11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -  92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

Buenas a tod@s... Otra semanita más ya en flora, van creciendo muy bien, uniformes, hermosas y fuertes... Ricos aromas ya están formándose los cogollos de a poquito, van tomando forma de a poco, me encantan, se las ve muy bien y aguantan muy bien la temperatura ya q hay veces q hace bastante calor, se toman otras medidas en ese caso pero de momento van muy bien... A seguir creciendo, me está gustando la evolución de este cultivo, y el siguiente, mejor... 💪🏻⚡💀😎 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

###Deutscher Text unten The week started well until I noticed the yellow tips on day 24. I had actually ruled out overfertilization as I hadn't fertilized at all. Apparently, however, the nitrogen is released/absorbed irregularly in pre-fertilized soil. The Floragard Grow Mix is apparently very strong and more suitable for photoperiodic plants. I skipped the planned fertilization with Terra Vega accordingly. However, my girls survived the whole thing well and have now entered the flowering phase. On day 29, I gave them their first fertilization with Terra Flores. I'm currently watering one liter every 2 days. I had problems getting the humidity down. It was actually always over 60% in the grow tent. I had to open the tent and set up a dehumidifier in the room, so I get 40-50 LF, but the room also gets quite warm from the dehumidifier and half the house “smells” of the three ladies. Not ideal, the next grow will go outside in June. I have the feeling that I should defoliate the plants to give the buds more light. But I don't want to stress the plant, especially as it's an automatic. .... So far I've only tried to pinch off the large leaves. Maybe you have some advice for me! ###Deutsch: Die Woche begann gut, bis ich die gelben Spitzen am Tag 24 bemerkte. Eine Überdüngung hatte ich eigentlich ausgeschlossen da ich noch gar nicht gedüngt hatte. Anscheinend wird der Stickstoff in vorgedüngter Erde aber unregelmäßig abgegeben/aufgenommen. Der Floragard Grow Mix ist anscheinend doch sehr scharf und eher was für photperiodische Pflanzen. Die geplante Düngung mit Terra Vega habe ich entsprechend ausgelassen. Meine Mädels haben das ganze aber gut überstanden und sind jetzt in die Blütephase übergegangen. Am Tag 29 gab es dann doch eine erste Düngung mit Terra Flores. Ich gieße im Moment einen Liter alle 2 Tage. Hatte Probleme die Luftfeuchtigkeit runterzubekommen. Im Growzelt waren es eigentlich imm über 60%. Musste das Zelt öffnen und im Raum einen Entfeuchter aufstellen, so komme ich auf 40-50 LF, aber der Raum wird auch ziemlich warm durch den Entfeuchter und das halbe Haus "duftet" nach den drei Damen. Nicht optimal, der nächste Grow geht im Juni nach draußen. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich die Pflanzen entlauben sollte um den Buds mehr Licht zu geben. Ich will aber die Pflanze nicht stressen, vor allem weil es eine Automatic ist....Habe bis jetzt nur versucht die großen Blätte runterzudrücken. Vielleicht habt ihr ja einen Rat für mich!

12.03.2024 – Ein Desaster mit Hoffnung Wo fange ich an, wo höre ich auf…? In diesem Zeitraum bin ich umgezogen und musste mir überlegen, wie ich das Ganze manage, damit die Ernte am Ende optimal wird – was sie leider nicht wurde.😅 Die Pflanze war genau in der Zeit fertig, als ich mit meinem Umzug beschäftigt war und in den Urlaub geflogen bin. Also entschied ich mich dazu, sie vor meiner Abreise zu köpfen und aufzuhängen. Eigentlich wollte ich die gesamte Ernte wieder in DryFerms trocknen lassen, doch da ich mein Zeitmanagement dieses Mal überhaupt nicht im Griff hatte, wurde alles ziemlich kurzfristig. Die Buds mussten ja auch vorher noch getrimmt werden. Also ließ ich das bleiben und hängte sie einfach auf. In meiner neuen Wohnung stellte ich schon mal ein Hygrometer auf, um die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit zu checken – 42 %. Schon ziemlich trocken, aber ich dachte mir nichts weiter dabei. Wird schon irgendwie klappen... Dann flog ich in den Urlaub. Fünf Tage später war ich zurück. Die Ernte hing bereits einen Tag vor meiner Abreise. Als ich mein Zelt öffnete, sah ich das Desaster kommen: Das Hygrometer zeigte eine RLF von nur 32 % an. Die Buds waren staubtrocken. Die ganze Arbeit – für nichts. Besonders ärgerlich, denn von allen drei Pflanzen war diese die vielversprechendste, sowohl was die Terpene als auch den Ertrag betrifft. Ich war kurz davor, alles wegzuschmeißen, weil ich mir das Elend nicht mehr anschauen konnte. Schlussendlich entschied ich mich aber doch dazu, die Ernte so gut es ging zu trimmen. Ein Desaster, das kann ich euch sagen! Die Hälfte aller Buds löste sich in Staub auf – kaum setzte ich die Schere an, zerfielen sie. Am Ende blieben mir doch noch 32 g, allerdings extrem empfindlich. Curing? Keine Chance. Trotzdem wollte ich das Beste herausholen. Also packte ich die Ernte mit zwei Bovedas für sechs Tage in ein Glas – und siehe da: Die Buds nahmen die Feuchtigkeit auf, die sie brauchten! Am Ende hatte ich zumindest halbwegs vernünftiges Material. Jetzt lagert alles in Grove Bags mit einem Boveda und wird genau beobachtet. Ich hoffe, dass daraus noch gutes, rauchbares Material wird! Eins ist sicher: Die Dosidos Auto wird auf jeden Fall noch mal gegrowt – und dann richtig ✊!

The stretch phase is over and the Platinum Zooks is doing fabolous😃 I gave her a heavy haircut (defol & lollipop) @ day 11 of flower. ( she didn't mind ) On day 18 of flower i'm gonna give her, her first Bio-Tabs Compost Tea to give her a little extra push in the back.

First defoliation this week, took off all the lower leaves as they weren't getting much light and there's plenty of green leaves around the buds, looks nice at the base now. I discovered that the ppm runoff was 3500 so I've been pouring the nutrients solution into the top by the litre and letting it drain back to my reservoir, I'm using the flowering res from my other grow, which is 1:2:2 and 1500ppm. She appeared to be growing really slowly with small buds, but I had a look at a two week old photo and I must have lost track of time, as she had only just begun to flower. Feels more like four weeks! So now I'm wondering what more she can do. Stay tuned this could be exciting. I'm excited anyway. Nothing like what I expected. Updated some more shots, I only now just realised that I can hold the plant upside down or at any angle under the lights to get the type of bud shots that are normally impossible.

Purple Punch Auto gibt Vollgas. Krasser Stretch, sehr durstig. Ich habe Verfärbungen in den Blättern entdeckt. Chlorosen? Insgesamt sieht sie weiterhin fit aus. Ich versuche ein sanftes Spülen gegen eine evtl. Versalzung. Später stellt sich heraus, dass das wahrscheinlich geholfen hat.

Casey's Rollex OG has been growing good. This week though she fox tailed on just the tips if a few colas. She isn't close to the light, nor are the temperatures getting too high. I think this was genetic. I have no issue with it. Just she was forming some really nice thick colas. Then a fox tail tip. Shit happens. She is loaded with frost and the smell is a fruity earthy aroma. Hard to pin point exactly. She will likely be harvested in 2 weeks. Starting ph water in less than week for the fading flush. Next update is actually gonna be the harvest. Thank you DutchFem Seeds, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇.

First week went good. They're all looking healthy and reaching for that light, a bit too much actually so I lowered the light a bit. These first days seem to take forever just have to be patient nothing else you can do.. I placed the seeds in 500ml cups with BioBizz Light Mix soil, beforehand I mixed 1 gram of Synergy per 4 liters of soil. These are live microbes called Mycorrhiza which live in symbiotic association with the roots. My idea is to leave them in this container for about 14-21 days until the roots develop correctly then transplant them to their final pot which will be an 11L fabric pot. As the light mix soil comes blended for at least two week of life, no nutrients will be added until after the transplant. Happy Growing!😃 🌱 🌿 🌲
