👉The time finally arrived for the harvest, mostly cloudy trichomes with scant few amber, very few white pistols, and the leaves had either faded or were fading. The run-off pH would quickly plummet and the run-off EC would spike. This may be an indicator that the plant is ready but that only would be conjecture on my part. The overall look of the plant to me said it was ready. The aroma was super strong citrusy and intoxicating. THe leaves were fading and there were virtually no white pistols. 👉I harvested bottom to top. I hung each cola on alphabetized clothes pins with gardening wire attached for hanging on the rack. The buds are dense and shaped like pine cones. I trimmed it semi-tight, but left some of the smaller frosty sugar leaves. The buds and sugar leaves are very frosty but it wasn’t as scissor freezing as the Gorrila Glue I grew last year. I measured the post trim wet weight on a self-calibrating digital scale. I checked the accuracy of the scale with a set of scale calibration weights and it was accurate at all weight ranges. I logged each colas trimmed wet weight and hung on the rack. I have a 42” tower fan. For first 12 hours I ran it at its medium setting, then reduced to lowest speed. I rotated the side facing the fan after 24hrs. Then after another 24 hrs I placed them in paper sacks with to top open. I left the buds on the clothes pin hanger and clipped the bag to that. After another 24 hours I closed the tops. Another 24 hrs and I test weighed a couple of colas. I monitored for another couple of days until the weights averaged 20-25% reduced from the initial wet weight. I then cataloged the weight of each cola and placed each into its own jar, most got one of those small cheap hygrometers. These hygrometers have been calibration tested and I know the drift of each. My target humidity is 62%. I would open the jars for brief periods of time during the next couple of days until the humidity stabilized at 62%. Once stable I placed 62% humidity packs in the jars. I took out most of the hygrometers for the next plants cure, but leave some of them with the best buds. The Queen cola was 20g when placed in the jar. That is about 24% remaining weight from trim. 24% is a little on the high side of the humidity target range. The jar the Queen cola is in, is a wide mouth counter jar and I will be toking that bud primarily and it will dry out the fastest. I have compensated the weight I entered on the dry weight spec to reflect about 20g more of humidity loss and another 30 for the stems that are left on the bigger buds. The final weight of the buds going into the jars was 254g (not including the larf at 23gdry). 200g of plump sticky pine cones for the final weight is pretty nice for a 1 gallon pot. 👉I wrote this review at 3 weeks before the 6 week cure mark. In my short experience of being weed rich, its been interesting to take note of how the flower continues to ‘cure’ as time goes on. I have found that 6 weeks isn’t a given for when its ‘cured’. I have observed that as weed ages it changes. I have not noticed much difference with 2-3 week old buds at 62% humidity when compared to 6 weeks from jarring. But I do notice significant difference around 6 months of age. The flavor is enhanced and the buzz is stronger. It maintains this level then 8-12 months it has leveled off and all strains are becoming more ‘couch lock’ inducing. My observations are not scientific by any means. This is just my 8th plant in the 2 years that cannabis became legal for home grow in my area. But I still have each of the plants and rotate which one I consume. 👉I loved growing this plant, and hopefully gained more knowledge. It fox-tailed a bit at the end. I think my frequent fertigation techniques contributed to most of the issues I had. I think I was a little too conservative with nutrient mix and irrigation volume and frequency. I used only 10% expanded clay pebbles in the coco mix as opposed to the standard 30%. This was slightly problematic at first before the roots filled the pot. Fertigation events would cause erosion and caution had to be taken around the seedling. I placed a layer of hyrdoton pebbles across the surface and the issue was solved. Once the pot was filled with roots it took 10+ minutes to give the plant 2L of solution. The pot was packed hard with roots. This may have been a contributing factor to some of the possible nutrient issues I had. I dont think the nutrient issues I saw had much impact on the final outcome. To get 200g from a 1 gallon pot is wonderful.

We are all finished! 79 days from seed, 11 weeks !

Day 35 End of Week 5 Update: Had a bad week worrying about humidity. My dehumidifier broke so I was stuck until payday and humidity was out of control, night time into the the high 70's and mid 60s during the day. But despite that, thankfully there was no issues that came about like PM or funky mold or anything. New Dehumidifier is in and all is looking good Gorilla Cookies is definitely stretching out more than Strawberry G. The Strawberry Gorilla has more of a bushy tendency. I'm hoping she's just a late stretcher so we'll see 🤞 I started light defoliating and so far so good. I don't take out much and with the little I have trimmed there has been no sign of growth pause or stunting at all, they seem to be going strong so far. Happy Growing y'all!

Journal de culture - Semaine 3 de croissance La plante a bien repris sa vigueur cette semaine, développant une belle masse racinaire, ce qui est très encourageant. Elle continue de se développer et je m’efforce de la maintenir la plus basse possible en utilisant des techniques de Low Stress Training. J’ai essayé le pinching, qui consiste à pincer légèrement les extrémités des branches pour les courber. Cela permet de rediriger les hormones de croissance vers les parties inférieures, ce qui maximise le développement des pousses. J’ai également effectué une légère défoliation en enlevant quelques grandes feuilles superflues. Pour le reste, je surveille principalement le pH. J’essaie de le maintenir autour de 5.8, mais avec les tampons présents dans les produits Terra Aquatica, il remonte régulièrement à 6.2. Je me demande si ce pH légèrement élevé pourrait être à l’origine d’un problème de coloration des feuilles, car la plante semble présenter une légère carence malgré la présence de tous les nutriments nécessaires. Je fais attention à ne pas ajouter trop d’acide afin de ne pas surcharger la solution nutritive. Globalement, la plante est en bonne santé et continue de bien évoluer. Je pense passer en floraison d’ici une ou deux semaines maximum. Étant donné qu’il s’agit d’une variété Jack Herer, qui a tendance à beaucoup s’étirer en floraison, je préfère la maintenir encore un peu en croissance pour travailler tranquillement avec les techniques de Low Stress Training et la défoliation. On verra son évolution la semaine prochaine ! 🇺🇸 Grow Diary - Week 3 of Veg The plant has regained its vigor this week, developing a strong root mass, which is great. It keeps growing, and I’m trying to keep it as low as possible using Low Stress Training techniques. I’ve been trying pinching, which involves lightly pinching the tips of the branches to bend them. This redirects the growth hormones to the lower parts, maximizing the development of new shoots. I’ve also done a bit of light defoliation by removing some large, unnecessary leaves. Other than that, I’m mainly monitoring the pH. I’m trying to keep it as close to 5.8 as possible, but the buffers in the Terra Aquatica products keep raising it to 6.2. I’m wondering if this slightly higher pH might be causing some discoloration on the leaves—it feels like a deficiency, even though all the necessary nutrients are present. I’m cautious about adding too much acid to avoid overloading the nutrient solution. Overall, the plant is healthy and continues to grow well. I’m thinking about switching to flowering in a week or two at most. Since this is a Jack Herer strain, which tends to stretch a lot during flowering, I want to keep it in veg a bit longer while working with Low Stress Training and defoliation. We’ll see how it evolves next week! 🤘😎🤘

Hello 👋 Im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit werden etwas ältere Samen als frühes Outdoorprojekt auf dem Balkon gestartet. Genutzt wird ein gebrauchtes Hochbeet, dass ich für einen feuchten Händedruck über Ebay Kleinanzeigen erworben habe. 50l biobizz lightmix + der Rest meines älteren flo Düngers haben dort drinnen Platz gefunden. Den Boden habe ich mit tonkugeln ausgestattet. Nematoden. wurden dem Boden hinzugefügt. Ist ein früher Start, und ich bin gespannt ob die Samen überhaupt kommen. Alternativ hab ich immer noch eine crit (da weiß ich dass sie klein bleibt) und die Baby Boom von kannabia. Der Wunsch ist, dass die Pflanzen nicht höher als 50-60 cm werden. Bin gespannt ob mir das mit 50l Substrat gelingt. Die Genetik sollte allerdings auch etwas kleiner bleiben. Das Lernen steht dieses Mal wieder erneut im Fokus und nicht das Ergebnis. 24. März Ein Samen hat ordentlich gekeimt. Habe in direkt in das Substrat gesetzt. Ein Samen hat nur eine Miniwurzel entwickelt. Habe sie dennoch eingepflanzt. Kann sein dass es zu früh war but we will see. Der dritte Samen blieb unverändert und er bleibt in der Tüte. Er bekommt noch ein paar Tage, notfalls wird er ersetzt. Weiteres kleines Update: habe das eBay-Kleinanzeigen setup um wasserdichte led streifen für 10€ von Amazon erweitert. Damit sollte ich verhindern können dass mir die Sämlinge gailen falls die Sonne nicht wie gewüncht mitmacht. Na dann halt lila 😅Aber jetzt erstmal hoffen das zumindestens 2/3 kommen. 26. März trotz entspannten 9 grad nachts in der Box hat es die erste creamatic an die Oberfläche geschafft. Die zweite lässt noch auf sich warten, der dritte Samen ist nun minimalistisch in der Tüte aufgegangen. Hab das Hochbeet am Abend reingeholt und ziehe die kleinen.doch am Fenster vor. 28. März Zwei von drei sind as der Erde geschlüpft :). Das Wunschziel wurde damit erreicht trotz des „hohen Alters“ der Samen. Hoffe. Wir dennoch mal auf nr. Drei

New place outdoor. Bottom two branches and two leaves cut all tops too..

Happy with grow

ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS PURPLEMATIC Kush Rose Auto CBD x Afghan Rose Auto CBD 5% Sativa 90% Indica 5% Ruderalis 9-10wks from germination THC: 0.5% CBD: 17% Beautiful strain, amazing aroma colours and a very sticky CBD strain.. Very easy to grow.. Will make updates and pics when ready to cure.. 😁👍🍀 Edited 28/9/20: Both my partner and myself really enjoy this medical cannabis.. I only wish i wud of been to grow more.. Im trying a bowl at night and it is helping with broken sleep due to pains.. Anytime im feeling aches n pains in joints im having a quick hit and it's definitely making manoeuvrability and life a bit easier atm.. Very smooth to smoke and not at all harsh.. Get a bit of a tickle for those who dont smoke bongs/pipes etc but in my opinion the quickest way apart from dry vape (dont own 1).. Rolled a smallish 1-1/4 blunt with her and she burns great with a herb/flowers hint on the way out.. For my 1st CBD strain im very happy with her and the effects and I'll definitely run her again..😁👍🍀 To view this strain please follow the link.. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/medical-cannabis-seeds/481-purplematic-cbd.html

Will be growing 3 Special Kush Clones and keeping one as a Mother. I'll be making Canna-oil (coconut oil) capsules and MCT oil for tintures. Depending on the yield I might keep some top bud to smoke. I put these clones in the coco coir today, October 1 2023. Under A Marshydro TS-1000 in A 3x3 tent.

Fast, easy and amazing strain to grow! Tasty and smell super. Super lemon haze one of my favority!!!!

She a little skinny. But thriving well and feasting on my nutri Cocktails i serve her. She is a hungry one...

Higher temps/humidity this time round have caused flowers to be a little less frosty not much though

Lo mismo que Haribo, tuve retrasos en el crecimiento ,carencias de nitrógeno, la humedad estaba relativamente alta las primeras semanas de floración … un desastre y aun así la calidad de las flores no defrauda. Lastima lo del Foco a ver si conseguimos solucionarlo ya, porque así la producción es mínima.

Well week 5....this will be her first week in flower. She has been topped (about a week ago) and I will soon start some LST. I don't get to carried away with training. I know some people do a lot...A lot more than I thought was possible. I just do enough to try and keep all the big colas at about the same height. I started to top my plants about 1 year after I started to grow. I liked it right away. Everything gets a bit more light some parts get a lot more light. If you mix in some light LST you get a much cleaner/organized looking plant....if that makes sense.

Second week of flowering in the bag, and they’re all looking really healthy, even healthier than when I first threw them in the flower steady as she goes

Start of week 2flower buds forming nicely will update at end of week Updated 4th July 2020 really bouncing back after pH corrected
