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.

So like I said last week, this is definitely not an autoflower..10 weeks of veg in a one gallon container, it makes absolute, you know sense, and the second I flipped her, she flipped... So at this point i'm just hoping it's still purple haze... i will say she's been happy and she's growing right along, as you can tell she's crowning nicely, and she's stacking fairly quickly for what's supposed to be a heavier sativa leaning plant ... by the looks of her plant leaves, she looks like a right down the middle of the road hybrid.. As long as when she's all said and done, she looks and smokes good.You won't hear me complain... I really hope everyone is doing well. God bless and a happy growing ✌️

Plants loved their new home from last week.....the crown of one plant got broken off while I was deal with something else....so instead of trying to fix it or throw it out I decided to put it into a pot.....to my surprise 5 mins after doing that I realize it started to straighten up from the training of the tree it broke from....thinking it would be like that for a while until it pushes root.....woke up to find it fully straight and buds got fatter......hope it is a success would be first clone...#happy growing

THIS SUCKS. I HAD PICTURES AND THE DIARY ALL FILLED OUT AND IT DIDNT SAVE. 5/8 watered. A little less than usual. A little over 2 Gatorade bottles total. I wrote a repirt but it didn't save. I fimmed a couple gmos. 5/9 I've noticed burns but I think it's from direct sunlight from south facing windows. The blinds had a little spot where a stream of light could come in. I've put card board over the blind to minimize any direct light coning in. The 3 plants in reveg seem to be coming out of it. I've noticed pretty good growth. I switched the bloom light on for a couple hours today to see if the plants could take it. I bitched out though and ended up shutting it off. Won't be long and they'll be going outside. Three seedlings have come up. All autos I believe. I hope they don't stay stunted but we'll see. 5/10 Seedlings (3) are doing good. Soil seemed dry on the event horizons. I don't know whats going on with the toasted toffy that's all twisted up. It WAS rootbound af and revegged. Fan is blowing directly on plants and I think that may be a factor. I've got a lot of work to do. Thos site keeps not saving my. UPDATE: I switched the bloom switch on around 2:30 and checked on plants around seven and they were perking right up. The toaster toffy seemed to have perked up as well but I noticed some tips are burnt. I think it was from a hole in the blinds though seeing the rest of the plant has a good response ad well as the rest of the garden. I'll know for sure tomorrow. I worked on cleaning the cage and ill finish that tomorrow. 5/10 WATERED. USED THREE GATORADE BOTTLES TOTAL. EVENT HORIZON AMD TOASTED TOFFY SEEM TO DRINK MORE WATER. I noticed some (burns/bleaching?) On some new growth on that weird twisted toffy. Also on like a tiny leaf on the bottom of a plant but no other damage. Leaves seem to have longer petioles now which I read is a symptom of light burn. Smell significantly increased as well. The 4 GMO'S however seemed to love the light and are perked right up. I'll check on them again after I stop and check with my growing buddy and see what he says. I'll finish cleaning the cage today and I'll clean my bags. Maybe start some LST. UPDATE: SECOND TIME WROTONG THIS. I HATE THIS SITE. WENT OVER WITH THE INTENT OF SHUTTONG OFF THE BLOOM SWITCH BUG JUST RAISED THE LIGHT SOME. I SEE SMALL BURNS ON THE EVENT HORIZONS AND THE TOASTED TOFFY. NOT SIGNIF8CANT BUT I DONT WANT IT TO BECOME SIGNIFICANT. THESE SEEMED ALK REVEGGED. THAT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THE STRANGENESS IVE BEEN OBSERVING. SINCE ALL 4 GMO'S ARE EXPLODING AND EVEN THE SHERB PIE IS TAKING OFF SO I DIDNT WANT TO SHUT THE LIGHT OFF. THEY WILL GO OUTSIDE IN A COUPLE WEEKS. I THINK RAISING THE LIGHT A BIT AND MOVING THE EH AND TT A LITTLE FURTHER BACK. I'LL MONITOR AND ADJUST FROM THERE. I HAVE TO GO HACK LATER AND I MAY WASH AND DISINFECT MY GROW BAGS. I JUST CANT SEE THIS LIGHT BURNING PLANTS ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE SEEDLINGS IN THE WINDOW RECEIVING DIRECT SUNLIGHT. ONE THING I DID NOTICE ON THE GMOS IS IT "LOOKED" LIKE THE PETIOLES ON THE LEAVES WERE NARROWING. IT COULD'VE BEEN IN MY HEAD. I'LL OBSERVE AND REPORT. 5/11 I must've forgotten to write this or more likely it didn't save. 5/12 Plants looked like they like the increased light. The gmo especially seems to be praying. The burns on the 1 ev and the tt seem to be the same one as before but I'm noticing much more growth since I've flipped on the bloom switch. I've got some big pallets and am getting ready to prep for moving things outside by June 1 give or take. 5/13 already did this and it didn't save. Found my two 150watt hps lights that ice used previously with great success. However since I seem to be getting better results with the l.e.d. went at a different time of day and saw a stream of light right on a burn spot so I don't think it's the light. I went higher blocking the window and taped the blinds to the size. I've noticed lots of lateral growth. Time to train. Seedlings will also need transplant.

End of week 22: Overal it was a good run with the Shamans from @DutchPassion_Official . Didn't had mayor problems besides having to harvest them earlyer. I really wanted to flower them another 2 weeks but the weather/climate didn't allow me to. Still the buds came out decent as you can see for an early harvest. I will cure those buds for some time in my pots before they get smoked and will update how much weight I got out of the two plants. As you can see I made the bigger buds smaller. There is no use for me to keep big buds for showing off. Big buds just have big long stems in it, harder to dry and to fill your cure pots with.

Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop, which had an enhanced and more potent THC content and was more intense in terms of smell. The third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL, which has a similar THC content but an enhanced heavier yield. The smoke is incredible, with an outstanding flavor of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its earthy solid scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene, which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odor. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain, and the effect is well-balanced, developing mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The intense solid aroma starts early in the flowering period; if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors, you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse these babies' stinky "road kill" aroma! Cheese XXL is a cheese strain suited to indoor setups and thrives outdoors well. These feminized marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mold and disease and produce a substantial harvest that professional and amateur growers can quickly achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding. Break open the buds ready for use, and you'll see why the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis, so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency, and flavor, Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice.

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 4 VEG | Queen Energy & Full Ecosystem Build 🌿 Both Lava Cake phenos are thriving post-transplant—zero signs of stress, branching vigorously, and growing like there’s no tomorrow, they’re glowing like true queens under the summer sun. 👑 ⸻ 🌱 Growth Highlights • Structure: Lateral branches coming in fast and healthy • Leaves: Deep green, thick, full of life—new sets coming in strong • Resilience: No transplant shock observed; they’re in full takeoff mode • Training: Not started yet, but their shape is ideal for light training soon ⸻ 💧 Nutrient Profile Current feeding recipe (per liter of water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml Supports nutrient flow, strengthens cell walls, anti-stress defense. • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml Helping frame formation and boosting photosynthetic power. • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml Serving as the balanced nutrient base. • Aptus Start Booster – 0.2 ml Still enhancing root expansion and early leaf vigor. We’re still watering from below, by filling the tray and letting the substrate absorb from the bottom up, encouraging strong root systems and oxygen-rich zones in the upper soil. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Overview • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Water Temp: 18.5°C • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 Everything monitored in real time via the TrolMaster Ecosystem, providing precision control and remote access, yes, even while we’re in the bathroom. 😉 ⸻ 💡 Lights & Zones We’ve now expanded our setup into the 8x8 tent, and the Lava Cakes are sharing space with their sisters across two dedicated zones: • Future of Grow – Black Series 600: Full-spectrum power delivering compact, colorful growth. • ThinkGrow Model Ones: Smart spectrum and PPFD control, perfectly synced with the TrolMaster system. Both lighting zones are tuned for veg—intensity dialed in, and spectrum tuned for lush photosynthesis. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow & Filtration • Exhaust: Two 6” inline fans with carbon filters for odor and purity • TrolMaster Aerofan 6” (controlled by Tent-X controller) • Spider Farmer 6” Inline (controlled by GGS Controller) • Intake: One 6” active intake with filter This full cycle keeps airflow fresh, clean, and optimized, essential for plant metabolism and VPD balance. 💡 Why carbon filters even now? Because purity matters. Even in early veg, it keeps the air crisp and microbial risks low. Plus, stealth mode always on. 🔇 ⸻ 📈 Sensors in Action We’re dialing in with: • CO₂ sensor (live ppm tracking) • Humidity/Temp sensor • PPFD sensor for light mapping and consistency These tools allow us to optimize every square meter of canopy, ensuring no girl is left behind. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Ahead • Light training coming soon • Roots will now fully colonize the 11L Amnesia fabric pots • Expect explosive top and side growth • Canopy management will begin as needed • More studio photo sessions—before the girls outgrow the door! 📸 ⸻ 🧠 Final Notes This is a very special run. The Lava Cakes are being treated like royalty—from tailored nutrients to cutting-edge control systems. The goal: maximum quality, transparency, and education every step of the way.

This is my first grow indoor, 2 plants in a tend 80 x 80 x 160 cm. Using a mix substract, in a 7 liters vase. Germination was done with the paper towel method. At the first week one of them was stagnated, so I forced up the seed and probably hurt a cotyledone.
