Stretchphase

Gonna get the dry weight after they’re done drying and curing. Also more bud pics

She's progressing nicely. So far just a little water each day is making her a happy plant.

Ya vemos q están desarrollando unas buenas hojas y hemos incorporado 2 esquejes q nos dejo un amigo q estan medios flojitos y vamos a echarlos para adelante seguimos

Today I moved two plants to their final pot (3.5 gal). Each of the plants has 2 nicely formed nodes. The root structure looked very strong. They were started in Pro-Mix HP and transplanted into the same medium. I just sprayed PH balanced water on the top of the soil to help them acclimate to the new pot. I still have 2 plants that have stopped growing so I am going to leave them in the seedling chamber till they get a little farther along.

~July 5th-July 11~ 🌡️Temp: 🌞78-84 , 🌚74-80 💨Humidity: 🌞80-95%, 🌚70-90% 💡Lights: 🌞18h/6h🌚, 22’ from 🌱, PPFD approx-275 🌬️Airflow: 2 small oscillating fans and a 200cfm inline fan+carbon filter First set of pics from day 10, second from 14 ~Day 8~ Plants growing good. 2nd largest leaves were curled and figured I overwatered so I’ll leave them for a few days until soil is dry. The sprout I found trapped under soil is now replanted so there is 5 sprouts from the 10 random seeds. The only feminized seeds has been planted as well. ~Day 9~ Everything is growing great! The 2 smallest sprouts from the original 4 are showing signs of weird leaf growth but that’s to be expected with random seeds. The 2 larger ones are doing good but ones leaves are still curled. New sprout is doing great with first true leaves coming in. Fem seed hasn’t sprouted yet. ~Day 10~ Everything is looking great today. The new sprout is growing good and I have high hopes for the not yet sprouted fem seed. The 2 larger sprouts are still growing and 1s leaves are still curling but the soil is still moist so I’m waiting in the hopes I just overwatered. The 2 smaller sprouted still have weird leaves coming in. ~Day 11~ The fem seed still hasn’t spotted but the other plants look good, the new sprout is healthy and growing while the 2 larger sprouts are still growing but drooping a bit. Other sprout still is growing weird leaves but looks healthy. The burnt tips stem looks very weak and almost constricted and I have hope for it but I think it’s out of my control. This was to be expected with random seeds.. ~Day 12~ Unfortunately the sprout with burnt tips died and with further inspection it seems the seed lining suffocated the stem as it grew and it eventually died when it couldn’t get water and nutrients from its tiny stem. Other plants are doing good, slight leaf drooping still by the 2 largest plants which happen to be in the smallest pots so I really think they got overwatered and will bounce back because growth still looks healthy. Had to put larger downs on the 2 big sprouts because they were getting too big for their last bottle dome. Humidifier is also working great and keeping the tent RH about 75-85%. ~Day 13~ Plants look good I really hope the drooping stops with the 2 larger plants but they still look healthy, the weird mutated growth continues but it is growing more normal leaves now. The new sprout is doing good and the seed still hasn’t quite popped up but I can see it’s top through the soil. Took the domes off the larger sprouts now that the RH is constant and introduced them to the oscillating fans to promote healthy stems and help circulate air to promote growth and hopefully help dry the soil out a bit faster so they don’t get root rot. ~Day 14~ Plants are looking good, although under further inspection the newest seed didn’t make it which was the only feminized one of the bunch, not sure exactly what happened but it never was able to make it through the soil. The 3 other plants are showing slight signs of a deficiency or overwater as shown in the pictures so I’m definitely still waiting to water but going to start nutes next feed when they are better. Adjusted the lights to make sure the 4 remaining plants are all ok. The smallest sprout is also doing great.

This is just a beautiful strain to grow. The leaves have a rich dark green appearance and the shape is a mix of fatter indica leaves and longer sativa leaves. It's tendency is a fairly manageable and predictable grow/stretch and it responds well to training and powerful lights. The leaves on one of them changed colour at the end of flush and went yellow with some purples and pinks but the buds themselves have almost a silver glow to them. The pistils come out in early flower in a very strong, spikey and symmetrical way that amplifies the cool glow given off by the trichomes. With the rich, dark, beautiful leaves, the whole appearance is really beautiful and otherworldly. One of the Wedding Cake plants self-pollenated and there are some seeds in the CBD Blue Shark, but they're few and far between. It's not a disaster like the Wedding Cake. Honestly I can't say enough good things about this strain. The plants were hardy, easy to work with and forgiving of mistakes and experiments. The flowers looked amazing through every stage of development, and the finished product smells great, tastes great, looks great, and makes you feel great. This is my favourite strain to grow so far.

Just about to go into bloom, we’ll cleanup the lower part of this girl today and hit them up with some Mills Nutrients Bloom, Hygrozyme and HyShield.

i thought she was dead long ago because this was a shit year in europe to grow things, tomatoes all died and this lil fella stand strong in between the trees with, sometimes, less than 5°c with rain and wind ^^ now im happy to harvest around 5 grams XD hoping next year will be better a little bit purple, gon chop her down soon.

Intermediate Results Overview This grow was intense! Setting up the grow consumed so much of my time and focus that I started slacking at work, and it took me a month to get back on track. But hey, what’s the point of a job if it gets in the way of growing? 😉 In the end, everything worked out, and I gained invaluable experience. This was my first grow using coco coir. At first, I didn’t get it, but then it just clicked! Now I’m hooked: "I’m here to stay." Coco is more controlled than soil, flushes easily, and you can introduce beneficial microbes, which thrive in it. My main takeaway from this grow? If you buy coco, don’t forget CalMag! Next time, I’ll definitely install HEPA filters at the intake. The amount of dust was insane, and the grow box pulls air like a vacuum cleaner. Watching the timelapse, you can see the box sucking in every bit of dust. I vacuumed the intake filters weekly. The plant was incredibly sticky, but that also meant it caught a lot of lint and fibers between trichomes, especially visible under a microscope. Smoking microplastics? No, thank you! --- On CO2 CO2 only works if everything else is dialed in. If the plant experiences stress from deficiencies or overfeeding, you can forget about it. Since CO2 supplementation requires turning off the exhaust fan, it’s hard to manage temperature and humidity. The plant releases so much moisture that RH jumps to 80% within minutes. It’s doable, but definitely a challenge. --- On Magnetic Fields No clue what’s happening here yet, but it’s fascinating! I’ll test again with a control sample. --- Nutrients Dreams do come true—I’ve tested almost everything Advanced Nutrients offers. It wasn’t all smooth sailing; their feeding charts need adjustments for your conditions, and you usually need to feed less than recommended. Overall, I’d say the nutrients performed 100%, and I see no reason to switch. I’ll stick with them for future grows. --- Strain This strain is reliable, though not the most productive. It flowered exactly as advertised and delivered a frosty finish. It tolerated all my mistakes like a champ—especially mold. Despite an abandoned SCROG plan turning the plant into a bouquet, there wasn’t a single mold spot, even in the densely packed lower buds that got almost no light. Zero mold issues! --- Aroma As advertised: pine, wood, and citrus. At first, I thought it smelled like grapefruit, but now I’m leaning toward bergamot. Bergamot with a classic weed aroma—a recognizable twist on the usual scent. During the grow, the smell was strong, but the carbon filter handled it perfectly. --- Flavor It’s too early to say, but the flavor is definitely there! Embarrassingly, all my past harvests tasted the same—like nothing. Just smoke. This one has a distinct sour taste. I’m excited to see how it develops after curing. --- Effect Too early for a full review, but I love what I’ve tried so far. The high lasts about three hours, with euphoria and relaxation. It’s the perfect evening strain. I’ve smoked a lot over the years, but I’ve never experienced true euphoria—until now. Guess I’ve been stuck with garbage and ditch weed before. 😅 It’s not a strain for productivity or chores, but it’s perfect for chilling, watching something, or chatting. No anxiety, just great vibes. It feels like having a beer after a long day: you relax, and life feels good again. --- Roots The roots were healthy—maybe too healthy! While the AirPot (20L) prevented root circling, it didn’t eliminate it entirely. There were dead zones at the bottom where roots circled around the perimeter. A dense root mat formed at the bottom (so dense you couldn’t poke a finger through it), which likely contributed to salt buildup. Breaking through that mat required more water, and I suspect this caused EC to spike 1.5x the next day if there was no runoff. Next time, I’ll mix some pumice with the substrate at the bottom, about 3–4 cm deep. --- Timelapse I only got the timelapse running after the switch to flowering, so it’s not from the beginning. Still, it’s an incredibly useful tool for understanding growth rates. I’ll definitely use it for future grows. Comparing yesterday to today is one thing, but rewinding a week to see how things were is game-changing. I recommend it! You can even use an old phone with a timelapse app if your camera doesn’t support it by default. --- What’s Next I’ve grown fat buds before, but I’ve always neglected curing. This time, I’m doing it by the book with full control. Drying in the grow box with RH controlled at 50–60% (averaging 55%) for a slow, even dry. Temps are kept between 20–23°C, with frequent venting to keep it below 21°C for terpene preservation. After 7–10 days, when small stems snap with a characteristic sound, I’ll trim and jar them with humidity sensors. For the first two weeks, I’ll burp the jars twice daily, then reduce to once daily for the next two weeks. After that, I’ll monitor the RH sensors and adjust as needed. I’ll share the details after curing is complete. After drying, I’ll weigh the buds, take photos, and share another post in a month or two after curing to report on the flavor and aroma. For now, I’m taking a breather, fine-tuning my setup, and preparing for my next grow: Wizard Trees - Zangria S1.

She grows with ease she doesn't need extra attention all she needs is feed and light

Another good week! I fed them once on Monday. A final shot to boost them for finishing up. I am pretty certain they will finish within 2 weeks.I also watered them on Thursday and today (Sunday). I defoliated both plants earlier this week as well. For one, I needed to open the canopy up to help keep the humidity down but, there were a lot of leaves yellowing and turning brown. I was not feeding them correctly... in the sense that I wasn't watering enough in between feeds. There were excess nutrients built up in the soil and I believe that led to the nutrient burn. Also, this was my first and only feed without the Grow Big due to flushing for week 9. I followed the Fox Farm feed schedule... but, I think I needed to understand my plants better! I also believe I stunted these girls! One is about 24" tall and the other is 21" tall. Both on the very low end of the growth chart. Overall, I am very happy!! So much to experience and learn in such a short window of time! I've thoroughly enjoyed this grow! I look forward to the harvest and experiencing all that is to come! One last thing... Anyone use GrowBuddy and any word on what is going on with the current download? I've followed the drama around taking so long and all that (the new hardware soon to be for sale for 2.0)... but, the website now says the software is available for free and working on Macs and Windows.... So, I downloaded it last night and I cannot activate an account. Everything has a greyed over kind of look... So, I assume they took some part of their servers offline... Anyone know if this is accurate and has anyone else activated a new account recently? Thanks for any insight!! Peace!

Week XII — The False Ending One believes the end is near. The calendar whispers of harvest. The bottles grow lighter. The ritual of flushing has begun. And yet... The garden speaks a different truth. The flowers are not finished an we will go with flower week 9 or even 10. Plant #1 — The Fat One — has become a magnificent relic of the ancient bloom. Its towering colas are now cloaked beneath an ever-thickening frost of trichomes, each crystal shimmering beneath the false suns like fragments of frozen starlight. Resin gathers upon every surface, transforming the flowers into glittering monuments of the eldritch harvest. Gas remains its foundation, but it is now enveloped by rich waves of ripe fruit that drift through the chamber with astonishing force. Every opening of the tent releases an aroma so potent that it lingers long after the doors are sealed once more. Plant #2 — The Battered One — continues its own relentless march toward maturity. Though it carries fewer trichomes than its towering companion, its flowers continue to swell with quiet determination. The structure remains exceptional, the colas thick and purposeful, standing proudly beneath the LEDs. Pure gas. Raw diesel. Yet this week has brought another realization. Perhaps I have listened too closely to the calendar... and not closely enough to the plants. The flushing ritual may have begun before the garden itself was ready. Though the weeks suggest the journey nears its conclusion, the flowers continue to mature with unmistakable determination. The trichomes still evolve. The calyxes continue to swell. The chosen two seem unwilling to surrender their final secrets. Perhaps the flowering ritual will demand another week. Perhaps what I believed to be the end is merely another threshold. So the ancient patience must return.

This week I started to realize how much water these lady’s exactly started drinking they are getting so thirsty all the time I’m like non stop giving them water it feels like. They are getting super big Arnie the gal one with two tops is at 17” and helga the shorty with the booty jk. Is 10” but was topped on week 8 I believe so she’s trying to catch up and has been they both where popped from seedling at the same time but are totally different should be the same strain but have different characters about ones smell for sure I love smelling them. 👃

hello. this is the first plant I have used big bud and bud candy but I don't test the water and the plant was damaged with high PH so I had to buy a PH meter and TDS meter so wish me luck with other plants
