Chugging right along, the buds on this one are miniscule compared to the pot-mate's. Makes me wonder if it's a slower genetic, or just a low yielder. No top feeding again, except for the Tropicana Cookies is the 1 gal. 12 hrs 45 minutes on.

We are down to the final week! Just 2 more watering days and then I'll be ready to cut them down, trim, and hang this weekend. It had been a long 21 weeks and I am not prepared for my next grow. Usually I like to run perpetually with my 2x4 tent, I should have had another set of 6 starting when I flipped these ladies into flower. That way when these finish I could have had another set ready to go in. But things came up and I am behind schedule and running out of nutrients. Honestly that is okay though because I am planning my whole year out. I'll buy the few items that I need such as PH Down, some ph pen calibrating powder, grab some more Flora micro and bloom, stock up on fabric pots, coco coir, and perlite. I'm even thinking of getting some new strains! Stay tuned for next week's harvest!

8/30 Rained yesterday and pretty much all night. Plants looked happy this morning. I'm thinking about feeding today or tomorrow. The late flowering special kush doesn't have much longer and it will be done. I'm going to need to do another treatment for the thrips. Nights are so cold that I think they aren't a major problem. No signs of septoria either. No signs of ANY molds or mildew. Even where I took the pillar out but I removed a lot. I am noticing (especially on the pink kush and the special kush in the back) the wierd "top hat" lower buds like I previously did. I don't think it's the chipmunk. It's like they eat fresh buds and leave the top there. I think it might be earwigs but I haven't seen ANY. Birds have been keeping my garden pretty clean. Almost everytime I walk down there it's like a flock of birds takes off lol. I was watching the little finches all perched on my cage. I've seen them dart in and grab a snack. It's pretty cool how it works. Symbiotic relationship. I feed the birds amd they help keep my garden pest free. EDIT: Went to check the girls around 430. It seems like everytime I see the flowers they've swelled in size. Especially the natural mk ultra. Everything is really coming together. Pink kush is behind but it's starting. I'm getting lots of fall colors but I'm losing lots of leaves too. I wouldn't have defoliated as good as I have if I hadn't had problems. I thought the plants were done getting taller or stretching but after this rain they ALL seem taller. The buds are swelling as well. I'm on the home stretch with the early special kush. Few more weeks. Everything looked amazing tonight. I wanted to take some pictures but I left my phone. Smell is greatly increasing. 8/31 I don't get how we got NO rain the ENTIRE summer but it's rained the past few nights? Maines bipolar weather I guess. I see the same shit as prior years. Something crawls up and eats small shoots and developing buds but leaves larger ones alone. I thought it was earwigs before. I'm not sure now. I'll have to go look at night and figure out what's eating shit. It's just small secondary shoots mostly. Stuff I should've pruned but I leave on so the won't eat my fucking colas. I got some work to do but I'm getting closer. 9/1 Well we made it to September. Pink kush is finally STARTING to form little buds. After some research (and watching those fucking locusts try to fly into my cage but can't because they are to fucking big. I was lucky I found that enormous one on the stalk of the furthest special kush right where the tip cola starts. Luckily I was able to get him. Didn't have to take pics or a video or even check if they need water. It rained a little last night and the buds were a little wet. I'm planning to feed when I get back. If they need water I'll give it to them. My early special kush is getting real close. I want to harvest at peak timing but sometimes exigent circumstances screw that up. However i think I'll be able to let this girl finish properly. EDIT: Went back over to check weights and everything was super heavy. Plants are all turning fall colors. I checked the trichs on my special kush, mk ultra and 10th planet. Everything looked great in the sun! Everything is swelling and getting frostier everyday. I'm hoping that the pink kushs will finish. My early special kush LOOKS like it should be done but it's not. Looking at the trichs and stigmas it needs more time. I've found on several plants that between the; giant caterpillars, earwigs and pillars that they can take a whole branch and pretty much decimate it in a night. I chased one of those giant locusts around my Cafe and it finally got out. Bastard was almost the size of a small bird! I should feed tonight and possibly do a treatment for pests. 9/2 Had to shake to plants off again. Bags are still heavy. I'll probably feed tonight. I'm noticing tons of damage on lower and interior branches. The grasshoppers or locusts or whatever they are can strip a whole branch! They can even bite through little stems. I'll never grow outside without floating row covers again. The special kush is getting really close. Sometime this week I'll look for a mature tester bud. Both MK ULTRAS are exploding in flower and getting frostier daily. 9/3 We are going to be getting some rain. I noticed the grasshoppers or whatever really like the special kush. After seeing her in the sun I made the executive decision (after one more peak at the trics) and decided to chop her. I feel like that was a good decision. Even more so as I got going. I bet if I let it ride I would've ended up with half as much. The fan leaves had all dropped. I wish I would've kept a clone of this pheno. Smells amazing! I did a quick wet trim with branches and cut little buds (which there weren't many) went in a paper bag the rest was hung to dry. Minus the top cola and a bud or two I brought home to look at and manicure. The roots were really dry. The others seen heavy but I haven't watered in a while. I'm planning on watering and feeding tomorrow. Things are really exploding and conibgvti life! I feel so much better having that plant inside. 9/4 I was definitely right to take that plant. It just SEEMED to early. Went over today and found more damage from those grasshoppers or locusts, whatever the fuck they are. I used to just hear that noise at night but now it's morning noon and night. Some can't hear it but it's this high pitched buzzing (them rubbing their legs together) which wad heard occasionally with crickets at night. This hear it's a CONSTANT sound. Considering I'm in late flower I'm not sure what to do. I don't think there's much u can do. At least it seems like they prefer the special kush and target that. So at least that huge mk ultra and the natural one and the 10th planet's should be fine. Pink kush is finally flowering. Whether they'll have any nodes left by the time they finish is an unknown. WATERED TODAY. EVERYTHING GOT A GALLON BUT THE 10S. EVERYBODY GOT A QUART OF FOOD. IM CONSIDERING UPING KOOL BLOOM. Didn't take pictures or do a video. I will later. I'll review the special kush I took when I take the others. I'll be back over later and I'll update. No rain as of 2pm. I watered because I took the rootball apart of the special kush I harvested and it was dry as a popcorn fart! I lifted a couple and they were light bit I didn't lift everything. The water sat on the top for quite before it would drain. At least they had a good dry cycle. That plant I took looks and smells amazing. I can't wait to try it. 9/5 Thunder showers today. Started raining early while I was checking the girls out. I had coffee and waited until it stopped and shook them all off. EVERYTHING is exploding in growth. Pink Kush is still quite a bit behind but everything else has swollen significantly. It's going to rain tomorrow too which I'm sure the plants will like. I SHOULD go stake individual branches or at the very least add some more supports. Still losing some stuff to critters but whatever. It's nature's claim. That plant I took looks awesome. My intuition was spot on. Can't wait to try it. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AND SHOOK OFF BRANCHES AND ADDED SOME SUPPORTS. I DEFOLIATED A SHIT TON OF LEAVES. FLOWERS ARE GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY. I FOUND SOMETHINGVTHAT LOOKED LIKE "STEM ROT" ON THE BRANCH OF SPECIAL KUSH THAT GOT STRIPPED. I LOOKED UP WHAT TO DO BUT FORGOT TO MENTION IT WAS SPRINKLING AND I CUT THE BRANCH OFF. THIS WAS (OR WOULD HAVE BEEN) A LARGE BRANCH AND IT WAS ALL GONE. IM HIPING IT DOESNT EFFECT THE PLANT. ITS ANOTHER SPECIAL KUSH AND ITS THE ONE WITH PINK CALYXS. I'M TRIMM8NG THE SPECIAL KUSH I TOOK DOWN. I GOT TO TRY IT TODAY. IT TURNED OUT AMAZING! COVERED IN TRICHS, SMELLS GREAT BUT TASTES BETTER! GIVES ME THAT FAMILIAR INDICA HIGH WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT IT SEEMS THAT CANNABIS GROWN WITH YOUR OWN HANDS FOR YOUR OWN NEEFS SEEMS TO WORK BETTER FOR ME THAN DISPENSARY PIT I KNOW IS BETTER. IM SITTING HERE WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. SINKONG INTO THE COUCH. I CAN TELL THERES OTHER CANNIBINOIDS AT WORK TOO. I LOVE THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT!

An exciting week here training this girl. Was spacing her out throughout the week using the low stress ties. You can see all of them pulling her out. Idk what to do with the middle ones. I've tried those before but they kinda stunt for me. Watering every other day right now. And I know, I've gotta defoliate her. I'll do that when I lollipop mid week. Having said that, there won't be much this run as I trained while in flower. At 100% power Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

Great week!!! What a resilient plant, a few different times now I’ve come up with issues, I attempt to diagnose and compensate with my limited growing knowledge and the thing just keeps coming back better and healthier and stronger then before. So far, I am very happy with this strain, Dresden Green Diamond from the Garden of Green seed company because it’s been so easy for a beginner like me and it’s going so well. Looks like they are either sold out or they discontinued the strain possibly I got them as freebies with my order on Seedsman but yea super happy with it. So on to the meat and potatoes of this week. I realized the biggest issue that I have now is going to be controlling the heigh of the plant. It’s only a 4 foot tent. The pot takes at least a foot of height space away, the light is currently as high as the pulley system allows and is still hanging down a foot from the top. (I may have to end up just juryrigging a new attachment system for it to get more space. Also the plant is now about a foot tall and the light is 10 inches away. I’ve heard that they can double or more in height during flowering which would be a problem. So what to do? I topped it this week for the first time. Hoping that will redirect some of the plants energy into developing the lower branches, of which I have a healthy number. So I’m hoping they will catch up with the top of the plant and I just have a bunch of top sites. There are also 2 new top branches starting to grow from the top site. As soon as they are big enough I will bend them at a 90 degree angle to try and prevent it from going any taller than this point. I haven’t got around to it yet but I will begin LST this week as well to spread the branches out a bit and have them more horizontal to fill up more of my space. Overall, things are going great.

I made a few big mistakes. most notably not flipping early enough. I vegged til 13 inches hoping theyd stretch to 26-30 inches and have adequate space away from light, well I underestimate them way too much! despite stretching a ton, these girls were both amazing to grow. bounced back to every training, with a lot of lst and topping and defol, they never stayed down long. they eat a lot, and once i got my feed dialed in they grew healthy and strong thru harvest. i chopped at all milky trichs, decided to harvest all in one go. so lowers have a tiny clear trich but mostly milky, tops are fully milky and after dry have a tiny touch of yellow or amber at tips. effects are ranging from 70-30 sativa (on lowers with clearer trichs) its high energy. very distinct feeling of relaxation all thru body from neck down feel loose in joints and relaxed. in mind i feel very sharp, focused and productive. at the same time i noticed i was more creative. i teach tennis classes and i was better able to describe what I was trying to convey to my student who is a teen, creativity helps. both our games improved, definitely a nice productive smoke, tastey as hell in vape or bowl. grinds up and smells like blueberries soaked in gasoline, topped with a big squeeze of lemon and dash of spicey red chili peppers! ooooh eeee! this stuff is amazing, and the bubble hash i spun looks like its going to be top quality once it dries! will post more pictures of buds once they cure up a bit more. should mention as a hash / rso maker, i also pulled over 1,000 grams of wet fan leaf, and a few hundred grams of trim which yields great medicine not accounted for in harvest #s00

Temps and humidity stable at 81-83f and between 72-78%. Ppms up to 700 for both. Dli at 20-22 roughly. 300 ish ppfd for 20 hours. Both looks great, squat and great internod development. Quite vigorous I would say. Enjoying the 700ppms of nutes and roughly 300ppfd of light too.

Es mejor cultivarlas en invierno con muy poco tiempo en crecimiento por el estirón que se pegan si no controlas la altura. Sabor regular pero buen humo y según el curado te da buenos momentos de risa o más bien un viaje cerebral.

I'm very exciting and a bit worried after move to bigger pot and DWC. I should grow them in DWC bucket at the first place but I have moved them from substrate to DWC. Let's see how it goes. Week #3 Summary: The overall result is good but DWC is a bit better grow than substrate (only water). I did topping one of them to test and trim all of them.

Девочки чувствуют себя отлично, lemon ak меняют цвет, стараюсь не сильно удобрять , чтоб ничего не сжечь. Изначально мы начали рост в субстрате biobizz all mix+20-25% coco... там достаточно питательных веществ. Через 4-5 дней придет новый квантовый борд и я добавлю еще больше света на цветение!! Сейчас рост lemon ak 1(35 дней) примерно 50 см, lemon ak 2(28 дней) 45 см, северное сияние 42 см(34 дня)...

This is a wonderful week of flowering. This week I had to reduce the dosage of my main flowering nutrient, because I started to give them green sensation. I will increase the dose later on step by step back to normal as I see that the girls are okay with it. I had to increase the light distance again, because some of the leaves started to bleach as the lights were too close. That's it for now, I am hoping to see a nice progress in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!
