First trichomes are getting milky. Getting very sticky as well I love the nice and sweet, fruity smell of her. Can’t believe it made it to this point. Even if it’s not much…extremely happy to look towards my first harvest Update: Decided to cut her next week. Going for high thc-level, just testing it...maybe too early:). Sending her to 48 hours of darkness next Monday

Last week before leaving the plants in the dark for 2 days. I can't really wait to get the results and waiting for. Even though I've made some mistakes due to not enough time to take care of them, I am really happy my first grow.

The tale of the Goddesses is ending. Through this grow, I have given tribute to matriarchs-my grandmother and my mother who have influenced who I am in this world. I’ve showcased their art, photographs, and their lifetimes. I shared our family history through old photos while also showcasing the art of Alphonse Mucha in the Art Neuveux style he created in the early 1900's. The femininity reflected in his art elevates women to Goddesses with their flowing hair and floral backgrounds. In the diary I indicated I wanted to be a healer in my younger years. I wasn't a medical professional by career choice, but I provide natural nontoxic solutions for cleaning and beauty products and have for my family and friends for over 25 years. Not only are the items healthy and clean, but they are also effective and save you money. And who doesn't want that? I added the song Woman by Iris Gold. Have a listen in you tube or amazon music. Shoot for the stars and may all your dreams come true. My cover for Harvest and Smoke report is Alphonse Mucha’s poster for Job cigarette papers. This is one of the most famous works in design history. Taking its cue from a new kind of female beauty, its modern girl has hair with a life of its own. The tendrils look more like the floating tentacles of a jellyfish. This is in vast contrast to the style of the times when women wore their hair tightly pulled up on their heads. For most people, though, the Job poster is less likely to be associated with belle époque Paris of early 1900’s, than the swinging 1960s. Its blissed-out smoker and trippy swirls made it an obvious choice for the bedroom walls of a later generation of freedom-seekers. In posters for perfume, beer, biscuits, bicycles, and Job Cigarettes (1896) he blurred the barrier between fine art and commercial art, between commerce and philosophy. The weekly diary covers I presented show Mucha’s style - organic and ornate, graceful and dynamic, with curving, swooping lines and Byzantine borders, lettering, and frames. The iconic 'Mucha woman' had curves, flowing hair, pastel robes, and often a halo of light or flowers. His women burst with life. I have mixed emotions about my grow and harvest. My results indicate I have a lot to learn. This was my 3rd grow and I still have problems with over feeding my auto girls. wh For all future grows I will reduce any synthetic fertilizer to 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended dosage. Overfeeding caused clawing and canoeing followed by nutrient lockout. While I was trying to correct this problem, flushing for 3 weeks to get out the excess fertilizers and salts, the girls were already overmature and past harvest. Checking trichomes at 10 weeks, there were few trichomes and didn't see much more until week 12. I checked with my phone camera at 10x magnification every other day. I saw lots of clear, then clear and milky, then all milky but never did I see any amber trichomes. The plants began to reveg based on the King Crown buds developing (see pics in week 15). The CBG may have degraded to CBN since I was 3-4 weeks late in harvest. If that is true, I don't mind since I need sleep medicine too. I lost Circe at the end due to aphid infestation. Ater several power washing with the hose on jet, we could not get the bugs off. So, I chopped her and into the trash she went. I did only minor defoliation near the end of the grow but neither plant was very leafy. For future grows, I will defoliate on a schedule, do some stress training maybe fimming, lollypopping, and defoiliating. Note to self: when buying seeds, look for more growing information on the strain such as when trichomes are expected and days to harvest. Knowledge is power. On the flip side, my happiness comes from the completion of a grow the harvest was 57 grams of smoke and 26 grams trim was not the highest yield but workable for what I need. As I indicated in the beginning, my plan, in addition to enjoying the smoke, is to put CBG in my health & beauty products. So, you don't have to wait for me to make mine, I've loaded a pain salve recipe above from Emily Kyle for a CBD or THC. The recipe shown makes 3/4 cup but can be doubled or halved. I'm, so excited I have decarbed my CBG trim and will use to make this formula while the buds are curing. I will also include some Lemon auto which is 17:17 CBD:THC to give it some other cannabinoids. I'll also put the recipe in the recipe diary. CBG will go in the coconut oil I use in my toothpaste ( recipe loaded in recipe file) If you follow me, check my recipe diary periodically as I will add new food and beauty recipes in future grows. For my readers and followers, I express my sincere gratitude for all the comments, likes and views and thank you for responding to my questions. I always hate having to pick one answer because they are all good. Just know that I learn from every one's answers. In closing, this Grow Diaries community is the best. With all the love and positive vibes I received, I got overwhelmed at times. As this was my medical grow, many of you sent me good vibes and prayers for continued healing. I feel your energy and it keeps my frequency up. I have enjoyed meeting and chatting with all of you. I'll be starting my next grow soon so follow along with that one too. Sending you love and good vibes 💚💫💫💚. Enjoy your smoke💨💨 Happy growing 🌱and have fun🎉

Week 2 and the training has already started. I was inspired by Canamatoes, this is his LST method. Day 17 - when LST turned into HST aka FIS technique (fuck I snapped). So it started as a really harmless routine, I wanted to tie down the plant when at the weak point where the previous tie down was (1st nod) the main stem just snapped 😬 First I tried to use some duct tape and it did not holding the plant together. I grabbed the super glue and it seems like it does the job. ⚕️ When I got home in the evening two fan leaves were wilted. Will she survive? Let's say she will survive, I am sure due to stress the harvest day will be delayed and it won't be a massive yield. Day 19 - I decided to go ahead with a VEEERY GENTLE LST. We don't have the luxury to wait for the full recovery.

Week 2 - The Plants Are Loving Their Environment. I Think The Coco Soil Have The Gorilla Glu & Stardawg Thinking They’re Coconut Trees. Lol I’m Experimenting Trying To Create My Own Foliation Spray And Nutrient Additive To Go With A Base Nutrient And It Seems To Be Working. Overall The Girls Are Happy & Healthy And I’m Very Satisfied With Week 2. #OwlGang #AGrowingEmpire

7/28/21: Week 7 and we found a few beans 😑, apparently we didn't remove the hermi in time but it's not too bad, we can live with a few seeds (it looks like maybe 5% if the plant)...its an interesting cross for sure lol (Green Crack x GDP).. she's still way too dark imo despite having cut all nutrients well over a week ago.. we may flush her this week and just continue the rest of the grow with only water...thanks for reading!! Will update mid week 🐱❤️💡🌱 ... 8/01/21: Trichomes are getting cloudy and the leaves are finally starting to lighten in color.. maybe 1-2 more weeks left before she comes down..we're really excited to try this strain!🐱

So had to adjust the weeks in the diary but here we are day 21 week 3 and they are starting to show preflowers and I’m greeted with a faint sweet smell every time I open the tent. Grew about 3” average week over week internode distance is compact, this variety stalk is tremendous in power tried twice to start lst and both times the plant managed to straighten it self upright within hours. After some debate I’ve decided that I’ll let her be an see what happens. The stretch has started almost 3” of growth in last 3 days Water with recharge and elementXX gonna wait till day 25 to hopefully see their effect on the plants So that recharge is amazing 2” of growth in less than 48hrs made me have to adjust the light height. So from day 21 till day 25 just over 4” of height gained. Next feeding I’ll start to introduce bloom and molasses. Morning of day 27 introducing TNB Naturals and turning on the second 600w LED, plants have seen explosive growth this week, tied some of the secondary branches down to allow better light penetration. I’m excited to see what the CO2 will encourage.

Woche 12 beginnt. Sie ist fast fertig. Eine absolute tolle Genetik! Lässt sich super trainieren ! Geruch ist sehr stark. Hatte noch ein bisschen calmag Probleme was durch die 300w lumatek verursacht wurde. Aber es geht ihr gut dank plagron. Hab die gute gespült. Die spitzen sehen aus la ob sie leichten nutriens Brand bekommen. Aber das sollte die letzten paar Tage vor der Ernte kein Problem sein.

This OGgelato is a champ! Not the heaviest producer, but its been a real pleasure and was easy to grow. No matter what nutrients I throw at her, or aggressive pruning, she bounces right back. This week I found bud rot on one of my other plants in the greenhouse but this plant has so far been resistant and is healthy. I thinned the canopy and defoliated out quite a bit to create more air flow. I now have fans on 24/7 and sprayed with a mycorrizhal fungicide that suppresses botrytis. Also this week I have stopped pulling the tarp on and off each night (for total darkness) because it seemed to trap in too much humidity at night. The humidity outside has been 80-90% for over a week! And the rain was so heavy all last week. This week is slightly warmer with less rain so hoping we can make it. The trichomes are starting to get milky. I imagine I have 1-2 weeks left but am not sure. This has been a pleasurable experience for sure, but this is stressful right now! The smell is so strong you can smell it on my block. You can see *everything* from the alleyway adjacent to the greenhouse. I'm worried about mold and thiefs and can not wait for this to be dried and in jars!
