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.

Bilan ​Retour d'expérience sur la culture : Cette variété s'est avérée être une plante très facile à cultiver. Malgré quelques erreurs totalement involontaires au cours du run — notamment un pH monté trop haut par moments et des coups de chaleur excessive provoqués par des lampes très proches (dus à la grande taille des plantes et à des températures extérieures élevées) — elle a super bien supporté les éléments. Elle est restée saine et en excellente santé tout au long de sa vie. Le système Autopot a, quant à lui, fonctionné à merveille : simple, autonome et redoutablement efficace. ​Le calvaire de la manucure (6 heures de nettoyage) : Si la culture fut un long fleuve tranquille, la défoliation finale avant séchage a été particulièrement complexe ! En raison de sa structure prononcée en queues de renard (foxtailing) et de la densité extrême des buds, retirer les petites et grandes feuilles incrustées au cœur des têtes est devenu un travail d'orfèvre. Il aura fallu 6 heures de nettoyage intensif. Une multitude de "monofeuilles" (feuilles à une seule pale) s'étaient formées à l'intérieur même des têtes, une réaction de défense typique de la plante pour transpirer et évacuer le stress thermique causé par la proximité de la lampe. ​Conclusion du run : Je ne pouvais sincèrement pas rêver mieux pour cette session. Cette plante se classe directement parmi mes préférées de tous les temps. C'est malheureusement ma dernière culture avant la pause estivale. On se retrouve en septembre pour de nouvelles aventures où je vous réserve déjà de très belles surprises ! D'ici là, je souhaite à toutes et à tous les plus belles des cultures. ​🙏 Remerciements : ​Un immense merci à Fast Buds pour avoir mis au point ces génétiques incroyables qui servent de fondation à mes travaux. ​Merci à Biotabs, ainsi qu'à @MIA_BIOTABS et @Mrs_Larimar ar pour leur présence, leurs conseils et cette gamme d'engrais formidable, si simple à utiliser au quotidien. ​Un grand merci à toute la communauté qui a suivi, commenté et fait vivre ce journal de borEnet moi même à travers vos extraordinaire commentaires ❤️❤️❤️❤️💘💘💘💘 ​Enfin, un merci tout particulier à @Dryrocket pour m'offrir la chance d'expérimenter leur appareil de séchage. Dora n'a malheureusement pas pu attendre plus longtemps dans la tente et a dû être coupée hier, mais j'espère recevoir la machine aujourd'hui ou demain pour y installer directement ces 571 g de bonheur ! ​

Hi Growmies, This girls are just amazing, they are growing beautifully and from this week asking for more food, there leaf structure is typical hybrid, they are beautiful in all ways.🌞🌱 Last week’s under watering shows some phosphorus deficiency in one lady so we will take more care of her from now. Watering in every third day with 3 litres each. Running the light on 100% brightness. Just rearranged them under the scrog net and while doing all this i got full sticky all over me from fingers to arm so can’t complain about resin production haha.👨‍🌾🏻 There sweet and herbal smell with pungent funkiness is lovely and it will just increase for sure in the next week and I can’t wait. Vpd:1,26-1,39kpa Par: 780-1070ppfd Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely week fellow gardeners!🍪😎 Peace ✌️🏻

| 📅 Week 10 | Days 64 - 70 | 💡 750w 📏25' | | ☔ 38%-50% | | 🌡️️🌞 72 - 74 | | 🌡️️🌑 68 - 71 | 1/11 The reservoirs were swapped out with fresh nutrients and topped off at 5.8PH. I will give them another day or two before flushing I think. The smell is currently fantastic 1/12 There really isn't much to do with these girls anymore other than PH every day and make sure their water levels are consistent to maintain their nutrient levels. Tomorrow I will begin the Flushing 1/13 I decided on one more day of nutrients. I Topped off the Reservoirs and adjusted their PH's to 5.8 as usual. I cleaned out the tent today as well. I can't wait to harvest these buds they are looking great. 1/14 Today is Flushing Day! I will flush them for about 6 days which is very fairly long for a typical DWC grow. I will only PH the water from here on out. 1/15-19 I Flushed these plants while maintaining a stable PH and humidity the best I could. The water level is not important during this because without nutrients you don't need to worry about ratios as long as you just keep the PH stable you will be fine. With a longer flush like this one, you should expect to see death in leaves its ok. I only did this for life reasons, I suggest a 3-5 day flush in DWC. These plant's Trichomes matured fast and harvest time approached quickly. The smell in the tent is very potent and gloves are going to be an absolute must on this chop! I will be hang drying the plants inside the dark grow tent with ventilation to maintain humidity levels. I don't personally have a preference between a slow or fast drying process. This time I will be looking at 3-5 days of hang drying before chopping them into jars for a few weeks of cure using Boveda packs. I'm very pleased with the bud color and smell even though the overall weight will be less than desired I will be growing this strain again immediately. There isn't too much more to add to this week other than the grow is complete and the Dry/Cure process is all that is left. Be sure to look out for the harvest update with the final weight and smoke test! _______________________________________________________________________ Feel free to leave comments/questions below or give me any feedback to improve my diaries.

An easy to grow strain that provides quality over quantity. The smoke is quite potent and has floral and kush aromas. Very strong floral flavour

the plant has developed a lot this week but I notice a slight yellowing which I think is due to the fact that it has not yet received nourishment but that tonight it will receive and we will see what happens and if it settles in place, I will see what to do

Apologies for the delayed updates.. Week 5 and she is in flower...She experienced no training at all.. I was abit skeptical about growing her outside..even though she is not that big and branchy.. I just wanted to see how she would respond. I do know that the yield will be jeopardized but it's all in good sport hehe 😜 😉.. Feeding: She has been in living soil since a baby added ocean mix dry amendments to the top soil once I saw her first pistils..

Got environment mostly dialed in thanks to an additional cool air intake fan, can get 450w mh nice and close for good penetration. Beginning the process of Lst, I’ve wrapped some plant straps around the base of each plant to anchor them, and straps at the top of their stems, giving them a slight bend. I’ll slowly increase the bend over time in order to avoid possible damage. The Gelato OG seems quite vigorous compared to the Widow so far. Starting to bump up nutes, runoff @400ppm -10/28

These ladies came in a rush, such a rush that they stretched out without leaving the seed. I only got a picture of two but about four of them were like that. As soon as they shedded the seed the leaves came in nicely, only one got a bit damaged from being stuck in the seed. I placed the seed in a 500ml cup with BioBizz Light Mix soil, beforehand I mixed 1 gram of Synergy per 4 liters of soil. These are live microbes called Mycorrhiza which live in symbiotic association with the roots. My idea is to leave them in this container for about 14-21 days until the roots develop correctly then transplant them to their final pot which will be an 11L fabric pot. As the light mix soil comes blended for at least two week of life, no nutrients will be added until after the transplant. All out good first week only problem was I had to adjust the light a bit to keep them from stretching, but at the end of the week ladies were spreading their leaves so they comfy now.

End of week 7 of flower has come. All 3 plants are doing great. The one tall one has gotten so big it fell over and I had to tie up a bunch of colas. They all smell really good but each one has a slightly different scent to it. The runt is small but has a lot of colas. The one in between I think has the best structure out of the bunch. Almost harvest time.

Servus Moin! Die Blucci OG hängt zwar noch ein wenig hinterher, aber sie kam diese Woche gleich mit in den großen Topf und kann gleich richtig durchstarten.

Hey Cannafam Happy Tuesday, This gal has had another good week due to continuation of the dry weather and is still thriving. Temps have been not as hot but stable and warm, Tuesday - Friday temps have been bang on 25c daytime and 15c nighttime with continuos Sun and things dipped a bit on the weekend and up until today at 23c daytime with a bit of cloud and 14c night, but shes still been nice and comfotable. Humidity has remained again in the 70s averaging 72% and daylight hours are at 15 hrs 30 minutes. Growth on this gal remains strong, shes grown upeards a little more this week but 90% energy is now in flowering. Shes been attacked a little bit by leaf miners on a few leaves but nothing to concerning and ive tried to squash any thing in the leaves between the tips of my fingers, if they get worse then il defoliate and shes got plenty armor in terms of mass. Ive not given any PK this week and shes just had water with the base fertiliser. Flower development has been really strong and allott of her buds are nearly joining up along her solid main column, nice long pistils with still just small hints of purple teasing from within the flowers with plent of frost forming. Overall shes lookin rock solid, strong and healthy ☺️ Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a nice chilled week ✌️💚

They still seem to be growing, although going in the room twice a day, it is difficult to notice unless I look closely or compare photos with previous weeks. Going to cut off a couple small pieces of calyx's shortly and will post a couple pictures from my scope. Speaking of those, they're starting to give me some nice colours, slight purples, neon greens and yellows, the photos don't really do them justice under the warm lighting but I will try and take a couple pics in some white light when I chop her down in a couple weeks time. It is also quite difficult to illustrate the size of some of these colas, the one near the back on the right, is about 19 inches long, and about 4 inches wide. Looks like 2 ounces of bud hanging on her and I have had to lasso some string around it and a couple other colas as they were falling down. Bringing EC slowly down to around 1.2 - I think I will cut nutrient strength down to about 0.8 EC in a few days time to try and hurry her along a bit. I will only be flushing for 3 days at the end of this grow, they will also be in the dark for 2 days at the end with low temps (mid teens in ºC) to preserve terpenes, oils and other cannabinoids. Thanks for stopping by!

Amazing growth this week, they've just exploded. The training was worth it as they're growing evenly, except for a few branches that I need to get under control. I probably won't install a net just because I'm a little late and don't see the benefits in this stage. Next thing I'm going to do is some cleaning up, defoliation to get them perfect for flowering.

Took her down on day 69 of flower. Her fan leaves were faded purple and she shows a lot of purple in the calyxs on the stalks and in the nugs. Just a beautiful strain. And the small is amazing. The best smelling harvest I've had. And the stickiest. If you want to grow automatic cannabis. You should try Mephisto Genetics.00
