well these little girls have been real soldiers. Out of the three of them we only have two left and out of the two one seems to be having a little bit of root bound issues but don't worry we're going to go ahead and fix that, ASAP.... Right before flipping her to flower, and in comparison to the Royal Queen's special Kush #1, these ones are actually a little bit shorter more on the robust, bushy side, the branches are a lot more tightly packed between the internodal nodes, so hopefully we'll see if we can go ahead and get some nice juicy Nuggiez from that one as well.

Harvest time has come. It is difficult to kill a plant I have been raising so lovingly and with a lot of care as a wonderful living being that she is (and we all are as One). I even stayed up all night once to do a slow full 3x flush of the soil with emergency pH correction and buffering when I finally received the meters and looked at runoff values. It was almost like manually pumping a blood transfusion for a patient overnight. The idea to grow indoors came as a lightning and almost by a random chance. It was, of course, a synchronicity of a high order, because that flash coincided precisely with a rare moment where I had a small window of time to collect seeds of my choice in person and transport them safely and very quickly. And get extremely helpful advice from a moderately experienced grower, who helped me avoid self-taught rookie mistakes and pick an almost perfect setup for my purposes. Many steps I have learned only when it was time to take them, and since there's only so much I can do in a day, I got to some procedures like instrumentally checking salt buildup and substrate pH pretty late. I did monitor her leaves from the get-go, so leaving aside a light nute / photon burn of the tips, I think it went pretty well. Definitely better than I would have imagined! I wanted to do a small sitting meditation beside the plant before cutting her to dry. Wanted to thank the plant for this majestic experience and the healing power of gardening and caring for a plant on top of the medicinal values of cured buds and edibles we made along the way from trimmed fans. Those were unexpectedly strong and pleasantly smoooth. Wanted to tell her that I will miss her and remember her fondly, especially since she is my first full successful grow. The first time is always an unforgettable experience. Wanted to tell her that I do not want to kill her, and it was painful for me to FIM and shape her. A sitting meditation turned into a dynamic meditation when I started removing light gear and feeding system and cleaning the grow space in preparation for drying. Pretty quickly I noticed that I have a very real feeling of experiencing light- to medium-dose mushroom trip. I had vaped some 50/50 hybrid street bud half an hour earlier, but it was a very modest dose — shout out to TinyMight, you guys are amazing! — but no psychedelics. At that moment I felt that I don't need to say anything to the plant, because we are one and she had known my every feeling and intention from the start. And then I realized that what I had considered to be a sombre event, is just a transformation for the plant, it's next manifestation. Having lived as a plant, she will now transform into happy and healing experiences of those who will enjoy her flowers. This plant has supported me and helped me heal deep trauma and depression at least twice in my life over a period of a few months on each occasion. In between those healing periods it was just a get high and enjoy shit because why not kind of thing, and it didn't have any long lasting psychological effect at all, in stark contrast to classical psychedelics (LSD, shrooms, DMT etc). During those non-healing periods I didn't even have an urge to smoke all that often. I could easily not touch the stuff for a couple of months straight. My yearly consumption was in low single digit grams. Sometimes I felt that I did not enjoy the effect at all, it was slightly unpleasant even. Why would I want to blur my crisp perception to a gooey marshmallow state of cannabinoid high and scattered attention? But when it is time to do some inner work — and you cannot miss this feeling if you strive to tune into your inner state — god, is it a POWERFUL plant! I am very happy and humbled to be a conduit for this energy by caring for the plants and raising them. I respect this plant very deeply. --- Split her into thee parts by leaving only a few nodes creating the outer layer of colas on each level and effectively "topping" her a couple of levels above (or below, technically, now that she's upside down) and this creating a new drying layer/level. Tried wet trimming and I think I liked it. Will try to complete it in the next 1-2 days if I decide to go ahead with the idea. --- After drying for 7 days, I stabilized humidity at 60-62% for 4 hours and then chopped off buds (trimmed in batches during the first 3 days of drying), weighed and packed into glass jars for curing. Literally packed, because she yielded over 4 litres of dried trimmed bud (I think it was 4.5l) weighing 267g. WOW. I did not expect that on my first run I will be able to grow so much potent medicine. A lot of it is fluffy, but can be easily pressed denser, if storage or appearance are a concern. In fact, I had to press the buds slightly to make it all fit in two 2-litre jars. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way and thank you for your warm wishes! And thank you — the One reading this right now.

This is my first ever grow and thought I'd document and also seek advice. Neurodivergent grower here, seem to have gone overboard for a first timer. Running a drain to waste system through coco/perlite (70/30). Using 1.2 gallon pots from The Bucket Company. Hooked to a water bubbler irrigation feed from reservoir. The reservoir is a makeshift mobile chiller aha. Seemed a good a idea but could only hold 3-5 gallons at a time. Will need to either fork out on a water chiller with bigger reservoir upgrade or think or something. Under the reservoir we have the EZrun-off pump by The Bucket Company. Essentially a catch tray with a pump inside that automatically pumps the waste out to the desired location when maximum storage capacity is close. Mine runs just over to my kitchen sink.....when I can be bothered to make some holes underneath....I could hide the pipes and make it more stealthy via routing it to the drain pipe works under the sink cupboard. Old drippers where replaced mid veg stage with Netbow halo drippers by Netafim. Achieved a much more uniformed saturation of the medium. My nutrient of choice will be MegaCrop by Greenleaf nutrients plus additionals such as Orca mycorizhae and Myco Chum for the extras... Popped seeds directly to riot cubes on 14/06/24. 3 days later we have sprouts. Purple Stardawg x2 Runtz x2 Strawberry Cough x2

Hi Gromie's, well it's the end of another problem free week! Week 9 going into week 10 of veg! I don't usually veg for this long but I'm just trying to get the timing right for perpetual harvest. Plants in flowering tent were harvested & drying now for 5 days, so these girls will be transferred to the flowering tent in the next few days for the start of flowering, I've allready planted new seeds for the following grow, so just trying to get on top of the timing for everything related with perpetual growing. Thinking of setting up a 4x2 tent with a 4 inch extraction fan & filter for drying, so I can cut out around a week, that way as soon as I've harvested & cleaned the tent I can transfer plants from veg instead of having to dry in the flowering tent. Have developed really strong & thick structure's from the H.S.T & L.S.T training. Plants are nice & healthy. Performed 1 last defoliation before they go to flower as they get very bushy quickly.

So this is the start of the fourth week with me. I find this very engulfing. I like spending an hour with them a day and move the little ones out of the bigger fan leaves shadow by tucking the larger ones away giving the little ones a chance to get more light and flourish. I’m noticing more the strain my one girl went through compared to the others, her leaves being smaller than the other girls. I’ve tried to give them the best environment I can and realize I still play a huge role in their life. This is my first grow and I love it. I hope they grow up well and flourish. They were fed last week and had a bit of nutrient burn so this week I gave them just water. I’m not sure how much longer I should veg but I hear in the scrog game the longer you veg the better. Hoping for the best for everyone on GrowDiaries and their grows!

Week 10: 20/4 light schedule, 150 mp water per plant 2x, no fertilization anymore. Day 65: Next week Tueasday/beggining week 11/ we need to harvest because they will come from the council to check the house😂 Well, the previous one finished in 69 days, but I think they won't be properly ready by next week. I tried it and made me high anyways. I would give at least 2 weeks more to be done. Tomorrow I will check the trichomes with magnifying glass. They are beautiful stinky girls. Flowers are getting thicker and pistils are getting brownish. Day 66: I checked the trichomes with magnifying glass and it will be ready by next Tuesday. 7 days left with this day. They are beautiful just check in the video (Day 66). Day 67: It is crazy the last 3 days was so hot here in London. Today was 38 degrees!!!!!! Poor plants even with ventilation it goes up to 30-31 degrees. Well, it is alright because direct ventilation goes on so they won't be cooked. 😓😛 Day 70: It is the last day when they receive water and they just get once and half of the daily intake. 2 days before harvest I will not water them. Harvest day is on Tuesday 30th of July when they are 72 days old. I have checked the trichomes all good they are matured nicely cloudy so now it is very strong. They are very stinky girls 😋 Day 71: No more water for them..... Tomorrow is harvest day!!!!!😋

Buenas a tod@s... Otra semanita más para las niñas, se supone q es la anteúltima semana pero siempre queda algún día más seguro... Está semana se quitaron y agregaron nutrientes nuevos para esta etapa de la floración, de momento todo en orden, este rmario salió muchísimo mejor a comparación a otros diarios, eso desde mi punto de vista. Tanbm le quité varias hojas, haciéndole hueco para que entre más luz x debajo, ya había aquitado pero tenía bastantes otra vez. De momento todo en orden... La semana q viene ya vemos q tal van... Un saludo y buenos humos para tod@s... 💨💨💨🙌🏻👍🏻 😎💀🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

Turns out the weather was perfect for drying. This is my first time bending the plant waay over instead of topping, so it was all new, turns out to not be a lot of difference except the shape is more rounded. I was a bit worried that it was not going to be a good return, I thought I might struggle to get six zips. eight seemed a bit optimistic but in the end she produced over 13.2 zips. I've just been extracting resin from the lowest quality of the box of larf I have and she is returning what I'd expect from my best buds, so yes, this is probably heavier than she looks because of the resin. Nice and light golden with a spicy delicate aroma. I'll be popping a seedsman amnesia next, but the one following that will be another Lemon Pie but she will be topped. However I can't see that I'm going to improve on 13.2, but you never know. Nevertheless I am very surprised at the yield.

The weather gods seem to be smiling on me—it’s only really cold at night. I remember reading that anything below 12 degrees is critical, and we’ve already had quite a few nights below that. In fact, it’s even dropped as low as 5 degrees. But it’s supposed to get really warm again over the next few days, with temperatures above 25 degrees during the day and around 15 at night, which puts my mind at ease a bit. Otherwise, I’m really happy, and I’ve given the rose one last dose of P/K for the finish. It’s gaining mass every day now, and the sugar content is increasing. What I’d really like to see now—and what I’d been hoping for because of the low nighttime temperatures—is for some color to come into play. But it’ll still have a little while to go, so maybe it’ll turn colorful yet. Unfortunately, my sense of smell is kind of shot from years of hay fever allergies. My parents and my brother say the whole garden smells wonderful, and I can only catch a whiff when I’m standing right next to it. :( Well, in any case, I think its scent—as the name suggests—is very floral and flowery, which I really like. Let’s see where this scent journey takes us next. I’m targeting the first or second week of October as a rough harvest window, but as always, patience will pay off in the end. STOP THE EARLY HARVEST! 😂🌹🍂

So this should be the last week of veg, as my other plant will be coming down later on today!! I will say this.I know she is definitely ready.It's been a long veg cycle, which is a testament to the growdots, which say only 4-6 weeks before you should flip... Mind you I have reported it's twice now and in both times I added fresh dots.. i just hope she doesn't become too big and overtake the 2.3x2.3x63.. i have a feeling she's going to be a good size plant... As always, big shout out and thank you @Grow4releaf.. I hope everybody's doing well.God bless and happy growing RIPCK

🌱 Finalizando la semana 3 y con buenas noticias 🌱 Efectivamente, esa carencia que venía notando estaba relacionada con calcio y magnesio. Después de añadir Calmag, las plantas empezaron a mostrar más vigor y mejor desarrollo. Hace unos días realicé el trasplante a macetas de 11L, probablemente las definitivas, aunque esto dependerá de cómo avancemos en las próximas semanas. 💪 A partir de ese trasplante, también comencé a incluir BioGrow en el riego, para potenciar el crecimiento. 📝 Dato útil: Antes de trasplantar, esperé a que el sustrato estuviera un poco más seco y compacto, lo que facilitó muchísimo el proceso. Luego, en ese primer riego post-trasplante, aproveché para aplicar fertilizantes. ¡Seguimos avanzando y viendo los cambios día a día! 🚀🌿
