Throughout the week, I give compost tea, and fermented plant juice once each ^^ Hope you guys have a wonderful day today ^^v *** Please Like, comment & share *** Highly appreciated -----/-----<@

I just can't get my head around what's going on here hahah. But I'm so intrigued I'm going to have to let her grow. I'm holding on to the Hope she's going to be a monster. But I'm sure we'll find out in good time. She absolutely stinks.. she's nice and sticky. But so weird hahha

Day 7 - Everything seems to be going ok they are all growing about the same pace! Day 8 - They are all growing pretty equal right now , extremely happy with how things are going!✌️🏼🌱 Day 11 - one plant has some twisted leaves hopefully it’s nothing serious😫 will be keeping a eye on her, other than that they all seem to be growing great! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 13 - have a few with some weird leaves & growing a little slow, other 3 are growing pretty good! Hopefully they all do alright, fingers crossed! Happy growing friends!

So, that’s it. :-) Hemprietta is no longer among the living. After an 8-day drying phase at 45 to 53% humidity, she’s now chopped up and curing in two jars. The yield is pretty big. Due to local legal restrictions, I’m not keeping everything—I got rid of all the small stuff. What a luxury to have a selection… and how ridiculous not to be able to keep it all. :-) Oh well, it was still a joy… I kept the best buds. And damn—are they beautiful! Final thoughts: Main-lining works extremely well for a sativa in a small grow tent, even with the extra 2 to 3 weeks of training. It’s great for height control and gives the plant a solid structure, resulting in almost exclusively fat, dense main buds. I’d say the yield-to-effort ratio isn’t compromised at all. If I had kept all the solid buds (no popcorn buds), the dry weight would have been around 110 to 120 grams—which would be perfect for a two-person household. ;-) One thing I’ve learned: a 95-watt lamp might be slightly overkill for a 40x40 cm tent… Update after curing an tasting: After about three weeks in the jar, I finally had the chance to try Hemprietta. Yay! I’m really impressed with the effects—this is some seriously fine herb. I can’t decide whether it takes first or second place in my personal top 10. The high is pretty strong, which I don’t usually love as an occasional smoker, but since there’s no real couchlock, the intensity is totally fine for me. After a long, stressful day, just a few puffs completely wipe out any tiredness and make you want to be social again. A light euphoria and good mood set in. You feel focused and receptive—though whether you actually are focused is another question. At least while playing FIFA, there were no mediocre results: either a crushing 7-1 victory or a humiliating 1-7 defeat—nothing in between. Conversations are fun and quickly get silly to downright goofy. At higher doses, you get properly stoned and suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to inhale obscene amounts of potato chips and gummy bears. Great for the soul, not so great for the waistline. But hey, it works. It’s crazy how even then, you don’t feel stuck to the couch. Overall, a fantastic experience. I can fully recommend Laughing Buddha—it’s perfect for social occasions! ----- So das war's wohl. :-) Hemprietta weilt nicht mehr unter den Lebenden. Nach einer Trocknungsphase von 8 Tagen bei 45 bis 53 % Luftfeuchtigkeit ist sie jetzt zum Härten zerstückelt in zwei Gläser verteilt. Der Ertrag ist ziemlich groß. Auf Grund der hiesigen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen behalte ich also nicht alles - sondern habe den ganzen Kleinkram beseitigt. Was für ein Luxus eine Auswahl zu haben. Und wie bekloppt nicht alles behalten zu können. :-) egal, war dennoch eine Freude... Die schönsten Buds habe ich behalten. Und meine Fresse - die sind aber auch schön! Als Resümee: Main Lining funktioniert bei einer Sativa in einem kleinen Growzelt mit ca 2 bis 3 Wochen Mehraufwand extrem gut, um die Höhe zu kontrollieren und der Pflanze eine sinnvolle Struktur zu geben. So entstehen eigentlich nur fette / harte Main-Buds. Ich würde Mal behaupten, dass der Ertrag im Verhältnis Aufwand-Nutzen keineswegs geschmälert ist. Wenn ich alle ordentlichen Buds (keine Popcornbuds) aufgehoben hätte, wäre sicherlich ein Trockengewicht von ungefähr 110 bis 120 Gramm herausgekommen - was für einen Zweipersonenhaushalt perfekt wäre ;-) ich lerne daraus, dass eine 95 Watt Lampe für ein Zelt 40x40 offensichtlich etwas überdimensioniert sein könnte... Update nach Curing und Verkostung: Nach etwa drei Wochen im Glas habe ich die Gelegenheit gehabt Hemprietta zu verkosten. Jay! Ich bin sehr angetan von der Wirkung. Aus meiner Sicht ein richtig feines Gras. Ich bin unentschieden, ob es auf Platz 1 oder 2 meiner Top 10 landet. Die Wirkung ist ziemlich stark - eigentlich finde ich das als Gelegenheitskonsument nicht sooo geil, aber da kein wirklicher Couchlock eintritt ist die Stärke voll okay für mich. Nach einem langen stressigen Tag ist die Müdigkeit nach wenigen Zügen vertrieben und man bekommt (wieder) Lust auf sozialen Kontakt. Eine leichte Euphorie und gute Laune macht sich breit. Man fühlt sich ziemlich fokussiert und aufnahmefähig. Ist man auch wirklich fokussiert? Schwer zu sagen :-) zumindest beim FIFA zocken gab es keine mittelmäßigen Ergebnisse mehr. Entweder Sieg 7:1 oder Niederlage 1:7 - aber nichts dazwischen... Gespräche machen Spaß und sind schnell ziemlich lustig bis albern. Bei höherer Dosierung ist man schon ziemlich breit und hat Bock obszön viele Kartoffelchips und Gummibärchen in sich zu stopfen. Gut für die Seele, schlecht für die Figur. Passt also. Verrückt, dass man auch dann noch nicht das Gefühl bekommt an der Couch zu kleben. Also insgesamt ein großartiges Erlebnis. Ich kann Laughing Buddha voll und ganz empfehlen. Sehr gut geeignet für soziale Anlässe.

Sunday update and the stretch came in perfect – solid 20-30 cm with nice even internodal spacing. The canopy is really filling out under the SCROG now and you can already see the white pistils popping everywhere in the close-ups. Plants look healthy and happy, good color, no stress. Rainbow Melon still holding that balanced shape, Nectar is the beast as always, and Something Good has caught up very nicely and looks super solid structured. Environment staying stable. Dehumidifier came in this week and i setup my Homeassist server to monitor the grow. ill post Data next week :). Next week on day 21 I’m doing the big defoliation to open the canopy up, improve airflow and get light down to the lower sites before they really start stacking flowers. Should make a big difference. Looking good so far!

so, this girl is so amazing, she has a couple of weeks left at this point but is very close to harvest, i have started to only feed her Cal-Mag and will reduce it until the last week until just water alone! she smells so good, sweet with the sour, like lemony/mint (poison) and clearly the pineapple sweet overtones! she started to pack on her weight now and shell have the tent all to herself in a few days so she can really thrive in her final days! harvest is going to look epic! #newsetup

unstoppable :p Day 29: on the video, the 2 on the right side are the Ayahuasca Purps, the other ones are Peyote critical. getting real bushy, need to defoliate soon day 32: they got their first feeding, I only use a minimal amount of blooming nutrients. day 33: plucked some leaves , cuz there was no airflow at all, also installed a new ventilator. day 36: had to pluck some leaves again

....

Loved growing this. Sang its praises rhe whole way through because it just looked like a beast. I like the pretty Cali strains but I always find the yields are close to frustrating for abilities not up up there. Overall the strain helped me take chances that paid off so I really enjoyed it. Will grow again. Threnneighbors should smell this on the balcony this summer 😂💚🙏🏼

We've made it to day 28! - 17/12/20 The girls seem to be happy and healthy today. I won't be feeding/watering them as the pots are still heavy from yesterdays feed. A few of the girls have started to show sex & the smell has picked up a little bit(inside the tent), so I'm hoping to see some flowering begin this week sometime. (I've been using my iPhone as my only DSLR lens is useless for focusing on certain depths, but I hate the colour I get using the iPhone... I may be switching back to DSLR unless I can find a better camera app.) update - day 29 (18/12/20) Short update today. Fed the girls today and will probably be feeding/watering every day from here on out, we'll see though. veg growth has really taken off by now, I'm hoping to see some flowering this week. update - day 30 (19/12/20) I fed the girls today. I need to find a better way to hand water, the plants are so short and bushy its a pain getting in between all the branches. I wish i left my drip feed system up and running, I will definitely refine it and use it next run. Update - day 31 (20/12/20) Fed the girl's straight water today. I'm going to purchase the pieces I need tomorrow to reconfigure my drip feed system & hopefully have it running by mid-week! Update - day 32 I attempted to set up my drip feed system today but the plants are too thick around the base to place the halo around :( I will have to wait until next season to set it up, oh well, I guess its hand watering for the next 5-10 weeks Fingers crossed these girls start to flower ASAP. I fed the girls today, everything is looking good so far. I also moved the plants around to try to make hand watering easier, I had issues trying to water the whole pot instead of just one spot due to plants/branches being in the way. Update - Day 34 - 23/12/20 It definitely seems ill be watering the girls every day from here on out. All the girls look fairly happy and healthy, they're getting a bit big for the 5x5 they're in. It looks like flowering has begun on 2 of the girls, hoping to see some more progress on the others in the next few days. Thanks for stopping by! 🙏

8/1 Took another video but didn't upload either videos when I was in town. I'll have to upload later. I have a lot going on and I need to consult my diary more often. The Temps dramatically changed. I watered yesterday just a few that were light but then it poured all night. This morning things looked SUBSTANTIALLY better. I think as long as I can get some sunlight the next few days things will be alright. That streak of weather in the 100s really did a number on me and my plants. Everytime I go they seem to be looking better so I hope that they bounce back and I don't lose anything after all this work. Plants seem "strong" though. They appear very healthy. This just seems like a mistake I made that was substantially worsened by severe thunder storms we weren't supposed to get. If they don't come back before rain I may move the plants that haven't recovered yet inside the barn for the night. It really depends. I want them to dry out. I'm thinking of going and putting a fan in the cage on the smart pots. I just need to keep an eye on them. UPDATE: I was worriedly watching my plants from the cams and got a message from my father saying my plants were "REALLY DROOPY." I got there and noticed they were WAY worse then earlier and it was sunny and 70's. I got my dude on the phone and sent him several pictures. Luckily I had a second opinion also from my father. A 3cu ft bag of 707 is 22 gallons. These pots were light like that. They just have a seven foot plant in them lol. I'm so happy. I was planning on bringing them Inside tonight in case of ANY rain, luckily I was able to ascertain THE REAL problem, consult my diary and askother growers. Things are looking good. I'm so happy I'm not overwatered. 8/2 Thank the Lord! And my father for his constant vigilance and my commercial buddy for always being there for me. I went over this morning and everything is back up. Plants definitely got stressed though. I think I was OVER and UNDER watering during those days where it was 100 degrees. It'd 68 today. I say this because as soon as I watered the plants they started picking right back up. Luckily I had a dry bag of 707 to pick up and compare with my 20 gallon grow bags and had my father check the weight as well. He's a forester and told me the weight was about tge same. I gave the big blue cheese in the back closer to 2 gallons until I saw some water coming out the bottom. The reason I think I may have overwatered is that the water evaporated as i had watered during the day or at night but not the 10% that they needed. I didn't QUITEgive them all their 10% last time more like I split the difference and did a gallon amd half. Some did get two though. I noticed some light yellowing going up one of the plants that I've watered the most. These plants are transitioning fast to flower. I think I've got the watering schedule down better and that's "don't water them on a schedule". I'll have to individually take note of the plants. Also on that plant and a few others I see minor nute deficiencies so as soon as I can feed I'm going too. I'm going to show my buddy all my info and ask his advice before i take the next step though. I can't believe they made it through this. Talk about anxiety. Wow. UPDATE: Talked to my commercial buddy. He advised to pick off any of the dead leaves, (which I mostly already have there weren't many) and to wait until next water to feed. He broke it all down in a way i could understand. Then he broke the feeding down further for me so I now know where to start. He did say he thinks my only problem this year will be, "finding a place to store it" lol. I thought he was joking but he went out back and brought out five gallon buckets with screw top lids lol. This back and forth dialogue (with a professional) is seriously lowering my anxiety and giving me confidence that im doing the right thing. Hes never led my wrong and hes always been there. So has my dad. He said to take the old man out for coffee because he saved my ass! I opted for the bottle of whiskey instead. I'll be checking them later. I'm waiting to feed until next watering and I'm waiting to apply BT. I don't want to do anything to a plant that has been that stressed. I'm giving them a few days to chill. Then the twenties will get a quart of grow big, big bloom and calmag and I'll convert that measure to the same amount for the 30's, and 50's. I'm not sure EXACTLY how big that tote is but I think it's closet to 30 than to 40. So I've got a solid plan for the week. I think what I'll be looking to do next is get my supports up. The wind has been crazy but these plants (even when stressed) seemed super strong! Still no fungal stuff knock on wood. UPDATE: Had to take the car to the mechanic and snag my wheeler to make it home. I sefoliated quite a few bog yellow fan leaves and some smaller leaves down low. Plants went through some stress thats for sure. I HAD to leave my phone with the wife as she had a telehealth appointment so I couldn't take pictures. I wish I could've because things are looking great. I can't wait until things dry out a bit and I can feed! I'm STILL in awe of how my plants look RIGHT NOW and how the looked yesterday. Another buddy said If I didn't see it (and I didnt know you) I wouldn't have believed it was even the same garden! I'll check AGAIN later if my car is ready. I'm anxious to feed and get my supports up. Plants are STRONG though. 8/3 Plants looked great this morning. I did notice what looked like nute deficiencies on the plants I've watered most. After speaking with a few local growers I decided to water. I watered everything a gallon. The containers got more. The 10 got less. Then i mixed up a feeding solution of 1 tsp grow big 2 big bloom and .5 calmag and fed the 20s approx 1.5 pints. A little less for the 10 and a little more for the bigger pots. I'm going to go back over and if I see no negative effects from earlier I'll use the rest of the solution. I'm hoping this was the right decision. It hasn't been enough time but the bags were light. Not SUPER light but last time I waited it didn't work out well for me. Two local growers have told me theyve been watering daily and they have plants in raised beds and right in the ground. I want my watering to be in the morning anyway. Hopefully this works out. I'll update. UPDATE: Went back over and everything was standing up nice. They loved that water and the small dose of nures hasn't burned them so ill be able to use more next time. I used a Gatorade bottle thats 1.25 pints amd went from there. A total of two gallons was used on the garden. Things look amazing. Things are changing on the daily. I'm losing some leaves now. Well they aren't dropping off but I'm plucking them before they yet that far. I need to water in larger volumes I think. Plants are drying out too quick. Others are saying they are watering much more often as well. It really hasn't been raining and these plants are huge. I have lush green leaves but this transition and the added watering I think has leeched a lot of the nutrients from the soil. Since I have the fox farm that's what I'll be using. I still have a couple leaves that are destroyed by a fourkined plant bug. It's very identifiable so theres another I need to find. Also seeing chunks missing from leaves. I need to up my ipm game. I don't want to do more than one thing at a time though so I know what happened if anything goes wrong. Since i did the nutes today the spraying of BT or captain Jack's I'd going to have to wait. Despite losing these old fan leaves my plants are dense. Defoliating really helped with airflow. I also noticed some chlorosis on a few leaves. That's why I'm going to start doing the 10% minimum. I'm waiting until they are real dry then I'll give everyone (but big blue) their 10%. I got run off from big blue just from like a gallon amd a half today. I hope my 2 minute video uploaded. It says it dis but u bet it didn't. I'm trying again and I'm at 12%. Let's see if my patience lasts. Looks like it doesn't want to upload 8/4 Thunderstorms and heavy rain all night. It's supposed to rain steadily all day. Plants werent drooped or blown around looking or anything after this storm and I only have minimal supports up. I defoliated anything that needed it. Just a few yellow leaves on the bottom interior. More like nitrogen deficiency. I am watering to frequently though. Im noticing some chlorosis (minor) on old far leaves. Could just be that the soil is getting depleted but "if the brown surrounds your plant is drowned" and I noticed a few leaves like that. Just a couple bit i know what to look for. I hate to say it but i think ive almost got things dialed in for this grow. I will need to put up further supports. These are some STRONG plants. I shook them all off today. The seemed to love the nutes. Plants looked way better this morning than I was expecting. I need to up my watering volume to 10% everytime. I DID fine more pillar damage when defoliating and a four lined plant bug mark on the purple punch in the ten. 8/5 It's not raining right now but it Rained all day and night. Plants really seemed to likecthise nutes. I'll up it to a quart next feed. I defoliated what needed it. Found my FIRST totally yellow leaf of the season. Big old interior leaf i must've missed earlier. Smell has greatly increased. Seeing that these plants seem to have no ill effect from all this water I feel more confident about my ability to fully water them their 10%. Especially since they are massive plants. I have one daln near 8ft and it's damn near as wide. Real good airflow. I think this is gonna be my year. I certainly hope so. I need to get rid of that fourlined plant big but more importantly I need to deal with pillars proactively so next nice night I'm going to treat with bt. Super proud of myself so far. 8/6 Didn't rain much yesterday. In fact I stepped out my door and the sun was fully visible and bright while rain poured down around me. It wad a cool experience but the plants dodnt get much for water. I checked the weight this morning (heavy) and shook off the plants and did my normal morning inspection. I news to remove a pallet so I have more room. Plants are really trying to flower. Next week I'm gonna yet them with a stronger dose of nutes. Last year this was about the time I lost my crop. Knock on wood but this is the healthiest crop I've ever had. I MAY apply BT tonight. Haven't decided yet. I'll keep the diary updated. UPDATE: Went over to check the plants that were WET and HEAVY this MORNING because of the windstorm. If dried the bags out completely. Everything but the 10 was drooping right over like before. Good thing I've got some pretty good intuition. I took two videos. I gave everything their 10% 2 gallons each and for each container plant. Plants were back up by the time I was done adding supports. 8/7 Sunny this morning. Plants looked good. Had to defoliate some dead leaves. I can't believe those grow bags dried out so fast yesterday! Its just the wind was so strong! Plants were right sideways! They got some syrong roots thats for sure. One of them (my canary) seemed light this morning! But we are getting an inch and a half of rain starting tonight into tomorrow so im not watering ANYTHING. I'm not sure what I'm going to do IF anything. I added to my supports. I COULD put EVERYTHING in the barn where we put heavy equipment. I'll probably at least bring a couple inside in case something horrible happens. Things arecreally doing good. Flowering up nice. Found a cicada on one yesterday. First time I've ever seen one. I'll update with what I decide to do. UPDATE. My canary seems a little light and is losing lots more leaves im not sure if it's because of the transition to flower but I assume that has something to do with it. Plants still have MORE than enough leaves. Found a couple pillars and killed them. Took a video. I have one blueberry cheese that I hope doesn't have a fungal infection as it's losing more leaves. But it takes more water and is greener and fuller up top. I think I'm just worried because of last year. I've done what I can gor the storm so let's see what happens if I NOTICE it get too bad I can bring some indoors.

NOTES: This will be the last week of flowering. Just a couple more days of flushing with the Final Solution and I'll harvest all of them before the end of the week. Then I'll hang them to dry in the same growing tent and start the drying and defoliating process. Overall everything looks pretty good and no bigger problems have occurred. Day113 (6.2.) Today is 64th day of flowering and 13th day of flushing. Day114 (7.2.) After my lights turn off today at around midnight, I'll take the timer and lights off completely and leave the plants in total dark for a day or so before cutting them off. Day115 (8.2.) Day116 (9.2.) Finally! Cutting the plants down this afternoon and hanging them to dry. So, the overall grow time from seed to harvest was 116days with 67days of flowering, with total darkness for the last 36hours before harvest.

As you can see from the pics she has entered her death cycle. I saw a lot of the buds tightening up this week and she gaining some density.

📆 Semana 8 La Mental Rainbow entra en el último tramo afinando cada detalle. Los cogollos se compactan todavía más, cubiertos por una capa gruesa de tricomas que le da ese aspecto cristalino tan característico. Los pistilos comienzan a oscurecer y los cálices se hinchan, marcando una maduración clara. El aroma sube de intensidad: dulce, terroso y con un punto profundo que anuncia el cierre perfecto. Has controlado bien la ventilación después de la brotitis puntual, y la planta responde sin frenar el ritmo. Ahora toca dejarla limpia por dentro. 💧 Semana de lavado de raíz: solo agua ajustada de pH para que termine con un sabor puro y una combustión más fina. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Added some Universol Yellow to counterpart the KMPS which has high K. ORP dropped a lot, countered it with KMPS and POLY(DIMETHYLAMINE-CO-EPICHLOROHYDRIN). Discovered some Bananas on Christmas, the plant looked due anyway so no worries, wanted to chop her anyway, guess I was right with the timing and the plant showed me it is done and did a last attempt to pollinate itself, normal behaviour in my opinion, also the Bananas were blanks, didn't see any pollen. Chopped her on day 83 from sprout that's why this week only has 6 days. Values are average of the day.
