This was the most beautiful grow I have done to date. There were a few mistakes I made along the way, like not defoliating enough and some over topping but I still highly impressed with the results. Looking forward to growing this again.

Es ist vollbracht. Die 21 Tage seit Umstellung auf 12/12 sind vorbei und die Babys sind untenrum ein wenig kahler und sind insgesamt etwas luftiger. Ich habe beim Lollipopping nicht ganz so viel weg genommen, da die Pflanzen ja so oder so schon nicht all zu groß geworden sind. Außerdem soll ja auch noch ein bisschen was für die Weiterverwertung übrig bleiben :) Die Blattmasse war sehr dicht, deshalb habe ich einiges weg genommen, um die Luft besser zirkulieren zu lassen und so dem Schimmelrisiko vorzubeugen. Jetzt können sie sich komplett auf die Entwicklung und den Boost der wichtigen Buds konzentrieren und all ihre Kraft dort hineinstecken um schön dick und fett zu werden. Das war dann vorest die letzte große (geplante) Stressaktion, die sie durchmachen mussten. Bin gespannt wie die Ganja Farmer Ladies den Eingriff wegstecken und wie stabil die Genetik wirklich ist...

8/22 Defoliated what needed it.with all the rain I had to remove some yellow leaves. The container plants are affected the most as the wind drys those bags out in like a day. I'll have to check twice a day. Watered a gallon a plant yesterday before going to the hospital, then went back over after and gave everything at least another half gallon. I'm pretty sure everything got their 10%. Yesterday I upped the feeding regimen to 2.5 pints a plant. A little more on the ones that looked like they needed it most. I took some pretty good pictures. I hope that's not septoria on the leaf that I took a picture of in the fire pit. Glad I sprayed that BT. I'll have to keep up with it. I'm also considering an application of plant doctor just in case. I don't SEE anything fungal bur that would suck. Flowers arecexploding in growth. Just got a text from my father telling me how my plants are "budding big time" lol. I have the bamboo I need but there are still a few individual HUGE branches that will soon need more support. Update: Wife felt A LITTLE better so I went to check the girls around 6pm. I found my canary starting to droop. I'm not sure If I gave a full two gallons to everything yesterday. One or two may have only gotten one and a half. I compared the weight with the weight of a 22 gallon bag of dry soil and realized it was definately time to water even though only one plant was drooping they were all dry. It may have been okay to leave it but i've let them dry out far too often already so I made sure EVERY PLANT got it's 10% of water (except containers) and I watered slower. I don't see any negative effects from the B.T. but i'm noticing some older leaves turning yellow on a couple plants as this explosive flowering continues. I"m just going to continue monitoring it. I hope I did the right thing and watered. If it was going to rain tonight I might have held off but they were super light. I also took a video and some pictures but my wife is using my phone to listen to music and calm down so i'll need to upload those pictures and videos tomorrow. I finished my defoliation right before dark. Good night guys. I took a nice 3 minute te video this morning but it won't upload or send to anyone. UPDATE: BAGS HELD THERE WEIGHT!!! YES!! WE'LL GET A TINY BIT OF RAIN IF ANYTHING TONIGHT AND NOTHING TOMMOROW UNTIL THE NIGHT AND RAIN THE NEXT DAY SO ITS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR MY WATERING. ID PREFER TO WATER IN MORNINGS BUT IVE HAD TO KINDA PLAY IT BY EAR. PLANTS LOOK AWESOME. IM SUPER EXCITED. SOME LEAVES ARE DROPPING BUT THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. IT SEEMS LIKE BUDS DOUBLE IN SIZE ALMOST EVERYDAY!!! 8/23 Noticed damage on a lower branch that looks like earwig damage. I put sluggo plus pellets on the ground between the pallets but I don't think that will help much if they're in the soil. If they are there their aren't many. Or it could be some other pest. It's the very bottom branch that should've been pruned already anyway. Didn't water today as we are supposed to get an inch of rain between tonight and tomorrow. My canary was sagging but it was wet? The soil was definately heavier than the 22gallon bag I use to compare. It just dries out so fast in those bags. I'll check them throughout the day. Oh and I forgot that I only have the 3 10th planet's. I kept referring to another as a "different phenome" so i dug down and found the tag and it was a blueberry cheese. Since the light dep went bad almost half the garden is blueberry cheese. The flowers look much more saliva dominant then the tenth planet or the purple punch. The BIG CHEESE in the 50 in the back had really long saliva looking leaves which is much different than some of her sisters. Anyway things are still doing good. I hope the girls csn make it the day without water. I don't want to water a day before we get an inch of rain. It is sunny and 80 though so I'll play it by ear. UPDATE: STOPPED AT THE GROW AROUND ONE. MY CANARY LOOKED DROOPING. I BROUGHT THE VIDEO AND PICTURES TO MY COMMERCIAL BUDDY. I DIDN'T WANT TO WATER BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING A HALF IN OF RAIN TOMM AND ANOTHER HALF IN THAT NIGHT. WE WERE ON THE SAME PAGE AND FIGURED TO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE AS TWO PLANTS WERE SUBSTANTIALLY LIGHTER THAN THE REST. THE CANARY GOT A GALLON. I USED ABOUT 8 GALLONS OF WATER. THE 50 GOT ABOUT A GALLON AS IT WAS DRY AND DROOPING. PROBABLY SHOULDVE GAVE IT MORE. I USED A SMALL WATER CAN TO WATER THIS TIME. THE BAGS WEREN'T SUPER LIGHT BUT THE BREEZE IS PICKING UP AND NOW IT SAYS NO RAIN UNTIL 6AM. I HOPE THIS WAS THE RIGHT DECISION. THEY PROBABLY WOULD'VE MADE IT. A COUPLE MIGHT'VE TOTALLY DRIED OUT AND DROOPY. I WANT TO AVOID THAT AS I DONT WANT TO STRESS THE PLANTS. THE BUDS ARE REALLY EXPLODING! IM LOVING THIS LIQUID KOOL BLOOM! OH, I FOUND ANOTHER APHID AN AND ANTS ON MY PLANTS. FOUND "WHAT LOOKS LIKE EARWIG DAMAGE" ON SMALL LOWER BRANCHES THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN PRUNED ALREADY. IM PLANNING TO GO AT NIGHT WITH A SPRAY BOTTLE AND ALCOHOL AND SEE IF THAT'S THE DEAL. IF NOT THE PILLARS JUST ATE A BUNCH OF BT. 8/24 It was pouring this morning so I just ran down and shook off my plants. Didnt take any pictures or do a video as it was raining pretty hard. IT is now 11am and the rain has stopped. I did not go at night to check for earwigs due to my wife needing me do to her medical illness. I've been through a lot this week. That's why I asked my buddy before I DID ANYTHING. It's a GOOD thing my bags dry out so tast but it means I REALLY need to keep on top of it. I'll make sure I get sleep and a decent meal and I'll check things out later on today. If I see cause for alarm I'll come back at night. I'll go over to shake things off anyway. UPDATE: Went over after the rain slowed and shook things off. The wind came up and I remembered I had a few plants that were only supported on the main stem. Those plants are strong as hell and have branches the diameter bigger than the main stalk of an indoor plant. Still, I used the fence and the stake that was securing the main stalk and made like a triangle of string attached to the fence and the garden stake. Essentially it just makes a large triangle of string (loose) around this strong compact plant so if the wind blows to hard during the storm it will give it some more support. That was my big purple punch. I added another stake to a blueberry cheese that I FIMed with those huge colas and made sure all the nail branches were tied up. I SHOULD go check for earwigs to tonight but I need sleep. If they're there, there aren't many. I think I used the correct "their's" lol I didn't mean to. I'm losing leaves that are turning yellow and falling off. I think a few may be hungry. I'll check the diary and feed again. I'll try my ph meter as well but I really don't trust it. Everything going in is good and when I phed the rainwater it was much lower. 8/25 RAINED ALL DAY OR MOST OF IT. FOR SOME REASON MY COMMENT IS GONE. 8/26 FED 3 GALLONS TO GARDEN EVERYBODY GOT 1.75 PINTS AT LEAST. Defoliated what needed it after the storm and fed three gallons to the garden of nutrient mix. Each plant got at least a powerade bottle (1.75 pints), the big cheese in the fifty got over two as did the two other 30s. I spread around what was left after and ended up with one powerade bottle of mix left. I should've just gave it to them but hindsight is 20/20. Some plants are yellowing up a little bit and it's climbing the plant. Sunny out today. Plants are exploding in flower and we've experienced some rain but it still concerns me. I'm also concerned about earwigs. Haven't seen any and actually (happily) found a couple aphids and ants. If the earwigs were bad there wouldn't be a single aphid around. I've seen ants on the plants so I'm sure there are some more aphids. The tiny branches that should've been pruned have damage that looks like previous years from earwigs. On one branch it looks like they chewed the stem of a secondary branch and it was just hanging there. I thought I killed all those bastards but if a couple got IN the grow bags it will be much harder to catch them. The damage isn't severe and it's on a branch I was going to prune anyway. It's just the point. They seem to love any plant with "blueberry" in it. They also seem to stay totally away from any thick indica buds though and prefer longer less dense buds. That's my take from dealing with earwigs for several seasons in a row. Even if present in small numbers I think I did enough so they won't have much of an impact even if they are there but I'm going to go check anyway. Boy things are looking good! UPDATE: Went back over and it seems like a bunch of leaves yellowed on my "big cheese." I hope it's not leaf septoria. I also found one piece of bedroom on the very bottom of a plant. Just shit I shouldve pruned but still. I noticed some ants and a few aphids as well. I'm going to have to watch the yellowing and consider using plant doctor preventatively in case of fungal. 8/27 After that increased feeding I defoliated a shit ton of yellow leaves. The big cheese has lost quite a few fan leaves. It's not just fan leaves though. It seems some newer growth yellows on that plant too. I have a couple blueberry cheese that may have septoria. Or it could be overwater with all this rain. Considering a treatment of plant doctor. Buds are EXPLODING in growth. UPDATE: Super sunny day spent in the E.R. Went back and checked the girls and they looked even BIGGER!!! I'm super stoked for this fall. Wondering if the leaves dropping from my big cheese is normal. I hope it's not fungal. If it is I have several products to treat it. I might throw a question up and see what ppl think. I've tried to upload this video three times!!! I hope it gets through this time. Won't go past 14% amd I've tried four times. It's a good video too! I'll upload tomorrow when I have better service. FINALLY! 8/28 Bags were wet and heavy as hell. It should be easy to tell when its time to water but my anxiety still fucks around with me. Showed my buddy a bunch of pictures and videos and addressed all my concerns. Mainly septoria. He doesn't think I've got it. He looked through everything and made me feel a lot better. Just senescence and maybe a little over watered from the rain. He said many growers cut the nitrogen right off at the stage of flower where some of my plants are at. That made me feel much better. The sun is out and it's upper 70s at 11. Plants are exploding in growth. Lighting was good this'll morning g so I took numerous photos and videos. I uploaded one but then I deleted all my large files which apparently included tge ones I did today. During my evening check up I'll take a couple more and upload them. Boy things are looking good. Knock on wood but this is looking like my best year ever! UPDATE: WENT OVER ROGHT BEDORE DARK TO CHECK THE GIRPS. DEFOLIATED A SHIT TON OF LEAVES. IT WAS LIKE 80 TODAY. BAGS ARE STILL HEAVY HAS HELL. BUDS ARE REALLY EXPLODING. THEY LOOK BIGGER TONIGHT THEN THEY DID THIS MORNING AND IM GETTING A REALLY NICE SWEEET SKUNKY SMELL. FOUND A COUOLE APHIDS AMD I COULD DUE TO CLEAN OUT THE INTERIOR OF SOME OF TGE PLANTS. I SHOULD ALSO DO ANOTHER APP OF BT. IVE NOTICED THAT I HAVE SOME PEST ISSUES. NOT BAD ONES BUT STILL.

Diese Woche war ich fünf Tage im Urlaub. In dieser Zeit musste Blumat seine Zuverlässigkeit beweisen. Das klappte problemlos – wie erwartet. Ist das System einmal richtig eingestellt, läuft es zuverlässig – solange der Tank regelmäßig nachgefüllt wird. Die Pflanze hat sich diese Woche um 16 cm gestreckt. Ich rechne noch mit etwas weiterem Stretch, aber nicht mehr viel. Insgesamt dürfte die Streckung am Ende bei etwa 100 % liegen. Die Blütenansätze haben sich diese Woche sehr gut entwickelt. Lollipopping an Tag 21 ist dennoch sinnvoll, denn schon jetzt sind viele Triebe zu sehen, die später nur kleine Popcorn-Buds bilden würden. Diese Woche wurde es deutlich wärmer, mit Spitzenwerten von 30 C° im Grow Room. Im Zelt stieg die Temperatur während einer Lichtphase entsprechend auf bis zu 32 C°. Die Pflanze hat das gut verkraftet. Da es in unserer Region bisher nicht geregnet hat, ist die Luftfeuchtigkeit noch niedrig. Mit den ersten Gewittern und Regenschauern dürfte sich das jedoch schnell ändern. Die Parameter in Woche 8: Controller Einstellung Tag: Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit 24C°-26C°, 45% - 55% Controller Einstellung Nacht: Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit 24C°-26C°, 45% - 55% Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 30,4C° Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 27,4C° Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 53,1% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 54,3% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,6 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,3 Durchschnittliche Bodenfeuchtigkeit in Mbar: 114 LED Leistung: 40% = 120 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 12 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 2 oszillierend

📆 Semana 3 El stretch empieza a ralentizarse ligeramente mientras la planta consolida su estructura final de floración. Las ramas secundarias ya ocupan gran parte del espacio y los puntos florales se hacen más visibles en todos los nudos, marcando una transición clara hacia la formación de cogollos. El consumo de nutrientes se mantiene alto, con una planta activa y eficiente, aunque comienza a notarse un ligero amarilleo en hojas bajas por la redistribución de reservas hacia las zonas de floración. La copa se mantiene bien iluminada y equilibrada. ⚡ EC: 1.5–1.7 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Agua: 20–22°C 🌫️ Humedad: 55–65% 💡 PPFD: 900–1000 🌡️ Temp ambiente: 24–27°C 🔥 Nota: Fin progresivo del stretch y entrada en fase de formación floral más definida, con una estructura ya prácticamente estable que permitirá centrar la energía en el engorde en las próximas semanas. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Ya estoy de vuelta, hay errores con la página al subir los vídeos pero es igual, los intentaré subir otro rato si no suben ya. Estas misty gorilla auto tienen un ritmo frenético , estoy con la modalidad LST , y la verdad que con esta variedad es muy recomendable. Regulo el ph en 6,2 la temperatura no sube de 26 grados y la humedad oscila el 50%. Están bajo un CFL de 250w. Estas autos están siendo alimentadas con la gama completa de AgroBeta. Sin zambeza y sin AgroBeta esto no es posible así que gracias 🙏. Un saludo fumetillas.

5/3/24 cultivars listed in order of video appearance #1 First to pop. Last to lose shell. Her leaves are SUPER short and thick. About medium height #2 most consistent. Popped 4 hrs after her sister #1. The most consistent in growth. Leaves are thin and medium length #3 was the slowest to pop but once she did, she shot up and surpassed her sisters in size, in about half the time it took the others.

This is just very very impressive. Just a month after germination and this thing is growing like there is no tomorrow. I am doing nothing to the plant. No training, no pest control. Just ph water and occasionally some selfmade wormtea. So excited where this one will go. Will keep you updated

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

Disclaimer: This is the second plant go back a week to see a purple wonder full of fantastic trichomes that you can't miss. Let's be clear this Slurricane is a masterpiece of genetics, this time in a "normal" green color but still full of yield and with very high quality buds. It seems once again to be in California with Snoop making Bluntz of Slurricane. Technique used // In this case we only cleaned the plant at the bottom and let it grow free and happy to preserve the main cola. Better with the techniques or normally? This time we have two very different phenotypes, a plant with medium internodal distance. This time I prefer the purple plant worked with the techniques is breathtaking. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 10. The plant has an abundant resin it really seems to see the best Californian flowers. I'm not kidding. They are combative flowers, they will probably go to some competition, so we washed the buds. If you don't know how to do it, there is a great article on Zamnesia. Read the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizzanti// I am quite satisfied with how I managed to clean the plant, I did two big flushes of 50 liters and let it run and then just watered for a few days. It discolored a little but it was time to harvest, I gave 52 hours of darkness. For the reasons mentioned above and for a great taste I prefer organic. All Plagron fertilizers and additives in the green/100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose the soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Brother, if you are a stubborn "I don't put anything in it" type, use additives, listen every now and then... and then come and tell me. Fertilizers, on the other hand, are available in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. This strain is truly exceptionally Californian; usually plants bred by Europeans don't look that Californian, not this one. --- https://www.zamnesia.com/11177-zamnesia-seeds-slurricane.html Zamnesia Description // Slurricane is a premium US strain, created by In House Genetics and now available to all growers thanks to the breeding processes implemented by Zamnesia. Born from the fusion of Purple Punch and Do-Si-Dos, Slurricane is 60% indica and is incredibly vigorous. Whether indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse, this strain is capable of producing large quantities of dense and aromatic buds. Add Slurricane to your assortment and enjoy growing one of the most beloved hybrids in the United States. Slurricane seeds quickly produce very robust specimens with an extraordinarily solid structure. Vegetative plants develop a massive stem, with large fan leaves and a tight internodal spacing. Thanks to their resistance and thick foliage, they are ideal for training techniques. Opening a jar full of Slurricane buds will make your mouth water: this strain produces dense, fragrant and resinous buds that will win over even the most demanding cannabis enthusiasts! After curing, the flowers retain a marbled texture, with sparkling trichomes covering the inside and outside. The aromas are sweet and spicy, with clear notes of berries. With 28% THC, Slurricane produces a vigorous effect. Consuming it in the evening hours will make you feel pleasantly numb on a physical level and enveloping vibrations, useful for promoting sleep. Music and Frequencies // For about 4/6 hours a day my plants listen to 432 Hz frequencies created specifically for their well-being and, sometimes, a little black music to give them those vibrations that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is on ---- www.zamnesia.com

Growth has been good even with serious power / lighting issues. But with effort the plants had very little down time. The heads are starting to look thicker and continue to stack and grow. Some of the plants are more frosty then others but that is pheno variation more than anything. Really looking like we may have a substantial yield in the next 5-6 weeks. The plants are being watered heavily with 2-3 day long dry periods and it seems to make the growth after a feeding just insane.

The smell is insane and my carbon filter can’t handle it and wife is not happy. I am secretly happy. Plants are doing well. Water every 4 days or so. Just giving my last feeding at week 6… a little late. But just 1-2 tbsp of 284 power bloom from Gaia green and 1tsp of high P bat guano. Watering in kelp, cal mg, Herculean harvest… Going to be a decent harvest. 9 weeks or so from flip is what I expect. They are starting to flop over so I am lowering the trellis to catch some lower branches.

Week 6 begins for LSD and Green Crack! These ladies were thirsty! They will get an extra 1/2 round of feeding later this week to satisfy their hunger. LSD smells so fruity and citrusy and is frosty. Hopefully they'll bulk up from here to the finish line. Green Crack is just starting to show frost, she's got lots of bud development, but still waiting for them to bulk up over the next 2-3 weeks. Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚
