Yo growmies! While all of Berlin was getting high at Mary Jane 2024, I paid my ladies a visit: Remember last week's manic defoliation? Yeah, let's just say I went a little Edward Scissorhands on the Pineapple Poison. It's because last year's monstrous Gelato that took two days to harvest (my arms were killing me!). This year's mission: big, juicy colas and a speedy harvest (last year it took us 2 days!). Well, the good news is, the Pineapple Poison is a tough cookie (or should I say, pineapple?). She bounced back like a champ! She's still on the short and bushy side, so I'm giving her a break from the shears this week. Just a few tiny shoots close to the main stem got evicted to keep those main colas in the spotlight. Speaking of spotlights, I also made a trippy video to test visuals for the contest. Let me know what you think of the hazy, dream-like vibe. Is it artsy or just accidentally blurry? You be the judge! Oh, and I discovered a couple of resident snails on the Pineapple Poison. Thankfully, these little guys seem to be no harm. We'll call them our "ganja garden guardians". In fact, I noticed with every outdoor grow that Cannabis plants create a tiny ecosystem for all kinds creepers and crawlers who like to soak up the flower fumes and chill out in the leafy shade, Stay tuned, growmies! Next week, we'll see if the Pineapple Poison keeps on churning out those juicy colas. And who knows, maybe I'll find a way to channel my inner pruning master without turning this into a harvest marathon again! High fives all around!

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!!

Day 71. Girls loved last week boost, pots are light in a day and maybe i will give to 7 of them Ph water today even. Toped Tangie will be watered 4sure, widest Tangie still heavy, i think its her last feeding anyway, maybe she will get last molasses and CalMag at the end of the week together with other girls. Defoliated plant loves her life , but will finish only in midle of february i quess... Moved toped plant inbetween two lamps, she became tallest plant and i had a feeling, that her tops overheat a bit, bigest early FastDiesel was moved to the corner. All is good and i think i will start to search for my loop very soon ;))) Day 74. Some girls started to gain weight, other still in full bloom. Girls looks healthy and happy, but my heart doesnt sing .. still think that 50 g is my best result from those plants, some will be closer to an ounce. The only hard mistake i made was leaving them unwatered for one extra day, but they bounce back after two hours, so it leaves me with idea, that time invested dosnt pay off. All 3 FastDiesels looks like twins, same structure, same flower. Really happy with those and maybe harvest and taste will push me to try out this strain in summer outdoors. Tangies are all very different, from 5 seeds - two are really nice fenos, very fat buds and compact structure, one is absolutly sativa dominant, everything very slim and long, one was upsidedown, so this one looks totaly third type . The earliest started to flower and most fastest in grow is forth type, her buds are aswell different from all others. Time will show ... Fingers crossed ;) Day 76. Girls are ok. Some started to yellow a lot, thinking to start flushing first early three girls. Victims in todays photos ;) Last feed tomorrow for most of them anyway.

Hola compañeros! Ya estamos por aquí de nuevo. Vamos progresando ese cultivito multicepas. Estamos entre la semana 2 y la 4 de vegetativo en el conjunto de cepas. Tenemos otras creciendo en el mismo armario para ahorrar energía.. pero en breves trasplantamos y quedaremos las 9 cepas definitivas que van a florecer. Aunque aun les daremos algo más de crecimiento al conjunto. En cuanto a la alimentación seguimos con la gama de abonos de @GreenBuzzNutrients, con la cual estamos súper contentos! Estos productos orgánicos de origen vegano son idóneos para cultivar unas plantas eco. Tenemos la luminaria Fc3000 marshydro al 30% a unos 70 cm de distancia de las plantas. De momento lo dejo así, más adelante iremos subiendo un poquito más la potencia. Temperatura max 25°C Temperatura min 21 °C Húmedad(%) 60 Vamos a trabajar el vegetativo una semana más! Un saludo compañeros, hasta pronto

All caught up. Transplanted into 3 gallon pots. Lightly watered with some calmag and recharge Roots were good and just about ready for the upgrade. No pics but I’ll keep this in mind for my next grow and take some. I know I looked on here and watched YouTube videos to see how was done and it has been very helpful

So frosty now. And the smelll... so stinky. Citrus and gas.

Finally the stretched stopped. Cut about 10 tops bent about 20 with 90s. Still right in the lights. They are looking very happy even though they are so close to the light ( thanks to high c02 levels most likely.) Another week or 2 before I cut the temps and co2 levels down. Been trimming all leaves below light line. Stinky and brutally sticky I feel like Clark griswold with pine sap when ever I am bending the tops and such.. I think even with them being in the lights I will still get a few pounds of premium flower to smoke :)

Hey now, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend....Good week for the Cream Mandarine Auto, she is still eating like crazy, I did switch her to the the ripening nutes, and will be switching to straight H20 here in the the next week or so based on what her triches look like under my miscroscope...her buds are definitely getting tight and sticky, and I had to provide support for 4 colas so far that were sagging towards the floor as the buds swelled up...Mars Hydro also sent me a tent to test out, it is a 4x4 main compartment, and also two smaller sections which are 4x2 and 4x6, which I will use the smaller one for seedings, and the larger one for drying flower. I will absolutely be running another Cream Mandarine Auto, she has been great, and she absolutely reaks every time I open the tent. I had her out last night for about an hour while I set up the new tent and she literally made my whole house stink. Very happy withe these genetics so far, I think she will be ready in 7-12 days but we will see.... I hope everyone enjoys the rest of your weekend, be safe and blaze on!

Upgraded my grow light. Did a little LST. So far its looking good. The GG4 is really slow though. But again from my research strains like this start slow but they are robust in the stretching phase soooo I will let her do her thing. On to the next week.

la semaine c'est bien passé aucune carence apparente . j'augmente progressivement la dose d'engrais je suis surpris de voir l'évolution de certaines plantes durant la phase de stretch au cour de la cinquième semaine mention spéciale pour la blueberry #1 (palissée) et à la GG de chez fastbuds

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg. Had my 4th year cancer check-up and passed... Doctor couldn't find anything wrong. So I get to wait a year before my next/last check-up. If I pass that check-up they declare me cancer free. 😁 Thanks Rick Simpson.... Got this magazine a couple of days ago and wanted to show some of the weird adds and the articles. There is a Cheech and Chong story and interview in the Captain Future diary, and a Cheech story and interview in my LemonPaya diary. If your a fan of them have a peek at this weeks... Things are going well in here. The plants are stretching to fill out their areas. Plant #1 looks like it going to be a big plant with inches between leaf sets. Nice tangy smell though. Thinking of putting these girls into flowering around June 1st. And harvesting around Aug.15 or so. Got the tent so I could flower when the sun is strong, middle of summer. Not the weak ass fall sun where there's lots of mold and fungus. OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.
