Aug 2: Sunday Punch EV continues to be a great plant. Third week of 12 h darkness is now done and lots of nice buds are starting to form. The buds even have their first bit of frosting showing this morning. Quite hot today but it will cool off a bit tomorrow. Aug 3: started leaving plant outside again so back up to 15.5 h of daylight here now. Continuing to use far red light at dusk as a bloom booster. Aug 7: rained over the last few days. Have been shaking water from the colas to keep them dry to prevent bud rot. Some rain on young buds is fine and plants love the rain, but wet buds can cause bud rot. Have stopped using molasses now. Great for growing, but not for smoking, so avoid using in the last four weeks or so of flowering.

The frost is thick and she smells so dam musky it's the classic gorilla glue smell. The tricohmes are showing more amber and the flush had started so looking forward to the end of this run ... Harvest times are coming ....

Day 9: they are all looking super healthy and ready to explode! I’ll just veg these fast. Let them grow a node or two more then top them all and wait some days then switch to 12/12. I’m having 9 plants in the same tent.

Karibbean Mango looking awesome this week. Very bush plant. Still not stretching much up top but the lower branches are starting to even out. Maybe it just stretches for a another week or two. I dimed the light from 100 to 90 percent. I also added a little more far red to see if i can get it to stretch a little more. The vivosun tent a little warmer than the other tent this week, but temps should be dropping and a little less intense going forward. I wanted to see where the plants would stretch to before seeing if I needed to make any adjustment. It is just a little too powerful up top at full blast. Got my temps dialed a little cooler while having lights going full blast because the plants seem to be handling it well. They stretch themselves right into the canopy where is reading over 1400 PPFD. I'm running the light so intense the lower buds at the top of the first net are growing almost the same rate as one closer to the top of second net. The plants have been drinking a ton. I watered at least 3 times about 7 gallons each time. I wanted to give them some compost tea last week, but they were drinking so quickly, I didn't have a day in between to let my water air/bubble to get it prepared for my brew. I was able to get and extra day in between and a nice dry back followed by a top dress of rock dust watered in with my compost tea with a little bit of everything I got. Each plant received top dress each 1 cup azomite,1/2 cup glacial and basalt, and 1/4 cup Langbeinite. Plants got another trim everything below the first net beforehand. I took out a few leaves between the two nets but for the most part left the plants untouched except for the a few of the oldest leaves.

IVE MADE MORE VIDEOS BUT THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UPLOAD AND IT'S FAR TO SLOW TO DO IT FROM HOME 6/27 Made last week a five day week to get back on track. It's still overcast and rainy. It's not raining a lot bit it's consistent. Despite the weather the plants are doing phenomenal. I'll update later. It's 1pm. It's been raining consistently since 11. Just a sprinkle but it's steady. I'm going to begun uploading the weeks weather on my diary. I may start a new diary for the plants I light depped as they are flowering pretty good. Rain stopped and it's just overcast for now. I looked at some videos and did a comparison of videos one week ago and videos today and HOLY SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Especially the light depped 10th planet. Well everything but that was the most significant difference. I'm astonished at the health and growth despite the crummy weather. Continued to rain. Just got harder. Plants are taking it but it's flooding underneath the pallets a little but it will be fine. The light dep however has me concerned. The 10th planet is looking spectacular. The bigger purple punch I'd looking good too. The smaller one though looks to have a pollen sack coming off one of the branches. Considering its not on the otherside I assume it's not just a swollen calyx. I don't mind chucking it especially if that means I don't hurt my other girls so I want to make sure. I sent videos to a few other growers and I'll add a question on here. Those three plants have been isolated from the rest for a few days due to rain. I have the suspect isolated alone until I can confirm. It sucks cause the light Depp was going good and the6ve all got little flowers. 6/28 Well that fucking sucks. ALL THREE plants I tried to light depp hermed on me. I could see male flowers. Luckily I had been keeping a really good eye on them and it was preflowers mostly. At least I caught it. One or two stamines on each plant. Would've been really easy to miss. Only one had STARTED to elongate into a stem so I think I caught it early enough. Plus since all this rain they've been kept in a different location then my big girls. Glad I did that now. Boy the roots looked good on those plants. I just grabbed the stalk and lifted and it came right out of the pot. I held it there admiring it for a minute. This sucks. At least the real plants are doing good. As far as I know. No male preflowers that's for sure. I've got some feedback from other growers and the videos are a little blurry but I had found a light leak and I'm certain these plants hermed. I know I could've tried to save them but I didn't want to risk it. I compared what I was seeing with Google photos and other websites. Aside from the larger ball with its stem, there were also several little bumps besides developed calyxes that were weaving into little buds. Trust me that I wouldn't cut down my plants if I wasn't 110% sure. I might've been able to "save them" but to me it's just not worth the risk. 6/29 I was second guessing myself pretty hard last night due to some responses I got on my light dep and messages I got from other growets. Made my anxiety horrible but I looked on several video's I'd taken again and I know what I saw. I felt better after that. This was after I researched and waited THREE days until I saw the ball on the stem and the groupings of small nubs under a fresh yellow flower. These plants were flowering good and it sucks to lose them. One MAY have been ok but one was a runt and had all the characteristics of a true hermaphrodite. They were only in 3's and I couldn't risk my harvest for an experiment. Still sucks. Oh well. Sun is starting to come out. Plants seem to be doing fantastic. I have one spot on a leaf that looks like a pillar munched on a leaf so I'll probably get the bt out soon as I have a dry day that I can apply it. I'll have to check the weather. I need to start a nute regiment but the plants aren't telling me they need anything yet. 6/30 I fucked up dates or dodnt do it yesterday or it didnt save right so I'm leaving this blank today is the 1st. 7/1 I have still only watered s couple times and I haven't had to feed. This week I'm going to start nutes. I had some external ersonal situations that have kept me from my plants. I'm hoping to get back on track. I noticed some pillar damage so I'll need to dig out the BT. This morning I saw this giant ground hog by my cage. Hated too but had to get rid of him. Of course some of the blowback landed on the leaves of one of my plants. I tried to clean it as best I could. Better than that fat bastard eating everything in one night. I broke a branch either falling around it or bulling through when I was pissed or I LST it the wrong way and the wind broke it against the tomato cage. Nice big branch too on top. I tried to fix it with duct tape but we'll see. The plants need me to spend sometime with them. I need to clean them up. Apply bt and give them their first feeding. I'll update as I go. They don't seem nutrient deficient by any means but I don't think it would hurt to start the nutes. 7/2 Bags were lighter today and if it wasn't going to rain tonight and tomorrow I'd he watering. Plants look great so soil isn't depleted yet I guess. They're growing rather rapidly. The branch I broke didnt make it. Had an idea it wouldn't but I had to try. I waited on the BT on account of the rain. I may go back over and change my mind and water with silica or a mild nute solution or maybe apply the BT. Depends what time I get back. I have some work I need to do over there. There's a few that I need to clean up the bottoms on. Pest damage is minor and limited to one or two plants and a leaf or two only. 7/3 More rain. It was supposed to rain this morning too but it didn't. We got .33in yesterday and through last night so I thought that was ok. Looking back on my previous diaries I'm doing things significantly different than before. I had used a lot more nutes earlier on. This morning I mixed two gallons of 2tsp of big bloom and fed it to the 9 plants in smart pots leaving the container plants as they have much more water in them. Looking back at other diaries I previously had, WPM and septoria by this time not to mention a shit ton of other pests I was fighting by this time. Since I poisoned where the cagexwas multiple times and sprayed the cage before it was moved I luckily don't have that problem yet knock on wood. I'm planning to apply BT tonight to deal with the moth larvae if there are any. I'm looking at plants around this area and im seeimg SOME septoria and pm on raspberry bushes and burdock so it is around. I made sure my cage is not by any other vegetation this year and is sitting on asphalt with the bags on raised pallets. Good thing I did or I guarantee they'd be flooded by now. I've been seeing multiple complaints from maine growers online (AND THEY HAVE HEALTHY PLANTS!) saying this is the worst year ever. Maybe they need a dose of fusarium oxysporum to keep them humble. This is maine. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. Meanwhile I'll be doing my sun dance hoping for sun. "Hard to grow cannabis with no sunlight" said another grower on my forum.

This grow is going to be testing my coco based auto watering setup. The plants will eventually be going into 2.5 gallon airpots which I cut to be very tall and narrow which I hope will give great performance for this grow style. Nutrient solution will be pumped from a 5 gallon bucket to halo-style drip emitters 6 times a day for 5-10 second intervals. I am going to try to use inline flow control knobs to dial in the watering and allow for slight runoff every fertigation. For lighting I am using my HLG 100 watt lights, one per plant. I am a big fan of these quantum boards, they have given great performance in the past! Thanks for reading! đŸŒ±đŸ‘ May 13 day 1: the Blackberry breached after germinating in a rapid rooter for 2 days. I am impressed with how quickly this seed popped! It had no issues with stuck seed casings, which I find is the main downside of germinating in rapid rooters. I am excited about this one! May 16 day 3: Auto watering drip emitters are set up, and I am testing them to dial in the amount of runoff it produces. I also planted the seedlings/rapid rooters into 1 litre grow bags and began feeding nutrients. They are still under the humidity dome for now for the time being and seem to be doing well. Day 4: seedlings doing well, they are staying under the dome untill they grow their next set of leaves, then I will take them out and run a humidifier.

🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 – "Spirit" (Plante #2) – Pleine Floraison ​Date du jour : 27/05/2026 Âge de la plante : J+53 (Semaine 8) Taille actuelle : 1m15 Évolution : +21 cm par rapport au dernier suivi (Le stretch ne s'arrĂȘte plus !) ​C'est un dĂ©part improvisĂ© ! Sur un coup de tĂȘte, je pars en vacances avec ma petite famille du cĂŽtĂ© de Rimini. Ce matin, c'Ă©tait la course avant le grand dĂ©part, j'ai fait de mon mieux pour prendre quelques clichĂ©s rapides et administrer les derniers soins Ă  la va-vite. ​📊 État de SantĂ© & Évolution de la Structure ​Une poussĂ©e incontrĂŽlable : Spirit a officiellement dĂ©passĂ© le mĂštre pour culminer Ă  1m15. Sa croissance est tout simplement monstrueuse, voire mĂȘme un peu trop par rapport Ă  l'espace dont je dispose. Visuellement, elle reste magnifique : une structure vigoureuse qui continue de se couvrir de tĂȘtes de haut en bas. ​DĂ©veloppement des fleurs : Les pompons se densifient nettement par rapport Ă  la semaine derniĂšre. La formation des buds s'accĂ©lĂšre et la plante montre un excellent potentiel de rendement sur l'ensemble de ses branches secondaires. ​Le repĂšre visuel : Notre figurine "Spirit" est toujours fidĂšlement installĂ©e au pied du tronc pour identifier cette championne. ​⚙ ParamĂštres Environnementaux & Culture ​LumiĂšre : IntensitĂ© fixĂ©e Ă  75%. La gestion de la distance devient un art millimĂ©trĂ© puisque la plante continue de manger l'espace vertical. ​Climat : Les tempĂ©ratures restent stables (24°C jour / 21°C nuit). Le dĂ©shumidificateur tourne pour essayer de contrer l'humiditĂ© ambiante causĂ©e par le rĂ©servoir et le systĂšme de la piĂšce. ​Arrosage & Ajustement : L'Autopot gĂšre l'autonomie en eau claire pendant mon absence. ​ Nutrition & Entretien (Aujourd'hui) ​Apport anticipĂ© : J'ai donnĂ© 4 ml de Bio PK 5-8 de Biotabs dans 75 cl d'eau ph 6,3 ​Ajustement de planning : J'ai dĂ» avancer ce repas de 2 jours Ă  cause de mon dĂ©part Ă  Rimini. Le but est de lui donner le carburant nĂ©cessaire pour qu'elle puisse continuer Ă  gonfler ses fleurs sereinement pendant que je profite de la plage. ​📝 RĂ©sumĂ© de la situation ​Spirit porte dĂ©finitivement bien son nom : indomptable et sauvage. À 1m15, elle demande Ă©normĂ©ment d'Ă©nergie et l'apport de PK 5-8 tombe Ă  pic pour soutenir l'explosion des bourgeons. La canopĂ©e est bien verte, aucun signe de stress majeur, le run suit son cours de maniĂšre spectaculaire. Place Ă  quelques jours de repos en Italie, la nature va faire son travail en autonomie ! le 31/05 j'ai postĂ© une nouvelle video tellement que j'Ă©tais impressionnĂ© de sa transformation 😍😍😍😍 au retour de mes 4 jours de vacances. ​🙏 Remerciements ​Un grand merci Ă  @mia_biotabs et Ă  Mrs_Larimar pour leurs prĂ©cieux conseils horticoles, ainsi qu'Ă  vous tous qui suivez les aventures de Spirit et sa sƓur depuis le dĂ©but.

The vegetative cycle ends, I started the 12/12 cycle. I gave them a foliar irrigation with a flora stimulant and I also stayed with a clone of Amnesia Haze. Work is coming during the flowering.

So far only minor PH problems after messing up a good feeding rhythm by flushing during flower transition, apart from that it’s been straight forwards! Absolutely can’t wait now! Very excited and she is SUPER super fragrant! Very sweet, notes reminds of that smell when you walk into a bakery, fresh baked sweet goods!!! She started to throw her sugar during week 2! right at the start! I am in for a treat with this one!

It was a week with a lot of activity. First of all, she had her first full week of flowering and did a bit of a stretch. Also I switched her to the left side of the tent, to space the plants more evenly. We are getting to a canopy, although one of her roommates probably is male and will be removed. More about this when I update my Xtrakushh Diary. Also had time to fit the scrognet. It fits way better than last grow, much tighter. We had some problems with the lighting. I probably hit my timer with one of my sausage fingers, making my lights turn on in the middle of the night, thank god I found it out in time. They maybe had an hour or two of light for one night. Still something she really doesn't need with this strains tendency to hermie under stress. She still looks happy. Did some gentle leaf tucking, some LST under the net, and a little defoliation. The branches might be short but they are very sturdy and should be able to carry large and heavy buds. And we had won the @Sweet_Seeds Halloween give-away and got to choose three of their legendary strains: Tropicanna Poison, Red Hot Cookies and Runtz XXL auto!! Thanks guys!!! We shall see where it leads... Thank you for checking in again and don't forget the Black Friday Superdeals on https://www.mars-hydro.com!! See you at other diaries or next week! Hug Bud and Sunshine

Seeing how the results are, the big ones I made apical and fmi species or the one you cut 3/4 I think they came out in a few days, some just cut the leaf and sprouted, I helped the biggest one with its final production and all of them general the different techniques, although curious results for a beginner, the techniques were not done well, they were cut halfway or only the leaves and not the apex itself ahahahaha, it turned out but very good in the end I would say

- WEEK 8 - ----- Day 50 ----- Woo hoo. End is in sight and the plants are still PACKING the pounds on. Big Bertha is 11 inches long, 2 inches wide. The hidden massive Gertha is 8 inches in circumference in the middle in just bud alone and isn't even the largest part of this 8 inch long nug... Fed 1150ppm 13L 6.4pH 5-15+ days left. 2-4 days till I start looking into trichome finish period. Forgot to take a regular full shot and shots of tropicanna glookies. oh well. Later tonight if I remember. I stopped bud candy cause I'm using a lot more molasses and its literally a sugar in itself so why put in bud candy which is just sugars... seems redundant. ----- Day 51 ----- Easy day of watching. Some nice bud shots today. The whole basement smells of weed candy. Back right Tropicanna is pineapple gummy bear, front right is just gummy bear. Wedding Cake is like sweet weed, you get the regular smell of pot but instead of skunky its sweet but that Tropicanna is just alllll candy no weed smell at all. I did the first 60x shot today. 5% cloudy 95% clear on the Tropicanna. Long ways to go. I'll be doing the Wedding Cake later tonight, got side tracked. ----- Day 52 ----- Fed 1200ppm 6.4ph 12 Liters Tropicanna Glookies is going full blown purple. Should be covered in dark purple coloration within the week. Wedding Cake is just fat. Super fat large nugs. Easy day. Forgot to take trichome pics of Wedding Cake will do that later today probably. Well, the largest bud is 1 foot in circumference now... rofl ----- Day 53 ----- Easy day. Fed some water, they're getting thirsty again. I'm going to do a 13L feeding , then next day 5L water. So that's what I did today. I'll be dropping the Kool Bloom Powder & CaliMagic by day 56 and only feed 1/2 strength molasses only. Will pick the buds off as they finish, not gonna do 1 big chop unless it manages to turn out that way. Colors are going wild. Will check Wedding Cake & Tropicanna trichomes before lights out will update pics then. ----- Day 54 ----- 1300ppm 13L 6.4ph fed Here's some pics. Wedding Cake is nowhere near ready by the trichomes. Barely any cloudy, no amber. ----- Day 55 ----- Tropicanna really turning purple now starting to infect the leaves at top of canopy. Can't wait for what Day 63 holds for all these ladies. Not going to check trichomes till probably day 58 Easy day, last fert feed with chemical nutrients tomorrow, after that its just molasses. ----- Day 56 ----- Didnt even bother with ppm/pH. Molasses. roughly 30-50ml in 13-15 Liters. Smoked a tester of the Tropicana Glookies (Sativa) God daaaamn. Shits fire. Extremely strong. Very Cerebral and its not even at its peak yet... I've chosen Tuesday as Harvest day for both Tropicana Glookies plants (they're clones of each other) A single Wedding Cake testing nug is drying right now, I'll judge when it gets harvested based on the high, and if not sufficiently near my level i'll give it 2 days before drying another nug and trying again. I want heavy ass couch-lock. 6 days for Tropicana. Probably 8 for Wedding Cake. Will send samples off to Canvas Labs for testing like I've done in the past and will be making both edibles and bubble hash and will post those here as they happen. Once thats done I will see if I can restart veg mode in this grow, and if so I will keep this going until the plants die (and just make side diaries for each individual plant variety grow). Should be interesting. *** update *** Where'd the 1.5 Liter water bottle go? rofl

July 26: Tropicana Cookies is now done a week of force flowering and is continuing to stretch. Both plants in this wagon will be tall despite being manifolded. She is well matched in the wagon with the two week older Lemon Cream Kush. Did another compost tea. It’s been a while but this is the fourth tea this season (?). See video where I explain how I make a bucket of lazy compost tea without any air pump or aerator. Seems to work. The bacteria also moderate water uptake by the plant and you really don’t need to water as much if you have been doing compost teas. July 27: noticeably stretched in the garage overnight. Right on. July 31: defoliated lower fan leaves and small bud sites. Aug 1: added top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom as the cannabis plants were showing signs of P deficiency. Blue-ish leaves and reddish petioles showing on another plant.

Week 8 Flower Flush flush flush đŸ’ŠđŸšœđŸ’ŠđŸšœđŸ’Š It's extremely important to flush for at least 14 days when using synthetic nutes, or any bottled nutes in my opinion. The aim is to make her cannibalize (fade) as much as possible before she's chopped. By doing this, she's using up her stored nutrients, causing the leaves to eventually die. The better the flush the cleaner the smoke 👌💹 even when in an organic set up, the plant needs to be nicely faded before being harvested. Otherwise she's still full of nutrients. I still feel I'll be able to get an even better flush when I eventually make the switch to RO water, as my tap water holds a ppm value of approx 150. It's not too much, but 0 is always better. She was taken down on Day 57 flower, after a 16 Day flush. I didn't want to take her any further as she was quite stressed being so close to the light. So to avoid getting seeds I waited until she had a beautiful fade before giving her the chop ✂ I always take my girls down about 30mins before the light turns on so there is minimal chlorophyll production in the plant. This is to ensure the best smell, taste and overall burn after drying and curing. A subtle but very sweet-ish tropical fruit skin kind of smell to her. Her buds are super dense and covered in trichomes. I trimmed off all fan leaves and then each branch was hung in my drying box and placed in a cool area. She was dry after 6 days and ready to be dry trimmed and jarred for curing. I'll post those pics with the harvest update! Thanks for following and happy growing! đŸș

Chopped her down after 2 days of darkness before a slow dry for 1-2 weeks Keeping humidity at 58-63 and temperature in mid to low 60s.
