Sep 7: what a great plant. Totally love how it’s going. Flowers keep getting fatter and heavier and she’ll be done before the end of September. Sep 8: there a tree root sticking up a bit in my yard which means the plant can be tilted toward the late afternoon sun. This is helpful because the sun is getting really low to the horizon already and we’re down to 13 h of daylight. Plus now direct sun is done in my yard by about 6 pm. Indirect light is okay but you really want direct sun at all times. Videos shows use of 730 nm far red light at dusk. Just a few seconds is all it takes to set the plant into dark mode two hours faster. It’s a bloom booster because you get two bonus hours of darkness or a 26 h day. Very effective but don’t miss a night and you have to adjust the timing each night. When starting this on July 20 Civil Twilight, as listed on timeanddate.com for my location, was at 9:45 and today it was at 8:40 pm. The red light at dusk is a highly recommended trick if you have daily access to your outdoor plants. Also works indoors, of course, and on autos too. Also I think it helps ‘stabilize’ the plant by emphatically putting it into dark mode, and therefore less susceptible to stray light to cause a hermie. Have not had hermie problems in four seasons of using the red light so that is my only ‘proof’ but it is true so far, even with taking flash pics before using the red light. Sep 9: getting heavier and now more branches are weighed down and slumping against the scrog net. Nice problem to have, I know, and without the scrog net some of the branches would be breaking off now. She’s now officially too big and too top heavy to keep moving around the yard in pursuit of direct sun. Sun is much lower to horizon now and direct sun hours are dropping too. Sep 10: getting close to done and getting very top heavy. Awesome. Sep 12: raining today. Has been cool last few nights and some purple colour is just starting to show. I don’t want to overdo fertilizer near the end, but I decided she is showing K deficiency. I’m out of malted barley but I still have potassium silicate, so I used that and some cal-mag. I’m avoiding kelp and molasses or using more P at this late stage because that can make the dried bud hard to burn and that really sucks. So, potassium silicate and cal-mag it is. The potassium silicate raises the pH and it takes about the same volume of vinegar to get the pH down. A good does of acetate is likely good for the bugs in the soil too. Then a squirt of Dr Bronners soap as a surfactant and that also supplies some biodegradable carbon for the bugs in the soil. Seems to work overall and is cheap. Apologies for the large number of pics, but she’s so photogenic. 😎 #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

Switched to flowering. She grew 10cm in 3 days... absolutely crazy. I took the tough decision to discontinue the TimeLapse. My tent is not big enough to have the camera in a place that kinda makes sense. So I'll be taking manual photos in the coming days and uploading those.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Flush time, within the end of this week is now flush time. To summary this week i just kept on my feeding habits, Water with base > Water with boosters, alternating Recharge. My led seams to be crashing a bit, the colors are not stable as is possible to see in the timelapse. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, with a slight amber. 9 weeks flowering time will be exact, just need time to flush, they are maturing fast fast, hairs are getting orange in a blink. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Compared to the Blueberry the nugs are thinner, still nice size, a bit less dense, thru the stems there are many popcorn buds, that is also due to the less removal on this girl to test. Loaded with colas and the scent is very sugary too, a bit stronger than the BB, and the hairs are turning orange faster, starting to look very mature. Defoliated a bit to avoid rot, will defoliate more for this reason.

Well Cannafam weve come to the end(not of us i still love you 💚) Firstly i would just like to say a massive thanks to Divine Seeds for letting me take part 😊 I gave her the chop yesterday slightly earlier than planned as the nute burn had started getting near the buds and i didnt want to compromise bud quality. The trichomes on the upper half of the plant are mostly cloudy with a few amber and some beautiful pink ones also, however pics shown are mainly from the lower buds due to slight issues trying to keep buds still while aligning the phone/magnifier 😊 This gal grew like an absolute beast throughout the cycle and i would say is the most rapid ive grown! She was absolutley honking in the end and i can't wait to sample her sweet buds. Overall this grow has been immensly enjoyable and il deffo be growing again at some point. Ive not done wet weight as yet as i didnt want to chop her monster buds up, but once dry il trim further and give the final weight with smoke report and further photos. Thank you to everyone who has commented/liked and i hope you've enjoyed this diary 😊 Peace and Love Friends ✌️💚💚💚 ********** Update************* Hey Cannafam, Well ive tried this gal after curing in my vape and very happy. After drying there was a fair bit of shrinkage but the smoke is lovely. As soon as you take a bit she stops all thoughts in the mind immediately followed by complete muscle release and i would say moderate pain relief. A medium strength Erb good for the evening and i just chilled out watchin southpark and fell asleep shortly after for a really good nights sleep which is perfect for me, i will definitely grow this gal again 😊✌️

Now we are going to week four, the plants have started to really vegetate, I have seen rapid growth in cannabis and other plants before, however, this strain is growing very large at a tremendous pace. I am having no issues so far, I am doing very light training and I started using pH down, as the plants ingest the nutrients the pH is rapidly rising. I hope to preserve perfect pH within the next week and continue on. I have been adding a gallon of water every three days to keep the reservoir at the right level. The plants are receiving a constant PPM of 400. Not only am I seeing five-finger leaves but I am also seeing seven-finger leaves. The plants are looking very healthy and there are no issues at all so far. I have Started to train the plants and started mainlining, I have also slightly defoliated the plant. This Plant is overgrowing the free seed from seedsmen. ( in hindsight I have never gotten any good free seeds from seedsmen) Science: There are a few ideas in this grow journal that I am toying with. The first idea is putting low-voltage conduction through the roots of the plants, I strongly believe that stimulating the the roots with electricity will induce larger and stronger vegetation. The other idea is blasting the plants with low decibel sound waves. We will see. There is another idea I have with string LED lights. However, I'm going to keep some of my secret sauce to myself.

After this upcoming week of veg I'm switching to flower. Although I like the idea of having so many plants I am considering following through with my survival of the fittest and only keeping the plants I can tell are hungry and growing. I have noticed that some aren't growing as fast anymore and I have a lot of strains to plant after this.

For the Herbies contest - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/157348-grow-journal-by-dabbertglobberfield#gallery=6777378 - Grandmommy Purple is guilty multiple noise violations for being too loud and for stanky funk. Harvest - 169 days / 66 days in flower Well, we did it. I made it to the end. All I can think is...WOW that was A LOT of work. But I think I had very good results for a first time grower. I For harvest, we took Plant B and D and prepared them for immediate freezing. Altogether, I ended up with 1212g wet on plant B and 1089g wet on plant D. I ended up freezing 1816g of this. There was some from each of these plants that was set aside from freezing because, for whatever reason, I thought they were not worthy of washing because of how progressed the leaf damage was from the root rot battle. So that was cut up and dried as nuggets instead of hanging like the rest. Sawtooth and Plant C were both harvested and hung in the tent to dry for 12-13 days. I think I overdried by 1-2 days because when I jarred them they struggled to raise up to 55%. So I am using rh% packs. After drying Sawtooth and plant C, I ended up at 459.8g for dried flower and 170.8g in dried trim. So just over 1lbs between the 2 plants and 4.15lbs wet between the other 2 plants that was washed for hash. So... are you for real with the effort involved with washing bud for bubble hash? I don't think I would do this in the warmth. I only pursued doing bubble hash cause it's cold right now and I figured that would really help. Even in the 30s(fahrenheit) stuff would stick. It's hilarious how sticky of a process this is. I hope you have a bunch of gloves, water, and ice to burn through. I went through over 60 gallons of distilled water and 80lbs of ice to wash the 4 lbs. I am envious of people in videos using a hose to collect, clean, and refill. Also, doing this as a 1 person show is the definition of insanity. I broke the washings up into 3 parts. The first part was was the tester wash. I broke off 420g of plant D's 848gs available. I used 7 bags to see where I would end up. I used 220, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45, 25. What I determined was that if I was hunting a specific micron with a lot of material this would help find what you can get. But for the next washing I reduced the amount of bags to 4; 220, 160, 45, 25. The time, with the 4 bags, I washed with 809g. I had a much more favorable experience and return this second time but I had green fast and probably used too much ice. The 3rd wash was the remaining 631g and I found an extra 137g I added of sugar leaves and trim, brining the 3rd wash to 768g. I used 5 bags this time; 220, 160, 73, 45, 25. By the 3rd wash I have become an expert in collection but also never want to do it again. lol. 2 of the 3 washes have dried and I have 43.4g of bubble and 2.8g of dry sift. 37.4g of that bubble is able to be pressed into rosin. I will probably press that dry sift as well. The other stuff is 25u or 160u that I will experiment with or cook with. The other stuff is drying so I can't add it all in. I pressed a bunch of trim and some flower. The trim presses nice and the dab is decent. I am working out a good temp for the flower. But the problem with all these tests to find the sweet spot is that I have all these testers to go through but want to keep pressing and trying that! I think I will need to work on a better storage solution. I can't wait for the fresh frozen bubble hash rosin pressing... I have over 20gs of bubble to put in one bag. I am really looking forward to this. But I will need to work up to that pressing since I have never pressed hash/kief/bubble before in my rosin press. So this should be really fun. I will 100% post an update of the hash pressing once I do that and also after the 3rd wash session is done drying. In closing, saying I learned a lot from this grow would be an understatement. I fully expect to start it back up in a few weeks after some R&R then some R&D. There's some things I will need to work on before I start again, such as: having a single external reservoir that feeds multiple plants, hard to clog and easy to use ebb and flow system, miscellaneous final run stuff like space for drying. So thanks everyone for hanging out and perusing the photos and or reading all my huge rambling updates and thanks to those for the help along the way.

Zamnesia's Permanent Marker is a flagship product from our trusted breeder; everyone loves it, and I know exactly why it's fantastic. It's often sold out, so let's regrow it after the previous summer run. I want to see how it does in winter. Techniques chosen: The plant started out very well, growing beautifully until the fifth internode, when a pruning was performed. Then, in a very short time, a second pruning was performed, and the third on the day of the photos. Incredibly quick in terms of reaction time to topping, it's very suitable for this technique because the buds regrow very quickly and it's time for the next pruning. Unfortunately, we're still in a 6.5-liter pot, and it's very sad, but due to space constraints, we'll be moving to a 20-liter big pot very soon. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to get off to a smoother and more reliable start without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week is more than enough, so don't overdo it. We're in the early stages of the vegetative phase, but we're well-equipped with fertilizers and additives. We added: - Power Roots 1 ml/l - Pure Zym 1 ml/l - Silic Rock 1 ml/l - CalMag Pro 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal 1 ml/l - Alga Grow 3 ml/l (we lower the nitrogen during topping; overfeeding is more likely) Once a week as a foliar spray: Vita Race 5 ml/l Choose your preferred style and calculate the results on the website: www.plagron.com Our new 720W Spider King lamp from Vanguard Hydroponics is still at its lowest setting. Visit the new Growshop area on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/531-growshop Our permanent marker is in excellent condition. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/12508-zamnesia-seeds-permanent-marker.html Z - Here's a great opportunity to enrich your genetic library with another award-winning strain: Permanent Marker was crowned Leafly's 2023 Strain of the Year thanks to its intense aromas, high THC levels, and vibrant body. Originally bred by JBeezy and Seed Junky Genetics, our team managed to secure a cutting of this modern flagship cultivar, so you can conveniently grow it at home, indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. Permanent Marker adapts perfectly to any environment! Permanent Marker is a pleasure to grow, just like any other strain created by JBeezy. While perfect for growing in a grow tent or room, this strain also excels outdoors thanks to its balanced genetic mix of 70% indica and 30% sativa. Within a few weeks of germination, plants develop a robust structure, characterized by bushy canopies and sturdy stems with closely spaced internodes, typical of its indica heritage. Indoors, Permanent Marker can reach heights of 160 cm and complete its flowering cycle in just 8-9 weeks, offering yields of up to 550 g/m². Outdoors, however, these plants can grow up to 180 cm, offering impressive harvests of up to 750 g/plant by the end of September. You know it, but I recommend it—you'll find so many wonderful things here, essentially "all the best nature has to offer."
