Hello growers. Week 3 of 12/12, we have around 25-30 sites developing. She needs around 1.5L of water a day now (run off is giving me 1000ppm) . The soil is testing 6.5 so happy days. I took two clones for the smaller sites that didnt reach canopy level last week and they have been in a dome for a week looking healthy. Hopefully they root this week and I'll move them into some smaller pots to run this girl back in my other tents asap.

👉 The plant was a nice dense bush and due to the funky way it leaned over the Queen cola was not the tallest one. It almost filled up the tent (4x4). Such a dense bush that I was afraid I would have a lot of popcorn. I did a fair amount of small branch removal but the plant was prolific and had lots of secondary branches all over. The lean of the plant helped every branch get as much light as it could. I didn't train the plant to be tilted, I couldn't see the trunk because it was a small solid dome of leaves. Everything looked normal at the top. But when it was time to trim the lower leaves that were sitting on the media I saw the main stalk was bent over. I did nothing to straighten it out because the plant was so stout and I could see it wasnt hurting the plant. I dont do any training on my plants. I just let them grow as they please. My goal is just to help the plant to reach its potential. 👉To harvest I did a close wet trim. I started the harvest by clipping the branch closest to the bottom. For each branch I would trim all the fan leaves and worked m way up to the cola at the end of the branch. The larf was trimmed loosely to get rid of the un-frosted leaves, then tossed on the top rack of the dry net. Each branch had a few nice buds on them and those were weighed then put on the second rack of the dry net. I weighed the wet weight of each rack separately. The nice plump cola at the end of each branch was weighed and put on a hanging clip with a letter and the weight cataloged with that number. I repeated this for each branch till I finished with the Queen cola. I hung each cola on a rack. 👉To dry I used an oscillating 42" fan set to lowest speed. After 8 hours I turned the whole rack to help even out the drying process. After another 12 hrs I put each cola on a clip in its own paper bag. I put the buds on the racks in bags as well. I would occasionally weigh each bud and compare it to its starting weigh and my goal was around 25%. I would record each buds weight and then place in a jar would place in a jar with a hygrometer. I would monitor each jar as often as I could and open or close the jar depending on the humidity until it was stable at 62% rh or less. When at the target rh of 62% I would place a 2way moisture control pack in the jar and then placed the jars on the cool, dark closet. 👉The numbers were very surprising to me. The total for the buds on the second rack was 254g. The cola total was 226. Thats 480g of dense frosty goodness. That doesnt include any larf or trim. I didnt weigh the trim but it was a big pile. I made two kief pucks, one pure trichome wafer, and a full puck of scissor hash!

3/4/2023 Week 3- Day 1 of Veg (Day 31 overall) Water Change out Day 36 Gallons in CalMag = .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal = 151Mil FloraGrow = 3.8Mil/Gal = 137Mil FloraBloom = 3.0Mil/Gal = 108Mil PH DOWN = 1.72Mil/Gal = 62Mil PPM = 546 PH = 5.88 This Grow has definitely been an interesting grow I have been playing with Over or Under since the beginning and it all started with me drowning the plants by adding too much water. I will have to make sure I watch that on all my future grows. I prayerful that this week will get me fully back on track, in my previous grows using my chart, I haven't had any issues during this week, so again prayerful that this is the week I am back on point. 3/5/2023 Week 3- Day 2 of Veg (Day 32 overall) ROOT ROT!!! I guess from when I drowned it I caused a lurking issue that really showed it's head today. The roots were looking not slightly bleached but looking black. I cut out what looked dead and I had to run to the local Hydro shop to pick up some items to see if I can fix it and strengthen the plants. I picked up Mammoth Silica, ORCA, and ROOT Drip. I completely drained the system and started it over today as well. 38 Gallons In Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil Root Drip = 1Mil/Gal = 38Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal = 160Mil FloraGro = 3.8Mil/Gal = 144Mil FloraBloom = 3.0Mil/Gal = 114Mil Orca = .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil PH Down 60 Mil = PH 5.83 I also had to run by Staples I realized the paper I was using wasn't the right brightness and Lbs for the Photon App. What I needed to have 22Lbs 98 Bright. I recently saw a comparison of the different weight papers against a several hundred dollar Apage PPFD detector and with the right paper it was almost exact readings. With that my PPFD 355. 3/6/2023 Week 3- Day 3 of Veg (Day 33 overall) Still alive!! #2 and #3 are still alive and it looks like no further damage to any of the leaves. #2 needed 1 node topped. I will keep monitoring day to day. 3/7/2023 Week 3- Day 3 of Veg (Day 34 overall) Well Both appear to be doing all right. I cut off the offensive leaves from #3 nothing new on shown on the leaves. I actually needed to top 1 node on #2. PH is stable, Temps are stable.. I will be changing out the water and Nutes on Saturday not waiting the 2 weeks. 3/8/2023 Week 3- Day 4 of Veg (Day 35 overall) Well Both appear to be doing all right. I actually needed to top 1 node on #3 and 2 on #2. PH is stable, Temps are stable.. I will be changing out the water and Nutes on Saturday not waiting the 2 weeks. I think the additives are truly making a difference I think I will be adding them to all my grows from here on out. 3/9/2023 Week 3- Day 5 of Veg (Day 36 overall) Both still appear to be on the mend Still some dark brown on a small part of the roots and I don't know if those are just dead but it doesn't look like it is spreading and I see a bunch of new roots forming. Nothing new on the leaves at all. So I think the trio that I added is helping. The plants also seem to be in raised happy position going towards the light. I still plan to change the water on Saturday and go from there. 3/10/2023 Week 3- Day 6 of Veg (Day 37 overall) Moved the light up to 41 1/2" so 3' 4 1/2" away from the top of the Plants. PPFD= 363 Power on my Light =62.5 Water Temp is holding steady=70.3 PPM= 534 PH= 5.92 Tent Temp= 72.5 Humidity= 50-60% I have 2 humidifiers running on INK Bird controllers monitoring it 24/7. I will be changing out the water tomorrow even though I could let it go an extra week but I am still concerned that the Root Rot is clearing up and I don't want to risk it coming back. I want fresh Nutes/ water in the tanks. I topped 2 nodes on #3 I topped 3 Nodes on #2 I also cleaned out some of the bottom third portion that isn't getting much light and not much growth at all. #2: 8 1/2" tall, 18" Wide #3: 7 1/2" Tall, 15" Wide

Apologies for not updating last week. She is the last girl left in the tent so I decided to get some canes and spread her out to the extents of the tent. She is progressing, the hairs are turning but have not gone very dark yet. Still some 'new' white hairs around. I have not even looked at the trichomes yet, the flowers look quite airy at this stage. As there are no other diaries of this strain I'm flying by the seat of my pants here 😂 I'm thinking at least another 3 weeks left..

The plant keeps developing good, slow but she looks very healthy and happy.

12 day dry @ 58-63RH & 60-66F in blacked out dry tent | Glass Jar Cure with Inert gas Early taste test and I actually love this bud, is the best in house strain I've grown so far & the second Platinum cross. Flavorful Funky Sweet Orange cream cereal terps, the texture of the bud is buttery smooth, fluffy and pink/orange color when ground up. Bud has deeply potent effects that is IMO the perfect amount of heavy on the body but still euphoric and creative.. it makes you calm and happy! is checking off so many boxes not even cured, just smelling this batch makes a true connoisseur grin and bag appeal is insane

My Permanent Marker plants are looking good. The short and stocky one has turned a crazy shade of purple. It's really wild looking. The other plant is still putting on new growth, so it'll probably be ready in about two weeks. I can't wait to see how the purple one smokes – should be interesting. The past week has been awesome for drying my plants. The weather's been perfect – nice and dry, with just enough breeze to keep things moving. I finally got around to chopping down those two big plants I've been meaning to trim. They're almost ready, just need a little more time to dry out completely. I can't wait to see how they turned out.

The lady is growing slowly. The balcony location is not the best spot. A few more sun hours, would be better. That's life :D. The Flower time starts. In the main the first buds are visible. LST goes on. A big thanks to bud trainers, your clips working well. Day 27 Photoshooting
