Hey Guys, so we got through Week 1 ! Everything looks good for me... Forgot to take more pics of the baby this week, will make up for it on Week 2. i feed the baby foliar spray and normal feed with the light soluction about 500ml every 2 days or so. EC 0.8 | PH 5.8 HPS Light at 60% I think i got it right, let me know if you guys see anything wrong.

dwarf is flowering nicely, was laying in the tent today listening to funky music and smoking :D couldnt get too many pictures because of bad lighting but took a nice little video of the trichomes :) started giving more nutrients as a friend told me flowering plants take up more water and phosphorus to produce buds :) gonna be like a kid on christmas day when i get my medicine harvested :D thanks for keeping up with the diary and the best of luck to you all! Day 52 - 29/10/19 Flushed the dwarf today along with my other plants, runoff had a ppm of 467 and ph 6.45. im going to try and get it closer to 6. with this plant being sprouting test ive come a long way and learned a lot :) its gonna be a small harvest, and is developing buds at a much smaller rate than the other two plants :) still im very excited. maybe week 10-11 harvest if im lucky haha. Day 53 - 30//10/19 Couldnt sleep at all as i have no buds left, after being restless in bed for 4 hours i got up and removed about 6-8 pistils from lower growth and rolled it up. almost the same quality high as street weed so im impressed :) taste was slightly harsh but man. finally happy to be on the road to good quality medicine:) il upsate soon with pictures of the plant! Day 54 - 31/10/19 Pictures and videos updated for all three of my diaries. im entirely happy with my hobby :) my Royal Dwarf is just flowering away on her own time, dont think theres long left for her now, maybe 3 weeks? check the videos and let me know what you think below in the comments! im not expecting this plant to grow any taller just to finish the buds for a nice little harvest :) finally shes developed enough to provide a smell and its much like a tropical fruit, something like a mango but i couldnt quite put my finger on it :) i love fruity smoke so roll on the last few weeks of flowering :) (i hope)

Start of the week - Registration for the Fast Buds pet contest. 👨🏽‍🌾 Cloudy weather this week. Plant is growing nice. What you think about my first grow outside? End of the week -Weather is getting better. I’m very happy whit her. My favorite plant at this time 😄 Starts der Woche - Anmeldung für den Haustier Wettbewerb. 👨🏽‍🌾 Bewölktes Wetter diese Woche. Pflanze wächst schön. Was denkt ihr über meinen ersten Grow draußen ? Ende der Woche -Wetter is besser geworden. Ich bin sehr glücklich mit ihr. Meine Lieblings Pflanze bis jetzt😄

Day 22 Starting the week by cutting the big leaves. Day 25 light defoliation to allow light to reach the lower branches Day 28 pre flower

8/19 (Day 63) - Pretty normal/typical today. Have just been monitoring since the defoliation a few days ago. Environment has been stable, stay around 78/79 degrees during the day and around 73 at night. Humidity fluctuates between 55-60 RH. PH stays 5.8/5.9. I did accidentally feed a bit much and have been watering with just RO water and they have been drinking fine, a few deficiencies and I also lowered my light power by 10%. I may end up changing the res and water tomorrow just because I did mix my nutrients a little hot by accident and took me a few days to notice. Everything is looking pretty good thus far and we are getting closer to finishing! Pretty pleased with my first grow but excited for the second because I have more knowledge and have a few things that im going to correct and do differently. Will be updating throughout the week. Thanks for looking. 8/20 (Day 64) - Decided to just ride out and keep topping the res with RO water, Calmag, and Rootdrip. I think I added too much Calmag last week trying to correct the calcium deficiency I was seeing. Girls are drinking just fine and not showing any real issues. Everything is stays in check. Tomorrow is water and nute change. 8/21 (Day 65)- Woke up early and got the everything pumped out and fresh water and nutrients back in. Definitely over did it on the calmag last week by mistake but doesn't look like any real harm done. Roots and plants are looking good and getting big! All the plants seem at slightly different stages in flower though, not sure if its something ive done or just differences in plants genetically. All conditions are in check and gonna continue to watch them hopefully keep fattening up! As always, tips and recommendations always appreciated!

Well there's not much to say about this fine lady she started of as the absulute runt of the little and she come out queen of the litter ! Her main cola weight 50 grams ( wet ) which to me was really cool !! She had a total wet weight of 257G I will post the official dry weight as soon as the curing is done :) A big thank you to everyone who's shown there support for me ! Much love !! A special thank you goes out to all my followers you guys are kick ass man I learn lots from you just like some of you may from me ! Keep on keeping on and I wish you all the best . Overall she was fun to grow cool strain but it tends to hermie , even in the late stages . So to all those growing this strain keep a watch full eye ! -Happy Growing!

My camera that I keep inside my grow tent has infrared and that’s on me. Want to take pictures or look at it without having to open the tent up.

Hello friends! I am glad to be a participant of such a large-scale and simply cool competition! Thanks to the organizers and the website administration for such an opportunity. I will say a few words about my plans. I am going to grow 2 plants in one pot, using the Mainlining method. Good luck to all participants! May the best one win!

W tym tygodniu dodalem PK 13 14@Plagron wygląda jak puchar 😁 hah. Ciekawi mnie jedno ten magiczny napis na opakowaniu ziarenek "8.5 week from seed to harvest" yhm... Ph nadal utrzymuję na poziomie 6.4 -6.5 Sladniki odżywcze przyjmuje ochoczo. Pozdrawiam ?

Lovely to smoke. With a great weight given the set back with nute lock. Which Is the downfall to this run. Because this happened In last 3weeks which certainly resulted in small buds. However I am totally pleased with final weight and smoke from.this girl. Xx

Well I will be running this girl again very soon as she has produced some of the sweetest smelling buds I have grown so far . The colour purple is found around the buds and the tricohmes have a very good stickiness to them which makes for some great quality medicine . The team at the actual company seed stockers were very easy to deal with and they answered all my questions . I'm honestly going to run her outdoors this spring in southern Ontario she will be big girl outdoors for sure ... If you want a strain that's resistant to stress and humidity then this is your girl no dought . Cheers canna family and best of luck with your growing future

This week I started her LST and bent her top over as far as possible without snapping and locked her in place. I use soft wire "Gear Ties" sold in the hardware section of most places. I got mine at Home Depot. I highly recommend these for anyone serious about Lst. I kept her in this position for about 4 days before adjusting placement and pulling the main top back down below the lower branches. I have been maintaining the same feeding schedule "week 4 hydro" 3/4 str main nutrients, 1/2 str Open Seasame. She started showing preflowers on me even though it's been in an 18/6 light cycle. So that's why OS and week 4 feeding was opted. Even though the plant was technically 2 months old, she's only been fed and treated right for 2 weeks now. So week 7 from seed, I started at the week 3 schedule.

bulking up

It’s week 2 already. Week 2 is maybe, maybe, the most important week of the plants life. Time to turn the humidity down based on the temperature your room holds, with as much light as you can create. Now is also the time to introduce co2…as long as your humidity and temperature is right and there’s LOTS OF LIGHT. Co2+light=photosynthesis, and in a perfect world your temp is 78 degrees, humidity 50-55%. These are the only things that matter now. These plants are killing it right now growing visible amounts in just a few days. Every thing was pulled off the plant that is under the netting. While the plants were stretching everything was forced back under the net for the 1st 10 days of flower. Then everything is allowed to grow vertically for the rest of flower. At the end of week 2 is super important. I let the plants dry all the way out. If you think they are dry, wait another day. This is to get as much oxygen to the root zone as possible. Then I flush the plants with 1.0 EC that consists of 50ml/10gal cal mag, 50ml/10gal of sturdy stalk(potassium silicate) and 50ml/10gal of canna pk13/14. Canna pk13/14 is the only non Emerald Harvest product I’ve used in the last 3 years. After the dry out/1.0ec flush of the plants we push the plants with daily 2.0ec feedings until it’s time to flush with fresh water the last week or so of its life. Happy growing and see you next week!

4/1/2023 Week 7- Day 1 of Veg (Day 59 overall) Water Change Day!!! Water was really low it was just above the hump in the Res cutting it close to not having enough water in the system to keep it going. They drank a lot making it close going the full 14 days. I am still going with the previous grows and adding 36 Gallons but even looking at the root I think the SILICA is working and the roots are further along at this point than in previous grows. This next two weeks will watch how much they drink and how low my Res starts getting, and will make a decision on changing the water weekly from here on out or still keep on the plan of every other week until Week 4 of Flower. Added 36 Gallons Mammoth SILICA= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil CALMAG= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil Root Drip= 1Mil/Gal = 36Mil FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal = 194Mil FloraGrow = 4.2Mil/Gal = 151Mil FloraBloom = 4.6Mil/Gal = 166Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil PPM= 536 PH=5.84 PPFD=500 Tent Temp= 76.5 Water Temp= 71.4 Humidity= 58% 4/2/2023 Week 7- Day 2 of Veg (Day 60 overall) Not much today, PH was at 5.81, I brought that back up to 5.90. I took care of some badly needed defoliation in each of the back sides .. I was able to see some really good clone material to use on the lower backside of each of the plants. I will be taking two clones from each to breed over the next few weeks depending on when I am going to flip them. 4/3/2023 Week 7- Day 3 of Veg (Day 61 overall) A little FIMing, A little Topping, and a Little bit of defoliation. Might have to take my clones during the week this week, I am trying to wait until Saturday to hit week 8 but again they are getting all over the place and I need to trim some of the sides and lower areas. 4/4/2023 Week 7- Day 4 of Veg (Day 62 overall) I decided to take my clones and clean up the lower half of the plants. I took 2 clones from each plant to go into the cloning machine. 4/5/2023 Week 7- Day 5 of Veg (Day 63 overall) Water Temp is sitting at 73. Right in my ideal range for my setup. Ideal range 70-74 My Temp Tent is my ideal zone75.6 Ideal for this grow 70-78 The lights are still waiting the switch to flower to get maxed out... The Humidity is coming in right at 60% I love it.. I took so much off yesterday I figure it was a good day to let them rest. 4/6/2023 Week 7- Day 6 of Veg (Day 64 overall) I needed to Defoliate some and I topped a little. The plants might force me to flip them soon. Next Wed is the 10 week mark half way through the 20 weeks. The net is Bingo... Which means that If/when the plants hit the net I will have to flip them. The Net is set to the max height that I can let them get based on the Breeders Stretch report 75%. 4/7/2023 Week 7- Day 7 of Veg (Day 65 overall) #3 is 22 inches Tall, #2 is 19 Inches Tall. Net is set at 24 inches. Net is also set as my Bingo point, if they hit the net then I have to flip no matter what to account for the Breeders recommended 75% Stretch allowance. I think I am going to have to flip right at the 10 week mark of the Competition which is Wed 12 Apr. I topped a little, I de-foliated a lot to start getting it ready for the anticipated Flip.

Colombian Jack turned out amazing. Pretty sure this is gonna be my favorite smoke of the bunch being a sativa lover. I'm a sucker for lemon Terps too and this is got some nice citrus to it. Very citrusy and gassy. Has some sweet floral and a touch if pine to it too. The colors on these branches are massive. They're like 5 inches in diameter and over a foot long with side nodes. She was really easy to harvest too because of the giant colas. After my Nevilles giant cola drying experience I've been a little nervous about drying big colas. This time, though, even though they're huge, I'm not really that nervous this plant survived me falling in it pretty hard, and didn't even blink. I hope plants don't blink. Harvest went really well with the plants. It's always a little nerve-racking going in there wondering if you're gonna run into anything like budrot or pests you didn't see but this round, nothing to speak of. Which most rounds are but I've had a few issues with some bud rot in some big colas before. Everything looked really clean. No signs of bud rot, no pests in or our of the soil. No powdery mildew. The tent really wasn't even that dirty. I had to clean it after I recommended my 65 gallon pots for my next round and was shocked how clean I got it within a day of having those plants in there growing. This week my main focus was trying to get the temps down a little bit and humidity is low as I could. At the beginning of the week I dropped the lights down a full hour, down to 10/14. Also, the last few days before harvest, my temps were getting above 83 towards the end of the night and cut them off even earlier, so there was a few days they got roughly 9 hours of light last few days. I watered twice this week but the last dry back before cutting them my soil moisture's got around 18%, so pretty dry. I would've like to keep them a little wetter but ambient humidity has been very high. The last few days I managed to get into the 78°F 55% humidity range which I was happy with. Harvesting the four plants took from 8 PM to 4 AM after their night cycle by myself. Each plant taking an hour and a half With very tiny breaks in between. I was on the second plant taking a hanger out to my dry area and I hear a loud shuffle in my mind thought it was the cat at first and then I realized that was too big of a sound to be my cat. Then I thought I was getting robbed or something and then I looked up and it was like a three year old buck about 250 pounds big antlers! We both looked at each other and jump scared, and both took off in opposite directions. It was kind of hilarious, but I was a little spooked after that, so I kinda had to set up a light outside so I could see better and the first few trips after that, I may have grabbed a PVC pipe in my off hand like I was in the game Doom or something lol.

Photos taken at Day 25: They start to recover and grow again. Sprayed them with Canna Cure to get more healthy leafs. Removed the humidifier. Lets hope they will grow for another week before they go into preflowering. Thats it for now, new pictures and updates will follow within this week. Stay tuned! Update: Day 28: Canna cure did his thing. The leafs start to get greener again. Also my feedings made them grow and recover again. Removed some lower branches and leafs They are back in the race!
