WELL! What an experience. I made some mistakes, learned a lot and still got some excellent weed out of it. Super frosty, LOUD and SO dense it's ridiculous 😂 Sadly i got some (a lot for me) mold, i encountered for the very first time. With it being almost winter in Germany, the temps dropped really hard for some days and then even 60% humidity was too much for the strain. I also would say it isn't that resistant against mold, so just keep that in mind, the buds are so dense, it's really easy for them to trap water. I had to throw away like 1/4 of the yield, mostly the top buds 💀 That kinda sucked, but it could be worse, it's fire weed tho, i'll add pictures of the buds later.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Continuiamo solo con overdrive per un altra settimana continuando a controllare sempre i tricomi, aspettando che diventino lattiginosi per cambiare soluzione e far girare l'impianto gli ultimi 7 - 10 gg con solo acqua osmotica a ph 6 per il flush prima di raccolt

👉🏽 Day 71 (5/16): Watered with ph'd RO water for the first time. Minor defoliation. I'll thinking of harvesting her at the same time as her tentmates, which will probably be around Day 75. 👉🏽 Day 75 (5/20): Harvest day! Will be doing a dry trim, so I just removed fan leaves. Now drying in the tent at 75ºF & ≈55% RH. (Will post harvest info/page after drying, since I forgot to weigh her wet.) Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿

We are finally into flower stage ! I moved this lady into a bigger room with more powerful light. She not actually tall and I’ll see how I control the stretch I made a big work on her root and I’m satisfied of the result !

Welcome back! On day 21, since she was growing fast, I decided to top her. I was a bit afraid of doing so with an autoflower, but then I saw @Eurus CBD Crack diary and that actually convinced me. Well, she didn’t even notice the top, and kept growing like crazy, yay! This week I’ll give her 0.25ml/L more of Connoisseur A+B, as well as the usual 0.5ml/L of Voodoo Juice and B-52. Day 25 (20 from sprout): LST on 6 branches + 4 bigger leaves.

Started some Fox Farms Grow Big this week, and they seem to have taken well. Growing very nicely, I'm tentatively trying a very mild LST on one of the Trainwreck plants, the one that is the smallest so far. I've never done any LST and am curious to see if this even works. Am normally partial to just letting the plants grow on their own.

Day 94, 5th of November 2020: Nice strain no really strong smell haha good to grow more safely :) This situation is crazy never happneed to me. It is only the 5th week of flowering and she looks ready to be harvested.... WTF.... I immediately stop fertilization.... I checked the trichomes and it is interesting. I see ambers and I see milky ones but also translucent ones.... I have an idea what happened. She had gotten aot of darkness I mean she did not get always the standard 12/12 she qas once 3 days in darkness before owering that's ok.... After I left her one day in darkness once.... And what I think is when I went on holiday my friend looked after her so she was with different strains and needed to remove out of the tent manually so he went to work early and back late so she spent 14 hours darkness but stilll.... I have no idea ;)

Week 5! GG4 finished week 4 on a rough note, she drooped hard overnight from 07/15 into 07/16, I'll will feed her an extra 1 liter of water + nutes this week, to prevent this from happening again. Aside from the early drying out, bud sites continue to develop nicely and she's got a good smell to her now as well as stickyness starting to appear.

Only water for the past week being added to reservoir after nutrients..... Huge intakes... Very big plant.. Very big Buds... I have no idea what the weight will be... But it will big lol... Fucking awesome... All grown with Cheap leds lol well relatively cheap about 400 CAD all said and done on all the lights.. Full 1000 ppfd coverage on this plant with some extra ... There is a method to the madness. Foxtails are genetic related.. As they are present on all parts of the plant. The very tips of all big colas have been circumcised and my buds are all Kosher Now lol. No it helps make for fatter colas and stops some of the long and spindly look from happening.. I'd love to explain to everyone in great detail why the tip clipping is a cool idea especially with a foxtaily strain but if you can't figure it out.... not worth explaining.. Lots of love thanks for reading and happy growing! There's some big fat nugs for the naysayers and haters to suck on... Your welcome 😁😄😂 On a side note the Mars Hydro SP150 is out... 2board quantum panel comes in with another couple cheap boards... It's pretty fricking cool and hard to explain but the full 1000 pffd is gonna happen with like 7-8 lights and not a whole lot of loss to my wallet or should I say my old ladies. God Bless her for giving me the extra funding during these tough times and helping me achieve what I was thinking. Considerations will be made and have also ordered a Watt Meter so we can start totally up some of what we actually drawing... This is a one plant no auto tent for the next grow and It's gonna be a Romulan from Pyramid Seeds, I love Star trek and she should really love a scrog setup. All I know is one plant 4-5 week veg and it'll be a tree. "The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people. 'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that - ever notice that? - and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over - not one human being excluded - and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace. Just added an extra line for revision testing purpose." - Bill Hicks.

DAY 63 / 9 weeks of flowering. Last pictures of these sativa's. Ready to harvest 😛 Not all plants are equally ripe.. Some plants have hard ripen buds. But some plants could use one or more extra weeks of flowering, 😶 The fragrance varies widely. From fruity candies to strong diesel scent. 😊 The size and appearance of the plants also varies greatly. Not really suitable for SOG. 😪 This week only water. 😨 Low RH% 40-45 --------------------------------------------- Plant size and description : #1 89cm Promising in the first weeks, but ultimately only a small plant with a low yield.😥 #2 144cm Monster-tall beautiful large sativa-like plant, with beautiful fat buds. I love her. 😍 #3 144cm By far the most typical sativa plant. Enormous length with loose foxtail buds. Could use a few more weeks of flowering. 😵 #4 129cm Tall plant with fewer buds. Maybe because this girl is in the corner of the growing room where she doesn't get that much light. Nice and ripe anyway.😳 #5 117cm Beautiful semi-tall plant. The buds may not be as fat, but they are nicely ripe. 😉 #6 92cm Very photogenic rather small plant. The buds seem to spiral up to a fat top. 😃 #7 123cm Large plant with many sativa influences. Pointed hard top studded with trichomes. 😛 #8 124cm Like # 7, a nice big plant but with leaf greenery woven into the buds. 😋 #9 102cm Half to rather high plant endowed with one of the most beautiful buds. Sativa-style bud, but swollen, hard and ripe. Magnificent! A lust for the eye.😍 #10 65cm Small plant. Lower yield. Many brown hairs. Pretty ripe. 😄 #11 71cm Very small even thin plant. Pointed small tops. Undoubtedly the plant with the least yield. Still lovely. 😊 #12 111cm Semi-tall plant. Floppy side branches, but really nice buds. 😀 #13 113cm One of my favorites. Beautiful plant with very fine decorative flowers. Very fresh and tasty appearance. Delicious! 😍 #14 92cm Rather small plant, but with firm hard ripe swollen buds. Yummy. 😘 #15 126cm Incredible plant with a fist-sized huge super-fat head top. But also beautiful side branches with thick buds. Exteme heavy yielder! 😝 #16 88cm Small plant in the corner with relatively many buds. Pointed head top. 😚

Changed the light for the Viparspectra P600 because the SP3000 was needed in my other tent, and the p600 is enough for that size of a plant and 24/7 light to which I then switched. I found a nanner, not happy about that, looked for more but did not find any, still quite sure there are more because they never come alone. Plant is not ready to harvest yet so... I hope for the best. Some buds are getting denser, plant is slowly bulking. As of now I am considering to chop in about 2 weeks. Raise EC as mentioned in previous week. Values are average of the day.

Back into Veg again, never Lollipoped anything before. Was tough not cropping them buds lol the few I did have to were delicious! In the big square green pot to the left of the little silver haze X critical XXL is several different cuttings off three different zkittles plants. One showing bright purple buds the other is less colourful. The silver haze X critical XXL has had the lowest branch converted to produce male sacs for seeds wasn't very successful so I'm lollypoping to try again. The other Greenhouse has my favourite large Zkittles which I had a few buds off! Superb taste. Three chocolate skunk in the same pot two smaller one where fully converted to male. Had all the best cola buds of her also delicious smoke. Aim is to cross chocolate skunk with zkittles hopefully with more success this time round!
