Harvest time! Only this time there were some problems that made me take another approach. The thrips are still active so I thought it would not be very wise to lock them up together with the bud inside a paper bag. So I’ve decided to just cut the entire top part of the plant main stem and all, and hang them inside the top of the tent. But ofcourse not before I have given them a thorough shake. Then from the lower part of the plant where still some bigger buds, which I’ve also cut, trimmed and shaken clean, before they did ended up inside the bag, leaving just the lowest part of the plant with all of the small buds I’ve intended to use to germinate and create some seeds. At this point the remaining part of the plants are inside my small garden greenhouse, and I’ll keep you posted if it’s going to succeed. Normally I’d preferred to trim the bigger leaf from the wet branches, then dry inside my paper bag and finally trimming the dry buds for bringing up the final bag appeal. Only now I’d chose to only remove the fan leaf and hang drying. I turned the ventilation almost on the lowest setting during drying. As I said with the strain review, I’m happy with the results from plant A and C. Plant B started revegging, and thus ended up with a lower end weight. A shame because it had the biggest buds. The positive thing about dry trimming is that you don’t actually have to trim anything, it takes a bit more time, but you can literally push the leafs from the bud.

Just harvested last night so will come back on in next couple of week to review!! No estimates on yield as yet. But the smell is definitely pungent lemon and sweet smell. Can’t wait to try the end product!!

One week more. The two ladies have developed quite well in the last week and I have now defoliated them again. I think the yellow leaf tips are due to low humidity. The morello cherries auto in the soil also had a bit of bad news for me. There was a small bag of bananas, which I have removed for now and will continue to observe whether new ones appear. With a new cultivar, I can well imagine that it will be even more stable. Otherwise, the morello Cherrie flowers very fast and l'm a little surprised at the low stretch.

Canopy is now almost universally even. No more topping for this girl, we’re looking at about 9-10 tops if all goes to plan. I’ll be doing a big defoliation during week 7, probably from the 3rd or 4th node down. Flipping to flower in about two weeks or so.

Still going...sigh... 3/18 ; did a water change and man is ut getting awkward getting her out of the tent to do water changes. I might drill and put a valve on the very bottom of the bucket next grow to make water changes a little easier in the future. 4 gallons of well water with 4 tsp of maxi grow and 1 tsp of Kool bloom. I added 1 tbl of calmag for the hell of it. The older leaves are looking a little stressed. The buds seem to be swelling to me, but strange enough, seems like the smell is decreasing. But what there is, is very fruity.ph to 6.1

7 weeks later and she's flowering nicely, not too much verticle growth but the buds are getting bigger every day. Stoked! Nothing new, might make another compost tea up this week. I'm giving them 1L of water every 2nd day, 500mL top feed and 500mL bottom feed. Until next week friends, thanks for checking in.

The Bruce Banner shows the first pre-flowering in Veg4. Plants are growing well but the size of the tent doesn't make it easy. The plants have already been switched to a 12/12 light cycle.

Start of Week 10 - Day 64 07/05: We’re at week 10 and the ladies are still going strong! Both Aaliyah and Alexis have overgrown my setup with their height, so I have tied their main colas down. This probably means that if the buds get too big in the future I’m probably gonna have to hold them up. But for big buds it’s worth it. Aaliyah is at 34” with the bend and Alexis is at 32” with the bend. Annie is now at 27”, but she’s getting taller each day. I’ve kept the waterings at a day and a half, but pH levels in runoff were dropping, so I’ve raised the it to 6.00pH. Aaliyah’s runoff had high levels of salt, so I’m planning on also lowering her feedings to 900μS. I still have full light on them for about 20 hours a day and as of the last watering, there are no pests, dead or alive. Let’s hope the ladies have an awesome week. 07/06: I noticed Annie has some leaves with small burnt tips that I thought were caused by nutrient burns, but her last few EC readings in the runoff were good. I just realized that since she is directly under the light she is getting blasted with rays. I think the tips are signs of light burn. Another mistake in my grow, but I’m learning so it’s not for nothing. I made a “solution” to my light distance problem using garden twine and a carabiner. It’ll do for now. 07/10: The ladies are still looking good. Aaliyah’s and Alexis’s buds are getting bigger. All three plants have not grown in height for the last few days, so I think the stretch is coming to an end. I switched off the blue vegetative light and left only the red flowering light. I’m curious to see if this will cause any change in bud growth. I also found a fly in one of the plant trays and also one on the trap. The fight continues.

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

Start of week 5 today, everything seems to be going great! The Gelato OG is by far the biggest plant of the bunch so far but they all seem to be taking well to LST, HST , Topping & defoliation! Will be going in the flower tent as soon as the other ladies harvest so they will probably have atleast 2 to 3 more weeks of veg!

Harvest on day 91 of cycle , day 54 of flowering.. I could leave it few days more for sure however my ladt harvest is nearly finishing so I need to dry this plant as soon as possible hehehe.. Purple punch has really frosty buds, it didn’t grow as much as I wish(I had to move the plant to the toilet with my burple light as there was no space for 3 plants in my 2x4 tent) but they are looking insanely good, with a strong flavor of grape, I am impressed with this smell/flavour, all covered in trichomes, I can’t wait to smoke it.. So my way to harvest it is I cut it down on the main branch and hang to dry out.. all the plant .. I prefer dry trim because it’s way easier to trim.. so now I am gonna hang it for 2/3 weeks and then start trimming.. I will update yield and tasty as soon as I finish trimming.. Overall I am happy with the results 🙌🏼.

ZTRAWBERRIEZ and Gorilla Punch don't need much longer. In this week the pistols all were coloured in orange. The buds did their bulk perfectly. We got temps +30 degrees so in the greenhouse there Are +40 degrees. The following week should get cold and rainy. ZKITTELZ needs a little more time but also is doing good.
