Day 82 - 12/12/19 So harvest is here and what a journey this has been :) This plant took much longer than the others but paid off at the end with huge colas! Wet weigh was around 400g so im expecting about 60g from this once dried :) Has a slight fruity/spicy taste to it. i wont be able to honestly tell until fully dried and cured though :) Big thanks to RQS for thier amazing genetics and a big thanks to all who helped out along the way! Il update the dry weight when dried and the bud report all throughout curing :) Day 85 - 16/12/19 All buds have been dried and damn it really filled up this 68g jar! i got 64g dry weight of prime buds probably another 10g of popcorn buds that i threw in with the trim. coming into heavy flowering i expected an ounce, after i started adding calmag and pk13/14 the buds exploded. and my expectations raised to about 45g. for it to be 64g at harvest from a 43cm tall plant thats something. A few experienced growers reckoned the high yield was because of polyploidy which i believe is a genetic mutation. i looked it up and i cant say if this is what happened or not. The bud has been dried fully and slower than last time, ive tried to have airflow somewhat around the buds but not too close to avoid drying too quick. Ive only been curing for a day but its so smooth already. ive never tried anything like lowryder which is the makeup of this strain so il have to honestly rate it once cured for a week or so :) but until then i will say its been getting me quite stoned and couchlocked. i definitely harvested near the end of the harvest window. il add a final update once cured for a week so u guys know what this strain is like as a final product. Day 89 - 19/12/19 Ive cured for around a week and ive been smoking the buds and watching christmas movies alot! :'D The curing has developed a nice hit on the throat and more flavour along with burning better in joints and bongs :) ive smoked some exotic strains but i honestly feel this is among the best grown smoke ive had. it just feels so well grown with a smooth burn! i definitely harvested on the later side of the harvest window as buds have mostly amber pistils and smoking them gets me pretty stoned and sleepy! this is great as i have trouble sleeping and relaxing. i havent had this much sleep in a while. while i would say this is fairly average bud i still would rate it a solid 7, sure it might not have a strong exotic smell or flavour but it gets the job done well! and the high yield really impressed me. considering i need to be growing enough to stay medicated the 64g dry weight really made my day! Its very relaxing to know you dont have to struggle to get your medicine! I added a few photos of the best buds in the jar and im really impressed with myself for growing some fat buds! Have a good christmas folks and hope you enjoyed the diary, im gonna add it in to the newbie christmas draw so keep an eye out for it on there :) Finally i added a video of the little cayenne pepper plant featured in week 4 of this diary, its 78 days old now and is growing nice green waxy peppers :) I cant wait to makesome chilli flakes and some soup to keep me warm over the winter as soon as the peppers ripen! Take care folks and have a happy new year!

I added a small video of the garden and will update this week further near day 35. 9/20 // The ladies rebounded nicely from the 9/11 overfeeding. Fed and watered them today. Willow at 1/4 nutes and Buffy at 1/8 nutes. 9/22 // Feeling good at the end of week 5. The ladies have responded well to the light feeding on 9/20, and I have started adding Big Bud to the mix.

Week 7 VEG – The White OG (Seedsman Seeds) This week was all about shaping, training, and refining. We stepped into the art of mainlining, guiding her structure into perfection while giving her the space to shine. A little seduction, a little discipline, and a whole lot of plant love. 😏✨ 🌿 Mainlining: The Art of Balance Mainlining isn’t just training—it’s sculpting. By evenly distributing energy and growth, we create a strong, symmetrical plant that’s ready to thrive. 🔹 Topped and trained – Ensuring equal energy flow and balanced growth. 🔹 Leaving two nodes per branch – Structuring her for a powerful, even canopy. 🔹 Guiding her gently – With the right support, she bends but never breaks. 🍃 Defoliation: Light, Air, and Growth Less is more when it comes to defoliation! The goal? More light penetration, better airflow, and a happier plant. 💡 Removing lower leaves – Redirecting energy to the most important growth points. 💨 Improving airflow – Keeping her environment fresh and reducing moisture buildup. 🌞 Allowing deeper light penetration – No more shadows, just pure, even growth. 🔥 The Studio Treatment This week, she got the VIP studio treatment—out of the tent, under the lens, and shining against that sleek black background. Sometimes, you just have to appreciate the beauty of the work in progress. Tent Conditions & Feedings 🔸 Temps: Around 18°C – a little chilly, but she’s handling it like a champ. 🔸 RH: 60% – Keeping that balance for steady veg growth. 🔸 Feed: Still running Aptus Holland’s organic-mineral lineup—strong, steady, and full of potential. 🔸 Lights: Future of Grow LED, 200 PPFD—keeping her compact and thriving. 💚 Shoutouts & Love Huge thank you to the amazing sponsors and supporters! 🌱 @Seedsman @AptusHolland @FutureofGrow @TrolMaster @ProMixSoil @Cannakan 🌍 Special shoutout to the entire Grow Diaries family, the followers, the lovers, the haters—this one’s for you all! 👀 New episodes dropping weekly on YouTube!

The pound cake is trucking along I could not ask for anything better at this point. This 1st week of them being alive has been decent. They have been healthy and reaching for the light the whole time. I moved them under my spider farmer 100w light so they can start getting used to that light. The smaller 55w light inhave has a significant more blue light in its spectrum I like it alot for seedlings it's just when the plants get to thisbsize that other light doesn't have enough light bounce ming around the tent to get any side lighting. I'm thinking this being an auto I need it to brach out earlier than I normally make my plants branch out. Also I plant to transplant them sometime soon . I have not decided if I want to use my regular 2gal plastic pots or use some of my 4 gal fabric pots. I like fabric pots it's just they are alot harder to take the plants to the bathroom and run water theu the soil at different times thru flower. I don't think I will need to flush my plants nearly as often now that I have switched away from fox farm soil this grow. My grows before I was useing foxfarm happy frog and then mixing happy from with coco loco. That stuff worked decent just the happy frog has so much humlic acid my plants would always go into lockout soon as they started to flower.

* ********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination *********** * It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process👍 This week she continued to fill in and she also pushed out more frosty tricombs!! The fade happened this week more and she fed off of more of the nutrients within the plant.....perfect😃......would like a little more even but she was ready based on tricombs. Would like to have seen the lower leaves a little more yellow but its good. I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a week☹️ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops🤬🤬🤬 Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run😉👍 Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16” hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped😃😃 Not really a lot more to add this week as it was mainly looking at the tricombs and her buds. The pH will impact the harvest but she has been fun to grow and very resilient to pest and bug issues as well as grower curve balls. As always.......nice job Sweet Seeds....... SWS56 is very solid and I look forward to running her again one day. Beautiful little girl and makes me smile😃😃😃 Little more detail...... June 20/20 - Day 71 - Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0pH - 8L given to get a good flush....pH still running around 7.4 - Runoff in pots already were 7.9pH and 685ppm. - after 8L water runoff was 7.4pH and 360ppm. - she is 20” tall and 24” wide. - a number of clear tricombs but more becoming cloudy. June 21/20 - Day 72 - dry out day. - buds are firming up......squeezed a couple🧐 June 22/20 - Day 73 - Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!! - Given 2L watering. - No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium. - her frost levels are really coming out now.....was able to lower tent temps to 75 degrees and 51% humidity......its been raining a bit so damn humidity has been high. June 23/20 - Day 74 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!! - not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can - her tops are getting more pointy now and ripening nicely - leaves continue to fade......she is close - checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday. June 24/20 - Day 75 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0 - Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture. - drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole. - into darkness tonight So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!! Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmie‘s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment😃👍👍 Sweet Seeds girls are very solid genetics with great vigour and resilience.......this strain is no different........great job Sweet Seeds🙏

This week I changed the whole tent. I switched over to a MarsHydro TS1000 and have it cranked up to 100%. The light came in and I immediately had to separate the controller from the light and fix the mounting hardware. But that led me to realize I can have a much more temperature controlled and consistent environment. This light is a cool running light. Shout out to the light sponsor MarsHydro for the opportunity to break it in and let her loose next grow!

Week 9 Flush week for PE1 & PL1. Most pistils are brown or are browning and a large portion of trichomes are turning milky with some turning brown so, another week and they should be ready to harvest. PE2 still has little more time and should follow a week after. PE1 is looking and smelling mighty tasty. She's filled out nicely with clearly defined chunky buds. I just can't wait to trim those down. Despite being outside I can smell the pineapples on the groundfloor at the other end of the garden 😂 PE2 is also looking beautiful but still, has a few weeks left in her. The lemonade could be chopped now in my opinion however, I wanted this one to be my nightime smoke so i'm going to let her mature another week and chop along with PE1. She's so compact I can't really tell where each bud site is, guess i'll find out soon. I've also been preparing my shed for drying. Last season I used the office and stunk the entire house out, it was so strong at one point it made me feel a little sick. My wife, well, she was NOT happy; I'am amazed how she puts up with all my shit, she's an awesome girl. So rather than put us all through that again Inchose the shed. The challenge with the shed was to get rid of the smell. The people who lived here previously stored pool chemicals in there so it took me a few months to get any residual smell of chlorine etc out. It now just smells like somewhere dark so, should be good. The only concern is airflow. I have a fan in there but there's no ventilation. I could keep the door open but I don't want to encourage anyone to go looking for its source 😁

No problems just steady grow haven't added any extra nutrients

RIP!!! This week we went up to check on her 3 days after the was moved into her new home and she was looking very healthy. Then when we went to check on day 4, SHE WAS COMPLETELY GONE!!! We don’t know what happened, however we assume that a wallaby or another animal ate her. As we are guerilla growing, it is very difficult to manage things such as pests. And our location has a lot of frequent wallabies, so it was only a matter of time. This is a very sad day indeed, but now we can learn from our mistakes and put a cover over the rest of our batch. RIP!!!

Busted out a new soil analyzer, used it on another plants pot that has been having issues, 7PH. Last weeks transplant and used of PHd 7 water worked and cleared my calcium/magnesium lockout but now causing autoflowers and bagseed to grow a bit more slowly. As far as this SD plant, it's still seeing 6.0-.6.15 steady and that's why this plant is bangin' through early vegetation quickly. I've also caught this problem early with this plant and have gone way down on ferts and water amounts. Each afternoon when this plants fan leaves start to look a bit drab, one full cup of straight RO with a quarter tsp. Maxigrow, let that dissolve, fizzle the water and turn pp yellow, 1.5mL Sweet Raw and 2mL Hydrogurad, stir and add by feeder syringe. I'm pretty sure soil is fine too as bot lh my soil readers show 6 and 7 respectively on all pots(should be, same soil, same nutes) but you can literally see plants that I've overfed, this SD plantbis not one of them so soil is well buffered. I'm also scrambling to raise the lights to get all 5 plants good top coverage but the more I raise the lights, the more I see nodes and lateral braching stretch. Definitely not an auto or Indica Dominant. Bought some #2 2.6Gal pots today, will sterilize and coat with copper sulfate and mix up some Ocean Forest with a bit of silica sand, tiny bit of Oak wood ash and also new, Dr. Earths Blood Meal with whats left of my Tree and Nut dry amendments from same company. Have had alot of good results with these mix in or too dress fertilizers, buds are much more dank than when using chemical ferts! I will most likely cut out the maxigro, start using Brier Rabbit Blackstrap Molasses, keep using Floralicious Plus and the Botanicaire line and back with the Alaska Fish Fertilizer, all just in much lighter amounts!! Blood Meal will make this plant HUGE and FAT...just remember...be super skimpy on the amounts used!

Week 4 of the reveg. And we’re almost there👍. We could flip half the plants to flower now but the others are gonna need another week, maybe 2 before they’re ready. This weeks mostly been about chopp’n out the old buds at the base of the stems and spreading branches. About half of em are still workn on branching while the other half has shown vegetative maturity and remain ready for flower at any time. Kinda predictable - the white widow is again, on beast mode next to the others. Northern lights and SOG Lookn good too. Blueberrys got a little more work to do and the boogie nights still needs to find its way as well. Other than that - the system is still purr’n like a kitten and the plants seem to be loving the Berkana nutes. Hopefully not much longer n the veg. Cycle so that we can finally bring these strains to a full flower close.👍 Background This ones tied to part 2 of the pollen chuck. They were supposed to be a clone run for pollination but the mothers all reveg’d due to a timer incident and high stupidity. These will be the inaugural flowering run of the revamped dutchy system. Growing made easy😉. Shit ton of finagling and setup but once she’s ready - sit back, relax and watch em grow😍😎. Thanks for take’n a look.

🌿 Woche 8 - Zweite Erntewoche ️🌿 🌱 Wachstum🌱 Lady 2 wurde Ende Woche 9 also nach knapp 10 Wochen auch geerntet. Bei ihr kam erwarungsgemäß mehr rum bei rum. 47g bei Pflanze Nr. 2 Heißt All in All 83g. Die Mängel sind kaum noch zu übersehen. Ich bin überzeugt das die Pflanze zum Schluss ihr volles Potenzial nicht ausschöpfen konnte. Trotzdem haben es viele gute Buds geschafft und der Rest sieht auch rauchbar aus 😋 🌱 Living Soil🌱 Ich bin mit der Erde so semi zufrieden. Aber wenn man die Umstände bedenkt, und das eigentlich zu kleine Beet, für gleich 2 Pflanzen. Kann ich mich doch noch glücklich schätzen. Nächstes Mal vllt nur eine Pflanze 😜 Vllt hab ich auch hier und da was falsch gemacht. Der Blumat hat mich mitten im Run auch im Stich gelassen. Vllt war es hin und wieder doch etwas zu Trocken. Grade in der 2. Hälfte des Runs. Bevor ich den nächsten Grow starte , werd das wohl überholen müssen. 💡 Licht & Schatten PPFD 📈 gegen Ende ca. 950 µmol/m²/s. ☀️ Wetter Die Temperaturen sind und bleiben brutal: 25–31 °C 🌡️🔥 🎶 The Grow must go on! 🌱✨

Some nuts deficiency but fixed right away Snaped while training But she is a survivor

Buds start to get frosty with THC added second netting due to bending stems because of the buds also keeps plants neat

Day 64 since seed touched soil. Cookie is real surprise, still packing, colas long but stacked nice, on natural light she is starting to spark too !!! Girl got 7-8 liters in, all run off collected, that should last for 5 days holidays. Day 69. They survived !!! All good, lasted 5 days and 12 hours. Big pots pay off sometimes ;))) This grow is sponsored by Mars Hydro, i test TSL 2000 and it works amazingly, guess ill have my 10 ounce target easy. Happy Growing !!!

Love using Grow Diaries and the community of people I have met and chatted with along the way ❤️🇨🇦👊 I’ve “grown” so much over the past year from the advice and journals posted! Thanks Growmie’s! 👊❤️
