Elsa her stretch is going to an end and after the stretch you can give your plant a Defloration…21 days after Stretch / pre Flower start. I take my scissors and give her a cut. I have never done that before. A new Experiment of Defloration. A few days later Elsa is looking a little bit thirsty but she look okay… we can start in Grow week 10 🤗

Lots of smells have become their own... The fried banana has this crazy skunk smell with a real earth dirt smell once the skunk fades... The orange cake NO kidding, smells like a fresh peeled orange and some kind of batter smell... It's nuts... The big Z has the immediate Skittles blast with a earthy afternote...

10/10/26 8am-11am Pulled coco coir mulch rings & set them to soak in reservoir water mixed with quillaja. Removed any & all fan leaves with a petiole & any and all small branches or growth points that were not going to reach the top 1/3 of the canopy. 75% of removed plant material was salad chopped, tossed with an equal weight of brown sugar, packed tightly in a 64oz mason jar with brown sugar packed on top, 1 tbsp of LABS, and airlock lid to begin a FPE. Top dressed with a blend containing 1 cup Craft Blend, 1 cup house-made mineralized bokashi, 1/2 cup DTE Flower Garden, 1/2 cup insect frass, 1/4 cup DTE prilled gypsum, & 1/4 cup glacial rock dust. Spread remaining chopped plant material over the top dress & capped it all with a mix consisting of 2 cups each CoM Quoddy Blend & worm castings. Hand watered with 1 gallon plain 6.0ph/30ppm reservoir water mixed with 1 tsp each of coconut water powder, aloe powder, & Build a Flower, 2 tsp each house-made LABS & banana FFJ, & 1/2 tsp quillaja powder. Replaced saturated coco coir mulch rings & reactivated Autopot XXL. Plant height-34" DLI-45 VPD Target remains 1.10

Thanks again to RQS for providing the genetics for another diary! It's been another fun run. Thanks to all that follow, like and comment. I appreciate every one of you 👊✌️🤙 Once she was down, her fan leaves were cut off and each branch was hung in the drying box and left to dry for 8 days. It was left in a cool dark place to slow drying time. Once the outer leaves were dry her buds were given a close trim and jarred for curing. I put a 62% boveda pack inside to ensure the humidity is stable during curing, although it's not crucial. The jar is burped once a day for a few days and then left approx a week inbetween the next couple of openings. After 3 weeks or so, you don't have to worry about burping if you wish to store for a while, or you can tuck right in like I do! Because I have 4 seperate quarters for other plants/strains in one tent, under one light, I've had to calculate these by dividing the conditions by 4 (4 sections in total sharing same conditions). This is the fairest and only way to work it out on average as a full tent. If you multiply by 4, it gives you the average amount for a full tent worth. Happy growing! 🦊

July 19: first night of force flowering last night. Moved into dark garage at 9:30 pm and out at 7:30 am for 10 h of darkness. Using 730 nm far red light at transition to dark which puts plant into dark mode two hours faster and is like getting a 26 h day with 12 of darkness. Rain day. July 22: Foliar spray of Epsom salts and potassium silicate this morning. The magnesium in the Epsom salts helped with the yellowing on the new growth. July 23: added another loose Scrog net layer. Tied to water bottles to open up the canopy to sunlight.

Days 15 to 17, varying by plant: My journey of experimentation, aiming to refine and perfect my cannabis cultivation methods, continues. This venture’s ultimate objective is to position myself as a preeminent cannabis cultivator in my locale. As I navigate through the labyrinth of regulatory licensing, I’m conducting a trial run with my seedlings under continuous lighting conditions and a minimal nutrient regime. My primary goal during this phase is to identify any potential hiccups that could hinder the growth process and ultimately impact the productivity of my intended commercial operation. As I delve deeper into this exploratory phase, I draw invaluable insights from the thriving cannabis community, whose collective wisdom informs my decision-making process. Given my geographical location and available resources, I’ve opted for a strategic shift in my cultivation strategy. Previously, I’ve been procuring seeds at an average cost of $10 to $22 per seed, with a relatively broad success rate variance, ranging from 70% to 85%. However, an alternative presents itself in the form of local cultivators. These businesses offer cannabis plants aged between 2 to 4 weeks, boasting an impressive variety of over 100 strains. These juvenile plants are offered at a cost-effective rate: an average of $100 for eight plants. With a success rate hovering between 70% and 95%, these plants offer excellent value. Essentially, I can access pre-grown plants at a substantial discount, in turn significantly boosting my chances of success. Consequently, I am poised to transition away from growing cannabis from seeds to harvesting. By sourcing my plants from local cultivators, I stand to significantly reduce overhead and production time—an undeniably smart move from a business standpoint. This strategic pivot signifies the end of an era and the exciting beginning of a more efficient and cost-effective chapter in my cannabis cultivation journey. I am currently outlining a plan to expand my cultivation by acquiring several juvenile plants, which should be happening between July 1st and 3rd. The new additions to my garden will include Acapulco Gold, Gelato, White Truffle, and Runtz. These will be cultivated in harmony with the existing growth, which comprises God’s Gift, Northern Lights, and the final surviving F1 Epsilon. My primary objective is to establish the most efficient and cost-effective supply chain possible. I aim to achieve this through the use of an off-grid system that runs solely on solar power, which will ensure complete sustainability and renewability. From a business standpoint, this approach is advantageous as it allows me to leverage the growth of high-quality plants that are already in the cultivation phase. The new plants are expected to arrive in about a week. If the growth rate of the currently cultivated plants doesn’t meet expectations, I’ll be incorporating several of the newly arrived plants into the hydroponics systems. This methodical approach aims to ensure an optimal growth rate and the highest possible yield. I also wish to address the cannabis grower community directly. I hope that my decision to skip the seed-to-plant stage does not cause any offense. My intentions are simply focused on maximizing quality and output, while minimizing our carbon footprint. I believe this approach is in the best interest of sustainability and efficiency, without compromising on the quality that our community values so highly. As we proceed with this venture, we’re currently in the phase of collecting equipment and navigating through the licensing process. To help lower our overhead and assist with consulting fees, we would greatly appreciate any donations, especially in terms of lighting equipment. Your support in this endeavor will contribute significantly towards optimizing our operation and will be deeply appreciated. Disclaimer: Let it also be known I am completely abiding by all state laws, and do not plan on selling any of this current bud. This is for research to avoid future growing "potholes" in the growing part of the business as we have a very small team. My end goal is to help change the current stigma around cannabis and provide a useful service that can help localize and reduce the inflation on cannabis prices in socal by providing a logical supply system. Again I intend on doing all things through the legal route as there is no need to do other wise given the laws on personal use and growing.

Hey Cannafam Happy Monday 💚 The past week has been one of stark contrast for my gal compared to the one previous, if theres one thing the UK weather can do with consistantly its variability! Its been raining everyday this week with only one afternoon of Sun and thankfully/gratefully it has also been Sunny this morning 😊 Tempretures have dropped significantly and for the 1st half of the week we were looking at 14c daytime and 10c at night, Friday - Sunday were all 16c Day and 10c night and today weve got extra warmth at a heady 17c 🤣 Daylight length is currently at 16 hrs 18 minutes. Growth wise shes doing really well, her 2nd set of leaves have a slight mutation and are webbed a bit like ducksfoot, which interesting but not a point of concern as the next tier has come out normal, and shes just started her 4th set, her side branches at each node are just starting to peek through. Shes not had any feed or great white this week due the free continous rain water. Shes also has a few markings from some sort of flys which were shoed off of her earlier today but nothing major, and considering shes been chronically overwatered for a week shes looking really healthy 😊 The weather from the reports is looking to be a bit better for the next week, so hopefully she'll have a bit more Sun! Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️

I like the structure alot I might be doing this with all me plants in the future.... I even got the whole kit ready for another grow and guess what we got next? Even bigger monsters. So far with this little beast I'm not getting g deficiencies or any signs of anything being wrong, I wanted the colas to stretch a little more so I added grow formula on day 5... today on 12th Feb I added Connoisseur Bloom for the first time to the mix, i will Try to use that scrog net but I might only be using it to support the pla ts other then that I need to flush them in about 2 weeks so I can Contiue on giving the full dose at a safe window which is after a flush.. they will be hungry i wonder how fat the buds are going to be.. Btw I got a seed from some cali pack my friend bought and I'm very curious what it's going to be... the bud we took it from locked so frosty we couldn't belive our eyes to I'm looking forward to seeing if the seed I got from the bud but do any good. Happy growing!

7/10/26.day 50 from germination. Greetings to everyone who's been following my diary updates. The gorilla turned out to be a real King Kong. I didn't expect this development. I have another autoflowering strain in the growbox, but the gorilla is trying to take over the entire area! FASTBUDS-bravo!👏 Due to the gorilla's vigorous growth, the lower part ended up in the shade. Additional lighting was added - a 50-watt led phytolamp (I used it before for germination and it had long been unused). I installed it from below.

Seems like they are doing fine now they have some sun. I used cow shit in my grow medium for fertilizer. And I'll be dosing with bat guano next week.

Hey everyone! Here's the Week 6 update! 😀 and I had some issues! Nothing too serious but still worth mentioning! I had some kind of algae growing in my medium so I stopped watering the plants for a while (I used to feed them twice a week) and I just did it once this week to wait for the plants to use more of the water inside their pots and I think it did work! I also removed most of the soil on the top to avoid spreading anything dangerous to my plants! 😭 Besides that I started doing a more aggressive LST and I also pruned some of the bigger sugar leafs 😲 My plants were also somewhat overfed (or I was close to nutrient locking them) as some of their leafs were quite dark (you'll be able to notice the difference from the color of the new leafs vs the old ones) so for the next schedules I'll just feed them once per week or feed them once then go only with pH'd water and then go back to fertilizers to avoid damaging the plant! 💀 On another note, the smallest plant has grown quite well so next week I'll be swapping her to a new por! I think she deserves it! The 3rd plant now has a name and it's "Boomer"! 😍 I also decided to go for 4 colas instead of 8 because the size available in my tent is small and I don't want risking my plants fighting for light in such a small space! 😢 Anyway, thanks everyone for reading everything so far! Take care! 👽
