in this past week I have defoliated the plants about 40% I have lost some leaves which have turned yellow I think the plants lack nitrogen due to the stretch the buds started to smell good. for nitrogen I add coffee grounds to keep away the pests and it is rich in nitrogen. the hardest part is fighting the humidity it’s been raining for a week 😭 humidity is the worst enemy I much prefer heat. see you soon

Increased nutrients to 11ml/gal each. Trichomes still mostly clear. Several weeks of flower left yet.

Salutations, fellow cultivators! It's time for the First Week Flower Report on our radiant Epsilon F1, and the journey of green glory continues. We've reached Week 5 from seed, and let me tell you, our botanical champion is stealing the spotlight. The transition to flowering has been nothing short of a magical metamorphosis. Our Epsilon F1, still in the prime of her youth, is taking on the dual role of vegging and flowering simultaneously. It's like she's performing a botanical juggling act, and she's doing it with flair and finesse. The bending saga continues as we guide her through this phase, ensuring she stays low and wide. It's a dance of cultivation, a choreography of growth that keeps our green queen in perfect harmony with the fabric pot. The benefits of this technique are unfolding like petals, promoting an even canopy and maximizing light exposure for a future harvest that promises to be truly extraordinary. As we step into the flowering phase, the environment remains a haven of stability. Room temperatures and humidity are unwavering, providing the optimal conditions for our Epsilon F1 to embark on this blooming adventure. Now, let's talk nutrients! The Aptus Holland super soil mix is still the backbone of our feeding regimen. Micromix Soil, Substrate Buffer Powder, All-in-One Pellet – it's the nutritional symphony that keeps our plant well-fed and flourishing. Mycor Mix, the microbial maestro, continues its support in the root zone, ensuring our Epsilon F1 has a thriving community of microorganisms by her side. In the spirit of continuity, we've introduced a touch of Foliar Applied Liquid Fertilizer, NutriSpray, into the routine. This foliar feast is like a gentle rain of nutrients, providing an extra layer of care during this crucial flowering phase. Our Epsilon F1 is not just a plant; she's a botanical champion, and she's proving it with every leaf and bud. Shout-outs to Royal Queen Seeds for the genetics that keep on giving, and a heartfelt salute to Aptus Holland for crafting nutrients that transform our grow space into a sanctuary of green excellence. Stay tuned, dear readers, as we witness the unfolding chapters of the Epsilon F1 saga. Happy growing, and may your gardens be forever green! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey

Nothing special this week. I added another light, now there's a light for every plant. From the photos you can see that they're not growing equaly so I'm treating them seperatly from now on. Otherwise 2 are floweing and the third will begin flowering probably this week as it's already showing signs.

Day 21, The 3 cherry's are doing fabolous. 1 of the pheno's i got in there is absolutely breathtaking, you'll notice her😉👍

Okay, so I didn’t think this seed would actually terminate as it was a joke. I didn’t use the cup of water and seed soak technique. I just planted it directly into some dollar tree soil I got for my kitchen window garden. So because the soil was so cheap, I didn’t even expect the seed to sprout. So I figured I’m going to grow it and see what I produce. I’m not sure if the picture I chose uploaded, but the other plants in the picture are bell pepper plants.

Realy stepped up the nutes and trying out snoops nutrents they came late but 1 bottles of a and b bloom only was enuf for 1 water change because I'm using the flow and grow and the res is like 50gal at 17mil a gal that's 850mil a week or 2 in bloom forget that but I have to say that 2weeks I did use it the plants realy looked amazing I think I should just move in to my grow room I cant even remember what my girlfriend and kids look like I found a new love and passion I can work 18hrs straight like it's nothing if I'm not looking after my new babys I'm building a new grow system or water filter system. I now have 2 familys and there both beautiful if my girlfriend makes me choose shes out the door .

Day 75. She’s huge and in the dark ice flushing. She smells amazing. I can not wait! 🎂🎂🎂🎂 we also added another meet Mortimer

Plot Alfa looking great this week I topped the super silver. now she will grow 2 Terminal bud tops instead of one. And she has already started to do so, I’m LSD training a purple queen from RQS going good!!

Going into week 4 looking lovely growth is great

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

Starting to warm up out here, getting real hot in the garden. Blueberry is showing her tiny preflowers and they are looking nice and pointed and very female - still waiting on a pistil to make 100% confirmation. About a month of veg left and I'm thinking it's going to really add some size on in that time. Happy growing!

plants keep growing nice. started veg nutrition plan

semana evolutiva, acertando os fatores que faltavam, mantendo o VPD, coloquei a Tela de SCROG para segurar o topo que já tinha ultrapassado a borda do vaso, os demais ramos continuo puxando para a borda, até agora nenhum Pistilo, fechando 4 semanas muito bem, sem estresse e com diferentes intensidades de técnicas em cada Auto, to fazendo meus próprios testes, coloquei as Auto do vaso mais largo para Green House que eu fiz, para posicionar os vasos do Indoor na posição final e adicionar a tela de SCROG, as Auto Outdoor adoraram a casa nova! seguimos..

Hello Diary, He finished the second week of vegetation at the Farm without any problems. The only thing I did was fill the humidifier with water every two days and watch them develop beautifully. The plants grew a little more than 10 cm in a week, which is great, and they started showing the first signs of flower formation. It will be much more visible next week. Watering was done only once, they probably get enough moisture from the air, so it is not necessary to water too often. This time I added Bigger Flowers from the Bio Flowering Booster palette. Here's how it looked last week. 06/02/2023. - Day 13. Watering. I prepared 2.5 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and added Bigger Flowers. I watered both plants evenly with that amount. 07/02/2023. - Day 14. End of the second week of vegetation. I photographed the plants and recorded a video. I also measured the height to see how much they have progressed in the last week. Medusa F1 #1 - 19 cm Medusa F1 #2 - 17 cm That's all for this week, thank you all for your support and see you soon.

Flowering week 3 ---> Indoor plant: Nothing special this week. She stop to grow and she start to develop more bigger flowers with strong smell 😍. The soil dry out quickliy compered to last week. I waterd it with 4lt of water (pH 6.5) and half tab of EASY BLOOM BOOSTER TABLET from Royal Queen Seeds. Temperature grow box---> 22-26 °C Umidity grow box ---> 45 - 55 % Outdoor plants: The plants look more healty and bushy💪 thenks to the beautifull weather. They grow bigger and develop some small flowers. They will probably not produce bigger and dense flower😢 but currently my plan is to harvest the ladies more late possible(to get the best result) and to continue water them with 6.5 pH water and Atami 1 Component every time they dry out. This week i waterd them with 1.5 lt of 6.5 pH water and Atami 1 Component for each plant.

HEY GANG UPDATE BEFORE THE FLIP!!!!! So guys I had the WPM (white powdery mildew) issue with the gelato auto haven't really seen it coming up elsewhere I'm already using a OMRI 3-in-1 spray for it will update on that as well, hopefully that'll cure it, otherwise these other girls are doing great! I have almost finished setting up the tent system and will update that also, see video, thanks for everyone's help, I cant imagine what I would do without the whole forum here and the wisdom I'm definitely a lot more knowledgeable about the process and systems that I have for it so again, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t done enough study before I started, so at the beginning I used to water the plant way more than it needed to and he almost died.

Start of Week 7! Day 44 - 12/12 Looks like I guessed right with the seed swap because this girl has clearly shown she's the LSD-25 this past week. Very excited for my first purple plant since I wasn't able to pull much purple out of my Chocolate Mint OG in my first grow. Glad I have 2 more seeds of this strain so I can give them a better chance at growing up before flower in a future grow. Maf' looks like a Solo Cup Challenge in a 5gal pot 😅 Adjusted the LST and clipped two fan leaves between the top nodes to give the secondary sites a bit more light (Not shown in Day 44 pics) Fed with the same PH Perfect MGB/Molasses mix but upped the MGB to .75ml a gal split between the 3 plants I have going now and given a water chaser to keep the top layer clean from build up. Day 48 - 12/16 Gave another wash out feeding with gallon and a half of Water/Molasses mix split between the LSD and two Cali Snows. Also added D-Earth as a preventative measure on the soil since they're starting to form buds. Trying to avoid any future harmful chems or oils on the flowers if some little buggers decide to move in plus it kind of adds silica when you water it in. Pulled the plants out for a good look and slight LST adjustment. Not much to do on the LSD-25 since she set flower early and the size/structure is locked in. Can only lean and spread to try and get the small amount of bud sites to fatten as much as possible. It is very exciting to watch the purple starting to form in the buds and leaves. She won't be big but I'll try and make her pretty fo sure 😈 Not too much smell to her yet but it could also be due to the fact that the Cali Snows I have are starting to get their stank on and probably overpowering anything the LSD is throwing out. Day 50 - 12/18 Biggest feed so far! Split 1.5ml each of PH Perfect MGB kit and 2 tsp across 2 gallons of feeding solution. LSD-25 got 0.5ml each + 1tsp Molasses and chased with a couple more litres (You imperial American's got me all messed up on this site) Will give a day to dry a bit before giving the top layer of soil a spray down with water to get rid of any residue then top with a D-Earth sprinkle and let sit until it's time for another feed. This is the fun phase of having to take pictures every day or else you don't notice just how big the buds are starting to get day by day! Might be able to get an early chop and dry for some uncured taste testing before New Years depending on how long I let her go to maximize bud size on such a small girl 😛 Thanks for stopping in, throw down a like so I can return the favour, will update through the week! 🙌 IG: @GlazedGrow

Día 88 y penúltimo antes del corte. Ya se aplicó Flawless Finish para un acabado impecable como su nombre lo indica. Siempre prefiero hacer el lavado de raiz solo aplicando agua en las últimas 2 semanas, pero esta vez lo hice aplicando el finalizador y luego los últimos riegos con agua purificada. La verdad es que estoy contento con los resultados de esta nena, que es hermosa por cierto, desprende olores ácidos, cítricos, dulces. Los colores son hermosos y las flores están rebosantes de tricomas, lo que la vuelve muy vistosa. Es todo por ahora, estaré manteniendoles informados en estos últimos días. Buenos humos! 👽
