16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Last week of growing for the cheese 🧀 from our friends ganja seeds! For the moment the plant looks healthy! We did some defoliation on the bigger leaves and lower branches. Now only water until next week where we will apply some biobloom to the soil!

Now that the plant is dry, I can go into a few more details. In my opinion, the harvest is a complete success for a beginner. During the harvest I realised how hard the flowers are. After drying, they became even harder, almost rock hard. The flowers are covered with many shiny trichomes. The harvest took quite a long time. I spent about 14 hours on it, which was also due to the super meticulous wet trim. The reason for the thorough wet trim was the mould. Every single flower was examined. I disassembled the large flowers before drying to be on the safe side. It's nice to have huge flowers, but in the end they are chopped up anyway. At the end of the 8 days of drying, the GG4 Sherbet FF rewarded me with finest ice-coated flowers. Thanks to the wet trim, I didn't have to do any more work. I was able to separate the buds directly from the branch and put them in the jars to mature. As the offcuts were also super potent due to the thorough wet trim, I processed them into butter.

Jesus! Smells like pineapples and some sort of exotic juice. Amazing. Definitely coming from the purple afghani lineage side They’re chugging along nicely, will switch to the 10/14 next week and see if that helps with the ripening phase. Sticky as hell, just brushing against them will feel like glue on your skin. Sticky, frosty and stinky!

Finishing out week 5 of flower and continuing my daily treatment for PM. Using Athena Mildew Control, an organic reactive treatment spray that you can use on the entire plant up to harvest. Realizing PM is systemic and is like herpes...it never goes away! All you can do is spot treat on a daily basis, the outward symptom of PM, which is the white patches/spots. Treating primarily Mimosa, but also parts of the Bling as well. Napali Pink - As usual, is impervious to this type of PM and is thriving, with huge fat buds that still continue to get fatter and tighter by the day. They haven't even fully swollen up yet either. If the smoke is great, which I am sure it will be, this is a strain that I highly recommend growing. It has excellent branching structure with upward growth with very little help. Takes nutrients well and not too fussy or needy with any of variations of NPK or micros. I would say based on the looks of the buds and trichs, she will be a last to finish, but well worth the wait, as I have so. Many. Fat. Ass. Buds!! Mimosa - such an amazing daytime strain that I would loove to always keep on hand, as this strain is on of my All Time Favorites! However, with such prized buds and terp profile, she is vulnerable to PM. She has had it the worst, and always continue to spot treat it daily. She is gaining this cool hue of purple along the outer edges of the leaves, as well as what I thought was PM, but surprisingly turned out to be a shit ton of trichs! Buds are fattening up nicely and think she will be the 2nd to finish out of the bunch. If I could grow her again, I will, but will be sure and do a preventative treatment for PM during her entire life cycle. The Bling - she has been a trip growing, as she is very viney and lanky, but her branches firm up nice and strong. Practiced some Kushman Chiropractic on some of the stems with success. Had to spot spray, but not as bad as Mimosa's PM. Since I defoliated all leaves covering bud sites, along with huge fans, the buds have actually grown in height and girth! This one never ceases to amaze as she has come back from a bad HST. She is so heavy with trichs, it looks like it snowed on the buds. I am hoping to get a good yield but between the three ladies, she will come in last for that. Used bamboo stakes to secure all branches/bud heads; used zip tie and paracord to secure to bamboo. Now every single bud gets light! Also testing out a Diminishing Light Schedule and now down to 11 hrs of daylight this week. Will continue to reduce by 1/2 hr each week until I hit 9 hrs of daylight. I will hold at that. Otherwise, patiently waiting for harvest!

just filling up nutrient solution, adjusting light and took some small leafs away. Easy grow until now. Hope it stays this way and getting a nice purple pheno. Ordered a fan to get some air movement inside the tent. When the leafs lay on top of each other you get wet spots. Hope it arrvies soon. Update 27.06 Fan arrived and also Plagron Green Sensation and Power Buds. Used 1ml/L. Will Change the whole solution next Weekend. ————————— Deutsch Nur Nährlösung aufgefüllt, Lampenabstand geregelt, ca 35cm und ein paar kleinere Blätter entfernt. Düngeschema wie bisher. Bis jetzt läuft alles glatt, hoffe bekomme nen schönen purple Phänotyp. Einen Clipventilator bestellt für ein wenig mehr Luftbewegung wenn die Blattmasse zu dicht wird und aufeinander aufliegt. Es bilden sich dort sonst feuchte Stellen. Hoffe der kommt morgen wenn DHL es nicht vermasselt. Update 27.06.: Ventilator ist da und dazu Plagron Power Buds und Green Sensation, 1ml pro Liter direkt in den Eimer gegeben. Tausche die gesamte Lösung nächstes Wochenende.

She was a very easy strain to grow and took very well to all LST. I did have an issue early on where I snapped her main stem almost completely off. I used some plumbers tape to keep her together and she recovered like nothing even happened to her. Definitely recommend growing this girl, especially beginners.

End of Week 16 (9th week of flower) Final week of flower. Turned the lights wattage down at the end of this week to 400W to mimmic the sun moving further away from the earth during Autumn and Winter seasons. This also creates an overall cooler temperature signalling to the ladies that the end is in sight. This also protects the trichomes and ensures they don't get damaged and also dropped the The ladies are fading more and more into their vibrant autumn shades. With hues of pink and purple that makes me so excited! Feeding just PH correct water until harvest, which is around the corner. We are currently on day 63 of flower and checked the trichomes - just a few specs of amber and the cloudy trichomes are more prominent although there are still some clear ones. We will push to harvest within the next couple of days, around day 67-69 Pest Report: None Smell Report: Staaaaanky!

Just trimmed up the girls one last time before the flip, took about twelve clones off of them all in total because I need to select a blueberry x zamal mom from them. really hoping they stretch quickly in the first couple weeks to give me some extra room to work with in the canopy.

She has a sweet, berry, fruity aroma. Smells great, and is loaded in trichromes. I did not get a purple color morph, but that is okay. She grew great in the small potter, and there was no major issues during the grow. Thank you again ILGM, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️ Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
