In middle of ripening faze,Girls getting huge and drinks about 2,5 L of water per day nice and sweet smel coming from tent just about 4 am when I waking up 😄 even these are all autos I got them nearly 3 months running and see it on another month or so also still no sings for any colours yet got 2 purple strains in lol next week 3 of them start flush week

9/15/2024 Stretch is moving along nicely. Only bummer is that the tops are crowding the light fixture and reducing the total light penetration. Working to keep the PPFD and DLI in a reasonable range and even across the canopy. First day of week 3 bloom nutrients. Both plants are looking incredible and moving along nicely into flower. Working hard to keep Plant A from overcrowding plant B. 9/17/2024 Adjusting fan setup to promote better circulation around the tent. Continuing to move the light over plant A an inch at a time. Running out of room slowly and will likely be forced to supercrop. Added 40watt bar light over plant B to offset the take over from plant A. 9/21/2024 Discovered herm signs all over plant B during trimming. Decided to cull it to avoid issues with plant A. Going to work to tailor the tent setup to push plant A going forward. The empty bucket will remain in the tent but is disconnected from its feed line and return line to the reservoir. Due to the herm in plant B, I left a lot more plant material on Plant A than I initially planned. With more room, it should hopefully bush out even more! Flower development on plant A is good with great stacking thus far. Still stretching, but slowing down. Any more stretch will require super cropping to avoid burning as I turn the lights up over the next two weeks, Planning to add lower lighting now with the additional space.

3 week flower 100% Power lumatek 3.1 Pro , and 55 cm distance - Hope it works!

October 1 > Harvest morning. New trick... get up before dawn... cut your plant down and hang her upside down... then go back to bed. Hehe... I like this retirement stuff. We get smarter as we age. 😎 I did a fair job of plucking fan leaves before harvest morning so there wasn't that much work for me to do anyway on this girl compared to some of the other monsters she grew up with. Took me only about 90 minutes to complete my normal processing and washing. She developed into a wonderful purple color at the end there. The unique feature of this grow for me was that I never topped this girl. Subsequently she developed a huge single top cola that grew about a foot taller than the rest of the plant. Served as a demonstration of why we top plants in general. Hard for me to imagine what a bunch of these in the wild looks like but this is what WILD looks like. Diary note > I'll come back later and add weights and things. I threw in a weight of 100 grams as a marker to appease the gods. Total guess. ======================================================================== October 7 > Guess I underestimated my yield a tad... love when that happens. 😁 Ended up coming in at 212 grams buds and 181 grams trim. Woohoo. Another growing season officially comes to a close today. 👌✊ Initially I wasn't sure I wanted to use the Trimbag on this baby... because she was my last plant to harvest this year and I had plenty of time to hand trim her... and I harbored various possibly incorrect assumptions about the Trimbag originally which I have now shed. More on that later. Let me lay out my personal Trimbag history here as a learning experience for the community... ======================================================================== Originally I won this tool as part of my September 2018 diary winnings... and I looked at it strictly as a tool for fairly large scale growers.. of which I did not consider myself at that time. I grew an amazingingly oversized Durban Poison for a 5 gallon pot and I got lucky I thought. ... Then I took a look at how much herb I processed this summer and I said THANK YOU Trimbag! It saved me more than enough hours of hand trimming to demonstrate it’s usefulness. (October 12) >> Already slowing down in post-harvest mode hehe... so it looks like I did the same thing as last year diary-wise. Now I have another Trimbag on my hands but all I need is another magnet actually (hehe)... the zippers show no signs of sticking up at this point after me throwing about 2-3 pounds of herb threw the mill, and the overall bag has only lightly been used at this point IMHO. I'm a little surprised I lost that magnet and it's not a great sign for the longevity of the embroidery - so to speak, but other than that it's solid construction. And simple. I’ll be contacting Trimbag to see if I can acquire a new magnet and we’ll see how that goes. Back to my expectations... I only used this device on stuff I grew outdoors... of which I had enough... more than twice what I grew last summer - but that was by design. If I was to set out a general rule… I would say that I expect the weight of buds to be roughly equal to the weight of trim. This is AFTER I have thrown away any fan leaves plucked on the morning of harvest which are not saved as trim. I stop plucking when buds start to get ripped up if I don’t. Round 1 >> The first go was the early Amnesia 7 batch (Little Girl flowered early), and honestly, I was unimpressed. I looked at it as maybe I didn't let it dry long enough. I have a ritual of washing all my outdoor grown herb which has generally tended to cause things to dry a tad quicker than what one would expect in the field. I walked away from this initial experience like boy I hope I screwed that up and it works better on round 2. Round 2 >> Cream & Cheese CBD ... I think this girl did more to confuse me than anything else. The buds were not oversized but she seemed to take forever to dry. Part of this is probably attributable to excess humidity in the first few days - a weird week - we actually had some rain which is very unusual. But even after a week of drying I only managed 63g of shake on this batch (via the Trimbag). I'm going WTF? Ahem.... I ended up with 269 grams of buds for my Cream & Cheese. After that 63 g shake by bag I added 165 g trim by hand... and I was seriously wondering why this bag thang existed. Turns out C&C was not a good example.... so don't let the bad things weigh you down. Round 3 >> Next came Northern Lights - and my attitude changed completely. I harvested 319g buds, but the initial run with Trimbag generated 144g trim which I followed with 186g hand trim. NL had very dense buds and large internodal spacing which made trimming EZ. She was a monster… but at the same time I had her trimmed in under 4 hours. Of all the beasties I grew outdoors this summer, this was the largest yield for a single plant - but trimming her was a relative breeze, and it felt like it. I thought I hit the sweet spot for maybe how dry the herb needed to be for the product to work well… but probably only partially correct. Plant structure is significant. Round 4 >> Next came round 2 with Amnesia. As I noted in my diary I knew I was going to end up with a pound of herb on this particular strain so I tried to beat this particular batch up to minimize my hand trimming and see what the effect was. The end result of this was that I generated a smaller amount of buds from the larger sized pot (Little Girl was in a 10 gallon container and generated 235g buds/ 360g trim and Big Girl was in a 15 gallon container that generated 223g buds/ 493g trim). Round 5 >> Next came where we’re at in this here diary…Purple Berry Kush. Now originally I wasn’t sure I wanted to run this baby thru the mill. I THOUGHT that maybe because I hadn’t topped this girl and I didn’t put her in a pot bigger than 7 gallons which put her at a direct disadvantage vs my other outdoor girls that the yield would be substantially smaller, but I’ll be damned she ended up with 212g buds. Very satisfied there… and this stuff smells great when I let her get some air. The key here on trimming for this round was twofold. I let the buds dry longer than I normally would have by a few days… because I had nothing pushing me to make space for reason A… and because stuff was intervening for reason B… golf tournament… Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF (Robert Plant was awesome - we share the same birthday and he was 71 in August - I can only hope I’m still rockin’ that hard in 9 years)…you know - stuff. PBK ended up working out the best of all. 212g buds vs 181g trim. That’s the ONLY variant that ended up with more buds than trim. Part of that was how easy PBK was to maintain. I only did ONE major pruning of internal growth - probably later than I should have - I was trying hard to let her grow as wild as possible. But she was very easy to prune fan leaves off when that purple time came. It’s seems clear at this point that indica’s are easier to trim than sativa’s with a Trimbag…. but I’m not sure that’s going to be a revelation to anyone. As far as I’m concerned, anything that grows with an inter-nodal spacing that allows you to neatly separate your buds will work better with the Trimbag. DRY is a necessary ingredient for using this device. Probably drier than I am accustomed to… but that’s why somebody invented Boveda packs right? Anyway… I’m a VERY SATISFIED Trimbag customer at this point. It takes a little work to determine how dry your herb needs to be but even if you have to experiment, the number of hours you save from hand trimming will eventually make it worth your while… and as a newly minted senior citizen I can say that while my time might be free - anything that helps reduce pain - including time spent trimming - becomes quite significant. NOW —> The other side of this coin is that I will probably NOT use the Trimbag when I get back to indoor growing in early December… because I expect to be growing much smaller plants. Most of the things I’ve grown indoors top out at less than a couple ounces so it’s not clear to me that Trimbag is necessary with a yield that small… but I can test that theory later this winter. ================================================= hehe… I kinda promised myself “no more winter crops” after last summers bounty but I found that making edibles consumes a significant quantity of herb, and I really like my brownies. So now that I’ve stocked up to solve that problem, I plan to get back to some indoor growing (because growing is FUN)… mainly autoflowers. I actually have better control of temperature for things that I grow in winter as opposed to summer… but I have to add the heat to make that happen. That compares with the difficulty of adequate cooling if I run my lights during daytime in summer - even with night lights summer temps can be a problem with no AC. I don’t have AC in my house. It’s a function of California microclimates. If I lived 15 miles east of here - we’d BAKE with no AC (air conditioning). If it weren’t for coastal fog - this whole place would be a desert. With climate change - we’re heading that way even WITH the fog. We roll the dice here every winter and hope we get enough snow in the Sierra to hold off the firestorms that will come in the fall. We went thru a period of “drought” here in California a relatively short while back but even though we are officially out of our drought phase the fall firestorm intensity seems to be getting worse every year. But this is a clear sign I’ve consumed too much indica for one evening and I’m starting to lose track of.... just about everything. Anyhow… I think I’m about diaried out for this year. I have a pretty freaking serious vacation planned to celebrate my retirement for late next month… Las Vegas golf > Joshua Tree National Park camping > Palm Desert resort golf > Beach camping South Carlsbad > Torrey Pines golf > Laguna Beach > Pismo Beach camping > Monterey. It’s been about 30 years since I did anything this crazy (and that was a Grateful Dead tour in 1987 thru Arizona/Utah/California for my 30th birthday). Big difference this time around? Cannabis is LEGAL for the entire trip. I will be well stocked enough to sedate anything that gets near me. See y’all in December. 😎

2 días entre servilletas y al sustrato. Aprox 12 hrs en obscuridad y se comienza el ciclo lumínico 👌👊👨‍🌾🏻

Nice!

She has grow well with some nice buds

Start of week 8. Week 7 went very well, the buds really filled in and packed on weight. Their are tons of red hairs in this Blue Dream beauty and she's got an amazing smell!

Viel weggeschnitten, wächst sehr gut

Flower Week 7 Only Water 💧

Wir starten in die BW 5 Pflanzen sehen sehr gesund aus. LST ein wenig nachjustiert. Richtiger gesamt Bericht Ende der Woche

Everything is good now. They are healthy and smell very good! Having some troubles with the humidity, but everything looks very good at day 20 since switch.

This particular one requires a fair bit of attention with defol but certainly worth the effort, she’s dripping with resin already. Added an extra fan to keep air moving over and humidity down . Same same next week

Day 37 We started with nutes today Then all day long outdoors From 6AM to 6PM Plus CFL afterwards They rest for 3 hours and then CFL again Btw accidentally snapped one part of one big leave but that okay Since we don't do defoliation on her We guessing it's okay she will recover soon Day 38 Since she's such a queen we wanted to upload a video showing how she starts flowering for the record, thanks a lot You can Always follow me at Instagram @cannagrowersiriuz Also don't forget to add your comment below, it is important to us! We want to learn, any tips, suggestion, more than welcome my friends Happy Growing Day 39 Some mins before installing ScroG Day 40 Wonderful, she's out of there already so huge, full of buds Day 41 she's actually doing great full of buds but those 2 first leaves are a little bit sad looking weird plus those black dots idk and it's turning yellow in between I decided to remove it and well, I'm hoping she's doing well what else I could think of guys any help or concerns? At the end of the day, she's overall healthy and strong Day 42 Time to feed the babies, so we added 900PPM (300ml) floranova grow Followed by 1590ppm (300ml) flora nova bloom to make sure she's got all nutrients balanced well, also added 400ml of plain water after that so they could get a nice run off. I think they're happy and we gonna check on them in a couple days to see how they go, Ph is around 6.2 which is great Temp outdoors from 7-@ 1pm around 25C to 36C Then back indoors Temp is 28C and drop to 22 at night and dawn so they're good and comfortable Keeping humidity lvls around 40/65% top Nice AC and Fan for air circulation Thank you all for your support

OK so this weeks kicking off big time lots of flowering everything’s really taking off plants are really loving the nutrients super happy with this grow so far I switched bulbs at the beginning of this week to my HPS super excited about the next few weeks I’ll update soon thanks for stopping by!! Quick update its dat 31 32-ish these things are really getting big the LST worked great some of them are kind of thin in the middle but got lots of tops nice bushes the OG Kush just looks killer has a kind of open spread out look I love it it’s going to produce some big buds I can tell! It’s the end of the week I Defoliated again and tied a few more branches down one of the jacks still has a pretty low center but it’s starting to catch up all the plants seem to really be loving the feeling and are starting to really stack up the buds The next few weeks should be fun!

Plant is growing fast. Top leaves and stems are growing darker and purple after new lamp and nutrients were added a week ago

the biggest plant on the right is booming, the one in the middle as well and fingers crossed for that one on the left not to die 😃 ––––– for some reason the one on the left does not want to start maturing, maybe stressed her way too much 😞 ––––– today i checked trichomes for the first time and vast majority is still clear eventhough pistils are turning orange 😊
