Still going and still stinky. I figure another week or so

8/31 Week 7 and the damned tent is full .... such problems err? 25 sq ft of green, did not expect this really was hoping the extra space would allow more plants but this is full on 5 Plants doing well just trying to make em all fit Nuets remain as is These girls be a growin! Defoliation to try and get they to fit in the tent a bit easier, removed fan leaves. 9/1 Upped PK to 2ml/g the cotton balls have begun Both hit 30" tonight and are becoming exceptional plants 9/2 Still stretching but seems to be slowing now 31" both plants 9/4 Major defoliation cleaned bottoms middle tops get the buds in light and help them fit in the tent better. Still hitting about 1 inch-ish a day nut seem to be slowing

Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich sehr gut. Der Durst der Pflanzen variiert und wird täglich angepasst. Es wird immer früh morgens gegossen. bei der größten sehe ich abends bereits das die Erde trocken ist. ich hoffe die Blüten entwickeln sich so wie sich der ganze grow bis jetzt verlaufen ist. einfach überrascht was in der kurzen Zeit alles aus den Pflanzen kommt.

All 10 S1'S are pure orange peel. Small but nice tight nugs. Chop Chop 😈

These girls had large growth spurts. The plant buds packed on volume in the last 2 weeks. I let some deficiencies run about a month prior harvest, which I'll make sure not to do in future. Roughly a quarter pound of nice buds + trim.

3rd December 5 days later and the Candy Rain looks really healthy! Looking forward to increase the EC from 2.40 to 2.5-2.6 in the next few days… From my experience this strain can’t take that much nutrients and is easily over-fertilized…so I will carefully increase the nutrients and see how the plant will react.

She is growing beast mode I'm proud of her.. I was able to top al outside branches today again , basically the ones who were sticking out the most.. Still only water for now💦💦

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

I enjoy growing. Definitely happy with my grow.

Plants are looking very healthy. I have stopped adding Recharge and MykosWP. I have them only on water now so they can effectively eat the High Tide from Commonwealth Canna. Lights are at 90% and 20 inches above the canopy. I will be using plant stakes to hold the buds up. Should see flowers see some flower forming sooner than later. Happy and Healthy…

Cada vez màs cerca.

Potted the plants up in final pots mid week and removed the smallest plant from the grow. Had trouble with temps dropping to below 15c this week and had PH levels going up to 7, both all sorted now and look to be growing well since making adjustments.

She is coming along great. Showing some good early trichome production and smelling great.

Last week plants were looking super healthy and responded very well to the second topping so I decided to flip the light schedule few days later. They already started stretching and the smell is noticeably enhanced.

begining week 7 day 44: flowers more, but bad wheather :( end of week 7 still bad wheather :( flower turned a little bit bigger, but not much and I have some fleas now :( (see video) I picked them manually hope they dont increase day 48 nutrition: 0,4 litre water+ 0,8 ml Mairol Blütenwunder day 49: nutrition 0,5 litre water + 1,5 ml Mairol Blütenwunder

1/4 Week 8 Vids and Pics here is a run down: In Flower tent Full Bloom nuets Pussy Galore (FF7) stretch has slowed Octopussy(LSD) As tall as Pussy she hopefully is slowing Plenty (GC) growing really nicely stretch is very manageable Half n' Half Solitaire (CC) Love it Chew Mee (F2) Ditto Bambi (F6) just arrived In veg - big girl feed 20ml/g grow + Kangaroots Dink(FF2) Tiffany Case - Gold Leaf Thumper - FB FFT-8 Holly Goodhead - FB FFT-7 Mary Goodnight - ILGM Gold Leaf Kissy Suzuki - Fast Buds Wedding Cheese Cake Strawberry Fields - Fast Buds Strawberry Pie Wedding Ch Cake still in recovery getting same as clones. Clones: All planted but three and two of those will be today ... and those were planted do not think the last one is going to root looks bad 1.5ml/L Grow + low kangaroots with a weak 1/4 str nuet foliar (no kanga) 12/5 GD wont let me add more than 8 strains (f them) so will be cranking up the Bond auto fire grow for the wedding ch cake and Straw Pie Giving my wife those to raise so she will be growing them. I got enough to do Soon as the plant stands get in be moving Dink into the flowering tent Entire veg tent now on 20ml/gal of Grow A/B 2 ml/gal kanga except clones and the seedling they remain as is Will be flipping this tent to 12-12 sometime in about a week after the clones are moved 12/6 Looking at the Flowering tent and thinking forward there is no way for me to put another plant in it without hurting the grow. These last three that went in are going to get large-ish just like the others I hope we flipped small enough. Think so was pretty small Reduced Bloom 2ml increased PK same think its wanted So topped Dink to slow her down and let her widen a bit so the rest can get a bit larger, she will remain in the 4x5 and flip with the rest. Things pretty good in the veg tent today. refuse to give up on Honey she looks like she is turning a corner. Increasing nuets a bit on her Gold Leaf is growing great classic indica may regret not cloning them but have no way to deal with it now. 1/7 Fighting a bit with tall plants and lights think its worked out Pics with labels posted 1/8 Dropped PK back to 2.5ml/g Pussy and Plenty doing great nice building already but Octopussy is lagging behind so may be too much PK real possible thus the cut. Went to a high {K for the GC and F7 they burn right through it Good progress on the plants flipping keeping them on half-half till full flower Veg is just gorgeous only issue so far is getting too much light on some plants, she working on that. Honey has picked up her leaves I give her a 3 of 4 chance and increasing to make it now just up to her.

Sooo I added a scrog net a few days ago to get the branches more outward beacuse they were growing way to bushy. Seems to be a good solution! Did a nother update for this week because of the trichome beauty that they have. They both smell really really fruity and somewhat gassy, if you ever grew a Cherry Cola from FastBuds and you loved the smell then this strain is specially for you. The smell reminds me so hard of the Cherry Cola and I fcking love it

Langsam werden die Köpfe richtig schön prall und füllig.
