The girls had a big week! Started off with transplanting to their 2 gallon pots early in the week. They showed no stress, or signs of slowing down. With the extra room to spread, the girls were clearly loving their transplant home. Temps were steady around 82 degrees, and RH was kept to a reasonable 60% while they were recovering. I also started with a larger nutrient feed, and will be rotating between regular feed, light feed and then plain water now that they can handle more.

Harvest time has come. It is difficult to kill a plant I have been raising so lovingly and with a lot of care as a wonderful living being that she is (and we all are as One). I even stayed up all night once to do a slow full 3x flush of the soil with emergency pH correction and buffering when I finally received the meters and looked at runoff values. It was almost like manually pumping a blood transfusion for a patient overnight. The idea to grow indoors came as a lightning and almost by a random chance. It was, of course, a synchronicity of a high order, because that flash coincided precisely with a rare moment where I had a small window of time to collect seeds of my choice in person and transport them safely and very quickly. And get extremely helpful advice from a moderately experienced grower, who helped me avoid self-taught rookie mistakes and pick an almost perfect setup for my purposes. Many steps I have learned only when it was time to take them, and since there's only so much I can do in a day, I got to some procedures like instrumentally checking salt buildup and substrate pH pretty late. I did monitor her leaves from the get-go, so leaving aside a light nute / photon burn of the tips, I think it went pretty well. Definitely better than I would have imagined! I wanted to do a small sitting meditation beside the plant before cutting her to dry. Wanted to thank the plant for this majestic experience and the healing power of gardening and caring for a plant on top of the medicinal values of cured buds and edibles we made along the way from trimmed fans. Those were unexpectedly strong and pleasantly smoooth. Wanted to tell her that I will miss her and remember her fondly, especially since she is my first full successful grow. The first time is always an unforgettable experience. Wanted to tell her that I do not want to kill her, and it was painful for me to FIM and shape her. A sitting meditation turned into a dynamic meditation when I started removing light gear and feeding system and cleaning the grow space in preparation for drying. Pretty quickly I noticed that I have a very real feeling of experiencing light- to medium-dose mushroom trip. I had vaped some 50/50 hybrid street bud half an hour earlier, but it was a very modest dose — shout out to TinyMight, you guys are amazing! — but no psychedelics. At that moment I felt that I don't need to say anything to the plant, because we are one and she had known my every feeling and intention from the start. And then I realized that what I had considered to be a sombre event, is just a transformation for the plant, it's next manifestation. Having lived as a plant, she will now transform into happy and healing experiences of those who will enjoy her flowers. This plant has supported me and helped me heal deep trauma and depression at least twice in my life over a period of a few months on each occasion. In between those healing periods it was just a get high and enjoy shit because why not kind of thing, and it didn't have any long lasting psychological effect at all, in stark contrast to classical psychedelics (LSD, shrooms, DMT etc). During those non-healing periods I didn't even have an urge to smoke all that often. I could easily not touch the stuff for a couple of months straight. My yearly consumption was in low single digit grams. Sometimes I felt that I did not enjoy the effect at all, it was slightly unpleasant even. Why would I want to blur my crisp perception to a gooey marshmallow state of cannabinoid high and scattered attention? But when it is time to do some inner work — and you cannot miss this feeling if you strive to tune into your inner state — god, is it a POWERFUL plant! I am very happy and humbled to be a conduit for this energy by caring for the plants and raising them. I respect this plant very deeply. --- Split her into thee parts by leaving only a few nodes creating the outer layer of colas on each level and effectively "topping" her a couple of levels above (or below, technically, now that she's upside down) and this creating a new drying layer/level. Tried wet trimming and I think I liked it. Will try to complete it in the next 1-2 days if I decide to go ahead with the idea. --- After drying for 7 days, I stabilized humidity at 60-62% for 4 hours and then chopped off buds (trimmed in batches during the first 3 days of drying), weighed and packed into glass jars for curing. Literally packed, because she yielded over 4 litres of dried trimmed bud (I think it was 4.5l) weighing 267g. WOW. I did not expect that on my first run I will be able to grow so much potent medicine. A lot of it is fluffy, but can be easily pressed denser, if storage or appearance are a concern. In fact, I had to press the buds slightly to make it all fit in two 2-litre jars. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way and thank you for your warm wishes! And thank you — the One reading this right now.

9/14 Week 9 and she is doing fine Little vid she is front rt Nuets not changing for now 9/16 Doing well but some white tips are saying we gotta reduce the salts so will be dropping CT nuets 10% and upping PK to 2.5 Extra space is really doing them well Defoliation again tonight the war on stemmed leaves has begun 9/17 Held a meeting of the minds and decided the best course of action is to flip the light schedule so I can feed them more appropriately, twice a day. Leaving nuets as they are as this will drop pot EC. Setting the alarm for the AM before lights out at 7:30 and changing the sched to 6AM-6PM summer is done no need for current schedule. Lights be out from 7:30AM to 6AM long I know but should not bother them. 9/19 Lights on girls feed buds look fine Video enjoy

amazing growth this week from all 3 plants. The peanut butter cookies is recovering from the transplant. Both the auto cheese and auto cinderella jack have both started to show signs of flowering and have bushed out incredibly well. The pbc has had its first top done and has started growing 2 extra nodes. 07/08/2020 - training has been done on all the autos. They have recovered extremely well and seem to not be slowing down. Finally starting to see the type of flowers I have been striving for. After a semi unsuccessful first grow, this has been a huge relief. Both autos are now showing signs of going into flower so I will try to stop LST unless any unruly branches form. The peanut butter cookies has now started to fully recover from the transplant and topping. Will now allow this to flourish and grow as big as it wants as both autos should be done before its too big (hopefully)

She’s in flower and growing a whopping 2.5 inches a day or more! 😍 I mean seriously 💯 I’ve topped her and trained her and will continue until the scrog and let it do its own work from there! I plan to defol her on her last week of flower and I’ll flush once even though I don’t have to! As I want to put ice cubes and get some hue going!

New week starts. __________________ 🌞19.04 Spraying by the 'Sea Weed' solution, but it's usual. Waiting for crone forming, doing nothing. It's a last week of vegetation, next one will be 12/12 hrs of light. 🌞20.04 Nothing today except clean water spraying. I was thinking about HST making to lower a middle brunches of my 'stack'. But I'm too scared to cause a lot if stress to my girls. They can become hermaphrodites, it's too risky. Theoretically, I can wait one more week them to be healed from the lasd defoliation and then break some brunches. But I don't want to wait more. 🌞21.04 Nothing today, we just growing. 'RG'#2 has alot of yellow tips on its yong leaves. It's definitely a feeding deficit, but I already giving them nutrients in 80% concentration. Next feeding (two days later) will be 100%/full dose and then light schedule will be changed. 👉Upd: I made HST (Supercropping) to eight middle branches of 'HB' and 'RG'#2. They were too tall compared to others. Now they have five days for healing before light schedule will be changed. It will be a great experiment for future grow cycles. 👉Upd_2: All eight broken future colas turned themselves to the 'Sun'. HST procedure was successful. Now my garden is as flat as an 🌊🌊🌊 (almost). 🌞22.04 Nothing today, even spraying. I want them to heal faster, not to rot... Broken branches of 'HB' and 'RG'#2 feels great. Leaves aren't withering, their stems are hard. They'll be OK after a few days. I think I'll made one more defoliation on wednesday. Wright after that I'll turn on 12/12 light shadule. 🌞23.04 Today I measured drainage water. There are too much sault was gathered in pots: 2.8Ec I drained 60 liters of nutrients solution (20l each pot). And EC fell to 2.6 only - it's too damn high numbers! In wednesday I'll water my plants with 'GHE Pro Clean' before light schedule changing. It will clean them well. Upd: 12hrs after this procedure they look much larger then they were before. I'm starting to run out of space in my box. 🌞24.04 Nothing today. A soil is too wet, Ec is too high, the broken branches haven't healed yet. I'll wait for two days, then flush my girls with a 'Clean' solution. Upd.: Light defoliation (~40 leaves total) was done at the evening to all except 'HB'. It was a last leaves cutting before flowering time. Details on photo. 🌞25.04 It's a last day of vegetation light schedule. I'll turn my lamps to 12/12hrs tomorrow. Also I will turn on a third 100W lamp in the box. This was a normal week. ____________ Week ends.

Harvest time! I chopped her down early this week. She's been drying and is almost ready to take a weight for the harvest entry. She needs a day or two more though... she's not quite there yet.
