bigger than the others but seems further behind in flower with less trichs? Hurricane has been downgraded to tropical storm and 90mph winds down to 50 which is manageable. I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket so this worked out amazing. Blue cheese just isn't ready yet. I mean it's huge but it's not done. It doesn't rot either. Knock on wood. The buds aren't as compact as these heavy indicas but "look" larger. Tomorrow I'll go back over (before the storm) and if that purple punch keeps just rotting I'm gonna chop it and maybe put it in with shit I'm gonna blast. As long as this Hurricane doesn't totally fuck me I'm gonna have my best year ever. I hope it misses. To everyone dealing with Hurricane Lee you are all in my thoughts and prayers. 9/15 Woke up sick as fuck. Hurricane is tonight. I've got some decisions to make. I need to chop one purple punch as it just keeps rotting more. Blueberry cheese is only a 7-8 week flower and says it's done end of September. I've been flowering WAAAAY longer and the buds are HUUUUGE. I need to look at it with the trich scope. I'm not worried about rot with those girls just heavy wet buds and branch3s snapping. The little purple punch and MAYBE one of the blue cheeses will go in the garage just to be safe. I think it's going to miss us. Or at least be downgraded and be a normal atorm like the ines ive already been through. Pretty sure the little purple punch is done anyway. The buds are rock hard. I could probably throw one through the window. It's been cold the last few days. More sun today before the hurricane. Now the question is do i want to get 3lbs of wet flower ready and transported the extractor or do I away until after the hurricane? I guess I'll make that determination after I go back and look things over. I'll remember to take pictures this time. It's the only way they will upload. Oh and I need better storage. I can't use 10 million jars. I'm getting some of the 5 gallon buckets that turn the bucket into a storage container. UPDATE: Storm has been downgraded. Apparently the rain will only be like an inch. I worked my nuts off today. That purple punch plant had way more rot. I harvested the tops off the purple punch that was rotting. Had to throw away a bunch but it wouldn't have made it through this storm. The purple punch in the ten has rock hard nugs. This morning I was checking it out and pulling buds away from the stalk on the huge colas and put of nowhere here comes a GIANT bumblebee stumbling out. I have no idea how he got that deep. I tried to help him. I got him on a different leaf (buds are super sticky) bur his leg was cockeyed and he eventually fell. I harvested most of the other 10th planet's too. I took ONE blue cheese bud. This strain doesn't seem to rot and the plants only need a couple weeks to be ideal. The MAY be ideal now and I'm just stupid. They are very large and only have a 7-8 week flower time that says outdoor they will finish be end of September. These are half my crop. I still nay bring in the 10 (purple punch) and o e of the blueberry cheese but I'm tired as fuck. If we just get an inch of rain I think tje plants will be fine. I staked everything that isn't vertically trellises. I still don't like the rain. An inchbof rain on buds bigger than a baseball bat isn't good. 9/16 Spent yesterday harvesting the tips of a purple punch and adding supports for the hurricane. Found a shit ton of budrot. Three separate times I separated it and found the bud worm. All tiny. A green one came out kind of aggressively at me. Anything that was close to any rot got discarded. These were some HUGE compact flowers. Had to add to supports this morning and it's still raining as of 1pm. The plants were going right sideways (or trying). It's 30mph sustained with 50mph gusts. We are pretty much over it though and as of a few hours ago I had no breakages (knock on wood) so I think in doing pretty good. Trichs on blue cheese looks great and tge buds are huge but the calyxs haven't changed from white. I took one blue cheese cola before the storm just in case something happened. It's an 7-8 week flowering strain and says it will be ready end of September. I couldve taken it but it looks like it needs a little more time and im gonna do my best to give it to her. The buds are big and frosty though. That strain is going to be a good producer. If it's made it through the weather last night then it can withstand the remnants. UPDATE: HOLY OL FUCK. RAIN STARTED COMING DOWN TODAY ALONG WITH THE 50MPH SUSTAINED WINDS. THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO DIE DOWN AFTER TONIGHT AND WE'LL HAVE GOOD WEATHER. WENT OVER TO FIND MY 30 GAL TUB TIPPED OVER. LUCKILY A STRING SUPPORT CAUGHT IT AND IT FELL INTO THE 2X4 SO IT WAS HELD UP ALTHOUGH THE CONTAINER WAS BALANCING ON ITS EDGE. MY BLUE CHEESE IN THE BACK WAS RIGHT SIDEWAYS. THE RAIN LOOSENED THE MEDIUM WHICH MADE THE BAMBIO SUPPORTS ALL BUT USELESS. LUCKILY THESE ARE STRONG PLANTS. I RAN STRING FROM THE BAMBOO TO THE STRUCTURE ITSELF TO "SUPPORT THE SUPPORTS. I ALSO HAD T9 TIE UP WHAT WASNT TIED. I ADDED THREE HORIZONTAL STRINGS IN THE BACK TO HOLD SOME IF THE WEIGHT AND HELP WITH THE WIND. THE BLUE CHEESE IN FRONT OF THE TARP HAD SUPPERED THE SAME FATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO "SUPPORT THE SUPPORTS" AND "TIE UPANY LOOSE ENDS. THE BIG CHEESE JUST CANT GO ANYWHERE. ONLY PROBLEM IS THE TOP TWP FEET AND IM NOT GETTING ON A WET LADDER IN A HURRICANE WITH WIND AND RAIN LIKE THIS. GLAD I TOOK A NICE COLA from the blue cheese just on case anything happens. Honestly though they've been through the worst. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice. I hope I made the right decision. 9/17 Hurricane has passed and its sunny with blue skies. Plants were dry when I went over this morning. Couldn't upload pictures as the internet is out and I still can't upload pictures the normal way. It's too bad I've got some good ones. I lost one branch high up on the big bluecheese and found a little bit more rot on that purple punch I took the tops off. It looks like we are going to have great finishing weather! This is by far the best cannabis I've grown. I tied up EVERY branch yesterday and added a ton more supports. Last evening when we were getting the 2-4in of rain i got that "feeling". My intuition has been on point. I got there and everything without a vertical trellis was hanging almost sideways. The garden stakes I was using for supports just bent over with the rain and the 50mph wind gusts and the 30mph sustained wind. I had to "support the supports"by anchoring them to the structure of the cage itself. If I hadn't done this and propped them back up the would've been uprooted. Things couldn't loon better than they do right now. I'm wicked lucky. I'll try to take some pictures and upload them later today. UPDATE: SUPER HOT DAY. NOTICED THAT ONE OF MY BLUE CHEESE WAS STARTING TO ROT AND IT WAS DAMN CLOSE TO DONE. PLUS ITS GOING TO RAIN TOMORROW. I WAS PLANNING ON THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW BUT I GOT MOST OF HER DOWN AND HUNG. I COULD'VE TAKEN A PURPLE PUNCH BUT I NEED TO MAKE SOME ROOM. PLUS THEY COULD GO A "LITTLE BIT LONGER" BUT THEY ARE ROCK HARD NUGS THAT LOOK DONE. HONESTLY IF I HAD THE MAN POWER ONE OF THE PURPLE PUNCHES WOULD'VE COME DOWN TODAY. THOSE TWO ARE EASY TO MOVE THOUGH SO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING ILL PUT THEM INSIDE. THE OTHERS CAN MANAGE WITH NO SIGNS OF ROT. IM WORKING AS FAST AS I CAN BUT I NEED TO TAKE THINGS DOWN IN STAGES. TOO MUCH WORK NOT ENOUGH TIME. AT LEAST I GOT SOME STRAINS THAT HAD DIFFERENT FINISHING TIMES. LUCKILY THOSE 10TH PLANETS REVEGGED AND WENT TO FLOWER EARLY. I CANT BELIEVE THE QUALITY OF FLOWER IM SEEING THIS EARLY. SAME WITH THE PURPLE PUNCH. ONE PLANT IS FURTHER BEHIND THAN THE OTHERS AND IT HAS MUCH LARGER BUDS. THE PURPLE PUNCH BUDS ARE HARD AS A ROCK. I GUARANTEE I COULD PITCH ONE OF THOSE THROUGH A WINDOW AND I THROW LIKE A GIRL. 9/18 I should be starting a new week but I might just keep going on this one since i cant add pictures or video. All I can do is take pictures "through the site" if I have internet and remember. It's a pain to have to stop working and have to immediately upload things. Purple punch could be taken now. Im going to let it ride until I run into problems. The blueberry cheese is huge. I'm planning to make concentrated with a lot of it. 9/19 I'm going to have to switch to another site next grow. I can't upload pictures in any way shape or form anymore. Say nothing about videos. I'm gonna finish on here and do a detailed harvest report and smoke report. If I can't get the video uploaded I'll do it somewhere else. Anyway I have a bunch of tenth planet I've been trimming and jarring. After the hurricane we got another storm with 2-4 in of rain. I'm one of the only people i know that's "minimally effected". I lost a branch but it was still hanging so i grabbed it so i really lost nothing. I tried to visually inspect every bud this morning. Found some rot but most places I found it a worm came out. That's good. At least it's not the weather that's causing some rot. Not much. Maybe a handful and it was just starting but I cut everything away from the starting rot. I specifically picked early flowering strains and am certainly glad I did. A few more days of sun and when what's drying is done I'll do a finally check if the trichs andvthen it's fucking timber. This has been one if the WORST seasons for growing in Maine yet somehow I've pulled in one of the best harvests I ever had. Both quality and quantity. 9/20 I definitely need to start a new week but I need to be IN the garden to do it as that's the only way I can take a picture. I've sampled early versions of all my strains and I am incredible pleased. I still am in trim jail with a full room but still have well over half still outside. Plant wise more if i went by weight. It's weird that the plant with the shortest flowering time is seeming to take the longest to totally mature. I COULD take it as bud rot has been prevalent and many people have lost there whole crop. I did have to take one of the cheeses. We are supposed to be getting a few nice days of sun after all that rain. I'm at least giving them that. I have two phenomes of purple punch that could be taken as well. All milky with some amber. One other phenome had much larger buds and I was losing buds to budrot so I took the tops and allowed the bottom to mature. That method had worked well for me so far. Then I get buds that are more well rounded and mature. I went up and checked whats drying. The rest of the 10th planet is ready to be jarred. I've been making progress getting it processed and put away. I need the room so I can bring more in. Found ONE bud that started to rot whete I'm drying so I chucked it. I carefully checked everything hanging and the plants outside for any indications of botrytis. I found a few spots outside 2 or 3 and removed them. I have two plants that I think I'm just going to send to the lab for extracts. I'll add some smaller flower to it. I'll update more at some point. I'll try to get pictures up but it's such a pain in the ass to upload it immediately when I've got all this work to do myself. Come on grow diaries! OH AND I HEAR THAT SOME LOCALS HAVE FOUND MY DIARY. IF SO THEN YOU KNOW WHO I AM. IF YOU DONT ASK AROUND. IM STAYIMG IN THAT CAMPER OUT BACK OF MY GROW EVERY NIGHT AND THOSE PLANTS ARE NEVER LEFT UNSUPERVISED. THERE ARE MANY CAMERAS BUT THATS JUST SO WE'LL HAVE EVIDENCE OR IF IM TAKING A SHIT AND SOMEONE SHOWS UP ILL KNOW. YOU KNOW THERE'S THREE WAYS OUT. THE GROWERS UNION HERE HAS IT SET UP THAT IF ANY OF US HIT OUR "ALARM" BUTTON WE ALL GET IT AND ALL THOSE WAYS OUT GET SHUT DOWN. ITS GREAT TO HAVE GOOD NEIGHBORS. THERE'S NO PROBLEM IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY DIARY AND SEE HOW IVE DONE BUT IF SOMEONE IS EXPECTING ON "SUCCESSFULLY" ROBBING ME THEY SHOULD PROBABLY PICK AN EASIER TARGET. ALSO ITS A FELONY TO STEAL MEDICAL MARIJUANA. 9/21 Continueing with the great weather. In that vein I'm letting the girls ride. Blue cheese I'd an end of September strain anyway. It's huge. I'll take some pictures before it comes down if it will upload and I'll have to do it the hard way. My drying spot is large and full. I'm in trim jail and the majority is still in the ground. I'm giving them a few more weeks of good weather. I'm inspecting multiple times a day for rot. Things are going good. Don't know how I'll do harvest reports without pictures lol. UPDATE: HARVESTED A BLUE CHEESE TONIGHT AND IM TIRED AS HELL. CAMPER MIGHT NOT BE BACK TONIGHT BUT IF NOT I'LL BE IN THE GAME ROOM ON WATCH. IN TRIM JAIL. TOOK DOWN EVERYTHING BUT IT GOT IMMEDIATELY REPLACED. I REALLY NEEF SOME HELP. I CANT BELIEVE I CANT UPLOAD PICTURES. IM HOPING I CAN AT LEAST DO MY GROW AND SMOKE REPORTS. IF NOT ILL DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE 9/22 I got the two purple punches in the back down AND the BIG cheese hanging. That thing took up most of the room. I'm still tired. I've got two full Plants that are totally ready and I'm planning on taking them today and bringing right to the lab for extracts. 3 to 5 lbs will get blasted. I've got a lot of work ahead of me but I can get it done. I'm plugging away and making significant progress. I'm hoping pictures and videos will be a thing again. Everyone has said this was the WORST growing season (which it did suck) but I've had my best harvest in over a decade both quality and quantity. This has been my best year. I'll update what I got done. 9/25 I've been in trim jail and working my nuts off. I harvested my 10th planet's in stages three different times. Still have two bottom plants of blueberry cheese and two FULL plants that I was planning to go straight to extracts. Thing is is that one of them looks super greasy. It's always the ones you least expect that turn out the best. I've taken pictures/videos and am very proud of myself this year. However I can't finish my harvest report on here without leaving pictures!! If it doesn't rectify soon I may just do a YouTube video on the harvest and strain review. Or find a different site. This was a horrible year for most but it was one of my best ever. Thanks everyone for stopping by. I'll update what I do with the final two full plants and I'll try to complete harvest reports and smoke reports. It really sucks that I can't upload pictures. 10/1 Everything's in. Bags are ready for extracts and both quantity and quality are tge best I've done. BUT @GROWDIARIES I CAN'T UPLOAD MY PICTURES SO I CANT DO A SMOKE REVIEW! ILL TRY ONE MORE TIME TO USE THE "CAMERA" FUNCTION TO TAKE A PICTURE BUT THAT WASNT WORKING EITHER. WHAT A DISSAPPOINTING END TO THE SEASON

I put the plants into an NFT system couple weeks ago. I could have waited a bit longer for the plants to develop a stronger root system before placing the rockwool cubes into NFT but I was being impatient because of the slow start and wanted to get the plants under proper light. Now two weeks later they are growing well with good root development. I switched the lights to flowering cycle about a week ago so they should start stretching soon. No preflowers yet.

Only watered with water this week and runoff ppm still shows around 1000. There is no burning so it seems Bio tabs did their job. Removed the SCROG at the end of this week in preparation for harvest. Harvest will be tommorow at day 176 ( 71 from flower) Trichosomes seem around 50% cloudy with around 25% amber and 25% clear. Chopped her Day 71 from flower, completed budwash with 3 buckets solutions using filtered water and lemon juice, soda b and , hydrogen peroxid 3%, only using very low amount compared to Doc Budwash tehnique found on forums cause I didn't have more then 250 mL at home. Weight is around 2.5 KG wet before washing. Now trying to achieve stable humidity around 50%, 60 % and planning to start trimming i na few days....

Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 3 Veg Phase Ayy, what it do fam? Zuppler back on the check-in with that week 3 veg report, live from the capital. Yo, these girls ain’t playin’ no more – they really startin’ to stack up, lookin' thick in the canopy like they preppin' for somethin’ big. We still runnin’ that Advanced Nutrients like clockwork, straight through that RO water, keepin’ it pure as a Miami night breeze. The nodes are gettin’ tight, leaves spreadin’ out nice and wide, takin’ all that light. I hit ‘em with a little scrog, just a lil’ bend here and there, makin’ sure that light hit every corner of the canopy. You already know I’m tryin’ to maximize that potential. Stems got that thick structure, and no signs of nute burn or nothin’. We’re talkin’ flawless execution, fam. At this point, it’s just watchin’ ‘em fill out, keepin’ the environment dialed in and lettin’ ‘em do their thing. We’re settin’ the stage for a strong finish when we flip ‘em to flower. Zuppler out, stay blessed.

Day 26: the girls are starting to smeeeelllll aloooot! They haven’t popped the hairs yet but almost there! I just want them to start stretching soon so I can use my net! They are to small for that right now but in a week maybe 😃😍 Day 28: hey last day of this week. I can’t wait to see these girls flower. I won’t train them so much more because I need a faster harvest this time. My last grow I trained them like this until week 5/6. So I will let them stretch and start using the net. I connected my autopots yesterday and everything seems to be just fine. Mars hydro SP3000 High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w, increasing your yield 50% or more compared with old blurple and HPS lights, 300 watts output. Dimmer knob added, more convenient to adjust the brightness. Up to 30 lights can be daisy-chained and control together on just one light, or just have one light in 120x60 tent. https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/

White hairs so definitely flowering. Plants 1-4 are all positively female. Plants 5-6 still pre flowering but look female. There may be no males for breeding. I will resume nutes soon.

Looking sweet. Stretch has now slowed down and there’s plenty of frost starting to show. In a few weeks there’s gonna be some beautiful buds if they carry on like this. Slight bit of burn at 1.2 but nothing major. Still nicking the odd fan leaf here and there to let the light down. Don’t really think it affects them when they’re strong like this and I’d far rather have the light getting down there then not. Roll on next week.

Esta semana fue generalmente bien, salvo por los intentos de supercropping (primer intento) en 5 apicales de los cuales 3 de ellos estan bien, me imagino el supercropping funciono bien, salvo en la de la Royal Gorilla que siento que la doble mucho que casi se rompe, pero no le paso nada menos mal jajaja. La dosificacion nutritiva fue la misma de la semana pasada agregando 1 ml de top max junto con el riego de biobloom. Hasta el momento todo bien. Saludos!!

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️
