Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

This past week was a busy one. Put a lot of work into the grow space and prepping them to switch. Moved over to the 5x5 tent and set up the netting. Went through a lot of defoliating spread out through the week to make sure it went as stress free for the plants as possible and then lollipopped the plant before changing over to Flower (remember this is my first time growing so didn’t want to overdue it). Me and the girl spent some time and Cleaned out the tent completely and finally got around to cleaning up some of the wiring throughout. I flushed all the plants with RO water (only pH) and then 3 days later i mixed in and topped all pots with fresh soil mix (FFOH, worm castings, and perlite). Drained and cleaned all pots and the tank, added in new water with a mix of cal mag, big grow, and tiger bloom (half amounts of everything) with PPM just over 1000. Switched over to flower just before this post so fingers crossed and hoping the next few weeks go smooth 🤞🏽 **Side Note** - Got a steal on some tents/lighting so decided to get things setup for my next grow. Got a handful of seeds I’ve had my eyes on and getting ready to order some more equipment and even a Centurion Hybrid Trimmer. So be on the lookout for my future grows!

Harvest time for Divine storm. Not much to say about this strain, except this is my last time growing it. July 11 update, 84 grams dry weight. Same taste and smell as before, a wine taste with a bit of fruit.

10.01.26 Einen guten Abend ✌️ Da bin ich wieder mit der White Noise von @paradiseseeds . Das Trocknen ist vorbei jetzt wird Sie ausgehärtet im Glas. Nass waren es 185g nach dem Trocknen 14 Tage im Karton blieben mir an reinen Buds schöne 65g. Die Buds sind sehr sehr Kompakt voll mit Tricomes sie riechen sehr Süßlich nach kiefer direkt gefolgt von Pfeffer was für die White Window spricht. Das leicht Minzige nach Beeren stamm wohl von der Thin Mint. Ein Rauch bericht kann ich euch leider noch nicht geben. Da ich Sie erst in wenigen Wochen genießen werde. Aber das was ich rieche macht mich freudig auf die erste verköstigung. Danke an Paradise Seeds für diesen feinen Strain. Euch danke ich das ihr die Reise der White Noise gefolgt seit ,es wird ein neuen Strain meines Lieblings Züchter geben das steht feste. Bleibt dran ihr werdet es mit bekommen, wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende stay high Bleibt gesund. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 💯🔥 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 10.01.26 Good evening ✌️ Here I am again with White Noise from Paradise Seeds. The drying process is complete, and now it is curing in a jar. Wet, it weighed 185g, and after drying for 14 days in a box, I was left with a nice 65g of pure buds. The buds are very compact and full of trichomes. They smell very sweet, like pine, followed immediately by pepper, which is typical of White Window. The slight minty, berry scent probably comes from the Thin Mint. Unfortunately, I can't give you a smoking report yet, as I won't be enjoying it for a few weeks. But what I smell makes me look forward to the first tasting. Thanks to @paradiseseeds for this fine strain. Thank you for following the journey of White Noise. There will be a new strain from my favorite breeder, that's for sure. Stay tuned, you'll find out about it. Have a great weekend, stay high, and stay healthy. May all your ladies grow healthy and magnificent and provide you with tasty stuff 💯🔥

Couldn't help but take lots of photos this week.. Nuggets are really starting to fill out and the white hairs are beginning to brown. Lots of new trichomes without heads and a few have turned milky. Thought this would be done by now and I really need the space for my other girl thats currently stretching due to lack of light. Considering that and also not wanting to harvest prematurely, I'm trying to decide when to start the 7-14 day flushing period, any advice would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks for stopping by 😎

99 Days but the Bitch aint done. Mr. Pipi likes his new Camera. Pictures gettin better. Plant also is gettin gooder. Strawberry Flavours definetly inda building. Mr. Pipi does not flip the plant off, its just for size comparison side-by-side. No Plants were harmed (not yet) and no Pipi was used during this documentation. Wild-Strawberry Update: Mr. Pipi achieved to convince 2 friends to agree that they smell wild strawberries . yippeeee

Sticky sticky and smelly smelly, can't say much more. Buds are densing up quite nicely and theres a lot o resin production. I always find the strain names quite dumb, but this actually has hints of coke in it's smell. Very sweet and fresh. I raised the EC to 0.95 considering my water was on 0.25, so plus 0.7 of nutrients and the light is at 100%, putting roughly 750 ppf average. See you guys next week and good grows.

Scrog baby Test läuft gut. Die Marshydro hat 10 Watt mehr deshalb wird sie aber nicht gedimmt. Da die SANlight bessere Ausleuchtungen haben für die Pflanzen.

Day 36 Done nothing just let them grow and trimmed a few leaves Day 37 - watered them with feeding. Decreased the amount by 25% except the base nutes. Added 12ml CalMag on 4L water by request of the community. If leaves curl down more, I will consider a flush. Day 38 No feed. Color changed from the middleone overnight, I think that’s a good sign. Maybe someone can comment on that 💪🏽. For me it looks very good, I know a few leaves show signs of nutrient burn but I decreased already and no new signs appeared Day 39 No feed until tomorrow. Day 40 Fed them with very low amount of fertilizer. I aimed for a ppm of 1000 but I went a bit higher until I have osmosis water . Runoff ppm was 2000, but I have to say I am measuring ppm since this week and will fix this problem Day 42 No feed

Blütewoche 3 und die Macht scheint mit den Mädels zu sein. Es wirkt so als würde der Strech schwächer ausfallen als gedacht. Das Netz ist aber gefüllt und somit alles in bester Ordnung. Denke ich 😅 Einzelne Triebe wurde im Netz angepasst. Unterhalb wurde die Pflanze ausgelichtet und von alten Sonnensegeln befreit. Auch oberhalb habe ich einige Blätter entfernt um die Ausleuchtung der Nebentriebe zu verbessern. Bis jetzt habe ich jeden Tag ein bis zweimal besprüht. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit diesen Winter ist dann doch etwas mau. Langsam denke ich das hier wird richtig gut 👍 Möge der Saft mit uns sein 😉

420Fastbuds FBT2304 Week 9 Hello everyone from far and wide on this beautiful planet. Weekly update for these twins. Both seem to be in mid flower on cruise control with no big issues present. I'll most likely stop feeding nutes this week and just go with ph'd water after that till harvest. All the colas on both are super chunky so it'll be exciting to see how the next week or two turn out. All in all Happy Growing

Welcome to week 8! She’s still looking great and healthy. It seems that she’s still making some height but slowly also the buds getting bigger and bigger from day to day. At end of week 8 I probably have to adjust some branches to give them more light disposal and maybe doing some light defoliation. At the mid of week 8 I can see that the buds gaining weight. More and more orange pistils are showing up and she starts to smell just a bit. I’m still very happy with this strain and also with the performance of the growbox. Can’t wait to see how she’s producing nice, dense and thick buds

We moved on to the second week. The root has already reached the end of the pot. I am amazed by the root development. I did not expect such a big root and I think it could have been transplanted a little earlier. On the twelfth day, he moved to a 22.7 L pot.

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great week. The Glueberry OG Auto is in week 9 and she is just now starting to stack some buds. I am still feeding Silica, Cal Mag, and Veg Nutes, as well as some PK booster. I am done with training and only defoliate a leaf or two here or there it is blocking too much light from a flower site but pretty much I am just letting her do her thing. I currently have the Spectrum X running at 100% power and have upped the time on the UV/IR bars to 90 minutes just prior to lights off. I am super happy with this light so far, she puts out impressive PAR, and runs fairly cool. The only thing I would change is to have individual timers for the different spectrums. Not much to do this week other than keep the reservoir full and in the correct PH range. The tomatoes outside are absolutely loving the runoff from these autos, as that is all they have had to drink since they were about 3 weeks old. Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled
