The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷ 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

So this grow came to a finshed but I had a. Few issues that’s held me up from finishing up the diary, but in due time I will reupload it all in order soon. But over all I will also update with a final weigh in of each strain produced so stay tuned 🤙🏻🔥

day 7 Flowering: Hi all . It has been the start of their flowering this week and the initial stages of their stretch period. Time to exploit the burst of growth and set them in position for full light absorbing relaxation. The less stress to get light , the more focus on creating the beauty in flowering hopefully. I took some time to do a clear out of the small scrappy growth low down the stems to focus on the happy growing bud sites higher up. With their shape and size , the flowers would have been within the ball shapes and unable to develop properly. The shape of the plants from the tip spreading is very helpful now. I am able to tuck the really big powerhouse fans , underneath the developing lowers. This supports the lower growth to head higher but also keeps the main stem powered by the very important big fans. As these are autoflowers and able to use the available light through the huge fans , it can only be beneficial to keep them as long as possible while they are not blocking anything. The difference between the strains is noticable more now with the Strawberry Pie wanting to spread her branching more . Tip spreading has kept them smaller but their nature still has them wanting the long node lengths and cluster bud structures as opposed to long donkey di#ks. The other strains have benefited more from it and in particular, the #2 Six Shooter has an amazing amount of hopeful mains all fighting for focus so should be a good example of how tip spreading really works to create productive , squat beasts. Fingers crossed.lol They are still being fed just water with no additional boosts beside the last top dressings. I will be watering again with the biosys tea but they look so happy and green that I wont be adding any other products unless I notice a need. Cal.mag being the exception as I want to avoid the expected deficits from using l.e.d , before it can slow anything down in repair/recovery. The light is covering them all perfectly and with the height still to be lowered after the stretch is done , I know from previous Mars lights, the big solid nugs will appear.... I have used a video to show the past weeks growth rather than the usual pics and hope this will be more interesting than having to scroll pics. I also noticed a few leaf miners among the other plants and suspect we have some migration here too. Not too serious as yet but before it gets too bad , I used a store bought spray ( organic) to hopefully get to grips before they do. Failing this , a good smoke bomb might be used. Until the next time , be well and loved.

Hello Diary, The first week of flowering is behind me and as you can see in the photos, the Medusas are developing very quickly. The flowers have formed and now the flowering begins. Trichomes appeared around the flowers on the leaves, which is a great sign for this stage of the plant. What you can see is that the plants differ slightly in structure, one is taller with fewer leaves and a more sprawling structure, while the other is more of a bush shape with lots of leaves. In the description of this strain, they should be equal in structure, which is not the case, at least for me. I removed the humidifier so that the humidity in the air dropped to about 50% and the temperature rose to about 24 degrees. Watering has become a little more frequent, which is to be expected given the size of the plants. Here's what it looked like last week. 18/02/2023 - Day 25. Watering. I prepared 5 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 and watered both plants with that amount. 21/02/2023 - Day 28. Photographing and height measurement. Medusa F1 #1 - 47 cm Medusa F1 #2 - 40 cm That's all for this week, see you soon and thank you all for your support.

So I started this grow for 4-5 weeks under a 60 watt fluorescent bulb with little growth. I stressed this plant out so much and have learned loads from this grow. Too much light for the space is a big learning curve for next run. Overall just over 6 ozs of dried bud, gotta say I’m pretty happy for my first time around. Have purchased a smaller wattage light And some proper nutrients for my next single plant indoor grow 👌

Wedding cheesecake FF by Fast Buds Germination, days: 3 Vega (18/6), days: 35 Flowering (12/12), days: 70 Total, days: 108 Ec 2.5 (Athena bloom, Fade, Cleanse, Balance) Ph 6.1 Red 100% Blue 25% UV 20% DLI ~32 T. Day: ~25C T. Night: ~21.5C Humidity: ~57% T.leaf: 24.5C Week progress: I can't delay any longer, the chance of mold increases due to dry leaves. On the last day of the 10th week of flowering I started washing the substrate, washed with RO water + Athena Cleanse (2ml/l). Tomorrow I'll wash again and harvest on the next day! For now I'm planning to cut off those two lagging plants, but I might change my mind :)

Have you ever smelt alien sweat? Not me but if I was close enough I'm almost sure this would be the smell of it, the Kosher Tangie is really smelling like something out of this world, there is not much big buds in my view but her smell and bud structure if definitely something to witness, cant wait to roll one stay tuned.

Beginning of week.. Well, the branches were beginning to spilt at the top node.. Thats why they say to leave some stem between nodes when topping.. Them fuckers will split.. Even with such thick stem growth.. It was splitting pretty deep already.. So I said fuck it.. One single node it is... Thats ok tho.. She will still fill out her suitcase home with what Im gonna do to her! Gonna go up just a tad on the nutes.. The runoff pH and PPM are coming out pretty much just as they go in.. Niceeeee! She is gonna do such amazing things!!! Just watch! Next day... I havent got pics yet.. But I pretty much tied each of the main tops down.. Not quite pointing down yet.. Which is my main goal for a few days to let the new little branches can gain some dominance and then probably just leave her at that.. Just the 2 branches on the sides and let the main branches back up after a week or 2 and should have 6 main tops goin in the suitcase lol... Pics coming in a couple days. Hope this comes out as Im wishing lol.. And symmetrical.. I hate uneven colas.. Especially in this small nano shit lol even had to water again.. She is beginning to drink quite a bit more.. Noice! More time with her! I love it! Lol hope the springtails dont make it over to this one.. I need to buy either some diamiteous earth or whateverthefuck lol or some neem oil.. I heard neem is ok but the diamitenomious earth or wtf ever seems a bit quicker??... Maybe??? Idk lol.. Anybody got any ideas?? Or have any input on getting rid of pests in the medium.. Not on the leaves as far as I can tell.. They dont seem to hurt the plant either.. But they are just a nuisance to have in the runoff all the time.. Like I said.. Not in this plant yet.. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time with the way these mf's multiply.. I'll get rid of 1000's up to twice a day.. That must mean there are MILLIONS in there still.. Fuuuck.. Lol.. But any input or ideas fellow growmies?? Mid week.. She is filling out nicely.. Trying to tie the branches down more to bring the tops further down than the 2 new branches on each branch.. But since they are already so thick and short.. Its hard to tie them that far so Ive just been bending the very top sprout down by hand a few times a day.. When I can.. I read about this technique my first ever grow.. Just bending the very tip at the stem.. Almost making it weak.. Kinda like a supercrop I guess.. But weakening that part of the stem will just slow the top growth above it down.. But of course all the healthy new sprouts will take over with that apical dominance jazz lol.. But yeah.. Leaves are getting super dark green.. But i like it. Seems like such a strong sturdy leaf lol.. Thats a good thing I would think.. New growth is of course doing what it always does.. But still coming out to a healthy shade of green. The last pic for "mid week" is just showing there is still no preflower.. Sometimes I get it this early on.. Also that ai removed the fan leaf before it was every big enough to even get any sunlight to open the inside of the bush more.. Just did it super early and regretting it now cuz it might fuck up the apical dominance jazz since the back of the leaf I removed isnt there to block the light.. But im sure the minor supercropping to the tips should help do what I'm trying to make her do.. We shall see! Also added a little Floralicious Plus to the mix.. She dries out pretty well every other day now I believe.. Which is a good thing to let the medium get pretty dry too.. So the roots will do some searching and creating a big rootball a bit quicker.. I love these plants! Lol.. Later that day... Fuck.. Well she has been topped again at 2nd node this time.. Its cool.. Fuck it lol.. The supercropping type shit I was doing isn't meant for very new growth I guess.. Luckily it left some stem so they shouldnt split like last time.. Still gonna shoot for a nice, thick canopy.. We shall see how it goes
