27 Oct / 64 days 12-12 / 93 days from cask. Here comes the "X"arvest day for the Coffee Creamer x 50 Dragons baby, everyone says harvest is a holiday and I'm sad and nervous about the process, but here I am all done and now it's like "the holiday comes to us too″ ^^ Yesterday, on the last day of the flush, the output numbers were 155ppm / 6.2 pH, so I consider the flush a success. As soon as I cut the scrogg net the baby fell to the sides, greeeease, final weight will definitely write after drying. About 10-14 days, as I dry the branches whole to retain a greater number of terpenes, I do the trimming before putting the cones in tins. ___________________________________ So I took the liberty of writing down the results ahaha As I get high all the time, those who have gotten high agree with me that there is a noticeable effect in the form of 'changes in the sense of time', there are specific lapses in time, and I sleep a lot, 14-15 hours a day. In the end I got 180g of selected, cut by American wills stone sheesh, a big jar of cut and popcorn (how much I didn't count) for further extraction of the isik (I'll do it today-tomorrow). In the end, I'm definitely happy with the result, as Fruit Gum x The Lemon Tree will definitely give more than 50g, which means I got more than 1k1 according to the grams per watt system. I'm on the sober time, already 28 days of cleanliness and peace of mind, but on Friday the picking is coming to an end and I've already krapalnul, dried and thrown the lowest and you know what I tell you? The smell is just unreal, even after drying it doesn't smell like freshly cut haulm, it smells like Twix and I'm not exaggerating, it's caramel biscuit chocolate.

Day 12 pushing hard like the last 4 grows. I’m very impressed so far. Maybe a little calcium that’s about it

Week 14, Week 14 was the last week before Harvest/Havrest! I flushed the plant and trimmed her a bit before harvest. I hope you all enjoy the videos and the pics!

The third week is over the stress of repotting is well absorbed and growth is in full swing. Light Power: 50% Day 16 Photoshooting

Pheew, 2 different results going on, very interesting to see very different results. The sickly yellow plant(centre) looks sick i am assuming many factors are involved. I have listed out the potential error which caused the plant to yellow much faster compare to the other healthy purple punch. Here is my ADHD mind self figuring out😄. 1) Light stretch during seedling-2weeks. Energy to form strong branches, i guessed this because this plant released trichomes before the other. Way too fast. 2) PH pen- Time to change to a new one, PH fluctuations could also be another reason. 3) Top dressed bat guano too much- they are highly soluble i read, so the plant yellowed and burnt off crispy. The other purple punch is looking solid with so many white pistils coming out. This plant did not yellow as fast as the other( centre plant). I will be targetting to harvest in 5 weeks time maybe more depending on the trichomes. Cant wait to see this fully organic grow.

continues LST some defoliation, mainly lower leaves Don’t mind the ones in the back, they haven’t been touched.

8/4 Already 4 days passed since the beginning of the week and the Runtz grow so much, she's becoming really tall as you can see, the top bud it's increasing yield and growing new pistils every day, the lower branches looks a bit late flowering, from this week I'm gonna add also extra 200w led and some extra nut

She is growing great no issues that I can say except I should have thrown her into a bigger pot..She loves being trained and has been bent over without any topping really and the bud sites are filling up nicely .. I have been giving her nutrients and she has loved them a 100% organic blend . The videos show before the hard bending and trimming was done but she will look great next week ..Getting a new tent soon and will be vegging the girl for a few more weeks till the 12/12 flip ...cheers family

12/10 Week 11 Wow last week on Layla so bread and water hold the carbs for her now on. Doubt if Maggie will be finished but may be forced to move her on anyway, we will see. I would hate that Gotta decide soon on feeding her as they will need water tomorrow 12/11 Its decided Maggie will be allowed to finish off and I will find a way to keep em all happy. Something special may be happening there, want to see it. Layla though is about done just some ripening and then harvest. one gal each @6.4, Layla just water, Maggie got the PK boost 12/ml but remember there is a good bit of Dr. Earth still in the pot so cant really starve em. Update Ok here is the plan. Another grow in veg has yet to get into flower which is great though its due just any day, feeding it some bloom nuets in the mix to keep it in veg... we hope. But when it goes into flowering stretch at least one needs to rotate into the flower tent so harvest Layla, one may remain in the small tent till Maggie goes. Best I can do 12/13 Some camera time with lights on just getting used to it. Canopy looks great guys considering whats in there LOL 12/14 Just pics and we have decided to let these go as long as they want as the other grow is happy where it is for now. After looking close there are still some clear tricones on both so waiting is it 12/16 Maggie's buds have gotten so heavy I had to make a quick trellis out of 3 ft stakes and twine to support them and give the rest of the tent room. Pics above She has come a long way from a sick little plant err guys? Seriously thinking of dropping Brandy from the grow totals, she was just so stunted just one of Laylas buds is going to out produce her.

It has been another amazing week of the plants growing. I have been watching as the Fruity Freak leaves become progressively more fern-like, and ornamental as a result! Based on my Banizzle grows, I knew I needed to understand plant nutrients in a more meaningful way if I wanted these plants to thrive. So, I decided to get a soil test (see Ref. 1 below on how to perform a test) to understand what nutrients my plants needed. The report I received advised that I needed to add 200 lbs/acre of nitrogen, 150 lbs/acre of phosphorus, and 190 lbs/acre of potassium (see picture labeled Pic.1 (FYI you can't see these images unless you login to growdiaries)). I then researched what to do with my results (Ref. 2 helped), and I figured out that my nutrient needs of 200-150-190 fall close to a 2-1-2 ratio. I then looked at different types of organic fertilizers (see Ref. 3 and Ref. 4) and considered that I already had a 3-10-5 fertilizer (Vermibloom) on hand. I discovered Dr Earth’s Alfalfa Meal is 2-1-2 and includes beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae (to promote healthy plant growth and disease resistance). However, I knew I would be low on nitrogen if I only used those two fertilizers. Therefore, I decided to buy some blood meal (12-0-0). I also liked that blood meal is more fast acting while the other two are more moderate. I hunted around for a solid fertilizer calculator and found an amazing tool from the University of Georgia Extension (Ref. 5). I entered all three fertilizers into the calculator, and it kicked out the exact amount of each fertilizer I needed to apply to 1 square foot (see Pic. 2). As I am using 10-gallon fabric pots (that can hold 1.5 cubic feet, but I put stone on the bottom and there’s space left at the top) I decided to use the one square foot application rate as I can always add more later, but I can’t take it away. Not only did I want to understand the nutrients I needed, but I also wanted to understand the structure of the soil (as it was not included in my test results). North Dakota State University has a nice page that discusses this (Ref. 6), and I performed a soil ribbon test (see Video 1) based on this information. I determined my soil to be medium textured (which is great), but I have seen occasional water pooling on the surface, suggesting that it may be more of a medium-fine. This means adding peat moss, coco coir, or other amendments might improve drainage (and plant hydration) and allow for roots to grow more easily. In the long run, I plan to use compost to enhance the soil structure and nutrients. I filled the bottom of my 10-gallon fabric pots with a ½” of pea stone to allow for drainage (Pic. 3). I then partially filled two 5-gallon buckets with topsoil from near where I will plant (but not in an area the roots will reach). I used a digital scale to measure the amount of fertilizers recommended by the calculator (Pic. 4, 5, and 6) and added it to one of the 5-gallon buckets (see Pic. 7). I mixed the fertilizers into the soil as evenly as possible (Pic. 8 and 9). I then poured a two-inch layer of non-fertilized soil, then peat moss, and then fertilized soil (in a roughly 2:1:1 ratio) and blended them together. I repeated this until the pot was full (getting additional soil as needed), and then I repeated the process for the other three pots. I set the filled fabric pots in my garage (Pic. 10) for two days to allow any upset bugs to flee into my garage instead of my house. I then moved the pots (wrapping them in a contractor garbage bag to prevent making a mess) into the room with the grow light. I placed a board on top of the fabric pots to insulate the plants (in their smaller pots) from the cold soil (Pic. 11). Once the soil in the fabric pots reaches room temperature, I will transplant. (Ref. 1) This video shows the method I used to take a soil sample. I didn’t have a field to test, so I took four samples from the area where I will eventually plant outdoors and blended them together. I then mailed my soil sample off to the lab, and about a week later, I received an email with a PDF of my results (included with my pictures this week). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AwxmFxBwg&t=8s (Ref. 2) This video from the University of Minnesota Extension (many universities have agriculture extensions that can assist you with soil testing and growing information for your area) discusses what to do with your soil testing results: https://youtu.be/HYrkcfE62Pg (Ref. 3) This is a nice article that discusses organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.grow-it-organically.com/npk-fertilizer.html (Ref. 4) This article lists the NPK values of many organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.epicgardening.com/organic-fertilizers/ (Ref. 5) Many websites tout a fertilizer calculator…but this one is hands down the best I have found. If you scroll down to the bottom, you can enter any fertilizer type you want (and the cost, if you want). It will give you the exact blend of multiple fertilizers to solve your nutrient deficiencies (I included a snapshot of the solution I used in my pictures). https://aesl.ces.uga.edu/soil/fertcalc/ (Ref. 6) This is an excellent article that discusses how to evaluate your soil: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/publications/evaluating-preparing-and-amending-lawn-and-garden-soil

No han habido muchos cambios en cuanto a la nutricion. Añadimos un poco de Recharge, agua y estare añadiendo un producto para engordar las flores. Los mantengo al tanto, buenos humos!

So I finally have time to finish this review. The buds cured now for over a month and I consumed them a lot because I simply don't want to smoke something else. The details are in the strain review but to make it short: 10/10 high, 9/10 taste, 0/10 grow (she hermed).

Hello guys! This week was amazing for my girls & Me! :D 4 of them are showing a great sign of flowering! After I defoliated all and tried main Lining for the first time! I didn’t expect such a great results! They are already healing and I should say: I’m falling in love with growing!! It’s like my thing! After hours and hours reading and searching! When i see them happy like this, feels like all of my efforts are paying off. I just wish they weren’t autos! A newbe grower totally can handle an original femmenized seed! I don’t know why everyone said go for autos for tour firat grow!! I’m practicing most of the trainings suitable for autos till i get real stuff!! Soon! I also got that powerful AC, i was hesitating to buy!! it’s pretty amazing! Now I can grow my pineapple Express at thr best temp 25 degrees with 2200w! I just hope i dont get too suprise when i see the Bill😅
