Lots of growth this week and working to solve the humidity issues - Jack had a trim! I think it's probably because of the size of my pots but these girls just won't stop growing! I bit the bullet and did some light defoliation on Jack this week - it didn't seem to phase her at all so I'm a bit more confident about going further. I decided to giver her a bit of a trim, mostly the lower fan leaves. It was because she was so dense and tucking the leaves wasn't really working out, she bounced back fine so now I'm thinking of giving her a bigger trim - not sure I've got the guts though! I've kept feeding her a little bloom every couple of days, not sure if it's helping with her size and density but I don't really want to stop. Flowers are developing but not as quickly as those on the Chocolate Orange, Jack doesn't smell quite as much as her any more either. To fix the humidity issues I diverted the extraction duct to another room which seems to have made a big difference, RH is now consistently under 57% and usually around 55% - still not ideal but I don't think I'll get it much lower. I've moved the fan so that there's plenty of air moving over the canopy - hopefully enough to keep away the mould as the grow progresses.

Empieza la sexta semana. Esta debía ser la última. Pero todavía quedan unos días más, así que me voy a extender a 7 semanas. Se pueden ver algunos cogollos grandes y voluminosos. Algunos otros no tanto, pero sin tanta diferencia. Hice una solución bien cargada para aprovechar la última semana de engorde. Espero llegar cómodo a la cosecha y sacar buenos resultados. Ya fumé algunas hojas con la pipa de agua, y el sabor y potencia se empiezan a notar. Seguiré actualizando cómo se termina esto. Día 38. Todo sigue muy bien. Las flores siguen engordando y las hojas llenas de tricomas. Creo que a pesar de algunos detalles, el resultado va a ser interesante. Ya es la cuenta regresiva y de no mediar problemas habrá una cosecha abundante. Por ahora se prende intermitentemente el ventilador a la noche, por lo que no se ven problemas de humedad. Pero ante la duda en cualquier momento coy a dejar prendidos los extractores toda la noche. Día 40. Estoy viendo que unos pocos tricomas recién se empiezan a poner blancos. Por lo cual puede ser que incluso se alargue una semana más de lo que pensaba, llegando a 8. Hoy llegó el overdrive de advanced, pero no se si usarlo en esta planta, ya que depende de la maduración de los tricomas si empiezo el lavado en tres días, o no. El engorde es muy notorio en estos días, así que ya estoy bastante conforme. Aún así voy a ver si es necesaria una semana más de nutrición o no.

WEEK 11 - FLOWERING: Final Resin Peak ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS We have entered Week 11 (Week 7 of Flowering), and the Permanent Bluez is showing her full genetic potential. Even though she stayed very compact at 43 cm, the resin production is absolutely insane now. ❄️ The sugar leaves are completely covered in white frost, and the buds are starting to swell significantly under the heavy feeding schedule. ​📋 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL The environmental focus this week remains on maintaining a warm and dry climate to support the final hardening of the buds and to maximize trichome development. The day temperatures are averaging around 27°C with a relative humidity in the 45-50% range. These conditions are specifically chosen to prevent any moisture-related issues during the final ripening stage and to push the resin production to its limit. ​👃 TERPENES & AROMA The smell is becoming incredibly pungent this week. As the resin matures, the Permanent Bluez is developing a complex profile: a dominant, sharp gassy/diesel nose with a sweet berry undertone. Every time I open the tent, the aroma is overwhelming. The Top-Max is definitely doing its job in enhancing these heavy terpenes. ⛽🍇 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING I am maintaining the high-feed schedule to support the final swelling of the buds: Calmag: 1.5 ml/l to support metabolic functions. Acti-Vera: 5 ml/l for ongoing immune support. Bio-Heaven: 5 ml/l for nutrient uptake efficiency. Bio-Bloom: 4 ml/l to meet final phosphorus and potassium demands. Top-Max: 5 ml/l to boost terpene profile development. Bio-Grow: 1 ml/l for underlying plant vigor. ​Parameters: pH: 6.5 Humidity (RH): 50% Day Temp: 27°C ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE "Week 11 and the frost is real! ❄️ The smell is getting better every day, with those heavy gas and diesel notes really taking over. I'm keeping the environment warm and dry for the finish to ensure the highest possible resin quality and bud density. Quality over quantity, always! ☀️ Keep it IZI 💚"

Hello fellow cannabis Gardeners, El Patron is becoming an absolute pleasure to grow and look developing her flowers... Interesting sativa with calixes like Indica I believe? It seems this one will make a better harvest than the last one I have grown, her stem is bigger and flowering sites peppered overall the stems, let's see if she needs supporting.... Fingers crossed I do not messed it up again! 😬🙃😁

What I can i say other than Ethos Genetics kicks ass. I love growing their gear and will continue for as long as I can. This girl here took very well to training and feeding increases. Her terpene profile early on was undeniably Strawberry but gradually took a citrus dominant turn with some notes of pine. She was a moderate strechter and produced nice full trichomes that I'm sure would give a great return if pressed. The buds themselves are extremely sticky,pungent and dense. I used CX Horticulture and did what most dont do and used the recommended feeding chart 😲🙈🙊. I am glad to say she took it like a champ and for future grows of this strain I know I can up my ppm/EC next time. I yielded 6.25 ounces off of a 10 gallon pot and I know that's not impressive but it's my first time growing in a pot that big so many things learned. I will say after looking at the rootball I could have vegged for several more weeks but again knowledge is power and I've gained some 😉

Start of week 4 of flower. Was gone last week and she drank 10 of the 12 liters of water, whoops! Nute solution was pretty concentrated after that and very slight signs of nute burn, but considering the ppm was doubled and she handled it well led me to trust she can handle full strength (instead of 3/4). Gone again this week but got a plant sitter to make sure she doesn’t need any res adjustments. Pistils are insane! Looks like a carpet been almost lol. Smell isn’t too bad which is why I chose this strain, so far very happy

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of flowering. The first pictures are of the tent opening in the morning. And I put it back each night. That allows me to go into flowering when I want. One more week of veg to go, before I turn it over to flowering. And it will be around August 7th to August 15 when I'll harvest. The plants have filled out their space now. and most are growing over the edges of the table. I plan to get growing tips going up this week. with a big prune/trim about 3 days before I switch. I like to let the plants heal for 3 or 4 days before going into flowering. To get over the shock I caused by trimming them up. Then they can go into flowering easier and turn over faster if they don't have to heal first. The smell when I open the tent is like slightly metallic, a bit sour ish, like some good Afghani hashish smells. Each plant got an extra minute of nutrient solution in the morning this week with no leaking out the bottom this week. And they will get another minute in a couple of weeks. That will make 4 minutes a day of food, and I feel with my fingers, when they feel dry around the edges they get a gallon or 2 of rainwater. They look healthy. No signs of bugs or pest. When I was opening the tent a few days ago I saw a ladybug, just sitting under one of the lights, getting warm 😉 and helping. My friend Jerry, who you've seen in other diaries, gave me lots of bamboo, some 7 feet long, to make a sort of netting to hold up the buds rather than tie them to the tent pole roof. OK. Stuff to do. See ya later. Chuck.

All is good so far, the seeds of all the different strains have been quite vigorous. Lost my first sour diesel due to my impatience, but the second time around was a charm .

Tequila Sunrise - Week 9: ¡Nuggets of Hope Under the Brandenburg Sun! ¡Hola from the land of sunshine, amigos! This week's been a real turn-around for our Tequila Sunrise! Seems like Mother Nature finally got the memo and decided to crank up the heat. All that sunshine has been a welcome change, and our little señorita is definitely basking in its glory. The most exciting part? hose flower buds are starting to look downright delicious! They're getting nice and dense already, packing on trichomes like there's no tomorrow. This is where things get interesting, though. With all this sunshine comes the threat of rain and humidity, which could spell trouble for those tight nugs. We'll have to keep a close eye on things and maybe even improvise a little rain shelter if needed. But hey, that's all part of the adventure, right? Speaking of adventure, the slug war seems to be a distant memory. Those plastic chair thrones are proving to be a fortress of solitude for Tequila Sunrise! No slimy visitors have dared to breach its defenses. Victory is sweet, my friends! However, it wouldn't be a proper telenovela without a little subplot, would it? Looks like a few sneaky weeds decided to join the party in Tequila Sunrise's pot. No worries, though, they'll be evicted faster than you can say "fiesta foul." We can't have any unwanted guests stealing the spotlight from our main star! And the star of the show is definitely looking frosty, amigos! Those buds are getting a beautiful coat of trichomes, sparkling like diamonds in the sun. To give you a closer look at the battle scars and the frosty magic happening, I even put together a little video. Check it out and let me know what you think! Things are definitely looking up for Tequila Sunrise! With a little sunshine and a whole lot of good vibes from all you growmies, she might just surprise us with a decent harvest after all. Stay tuned for next week's update.

This week went pretty well, but I am struggling with a heat wave here in my region. She is finally starting to smell like sweet grapes, and a few of the top leaves have a couple light burn spots on them because they are constantly pointing straight up and the tips are pretty close the lights. She is at 52" tall right now, and in her 5th week of flower. I think she should be ready to harvest in about 5 weeks. I have no idea what this little lady is going to put out, but I have a feeling it is going to be huge if she keeps bulking up for a couple more weeks like she did this past week. I also had to add another dehumidifier outside and one inside the tent. So now between the 3 dehumidifiers I have running non-stop, I am able to maintain 45% RH inside the tent. I have never seen a single plant put out this much humidity. Also waiting for this heat wave to end on Wednesday, I am struggling to keep my tent at 75 degrees F. This little lady is turning out to be a little piglet, she eats and drinks everything I throw at her and then wants more..... I hope everyone had a great weekend, stay safe and Blaze On!!!

Notes to follow shortly, just trying to get all the pictures up and organized !!! So on this week , the buds are fully recovered, just about ready to be chopped down ! There are some brown tips and discoloration in the leaves but that was all on purpose . I overly increased the air movement, as a result some of the leaves got some wind burn . Not an issue it will just add to the magic of the smoke . ***************************************** My White Powdery Mold solution: 1) spray Diablo nutrients Monster Wash. 2) Add a certified HEPA filter to your grow area. 3) Increase airflow, even if the plant is getting alot of wind , at this point, the positive greatly outweighs the negative. 4) PRAY 🙏 lol even if your not religious! 5) Cut off all nutrients, do this just in case you do have to do a cut down quickly that at least at the very least what is good will be white burning and flush properly. 6) Raise the PH of your soil ( via water that is above 7.0ph) I believe I got very lucky on this one just due to my ability to recognize and diagnose problems. I was not done alone it was done with the advice of mentors the years of listening the amazing nutrients I use. Last but very not least the incredible genetics of exotic seeds. Without: Diablo nutrients + Exotic seeds I would have been in a way worse situation. If you ever struggle with white powdery mold or if you need someone who has some experience in this feel free to hit me up via message anytime.

3/4 👍 3/5🍓🦍Z🍓🍑CBD they are all responding well to the watering yesterday and I used great white soil inoculant that seems to make the biggest difference. The leaves are growing huge almost too big. I can see these are going to be much larger than the space, even though I only used 2 gallon pots. i’m going to have to top them all in order to fit them in one tent. They are just beautiful and healthy and perfect in every way except for the CBD because I dropped her when I was doing the transplant. 👍. 3/6 I mixed up 3 mL of silica into a gallon three separate times. I did a heavy watering of all the plants today.💦 3/7🍓🍑👍 3/9 🍓🍑💦💦💦 3/10🍑🍓👍

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 30/09/19 || To/Hasta: 06/10/19 From day/Desde día: 29 || To day/Hasta día: 35 BlueBerry Cookies Diary / Diario de las BlueBerry Cookies: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/38769-dinafem-039-s-blueberry-cookies-at-the-ocean If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1: TimeLapse week video, at second 24 I changed the lights to full operation (notice the color change), so since mid week I'm using the full 180W instead the 90W for growing. Also today (Week 11), I purchased the Platinum P450 model to replace the P300 I have. I still don't know if I'm going to place both lights together to end this grow, or if just replace the P300 and use it to grow another plant in my 60x60 tent. P5: A leave broken on a night photo session (last week dark photos). I'm in really love with Ocean's leaves, they are super beauty, with very bold "fingers", and very textured. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- This week I changed the lights to full flora mode as is recommended by the manufacturer for late vegetative grow. They are still growing at a very good speed more than a cm per day, soon I will perform a full LST on one of them and also I will place the SCROG mesh to try to match the height of the colas. At time the 4 plants (All the cookies) are +/- the same height, but soon the BlueBerries will be bigger than the Oceans. I see a bit overfeeding in the leaves aspect, it must be due to the guano and volcanic soil I added to Soil mix. In a couple of weeks they will look very beauty and healthy. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 05/10/19 DAY 34 - 1 l with all week nutrients @ (1.3 EC | PH 6.2 | 24.9ºc) *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V1: Video TimeLapse semanal, en el segundo 24 cambio las luces a full flora (se nota en el cambio de color de la imagen), así que a partir de mitad de semana empezaré a usar los 180W de mi luminaria en vez de los 90W que venía consumiendo en crecimiento. Esta semana (Semana 11) he comprado una mejora de luces, he comprado el modelo P450 de Platinum que reemplazará al P300 que estoy usando. Aún no se si voy a dejar ambas luces juntas para acabar este cultivo, o si simplemente reemplazaré el P300, y este lo usaré para crecer otra cosa en mi armario de 60x60. P5: una hoja que se me rompió durante una sesión de fotos nocturna. Las hojas de esta genética son especialmente bonitas, con unos dedos gordos gordos y texturizados. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Esta semana cambio el modo de la luminaria a flora, pues es lo recomendado por el fabricante para la última etapa de crecimiento. Siguen creciendo a una velocidad excelente, más de 1 cm por día, pronto pondré la malla de SCROG para intentar ajustar la altura de las cola. Por el momento las 4 plantas (todas las cookies) son más o menos d la misma altura, pero pronto las BlueBerry pasarán en altura a las Ocean. Puedo ver un poco de sobrealimentación por el aspecto de las hojas, debe ser debido a la tierra volcánica y el guano que le añadí al sustrato. En un par de semanas se verán super sanas y bonitas. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 05/10/19 DÍA 34 - 1 l con todos los nutrientes semanales @ (1,3 EC | PH 6,2 | 24,9ºc)

Time for drying. Btw drying them like this was a bad idea buds are pressed from one side may be conceded to move them, well I still prefer hanging drying 🤪
