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 :)

Day 10F-17F
(Day 10F) Everything is looking on point. I’m going to soak in a gallon of lite compost tea diluted to 400ppms on each plant except for #5. I’m still a little worried I won’t make it through the stretch but at the same time I fear N toxicity just as much. I will give one more lite tea before the end of stretch, most likely at the end of this week.
(Day 12F) Ladies responded nicely to the tea except for BBB#1. It just isn’t looking as vigorous as it was last week. It’s the only one without an air hose so I guess it couldn’t hurt to grab one. The air hose does without a doubt prevent overwatering in soil and I’m surprised I don’t see more people using it. It’s cheap, effective and gives me similar results to growing in pure coco. I’m going to give one more light foliar spray of 3ml of calmag, 3ml of kelp and 2.5ml of insect frass.
(Day 14) Got the air hose hooked up to all 5 plants now.
I hate that I’ve been forced to defoliate so much in early flower and it is definitely reducing bud size. Last round my bbb’s had pistil clumps twice the size at this time and they were dealing with severe deficiencies. I’m hoping it’s just genetics or the fact they are larger plants.
(Day 15) I’m starting to see signs of N toxicity on the some of the new growth and overall growth on all plants except #1 has slowed. It was most likely caused by the foliar spray/tea combo. No more feeding anything for the next 12 days at least. Luckily it’s still pretty early in flower but I know that N tox can hit really hard after the stretch stops. I would be pretty upset if I vegged for 80 days only to get severe N tox in mid flower. Since it’s not breaking down in the soil, I should be fine. I’m going to defoliate some more of the large bottom fan leaves as they hold large reserves of extra nutes I don’t need. Hopefully these small defoliations aren’t stressing them at all. Next round I plan to do a big strip one week before flower, at transplant and a second big strip on day 21.
(Day 17) I think I was over-worrying about the seriousness of the N tox. I’ve seen it hit very hard in mid flower and can’t be too careful. It’s almost always caused by water soluble nitrogen so I’ll try to stay away from that unless I absolutely need it. My case does not look to alarming just yet. I noticed the stunting on #3 right after that last tea so I am going to stop giving the last liter of compost tea because of how unbalanced and separated at the bottom it is. It sure helped out the other 4 plants that didn’t get the granulars from the bottom of the bucket. I‘m planning to give a bloom tea around day 26 and a final top dress a few days later. #1 has now out stretched everything else in the tent. I honestly was not expecting that. If #3 didn’t get stunted this whole week I think it would be the taller/heavier plant.

It’s almost time! This week both plants are getting flushed to prepare them for harvest. 🌱
After that, they’ll be cut down and hung up to dry.
#2 has developed an absolutely massive main bud — honestly the biggest I've ever had so far!
Meanwhile, #1 stands proud as the tallest plant in the tent, still giving off that amazing sweet, tropical aroma.🍍🍬
Both plants have shown a very fast flowering time, finishing up quicker than expected!
Upon checking the trichomes, about 65% are milky, 30% amber, and 5% still clear — exactly where I want them for the effects I'm aiming for.
Super excited to see the final results after the dry and cure💚

Ciao a tutti, aggiornamento alla quinta settimana, le due golosa durante la quarta sono cresciute molto raddoppiando.
Ho fatto un topping alla #3 mentre ho applicato LST alla #2, essendo più cespugliosa la luce penetrerà meglio. Infine ho usato zeolite per fare prevenzione.
Per il momento non mostrano carenze e stanno rispondendo bene agli stress.
Buon cultivo 🌱

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==> Comments From Other "Living Soil/Super Soil" Growers Are Always Welcome <==
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTRODUCTION
I am very excited about this grow as it is the first time with a new setup. I have added a new light and am going to try a super soil grow for the first time. I have a Mephisto Genetics Double Grape between paper towels and waiting to sprout. The space is about 18 inches by 24 inches. The ceiling slopes down, so I don't have much room at the rear of the space. For medium I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog augmented with perlite. The bottom third contains 0.5 pounds autoflower blend of a "super soil" additive from Nature's Living Soil. (https://amzn.to/2PUHc6k) I am using three-gallon cloth pots. The light is a Horticulture Lighting Group 135W QB V2 R-Spec LED kit.
NUTRIENTS
Tap water pH’d to 6.5. pH lowered using 1.5 TBS unsulfured blackstrap molasses and apple cider vinegar. One-half TBS of vinegar lowered pH about 0.5 points.
The medium was very dry. Slowly watered to allow the moisture to be equal throughout the soil
ISSUES
My while I have yet to put the seed in the dirt, I am concerned about temperatures. They are currently running at about 86F. I would like to get it down to about 80F.
DAILY LOG
DAY -2: STARTED SEED
* Started seed in my traditional manner. Between paper towels soaked in 5% bleach solution, 0.25 tsp/0.5 Cup water. Temp 82F.
DAY -1: ACTION
*The smallest of tip has appeared. Will put in soil in a few hours.
Day 0: SEED PLANTED.
* Refrigerator filtered water. pH 6.5. 1 cup (250ml) added very carefully.
* Covered with humidity dome.
* Light from Soil: 32.5”
* Temperature: 82F
DAY 1: SPROUT
The sprouted seed has shown itself above the soil. A nice Christmas morning surprise. Now I can start counting the days.
* Watered with about 200ml of water at pH 6.5. Used apple cider vinegar to lower the tap water pH.
* I was pleased to find that my tap water does not contain chloramine. I was reading bad things about chloramine and "living soil." It can kill beneficial microorganisms. All I did was ask my water company and they replied saying "we found no mention of chloramine use in the system:" Just what I wanted to hear.
* After looking at other diaries using 250W LEDs, I moved my light down to 25 inches.
DAY 2: NO WATER FOR YOU
* No watering today. There is plenty of water in the soil and I want the roots to stretch and work.
* Working on increasing the humidity and getting more control over the temperature.
DAY 3: WATER PLANT, NOT POT. ADDED MYCORRHIZAE.
* Following the GrowWeedEasy watering suggestions for Kind Soil
* 500ml water at 6.5 pH, around the plant and not across the full 3-gallon bag.
* The fan gently moves the seedling to keep it strong.
* Had minor unexpected run-off. I hope to avoid that in the future.
* Added 1/8 tsp Great White Mycorrhizae dissolved in 100 ml of 50 ml water/50 ml molasses mix. Did not pH as it is such a small amount of solution compares to the watering earlier today.
DAY 4: NO WATER, NO PICTURE
* Nothing really new. So no reason for a picture.
* The soil is dry on top, but the bottom of the pot is still damp. So I will watch it, but I don't expect to water today.
* Adding a small intake fan has dropped the temps to about 82F, I think they can live with that.
* A humidifier arrives tomorrow and I think that will be my last step to improve the environment.
DAY 5: 500ml WATER, LOOKING GOOD
* The plant is looking good. The second set of true leaves has a bend, but nothing to worry about.
DAY 6: 500ml WATER. NEW HUMIDIFIER
* It wasn't really necessary to water today, but I did simply to stay on the schedule I am using.
* Given the lightness of the soil and the moving air, I don't anticipate any problems.
* Added a humidifier yesterday evening. It's bringing the humidity up, but I need to keep the space closed and I'm a bit concerned about having to provide it with distilled water frequently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WEEK ONE IN REVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Watered with 750 ml pH's tap water. Watered slowly to avoid any runoff.
* The plant is looking very healthy. It looks as if the roots are really starting to work as the plant is darker green.
* Balancing temperature and humidity is tricky, but I think I will be able to get it stabilized with a bit more work.
* Target Relative Humidity: Seedlings - 65-70; Vegging - 40-70; Flowering - 40-50
==> Beginning Next Week I Will Only Post Twice A Week, Mid-week And End Of The Week. <==

9th week:
Wedding Cake auto:
I am happy with my grow. She is looking great. I had never seen anything like that. She is 124 cm tall and full of trichomes as you can see in the picture.
As advised by an experienced user, i defoliated the damaged leaves. She is looking way cleaner now. I also added Big One as advised
I can see some brown trichomes appearing. I hope to see more brown trichomes in the end of this week.
Godzilla Cookies auto:
She is 76 cm tall and still under growing process. She has way less damaged leaves and is greener than Wedding Cake but way smaller tho.
------------------------
Smell: Strong, If i open the door of my room and keep it opened for a while, anyone in the house will detect it.
