Welcome guys Here we are finally at the reviews of this strain from seed bank Barneys farm, called UTOPIA HAZE I must say that I enjoyed cultivating it 🙂🌱 The plant didn't bother me too much, it was pretty good.. It lends itself well to cultivation in scrog or in any case practicing lst 👌 It also reacted very well to more than one topping.. Honestly, as you can read through the various weeks, at the beginning the intention was to limit yourself to a single topping, so as to obtain 6 big final buds.. "Unfortunately" ,sometimes, I vape too much weed and end up doing some bullshit 😓 Indeed As you can see in week 9.. Accidentally, while cleaning the growbox, I broke a branch of the plant.. At that point I decided to toppinf all 6 of the main branches ✂️✂️ From here, another 12 were born, plus other smaller ones that were already present, took on strength 🌱🌱👉🌳 In the end the buds were and are practically all the same size, the main ones And very full of fragrant resin 💯🔥 The scent has fruity and earthy tones with hints of haze 🍊🍋🍭 I believe it is the most indicative phenotype towards this 🙌 And honestly, the fact that haze notes don't prevail makes me happy, because in the long run I don't really appreciate it.. But I love the structure of sativas and can't wait to grow a serious one.. Anyway The effect is quite balanced between a mentally socializing high, but with a relaxed physique 🧘‍♂️🗣️ Also excellent for sports🏃‍♂️🚵‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ Obviously better vaporized 👌👌 But as you can see in the video, I always do a smoke test to evaluate well 😎 And this produces a lot of oil, as well as having a fairly white-ash.. The test and photos are just over two months after the cut 📆 For more info on this cycle, I invite you to scroll week by week where I wrote down everything I did, I hoped and I believe the best 😉 At least of my abilities.. And that's all ganja lovers 💚 I thank everyone for their support and appreciation : 1:: 1:: 1: Great genetics as always Barney's farm 🌞 And thanks a lot to Grow diaries for this space 🙏🙏 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

I started these seeds on Friday, January 29, 2021. Planted them on Sunday, January 31st in Happy Frog soil in a manure pot. I've struggled with keeping the temp below 80F while keeping the humidity up. It was around 57%. I had to turn my exhaust fan on medium and the temp is currently 75.7F and the humidity is at 49%. This is with 2 cool mist humidifiers in a 2X4 foot tent. I do have 2 other small fans blowing as well. One inside and one at the intake vent outside the tent. This is my first grow so any advice will be greatly appreciated!! I'll post the end of week one pics later this weekend!

Bud wet weight : 168,1g of trimmed medium to big sized buds 25,4g of tiny tiny buds/larfs = 193.5 grams of trimmed wet buds. Details on genetics and smoke report above. This, as my first grow, is way more than I ever expected it to be. I haven´t had that much fun and enthusiasm in a very very long time. I can´t even explain the feeling it is to harvest your own cannabis, but I know most of you know what I´m talking about haha. It was really nice to practice LST, even tho it was SO HARD, ´cause I didn´t had barely any space to work since I used a hard pot and did not fill nearly half the size of it and the walls of the pot were really high. It was even difficult to water without dropping water on the lower buds. I haven´t learnt much about defoliation tho, I feel I need to study a little more about the phases you should or should not do it. Also, I discovered thrips are a pain in the ass. I had 2 tough weeks dealing with thrips, but in the end it was alright. I don´t have any humidity control device, which I intend to buy for the next grows. Growdiaries was really helpful for me, it kept me motivated everyday (not that I wouldn´t have had it anyways), the Grow Questions are REALLY useful and all the community is awesome. Thanks to all people that helped me here on GD during this first grow! To conclude it: I am really happy and satisfied with how the grow turned out. They look incredible, it almost feels like I can´t believe it still. Peace. UPDATES: 07/10 : The buds are now dry and already in curing jars, one of them with a Boveda 58% humidity pack. The total grams of the dry buds are: 41.4g (medium to big sized buds) 4.1g (tiny buds) = 45.5 grams! I´m really happy with the results, I thought it would be around 30g so yeah, that´s a really good surprise! In 2 weeks I´ll be back to update the smoke report. Thanks so much for reading! Peace. 09/10 : I managed to fit everything in the same container with some space between them, so now every bud is with the Boveda pack. 14/10: It´s been a week and the smell improved, it still smells a little like hay/plant ( even tho it´s not too dry neither too wet ). 21/10: Now it´s been two weeks and even tho the smell isn´t anymore hay, it´s a lot herbal. I really think the aroma can get better, but the taste is already good enough for me. The smoke report has been done and in case I have something to add, I´ll report here. Thank you so much for reading! Peace.

Day 36 1/18/22 - Doubled in height last week! raised lights 7 inches above manufacturer recommendation. Gonna try to stretch the ladies a bit this week. I feel I have the watering part down as I water slowly and (now) I feel the bottom of the cloth pots to make sure I got it down all the way. Day 37 - a little more LST as I was late to the party of understanding just how important LST, and other techniques, are to increasing your yield. Once you do LST the first time it becomes completely obvious that this is necessary. Plants now need water at different times so I will no longer be documenting when I water. Also I think I correctly diagnosed a wind burn issue and therefore have raised the offending fan a bit. Day 39 - Noticing a little yellowing on some of the leaf tips and found a little more of what I'm calling wind burn on another plant. I moved one of the fans, set the lights back to 75% intensity, and lowered them back to about 20 inches above tops (Mars says 18 inches). I think the ladies will like this better than 3 Mars TS1000's at full intensity inside a 4x4x66 tent (450W total). Note - I'm struggling a bit with temps in this small room. Hard to keep the tent under 80. Then at night the substrate gets down to 66 along with the room temps. So, during the day, when it gets too warm inside the tent, I open the doors and things are OK again. This is not a long term solution cause I can't be opening and closing it every day. Plus it's winter and the outside temps go into the 20's (F) at night. Run the AC in winter? No way. I can't imagine what I'll have to do when outside temps go into the upper 90's every day. So what is the long term solution you say? I've just about made up my mind to do away with the tents and dedicate the entire room for growing. I see myself growing 12 of the same or similar ladies per grow - one grow at a time and I can only fit these if the tents go. I'm currently figuring out what is involved besides grabbing an AC unit and venting it and the room up into the attic. That is what I'm thinking at the moment. Day 41 - upped my game cause I knew that I could not be accurate using my current ph testing solution. Could only get kinda close maybe sorta. So I picked up a BlueLab PH pen (recommended by the "420 Scene"). Long story short it looks like I've been feeding the ladies something near 7.0. Now I am able to get 6.3 or 6.4 consistently. Maybe I want to be at 6.5. Not sure so I'm going for 6.3 +/- 1 for now. Hoping they like it better! Day 42 - life is good. This was a fun week!

Trichomes are spreading out nicely and few pistols are changing colour whilst widening it’s structure am extremely impressed so far by the hey abbby420pro environment and the development of the auto flower compared to outside has massive noticeable upgrades/full control with a camera to check on the development without inter

Hey growers. This week I decided to water with a heavier ppm as the plants didn’t seem too happy. They were showing some yellowing on the lower leaf tips. Guess I was right bc they exploded up to about 12” +-. Then I decided to top and LST the main stem. Today I just adjusted the ties, removed 1-2 leaves from each plant depending if there was any in the mud or not. Yesterday I watered with 525 ppm, but unfortunately the water was a bit on the cold side and they’re having trouble soaking it up. I have since created a rez in my grow room just to hold RO water at approx 70 degrees. So that problem should be rectified. I think I’m right on the cusp of preflower as I’ve seen one or 2 pistils. Regardless they’re doing their thing and I’m trying to do as little as possible to keep them vegging as long as possible and end up beastly!!! Happy Growing 🌱

I’m pretty lazy when it comes to updating this diary! Oh well, here’s the middle of week 1 of flower! I’ve switched to Floraflex. So far so good. Probably do first defoliation this weekend (day 7) First time cloning was successful! I used the EZ-Clone with Clonex. Can’t wait to see what she’s phenos look like! Clones anyone?

Began with equal parts of GH at a very diluted concentration. This week, I increased the concentration to the manufacturer's recommended dosage for seedlings (1/4 tsp per gallon).
