***Attention*** Please note that if you only read my entries at the beginning of each week, I try to post pictures daily, with note updates as well. ******************************************************************************************************* Feb 24, 2018: I've decided to have a positive outlook on this grow, despite all the errors I made, and problems unstable genetics provided me. Though my crop is heavily seeded, the trichome production seems on point, I should end up with some decent smoke. It's a humbling lesson to learn, don't relax your attention at all, these wonderful plants are capable of extraordinary things when improperly motivated. I’m excited to pop some Nirvana seeds in a couple months but until then I’ll try to get the most from this crop. ... Feb 23, 2018: Just another day, might just do straight water feeding the next few in a row since I'm finally seeing some tip burn. Considering I've been going pretty hard with the solution ppm i'm surprised I've not seen burn before, I started in FFOF so soil was hot from the start. ... Feb 22, 2018: Super depressing news folks, it seems my crop seeding is more extensive than previously thought. I am just disappointed in myself for not catching the plant throwing sacks earlier. Even after countless hours researching, it seems that once again I am doomed to learn through experience. hopefully these seeds mature and then finish the buds so I can harvest. I knew the risks of growing bag seed and am not paying for it. Can't wait to start the next round. My next round will be seeds from Nirvana, their AK-48 and Aurora Indica. ... Feb 21, 2018: Did a bit more staking, with that thick canopy of branches was hard to see a few branches drooping. Managed to bend/break a branch with a golf ball sized bud, not sure if the stalk will heal itself this far into flower, but I clothes pinned it straight and will monitor. still seeing lots of clear and no amber, still a ways to go. Tested a lower bud on the plant that got heavily seeded and found the high quick, and just a hair racy but much better than the first tester a couple weeks ago. Only have taken 2 buds for testing 2 weeks apart, being this is my first grow I wanted to experiment and see how the high changes as the flowers mature. ... Feb 20. 2018: Watered with 6.5PH RO water with 2mL/gal Cal-Mag. Nothing much else to comment on, just watching the buds grow. One plant is going to be finishing much earlier than the others, not sure what to do about that since i was plannig on using my grow tent as my drying area. More colas are starting to lean, as of now they are propped up by the canopy, but will probably have to stake a few eventually. Getting a few orange hairs, which i've read can indicate less than 3wks to go, which makes sense as that would be almost 8 weeks flowering. Im not making any decision based on time, as the plant will let me know when it's ready, but knowing when to start my water only feeds is helpful. ... Feb 19, 2018: Alrighty guys, girls, and zimzers we are staring week 12 from seed and we are 32 days since first sign of pistils. I am now feeding full flowering nutrients (Fox Farm Tiger Bloom) and the girls seem to really like it, I've seen no evidence of leaf tip burn, to avoid burn in an all soil grow I'm increasing the nutrient concentration gradually, waiting at least 3-waterings before increasing from last watering. I've only had to stake up 2-3 top cola's, as the plant they are on is in front and doesn't' have as much support from surrounding plants. Although these plants were grown from seeds form the same bud, the different phenotypes are generating vastly different smells. I try to bump and move the plants as little as possible, every time I move anything the air is filled with a musky greasy and sometimes fruity pungent odor! **As a side note, I would like to point out that I have done almost no defoliation, the under canopy you see has developed naturally due to the plants dropping fan leaves as necessary. I have done some pruning of lower flowering branches, but these branches contained no fan leaves, only resource draining under canopy bud sites and branches.**

Over all it was a hell of a ride, but a good one. My first grow ever learned so much and still learning. Started with 4 plants ended with 3. One of them was mutated or something during veg so decided to pull. This strain grew strong and thrived the whole time. I learned a lot about ph and air flow and VPD still learning and trying to find that sweet spot! I loved getting to know these girls it’s crazy how plants talk to you! Also watching these girls flower and bloom! Into some sweet sticky dank yummy nuggs was amazing such a good feeling! Emm Over all I’m happy with 3 oz ready to keep on growing more and learn to get a better yeild! Super thankful and happy growing

17/MAY/21 D:10: Didn't have any time over the weekend to visit the tent so I was excited/nervous about what state my girls would be in... And wow, she has definitely sprouted up and gained some decent growth. Very happy with how she is growing in my new setup! A very faint odour of the generic weed smell as I opened up the tent door, she is already leaving a weedy smell on fingers after gently inspecting the leaves. Gave her some water and a very light feeding of Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Grow Part A & B 18/MAY/21 D:11: All is well, I keep forgetting to take a dustpan and brush so I can clean the floor 😱 Will make a reminder for next visit. Other than that, she's looking great, Out of seedling phase, and she is slowly starting to veg nicely now 😁 20/MAY/21 D:13: She has packed on a nice amount of foliage, certainly looking so far like a typical Kush bush 😄 I am thinking about planting that Strawberry banana seed daily! 21/MAY/21 D:14: Decided to top her, I am going to leave the fan leaves over the weekend just to help with recovery & growth. I have removed all new growth that would grow into anything other than a fan leaf. I am following "Nugbuckets" mainlining technique, I have found a very useful step by step adaptation of this technique by "Nebula" ( https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets ) A really interesting read, if you haven't I'd suggest checking it out! This is a tried and proved method, managed by many growers. So if it goes wrong, all responsibility is on myself. Thanks for stopping by! Peace

WEEK 16 - (06/13/2021 - 06/19/2021) Week 8, Day 50 - FLOWER: 06/13/2021 After inspecting the trichome development for the last 7-10 days or so, I’ve decided that today would be the ideal time to begin flushing. The American Pie #1 does not look like it’s ready to begin flushing quite yet, as she appears to be about a week behind in maturity. Despite that, I’ll still begin flushing her today too. Recycled water: 70ppm, 69℉ + pH Up: 7ml Mixture: 95ppm, 6.4 pH, 69℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 895/800, 6.1 pH AP#1 - 529/434, 6.5 pH AP#2 - 365/270, 6.7 pH GC#1 - 624/529, 6.3 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 8, Day 51 - FLOWER: 06/14/2021 Did a trichome check on the plants today. Spent more time with the Jelly Banana to better determine her maturity level. She actually looks like she is ready to harvest today. I’d say trichomes are 75-80% milky, with an amber trichome here and there. I’m going to try and push her through at least one more low-ppm watering and test the runoff. If I start seeing more amber trichome development, I will cut her down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 8, Day 54 - FLOWER: 06/17/2021 Recycled water (8 gallons): 69ppm, 5.8 pH, 70℉ + HydroGuard: 8ml + pH Up: 3ml Mixture: 82ppm, 6.0 pH, 70℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 688/606, 6.5 pH GC#1 - 602/520, 6.5 pH AP#2 - 633/551, 6.9 pH AP#1 - 685/603, 6.5 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [SUMMARY] I expect this to be my last full week of flower. All the girls are looking ripe for the chopping. The aroma that bursts out of the tent when I unzip it every time is heavenly. American Pie #1 is still about a week behind in maturity, but she will get cut down with the other plants regardless. Jelly Bananen started to turn a lime green color so she'll probably get chopped and hung up in the next few days when my second tent arrives (4x2 AC Infinity). That wraps up this week! See you ladies and gentleman in the next entry. 🙏

Vamooos familia, y es que nuestras gorillas girl de sweet seeds son increíbles, tienen un grosor de 7mm en el tallo a mitades, brutal, y eso que las tenemos en 5,5litros. Ph controlado en 6,5 tenemos humedad y temperatura dentro de los parámetros, pronto empezaremos aportar overdrive ya que es una cepa la cual sacaremos el máximo partido a las flores. Me a flipado mucho el crecimiento en si de esta sativa, tienen pocas hojas y son bastante grandes en comparación al resto.

Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest Big Demon Auto W5V5 7/6-12 Big demon auto is stacked close together. I think there were 5 or 6 nodes so I topped her and used pins to tie down the limbs. I also lollipopped and cleaned out all the under growth.. She is 6 inches tall after topping. Giving water only for this grow. 7/6 2 liters ph 6.5, ppm 238 to get the pot wet. 7/8 1 liter ph 6.6, ppm 262 I included videos of the ph meter with water, iridium glass & iridium glass and copper. When in water only, the ph meter climbs steadly, in iridium, there is slight jumping in the register. When the readings are taken with copper and iridium, the ph meter jumps up and down in wide ranges. So there is marked energy emanating from the glass and from the copper. What is it doing? I don’t know but stay tuned thru the grow to find out. As aways, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿o 💫Natrona💫

done a defoliation on both the girls to get a nice air flow though into the canopy, as I was pulling down one of the main stems on the BPP I cropped it, not intended to snap the branch.

Well its been a good run with this pheno , she's the biggest plant i've grown so far and has excelled in bud production litterally everywhere. The shogun nutrients seem to have worked really well with no deficiencies throughout the grow . I've stop using dragon force now and am just feeding ph'd water for these final few days. I am looking forward to sampleing soon my gelato has also done really well with some nice dense buds

I basically skipped week 17 as there was nothing new except I added some compost tea that I made with come compost, vegetable scraps, a few cedar clippings and neam oil (oh and some fertilizer ... I forget what) Sprayed with neam oil/soap mix
