Lleva 35 dias a 12/12 horas y cada dia se ve mas bonita!! Ha estirado mucho en esta semana y sigue llenándose de resina a pesar de haber bajado un poco las temperaturas por la noche. Estoy muy contento con el ritmo que lleva :)

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

Ende Woche 4 / Anfang Woche 5 – Grow Diary Mimosa x 🍊👊🏻 Barney’s Farm Die beiden haben nochmal ordentlich Stretch hingelegt 💪 Seit die Runtz raus ist (Ernte lief sauber durch), wirkt das Zelt jetzt etwas leer – aber gibt den Mimosas schön Platz, sich voll zu entfalten. Die ersten Blütenstempel kommen jetzt richtig stabil durch, genau so will man das sehen 🔥 Wenn das so weitergeht, werden das am Ende richtig schöne Ladies. Klima bleibt weiterhin im sweet spot – weder zu feucht noch zu trocken, Temperatur passt auch konstant. Genau so hält man sie happy in der Phase. Bis jetzt wieder mal sehr zufrieden mit dem Run und der Genetik von Barney’s 👌 Happy Growing Growmies 🌱?💚

Nice strain to grow overall especially for the terps it produced, yield was more on the low side as expected from one for these "hype" strains or whatever you want to call them.

Holy fucking shit. I upped the E.C. to around 1.9 and it seems she LOVES it. Since the change (from 1.2 to 1.8) she suddenly draws 5L of water a day and the buds are starting to form. I can clearly already see the typical "cali" US genetics on this plant and i'm very excited to see that develop! Pretty sure i could have achieved the same state with only 6 weeks of veg, but i had to veg her longer for some other plants. Im curious, what she will yield, if someone can guess, i would be happy Take care of yourself, this will be a banger grow!

Good 🦍, nice looking AutoBuds, Upper buds are ready, did some serious defoliation, maybe a bit too much 😁, I was on a row, planning to cut soon, give some extra light to the lower buds, looking forward to dry and smoke this Gorilla glue,

12.04.21 heute is Anfang der 4. Woche nach dem flip bin begeistert von den Ladys sie sind obwohl sie so viel stress mit machen mussten fleißig am blutenstände produzieren die trichom Produktion hat auch gut eingesetzt jedes mal wenn ich die Blätter unters netz schiebe und wenn ich gegen die Blüten komme kleben meine Hände und wenn das passiert verströmt sie einen angenehm cremigen Duft nach zitrone fast schon limoncello artig....... 13.04.21 hab heute mal wieder gegossen und wie immer jeden morgen Blätter unten halten sonnst war nix weiter.... 14.04.21 moin leute der trottel des Tages ist wieder da hab mir heute (2 Tage nach dem gießen) meine gedanken gemacht bezüglich des absetzen der dünge Zusätze aufgrund von Green Sensation hab gedacht 4 in eins dann kann der rest ja weg und bin heute mal zufällig drauf gekommen beim Hersteller auf der Homepage zu gucken und siehe da ich trottel hätte sugar royal ganz normal weiter laufen lassen können werde es dann beim nächsten Guss wieder mit einschieben. Hab heute den Reflektor auf ganz weit gestellt damit ich mit der Lampe weiter runter komme bin jetzt heute auf 30cm an die spitzen gegangen und werde am Freitag weitere 5 cm nach unten gehen also auf 25 cm an die spitzen ran fahren da ich bei offenem wing und 30 cm nur 23,5 Grad an den spitzen habe solange die Pflanzen keine Stress Erscheinungen auf 25cm erleiden und die Temperatur stimmt bleib es dann auch auf 25 cm bis zur Spülung... 15.04.21 habe doch heute schon die Lampe auf 25 cm gesetzt bin wieder zu ungeduldig 24std hat der Tag das ist einfach zu lang für meine Geduld 😁 hab sonnst nur wie immer dafür gesorgt das alles an blattwerk sich unterm netzt hält.... 16.04.21 hab es heute mal nur laufen lassen und beobachtet was die Blätter so machen muss morgen eindeutig wieder ran und unters netz stopfen 😒😒.... 17.04.21 hab heute wieder die Blätter unters netz gestopft sonnst weiter nix los gewesen. Die Ladys halten die 25cm Lampen Abstand ganz gut aus bis jetzt, Temperatur liegt bei 25,4 Grad also noch vertretbar denke ich. Mal gucken was die Ladys bis Montag zum Licht druck sagen, wenn die spitzen heller werden geh ich zur not lieber wieder nen Stück hoch mit der Lampe..... 18.04.21 hab heut das gleiche wie jeden Tag gemacht, ich hab versucht die Welt-Herrschaft an mich zu reißen 😁😁, ne spass bei seite wie immer Blätter drücken und giessen war heut auch dran. Die Woche lief auch wieder erstaunlich gut hab zwar noch ne ganze ecke vor mir mit den Ladys aber ich bin zuversichtlich......

06/06 - As per the most recent update both ladies are thriving accordingly - I will be dropping a 3rd net for added canopy/light coverage throughout the colas and rootzone - I will also be increasing the nutrient ingredient dosage on the Silica to assist with feed intake - I will be flipping them both into flower about in about 2 maybe 3 weeks. 😎😎😎😎😎.. Follow me on IG:Greenphoenix6262 06/07 - These are thus far the biggest plants of grown (VEG) (Much love to @SensiSeeds for the genetics) to date - With consistent feeding using the @VIVOSUN smart drip emitters and the phenomenal @ACINFINITYINC CLOUDRAY S9 grow tent fan I have been able to increase plant development by at least 40% - They are approx. 3ft width thanks to the LST and dropping the net I have been able to open them up for better light exposure - Another piece of equipment that has been vital are the @ACINFINITYINC IONBEAM S11, 11” Supplemental LED Grow Light Bars, they provide the middle/bottom half of the plant with light in which would be a lost because of the canopy of the plants blocking the light from above. With proper genetics, dependable and effective equipment with patience growing monsters is now a part of my routine. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 06/10 - I laid down a 3rd net for extra coverage though out the plant and did some light trimming underneath to remove sucker steams and larf - Running the hunidifier on high (82%) to help the plant recover from the pull down and light defol - I have also increased the nutrient feed (Nitro Silica) to also assist with rebound and recovery - I will be giving the res about 1 maybe 2 more Veg feeds before clean water flush before flipping. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎.. Peace and Bud!! 06/12 - Ending week 8 Veg on a good note - Both ladies have stretched out beautifully and are coming along without any issues - The plan was to grow them out a bit in the 3x3 but they have grown larger then expected so they will be run through harvest in the 3x3 - Gave them a lite defol yesterday and pumped up the humidifier all in preparation for the flip. Flushing out this weekend with clean water while they transition into pre-flower.
