This week marks the long-awaited harvest of my 24K Gold. After several close trichome inspections, she finally reached the perfect window: mostly cloudy heads, with the first amber trichomes appearing on the upper buds. Perfect timing for maximum potency and terpene quality. ⸻ ⚖️ Yield (Wet Weight) 📦 773 g wet (confirmed on scale) This number includes the full plant with branches after a light wet trim. Final dry weight will be added after 10–14 days of drying + curing. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest Process • Removed fan leaves only • Performed a minimal wet trim to keep most trichomes intact • Entire plant cut at the base • Hung upside down on a full drying line • Goal: slow drying for best flavor ⸻ 🌬️ Drying Environment • Temperature: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 52–55% • Airflow: Soft and indirect • Estimated drying time: 10–14 days This setup should bring out the full citrus-diesel profile 24K Gold is known for. ⸻ 💎 Bud Quality & Aroma 24K Gold showed its signature traits strongly: • Extremely frosty buds with thick trichome layering • Long, twisted pistils turning orange/brown • Tight, medium-large bud structure • Sticky, resin-heavy trim work • Strong smell: orange zest × diesel × kush This pheno produced some of the frostiest buds of the whole run. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Behavior 24K Gold stayed healthy from start to finish: • No mold or late-flower issues • Responded very well to training • Thick branches, strong stretch • Zero nutrient sensitivity in late flower A very reliable and rewarding cultivar — definitely one to grow again.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Pour la germination j'utilise la technique du sopalin Pour faire germer vos graines dans du sopalin, vous aurez besoin : Un Tupperware avec couvercle Du Sopalin, ou autre quel papier de cuisine qui soit épais et qui retienne l’eau Un verre d’eau Si c’est l’hiver, vous placerez le Tupperware près d’une Box ou d’un Modem pour donner un peu de chaleur Étapes de la germination: faire germer vos graines de cannabis dans du sopalin La première chose à faire est de tapisser le fond du Tupperware avec du sopalin, 2-3 feuilles suffiront. Si vous ne mettez qu’une feuille, elle captera peu d’eau et pourra sécher, vous mettrez donc plus de feuilles que pas assez. Une fois les feuilles placées, versez l’eau du verre dessus, mais pas trop, juste de quoi imbiber toute la surface couverte par les feuilles. Vous aurez ainsi l’eau suffisante pour faire germer les graines sans avoir besoin d’essorer la feuille de papier. Une fois les feuilles humidifiées, mettez vos graines par-dessus, et recouvrez le tout avec une autre couche de quelques serviettes. Une fois en place, humidifiez cette nouvelle couche. faire germer vos graines de cannabis dans du sopalin Lorsque vous graines seront placées entre les 2 couvertures de feuilles, fermez le Tupperware hermétiquement pour que l’eau reste bien dedans et que l’ensemble ne sèche pas malgré la chaleur. Si vous êtes en hiver lorsque vous mettrez vos graines à germer, ou que les températures sont inférieures à 20°C, vous placerez le Tupperware sur votre Box ou modem jusqu’à germination, mais toujours en évitant le contact avec la lumière. Si vous êtes dans une zone au climat tempéré ou chaud, vous n’aurez qu’à placer le récipient avec les graines à l’ombre dans une armoire ou une caisse de rangement. Toutes les 24h, vous devrez vérifier l’état d’avancement de la germination. Si quelques-unes sont sorties mais pas d’autres, prenez celles qui ont germé pour les planter, laissez les autres dans le Tupperware et vérifier de nouveau le lendemain.

Bonjour les amis, Voilà c'est parti. Cette plante commence très bien. Je l'ai arrosée pour la première fois sans ajouter d'engrais. À bientôt, M.

Welcome to week 3 of flower for these fine ladies! As the stretching period comes to and end in about a week or so I'm excited to see the plant's develop their flowers. Some of the plants have already developed quited the frost for their age and as the cycle continues its just going to get more pronounced. Some of the plants are giving off a faint smell now mostly the Banana Smoothie smelling of cream and bananas so far. Overall I'm really pleased with what's going on so far and can't wait for further development of the flowers! Huge shout out to both Hidden Vault Genetics as well as @MarsHydroLED for all the work they put in to make growing a breeze Extra special shout out goes to all my followers and people who stop into the diary alike. Keep inspiring to grow! -The Projexx Day#15F Ladies continue their stretching, will be looking to remove some leaves to open the plants up soon. Day#16F Watered ladies 4L each at 550PPM. Things are moving along as the plants keep stretching like crazy Day#17F Ladies are producing more and more size on their cotton balls while stretching up and stacking hard. Day#18F Ladies are producing quite the frost levels for their age. Watered 4L each at 550PPM. Day#19F Pictures N/A. Plants continue to stretch and stack. Day#20F Ladies look like their slowing down on their stretch hopefully haha. Watered ladies 4L each at 550PPM. Day#21F The plants are still stretching abit while putting mass on their flowers slowly. Wont be long till we see some giant flowers covered in trichomes! Recap: Things went very well this week, some of the plants are starting to put out a smell and everyone's pumping trichomes like crazy! With about a week or so left on the stretching period I will be looking to place my secondary nets very very soon. I'm looking forward to seeing what the plants smell like and how they continue to develop their flowers!

2 of the 5 coco plants are doing good but 3 others were looking awful and got behind. It was a bit unexpected. I've never had such unhealthy plants before. The peat side is doing good The runoff PH on some plants was 5.2. Adding way too much phophoric acid to get to 5.5 (Plagron recommendation) Well, fuck their recommendations. looking objectively, they are so dark green that the EC of 2 is probably also unnecessarily high. After a few waterings they are back to normal PH and EC, growing well again and getting back on track! Now I will not go above 1.5 or 1.6 anymore. === update I got some of those white crawling bugs. They came up after watering. I hit them with Gnatrol WDG and BAC vitality (as root drench) and they died. They only live in the air-pots. After the nuke I had to flush out the pots with 4 liters of nutrient solution because the PH came down to 5.

I started her flush midweek last week. I plan to chop her Saturday so the next update will be the harvest report. I will let her dry for about 90 hours in the myherbsnow and then cure her for a week or two and then add the harvest report.

I supercropped the tall Enemy of the State branches that were in the light. As you can see In the video there was no light burn! We also have about 30” of light penetration even though I’ve not performed any defoliation! Loving these lights.

Fattening week !! Alternating water/nutes irrigations... Gave the plant Top Bud, 2 times this week, using 0.5ml/l each one, but switching BIG ONE AND TOP BUD so: / -WATER- / -BIG ONE- + -TOP BLOOM- + -TOP CANDY- / -WATER- / -TOP BUD- + -TOP BLOOM- + -TOP CANDY- / --------------- Seems like @growdiaries did not add Top Bud to the database..So i let you the description below.. Top Bud : is a fattening fertilizer for the flowering stage. It maximum concentration of phosphorus and potassium and its absence of nitrates make it an ideal fertilizer for fatterning, while respecting the good taste of the crop. It is also rich in amino acids that benefit the development of flowers. Dilute at the rate of: 0.5-1ml per 1L of water once a week. Apt to: Its use in hydroponic substrate and coconut fiber. --------------

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 Novena semana de floración para la reina de mi jardín de la alegría, creciendo en tierra sagrada, bendecida con Microorganismos y Minerales, regada con agua pura de montaña, alimentada con pasión y cuidada con fervor... aleluya! La planta se está deshaciendo de las hojas más viejas, absorbe sus minerales, humedad y nutrientes y luego caen agotadas en el sustrato, las colas se ven con energía, pistilos blancos las coronan, días de engorde se avecinan! Los cogollos, son largos, densos, pegajosos y olorosos, la proporción hoja/flor es fantástica, la fortaleza del cultivo me hace pensar que todavía puede engordar unos 10-14 días más, quiero sacar la máxima producción, lo que me está pasando también es que el color oscuro de las hojas me confunden al valorar el estado vital del cultivo... pero las colas piden guerra! 🌲🌲🌲🌲 Hasta pronto... 🖐️👨‍🌾 SALUDOS A TODOS!! ================================= Info de la cepa Mendo T: https://www.thehighchameleon.com/es/shop/mendo-t-6#attr=202 - 85% Indica, 15% Sativa.
