This week she was a warrior... a few days with wind gusts up to 70 km/h 🙌👏💪

Starting to get a smell and buds are starting to stack. Did one more top dress with the power bloom 2-8-4. Leaves slightly curling so I’ve been adding just a little more nitrogen through the Buddha grow. Other than that, stems starting to sway so she’s gonna get heavy soon. Sugar leaves are smelling identical to fruit loops or fruity pebbles 😊

Third week of visible flowering. Growing out nice cant wait for the buds to grow fat and big. While they grow i give them a bit more nutrient every feeding so now im @ EC 1.6 Im thinking of maybe going up to an EC1.8 if anyone has any tips for this?? Thanks for reading again and untill next time

Day 63. The canopy is coming along nicely for a first Scrog, bit of an anxiety ride watching out for new budsites growing INTO the net every day though, but tucking does the job

So this week I decided to defoliate and lollipop . I wanted to wait like atleast some more days but I got bit worried they get to bushy and crowded and now I still have the same feeling afterwards but it looks a bit better to me . Next week I will add some bloom booster with every watering . I removed my humidifier now and think about some more and heavier defoliation and lollipopping but I will let them relax now . Super silver haze is stacking up insane while orange bud is forming some more pine like buds I’d say at this point . No big smells except the classic weed smell coming from the super silver haze . She’s qualifying for a solo grow for the next time for me like the gorilla cookies from fast buds wich I also liked a lot

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the grand finale of our Lego Ninja Tropical Tangie Run, Week 18—her last dance before the harvest crescendo! As we reflect on this incredible 119-day journey from seed and 69 flowering, the highs have been as glorious as Tangie's frosty peaks. From the euphoria of germination to the playful defoliation dances, each leaf and bud has etched a unique chapter in our green chronicles. Through the hot days and cold nights, my ninja guardians stood sentinel, warding off any potential threats. Together, we crafted a haven for our Tangie, where she flourished under the guidance of Aptus Holland, the backbone of her nutrient symphony. Speaking of symphonies, the aroma she emits is nothing short of a masterpiece—the heady scent of victory and resinous triumph. Despite a few leaves bearing the scars of the "sun", she emerged stronger, like a true ninja warrior. Now 48 hours in complete dark ! An why the 48-hour darkness ritual before the harvest? It's a ninja secret! This technique boosts trichome production, turning our Tangie into a glittering emporium of resinous jewels. The anticipation is palpable as we inch closer to the harvest report—stay tuned! The medicine-sharing moments have been pure bliss. Whether a leafy massage or a trichome-infused conversation, our connection deepened with every passing day. These shared experiences are the heartbeats of this journey. To all my companions on this adventure—from @DutchPassion_Official for the stellar genetics, Aptus Holland for the nutrient magic, and Grow Diaries for providing a canvas to showcase this green saga and to you all—my deepest gratitude. As we bid adieu to Week 18, the next report promises the harvest crescendo, where Tangie transforms from a green empress to a smokable masterpiece. Oh almost forgot <3 <3 <3 for the more curious ones, she drunk 551.5 Liters of water true the all run, from seed to harvest, not bat at all for a single plant, not bad at all <3 <3 <3 Stay lifted, stay green, and remember—every leaf has a story, and our Tangie's tale is nothing short of a legend! #NinjaHarvest #LegoTangieSaga #GrowersJourney #AptusMagic #GreenFinale #119DaysOfGreenMagic #551LitersHydration P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for a sneak peek into the full 119-day time-lapse, for now i am sharing minute the first minute out of 8, i hope that GD allows me to share the complete 8 minutes from seed to harvest one, fingers crossed <3 <3 <3 As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience With true love comes happiness <3 <3 <3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only <3 <3 <3 Growers Love To you All <3 <3 <3 P.S- I must extend my sincerest apologies for the missing video reports. Regrettably, Grow Diaries is still facing some technical issues that are preventing me from uploading them. Rest assured, as soon as the situation is resolved, I'll share those videos to give you an even closer look at this fascinating journey. or in my case apparently GD dont let me do uploads over 100mb with is super small file if you working and editing videos

Been a little busy with transitioning to Cali Baby. Forgive me

Plants reacting well to topping and LST , I’m preparing them to tradition into flower !

First week of flower has ended! 😊 Watering stays the same for now as shes stretching, will slowly transition to bloom ferts over the next couple of waterings. Still 6L, ~6PH, 1ml/L roots fading out right now, 5ml/L Grow. No Calmag as she seems to have recovered nicely with the topdress and one time dosage last week.😎 Only thing i do for now is ongoing minor defoliations. She is shaping up to become quite a BUSH! 😍 See you all in the next year! 👻

Thank you to everyone for following this journey! The results were nuts. Honestly, I would've been happy with 40g dry as this is my first grow. I DEFINITELY did not expect this outcome which is insane. This gives me so much confidence in my future grows and appreciation for the companies whose products I used. So, now to the point - Dry weight - Top class buds - 176g, smaller buds - 32g, larf/leaves/scissor hash - 26g. To sum up - 208g of product you can smoke and 26g that'll go to edibles. First grow, 2x2 tent, 100w light, three-part fertilizer and cal mag - that's insane, especially because I was expecting nothing more than 60g and like I mentioned, I would've been happy with 40g. I even thought my scale was broken or something went wrong, I still can't believe I pulled 208g of bud. It took 117 days from seed to smoke - that's disregarding the cure. Seed to flower in 42 days. Flower to harvest in 61 days. 14 days drying. Thank you to FastBuds, I've sent them an email about the grow with some questions and got a speedy reply with some pointers towards the end of the flower. Also, I don't have anything to compare this grow with but I had 0 issues with pests which I was really happy about. I didn't have to spray anything on the plants, didn't have a single bug inside the tent. They mention on the website that NL is a very resilient strain so that might've been because of this specific strain. Spiderfarmer light did amazing too - 208g of bud from 100w light!. General Hydroponics did way better than I expected - there's so many companies with multiple bottles of nutrients that expect you to spend ridiculous amounts of money on their products while I got crazy results with just 3 basic bottles. Cal and Mag by Canna worked with no complaints. Takeaways - seems like the runoff pH doesn't matter in coco - I could be wrong but I struggled with coco pH from the very beginning. Regardless, the outcome speaks for itself. Maybe the harvest would've been even better with an optimal pH but in this particular grow, I don't think it mattered much. Before starting this grow I've done A LOT of research and it looks like it most definitely paid off! I was panicking at first because of the slow growth. The plant also had some leaf deformities and the color wasn't as green as I've expected it to be. It was stressful at first, I think especially because I was constantly comparing my grow to someone else's. This specific LST method where I kept rotating the main stem clockwise every day or two paid off as well. The canopy was relatively even and new tops grew crazy fast. The only thing left to do is to cure the bud. I had two 1.5L containers ready for cure/storing since I didn't expect to pull much but had to go acquire a few more "big boys" to fit all the product in, which is a good problem to have. I don't think that I'll be updating the cure here but the plan is to burp 2x/day for 15-30min each time for the first week and 1x/day for 15-30min the second week. After the first couple of weeks I won't be timing the burps. As of now, I've placed boveda 62% packs inside the containers to maintain a RH of at least 58% in the jars. About the Northern Lights strain - the smell hasn't fully returned yet post trim, but it smells like sweet fruits with a hint of black pepper. You can still smell a bit of pine/grass but I think that'll be gone after the cure. Buds are covered with trichomes, they shine like diamonds when you take a better look. Also, the buds look a little airy but are still really dense when pressed. The smoke - It's a tasty, relaxing high. I get why people describe it as night time smoke but for me personally, it grounds me a bit and I can enjoy it anytime. Also, it burns white ash :)) P.S. This is a lengthy diary but I hope that people can learn some stuff from my notes shall they read them! Thanks to everyone that followed the journey, showed support or just browsed through. Happy Growing everyone!

(EN) Rainy and cloudy weather continues, but temperatures are rising. On day 30, I spray a solution of nettle manure at 200ml/L of water on the leaves and stems of plants in order to remove and kill potential parasites (red spiders, mealybugs) and also prevent certain diseases such as late blight. I think I repeat this treatment every 2 weeks. Watering with clear water on the same day (approximately 600mL per plant). I prepare the soil to transplant plants into open ground soon, with 20L of universal soil, 20L of surrounding soil and 1L of perlite. (CAN) Le temps pluvieux et nuageux continue, mais les températures remontent. Le jour 30, je pulvérise une solution de purin d’orties à 200mL/L d’eau sur les feuilles et les tiges des plants afin d’éloigner et de tuer les potentiels parasites (araignées rouges, cochenilles) et également prévenir certaines maladies comme le mildiou. Je pense répéter ce traitement toutes les 2 semaines. Arrosage à l’eau clair ce même jour (environ 600mL par plant). Je prépare le sol pour transplanter prochainement les plants en pleine terre, avec 20L de terreau universel, 20L de terre environnante et 1L de perlite.

Ultima settimana di vegetativa, due mesi totali

Wachsen und reifen ganz gut, überlege bereits eine zu cutten aber denke warte noch ne Woche oder so Good Things Take time ;) Ansonsten Terps sind jut

Day 71, 19.06.2024 As the new and possibly last week of blooming arrives I am looking at two ladies, that behaved quite well during the last weeks. They grew close and it will be a shame to cut them down in the end. However, what must be done, must be done right? Today there will be the second to last nutrition intake for them. I decided to cut the BioBizz Grow and CalMag completely so they will receive 600ml of 4/4ml (Bloom/TopMax) later today. Also today I saw the first amber trichomes through my pocket microscope. But not enough yet - maybe I will stop feeding nutes after todays "last supper" and start flushing... Day 72, 20.06.2024 No action today. Day 73, 21.06.2024 600ml of water each - no nutes. I think it might be the big finale. I am thinking about harvest next and watching a lot of YouTube about that topic 😂 Day 74, 22.06.2024 No action on the plants but to give them a check up. I finally see the first amber trichomes on both of the plants, woohoo 🙌 Removed 3-5 fan leafs that were starting to get yellow. Time to make up a plan for the harvest I guess! Currently the plan is - to do harvest in 4 days from today in the evening (Wednesday, 26.06. ~1700). - I stop watering immediately - no more soup for you! Maybe I did not do flushing long enough, but my hope is that using organic fertilizer eases the effects - I will not switch off the lights on Monday at 1100 (like usual). Instead I will keep it on until 1700 - then switch them off completely. - 48h later on Wednesday I will harvest I do all this to inflict stress to the ladies. Stress by low water, stress by longer light followed by stress due to no light at all. All this will hopefully lead the plants to 1. produce more trichomes as a defensive reaction and build up bud mass 2. urges the plant to process as much chlorophyll as possible which leads to better taste in the end So much for the plan. Let's see how this turns out. Day 75, 23.06.2024 The good thing about not watering anymore: No action today. But as today would mark the "point of no return" in a way I will double or even triple check for the trichomes. If they are ready, I will commence the plan of not watering and longer lighting tomorrow. If there is doubt I will shift the plan day by day. Aaand here it is: Doubt! After checking the trichomes again I found too much of them clear. I decided to not rush things and thus postpone the harvest for at least 3 days. So today there will be a (late) flush and we will take it from there. Day 76, 24.06.2024 No real action today but to check in trichomes. Erika II has a good number of amber trichomes while Erika I still has too mich clear ones. It's a dilemma. But I will hold on to the plan for now which says: Harvest will be on the weekend (friday presumably)! Day 77, 25.06.2024 Today we reached 30°C outside and it is (finally) getting summer here in germany. This resulted in 28°C inside the tent & it felt good to give the ladies some craved water: ~1000ml went in the pots before the drain started. This was definetly the last drink. Tomorrow the last light cycle will start. Today is tuesday. The plan for harvest is as follows: Wednesday: No action. Thursday: Lights out at 1100. They stay off until the end. Friday: Harvest will begin at around 16:30 after work. Both plants will be harvested & hung up for drying. I am thinking about doing one plant using wet-tim and one plant using dry-trim techniques, just to have the comparison right after the first grow. I guess I need to make up my mind about that...

7 Blütewoche: So liebe Grow Gemeinde wir sind jetzt in der 7 Blütewoche angelangt. Leider musste ich bei 2 von 4 Pflanzen einen Mangan oder Magnesium Magel feststellen, 2 kann ich eigentlich schon fast ausschließen da ich mir Informationen eingeholt habe und diese dafür sprechen dass es ein Mangan Mangel ist der nicht oft bei Cannabis Pflanzen vorkommt. Leider ist mein Ph Messgerät kaputt, und somit kann ich denn ph wert leider nicht ermitteln. Somit weiß ich nicht ob eine Nährstoff Sperre vorliegt die dafür verantwortlich ist das meine beiden Ladys kurz vor dem Ziel sowas erleiden müssen. Ansonsten geht’s denn anderen beiden Pflänzchen gut sie wachsen prächtig und Mann kann sehen wie die Buds an Volumen zunehmen. Ich hoffe das ich innerhalb 1 Woche das Problem in den Griff bekomme damit die anderen beiden auch noch an Volumen zunehmen können da Mangan für das Wachstum verantwortlich ist. Danke für euer Interesse und das ihr bis hier hin gelesen habt, ich werde mich wieder melden wenn sich was ändern sollte. P.S Ich habe kurz mit dem Gedanken gespielt die beiden Ladys mit den Mangelerscheinungen früher zu fällen aber von diesen Gedanken bin ich wieder ab. Ich habe noch 14 Steckis von allen 4 Ladys die warten in die Blüte geschickt zu werden. Ich wünsche allen fette Buds und gutes Wachstum.

So this was a simple going grow!!! It’s strange how the hot so big under the light! I had one blue cheese under the same light and tent and it was way smaller!! Anyway 1 of these has come out perfect very happy the other two I’m not to sure the hairs were still pointing up but I really don’t have the time to have them going another week there already over the time they was supposed to be done but yeah I’d say out of 10 I’d rate this blue cheese growing experience a 6 out of 10 hopefully this improves when it’s dry!!!

Quite busy due to work! Will keep you guys updated.

Очень интересный путь к урожаю, я доволен результатом и эффектом от урожая! Жадный король Afgooey на всём пути вёл себя жадно - поедал удобрения, пил воду, заполнял пространство, требовал внимания и хотел большего, в итоге он пожадничал и с выходом, но каждый его грамм стоит того, чтоб заморочиться с ним! Сильная генетика растения показала себя с лучшей стороны, благодарен всей команде Strain Hunters за возможность выращивать такие растения и всей команде Green House Seeds за оказываемую помощь в продвижении таких сортов! 👏 Отдельное спасибо команде GD за возможность общаться и обмениваться информацией с другими гроверами, за конкурсы и продвижение идеи фермерства! 👏 Очень благодарен всем кто читал мой дневник и меня поддерживал!👏 Хоть урожай и не такой большой как я мечтал, но это тоже очень хорошо - 188 грамм соцветий и 6 грамм кифа. 😇 👋
