Hey now! So after 8 days of drying, and 6 days of curing, I just tried the Sour Diesel in a glass water pipe, and she is freaking amazing. She burns nice and slow, with thick clouds of smoke, and tastes exactly like she should, like a sour/citrus/fuel with a very nice aftertaste. I ended up with less than 20% of wet weight, but I am so ecstatic with the quality, I could freaking care less! I have a fantasy football draft on Saturday night, and I can't wait for the rest of my league to sample her! I had so much fun with this grow, from constructing the watering/draining system, to learning more about photography and video, to meeting everyone in this community, and finally to smoking Nugs that I actually grew! Until next time, be safe everyone, and Blaze On!!!

Poda agresiva

Please tell something with me for my plants is that good grow remp? Its 18 days old is that small ?

Day 22: First day after transplanted Day 23: Added 1 gallon water at pH 7 Day 24: No picture Day 25: Looking healthy Day 26: Humidity is good. I need to check on that temperature. 3 inches. Day 27: Nothing spectacular to report. Beginning to ponder training. Day 28: Still going.

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

10/6 Didn't feed enough to get any runoff this time. I'm pretty sure they are ok for now, next time I'll start with water test the runoff and feed. Had to move the lights up a bit and I'm losing leaves. That is my fault for not being proactive. But it could be the strain. Fed them a bit stronger this time I put EC was 1.2 and pH was 6.3. this all started out per 1gal but the EC was 1.4 so I cut it with another 1l2 gallon. That final EC is what matters anyway. I will discontinue the grow big after this week. Tiger bloom should have enough. We only have about 3 weeks left. So the next feeding will be the last big one, then I'll lower it, then just water. I'll feed up to the last week so they can really fatten up on those last 2 weeks. I'll let them sit in the dark for 2 days before I chop. In the same tent I'll dry them in. So that means I'll need add a scrubber to that tent so they don't stink up the neighborhood. Good thing I think about that already. I have a little 2x3x3 tent I can dry them in. 10/8 I didn't have time to do a water push and feed so I just gave each 2cups of plain water to get em through till the next day. 10/9 I pushed about 2700ml through each slowly to generate runoff. Vermiculite is not your friend with this type growing, but I have finally totally reworked the soil into an inert substrate that only holds the roots. All organic material and most likely any trave of the herd is all but gone. Again, you need to go back to the beginning to learn how I fucked all that up and made a switch from living to basic hydro in the first few weeks. It had to be done due to the use of unprocessed soil. I knew better but thought the soil was older. Anyhow... I had suspected my ex was high because I've not been able to produce runoff. In this soil mix it only starts once you approach the 3 liter mark so after 2 light feedings and due to high EC before I wanted to push some water through for peace of mind and then feed. Results: BBA EC: 1.6, pH: 6.6 BCA EC: 1.2 pH: 6.6 The BBa was always a bit higher but these #'s are exactly what I wanted. I didn't feed yet. I'm going to let them dry for 2 days and then I'll feed. I believe that when the substrate is soaked it dilutes the nutrient solution and I want to stop any chance of channeling. I'll give each about 1200 to 1800ml of solution @ EC 1.2 -1.4 probably the last good feeding. It's light still but I'm still treading lightly with the autos. 10/10 Still too wet to feed, they should be good tomorrow. 10/11 Fed each about 2400ml : Tiger bloom: 12.5ml/gal Calmag: 3ml/gal EC: 1.4, pH: 6.3 no runoff. Still having to use the AC even though it's in the 50s and 60s out. It's working ok now. The issue is the damn dehumidifier. Really heats up the damn room. I feel like it will still work even if I exhoust all that hot air into another room. It's still pulling moisture out of the air, so.... I have to try it. It literally keeps that little room in the mid to upper 70's all by itself.

8/12 (Day 56) - Well it’s a week and things are looking ok I suppose. Everything is staying in check and I’m feeding full strength and the plants seem to be handling it well. Drinking 4-5 gallons a day. I think the stretch is pretty much done so hopefully we can get some big juicy nugs to develop. These ladies are sooooo stick. I defoliate and 10 seconds later it’s like my hand is covered in stick glue, and the smell…sooo sweet. Like a tropical candy. Going to be doing probably one last big defoliation on these girls in the next day or two. I’m always plucking here and there to be honest. But seems to be ok. Thanks for looking! 8/13 (Day 57)- Did some very light defoliation on three of the plants, then the back right plant I ended up removing a ton of the lower growths and leaves. It needed it pretty bad I feel. She is a little behind the other plants but looking good none the less. Just going to continue to monitor and feed regulary. 8/14 (Day 58)- Started the morning with the flush and change of water and nutrients. Everything is looking good, going to leave them alone for a few days let the one plant recover and grow. All conditions are steady and constant. 8/15 (Day 59)- Just continuing to monitor and check for issues, feeding around a gallon or more every 4-5 hours. I am noticing more and more frosty goodness as the girls continue to develop! As always tips and recommendations welcomed and appreciated.

Week three flower

All looking good😁 Also made improvements to my room

I made this cross on my last grow I hope it turns out how I hope very weak seeds I wander if that has something todo with not drying them very

It's now over the end of week 13. These pictures are about 2 days past a week. So I will upload next step in about 5 days. Things are smelling great and nugs are getting dense. Colors are coming in purples on the fade, looks nice. Trichomes are milky on most but still some clear, not much amber. Will be waiting likely another week or 2 even to see what happens. So far these have been champs, honestly been a pleasure to work with. Though I think the plants might not agree! Even with the mishaps we got some good bud going and some great crystal coverage. Excited to see the drying and product. Cheers everyone, happy growing.

Esta planta tiene olor a gasolina y cola de zapatero, un olor muy peculiar, sus flores son más compactas con cálices pequeños y una resina pegajosa

SUNDAY 5/19: I accidentally left my UV timer in the "ON" position all night and half of the next day...fearing sudden death, I have moved everybody that was almost ready into the dark tent, including the two Candesias that had already been flushed twice, and will start harvesting them tomorrow..maximum UVB stress for about 20 hours...if it works out that they are even more potent than expected without turning brown overnight, I'll claim it was "intentional," and purport it as an "advanced technique" 😉 MONDAY: The big one (Candesia #2) still looks fine after the mega-UVB incident, so she's still sitting in the dark tent. I flipped on the green light and went into the tent for a sniff test on everybody. #2 smells more like an Amnesia than a Candy Cane. Ima kill her tomorrow and let her hang dry. The small one with polyploidy (Candesia #1) in the dark tent, also looked fine, but to keep my workload smaller tomorrow, I went ahead and harvested her today. She smells and looks more Amnesia. She was wet-trimmed and is in a drying basket. The other two (and the mystery plant) are still in the big tent under lights. I will probably start flushing them tomorrow..but maybe they will just get watered..kinda slow to cloudy all the way up. TUESDAY: I harvested Candesia #2 today and hung her to dry in the dark tent. She got more of the Candy Cane genetics, but her aroma is special. Candesia #3 got flushed for the first time today and moved directly below the UVB. I lowered the lights by several inches and increased the lights to 20/4 for their last week in the "sunshine." WEDNESDAY: I took a few photos today of the living after trimming a few harvested plants. The high temp in the tent is now just 82f, and it drops to 68-70f while it's dark I added some 450nm blue panels to try and "winterize" the environment a little more. Candesia #3 has the aroma of Candy Cane, but is really kind of a unique color palette,..not like the Amnesia or Candy Cane parents. The mystery plant is definitely a Candesia.. the aroma and bud color/shape is unmistakably that of her Amnesia Auto mother. She's Candesia #4..also known as "Pipsqueak", due to her diminutive stature. THURSDAY: Today I realized that a plant I thought was a Candy Cane is actually a Candesia! She's now known as Candesia #5...she's the one that I had to remove the main stalk which had already FIM quadrupled..butchered...sad day. She's fattened up a little bit, but is still kinda puny. However, she's more resinous than any of the other 4.👍 FRIDAY: I'd say they've got about an average of 20-25% amber trichs now..second flush tomorrow.😀 SATURDAY: I flushed them for the last time today with a few gallons of ph'd spring water only. I took some photos, and it will likely be their last photo session until they've been harvested. I'm seeing a lot of UV damage to the leaves from the 20 hour blast I accidentally gave them. They'll be fine, but it's just gonna make the trim job a little harder.

I did some mistakes but i was still setting everything up, still happy after 5 without growing a plant, pretty dense buds i will do better in the next grows.

Day 63 Flower #18 The SCroG chapter closed. The largest stretching phase is complete and the inflorescence is becoming denser. That's why I'm letting the lady grow now. Light Power: 80 to 100% in two days Day 61 Flower #16 Watered with 2,5L freshly brewed compost tea Sprayed with freshly brewed compost tea

Неделя прошла как и планировалось. Вовремя в начале недели понизил яркость ламп, это остановило разрушение старых листьев от переизбытка магния и нехватки кальция. Ко всему прочему снизило быстрый стретч и позволило гнуть ветки, так как они снизили скорость утолщения. Одна из веток на 4-ом этаже лопнула от основного ствола, пришлось делать целу систему из растяжек, чтобы и гнуть можно было, и чтобы транспортная мозоль могла образоваться. В высоту прибавии только 2 см, это из-за того что основной ствол еще больше получил утолщение и немного вытянулся в длинну, остальные 8 веток несчастно гнутся и разводятся по сторонам. PPM также 700 как на влив, так и в дренаже, то есть питается отлично, проблем нет вообще никаких, старые листья не стали прогрессировать в образовании ржавчины и продолжают жить и пахнуть. Новые листья правильной формы и без эффекта "преднизалона". Утром запах как в хвойном лесу. Не смотря на свои 30 дней от роду, пахнет довольно сильно, и это не смотря на то что даже не цветет. Склоняюсь к тому, чтобы начать переводить на цветение, как раз за неделю ветки подрастут, вытянутся и будем иметь красиво сформировавшийся куст. Спасибо что заглянули. Без вас вести дневник не имеет смысла. Всем удачи!
