September 25 > Harvest at dawn for the big girl. The usual routine... except I shot a time-lapse video this time to play with the camera I won last year. Clipped the top buds first - then the base. Took me 2 hours to wash all that -rinse - repeat. ---------------------------------------- Well this was an interesting summer with this pair of girls. I learned that I don't really need a container larger than 10 gallons in order to grow very large plants (in my neck of the woods anyway). Now when I say large I mean how much space they take up on my patio. I'm allowed to grow 6 legally but 4 eats up pretty much the whole patio. And the reality is I don't need to grow plants that large. The outdoor yield will last well into next year for me and everybody I know. So next summer I plan to do much more serious pruning to limit the scope and shape of the girls I grow outdoors. I also learned that I don't need an inverted tomato cage style support if my container is larger than 5 gallons. The Durban I grew last summer was in a 5 gallon container and there's not enough weight in there to keep her grounded. Once up to 10 gallons you won't want to lift the container much and there's enough weight in there to keep things stable. At the moment I've listed 450g as a dry weight for both plants (updated to 458g final). I haven't actually weighed the 2nd plant yet and won't even trim her for about a week or so (I'll be back to update diary). The first girl came in at 235 grams. I got pretty ruthless throwing away small budlets and trim this morning as it took me 4 hours to take this big girl down and wash her up. That's only because I spent half a day yesterday trimming Cream & Cheese and moving Northern Lights around... and it's been over 95 degrees both days... so I'm ready for a rest. Cannabis harvesting is not easy labor. Diary note > There was a software malfunction a week or so back and I was unable to add a new flowering week, whereupon it was determined there was a limit of 26 weeks at that time... so I didn't add any more weeks after that until the harvest week. When I added the harvest week, it appears the malfunction had been corrected because I COULD HAVE added a new flowering week at that time. I think there's only a week missing. Differences can be noted with dates on the photos. If I had a problem this summer it's because I was too anxious to get going after a long winter nursing shoulder surgery and I didn't pay proper attention to the lighting ramifications when the instructions were there for me, and subsequently started too early. Next year I plan for an early crop of auto flowers to keep me occupied until the proper time for a regular crop. --------------------------------------- September 30 > Trimming and processing complete. I really manhandled the big girl with the Trimbag, largely because I knew I was gonna have a pound of herb on my hands (way more than I will personally consume) and I wanted to minimize my hand trimming. So when I say manhandled here, I mean I ran it through the process TWICE, using about 40 rotations/spins each time. It probably would have helped to be a tad drier, but we're entering a cool spell now and we've run out of time. Mother Nature has decided to turn off the heater... which has turned my Purple Berry Kush a nice shade of purple... but that's tomorrow mornings's harvest... <sigh>... anyway... where was I... oh yeah... AMNESIA... <hehe> Trimbag generated trim on 1st pass = 217 g Trimbag generated trim on 2nd pass = 90 g Trim generated by hand after that = 186 g Final bud weight for big girl = 223 g Clearly, comparing weight of trim generated by hand vs by the Trimbag here you can see the result of my "manhandling". Little girl was in a 10 gallon pot and generated 235 g buds and 360 g trim. Big girl was in a 15 gallon pot and generated 223 g buds and 493 g trim. Final total bud weight 458 grams for both plants. Hope anybody following along learned something this summer. I did. 😎 The trick is to not make the same mistake twice. That's kinda why we're all here. Kinda. ✊

Vegged for quite a while time to flower .

She started out rather slowly, and waited pretty long to get into preflower. After some patience feeding and doing foliars, she turned into a behemoth! I can’t even count the number of times I had to defol or the amount of larf I had to remove. She produced a massive amount of semi-dense, fragrant, and frosty buds. Not the craziest I’ve ever seen, but very nice for lower THC genetics. Smells of strong earth with undertones of sweet berries and skunk.

Bastante bonita, buen producción a pesar de que le dio botrytis en la copa principal y tuve que cortar por prevención. Un olor muy original, honestamente me gusto mucho, la considero fácil de cultivar con un plan de nutrientes medios.

Buenas, buenas estamos en la semana 1 de floracion y las plantas comienzan ha estirarse y a mostrar su sexo, hemos aplicado diferentes tecnicas para maximizar la malla de scrog

Day 105. I do not have enough experience to tell if that is a long time to finish for an autoflower. 2 Days ago I added 8 liters of water pH'd at 5.9. I'm also curious of anyone knows if this strain produces amber colored thrichomes. I've read some stuff on the internet that certain strains produce almost none at all. I can't tell of people are telling the truth or I just should have more patience and wait for them to show up. The close-up pictures you see are from day 105. Almost all her sugar leafs are yellowish or completely yellow btw. I forgot to make recent pics of the cola's. I'll add some of day 103. On a sidenote, by the looks of it, the buds are still gaining some nice mass and density. Cheers, DangerMouse --------------- Day 107 ------------------- After 10 days of FloraRipen another batch of FloraKleen. I added pics of the trichomes and some buds. The runoff had an us/cm of 4500... Like I said before, my meter must be broken, right? After 48 hours of flushing I'll just change the water for pH'd at 5.9. Does anyone know what kind of bugs are in the runoff? The video is of the water that came out of the bucket. I've seen them before for did not capture them. The look a bit like springtails but does anyone know? There are none on the plant itself, just in the water. Let me know! Happy growing, DangerMouse

Hella Jelly F49 The strain is finally coming to an end and will be harvested next week. The buds are super heavy and have started bending the branches. Smell is very much grapes and strawberries at this point!

This week shows a lot of stem growth as well as the presence of some clones! Too excited about how big the girls are getting have a feeling they are going to be getting bigger at a fast rate at this point. I am still keeping them on the same nutrient and light schedule at the moment. I have a lot more pictures and videos this week because lets be honest I am still getting the hang of this thang!

Week 4 of Vegetation The fourth week is over, and little Pearl seems to be picking up the pace after all. She looks very healthy, with a rich, beautiful green color.⚪️🌱 I gave her some Azet tomato fertilizer from Neudorff at the beginning of this week, and she seems to be responding well to it. 🔝🌱 I’m really looking forward to the coming weeks.

She stretched more than I wanted, but well, another lesson learned with the scrog, the smell is starting to get stronger and I like it. It reminds me of the Birthday Cake smell.

And we are finally in Flower after realizing she wasn’t an auto after all and switching her to a 12/12 light cycle for the past week . We’re finally getting this show on the road lol .

This week has been fun still no problems with the grow no deficiencies this has been a easy grow like always for me.i need to do a defoliation on the plants today sometime

Hey everyone 😀. The bush is getting heavier and heavier 😅. Despite the bamboo sticks, they don't get a proper hold 😊. This week the nutrients started to be reduced so that she slowly begins to use up her remaining energy before she flushes. Until then, however, it will still take some time, and I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow☘️ Strain : Sour Diesel ☝️🏼😍 Genetic: Diesel x Northern Lights 👍 Vega Lights : 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Flower Lights : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205 W 💡 ☝️ Soil : Canna Terra Professional + ☝️ Nutrients : Canna Terra Vega, Canna Terra Flores, Rizotonic, Cannazym, CANNA Boost, Pk 13/14, Canna Cal/Mag, Canna Ph - Grow, Canna Ph - Flores ☝️ 🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EG.

This little lady is looking more hopeful this week. I moved her (well, all of the autos) further away from the photos so she could get more direct sun. She doesn't look great, but I feel like she's working through. The newer leaves are still pretty yellow, but at least they aren't contorted and there's no horrible brown spots or anything. I gave her some of the Coast of Maine 5-2-4 around her base so hopefully she'll gobble some of that up and will look better next week when she'll have gone to flower. Stay tuned!

6/12 Thunderstorms turned to sun Plants are growing substantially. The ones that were damaged from the sun have pulled out of it. I checked the fim I did on a gmo that later burned and it has five tops! I took a couple videos bur I'll have to wait until tomorrow to upload them. Despite the weather severity and inconsistencies I'm in a really good spot. I'll upload the two videos tomorrow when I'm in a better area. Wifi is far to slow. 6/13 Rained yesterday before turning to hot sun. Supposed to be in the 90s today. Due to the rain and storms we've been having I hacebt had to water. Soil is still moist. Plants seem to be growing at a great pace. With all this rain they've gotten a hearty dose of the nutes in my soul mix and then when the sun comes out and they bask for a few hours they look considerable bigger. Another storm coming up but other than that weather is good. Plants are happy and doing well. 6/14 Plants are loving this hot weather. Rainy then it will clear up and be sunny. All plants have recovered from the shock of the weather and are growing like crazy. Ice started some lsting. I haven't even had to water. 6/15 Medium is still damp. I don't think we'll get much rain the next few days but we've gotten a lot lately. I'll continue playing it by ear. The water lasts much longer with the smaller plants in lather containers. Later in the summer I could be watering daily. If there is no rain I'll allow the bags to dry out and I'll water them. I may start them on a small nutrient schedule like the fox farm organic one you use for the entirety. I've hesitated though because my soil is chock full of nutrients and they show no sighs of deficiencies. I'll keep an eye on it. They look great though. 9/16 Watered after church. 3 1/2 gallons so approximately a half gallon each. Iys been really hot and i dont see rain in the forecast. Also broke the gmo that I fimmed right at a topping point. It wasnt wilted, and I ran and grabbed duct tape and fixed it. I've had good luck in the past this way. Hopfully I will this time as well. Still sucks though 9/17 The plant that split at the V that I taped up seems to be doing just fine. Looks just like the other top next to it. Thank God. Things seem to be going well. I'm wondering if I should start giving nutrients but I don't see any deficiencies and I know this soil mix lasts pretty much through veg without showing signs of deficiencies. I think it might be a case of "if it's not broke don't fix it." I'll look back on diaries and I'll do some research. 9/18 It's overcast but it's been in the upper 80's. I checked the plants around 11 and they looked good. They'll need water but I'm holding off until the morning. The plant I broke at the crook shows no signs of wilting or any negative effects. I assume it will come back stronger. I was thinking about watering tonight but at 12 there was still a little moisture. They will be fine until morning. Plants seem bigger every day.

Die Woche war sehr gut 👍 Sie fängt jetzt an richtig stabil & schön zu wachsen :) ich habe heute am 01.10 wieder enhancer benutzt 0,5 Gramm auf einen Liter zum giesen… ich habe wieder eine kleine Menge von den 0,5 auf die Oberfläche aufgetragen & nach gegossen. Sie ist 5 cm gewachsen.

Week 11 - Day 1 : Pinched branches from subject 1 and 2. As seen in the videos uploaded. Week 11 - Day 2 : Changed water schedule to water-water-feed, watering my plants with 4 Liters per plant every 3th day. Pinched branches recovered successfully. Week 11 - Day 3 : Pinched lower branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 4 : Pinches branches of subjects 2 and 3, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 5 : Pinches branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think, had my first harvest of ladybugs in the garden and released them on my plants, noticed that I have very little spider mites on my plants. Posted week 1 to 9 on my diary. Week 11 - Day 6 : Woke up to subject 5 being damaged, What could have caused this? Too heavy branches? Maybe an animal that accidentally broke the branch and took off. Week 11 - Day 7 : Pinches branches of subject 3, take a good look and tell me what you think!

Not much footage of that week. Rapidly turning purple now

Hi today I realized that the plant is a male, and it came out autoflowering being an f2 of DonDiablo that in F1 a cross of a photodependent female and an autoflowering male there was a 25% chance that it develops if an autoflowering, but or decided not to keep it because I don't like autoflowering plants very much and I want to get it to become competent photodependent so later I will put other seeds in the hope that they come out photodependent
