Days 15 to 17, varying by plant: My journey of experimentation, aiming to refine and perfect my cannabis cultivation methods, continues. This venture’s ultimate objective is to position myself as a preeminent cannabis cultivator in my locale. As I navigate through the labyrinth of regulatory licensing, I’m conducting a trial run with my seedlings under continuous lighting conditions and a minimal nutrient regime. My primary goal during this phase is to identify any potential hiccups that could hinder the growth process and ultimately impact the productivity of my intended commercial operation. As I delve deeper into this exploratory phase, I draw invaluable insights from the thriving cannabis community, whose collective wisdom informs my decision-making process. Given my geographical location and available resources, I’ve opted for a strategic shift in my cultivation strategy. Previously, I’ve been procuring seeds at an average cost of $10 to $22 per seed, with a relatively broad success rate variance, ranging from 70% to 85%. However, an alternative presents itself in the form of local cultivators. These businesses offer cannabis plants aged between 2 to 4 weeks, boasting an impressive variety of over 100 strains. These juvenile plants are offered at a cost-effective rate: an average of $100 for eight plants. With a success rate hovering between 70% and 95%, these plants offer excellent value. Essentially, I can access pre-grown plants at a substantial discount, in turn significantly boosting my chances of success. Consequently, I am poised to transition away from growing cannabis from seeds to harvesting. By sourcing my plants from local cultivators, I stand to significantly reduce overhead and production time—an undeniably smart move from a business standpoint. This strategic pivot signifies the end of an era and the exciting beginning of a more efficient and cost-effective chapter in my cannabis cultivation journey. I am currently outlining a plan to expand my cultivation by acquiring several juvenile plants, which should be happening between July 1st and 3rd. The new additions to my garden will include Acapulco Gold, Gelato, White Truffle, and Runtz. These will be cultivated in harmony with the existing growth, which comprises God’s Gift, Northern Lights, and the final surviving F1 Epsilon. My primary objective is to establish the most efficient and cost-effective supply chain possible. I aim to achieve this through the use of an off-grid system that runs solely on solar power, which will ensure complete sustainability and renewability. From a business standpoint, this approach is advantageous as it allows me to leverage the growth of high-quality plants that are already in the cultivation phase. The new plants are expected to arrive in about a week. If the growth rate of the currently cultivated plants doesn’t meet expectations, I’ll be incorporating several of the newly arrived plants into the hydroponics systems. This methodical approach aims to ensure an optimal growth rate and the highest possible yield. I also wish to address the cannabis grower community directly. I hope that my decision to skip the seed-to-plant stage does not cause any offense. My intentions are simply focused on maximizing quality and output, while minimizing our carbon footprint. I believe this approach is in the best interest of sustainability and efficiency, without compromising on the quality that our community values so highly. As we proceed with this venture, we’re currently in the phase of collecting equipment and navigating through the licensing process. To help lower our overhead and assist with consulting fees, we would greatly appreciate any donations, especially in terms of lighting equipment. Your support in this endeavor will contribute significantly towards optimizing our operation and will be deeply appreciated. Disclaimer: Let it also be known I am completely abiding by all state laws, and do not plan on selling any of this current bud. This is for research to avoid future growing "potholes" in the growing part of the business as we have a very small team. My end goal is to help change the current stigma around cannabis and provide a useful service that can help localize and reduce the inflation on cannabis prices in socal by providing a logical supply system. Again I intend on doing all things through the legal route as there is no need to do other wise given the laws on personal use and growing.

small side project: Rebegging some branches to preserve this pheno for the future. Hopefully they will root soon.

Hallo 👋👋👋 ein weiterer vergangener grow meinerseit, den ich nun Stück für Stück hochladen werde. Dies ist auch mein erster Balkongrow. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine photoperiodische Blue Sunset Sherbet von Barney’s Farm und einer Royal Jack automatic von Royalqueenseeds. Beide sind direkt in einem 8l Topf auf dem Balkon gestartet und wurden mit florgsnics ausreichend ausgestattet. Die Jack hat sich absolut prächtig entwickelt, die Sherbet durfte einige wilde Entscheidungen meinerseits miterleben. Wünsche viel Freude beim Lesen :)

Day 71.

[DAY 36] - 6/7/2022 - 29°/30° and 60% RH average; - TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away - After bending the plant has returned to about 38cm in height; - EC 0.9 / 1 - PH remains fixed at 6.4, no matter how much PH down I put in the solution, it will always return to 6.4 after few hours; ------------------------------------ SCROG TIME AND DEFOLIATION IN SEVERAL TIMES ------------------------------------ - 8 PM - Lights on and scrog net mounted. The scrog net is about 25 cm (10 inches) from the clay and I have tried (at my best) to space the individual branches in the various outer squares of the net. In the next few days I will try to better fill the free squares to try to fill the scrog net completely. - 6 HOURS LATER - I was very rude due my inexperience. Despite that, plant seems already recovered, it is drinking and the branches are already bending to seek the light. [DAY 37] - 7/7/2022 - Just removed some leaves under the canopy who won't get light. I did defoliation in different times due I wanted no stress the plant too much, I hope it was a good idea. [DAY 38] - 8/7/2022 - More defoliation - Bent branches through the net; - Added peppermint oil on the lid to prevent insects from getting into the tent; - Today temperature is cooler, which is why I decided to keep the light off for only an hour. I took the opportunity to give the plant more light after the stress of the last three days to allow it to recover faster. It will go to sleep directly tomorrow at 5 pm until 9 pm, as usual. [DAY 39] - 9/7/2022 - Mounted the carbon filter; - Tried to fix the scrog but I broke a branch; [DAY 40] - 10/7/2022 - Today I tried to lower the net but it is harder than I thought. By now the branches are stuck in the net and I was able to do very little. - I probably made it worse, Before the branches seemed to me better spaced and now I'm afraid of forcing my hand too much, I risk getting even worse. For a couple of days I leave the plant alone, it's not growing so much; - EC 1.1; PH 6.2-6.4; Still drinking about 2 l/day; - TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away from the center of the net. The branches on the sides are going up and slowly approaching the lamp, but I don't move it higher because I want a strong light to arrive in the center to allow the lower branches to rise and reach the others. We hope well - I am worried that I've stressed the plant too much, there are numerous branches (even recent ones) with a color tending to red / purple. I hope she recovers well and will try to stress her to a minimum in the next few days. For the first time I had to take care of the plant directly, handling the branches and defoliating. Surely someone more experienced would have done a much better job than mine. Get back soon HULK [DAY 41] - 11/07/2022 - EC 1.3; PH 6.4 - Temp. 28° / RH: 50%; - Today I started raising the EC from 1.1 to 1.3 and the plant reacted well. I used the solution prepared 2 days ago with: demineralized water EC 0 / 0.4 g/L SILICATE / CAL-MAG up to 0.35 / A + B + HYDRO BOOSTER + 1/2 dose of BLOOM STIMULATOR for a total of = EC 1.3. Having to add 2 liters to the DWC, I raised the EC of the made solution from 1.3 to 1.7 with the only addition of CAL-MAG => TOTAL EC IN DWC = 1.3. The plant seems to react well, after 6 hours the water level has dropped and the EC dropped from 1.3 to 1.2. The plant shows to be hungry, especially for CAL-MAG. Over the next few days, I will keep EC levels well monitored and act accordingly. - TS 1000 set at 75% = 112 watts and 45cm away from the center of the net. The branches on the sides still are going up and slowly approaching the lamp. I start to see very few leaves with yellow tips, if it continues like this, I move the lamp 5 centimeters away from the center; - For the moment I stop with the defoliation for 10/15 days, on the advice of @SwissKush [DAY 42] - 12/07/2022 No update. I'm fine, don't worry.

Well it's all about the bulking now she hasn't been having any more upward stretch at all .. This lady smells cirtus and skunk a very good smell .. it's also travelling across the yard now a good smell and sizeable buds developing I can't wait for the end on this one ...great genetics over at @originalsensibleseeds

The ladies are fantastic I think I have a nutrient mix that works I'm super stoked to see what they yield me

Comienza la floración de estas pequeñas!! Cambiamos línea de fertilizantes gracias a b.a.c 👍👨‍🌾🏻🍀

All right so today is day 13 starting the week 2 a day early because of my other diaries as I explained last week... As you can tell this girl is thriving and growing faster than I expected to be honest.. I ordered some pro mix yesterday should be here tomorrow where I will be transplanting her into a 1 gallon pot where she will remain for a couple weeks and then I will transfer her into the 4 gallon and put her in the tent where the strawberry cough is and get her flipping to flower .. training is going to be minimal I might just let her go naturally like I did the cream and cheese because that was a 3-month grow and the very successful one.. I'm thinking I might top once or twice I just don't know yet we'll see when the time comes.. right now I'm waiting on my autos to finish up to clear up some room so up giving her enough room won't be such an issue.. everything is looking good though big shout out Zamnesia Seeds these are really good people and as you can see their genetics are awesome as well.. definitely check them out right now they have a Black Friday sale you guys do not want to miss it is really good.. hope everyone is doing well God bless and happy growing ✌️😎 day 14 : today she was transplanted into a 1 gallon pot using pro mix and she got her first feeding of synthetics being the Maxi boom... I said around the edges of the pot to get the roots to find their way into the new soil and she should be taking off shortly.. so far so good 🙂 https://www.zamnesia.com/us/

Harter ritt diese Dame , alles viel zu schwer das es gleich umknickte beim defolieren . Hab mal ein getrockneten Bud aus der mitte genommen und Trichom analyse (Videos und Bilder) gemacht . ja viel klar wenig milchig und einige rot . Ergo , zuviel Licht an der Spitze (abstand zum licht viel zu gering) und im Boden zu kalt ist keine gute Kombination .

Hello everyone😎 Week 6 of flower for the LCC🍋🍒🍪 All the top buds harvested✂️ I had a lot of fun growing this strain🤩 The smell is absolutely out of this world…the colors…💜 I have 3 different pheno,all purple,some smells more citrus and the others more ripe cherries! One more week for the lower buds and finito I already feel nostalgic😜 *what’s coming out of the yuzu is essentials oil,every year I make Yuzucello feel free to ask me the recipe🍸🍋
