GrowDiaries Update: Blütewoche 7 – Bruce Banner im Gewächshaus Titel des Updates: Das 2-Meter-Monster: Brutales Blüten-Stacking ohne Topping! Der aktuelle Status: • Genetik: Bruce Banner (Phänotyp zeigt perfekte Sativa-Vitalität mit extrem kompakter Indica-Blütenstruktur) • Reifestadium: Ende Blütewoche 6 (gezählt ab den ersten sichtbaren Härchen) / Beginn Blütewoche 7 • Abmessungen: Höhe: 2,00 Meter | Spannweite: 1,60 Meter von Seite zu Seite • Fläche des Blütendachs (Canopy): Fast 2 Quadratmeter reines, dichtes Blütenmeer im Scrog-Netz. 🔎 Detaillierte botanische Analyse für dieses Update: 1. Das Fundament und die Struktur (Die „No-Topping“-Methode) Das absolute Geheimnis hinter der enormen Vitalität dieser Pflanze liegt an ihrer Basis. Der Hauptstamm wurde nie beschnitten (getoppt). Dadurch blieb die natürliche Apikaldominanz der Pflanze komplett intakt, und die inneren Leitungsbahnen wurden nicht durch Narbengewebe blockiert. Der Stamm ist über der Erde extrem massiv verholzt und gleicht einem jungen Baum. Es wurden frühzeitig lediglich drei starke Seitentriebe („Beine“) selektiert, die den Haupttrieb unterstützen. Um die Energie perfekt zu kanalisieren, wurden die unteren 50 bis 60 cm komplett freigeschnitten (Lollipoppen). Diese „Clean Zone“ hat alle unproduktiven Saugstellen eliminiert. Zudem sorgt sie im herbstlichen Oktober für eine perfekte Bodendurchlüftung, weshalb das Gewächshaus trotz Regenwetter im Inneren komplett trocken und schimmelfrei bleibt. 2. Das Scrog-Netz und die Flächennutzung Durch das Stütznetz wurden der Haupttrieb und die drei massiven Beine perfekt in die Breite gelenkt. Auf einer Spannweite von 1,60 m wurde so ein makelloses, horizontales Blütendach geschaffen. Die Lichtausbeute im Gewächshaus ist phänomenal: Da die Triebe perfekt im Raum verteilt sind, bekommen selbst die tiefer sitzenden Knospen unterhalb des Netzes massiv Licht und hängen voller frischer, weißer Stempel (Pistille). Es gibt an dieser Pflanze praktisch keine minderwertigen „Popcorn-Buds“. 3. Die Blütenentwicklung (Analyse am Zollstock) Ein Blick auf den Zollstock zeigt das brachiale Ausmaß der Blütenkelche: An den einzelnen Trieben zieht sich ein durchgehendes Blüten-Skelett über eine Länge von 40 bis 50 cm nach oben! Die Pflanze zeigt ein phänomenales „Stacking“ – die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Blütenetagen (Internodien) existieren kaum noch. Die Knospen drücken sich jetzt schon gegenseitig in die Breite. Am Ende von Woche 6 sind die Buds bereits extrem fleischig und kompakt. 4. Harzbesatz und Pflanzengesundheit Die Blätter stehen perfekt im Saft und zeigen ein sattes, gesundes Dunkelgrün ohne jegliche Mangelerscheinungen oder Überdüngungssymptome. An den kleinen Zuckerblättern rund um die Knospen zeigt sich jetzt schon ein ausgeprägter, silbriger „Frost-Schleier“ aus dichten Trichomen. Die Genetik schlägt voll durch und verspricht ein extremes THC- und Aromen-Potenzial in den kommenden finalen zwei Wochen. Die Pflanze steht vor einer brutalen Gewichtsexplosion!

Day 43 since seed touched soil. Hard week past. Those long not drinking days when cycle was taking 8 days to dry out made damage, i still see magnesium, but now added some rusty spots and i cant understand is it calcium or my spraying of Leaf Coat and burn. No spray this week, will check if new will appear. Because of troubles i postponed flip and top up till next watering. It should be in 4-5 days. Done huge clearing, few more new ties added, reajusted old. 3.5 liters of 6.3 phed dechlorinated water went in after training. Joe is damaged most, develops slowly, Twins definitely bigger by mass. Picky strain looks like ;) Planing to install scrog this week too. Mars Hydro TSL2000 is on 70% output, thinking to increase it with flip to 75. Light is working fine , really covers all space , great affordable light for colder climate. Day 45. Girls recovered from training very nice ! In few days flip . Day 47. Girls got top up. Put first level of scrog. Flipped to 12/12, tent is rammed ;) light output on 75%, 4 liters of 6.3 phed water went in. Top up was dosed, mixed well and laid on top, then i rough and mix top lair of soil with top up and only then i water. All pots are 30 litres ( grams and ml , have in mind ) : Ecothrive - Biosys - 5 ml / pot Ecotrive - Charge - 120 ml / pot Ecothrive - Life Cycle - 60 g. / pot Ecothrive - Bio Blend - 200 ml / pot. Think this will be my standart top up, i run out of Great White, have for one top up, will do it in 2-3 waterings seperately from all. Planning to repeat same top up at begining of week 4 of flower. Girls look better without spraying, most prob burn from too intense light, despite me giving 30-60 min of reduced to minimum after spraying. From now on - only when lights off. Will apply in few days, think Saturday. Happy Growing !!!

The only thing I did was defoliation and fed her the power bloom, all purpose, and worm castings. Top dressed nutrients and fertilizer. I made the Recharge Tea once a week and added molasses in between the tea.

What a week. First off these girls are way to damn small to be 8 f'n weeks in. But I've delt with about 2 weeks of very hot weather eary on. The water temp got up to 85 that I know of. So it fried the roots. I discovered hydrogen peroxide little to late but it has helped. I really thought I was gonna lose a couple this week but they are doing much better. I got my new grow tent lights in. Using them on the main grow room until I get the other new light built but thatbwont be for some time. The other light is almost done. I've got the new pvc pipe frame made. Yaya I know cheap. But hey that's why I did it. I just ordered to more light setups. That puts me at $300 for this light alone. But damn it is so Brite. Right now with just 6 lights on high its at 283watts. I'm adding 2 more that should put me around 376 Watts for a 5x5. These are the large cog legs. I have 3500 wave length ones. I also built a cloner. Shout out to @icanthc for one of his videos that gave me the inspiration to build my own with improvements. I've had bad luck with clones so far so I hope this will help. I'm going to cut down CDG#2. She so damn far behind. I will get 3 cloned out of her. Fingers crossed.

2018-03-20 Week 12 Day 1 New week and not much to say. No water or nutes today, just the regular weekly check to see that they look nice and healthy. Raised the lamp about 10 cm to make sure that the girls don't get burned again. Crazy Cookies nr1 is 52 cm Crazy Cookies nr2 is 49 cm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strain information: The word synergy is a business term first quoted in the early eighties to describe mutual enhancement through interaction or cooperation, where the end result gained is greater than the sum of the parts used. What do synergy and the Crazy Cookies cannabis strain have to do with each other you may well ask? The parents of the forthrightly indica Crazy Cookies are marijuana royalty. OG Kush and Girl Scout Cookies. These strains of contemporary legend have been combined to cerebrum shattering effect. The cured flowers deliver a mouth-watering and couchlocking 24% THC. The initial delectable spacey upbeat onrush compliments of the Durban Poison coursing through the genes of the Cookies soon becomes a lush and rich, inescapably delicious body flux. There should be a picture of a Crazy Cookie nugget in the dictionary next to the word synergy. Crossing the OG back into the Cookies has amplified the psychoactive effects of the notorious lineage of both parents. This is an indica with a capital I. As a breeder it would be fair to assume that injecting more OG into the Cookies would result in an OG-dominant Cookie, or even close to a pure OG, but something else has happened. Some long dormant genetic switch has been flipped and a standalone indica has emerged whose spicy notes and earthy tones, hints of grape and horny pheromone are an absolute pleasure. Paying this breed some careful attention as it grows will reward you substantially, indoors or out. Typical hybrid vigour is shown throughout each grow phase. Stout plants to 80cm can be expected indoors and muscular examples with fluted stalks growing to two metres can be easily achieved outdoors. Good bracing is necessary as the flowers mature. With more than 500g at harvest per robust plant, colas can easily snap and twist branches. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 1 again this week. Next week will move up the ppm more and start on bud enhancers. More microbes and sweetener this week. Silica ppm also increasing now as not looking to bend branches much more now. Have a hole in the canopy that I am just going to need to live with. GSCHB and MM2 did not growth as expected. They are not reaching up as tall as the others and stretch is slow. Not looking like they will catch up in next couple of days☹️☹️☹️ Little more detail.......

Day 58 of flower, and I've officially started the flush! Overall, I'm really happy with how things are looking, but I’m a bit gutted about all the larf below that isn’t getting good light. A lot of the lower growth is going to end up as cookies, but it’s a lesson learned! Next time, I’ll be more aggressive with removing small, weak branches and focusing on the main colas. I’m also planning to flip around day 40 of veg while they’re still small since this Gorilla Glue stretches like crazy once it hits flower, Excited to see how these buds ripen over the next week and the colors they bring!

last week i got a lot of tips and tricks from some awesome growers on this platform. they shared a lot i didn't knew before which i'm trying to implement to my grow. i bought a jar of dark molasses which i will be using throughout the watering of the plants. i'll be using 1,5-2 spoons on 5 Liters of water. they will stimulate the soil microbes and give me the nutes my plants began missing during the last weeks. i haven't add that much photo's this time, do you like it like this or should i add more? and what kind of photo's? the plants from left to right in the picture and the current height of the plants are: gorilla breath 1#: 212 cm gorilla breath 2#: 208 cm Sapphire scout: 198 cm Sugar breath 1#: 195 cm Sugar breath 2#: 180 cm

Day16 since flip: A good growth week for the stretching girls.There have been no issues with them at all and they are feeding well.No signs of any deficiency still and no environment probs. C Banana is stretching to reach the developing canopy well now and has helped form a nice field of buds. She is a very bushy plant below too and has taken to the training out very well. Like her stable mates , she needs a good haircut to get some light to the best looking potential colas and get the air moving within her too. Monster Zkittelz is now certainly getting monstrous, nice thick limbs covered in developing mains , creating a huge bud filled canopy of around 2.5ftx2ft. She is a beautiful plant to look at and will e able.to spread herself nicely at the back of the grow room. She is beginning to match the huge Fast Buds Fast Flowering #7 girl next to her for her dominance too. One to watch here I think. Easy to train and happy to stay put too it seems. Be safe Growmies.

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
