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.

Week 6 Veg. The Wock smell is getting stronger by the day. Strong candy terps with gas, Straight GAS that stings the nose bit makes you want to take an even bigger huff. I can already tell she’s going to be stanky once flower starts. One thing to note about Wockesha is that she is a super compact plant with thick foliage once topped. I’ve started to introduce the bloom nutrients at 1tbsp/g. since I’ll be flowering in the next 3 to 4 weeks, I’m adding early to ensure that all nutrients in my living soil will be broken down and readily available to all plants as soon as bloom starts.

Skunk appears to have grown an inch this week. I measured both of my colas to see if there was a height difference between the two. Amazingly, the cola that broke is 1 inch taller than its counter parts.
I also took a picture of a skunk plant that I am growing simultaneously in a grow tent. They are SO different. I thought nature would produce a better grow but in this case, my skunk plant in the tent is bigger and its buds are thicker. Now, that being said, I did not pinch the skunk that is growing in the tent. As a matter of fact, I haven't had to tend to the grow tent skunk plant as much as my outside grow because of our crazy weather this Spring.
I originally bought this skunk seed because I wanted to know if it would smell like a skunk. FYI: It does not.
Royal Queen says "The Sweet Skunk Auto strain offers a powerful taste and aroma mixing slightly fruity, spicy, and—of course—skunky notes. I can smell the fruity scent.

RadicalJuice – Week 10 (Flowering Week 7)
Last week’s defoliation? No problem at all! 💪🌿 The plant handled it like a champ, and now the buds are stacking up beautifully, getting dense and frosty. The aroma is insane—a perfect mix of pomegranate and mandarin. 🍊🔥
Can’t wait to see how she finishes! Stay tuned, follow along, and don’t miss the final weeks! 😎

RadicalJuice – Woche 10 (Blüte Woche 7)
Die Entlaubung letzte Woche? Kein Problem! 💪🌿 Sie hat das super weggesteckt, und jetzt sind die Buds richtig am Wachsen – dicht, fett und voller Harz. Der Geruch ist einfach unbeschreiblich, eine Mischung aus Granatapfel und Mandarine. 🍊🔥
Bin gespannt, wie sie sich bis zum Ende entwickelt! Bleibt dran, folgt mir und verpasst nichts! 😎

3/11 Week 11 a day early due to schedule - Day 26 of Flower
Buds building very well no signs of any deficiencies and the tips are ok so leaving all nuets as is.
Halfway to projected harvest date according to Fast Buds, I believe them from what I am seeing.
Having some humidity issues due to our funky weather.
Humidity running higher than is safe on lights out , 60-70%, so installed one small dehumidifier but getting a larger one today to add to it.
That is the extent of our problems so aint beechin guys
One final comment here, these Fast Flowering photo strains seem tailor made for growing indoors.
The flowering times, the way they grow and the lack of strong odors even with larger buds just impresses the crap out of me.
👍 Fast Buds
3/12 - 27/Flower
Continue to stack up the buds I had to raise the lights one click to keep em at 16" on both lights.
The increased feed PPM is showing in rapidly growing buds.
No changes in feeding at this time.
My wife has sweetly pointed out I messed up reading the calendar.
This is day 27 of flower
😜
Yeah it was real good for 23 days too LOL
So FB pegged 45 days of flower on the FF7 , with 18 days remaining.
Flush could begin in 11 days at the soonest.
Which consequently is when I drop the seeds for the last grow before my vacation. 😉
3/13 Day 28 Flower
Raised the lights up a bit, want better dispersal from the two light sources and since there is now almost too much light this seems wise as the buds continue to stack up.
The two light together are 1100 and 700 umols at a minimum so with 1800 Umols (the same as a 1000 watt HID) I can afford a dispersed pattern of light sans hot spots and dark corners.
Multiple light sources is the way to go no doubt now. maybe pics later if I've time.
Pics
3/14 Day 29 Flower
Ye though there be no toilet paper in the land we do have buds...
This virus thing is just insane aint it.
Why toilet paper I wonder...
Anyway increased PK to max 5ml/gal as I see no toxicity and they are building like crazy so feed em.
This is the last week for the PK booster cutting it out in a few days, plenty in the pot to carry her through the flush.
No other issues to comment on pretty easy grow so far.

6/19 Knowing it was going to be over 100° for the majority of the day I WATERED the garden with 3 1/2 gallons. I went to check around 4 and everything looked amazing. We got some hard rain from a thunderstorm at 4pm but it seems like these girls like it rough and did fine. The take a beating and come back stronger. Knock on wood but I haven't seen any problems on the plant I snapped amd dict taped.. Everything seems to have toughened up and the leaves are an awesome healthy color. They grow observable every day now. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 100 again for most of the day before weather goes back to semi normal. I took a video but it will take way to long to upload. Tons of other pics didn't upload either.
6/20 Another day that's going to be over 100°. Plants seem to love it lol. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Bags still had some heft so I didn't water this morning. I figure I'll check them around noon and then plan on watering tonight if they need it. Hopfully they'll get some rain from thunderstorms. This crop has been through a lot. I think that has helped them significant deal with this unpredictable weather.
6/21 We had a MAJOR thunderstorm with sheet rain yesterday. I missed it but it was intense. I saw some videos. First time dad seemed concerned. Fortunately there was no damage. I was going to water today but I decided to hold off due to the look of the plants and the "praying leaves" at 4pm and feeling some moisture in the soil. Bags seemed to still have some heft. I'll probably water tomorrow. Need to transplant the 1 gals and need to figure out what I want to do for nutes this year. So far I've put in much less effort and I'm still doing great. I just don't have as many plants as usual.
6/22 Rained last night. Not much but the bags were heavy still so I held off watering. Plants looked happy and I can fix under watering much easier. It will rain tomorrow. I'll check throughout the day and update but things are going good. I should transplant those 3 seedlings in 1 gals.
6/23 It Rained last night and is suppised to rain today. It was raining when i went over. Just the kind if rain the plants love. I'll check again before church but I'm eventually going to have to water them. Those thunder storms helped a lot.
6/24 Rained about an inch yesterday. Plants loved it. Bigger everytime I see them. One seedling showed a pistol and I'll transplant it with the rest. It was the only one I was worried about. I've seen a FEW leaf hopper punctures and some other bites that could be anything. Time to get the ipm
6/25 Looks like its gonna be a nice sunny day. 75° at 10am. Plants are doing amazing and growing at a rapid pace. Haven't done anything ipm as of yet but any damage I've seen is localized to "A" leaf on "A" plant. I'll be paying attention and watching for signs of deficiencies. As of now though they LOOK great. I'll try to transplant the 3 seedlings today.

Day 69 (March 6th)
Just gave everyone their last watering. I’m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. I‘m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didn’t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing I’m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. I’m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow I’m just indirectly running a small usb fan. I’m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway.
Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Can’t wait to smell each individually in jars.
Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again.
(Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least it’s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product.
I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldn’t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. I’ll have to check with the microscope.
Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

I had alot of fun growing this strain, everytime I opened the tent and smelled that delicious strawberry, it really brought a smile to my face. I have tried Strawberry Pie #1, and she is delicious. The buds are extremely dense, and have a very nice pink and green contrast. I haven't tried #2 or #3 yet, but I am very much looking forward to it after some more curing time.
I ended up making bubble hash out of the trim, and I got 8 grams, which I pressed into 4.7 grams of rosin, and all I can is that this is some of the best tasting and strongest rosin I have ever tried, let alone grown. I will be posting some videos of the flower being pressed once it is properly cured. I will say that after smoking, I realized I need some more Sativa for daytime use, so I am giving my Gorilla Cookies to a friend, and starting some Orange Sherbet instead. As a delicious night time/dessert smoke, and especially for those into concentrates, you absolutely can't go wrong. Thanks for checking me out and blaze on!

On day 20 of flower I’ve decided to do a big defoliation to reduce the humidity and make sure all the budsites get enough light.
Never did a big defoliation like this but always wanted to try it to see if it’s something for my growing method or not.
PH is on the low side currently, started on 6.3 with 1.75EC six days ago but the ladies are drinking more water than nutrients so each day the PH drops and the EC rises a bit.
Will do a complete refresh when it drops to 5.2
Smell is really great and my gloves were already reallu sticky after defoliation round.
