Day 73 The plants look healthy and deeply green. First buds have appeared — flowering is going great. Over a week ago I removed the base nutrient Simplex Coco. Now running only Power Feeding Bio — mixed it into the coco and topped the substrate with it. Watering with plain water at pH 5.7–6.3, CalMag, and flavor additives at 1–2 ml/L: Simplex Aroma Punch and Taste. Previously these same plants showed nitrogen toxicity — red petioles on the large fan leaves when using Simplex Coco base at 2 ml/L as per the manufacturer's feed chart. On bio nutrients and water, new growth is coming in clean. Some leaves still show minor spots from previous acid overdose. A week ago I ordered basic pH and TDS meters from a local marketplace. Now dialing in the water properly: first bringing TDS to the target level with CalMag, then adjusting pH down with Simplex pH Down. Sometimes as little as 1 ml of acid is enough for a 15-liter bucket. The new auto-irrigation system arrived — in the coming days I'll set up drippers in the substrate and find a 5-liter reservoir for the tank. The speed at which the Durban plants have started flowering in a fully blacked-out tent is impressive. Waiting for some fat buds! 🌿

You walk into the back yard and it’s a straight face punch of smells. Looking like some indoor rn moved all plants to safer place in case storm hits so now I atleast have a wind break

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de vida de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Y también superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El fotoperiodo ya fue cambiado a 12/12. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Been a busy week! Topped and stripped quite a bit from all 4 plants, turned on the air pump or the Airdomes today since we're at 4 weeks from seed. Adding some supplemental CO2 sometime this week and hopefully get some LST in depending how fast they grow.

An Größenwachstum ist kaum etwas dazu gekommen. Dafür entwickeln sich die Blüten prächtig und der Geruch ist ein Traum, superintensiv nach Limette.

📆 Semana 6 ¡La cosa se pone seria! La Gorilla Cookies sigue a tope, y esta semana se ha notado un buen avance en la densidad de los cogollos. Las flores ya empiezan a coger cuerpo, y la producción de resina va viento en popa: las hojas cercanas a los cogollos están llenas de tricomas que brillan bajo la luz como si fueran escarcha. Sigo utilizando la línea de floración de XpertNutrients, que la planta está asimilando de maravilla. Mantengo el aporte de PK en niveles óptimos y hago pequeños ajustes de pH cuando toca. El riego sigue estable, sin excesos, y la respuesta de la planta está siendo excelente. Los Adlite están haciendo un trabajo brutal. La penetración de luz y la cobertura en todo el dosel están marcando la diferencia: se nota en cómo engordan los cogollos incluso en zonas más bajas. A nivel ambiental, todo bajo control: temperaturas suaves (23-25°C) y humedad bajando un poco más, ya cerca del 55%, para evitar riesgos en esta etapa tan crítica. En cuanto a aromas, se están intensificando con toques dulzones muy golosos, fondo terroso y ese puntito a galleta que promete una flor final de categoría. Los tricomas siguen lechosos, sin rastro de ámbar, así que seguimos en modo engorde. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Die "Kleine" ist enorm nach dem umtopfen enorm gewachsen 😍 So sehr das ich den Haupstamm von 35cm auf 21 cm runtergebogen habe. Noch ist sie sehr schön biegsam. Schon am 29 Tag konnte ich mit dem scroggen beginnen, dafür habe ich alle Sonnensegel am Hauptstamm entfernt.

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

Lilly x White Widow is doing good. She has finished, and is ripening well. I am just a little past when I would like to cut her. I am waiting on space in Cannatrol. So I have to cycle them in to it in 8 day gaps. Her next update will be her Harvest. I did reduce the light strength on the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights to 60 percent. She is just riding out her time flushing to her cut date.

G13 autoflower is doing great under the Medic Grow mini Sun-2, in the Athena blended nutrition. She just got a solution change today to the blooming mix. I expect her to really start stretching good. Everything is looking really good now considering the rough start. She is making excellent progress.

Ze is heerlijk gegroeid en de fruittoppen zien er verrukkelijk uit. Dik en compact 👌 Mama Mia wat een mooie plant. De hoofdtop is te zwaar geworden dus die wordt nu ondersteund door een stang. Dit was de laatste week dat ze nutriënten heeft gekregen, vanaf deze week krijgt ze alleen nog maar water met flawless finish. Wil je ook een strain van Zamnesia kweken? Bestel dan zaden met korting op Zamnesia. com De korting is 20% en de code is: ZAMMIGROW2024

Aug 29 - Sep 04 (Week 17, day 113- day 119) Thank you to the universe ✨. Thank you to the sun 🌞 for providing this year. Thank you to everyone following. The season is going great as you can see from the pictures 🖼️🖼️🖼️. The caterpillars (las orugas 🐛) have not returned--and if they did then they are gone for now. There's just about 5 to 6 weeks to go according to the information on the seed box. Im super excited--by the way--this weed smells like the peel on a ripe mango mixed with orange peels 🍊--it also has that distinct sweet weed smell 🌿 with a little minty and lemony 🍋 mixed in. Ummm. Delicious. 🤤 Gracias al universo ✨. Gracias al sol ☀️ por proveer este año. Gracias a todos siguiendo el diario. Esta temporada va fenomenal por lo que pueden ver en las fotos 🖼️🖼️🖼️. Las orugas (the caterpillars 🐛) no han regresado--y si regresaron, pues ya se fueron por ahorita. Quedan casi seis semanas para cosechar según la información en la cajita de semillas. Estoy súper emocionado--de por si--esta mota huele a la cáscara de un mango maduro mezclado con cáscaras de naranja 🍊--y también tiene ese olor distinto de la mota 🌿 dulce con un poco de menta y limoncito 🍋 mezclado. Ummm. Rico papi. 🤤

Nothing special, everything is actually working. Clearly once my water was at the right temperature, no more worries. The flowers arrived at 12/12 + 11 with the trichromes that pop, it starts to be pleasant! So of course, I'm not going to break any records on this RUN but in any case, I've eliminated a lot of "novelty" and mistakes that I'll make more. I'm counting on the run I'm re-launching to blow all that up, I'm going to go for a performance goal The stretch is off to a good start, it should settle down around 12/12 +21 - 28, so I will place my second net next week. I have done a defoliation. I change the soup in 2 days, so my solution lasts 10 days. I have a slight over-fattening, but really nothing serious, I will switch to an EC of 1.8 - 1.9 instead of 2.0. and I will observe. Here we can see the delay of one of the plants, it's as if I was shooting with only 3 plants. Next time, only one strain, same size of cuttings and passage by cuttings and RDWV DIY mandatory before passage in the V-system. Next week, I change the brand of fertilizer for the RDWC, I go to Athena, I will introduce the PK of Athena which according to their recommendation starts at the 21st day at a rate of 2ML/L. I turn with the base sensi bloom a and b + athena pk Otherwise, I receive the parts this week for my RDWC DIY system for growth, I'll make it with my friend and I'll test it and I'll give you a feedback on the next update, especially since I'm going to restart right away, I'm going to do 10-15 days in cuttings and then I'll go to the RDWC DIY system for growth until I finish the FLO of the V-SYTEM and then I'll go straight to the next one. I'm going to put my LEDS at 80% which is the MAX recommendation of SANlight without c0² ( I don't forbid myself to grow at 100% in week 5-6, I'll see... )

After this week, stretch was over. I was a bit more motivated now, since the plants we looking much better than before, albeit being a bit light in color. Also the Sour Strawberry really surprised me, because a) it had actually caught up and b) the canopy wasn't as bad as I had anticipated, because it had topped itself a couple of times and helped fill in the net. During this week I was a bit hands off, so I did not actually notice the Sour Strawberry's stretch and did not get a chance to really train it into the net, because it grew too quickly and there was almost no room left anyways, due to the GMO taking up so much space. I finally turned on the AutoPots again. This time no pH adjustment. I decided to move defoliation to the next week.

Hace un par de días le he dejado de dar nutrientes y he suspendido todo tipo de alimentación para terminar con una cosecha más limpia. Ahora solo toca ir aumentando el volumen de riego e intercalar los riegos de agua sola y enzimas para aprovechar todo el alimento que pueda quedar en el sustrato y así lograr la cenecencia.

Week one after germination and these girls are growing about how I would expect. Not much to report on in the early weeks but we have started the alfalfa Ferment so they will definitely be taking off! They still have another week or two before we start the Athena blended but I'm pretty excited to see how well the Athena does....and these seeds of course. Some of them have some wacky looking growth but I'm sure they'll grow out of it. That's it for now, thanks for stopping by.

Still just trying to be patient, waiting for harvest time, hopefully I don't go past the harvest window that I'm looking for. Wanting Milky tricomes.
