04/09 - Started minor defoliation. Shes getting too bushy and blocking bud sites and causing moisture spots. Will remove a couple of leaves every other day for the next week. 05/09 - Full res change. Realised I mucked up the ratio. Went 35ml Micro, 25ml grow, (Shouldve been the other way around, so added an extra 10ml grow), 15ml Bloom and 15ml Silica. EC 1.4, PH 5.7. Will keep an eye on her and add some additional grow if she does alright. 06/09 - Minor defoliation. Removed about 12 leaves total so far. LST to spread the canopy a little more. PH stable at 5.8, EC at 1.4, Water level dropping. Seems to be stretching and pistils have begun to form! Responding well to the uptick in nutes from the res change. 07/09 - Leaf tucking, LST and took a leaf or two. Shes getting her stretch on for sure. PH stable at 5.8, EC stable at 1.4. Water level still dropping. 09/09 - After much deliberation, I ended up going for a fairly heavy defoliation session and am now going to leave her the hell alone until at least mid flower. I removed a large chunk of shaded leaves and bud sites and effectively ended up lollipopping her. I also removed all the old LST, and added a couple to pull leaves out of the way. The canopy remains largely unchanged, but shes much more airy now, and Im seeing far fewer damp spots where leaf perspiration has occured. Now to see if I can keep my hands off for a few weeks!

Dutch Passions Shaman Meine Shamaninnnen blühen nun beide und es macht mir einen Riesen Spaß ihnen beim Wachsen zuzuschauen. Bei No. 2 habe ich Vergilbungen festgestellt, ich vermute es liegt an dem zweistündigen Tauchbad nach der Sieben-Tages-Dürre im Topf. Ich hatte sie etwas vergessen, der Schwarzkohlekompost war patschnass. Die regelmäßigeren Trockenphasen, regelmäßigere Wasserversorgung und die Brennessel- und Beinwelljauche, die ich den beiden Anfang letzter Woche gab, sollten aber schon bald Wirkung zeigen. Ebenso das Bittersalz als Magnesium- und Schwefelquelle. Der Topf ist mit 17 Litern einfach viel zu klein für die wüchsige Shamanin. No. 1, die in dem 30 Liter Topf lebt fühlt sich sehr wohl, keine Anzeichen von Stress oder Mangelerscheinungen. Die Bewässerung läuft nicht optimal aber ich versuche nun regelmäßiger nach den beiden zu schauen. Ende der Woche habe ich beiden Damen, vor allem Shamanin No. 1, einige untere Fächerblätter genommen und eine kräftige Entlaubung im Inneren der Pflanzen vorgenommen. Beide bekommen wieder ausreichend Licht, Luft und Liebe. 24 Stunden später sehen sie sichtlich erfrischt und glücklich aus. Der Mulch auf den Töpfen wird unter Hochdruck vom Bodenleben zersetzt, und die Shamaninnen haben schon längst mitbekommen, dass es da oben was leckeres zu naschen gibt. Sie Wurzeln bis in das Laub der Wildkräuter. Danke für‘s vorbeischauen. Bis nächste Woche.

Thaught the yield would be bigger and the smell louder in generell.

All the late nights and hard work are starting to show signs of paying off. Got high hopes for this grow

Lampa na 50%. 65cm po LST 70cm. Warunki temperatury i wilgotności stabilne. Wydaje mi się ze po LST rośliny stanęły. Zobaczymy jak będzie dalej. Opóźniona panna bez LST.

Day 74 took a look at trics last night and starting to see some amber coming through so starting flush and pull in another week or so see where its at did have ph problems till last week an a half got it takin care of better later then never

Ok so She is so close to going into flower lot’s of stretching going on I just ordered more nets because she is already like 3 ft over the last netting I put up so I’m hoping this next set of nets will be the last but with the most I don’t no lol I went ahead and stopped topping because I think she is right on the verge of going into flower stage a lot of branching going on up top everything is multiplying on its own really getting thick and full up top this should be an amazing yield I’m hoping for 5 lbs I think I might get it we will see how big and heavy the buds are I’m taking every Necessary precaution for up coming bud Weight Which I have a problem with every year Breaking my branches from weight I learned my lesson so far so good had a wicked ass storm blow in twice this week no breaks no stress Hopefully this will be the last week of veg this plant is awesome If the bud quality is good this is going to be my greatest plant of all time LOL

First week of flowering

The plants are now growing slower in height and start to develop real flower clusters at all tops. Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants are bushy with lots of budding sites, but plant#2 is now 15 cm taller than plant #1, which is a little more bushy than #2. Both plants are healthy and still enjoy the normal recommended feeding schedule from Advanced Nutrients.

I thought, i posted last week, but it seems like I did not click the save button, but luckily I did not delete last week’s images and videos, so I posted them and with the latest images and videos. I am honoured to be growing this strain, because my first attempt was gorilla glue but I lost it when I moved back to jozi from Limpopo… but here I am getting another stab at it, though it’s not GG#4, strains that contain the gorilla gene seem to be high THC strain, I am expecting couch potatoe high.

Week 7, starting to fatten up and become more aromatic.

I've been pulling the top fan leaves to stop the main stem growing any taller and repotted them into 4L pots, once they show roots I'll flip them over to flower. They've all outgrown their mutations but the apple fritter has a slight varigation.

Almost Chop Day for wa girl MS PURPLE! ✂️ The last few days were all about that flush life runoff nice and low, just how we like it ✅ She’s been an absolute tank from day one, taking almost everything thrown her way like a champ 💪🏾🔥 By the end of the week, most of the buds turned purple, most of her fan leaves faded to yellow, and after a solid trichome check..mostly milky with just the right touch of amber. Nailed it 🎯 And the smell? Straight adorable 🤗😍 I’ve got other strains on their own journeys, posted weekly in my diary feel free to take a little tour Thanks for riding along with me on this one 🙏🏾 Right after this photo session she’s off the a better world Happy growing 💚

Short and stacked with really tight Node Spacing. Packing on the frost already! I decided to go in and take some of the larger Fan leaves off being very selective in which and how many I take .

start flowering

Day 63 - Flowers just starting. They're looking nice. Through the week I've chopped quite a few leaves off her to allow light penetration.

So sad I'll never see this plant again but if i get a baby clone to live this won't be the end

All in all this is an awesome strain for relaxing after my 12 hour shifts,I smoke 1 or 2 hits and im so high all I wanna do is eat and lie down and watch TV until I fall asleep ,I am pretty sure she hermed on me because I had my light intensity too high (90-100% @ 850-1000ppfd at the canopy) but I didn't notice until it was too late so I turned all my lights down to 50% and I am hitting around 6-700 ppfd at the canopy which is perfect and I haven't had any balls show up on any of the new plants in my 8x4 tent check out wicked genetics he is doing some absolutely amazing work with his gp,i95,chem and OG crosses plus many many more ,I have grown and harvested 5 different strains and all have been progressively getting better and better with the more beans I
