July 7, 2024 Day 78
This week we switch to Overdrive and stop the Big Bud. It's the last 2 weeks of flower and then a week of flush. Then 2 weeks of drying and then about 3 to 4 weeks of curing. after that, I can smoke it. Lol.
All 4 ladies got a half gallon top feed with just recharge, and the reservoirs refilled with the new nutrients. I was going to water until runoff, but I think it's just a waste at this point. Plus bottom feeding doesn't require runoff. Depending on how they feel tomorrow, I might add the other half gallon to each and get that runoff. Or very close to it.
Sour Diesel A has started picking up the pace with drinking. She is drinking just as much as C and D. Super frosty and starting to really pack on the weight. A couple branches are starting to sway at the slightest touch. Hopefully the heavy buds won't pull the branch down.
Sour Diesel B is looking great! A little bit of foxtailing and larf on the bottoms, but the tops look great! Tons of bud and big buds to boot.
Sour Diesel C is also swaying a bit at the slightest touch. I expect that from her. Her branches are strong but thin and long. Her buds definitely didn't swell up like B and D, but they are solid and covered in trichomes.
Sour Diesel D was the dry one this week. I ended up dumping the whole reservoir from the other day so I could start the new regimen. She was dry and anaerobic for a bit. The half gallon of top feed really helped. It took some time to get it all wet, but in the end, the half gallon seems to be fine.
The environment is still high humidity in the morning and lower when the AC kicks on. Currently it's 81° outside and the temp in the tent is 75°. But with my personal AC on, it drives the humidity way up. Currently it's at 62% in the tent. It'll probably climb even more now that I watered everyone.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.6°
RH: 58.0%

Not much going on today. All 4 ladies have their water and feel good.
Sour Diesel A looks great! As usual, frosty and smelly as ever.
Sour Diesel B has slightly canoeing leaves. They are also starting to brighten up. Must be getting close to the end.
Sour Diesel C has drooping leaves. Not sure why. I'll have to research.
Sour Diesel D is looking super good. Lush green leaves. Huge main cola and more frost.
The environment is the same as yesterday. High humidity, but somehow today it's below 60%. Hopefully it will go below 50% this afternoon.

Temp: 74.6°

It's picture day! Not much else going on though. Just a check up on the plants and that's it.
Sour Diesel A looks great! One issue I know I'm going to run into is sagging branches. One of her branches already needed to be pulled back up and tied to a bigger branch. The buds just weight a lot for the branch. Funny though, I've been using silica and that should have strengthened the branches. Not that they are super weak, but they are thin. I'll have to keep an eye on her.
Sour Diesel B is outstanding. Huge solid buds. Tons of frosty frost. I'll probably start checking trichomes next week. It's too early to see anything significant.
Sour Diesel C is a little lighter than the other 3. She also has some seriously droopy leaves and I have no idea why. I don't think it's a lighting issue. Underwatering could also be a thing, but she got top fed 2 days ago as well as the bottom feed system. It's moist, but definitely not as wet as I would have hoped on the bottom. I think I'm going to actually have to water to runoff with her. I don't really know what else to do.
Sour Diesel D is looking good as well. Super fat buds and super hard to boot. And it hasn't even been 3 days of the Overdrive. I can only imagine how hard the buds will be at the end.
The environment is starting to calm down a bit. Unfortunately I have to keep my crap ass AC on and it's bringing in humidity as always. So the humidity in the tent is around 59% to 60%.
The temp was high this morning at 80°. A bit warm for this stage. It should be around 74° to 75°. But it's back to the mark now.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 76.1°
RH: 56.2%

July 10, 2024
Watered all 4 ladies today. Each got a half gallon full nutrients with Recharge. Only 1 needed to get a reservoir refill.
Sour Diesel A is looking super good. I had to tie another branch up today. The frost on her buds is super insane. I'm loving it. I'm sure there is better frosty plants, but this is awesome.
Sour Diesel B is looking super good. Her leaves are canoeing and starting to point up. A sure sign she's starting to finish up. She also has 1 purple sugar leaf. So it looks like the fade is also starting as well.
Sour Diesel C is looking kind of weird. Her top fan leaves are droopy and the bottoms are fine. But it's only the big top leaves. Strange indeed. If anyone is reading this, any insights? Comment below with what you think it may be.
Sour Diesel D is super frosty as well. Her buds are massive and heavy. It seems like her side branches are starting to get weighed down a little bit. She's not even close to fading, but her leaves are a beautiful lush green. She needed a full reservoir top off today. The rest are about half empty now.
It's super humid today. 79% outside. Her temp is still right where it needs to be, but the humidity is higher than it has been lately. Obviously due to the super humid day.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 74.4°
RH: 58.7%

July 11, 2024
It's picture day! Not much going on today.
Sour Diesel A is looking really good with her super frosty buds. She seems to be holding the water from yesterday and also trimming from the reservoir. Looking good.
Sour Diesel B is amazing. Her buds are all dense and bright green like Sour Diesel is supposed to be. She's super frosty, but she is also canoeing. Not sure why. Maybe too much light? I doubt it though. The DLI is around 45 mol/m²/d.
Sour Diesel C needed more water. She was already half the weight she was yesterday after watering. She's also drinking the reservoir. So she got another half gallon top feed today. I even got some runoff. She should be good for the next couple of days. Her buds are super frosty, just like A. Honestly, I think they are the same phenotype. I thought A was more similar to B in the beginning of the grow, but the bud structure and leaves are all the same between A and C. Smaller tight buds. Tons and tons of frost.
Sour Diesel D is looking pretty good. I really wish she had taken off like she should have. I expected a much taller plant without training. It's fine though. The massive cola is making up for it. Maybe it will be a 2 oz cola. Lol.
The environment is still a mess. It's rainy and humid today, but not too warm. The humidity in the tent currently is 66%. Ridiculously high. The temp is around 79 for now. I need to turn my AC back on I think and just deal with the humidity. The temp can't stay over 78° if I want super frosty buds.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.6°
RH: 60.2%
VPD: 1.18 kPa
July 12, 2024
Not much going on today. Just the daily picture. Some observation and that's about it. No watering is needed and the reservoirs are all filled with water.
Sour Diesel A is looking great! Her buds are definitely getting super fat and swelling up. A couple tops are making little flowers all around. It makes them look even fatter.
Sour Diesel B is happily starting the fade. Just one leaf for now, but the rest aren't far behind. I'm guessing over the next week, we will get a beautiful fade. Hopefully the buds stay lime green. They are so pretty.
Sour Diesel C is looking good as well. The top leaves are still drooping, but not quite as bad as they were yesterday. I'm guessing it's a mix of underwatering and nutrient deficiency. Which nutrient, I don't know. But the top feed was the full nutrient regimen. So she should be good.
Sour Diesel D is looking super hefty. She has plenty of water and is super a healthy green. No fade though. It's only B that's fading.
A note about the lighting. I'm going to check the DLI. It should be at 45 mol/m²/d. That's the deepest red spectrum I can pull out of my light. I think I now understand the difference in wattage for wavelength. I'll learn more about this for future runs. I think I'm fine, but if I'm right, I may be able to increase the power back up to 80%, but we will see. I do t have room for the light to go up anymore, so I have to be really careful. Unless I decide to put the exhaust fan outside of the tent. Then I'll have about 6 inches of space. That may be the best plan of action if need be. The light is still 22" from the main canopy. Bringing it up to 28" will give me the ability to increase the power and get the lowers lit up as well. The supplemental lighting is or isn't working. I honestly cannot tell. I really wish I had added the bars in again weeks ago. It's too late now. I just don't have the want to do it.
The environment was way off this morning. The temp was at 78° and the humidity at 66%. So I turned my AC on and dropped the temp back down to 76° but the humidity stayed roughly the same. Now the central air kicked on so the humidity should drop fairly quickly for the rest of the day.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.4°
RH: 62.7%
VPD: 1.09 kPa
July 13, 2024
Picture Day! And this week's video.
Sour Diesel A looking really good. Super dense buds and tons of frost. Not much else to do. Her reservoir should be empty tomorrow. If not later tonight.
Sour Diesel B is definitely starting to fade. Her leaves are rapidly changing color all over. Not much, but you can absolutely tell she will have a really nice fade in the end.
Sour Diesel C emptied her reservoir pretty quickly and is still holding her weight. What that means is the plant is finally drinking. I added the rest of the half gallon from the other day. The half gallon should line up with the rest of the reservoirs.
Sour Diesel D has this stupidly massive cola for the size of the plant. Her color is still a super lush green. The frost is pretty good, but still not as good as A and C, but she has the largest cola of the bunch. Not as many colas as the rest, but still the biggest.
The environment is still just a mess. Mornings suck. Currently the humidity is at 62% with a near perfect 76°. The humidity will of course drop down in an hour or 2.

Muchísimas producción, no pese en verde, más que nada no me dió el tiempo ni las ganas... Fue una cosecha demasiado extensa y lenta, me dió varias horas de trabajo, solo retiré las hojas grandes, más adelante tocará manicura en seco.
Algunas colas más gruesas que mis brazos

Hi guys
Welcome 🙂
After more than month postharvest , I have tested this Blue Gelato #41 🍦🌱
In the end was passed 78° days in flowering for the right maturation
I can only say..
Awesome 🤩
About taste , perfume and effect
Also the grow inself was fun and not to hard
In the beginnig my plan was to growing her in a natural way
But in the end I have decide to topping her and create a multiple primary colas
And she was react very well: 1:🌳
Flowers are very dense , also after the dry and cure process
The aroma of smoke after my first pitch from a joint, obviously weed-only, reminded me a lot of Amsterdam
The bluberry taste is the first thing you feel, and it's clear and clean
Afterwards there are notes of earth and something similar to citrus on a sweet base
The effect is enough for the day because it keeps you motivated and creative too
But if you sit on the sofa and close your eyes, you can clearly feel a tingling on the forehead halfway between one eye and the other 🧠👁️
And the imagination is facilitated, expanding the creative process
For this reason it could be vaguely psychedelic
I personally love it
I want to spend two words about post-harvest artistic process😉
Personally I have spent more time figuring out the best way to have the tastiest, smoothest, cleanest and most perfect burning weed.
First I just want to say one thing...
..WEED SHOULD NOT SMELL DURING THE DRY PROCESS..
If this happens, it means that the temperature and humidity are too high and probably the fans are aimed directly at the inflorescences
The scent that is felt are all terpenes that are dispersing in the air and which consequently will be less intense during final consumption
The less trichomes remain in contact with air, the better If too exposed to air and light, these oxidize, thus removing much of the final experience
Personally, what interests me most is the taste, because it already creates the effect in itself
A bit like when you sit down to eat
I prefer a well-cared for dish with quality ingredients that leave me a great memory after consuming it, rather than a dish that only fills my stomach
Mc Donald weed vs Five star restaurant .
Sorry Mc lovers 🍔🍟🙌
Said this..
My method is that the cannabis is dried whole plant for a maximum of five days at constant and balanced temperature and humidity, the important thing is to maintain a narrow range between te ur, 20 ° or 24 ° C little changes, even if humidity remains between 55 and 60% is fine
The increase in temperature must also correspond to an increase in humidity
And so also in case of a decrease
In any case In the first few days it must lose most of its water 💧
When the branches are about to break, but still not cracking, I cut the branches one by one and perform a professional manicure
Afterwards, always with the flowers still attached to the branches, I put everything inside a classic brown bread bag (not white because it is colored and not the best)
For about two days I leave the buds inside, opening the bag several times a day to circulate air and to move the branches with the flowers
After a couple of days, the inflorescences usually have reached a good level of drying and are dense to the touch, but by pressing, you still have to be able to crush between the fingers
Explaining in words how hard they can be pressed to find out if the ur level is optimal is difficult to say
It is must necessary to try and make mistakes many times
And never be satisfied
You can always do better 😎: 1:💪
So, now we are about ten days after the cut of the plant and, at this point, the flowers can be placed in an airtight container
BASIC
The flowers are put in the vase "a moment before" that the branches break cleanly, this is important
An optimal method to understand when the right time is is to see if the popcorn buds are easily detached from the branch, without dragging with them the "thread" of the bark
Once placed in the pot, normally I leave it closed for 24h in order to let the moisture come out from the central area of the flower and distribute it evenly
After this first day, I start to open and close the pot several times a day, but always for a few seconds
At each opening I always move the flowers to allow a correct exposure to the little air present in the vase
The jars would be better not to fill them completely, but just a 3/4 or a little more
The important thing is that the flowers can move easily enough
This process generally lasts about four weeks, and every seven days I decrease the number of daily openings
Usually, after the first week, the scents that will be created begin to be felt
And this makes us realize that we are on the right track 🛣️🚀
After four weeks, if everything has been done in a workmanlike manner, the perfume will be pungent and intoxicating and the flowers will be dense and oily to the touch When the humidity level appears optimal, I insert a bag from the Boveda series to keep the ur around 62%
In all cases, I personally start using my flowers constantly two months after cutting 📆
I noticed that in general, Haze-type Sativas are tasty even after only a month
For the Kush the optimal terpene profile I appreciate it in the neglect only after a couple of months
In this way the flowers will be extremely fragrant, crunchy and smooth in flavor once consumed and always create a clear oil all around the rolling papers
As you can appreciate in the videos what place, and that I hope to be able to post for much longer every time I conclude a new cycle
You need to savor a lot of cannabis in order to have a clear idea of how a high quality finished product should look 🔥👌
This is my thought about our true works for having the best , I hope it can be useful 😉
About the Living Soil with my High-Brix formula
Like I say week by week , for this lady I have use a 20l geotextile pot with around 1/3 of the Living Soil I have made ( in this case in november 2019 )
First thing to say is
Trought this metodology we're not feeding the plants , but the soil ☝️
Basycally the important things are principaly four
Soil energy
Cation exchange
Microbial activity
Mineral balance
Soil energy is kept high with humus
Cation exchange with rock powders
Microbial activity is achieved with innoculants and some teas or other
Mineral balance is achieved by adding the micronutes and having everything in the right ratio's
For doing this I have use a base mostly of
light-mix soil with already perlite inside ( classic cannabis soil )
coco nut
humus
zeolite
then I have add
Neem soil , Kelp , Krill , Azomite , Basalt , Gypsum , Calcium Carbonate , Phosforite , Alfalfa and Leonardite
Then I was have "cooking" it for a month an half
And this was the engine that allowed the plant to stay in constant health, keeping the Brix level high 🌳🔥
During the flowering time I have add mostly only water , one times a week with molasses for feeding the microbs
I have also make a humus/nutrient tea for she and her sisters , just one time
I'm feel good doing in this way , like it and I understand so many more things about the lives into the ground in general
But just for be precis..
For having the high brix in plants we must need obviously a good soil with a right nutrition way, but we have also to maintain the environment around her in the best condition
Temperature , ur , right water dosage in right time , good ventilation and fresh air
The balance it's the key
Like in our daylife 🙂
And obviously a fundamental it's
First , the right strain selection from serious breeder 🏆🔥
Second , passion&love 💚 (Don't look for them in a growshop)
So, I think I said it all
I apologize for this long review
But I wanted to explain the best of the things that personally took the quality of my cannabis to a higher level
Thanks for everybody stopping by here in this few months or just now for the first time🙏
Thanks Barney's farm for create this and more strain 🤝
And like as always thanks the people behind Grow diaries for maintaine this creativity space👏🙌👉💪🏅
Hope you was enjoy
Or at least , hope you are stoned like me right now 😁
See you somewhere
Always growing 🌲
Looking for a clouds ☁️
Ciao ✌️

Всем привет.
Все-таки решил в начале недели перевести на 12 часов и, в принципе, оказалось очень вовремя. Оно еще подрастет сантиметров на 15 к пику цветения и расстояние до лампы будет прям идеальное.
Помимо этого удалил много веток на нижних этажах, чтобы всё шло в основные, а не в мелкую поросль. Так и получилось, растение начало активно утолщать основные ветки и стало еще расти вширь.
Листья чувствуют себя очень хорошо, ни единого намека на передозировку или дефицит. Есть небольшой профицит азота, но его совсем чуть чуть. Старые листья, где начался некроз от чрезмерной освещенности, чувствуют себя отлично, некроз прекратился, а листья позеленели и работают на все 146%.
Листья стали расти с 11 лепестками. Воды пьет по 2 литра в сутки, корневая разивлась очень хорошо. Нам 35 дней и мо скоро станем еще красивей и будем радовать бутонами цветов.
Всю неделю подпитывал 700PPM удобрениями на вегу. Следующею неделю буду комбинировать вегу и цветение.
Спасибо, что заглянули. Всем огромной удачи!

Week 7 – Lemon OG in full swing 🍋🔥
We’ve entered week 7 and things are moving strong!
Buds are stacking up nicely and getting chunkier by the day. Pistils are bright and reaching, trichomes are beginning to pop – this run smells like success already.
There’s one girl in the back-middle acting a bit dramatic – some light potassium-related signs showing up. Could be linked to CalMag interactions, but nothing alarming. Keeping an eye on her, but overall everyone looks green and thriving. I’m seeing a healthy nitrogen fade on some leaves – exactly what I want at this stage.
Lights are cranked to full power (480W total) and the girls are taking it like champs. Not a single sign of stress – just hungry green machines turning photons into fat nuggets. Climate’s locked in nicely too.
Feeding highlights this week:
• 💧 15 L water
• 🌸 70 ml Biobizz Bloom
• 🌼 20 ml Topmax
• 30 ml CalMag
• 2.5 g Epsom salt
• 💩 15 ml GuanoKalong Liquid
• ❌ No molasses this time
Can’t wait to see how they frost up in the next days.
The lemon is loud, the growth is proud, and the buds… oh man, they’re plumping hard. This is going to be a juicy harvest 🍋💪
Stay tuned, fam.

Keep it green. Keep it growing.

Hello growers,
-April 22-
MK2 has already starting to show vertical growth which is very surprising. She was given some left over alfalfa tea (0.1L) and has getting sprayed with water every 2-3 days.
MK1 was moved over to her new home which is 3 gallon pot. (Ran out of 1 gals). She is a lot slower but roots did start to show around April 18th. She has a cup over her to help keep her RH up. She also has a little yellowing of the leaves but very minimal.
-April 25-
MK2 got some serious growth going so decided to start LST. She did have some red stem issues so nothing major.
MK1 still coming a long at her own pace.
I'll also add some update pics of the mothers as they go through flower. Not every week as this diary is for the clones.

What up family, weekly update on these girls. I raides the lights 6in this week to allow some stretch but still keeping 400-600ppfd at the canopy level. Over all they're progressing beautifully. I started adding 2.5ml/gal of Athenas Blended line Grow A & B. Haven't seen any burnt leaf tips so I think they'll be OK adding a little boost. All in all Happy Growing.

Entering 2nd week of flowering...
Mainlining for the 1st time.
Largest plants of all
Each plant has 8x nodes. Topped 3 times.
Tied down to create an X style frame.
2x on this run
2x seedmans strawberry Banana grape in 5gal pots (1m2 tent) to compare.
But strawberry Banana as a strain seems to be a big grower

This was an easy to grow strain was neglected the first half of the grow during my move, in saying that it still went well no pest problems or diseases will grow again in the future hoping to get it bigger under different circumstances, definitely recommend the video was a week or so before the chop I forgot to take drying pics 😭😭🤣

At the end of week 10 the 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS are ready to harvest. The plants have all started to fade and get yellow leaves and hardly have any whit pistils anymore. I check the trichomes with a handheld microscope and see that they have all turned milky and some even amber...now is the PERFECT MOMENT to harvest them, they have reached PEAK-THC now. The colas on each plant are HUGE and COVERED IN TRICHOMES. A strong 'hazy' aroma is filling out the tent, its an earthy and mildly sweet smell, very enticing, I cant wait to try my medicine after its dry. The plants on the left side under the LUMATEK ZEUS 600W PRO are less uniform (=some are taller, some are smaller) and less compact than on the other side. The right side under the two SANlight Q6W-Gen.2 LED-lamps has grown more uniform (all plants have almost the same height) and with more compact buds. The trichome production was very good on both sides, the quality of the buds is OUTSTANDING!
