How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!!

Thank you all my grow buddies here for the love and support!! Hope to see you all, maybe at a future Growdiaries Meet and Greet? Wouldn't that be a lovely idea, per country and a yearly one on a different continent every year? The Growdiaries Conference. Would be a great Hemp growers fair... I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds

Brutal genetic! Just like that BRUTAL. Tons of resin, super strong woody pimey smell, very beautiful strain to grow, beautiful indica leafs, I know that this is one of those indicas that once you smoke that dense smoke you won't be able to get up from the couch, very strong genetic, I'm so fortunate to have this lady in my garden man! Definitely want to grow her again next season and make a big nice bush.peace!✌️🙏❤️🌱👨‍🌾

Grow is going great. The bigger pheno has taken to the bamboo shoots really well & now both plants are growing really well. Coming into preflower without a care in the world. Days 29-32 2nd/2/ Growth is steady. I really haven't done anything differently so there's not much to report on. Keeping the feed ppm steady & I haven't touched anything LST or any defols. I haven't had the need. It'll do a good amount of stretching over the next few days. I haven't switched to bloom feed yet. Maybe in a few days. 3rd/3 Day 33 Growing like nothing in her way. Moving like a pair of mad women. Added 500ml of Master Root/Enzymes/Calmag ph'ed to 6.9, little higher than I'd like but I wasn't wasting a mix for a point out of what I normally give. 5th/2 day 35 Wow, just blow away by the growth in 2 days. DAMN Herbies got it going DOWN. She has one or 2 blemishes. Still learning the nutrients. With these you can only improve the more you use, I'd she'll easily put on another 20-25cm for each plant. One is much bigger. DISCOUNT CODES 20 OFF ZAMNESIA WITH CODE: ZAMMIGROW2024 20% OFF XPERT NUTRIENTS& KANNABIA WITH CODE: GGST 20% off Oringal Sensible Seeds with code:

Week 7 seems to be going fine from my house and then I go to the grow 🤣 well fukc me I’ve ran into few problems let um get abit too dey for their liking the week leading up to Christmas / gave um a good feeding with week 7s nutes and peeled back abit of the fan leaves to get more light around , humidifier broke on us didn’t notice for 2 days so tent was 70 percent humid when gone to check , new humidifier replaced and back on track as I said earlier peeled back a few fan leaves think maybe a few too many plants started showing signs of stress soon after again these are autos and I think it could of stunted if not heavily affected the end product also we noticed about 3 weeks into this grow we had way too many plants in the tent starting to see the effects off that now a lot of nonsense on the lower branches and only really the top Lola’s getting the light and the mass , all the same seed bar 4 plants and very differnt plants all in all , definitely not a strain that’s been mastered about half are tall and spaced out and the others are short and very stacked from my own eye I’d say the shorter and more stacked buds will be the ones bearing more fruit the taller ones look very skinny and airy still

Good strain to grow if you want a pretty good yield and a great smoke. Got really good feedback from some friends about her so I will continue to have her in my grow room.

chegou a quantum board

The ladies are opening up nicely after 48hs of planted (2 days) as normal, the pheno #1 has opened first let's see how they keep developing!

I love Sweet Seeds for the incredible variety of possibilities it offers and F1 or FVs that are, I am practically a sort of autoflowering that you have to send in bloom with the classic passage 18> 12 typical of photoperiodes. What purpose does it serve? Be the lovers of the topping have already understood me, the autoflowering are difficult to work as well as almost all flourish too early for this technique. Send in bloom whenever you want to make topping and have a very fast bloom of 6 weeks. In fact she's the only fast and it's much later than anything so much that I started the booster. Feeding >>> Plagron Alga Bloom 4ml / lt + Green sensation 1 ml / lt

Thanks again for all the love and support Thank you Seedman for providing the seeds and allowing me to be a part of the #Seedsman420GrowOff. It was a great experience which j hope to be a part of again! I plan on doing my content in ny next grow. I have a bunch of ideas for timelapse videos and cool other videos of the grow. Stay tuned and follow for more Highgrade Harvests! Follow me on YouTube and Instagram for more content! @highgradeharvests

I finally had some time to harvest everything, left her for 2 days in the dark in a vase. The smell was so intense in comparison to the painkiller. Since it rained a lot there was some bud rot but I guess that was inevitable. The honey cream still grows strong has no bud rot since the buds seem fluffy enough for a good airflow.

These ladies did'nt stretched much so far in week 2 but that could be due to the light intensity and distance I had it at in week 1 of the stretch period. This strain is really starting to show signs of that Gassy, Sweet, Creamy smelly that I was looking for and so far these ladies have been a breeze to grow.

Started off with two seeds but only one survived

Been an awesome week 😎 Lots of things going on last week.. We started LST, made a few adjustments, gave the ladies a haircut, and further refined the nutes👍 Looking forward to seeing some signs of flowering this week. 🙏 I had believed that I was a man of patience 😅 Stay tuned for pics and videos throughout the week.🙌 Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙
