A big hello to all the cannabis growing gardeners...and all the other visitors that came across my grow journal. Just on harvest day I was summoned on a long quest...around 700 km. will be away for three days. I will update this diary as fast as i"m back. For now just the photos as no time for anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now cannabis smell is overpowering in my grow room I can finally write something about Spider Farmers 6-Inch Inline Fan with Smart Controller and Carbon Filter :) As my grow room gets really stinky at times i always invest in a top shelf carbon filter almost twice the size of the one provided by Spider Farmer, to my shock Spider Farmer carbon filter absorbs the smells wonderfully well. No smell leaks and that just when the fan is running at 5 out of 10 levels of output. The smart controller is something completely new to me, and had a lot of fun experimenting with it during the veg and early flower, when the smell began i needed it to run full time at level 4 or 5 to rid the fragnance. All in all the whole combo is a great deal. If you are not as keen on technology the set without the controller is awesome on it's own. But to have some extra options open, the controller at the device throws at you a ton of settings you can use to optemiase you grow enviornment. The SE 7000 is hanged at 40 cm. over the canopy and runs at 520W. This whole grow's main sponsor is Spider Farmer. You can easily obtain all the great grow equipment we use at: spider-farmer.com A big thank you to Jessie and the whole Spider Farmer crew for supporting me with the newest technological advancements in horticulture.

Will update on weight and smoke

This plant is fo amazing I can’t hardly wait it’s just dripping with rezon and just gleaming in the light just about to stop feeding I’m going to probably flush with just water for 3-4 days then stop watering completely for 3-4 days then early mourning on that last day of dehydration chop chop chop

No major growth, in fact she’s kinda slow so I fim’d her today and have been doing minor lst to work on stem strength and bushing out, maybe she’ll show off during flower which is one week away

Diese Woche verlief sehr entspannt. Wir haben nun Tag 28 und somit ein Drittel der Zeit geschafft. Der Stretch scheint gestoppt zu haben, zum Glück. Die Dame steht gut im Futter, sodass wohl keine Nährstoffe wirklich nötig sind . Ein leichter Tip Burn ist erkennbar, was mich in der Entscheidung bestätigt. Interessant ist vor allem die Struktur der Blüten: sie scheint die Calyx wie bei einer typischen Sativa Dame eher nach oben zu stacken, anstatt gleichmäßig zu allen Seiten. Ich bin mal gespannt ob es bei dieser Form bleiben wird, immerhin passt es auch zum starken Stretch , wie man eine Sativa ursprünglich eingeordnet hätte. Die Auswahl der Eltern dieser Dame wurde ebenfalls gut zur Einordnung passen. Alles in allem scheint diese Dame sehr pflegeleicht zu sein, abgesehen von dem starken Stretch. Bis jetzt gefällt sie mir echt gut. Mal schauen was da noch kommt 🌻 um den Stretch besser darzustellen, habe ich mal ein kleines Video gemacht. Interessant ist der Vergleich vor allem mit der Wizard Trees aus dem anderen Diary.

I switched the light timer to 12/12 and turned the carbon filter on. I wish I had more space to grow vertically, but the height of my box and grow light distance limits me from vegging too long. I hope to have a larger set up in the future 😀. At the start of week 7 The girls are chugging along (Cal/Mag really seemed to help) and I'm looking forward to seeing the bud structure and that Blueberry smell! I will be going on vacation in a little over a week for 8 days 😅. This is also why I started flowering now..so that I can be home during the majority of the stretch period(12 days from flip). The day I leave I will apply nutrients and thoroughly saturate the coco and then the girls will be watered with the blumats from my 5 gal reservoir (hopefully that is enough and there isn't too much PH drift). On day 5 of week 7 I applied 1 gal of nutrients until runoff. Week 7 went well.

Die 2te Woche der Blüte hat begonnen und sie strecken sich in die höhe und sehen sehr gesund aus im laufe der woche werde ich sie nochmal Entlauben ansonsten gibt es nicht viel zu berichten.💪😜

Keeps growing too close to light. Have now raised light as high as can get it. Doing HST to keep top of branchs at least 10" from light. has now been stretching for about 5 long weeks. please make it stop.

Week 2 I got Pistils showing The New Check out my other Dairies (Gelato Cake & Jungle Verde) Nutrients (floraflex) are in Grams/gal* Light: HLG Follow my IG @therealterpio for more updates & content! I tend to low feed the first 2 weeks then ramp it up a little later into flower

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Woche 6 Letzte Woche Veggi

She is growing beautifully and the deep purple hues are absolutely stunning. I did notice that autoflowers grow a little slower outdoors but with amazing big results

Came home from vacation to gorgeous ladies and their light fragrances. More to follow soon.

Vamos rumbo a la cuarta semana ya Ya está empezando a tener un olor débil

Bonus material- my cannabutter pics. No smoke report for a while but I can give you an edibles report in a few hours 😂 Plant #1 suffered gravely and thus was harvested early, dried, and turned into beaaautiful butter/edibles hehe. The rest of it is box drying and I'll be doing the same with that. The top of the plant (first harvest of sorts, after bud rot discovered) was 49g dry, not inc ofc what was binned. I'll let you know the dry weight of the rest but no point giving you a smoke report. She was cut early and suffered a looooot The purple lemonade began as the underdog and quickly took over as my #1 babe. It was far more resilient to environmental conditions and changes- and let's not forget that they went through a hurricane with me and power out for a few days! I don't find her strong on the nose at all despite how big some of her buds are, and how frosty. Very piney, and that dominates everything else. Very excited to see what terps come out more in the cure though- I hear great things about this strain. She was cut today and is hanging in a dark closet with small fan, RH 65% and temp 22c. I did not take a wet weight, but she's heavy. Super looking forward to smoking this one, after a few more weeks of TLC... Sigh. Always we try to wait haha. I will report back when I have more for you all. Thanks to everyone that answered my questions and supported me through my first grow. I've definitely got the bug now and there'll be no stopping me haha Will be back with smoke report and dry weights laterrr 🇨🇦 --- Nov 12 - Plant dried for 6 days. It is a lot airier than I thought it was going to be, so most of it ended up as shake for edibles or something. I ended up with 38g of big bud, 33 of smaller, and over 40g of larf and shake. Even the big buds are airy though, not dense at all. A little disappointing for sure, but I made a lot of mistakes so it isn't a surprise. It is now in jars with humidity packs and I'll report back in a couple of weeks or so with a smoke report :)

🌿 Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Woche 25 und mittlerweile ist bei beiden Pflanzen das Höhenwachstum endgültig Geschichte 🌿. Die linke Mentha de Croco steht weiterhin bei etwa 2,18 m, während die rechte Pflanze sogar noch etwas weiter auf 2,37 m gewachsen ist 📏🚀. Bei der Budentwicklung liegt die linke Pflanze weiterhin vorne 🌸. Die Buds sind schon deutlich weiter entwickelt und werden langsam richtig interessant. Beim Reiben an den Zuckerblättern kommt mittlerweile ein extrem intensiver, zitroniger und fast schon lösungsmittelartiger Geruch zum Vorschein 🍋. Ein wirklich spannendes Aroma, das ich so bisher noch nicht bei einer meiner Pflanzen hatte 👃🔥. Die rechte Pflanze verhält sich dagegen momentan deutlich zurückhaltender. Ihr Geruch wirkt erdiger und weniger intensiv 🌱. Aber die Blüte ist noch lange nicht abgeschlossen und gerade beim Terpenprofil kann sich in den kommenden Wochen natürlich noch einiges verändern. Ich bin deshalb sehr gespannt, ob sich die beiden Phenos am Ende noch stärker auseinanderentwickeln 👀🌸. Was mir ebenfalls zunehmend auffällt: Das Cultivar scheint wirklich zur Ausbildung riesiger Buds zu neigen 😳🌸. Genau das lässt mich inzwischen etwas nervös werden, denn auch meine beiden Pflanzen beginnen, ordentlich Masse aufzubauen. Ich bin gespannt, ob die Zweige das Gewicht der Buds gegen Ende der Blüte tatsächlich problemlos tragen können 💪🌿. Nach den Erfahrungen mit den starken Herbststürmen werde ich das auf jeden Fall genau im Auge behalten 🌬️. Ansonsten passiert momentan gar nicht so viel. Heute bekommen beide Pflanzen noch einmal Almicanna Komposttee 🍵. Danach heißt es eigentlich nur noch beobachten und die Pflanzen machen lassen. Der Wasserverbrauch liegt aktuell bei ungefähr 4 Litern pro Pflanze und Tag 💧. Je nachdem, wie warm es tagsüber wird, schwankt das natürlich etwas. Durch die deutlich kühleren Temperaturen ist der Bedarf mittlerweile wesentlich niedriger als noch vor einigen Wochen 🌡️. Ich würde sagen, dass wir jetzt ungefähr Halbzeit bei der Blütenentwicklung erreicht haben 🌸⏳. Und genau ab jetzt wird es richtig spannend. Die nächsten Wochen werden zeigen, wie gut das Wetter mitspielt und wie sich die Buds unter den Bedingungen des deutschen Herbstes weiterentwickeln 🍂🌧️. Wenn alles nach Plan läuft, wäre Ende Oktober ungefähr der angepeilte Erntezeitraum ✂️🌸. Bis dahin kann allerdings natürlich noch einiges passieren. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken für möglichst viel Sonne, wenig Dauerregen und vor allem keinen großen Sturm mehr 🤞☀️🍂. 🌿 Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 Week 25 and by now the vertical growth is definitely over for both plants 🌿. The left Mentha de Croco is still around 2.18 m, while the right plant has reached an impressive 2.37 m 📏🚀. The left plant is still ahead in bud development 🌸. The buds are noticeably further along and are starting to become really interesting. When rubbing the sugar leaves, the aroma has become extremely intense, very lemony and almost solvent-like 🍋. It’s a really fascinating terpene profile and definitely something I haven’t experienced with one of my plants before 👃🔥. The right plant is much more subtle at the moment. Its buds have a more earthy and less intense aroma 🌱. But flowering is still far from finished, and the terpene profile can obviously change quite a lot over the next few weeks. I’m therefore very curious to see whether these two phenotypes will become even more different by harvest 👀🌸. Another thing I’m noticing more and more is that this cultivar seems to have a tendency to produce absolutely huge buds 😳🌸. And that makes me a little nervous, because both of my plants are starting to build some serious bud mass as well. I’m really curious whether the branches will be strong enough to support the weight of the buds towards the end of flowering 💪🌿. After dealing with some strong autumn storms earlier in the season, I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on them 🌬️. Apart from that, not much is happening at the moment. Today I’ll give both plants another Almicanna compost tea 🍵. After that, it’s mostly a matter of observing and letting the plants do their thing. Water consumption is currently around 4 litres per plant per day 💧. It varies a little depending on how warm it gets during the day, but the significantly cooler temperatures have clearly reduced their water demand compared with a few weeks ago 🌡️. I would say we are probably around halfway through the flowering development now 🌸⏳. And from this point on, things are going to get really interesting. The next few weeks will show how well the weather cooperates and how the buds develop under German autumn conditions 🍂🌧️. If everything goes according to plan, late October would be the approximate target harvest window ✂️🌸. But a lot can obviously still happen before then. Fingers crossed for plenty of sunshine, not too much continuous rain and, above all, no more major storms 🤞☀️🍂.

Hey so the girls finished the end of week 6 looking super happy again 😊 this hasn't been easy this run watering I've had quite a few mistakes on my part overwatering though giving the girls an extra day between watering seriously helped under LEDs . The girls are growing amazing and some girls are in the ending stages of there flowering cycle putting on weight and growing dense buds , at the moment the girls scout cookie's is gonna be finished for week 8 dead on and is ultra dense , something I've noticed with these girls , thicker stems , more support , denser flowers and overall general health seems really improved moving away from the HPS , going to start some on Terra aquatica RIPEN for thoes colours coming to the end of flower 🌼 This week I'm able to describe weather they taken there indica hybird or sativa genetics also weather growth is going well or bad depending on specific strains . All girls are now in flower so there colours are starting to show in one of the dosidos having nice purple buds 💜 Girl scout cookie's Amazing growth from the smallest plant is nearly at harvest with massive dense nugs its truly a little freak of a plant displaying the purple leaves underneath The other girl scout cookie's is doing amazing and was left to grow normally the other in LST went hermi on me 2 weeks previously which was a sure disappointment being my biggest plant at that time but growth seems great on this strain for harvest times although plants are smaller than I normally get the yeild might surprise us at the end 😀 Gorilla glue Sporting a solid structure and vigour like I've only ever seen on anything containing gorilla glue genetics and going into late flower now , one plant is seriously feeding a high level of nutes , greedy beware and make sure to keep plenty of everything at hand for max growth . Some leaves are starting to show slight defenices alothough im not worried as towards end of flower this plant is ģonna look seriously cool Runtz 🚫 Girls are gonna be the biggest yeilders thanks to thoes skittles and hybird gentics coming from this strain donating its sativa high yeilds to this plant , two are late flower one is still stretching and is the biggest girl in the room by number of leaves and size , these strains end LST to provide enough space and light for these girl to promote there best traits . Feeding these girls are modest and not overall big feeders so it's not bad growing for beginners these girls will need to get a good few of there fan leaves removed to promote airflow and heat exchange Dosidos Girls are starting to pick up now , one has even rewarded us with out of this world purple buds 💜 I love my purple 💜 Growing well under LST although they has a slow start they seem to be picking up so heigh and I do reckon I'll get at least 28 grams a plant Lemon haze I've always misjudge the sativa strains as uncontrollable for a small room but I've been mistaken as these are looking to be good yeilder Blueberry Very tempermental, this is such a hard strain to keep happy in general it's been a pain in the arse , Headlight kush auto These are the same very tempermental and a decent strain but doesn't have great vigour like the ZAMNESIA seeds seem to be looking great and growing amazing these girls would need another run but at the moment I'm not happy about overall growth

PAR PPFD 450 I hope my plants will fill out the 0,9 m2 grow tent in the last 2 weeks of veg. It would be so nice and make me so proud trying to achieve that in my first grow!! I really think that good equipment (AC Infinity, Spider Farmer), good nutrients (Plagron) and lot's of watching on YouTube and reading in blogs will pay off at the end.. And of course the determination willing to do the very best I can, each day, for 4 months, will give me even more pleasure in my new hobby and hopefully more product at the finish line. 👊

Abbruch

The buds are nice and compact, super sticky too… The terps are really amazing, just like the mother plant 🔥🍒
