Day 49 of flower. Chopped Something Good this week on day 49. She showed some amber trichomes so I decided it was time. The close-ups are from her โ€“ looking super frosty, thick layer of trichomes, really nice resin coverage. She finished strong and the buds felt solid. Rainbow Melon and Nectar are still going. Both are still actively bulking and packing on weight. Theyโ€™re a bit behind Something Good in maturity but looking healthy and dense. The canopy is still full and the smell in the room keeps getting stronger every day. Overall the run is feeling really good right now. Looking forward to seeing how much more Rainbow Melon and Nectar put on in the next couple of weeks.

04-08-2023 day 8 The girls are in full stretch ,filling the top trellis and about to explode into bloom. 04.09.2023 Day 9 I am flabbergasted as I sit here. Never before have I grown a plant were the terps were so fragrant that I could smell them at day 9 from several feet away. Absolutely amazing!! 04.11.2023 Day 11 All 3 cuts have rooted and are now Planted. The Plants are stretching pretty hard .

Heeeere we go! Sorry for the late update! This is when I start the flush! I believe the plants are pretty much ready at this point and doing this will just improve the final product! Doing this took me a good chunk of time, mostly because I didn't know exactly how much of water I was going to need (it was a loooot ๐Ÿ˜ซ) and how hard/tiring it was to pH it as well. In the end my calculations were off, as I needed far more water than what I had (lol) so I didn't manage to do a full flush... but I still managed to lower the amount of salts and residues to a "decent" level (around 850 to 1500 ppm). I also used flawless finish so I suppose than even when I didn't use enough water that solution alone was enough to help! Besides that the rest of the week was quite calm and relaxing. Thanks everyone for reading! ๐Ÿ˜

Still working on my canopy. I did some defoliation in order to encourage growth at the bud sites and improve circulation. I have 3-4 weeks until her sister is mature enough to flower. I took a gamble and germinated another seed two weeks ago because the one I originally planted with her turned out to be male. I hope it will be mature enough to produce a decent yield. Even though it will only have been growing for 4 weeks. By that time I expect most of the bud sites on the older plant to have grown through the trellis, and I should have a nice even canopy. The second plant will just be grown as is with very little training. I don't want to slow its growth at all.

Did some defol and a little Lollipoping this week to get light to the lower budsites. The Ethos cookies Rbx are my favorite's so far this run, they stacking up like crazy๐Ÿ‘Œ The Rosso Corsa, so far so good not stacking as nice as the Cookies, but she a verry sweet smelling stinky one, can't wait on this one Gorilla Breath, this is the one i did the most devol/lollipoping on, this little girl was bushy AF. ( excuse my French ) gonna keep a close eye on her this week deu to her Gorilla line-up ( Herm sensitive ) i might have went a bit to hard on her, time will tell. Rock on Growmies ๐Ÿ’š

I want to thank you Paul @New420GuySeeds for this beautiful plant. She's getting close to that time. I'm both excited and a little sad cuz we've done this grow together. Kinda a fucked up reality. Critical 47 has a few lower branches that are starting to drop due to the weight of the bud. I been curious if I could lop off some these baby branches at this stage without consequences.? Anybody know? Maybe sample the bud before the harvest.. would be nice. Ive been doing my best at snapshots of trichomes so I may get a better ETA of the due date. This will be my first ever to harvest anything more than a common cherry tomato. Lol. Any useful advice is welcome, start a chat if ya wanna!! I love company! And hey we already have a shared common interest! Gotta start somewhere. So critical 47 is sticky and smells up the whole house, no deficiencies noticed, growth has stopped as far as I can tell, yet she is still feeding without waste. I changed my regular fertilizer from the fox farm to Dr JimZ. With good results. The fox farm is a great fertilizer as well. I do mix the chicken soup for the soil with the fox farm trio. Cha Ching beastie blooms and open sesame. Dr. JimZ Bloom Kaboom is a once a month application for flowering plants. Good stuff. If I were to grow her again I would, an I would definitely put her in a larger container without the burlap sack. Don't use that crap it's no good. Lol. It's created a protective base under the soil for pests to dwell. I'm sure when I pull it all up there's gonna be a super complexed colony of mighty gnats, I think of some ancient Greece city with all the thrills and shit. Lol. Gnat overlords. My own damn fault. Gnats aren't that bad, they're just eating dead roots. There's definitely worse pests to have in the garden. "Nicole, how do you keep them so dark green?" Easy. I put used coffee grounds into my cannabis plants top soil. If I don't make a tea with it. You can find these helpful recipes @RoyalQueenSeeds with all the good info and instructions. I also make banana brew for my girls, it's rich with everything they need. Helps them grow strong. The coffee grounds help them maintain that healthy green glow (nitrogen). Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week. Take care.

Day 44 01/07/2025, I flushed with a quarter strength nutrient solution but kept with the usual does of cannazym and Rhizotonic as sure it could only help her, im experiencing some issues with yellowing and a few brown spots plus tip burn, I've never done an auto before and never considered that they might need less feed than a photoperiod, feel very stupid, so with that being considered I think it was probably for the best and will move forward with half strength feeds. I am also actually trying to get the night cycle in check as I've been advised of some processes that won't happen with the low VPD that I was allowing to happen at night, the dehumidifier works but also heats the room up to nearly daytime temps, it's a desiccant dehumidifier though and I think it just pumps out more heat, I'll have to reinvest in a more suitable dehumidifier Maybe the issue is too much calmag, it also has iron in it and an iron excess can cause a manganese deficiency, unsure.. I have had some heat issues over the last week hit 30c for a short time and has been consistently over 28c, I have kept the humidity higher to keep vpd in line but it's not great, this is just due to some very warm conditions in my area over the last week or so, and I just don't have the cooling capacity to deal with it, hoping things cool down a bit now so I can at least make sure temperature is ok..

08/27/2021 Been 7 days since last pictures. Pheno #4 was eliminated do to the fact she reversed (hermied) I believe that an outside light was at fault. ( lemon Thai) genetics maybe coming through. Others have not really been affected but pheno #2,3 may have been delayed a bit but no sign of hermies just not as developed as pheno #1(Hulk). Going to mix up a flowering tea (AACT) fungal dominant. Also topdress with Gypsum, and Diatomatious Earth before tea is applied. Gypsum Gypsum is calcium sulfate (CaSO4). Refined gypsum in the anhydrite form (no water) is 29.4 percent calcium (Ca) and 23.5 percent sulfur (S). Usually, gypsum has water associated in the molecular structure (CaSO4ยท2H2O) and is approximately 23.3 percent Ca and 18.5 percent S (plaster of paris). Diatomatious Earth Diatomaceous earth is a mineral-based pesticide and its composition is approximately 3 percent magnesium, 5 percent sodium, 2 percent iron, 19 percent calcium and 33 percent silicon, along with several other trace minerals 08/29/2021 Posted close ups of Hulk.

I like my grows to be simple, clean and efficient. The Mars 2000 plus RQS top-shelf genetics, combined with the super-simple RQS organic "Easy" line of nutes is making this beautiful grow! 6 strains, 6 healthy, thriving girls. I intentionally set 2 seeds at 3-4 intervals so I can rotate air space and have 2 harvested every 4 weeks. The organic Easy line of nutes is simple to use, clean, organic and delivers lush, healthy growth. No more mixing liquids. I feed sparingly but always give cal/mag with all waterings/feedings. I pH down water ONLY at the beginning (before feeding starts) or in between if pH runs high and I won't be feeding within 2-3 days. Feeding drops pH in coco and as nutes are consumed pH rises back to coco's neutral 7.0. Simple. I rarely water "till runoff". Lighter feedings mean less buildup. Clean. Abundant, tasty, smooth harvests is my goal and this combo delivers! I'm still enjoying last Fall's harvest of Green Gelato ๐Ÿ˜Ž

She's Growing in my special blend of ProMix potting mix, a 1/2 bag of Earthworm castings and 2 light handfuls of Diatomaceous Earth mixed Up well for before transplanted! Diatomaceous Earth: Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. WHAT IS DIATOMACEOUS EARTH? In a nutshell, DE comes from the fossilised remains of small marine organisms called diatoms. Over a 30 million year period, these hard-shelled algae collected on the bottom of bodies of water, eventually forming into a type of sedimentary rock. Fast forwarding, it wasnโ€™t until around 1836 that a German peasant Peter Kasten discovered the ivory-coloured, powdery substance while drilling a well in northern Germany. Ever since, the usefulness of DE for multiple purposes, including industrial and horticultural applications, has been well-reported. Just sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on top of your soil and watch mother nature's secret weapon work its magic.CONDITIONS THE SOIL When it comes to growing cannabis, everyone strives to provide the best soil to grow the best plantsโ€”but thereโ€™s always a way to make it even better. Making the soil a better medium is called soil conditioning, which is exactly what diatomaceous earth does. It works by improving the retention of moisture in your potting soil, holding a large amount of fluid and drying at a rate thatโ€™s much slower. This natural soil additive also helps to retain nutrients and allows for better oxygenation of the substrate. NATURALLY CONTROLS PESTS DE is an all-natural, safe-to-use substance that doesnโ€™t harm the cannabis plant with toxic chemicals. The nature of diatomaceous earth makes it useful against most types of insect infestation you might be experiencing; and unlike chemical insecticides, insects canโ€™t develop a resistance to the effects of DE. So once theyโ€™re gone, theyโ€™re gone for good. DE is an abrasive. and when used as an insecticide, it gradually scrapes away an insectโ€™s exoskeleton, absorbs the fluids, and dehydrates insects and other critters to eventual death. IMPROVES PLANT STABILITY When using DE in your soil, it can be especially beneficial as it frees up nutrients so that they are made available to the plants as needed. This works via the silica content of DE being absorbed into the plant tissue, which helps improve the plantโ€™s ability to respond and receive more nutrients as DE activates. This in turn results in greater yields and better stability under small pH fluctuations! https://divineseeds.net/ https://instagram.com/divine.seeds?igshid=osxe2v7en33v https://divineseeds.net/ Thanks Again to All my Friends, Family's, Teams, Sponsors, Followers and Subscribers!!!

11.01. day 105 Blรผte 63 . Chop. Schwere Arme voller Knospen. Definitiv. Mit dem Gewicht bin ich schonmal zufrieden. Eine Woche trocknen, dann gibt's den Ernte-Bericht. Mit smoke Review. Zur Ernte selbst: Yep, alles in Ordnung. รœberraschend war sie gar nicht crispy. Na klar ein paar Blรคtter, aber der Rest und vor allem die Knospen waren aber schรถn saftig. Harzig nicht sehr klebend, denn diese Trichome sind so hart, das sie abbrechen. Ob das gut ist? Ja. Begrรผndung: da ist weniger Wasser, mehr Harz dein. Nur frisches Harz klebt. Schaut euch nen Baum an. Altes Harz kann Mann heraus schlagen, fast so hart wie Glas. Bei frischen kleben die Finger. Macht's trotzdem, das riecht super. Aber nicht an den Klamotten abwischen. Die sind sonst ruiniert. Zum Geruch: ร„h รผberraschenderweise ziemlich zurรผckhaltend, aber ich habe auch keine der Knospen geรถffnet. Wahrscheinlich wird der Geruch von diesen Trichomen, die sehr eng beieinander sitzen eingeschlossen. Meine Tendenz liegt ohne Rauchbericht bei 9 Punkten. Pflanze gut, Buds gut, Jetzt noch Geschmack... 12.01. Oh, das hatte ich vergessen zu erwรคhnen. Dieser Grow lief unter verschรคrften Bedingungen. Stealth mit wenig Frischluft. Sie hat eine Invasion von Spinnmilben abgewehrt, durch ne andere Pflanze รผbertragen. Later: ich habe ne Knospe geknackt. Erst dran gerieben. Es roch nach Heu. Unglรคubig und etwas Enttรคuscht knackte ich ne Knospe. Puff, wie in einer Wolke aus Duft. Oh, das Riecht aber stark, und gut. Das habe ich nicht erwartet nach dem รคuรŸeren Geruch. Definitiv keine Geruchs Stealth Sorte. Eher HALLO NACHBARN MEIN NAME IST CANDY RAIN. OH๐Ÿ˜ณ So heftig? Ja. Der Geruch ist schwerlich zu beschreiben. Ungefรคhr so: erdig mentholig mit keine Ahnung gelato Haschisch Aromen? Nicht unangenehm aber รผberraschend stark und ausgeprรคgt. Das habe ich so nicht erwartet. Aber wer lesen kann, es folgt ein original Auszug Wenn Du Cannabis mit kรถstlich fruchtigen Dรผften und Aromen sowie einem ordentlichen THC-Kick magst, hast Du mit Candy Rain einen neuen Favoriten gefunden. So ist es. 13.11. Was ich total gut finde, Es machen die ja Grad mehrere. Alle die Toll geworden sind sehen sich sehr รคhnlich. Wie eineiige Zwillinge. Und von denen sieht meine Pflanze am hรคrtesten rann genommen aus. ( Mann kรถnnte auch sagen beschissen gepflegt sieht sie aus, aber das stimmt nicht. Die wollte einfach Krass sein. ) Ne Chance aufs gewinnen habe ich nur wenn die anderen Knospen nicht beim (harte Schale) knacken plรถtzlich in einer ziemlich heftigen Duft Wolke hรคngen. Wie ne Nebelgranate bei aktuellen shootern ( Games ). ( Kurz รผberleg ) ne eher wie ne flashbang. Puff, Alles riecht. Und ich habe noch nicht getestet. Das sind nur Impressionen, von ihr als Grower. ( Nein Leute ihr merkt es vielleicht, ich bin von diesem "Puff" schwer beeindruckt. Hatte ich noch nie. Ist heftig gewesen. Das Gegenteil von Dezent. Ich hรถre jetzt auf zu schreiben, warte auf das trocknen und melde mich dann mit Photos und nem Rauchbericht zurรผck) 17.01. Pre smoke Impressionen. 1. Nochmal machen, ansetzen 2. Nix machen beim smoken. 3. Ich bin so Fett das ich gerade ein Schlachtschiff im Hafen nicht finden wรผrde. 4. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜€ 5. Der Geschmack ist jetzt schon vollmundig zitronig wรผrzig lecker. 6.Ein Recht starker ( Nene, doch ), und das ist mir ganz wichtig "Angenehmer Turn". Voller Enthusiasmus machst du Dinge. Im Sitzen. Kein couch lock, eher so entspannend. Rauchst du mehr, oder grรถรŸer werden die Augen immer kleiner. Dein Atem wird ruhiger. Wie eine Sanfte Brise kommt die Mรผdigkeit. Atmest du sie ein, begrรผรŸt du sie sogar, Kommt ein sรผรŸer Schlaf. Aber Sanft fragt er. .. Einmal schรผtteln wie ein Hund, bumm bist du wach, und merkst, Oh doch couch Lock. ร„hem aber nur bei groรŸen . Bei normalem Konsum einfach nur Nett. Indica lastig und interessant. 7. Langer angenehmer Turn. 8. Jetzt bekomme ich Hunger. 9. Nicht online zocken. Gar nichts. Bei Shootern geht das aim fail. Bei Strategie Spielen macht Mann plรถtzlich soo doofe Fehler. Selbst bei Wow ( World of warships ) vergisst Mann plรถtzlich das vor einem nen Gegner ist. Nen SCHXXXX DICKES SCHLACHTSCHIFF. รœbersehen auf einmal. ..... Nen Schlachtschiff.... Vergessen. Kurz darauf schaute ich auf mein versinkendes Schiff.... 10. Ich hoffe der Rauchbericht ist in Ordnung. Das sind meine Impressionen von CANDY RAIN. Macht SpaรŸ 18.01. Im Trocknungszelt : noch nicht ganz trocken, aber sรผรŸ am Riechen ๐Ÿ˜..

Tropicana Cookies โ€” Week 2 Flowering Tropicana Cookies enters the second week of flowering displaying exceptional canopy development and a highly efficient plant structure. The stretch remains active but controlled, with the plant directing its energy toward the expansion of multiple flowering sites distributed evenly across the canopy. Among the tested plants, Tropicana Cookies continues to stand out for its impressive horizontal coverage and canopy density. The training applied during vegetative growth has created a broad, uniform structure that maximizes light interception while maintaining excellent airflow between branches. This balanced architecture is allowing numerous flowering sites to develop simultaneously throughout the plant. Flower initiation is now well established, with pistil production increasing across all primary tops and secondary branches. The plant exhibits strong lateral growth, creating a canopy packed with potential bud sites while maintaining excellent structural balance. Internodal spacing remains favorable, supporting future flower stacking without excessive elongation. The foliage remains healthy and vigorous, with strong leaf development supporting the plant through the stretch phase. Branches show excellent strength and positioning, creating a framework capable of supporting substantial flower production later in bloom. At this stage, Tropicana Cookies is demonstrating outstanding vigor, canopy efficiency, and floral development. Its combination of lateral expansion, branch uniformity, and abundant flowering sites suggests a highly productive flowering cycle with excellent yield potential in the weeks ahead. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŠ Seed: World Breeders Grower: Piperoots

๐ŸŒฟ Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 12 | The Tiny Pot That Somehow Grew a Giant ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Okay... I need to start this week's report with a confession. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I had an idea. A small-pot idea. An 11-litre pot. And at the time... I thought: "Yeah, this could be interesting." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Well... Let me tell you something. WHAT A FUCKING DUMBASS IDEA. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Because this girl apparently received the memo... and decided to completely ignore the size of the pot. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ Look at her. Seriously. LOOK AT HER. She's growing. She's bulking. She's stacking. She's building a main cola that makes me question my original life choices. And then she's doing the same thing with the side branches. And the side branches have side branches. And those branches have flowers. And suddenly I'm standing there looking at this beautiful monster thinking: "Why the hell did I put you in such a small pot?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ But... it is what it is. And that's actually part of the adventure. We learn. We evolve. We adapt. We document our decisions. Sometimes we make brilliant decisions. Sometimes... we make decisions that make us look at ourselves twelve weeks later and say: "Mate... what were you thinking?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ But the plant doesn't care. She doesn't care that I chose a tiny pot. She simply said: "Okay. I'll grow anyway." And grow she did. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ So this week... let's give this absolutely ridiculous little-pot Queen the spotlight. Because she has earned every bit of it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 12 โ€“ THE LITTLE POT THAT COULDN'T STOP HER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Last week we talked about how this girl was doing whatever the fuck she wanted. Well... that hasn't changed. ๐Ÿ˜‚ If anything... she's doubled down. She's still in that 11-litre pot. She's still growing. She's still developing. She's still stacking. And she's still becoming a plant that I honestly didn't expect to see coming from such a relatively small container. That's probably the biggest surprise of this entire phenotype for me. I knew she could grow. I knew she could flower. I knew she could become beautiful. But this? ๐Ÿ˜‚ This is beyond what I had pictured when I put that little pot under her. She's not behaving like a girl who received the memo saying: "You have limited space." She's behaving like: "That's your problem." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ And honestly... I respect it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE 11-LITRE POT REGRET CLUB โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Let's officially establish the problem. The 11-litre pot. ๐Ÿ˜‚? When the idea was born, it seemed like an interesting experiment. Could she do it? How would she develop? How would the plant express herself? And now... twelve weeks later... I'm looking at her thinking: "Yes. She can do it. She REALLY can do it." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The problem is that the plant didn't stay small. She didn't politely remain proportional to the container. She grew tall. She developed a beautiful structure. She created a serious main cola. She developed side branches carrying their own substantial flowers. And now she's basically turned my experimental little-pot idea into a weekly reminder that plants don't always read the plan. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ But that's okay. Because that's also what growing is about. We make decisions. We observe the results. We learn. We adapt. And then we do better next time. No shame. Just experience. And in this case... a beautiful fucking plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ LOOK AT THAT MAIN COLA โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Now... THIS deserves some attention. Because look at that main cola. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Seriously. Look at it. The structure. The length. The flower development. The way it's stacking along the main stem. The way the individual flower clusters are becoming more substantial. It's beautiful. And it's especially impressive when you remember where this plant is growing from. An 11-litre pot. ๐Ÿ˜‚? This is the kind of thing that makes you stop and stare. Because you can look at the plant as a whole and think: "Okay, she's beautiful." But then you isolate the main cola... and suddenly you realize just how much she's actually building. It's not just one pretty top. It's a complete flowering structure. And she's still developing. That's the part that gets me. She's not finished. She's still building. She's still bulking. She's still changing. And I'm sitting here thinking: "Girl... where are you getting all this from?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ AND THEN THERE ARE THE SIDE COLAS... โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And just when you think: "Okay, that main cola is impressive." You look around. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And the side branches start talking. "Hello." ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ There are beautiful flowering structures developing throughout the plant. Side branches carrying their own substantial colas. Different levels. Different angles. Different expressions. And together they're creating a really impressive overall architecture. This is something I particularly love about her. She's not relying entirely on that main cola. She's built an entire network of flowering branches. The main cola gets the spotlight. But the side branches are absolutely not supporting actors. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ They're part of the show. And they're putting on one hell of a performance. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S BULKING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the biggest change I'm noticing now. She's bulking. ๐ŸŒธโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒธโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒธ The flowers are gaining more presence. The structures are becoming fuller. The branches are carrying more visual weight. And the entire plant feels more substantial than it did just a few weeks ago. That's what makes the weekly photographs so valuable. Because if you only saw her today, you might simply say: "Beautiful." But we've been watching her develop. We've watched her go from: "Interesting little plant." to: "Okay, she's getting tall." to: "Wait... she's actually building some serious flowers." to: "WHAT THE HELL DID I PUT IN THAT 11-LITRE POT?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And now we're here. Week 12. And she's still going. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š SMALL POT โ€“ BIG PLANT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I think this might officially become her nickname. Small pot. Big plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘? Because that's exactly what she is. She's not small. The pot is. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There's a difference. And I think that's what makes this phenotype so fascinating. She has completely exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect this kind of size. I didn't expect this kind of structure. I didn't expect this kind of flowering development. And I definitely didn't expect to spend this much time thinking about how to manage a plant that I intentionally put into a small container. ๐Ÿ˜‚?๐ŸŒฟ But that's the reality now. She's big. She's beautiful. And she's doing incredibly well. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ SHE'S TEACHING ME SOMETHING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is one of those moments where the plant teaches the grower. And that's one of the things I love about growing. You can have a plan. You can have an idea. You can have expectations. And then the plant comes along and says: "No." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ Or: "Yes, but..." Or, in this girl's case: "Sure, I'll do your small-pot experiment... and then I'm going to grow much bigger than you expected anyway." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ And that's valuable. Because now I know something about this phenotype that I didn't know before. She's capable of becoming a substantial plant even in this particular setup. And instead of being annoyed with the original decision... I'm actually fascinated by the result. The mistake became part of the experiment. And the experiment became part of the story. That's the beauty of documenting everything. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT RESULT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course... she's still sharing the same room with everybody else. Same 8ร—8. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same nutritional foundation. Same irrigation system. Same overall approach. And yet... look at what she has become. That's genetics. The room gives the plants a common stage. But every plant interprets that stage differently. The same photons arrive. One plant stretches. Another stays compact. One develops unusual structures. Another builds huge flowers. One moves quickly. Another takes her time. And this girl? She's apparently decided to use those photons to build a giant flowering plant from a tiny pot. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Fair enough. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ THE LIGHTING UPGRADE IS STILL PART OF THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room continues with the expanded Future of Grow lighting setup. We added two additional Black Series 600W fixtures, giving us considerably more lighting capacity across the 8ร—8. Rather than simply running everything at maximum output, we've brought the fixtures down to approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug giving us around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And this girl has certainly found a way to use that light. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟโ˜€๏ธ She's got a tall, three-dimensional structure. Leaves at different levels. Branches reaching into different areas. Flowers developing throughout the canopy. And those photons are interacting with all of it. That's what I love about this room. It's not just about putting light on the top. It's about creating a three-dimensional environment where all these different plants can express themselves. And Amnesia Haze Pheno B is definitely expressing herself. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE STRUCTURE IS BEAUTIFUL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ When I look at the photographs this week, what really stands out is the structure. The main cola is impressive. But then you look around it... and there's another flower. Another branch. Another flowering structure. Another cola developing below. It's almost like she decided: "Since I'm already here... I might as well fill the whole damn plant." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ And I love it. She's not just tall. She's becoming substantial. The plant has developed a clear vertical architecture. And those side branches are contributing to the overall structure instead of simply disappearing underneath the main stem. That's what makes the whole plant look so impressive. It's balanced. It's layered. It's three-dimensional. And it's absolutely beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ SHE'S PERFECTLY HERSELF โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I've said this throughout the diary... but it becomes even more obvious now. She doesn't need to be her sister. She doesn't need to be the fastest plant in the room. She doesn't need to have the biggest pot. She doesn't need to follow anybody else's rhythm. She's Amnesia Haze Pheno B. And she's doing her thing. She's growing. She's bulking. She's stacking. She's developing those beautiful colas. And she's doing it in a way that has completely surprised me. That's what makes a phenotype memorable. Not necessarily that it follows expectations... but that it breaks them. And this girl has definitely broken mine. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE GROWER'S JOB CHANGES โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this stage, I'm also finding myself doing less. And that's intentional. The big structural decisions have already happened. The plant has built herself. Now we're entering that phase where the grower becomes more of a caretaker and observer. We look. We inspect. We support where needed. We adjust when something actually needs adjusting. And otherwise... we let the plant work. That's exactly what I'm doing with this girl. I'm not trying to reinvent her. I'm not trying to force her into another shape. I'm simply watching her develop. And when she needs help... she gets help. That's it. Sometimes the best thing we can do is leave a beautiful plant the hell alone. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ?

She's got substantial branches. She's got a serious main cola. She's got side colas everywhere. And gravity remains undefeated. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒ So we continue to support the plant where necessary. Not because something is wrong. Because she's built enough structure that the physical weight becomes part of the equation. The support isn't changing her. It's helping her carry what she has already created. And honestly... there's something satisfying about that. The plant did the work. We just give her a little helping hand. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THESE PHOTOGRAPHS TELL THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And these photographs? They're fantastic for showing exactly what I'm talking about. The close view gives us the main cola. You can see the flower structure. You can see the stacking. You can see the leaves surrounding the flowers. And then the wider view puts everything into context. Suddenly you see: "Oh..." She's not just got one beautiful cola. She's got a whole plant full of them. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ And that's the part I really wanted to highlight this week. Not just the size of one flower. The entire architecture. Main cola. Side colas. Branches. Flowers everywhere. A small pot supporting a plant that somehow decided to become much larger than expected. It's a beautiful contradiction. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ SAME ROOM โ€“ SAME NUTRITIONAL FOUNDATION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nutritional approach remains consistent with the rest of the room. ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm And again... we're not chasing the plant.

And otherwise... let her work. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 12 ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room remains broadly around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ?

This one. The beautiful Amnesia Haze Pheno B. Look at her. Now remember how you thought: "Let's try the smaller pot." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Well... you learned something. And that's the important part. We don't need to pretend every decision we make is perfect. Growing is experimentation. Sometimes the experiment works exactly as intended. Sometimes it works completely differently. Sometimes it gives you a result you didn't expect... and that result becomes more interesting than the original plan. That's where I am with this girl. Was the tiny-pot idea perhaps a dumbass idea? Absolutely. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Did the plant care? Apparently not. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ And that's what makes this so much fun. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿง  WE LEARN.

Every grow teaches us something. Every phenotype teaches us something. Every decision gives us another piece of information. And sometimes the lesson comes from something as simple as: "Maybe don't put such a big-growing plant in such a small pot." ๐Ÿ˜‚? Lesson received. But until this beautiful girl tells me otherwise... I'm just going to admire what she's done. Because she has absolutely smashed my expectations. And she's still going. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Honestly? More observation. More bulking. More flower development. More support when needed. More photographs. And probably... more moments where I stand in front of her thinking: "Seriously?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ We're going to keep watching the main cola. We're going to keep watching those side branches. We're going to watch how the flowers continue to develop. And we're going to let her decide how much more she wants to build. I'm not going to put a deadline on her. I'm not going to predict the finish. She's still writing the story. And right now... the story is damn beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE LITTLE POT, THE BIG GIRL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 12. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. And what can I say? She's fucking beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ She's growing. She's bulking. She's stacking. She's building an impressive main cola. She's developing beautiful side colas. She's filling her structure. She's becoming heavier. And she's doing all of this from an 11-litre pot. ๐Ÿ˜‚? I genuinely did not expect her to become this big. I didn't expect her to become this beautiful. And I definitely didn't expect to be standing here twelve weeks later looking at this plant and thinking: "How the hell did you do all that in there?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ But she did. And that's the beauty of the experiment. Sometimes the plant gives you exactly what you expected. Sometimes it gives you something completely different. And sometimes... it gives you a beautiful surprise that makes you question your own decisions while simultaneously making you incredibly proud. That's this girl. She's a surprise. She's a lesson. She's a beautiful phenotype. And she's absolutely doing her thing. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's give her the spotlight. Let's look at that main cola. Let's appreciate those side branches. Let's admire the stacking. Let's enjoy the flowers. Let's keep supporting her when she needs it. And most importantly... let's let her shine. Because this little-pot girl? She's anything but little. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘?๐Ÿ”ฅ And honestly... I couldn't be happier to be wrong about what she was going to become. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This 8ร—8 Adventure keeps teaching us something new. Twelve different plants. One shared environment. Different genetics. Different expressions. Different rhythms. And Amnesia Haze Pheno B? She's teaching me something very specific: Maybe don't put a plant like this in an 11-litre pot. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ But... we learn. We evolve. We adapt. And we keep going. Because despite my questionable pot-size decision... look at what she has become. A beautiful, substantial plant. A serious main cola. Beautiful side branching. Flowers everywhere. Bulking. Stacking. Growing. Shining. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching that main cola. Let's watch those side colas continue to develop. Let's support her when she asks. And let's see just how far this little-pot experiment can go. Because apparently... the 11-litre pot was merely a suggestion. ๐Ÿ˜‚?๐Ÿ‘‘ She had other plans. Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where we learn from our mistakes, adapt to our surprises, and occasionally discover that the "small pot" plant... isn't small at all. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ

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, whatโ€™s the point of a job if it gets in the way of growing? ๐Ÿ˜‰ In the end, everything worked out, and I gained invaluable experience. This was my first grow using coco coir. At first, I didnโ€™t get it, but then it just clicked! Now Iโ€™m hooked: "Iโ€™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, donโ€™t forget CalMag! Next time, Iโ€™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, itโ€™s hard to manage temperature and humidity. The plant releases so much moisture that RH jumps to 80% within minutes. Itโ€™s doable, but definitely a challenge. --- On Magnetic Fields No clue whatโ€™s happening here yet, but itโ€™s fascinating! Iโ€™ll test again with a control sample. --- Nutrients Dreams do come trueโ€”Iโ€™ve tested almost everything Advanced Nutrients offers. It wasnโ€™t all smooth sailing; their feeding charts need adjustments for your conditions, and you usually need to feed less than recommended. Overall, Iโ€™d say the nutrients performed 100%, and I see no reason to switch. Iโ€™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 champโ€”especially mold. Despite an abandoned SCROG plan turning the plant into a bouquet, there wasnโ€™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 Iโ€™m leaning toward bergamot. Bergamot with a classic weed aromaโ€”a recognizable twist on the usual scent. During the grow, the smell was strong, but the carbon filter handled it perfectly. --- Flavor Itโ€™s too early to say, but the flavor is definitely there! Embarrassingly, all my past harvests tasted the sameโ€”like nothing. Just smoke. This one has a distinct sour taste. Iโ€™m excited to see how it develops after curing. --- Effect Too early for a full review, but I love what Iโ€™ve tried so far. The high lasts about three hours, with euphoria and relaxation. Itโ€™s the perfect evening strain. Iโ€™ve smoked a lot over the years, but Iโ€™ve never experienced true euphoriaโ€”until now. Guess Iโ€™ve been stuck with garbage and ditch weed before. ๐Ÿ˜… Itโ€™s not a strain for productivity or chores, but itโ€™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 healthyโ€”maybe too healthy! While the AirPot (20L) prevented root circling, it didnโ€™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 couldnโ€™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, Iโ€™ll mix some pumice with the substrate at the bottom, about 3โ€“4 cm deep. --- Timelapse I only got the timelapse running after the switch to flowering, so itโ€™s not from the beginning. Still, itโ€™s an incredibly useful tool for understanding growth rates. Iโ€™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 doesnโ€™t support it by default. --- Whatโ€™s Next Iโ€™ve grown fat buds before, but Iโ€™ve always neglected curing. This time, Iโ€™m doing it by the book with full control. Drying in the grow box with RH controlled at 50โ€“60% (averaging 55%) for a slow, even dry. Temps are kept between 20โ€“23ยฐC, with frequent venting to keep it below 21ยฐC for terpene preservation. After 7โ€“10 days, when small stems snap with a characteristic sound, Iโ€™ll trim and jar them with humidity sensors. For the first two weeks, Iโ€™ll burp the jars twice daily, then reduce to once daily for the next two weeks. After that, Iโ€™ll monitor the RH sensors and adjust as needed. Iโ€™ll share the details after curing is complete. After drying, Iโ€™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, Iโ€™m taking a breather, fine-tuning my setup, and preparing for my next grow: Wizard Trees - Zangria S1.
