So the LST was going great until I accidently snapped the main stem. felt horrible but didn't give up and taped it back. couple of days later the leaves seems kind of dead but I saw new growth so I guess it worked!!!! other then that, stretch is now going hard.

Day 50 Flowering: Hi growmies. A great week again with these gems. They are all now in their final stage of flowering and I expect them to swell a little more and also to begin the ripening of the trichromes to all cloudy with a few amber ones. They are all doing really well and look to be fed as they need and also no signs of any deficiency. I do kot flush as I am in Living organic soil/coco and also do not use salt based nutes throughout the grow to need to wash from the medium. I also do not believe that flushing has any benefit besides error correction or to reset the medium again. With a slow dry , they use all the harsh chlorophyll that is mistaken for nutrient traces often in quicker drying methods. Herz Og by her standard growing cycle , should be finishing now but I think she can be easily pushed another week or so. Her smell is really sweet now up close with a nice tacky feel to her too. She isnt a big plant but is really well laid out for those pollen transporters to sand the wind to get through . Strawberry Colais am absolute trichrome monster. She is really packing the trichs onto her budstacks and sugar leaves tonwjere they don't look real close up. The camera focuses and tries again to refocus when I take pics of her .lol Certainly knew of the heaviest trichrome producers I have grown to date... I can see hownthe cola name is relevant too with how "fizzy" they appear . She smells candy sweet and very nice . Monster Mash looks alone and like the lanky girl at school who tries to look smaller. lol Her buds are fairly spaced out on the long stems and look more clumpy than joined up. I had to bend the main one over to allow the lights to be kept even for the other plants but she is getting more light to the lower portion now. Her buds are not very fat or chunky yet but i am hoping this week and the shogun Dragon force will help change that. Smell wise shebjas a fuel/sweet aroma to her which is familiar. lets see how she finishes now. So it seems that this last few weeks will sort the wheat from the chaff with a yield report soon. These strains have been very simple and easy to grow and manage with very little effort on my part. If your up for a grow with an auto , definitely consider these genetics from Exotic seeds , my experience so far has been all positive and their end results are top shelf buds and taste. Great work Exotic breeders and staff alike. Roll on another week and diary report. be safe and well folks.

12/19/2025 What a ride! So many screw ups on my part and she still came through! I was gonna wait for tomorrow, but after checking trichomes, I decided to harvest. Another reason is because I just popped 2 new seeds. So they'll need to go in the 3x3 soon enough. I'd love to try this strain again without any issues. Lol. She came out at 41 oz. Not bad. So I might get like 4 to 6 oz out of her. Can't complain for that. 12/20/2025 Day 1 and we are looking great! Temp is at 61° f and the humidity is hanging out around 57%. I have it set to 56%, but it likes to hover over it. Fine by me! So I'm guessing around 10 to 12 days. I have 2 seeds germinating right now. It should be a couple days for Germination and then about 10 days (hopefully a little more) in the seedling stage. They'll be moved into their buckets in the main tent. The problem is the 10 to 12 days is in the main tent. Granted I can always move her to the Drying tent after Papaya Cookies finishes up. But that'll be another 7 days or so. Maybe I should do that. I still have to clean all the equipment and wipe the walls down. Should take me just a day to do that. And another day to get the environment acclimated back to 77° and 60% humidity. Anyway, that's all for today. Let's hope it all pans out and I don't have to move her to the dry tent. I just don't want to move her at all. Not until it's trimming time. (I have to trim in the tent so I don't overwhelm my apartment with weed smell. Otherwise I would trim right in my living room. I remembered something. The roots of this little lady were super clear. Not clean by any stretch of the imagination, but but definitely clear. Especially in the pebbles. I have a feeling the sludge from Papaya Cookies was due to the top feeding system. It brought nutrients from the bottom up. But I over fed, so the salts all built up at the top of the water and that's what caused the pH fluctuations. Has to be it. And the light damage. 12/21/2025 Day 2 of drying. I have a time lapse video I'm making of the drying process. Unfortunately it's in night vision, you can only see that. But who cares! It's a time lapse video. They're cool. Nothing else to report. I'll take a picture on day 7 so we can see the difference. Other than that, it'll be short entries like this one. She smells delicious. I know the smell of going to go away for a bit and then come back with a vengeance. 12/22/2025 I suppose a picture is in order. It's only been 3 days. But there you have it. Nothing else to report. Staying strong at 63° and 56%. Something to report: So my pre-filter got clogged and blocked the air flow. By a whole lot. I tried to get it out, but it's kinda stuck there, so I squeeeched it on on itself like an accordion. That worked not great, but now there's air flow. I don't think I'm gonna run another pre-filter next run. Or maybe I will but not until flowering starts. Maybe it'll last the rest of the run. I just don't know how so much dust got in there. My house is honestly spot free. Like vacuumed every other day, wipe surfaces as needed so I don't have to spend a day going through the whole apartment. I do one room a day. So it's never dirty. Spotless apartment. Hell, I move the furniture around every other week to get under. Well, except for the entertainment center. That's kinda too big to move around. Or well heavy. Too much for me to move around at least. But everything else gets moved. The point is, there's very little dust in the apartment. So where did all this shit come from? Would it be the humidifier? I read somewhere that humidifiers launch dust or some sort of compound. Either way, it somehow clogged a pre-filter. At least my carbon filter is clean. Definitely gonna have to figure that one out. 12/23/2025 Day 4 of drying So this is the EXACT reason I kept my humidifier in the tent. It ran out of water this morning and by the time I got up the humidity was down to 37%. Hence why I keep the humidifier in the tent. As a matter of fact, my Papaya Cookies had the same problem. The humidifier ran out of water. Clearly I forgot to fill them up. Lol. Whoops. Anyway, that kinda makes me wonder how others keep the humidity up to a high 50s%. And no, I will not be moving to a tropical climate. Admit it, some of you are thinking that. But seriously. How do you keep your tent in range? Because the ONLY way to do it is to have a humidifier in the tent. It's the only way. Or have it outside of the tent, but either way, you need a humidifier on and running. Mine runs when the humidity drops below 55% then stops at 56%. Honestly I don't know why I'm not getting a range like with the AI. Frankly I think they need to add a drying stage in the AI system. The only annoying thing is the AI does 12/12 even though it's set up for an autoflower. I didn't change it from veg. Just in case something got messed up. We'll see when the next run gets there. Alright. She's on day 4 and has another good 8 days to go. Definitely. If not a day or 2 longer. She is very leafy and I didn't trim as much as I wanted to. I just couldn't reach some of the leaves on the inside. I didn't cut sugar leaves. I want them for concentrate. I think the actual Dry Tent will be free in a few days. Maybe 2, maybe 3. Who knows. Well, me. But I could be wrong. Lol. I will be needing it before long. I have my Apple Strudel and Blue Dream already seedlings and will mostikely need to be transplanted in the next 4 to 5 days. If not sooner. I'm really hoping I'm right and the Dry Tent will be free in a 2 or 3 days. Time crunch! 12/24/2025 Day 5 drying So I moved Lemon Cherry Cookies into the dry tent today. My Papaya Cookies was ready for trimming. Trim jail. So far it's been pretty bouncy because I had the main tent open. Other than that, nothing else to report. Lol 12/25/2025 Happy holidays everyone! Day 6 of drying. I'd say a few more days. So I forgot to fill the humidifier again! I'm setting an alert on my phone damnit. Anyway, the humidity was down to 37% no clue for how long. Probably a few hours. She's not done yet, but that sped up the process a lot faster than I wanted. Damnit. Oh well. I'm gonna have to figure out a better setup. 3 more days maybe? I tried brushing off some of the leaves with my cannabrush, but nothing was moving. Hence not done. Good to know. Cuz that thing is really only good for big buds. Not the small ones I have. Shame that. Maybe I'll get some nice fat nugs next run. 12/26/2025 Day 7 Ok so I live in an apartment house. There's 3 apartments. One downstairs and the other 2 upstairs. I'm in an upstairs unit. Well, SOMEONE (lower apartment dwellers) fucked with the fucking heat! I woke up to a 54° apartment in the middle of winter. The dry tent was 50° as well. I have a space heater, but it's not enough. The temp is up to 62° in the apartment and 51° in the tent. I'm keeping the tent humidity low so I don't get mold while I figure out when these assholes are gonna turn the heat back up. Seriously pissed off. And FREEZING! Anyway, it's only day 7 drying and I'm already feeling dried bud. The branches aren't snapping but hollow and will crush in between my fingers. It'll snap then, but like not when I bend the branch. I think I'm gonna have to ask a question. Or look it up. 12/27/2025 Day 8. I think she's done drying. I was going for 11 days, but clearly that's not happening. Not with the temp swing. Either way, I can smell the doneness and the snap test is ummmmmmm working? Things are snappy now, so I'm gonna trim today. I'll let the curing bags do the thing if they're too wet. Well, that's it for this part of my grow diary. Hoped you enjoyed the read and got some vital info of what NOT to do. Lol. For the rest of the diary, go to the smoke report. Thanks all for checking it out. 12/28/2025 Well, it's trimming day. I forgot to fill the damned humidifier again. So I woke up to 35% humidity in the dry tent. Everything was working fine until I turned the main tent on. The heater started blowing hot humid air instead of the exhaust fan venting it out. So I took that apart. Now I'm trimming in the tent with the humidifier on so it can keep the rest of the plant from getting brittle. I feel like it's a relace against time. Gotta get everything in the grove bags.

12/12/2022: Getting close to the end. The Strawberry Gushers has turned completely purple. She may have a week or so to go. Just waiting for a bit more amber tricomes before I chop her. The Orange Bubblegum and Newberry are fading more every day, but they still have a couple more weeks. Just when I thought I got the fungas gnats under control more must have hatched. They are mainly concentrated in the Strawberry Gushers pot, so I threw in a new sticky trap and did a little watering with some mosquito bit tea. About 1/3 liter each. Just enough to get the first inch or two of soil wet. One lesson learned from this grow is start treating for pest issues when you first see them, instead of waiting for them to get bad like I did. Also, plan to implement or stricter IPM strategy next round. 12/15/2022: The Strawberry Gushers is just about done. Tricomes are about 20% amber, so she will be getting the chop this weekend. The Orange Bubblegum and Newberry still need more time, so I gave them a good watering today. They each got 1.5 liters of water at 6.6 ph, with ThermX-70, coconut powder, FishShit, and about 1 liter of mosquito bit tea for the gnats. 12/18/2022: only watered the Orange Bubblegum and Newberry today. They are both fading hard, but i think I'll give them another week or two before chopping. Gave each about 1.5 liters mixed with ThermX-70, FishShit, and mosquito bits. Still can't get these fungas gnats 100% under control, but keeping it at a manageable population at least. The Strawberry Gushers is getting chopped tomorrow, so she didn't get any water. Was originally planning to chop it today, but still need to get my drying space dialed in. Trying to get as close to 60° with 60% RH. Avg. VPD:1.6 PPFD: 600 DLI: 39

Hey guys today the 30th day. Plant is over the hill after my dog has treated himself with relish. 🍓😅... I showered her directly after the assassination with a load of valerian + amino acidos and a few pick-me-ups (oligosaccharides).. it looked much worse at the beginning of the week. lost by the leaf, she got eagle claws directly. It has become insanely bright. think due to the heavy rain the ph has changed. I'll check that tomorrow, if so, there is a correction, if no it gets a load of calcium, either eggshell, dissolved in apple vinegar and EM and some mussel shell powder... Give her a week of recovery time. Lighting remains for the time being, it rains at least half the day, every day and there is a massive lack of light... also to compensate for the missing leaves a bit... wish her a lot of life force, I don't give her up,😇 maybe there's still a doi and two or three seeds😆💚💚💚💩 I also planted three strawberries to match the plant. they will catch the excess nutrients and root the rest of the pot. think after the incident, it won't get too big now... and so I definitely have something to snack on in the end, no matter what else happens🍓😆😎

Had a little hint of root rot the other day so I’ve been adding Hydrogen peroxide. I took off a few fan leaves and increased light power 5%. Everything is going ok.

Desde 13/12 a 20/12 13/12: empezó el día con lluvia en la madrugada y mucho viento. Esperemos no haya sufrido la planta ya que estaba atada y no pude ir a cortarle los hilos. El pluviómetro marcó 130ml. El viento fue fuerte pero lo soportó como una campeona. El problema es que los caminos estan feos y no se puede entrar. Tendré que esperar hasta el miércoles o jueves para poder ir a verla. 14/12: temperatura de 29ºC. Humedad de 63%. Me dicen que sigue creciendo bien, aun no se mejoran los caminos rurales así que hoy no podré ir a verla. Mañana posiblemente si y subo fotito. 15/12: tuve que pedirle a un amigo que me lleve en moto porque en auto no se puede entrar, hay mucho barro y aún no se escurre el agua de los caminos. La nena no sufrió nada. Crecio mas de 15cm desde la ultima vez que la vi. Parece que con el viento se desataron los hilos así que volví a atarla. No hizo falta riego ya que aún dura la humedad de la lluvia del domingo. 16/12: hoy fui a verla y a regarla. Me llamo la atención la fuerza que hace para irse para arriba, tanta fuerza que desató varios hilos. Tuve que volver a atarla. Se marcó a tal punto de casi quebrarse el tallo en la punta, donde doblé la planta. Le puse aloe vera natural para que cicatrice, espero de buen resultado. Por otra parte regue con 20 litros y saque muchas arañas blancas, muchos huevos y varias chinches. No nos olvidemos que el lugar de cultivo está cerrado por monte autóctono y virgen, hay cualquier cantidad de insectos. Suelo ponerle musica a la planta cuando voy a verla, hoy escuchamos el CD “Lobo suelto, cordero atado” de Los Redondos. ¿Ustedes creen que las plantas disfrutan de la música como nosotros? 18/12 - mucho calor durante la siesta/tarde. Conserva bien la humedad. Hoy regué con manguera. No encontré ningún huevo de araña, pero si una araña pequeña. Ayer no pude venir a verla por falta de tiempo, y hoy note el crecimiento de los dos días. Va bastante bien. Esta semana descansa de fertilizantes. Esperaré a fertilizar fuerte pasado el cuarto menguante. 19/12: como de costumbre fui por la tarde antes de que cayera el sol, y me encontre con la sorpresa de que tenia mucha araña roja varios sectores de la planta, muchos huevos debajo de las hojas grandes. Tuve que volver a mi casa a buscarlo Jabón Potásico para hacerle aplicación foliar. Le puse 1 litro con dos tapas de jabón; esperemos haga resultado. Mañana tendré que dedicarle más atención a la nena y sacarle todo lo que pueda de forma manual. Hoy es luna llena y alumbra muchísimo, la nena lo siente, le gusta.

As per usual this plant tells me it needs watering by looking limp, it doesn't mean the pots are dry it just means its demanding more water. We're gunna need a bigger tent!

Hello growers Last week for this girl. Going to run her out for 7 days with lights then 2 in darkness. No more water for her she should have enough to finish off the run Swelling around the middle and bottom more so than the tops but she is covered nugs all over. Smell is amazing with 90% cloudy trics with some amber. Leaves are fading and dropping now so she is pretty much done. Next update should be her havest Noticed after all her leaves started to drop the bottom sites are purple/green Love it

So my beautiful babies have had a busy week they had a trim got rid of the big fan leaves covering new bud sites and today they had monkey nutrients bloom A and Bloom B plus stress, rootshoot and calmag and they had there first day of 12 hours light and 12 hours dark I added another fan so they are loving life and the humidity is finally lower The smell is amazing inside the tent and the filter is keeping the smell inside the tent thankfully

Runtz Punch grew great. The only problem is she was a autoflower labeled as a photoperiod. She still preformed very well. She developed good, dense, frosty, sweet smelling colas. I didn't have any real issues during this grow beside she went to flowering under a 20/4 light schedule. Everything went great and I will be back for the smoke report in a few months once she is processed. Thank you Herbies seeds, Athena, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️ Sorry I missed several weeks, I had hand surgery and was unable to move and update stuff as needed. Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.
