alright, how y'all doing? this week I did defoliated both plants, for the last time, I hope. The Rd started to flowering few days earlier, and the SS on the other hand, is very small in size, I confess when defoliating the next day it looked I didn't do lol. 😵, but yeah I noticed the plants now are going int flowering so no more defoliation for now.. SS its showing it gender but still very shy 😜, I keep telling her, hey, don't be shy be like your friend right there all showing off.. 😇. alright.. feeding schedule.. I was doing some research and couldn't find much at all about mixing different types of fertilisers brand... so I got this advanced nuts ( carlbooad was sent cause they ran out of bud candy but in the website it was available nd on the email I said to send me the big bud then but whatever.. 😕.. I did made a mistake with the nirvana. ( the bottle says> 2 ml/l during all grow fase and during weeks 3 till6 of blooming. ( on the website doing some research found only tu use during weeks 3 till 6 on bloom.)) so with that said I just used as the bottle said, and it was too late, I mean when I realised I had done it already, some lets hope and prays for the best kkkk.... so for the next feeding this week I won't add nirvana yet..will wait 2 more weeks and then put back inside 😆. so. I guess its all for today. let me know ur comments below and suggestions, if had the experience mixing different fertiliser and etc.. even if it was a bad experience pls comment.. thanks y'all c u next week... 👊

Well I decided I had to pull the plug on this girl with all the weird weather we've been having. I've been pulling yellowing fan leaves off her for a couple weeks now and with our 2nd heat wave and all the smoke & ash thrown in for bad measure... it's been truly weird. Yesterday was a day for the record books around here - it was so dark I could tell my pets were spooked. Even they knew it wasn't supposed to be this dark in daytime. Probably how animals react to things like a solar eclipse. If they haven't got somebody nearby to reassure them of some sense of normal - the alarm bells start going off. I hadn't really gotten the impression this girl was all that fragrant during the flowering process UNTIL I was washing all that ash off her this morning - then I was like - WOW this stiff is pretty intense in the nose. One thing I'm pretty sure of is that the sun ain't coming out for a couple more days the ways the smoke be flowing around here. We'll see. Two more plants on the patio but they aren't far behind. September 13 >> Debudded the Widow late this afternoon to make space in my shed to harvest Jack Herer in the morning. She was still a little moist as I harvested her 3 days ago - but it hasn't been that hot. The smoke is still hiding the sun and the atmosphere is labeled "unhealthy". Hung her up in my front bedroom to finish the drying process. I should note the passing of reggae giant (many say inventor) Toots Hibbert, of Toots and the Maytals last Friday. I went looking for some pics of the last show I saw him at and coincidentally it turned out to be one year ago today, September 13, 2019 at the Independant in San Francisco. I was lucky to have seem him a few times. So I uploaded about 30 seconds worth of Pressure Drop from that show. RIP Buddy. 😪 ====================================================== September 21 >> Finished hand trimming the Widow yesterday while mostly listening to the last round of the US Open. In September... while they're playing Stanley Cup playoffs too. Very weird time.... both these things normally happen in June every year. The buds weighed in at basically 8 ounces (227 grams). The trim came in at 325 grams - and in this case I use the Trimbag - although I don't think she was really dry enough to get proper function outa the bag. I still spent over 6 hours hand trimming the remainder AFTER the Trimbag in this case. It wasn't really a problem because I had like 10 hours of US Open coverage for 4 days to burn thru. In the process of turning all that trim into hash at the moment... because I'm all configured to go at the moment after making Wonder Pie hash last week. I'll stick it in the garage to dry for a few days and add the weights later. One thing I've noticed that's probably pandemic-related is 90% isopropyl alcohol has become very hard to find (haven't had to look for like 6 months because I had a couple bottles that lasted). I've used it to clean my glass bong/dab rigs for years. 70% is there - but even that now it's like you have to ask for it. Times change. ====================================================== September 26 >> Weighed out the hash collected from the trim... 12.94 grams 120+160 micron = 1.47 g 73 micron = 5.50 g 25 micron= 5.97 g

This week was solid again. I’m monitoring the two back plants in slightly smaller pots as they are using much less water right now and are also a few days in growth behind their sisters in the larger pots. Very happy with the growth but I wanted to test the plants tolerance to the light at 36” above the canopy. I simply placed 12” pots under each of them rather than lower the light as I have it in a fixed position right now at the very top of the tent. Plants are responding well...or at least there is no negative response as they are still growing very 💪. I am constantly LST’ing in order to keep the canopy low and flat. The Durban’s are only at 10” and the Cali’s are at 13”. I broke one top on the Cali Haze but I grafted it back on with some on hand electrical tape. These girls are much tougher to keep low than the Durban’s so I need every branch! Bumped their feed up to an EC of 1.4 and will continue to increase this week to see how they respond. So far there is no signs of leaf burn. I’ve pre programmed my entire grow with spectrum changes during their transitions and such but i went with a 5 week veg and I’m almost contemplating flipping them after week 4? Anyone else grow 4 plants in a 5x5 tent before? If so, how long did you veg for? I need to keep them fairly low as they are both sativas and will stretch a fair amount and I want to hammer them with UVB at the end but California Lightworks suggests a minimum distance of 24” be maintained between plants And UVB lights.

I wish I could have put them in then tent a few days sooner to speed up growth but all good, ladies needed a few extra days in there. They were transplanted on the last day of this week. Doing a tent full of autos this grow, 20-4 light schedule with 7 plants 7 strains. this diary of course will just be covering my lady purple haze. I put them in 1gal pots for now and will be trans planting to 3gal in about 7-10 days.

FBT2309 is flowering well. She has a sweet flowery aroma at the moment. She is growing under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2, in the Gen1:11 nutrition. She is coming to the end part of bulking. I figure she has about 2 weeks left roughly. She has a nice frost, and is looking great. The organo-mineral nutrition is a bit tougher to grow in. The flavor has been amazing from other grows. So it's worth the extra effort. Thank you Medic Grow, Gen1:11, and Fast Buds for the tester. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g If anyone needs to purchase fastbuds here is a link for my affiliate program https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419

## Week 7 Update: Strong Vegetative Growth 🌿💚 ### 🌱 Vigorous Growth Continues 🌱 Welcome to Week 7! All of the plants—Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin—are still in the vegetative stage, and they’re thriving. This extra time in veg is allowing each plant to develop a strong structure, which will be crucial for supporting heavy buds when we eventually switch to flowering. --- ### 🚀 Vegetative Progress 🚀 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - Growing rapidly, with significant height and branch development. - The plant is responding well to LST, creating a wider canopy for better light distribution. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿** - Compact and bushy, with strong lateral growth. - Perfecting its structure to maximize yield in the flowering phase. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - Building a dense, sturdy frame with lush foliage. - This extra veg time is helping it develop a robust canopy, setting it up for a productive flowering stage. --- ### 🌱 Vegetative Techniques 🌱 To make the most of this vegetative period, I've been focusing on: - **Low-Stress Training (LST):** Continually training branches to create an even canopy and promote multiple bud sites. - **Topping:** Topping has been applied to encourage bushier growth and increase potential yield. - **Defoliation:** Selective defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, ensuring the lower branches get enough light. - **Nutrient Management:** Maintaining a balanced nutrient schedule focused on nitrogen to support healthy vegetative growth. --- ### 🌿 Looking Ahead 🌿 The plants are growing strong, and this extended vegetative stage is giving them the best possible start before we transition to flowering. In the coming weeks, we'll continue to monitor their growth and make any necessary adjustments before initiating the flowering phase. Stay tuned for next week's update as the plants continue to prepare for a successful bloom! Happy growing! 🌿💚

It’s warming up outside so the a/c and dehumidifier are working a bit. Got the lights on during the night so just a few hours at lights on they work a bit hard. Cleaned up underneath removing any sucker shoots and leaf that was near the soil. Not much really. Mostly on #3 as I didn’t train out the branches as much and she grew tighter together, so I removed mostly all inner growth blocking light and that allowed a lot more penetration and flow. Left a few leaves below to die off naturally…more the better. Gonna put some Grub Grenades in the pots with some yellow sticky cards. Not because I see anything, just being cautious. I do see what looks like Springtails but don’t seem to be an issue yet. Still looking green and healthy so I’m happy! Grow on! Update Made a few adjustments. I let the tops grow into the tsw2000, 18” to tops. I didn’t like how they looked so I raised it back to 24” where I’ll keep it. The “Kind LED” I know from previous grows that it can’t get closer then 24”. But this is my first run with “Mars” so I’m still figuring out the distance for my setup with additional overlapping light intensity from other lights. With that being said another pod failed so I’m down 2-Kind LED’s now. Gonna remove all old tech and use all newer TS series lighting. All Mars moving forward. Seems to be a great light and when compared to other quality lights you can’t beat the price!

5 Tage Zelt , aber ich glaub ich trenn da noch einige dinge . alles recht fett geworden . So vom 4 Tag im Trockenzelt mal Photos gemacht. DAs ist also die aktuelle Budgröße . Eine sehr fluffige Sorte !!! Es ist endlich Zeit fakten zu schaffen . Die Ernte hat glatt ein 5 Liter Messbecher gefüllt und hat dabei 145 Gramm erbracht. Die Buds sind eher fluffig als fest . Ein gutes Beispiel dafür das die Buds zwar riesig aussehen , aber eigentlich nichts wiegen. Obwohl das optisch mein Größter Grow war, ist die Erntemenge doch weit aus geringer ausgefallen . Geschmack ist kräftig würzig mit einer Methol Note . Die Trichome sind von einem Sidebud genommen. So wirklich gut getroffen hab ich den Erntezeitpunkt nicht . Aber es klebt und klebt und klebt . Einfach perfekt fürs Vapen durch meine Wasserpfeife .

In all this was a terrible harvest, and because I also do videos for my YouTube channel I don't update on Grow diaries properly which I will start doing with future grows.... Well on my next harvest will definitely do a better job of documenting my harvest details. But in regards to the Dark Phoenix, yeah not a strain I'm a fan off. At first I kept telling myself that I done a terrible job that's why i don't like it... But I need to keep in mind that I'm not going to like all strains, all strains are different and we all have different preferences. Some people might like the Dark Phoenix, me personally I'm not a fan. It has that earthy taste to it... Hashy/kushy...... Smoking it as I'm typing that's why 😅 and even with a longer cure I doubt it would make much of a difference to make me like it. But in all still a nice smoke, good high from her, the high hits you straight away and keeps you active and creative.... Don't know what else to say about her really, just trying to give you guys the best most accurate review that I can without bringing my own personal thoughts about the strain. I might not like it but its still a good smoke. 👍🏾😎

After topping last week we've just been watching them grow. Bending down the branches to help them spread out. Over this next week I'll start my lst ties to help pull them down and out.

Hello Everyone 👏, As you can see, are all Cherry Colas growing, they all have a tightrips in their pots for now, for recognition. Will make nicer pictures of them in a few days. They are now 4 days from germination🙏. The humidifier had been added, so I had to adjust the room a lil bit. Seedlings don't need much nutrients, neighter do autoflowers. with normal soil I would recommend to only give water for 1-2 weeks, since it holds nutrients in it as well. But since I'm using Cocos for this grow, I might have to add some basic nutrients in the upcomming week. For this week I gave/give only water turns and Startbooster turns. Update day 5: - Lowerd the lights to avoid stretching. they are now at 75cm distance from lamp to pots. I want them at 40-50 cm, but I don't want to rush it. - Added another layer of cocos to avoid the soil from drying up therefore the roots from dying. This will happen because of lowering the lamps down, the soil will get exposed more to heat. As you can see, the humidifier is doing his thing haha. Pictures and videos where taken without the lights + fans on. because of that, it will look like this. Still fun thought. Enjoy 🙌

1/25 Week 11 Ripley : Flushing begins with a five gallon flush to move the runoff to under 200ppm and defoliated by pulling almost every leaf on a stem, and god what a bunch there were. This opens the plant and removes those sources of nuets. Going to doing this as quickly as we may so will be monitoring runoff as we go. Tara: Slight Defoliation just trying to keep these leafy SOBs open. Back on Heavy dose of CocoTek and placed in best light I can we just watching the bud growth for how to help this big girl. Will not pick up Peak again until ready to withdraw the CT. Better pics when I can 1/26 Ripley : Second day of flush just keep running water through it till runoff gets low no longer PHing the water, nothing much left in there anyway. Fading really showing now Tara -Zilla : She likes the nuet and light change buds really building now Not getting any taller 1/27 New pics of Ripley she is getting so damn frosty in flush Tara building buds very quickly 1/28 Continuing flush on Ripley, she will be harvested in two days, its fast but we need the space. Tara no changes except more buds 1/30 Ripley removed from tent for harvest. Opened up Tara's binds. Tara now the Queen of all she surveys... All hail Queen Tara The Beast ! 😜 *****RIPLEY HARVEST DAY !!!!! ***** Pics up top Wet weight - 1,140 grams 40.7 Ounces Just looking at it we be lucky to only lose 75% in dry but still not bad! Not a pleasant job trimming - LOTS of leaves UPDATE 261 grams dry, yeah took a beating on the dry but expected it.
