Look what I can doooooobie

Solo una semana más. Domingo 19 se cosecha... Plantas muy hermosas.

In the bag ladies. HID on 600W now, Airtube on the floor, first time I do this so I just bought it. I install it, don't feel any air coming through any holes, I call the store and they give me this: "We ran out of perforated air tube, you need to poke some holes yourself, we'll refund it" 😂 I mean, what! No time to waste so I did poke holes myself but..man! In-fan was running hot obviously. Glad I caught that on time. Feeding to 1.6 EC, one shot of enzyme this week, rootjuice. first watering with Aptus Soil Attack to prevent soil critters. 15 liter bags with Biobizz All Mix (I ordered Supreme but hey...ffs) Can't go wrong with Biobizz though. This is going to be a short week probably because I want to switch to 12. Just want to have the roots settled in their new home and then B(L)OOM!

Topped again today. These plants are exactly where I want them to be at this stage and look in perfect health. These two surviving clones are now at the front and right in the timelapse video. Had to go out of town for a week which is why there was a little standing water in the video. Don't usually do this but was rushing before heading out for a few days. Will be interesting to see how these clones take to the additional nutrients in this harvest. The mother was only fed Vitalink A & B for the entire cycle without any additional feed and is a beautiful smoke. Looking forward to seeing what feeding with the entire Vitalink range can do with these great RQS genetics according to their recommended feeding schedule. Happy growing!

Turned the Autopots on, Papaya had a slight issue due being popped two days later she ain’t drinking as Much as the others, adjusted the pH in the system by getting the water out the trays, adjusting the Reservoir and opening the valve again. Pics from 18.9. Will keep ya updated. 21.09 they are bushin up nicely time to get them a fresh fade - did a pretty hard defoliation won’t be doing another until it’s before flower, will add a trellis net in about 2 weeks

***** Week 12 growth - February 20 to 26, 2021 - Week 3 Flower ***** This girl has been happy all week and praying hard.....she’s just a shorter girl😂 However, she had a god growth week and her top cola is reaching up tall and proud! Another sign that she just needed more Veg time for consistency across the canopy is all. She was fed some fulvic acid on Monday to encourage stretch through Gold Storm at 5ml/L🤞 Her tricombs have come on strong as well at the end of the week. Her buds are not that large yet but she seems to feel to almost be 5 or 7 days behind the other girls??? She was stripped of a number of leaves, a couple of lower branches and bud sites this week. She has some good internode spacing and it’s allowing some more light down lower. Thinking she is going to be more of nugs rather than colas? Here leaves are up hard so hard that the increase in light intensity at the end of the week will only benefit this girl given her distance from the light. Light is at 20” and pulling 480 watts at the end of the week. Stated off with 400 watts at the start of the week but keep pushing it up this week. I don’t want to break 1,000 to 1,100 PAR by very much as I am not supplementing with true CO2. I have an Exhale bag to raise it a couple hundred ppm. Feel the need to keep the intensity high for penetration lower in the canopy. Will lower the amount of time in daylight if stress gets too high. Push to 11/13???? Nutrients are following IPP HOG 3 Part pretty closely. Just playing with macro nutrient ratios but otherwise supplements are at full week dosages following week 3. Have been seeing great resin production last runs so staying with Rezin as part of their feed schedule in flower. Terpinator......I think I see a lot of sulfer benefit here so it stays in the grows as well. Recharge seems to be working out well but we did the change mid grow from Microbial Mass. Since in coco have to feed the microbes so they reproduce and really dig Nature’s Candy with Remos additives in there👍 To help keep the root zone clean we add Enzymes😃 I have been debating a lot lately about the addition of CalMag to these nutrient lines and it’s necessity but since in coco I keep adding some......noticed a couple of spots on MM2 so have added it back in a bit more this week. Little more detail....... Feb 20/21 - Day 15 - Full feed today.....it’s been five days. - tap water with Silica @ 1.5ml, IPP line at full strength. - 1400ppm and 6.1pH - This girl was given some fulvic acid in Gold Storm. Help with giving her a chance to reach higher. - 5ml/L added to feed for 1490ppm and 6.1pH - help her grow taller. Feb 21/21 - Day16 - Dry out day Feb 22/21 - Day 17 - watering with supplements and light feed today. We are in mid flower now.....need to keep the macro nutrients up. - Epsom salts @ 1 Tbsp in 20L. Purple on stems is getting prominent......could be cold temps but also giving magnesium. - Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, grow @ 1ml, micro @ 2ml, bloom @ 2.5ml, Recharge @ 1 Tbsp in 20L. - 1400ppm and 6.0pH. - 4L Feb 23/21 - Day 18 - keeping up the silica this watering - silica @ 1ml, CalMag @ 1ml, Ultimate B+ @ 1ml - 600ppm and 6.0pH - 3L Little to no runoff this watering. Feb 24/21 - Day 19 - full feed again today.....girls are big and growing hard......keep it going💪 - IPP line as listed for full line. - Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml - 1425ppm and 6.0pH - they are taking the high ppm feeding well. Feb 25/21 - Day 20 - Had some feed water left from yesterday. Added plain tap water to get 20L. - 810ppm and 6.1pH - 1.5L......don’t want to over saturate the medium. Feb 26/21 - Day 21 - Nothing today. - Will feed early tomorrow as it’s Saturday. - Let the root zone get some oxygen is my thought and water to nice runoff first thing in morning. Week 3 behind us and going into 4.....middle of flower and girls are feeding hard. Pushing the lights hard now as well so need to keep the ppm up👍 Looking good ETS....she has reached up there and doing very well😎

One with a topping the other one just LST both huge yield!🦖 For the smell its cookie dough,lemon & diesel🍪🍋⛽️ Super sticky buds 🤩

End of Week 9 of Flowering! I skipped Week 8 because I literally had no time for an update, but not much changed anyway. Temperatures spiked brutally - during Week 8, my growbox hit 32°C (90°F). To compensate, I dimmed the light to 75% power and raised it to about 60 cm above the canopy. This kept temps around 29°C (84°F), with occasional peaks at 31°C (88°F). Gotta say, the ventilation helps a ton, and I avoided any "foxtailing." Since mid-Week 8, I’ve cut all nutrients and only fed pH’d water at 6.2. The plants are still drinking, and under the 60X jeweler’s loupe, they clearly need more time. Most trichomes are still clear/milky, with very few amber ones—especially on the leaves rather than the buds. I’m a bit worried the heat might’ve delayed ripening. A good sign, though: the natural yellowing of leaves suggests we’re nearing the end of the cycle. The Sensi Stars (supposedly 8-week flowering time) still need longer, despite having the fattest, densest buds of the bunch. For now, I’m sticking to plain water and checking trichomes daily, hoping to chop some plants soon. Pics are below - though I couldn’t get decent loupe shots (blame my phone’s potato cam and the tiny lens size, lol xD). Shoutout to all you legends! Catch you next update. Peace! ✌️

Eata semana comprende del 9/11 hasta el 15/11 Voy a cambiar el fotoperiodo a floración el dia 17/11 Está semana subí la luz al 100% de potencia, he continuado con algunas podas de hojas ocasional Baje a 2.0 de EC y me mantengo entre 5.5 y 5.8 de pH

Day 64 - Starting week 10 and haven’t really had any issues so far. She’s definitely a lengthy girl and hoping the bud development will catch up to her soon. She’s frosty as hell all over and it’s looking like she’s gonna need some water and nutes in the next day or two. Day 65 - Gave the girl 2 gallons of water and nutes today and she’s still chugging along nicely. She’s still budding nicely but not sure how well she’s going to develop them with how lengthy and spacing between everything but I’m sure things will work just fine. Day 66 - Everything is going good with girl still. She’ll have some more room to stretch outward come this weekend when I chop a plant. Other than that just watching her buds frost over and grow. She’s a bit behind with the watering schedule but will still be getting some by Wednesday. Day 67 - All still looking good and buds are still forming and fattening. Definitely getting nice and frosty all over and she’s smelling amazing. She won’t be needing any water tomorrow like my other two but should be ready on Wednesday. Other than that, just keeping the leaves tucked to keep her as opened as possible. Day 68 - I thought she still had some time before giving her water and nutes but she was dry today and gave her 2 gallons. She’s got more room to stretch out now that I put my Cherry Cookies into 72 hours of darkness. Day 69 - Nearing the end of week 10 and everything is going great. She’s good on water for a few days and just took her out for a few updated pics. She’s back in the tent and tucked the leaves some more. She already unbelievably frosty already and can’t wait to see her when the buds really start getting fat. Day 70 - The end of week 10 and all is looking good! Just letting her do her thing and fatten and frost up. She’s definitely still got several weeks left and another couple of days until she needs more water.

October 16, 2021 Both girls looking yellow and burnt. Overwatered and possibly underfed. I did let the soil dry out then added a 1/2 gallon of water that was mixed with Neptune's Harvest Fish and Seaweed (this stuff smells awful). Let's see what happens. I also think my Recharge has gone bad - its not bailing me out like it usually does. I contacted Real Growers and they are sending me a replacement. Awesome customer service!!!

6th week feel like buds are slowly fattening but not much. Shorter plant I did LST buds look better than on my taller plant which I topped HST plus trained.

Welcome to week 5 of flower! Things are moving along and where gaining mass on the flowers daily! With some of the plants starting to fade into a nice purple in their leaves I can only imagine at the end in 4-5 weeks! With every passing day I get more and more excited by the characteristics on the plants! Huge shout outs to @MarsHydroLED for making outstanding gear for growers to use and enjoy! HUGE shout outs to @Seedsman , @PyramidSeeds and @GreenHouseSeedCo for making outstanding genetics that pump great medicine! Huge shout outs to all my followers and people who stop in to the diary to check it out alike! Keep inspiring to grow! Follow along and stay tuned this shows getting juicier by the day! -The Projexx Day#29F Pictures N/A. Ladies are starting to focus on bulking more or less now. Day#30F Pictures N/A. Fade on Kings Juice#2 is starting to really come in now. Day#31F Some of the pistols are starting to turn orange now. Still lots of time left on the cycle. Day#32F Pictures N/A. Fuel D.og 1 and 2 are starting to pump some mass now! Day#33F Fuel D.og#2 is still yellow but she's not getting worse or better, it may be something I can't control as I can't come up with any solutions to the issue. Installed the first net. May install another. Day#34F Pictures N/A. Flowers are thickening up and starting to give off their scent really well now. Day#35F Pictures N/A. Cleaned up the bottoms of the plants abit more as well as took away some leaves blocking light to flower sites. Recap: Things went well this week the ladies are pumping trichomes and weight won't be long till we see some real thick flowers. Over all really pleased with this run so far!

Day 38 since flipping and I'm loving what I see. This girls LOVES to eat so I had to switch my feeding cycle to feed, feed, water, instead of feed, water, water. The strong orange citrus aroma is oh so lovely! In the next couple of weeks she should start packing on more weight. I can tell that they are heavy already just but the swaying of the cola from air circulation. I think I messed up by removing my scrog net but I'll tie her up and give her support as needed!

Week 3 G14 everything is great I've increased the biobizz to 2ml still adding nitrozyme once a week and a little cal mag I've tied the top in a pony tail for 24/48hrs so branches underneath stretch I used a covid mask string very handy 17th added a net but the holes are a little small and it increases humidity so I've removed it.if your running a mars or any Chinese lights as you know they run hot and increase humidity check out video for a simple hack.

Mother Gorilla is a new and improved version of Royal Madre. The strain is a cross between Reina Madre (Queen Mother) and Gorilla Glue (GG # 4). As with any cross, the offspring have pronounced Reina Madre as Gorilla types and everything in between. Reine Madre has a complex terpene profile with sweet, sour and spicy aromas. However, the buds are rarely pronounced sweet or sour. The vast majority of the plants are rather spicy. However, it is difficult to give a specific description of this spicy aroma. When smoking, you can recognize it by its specific taste. The Gorilla specifications are also there: high in THC and the fantastic aromas of pine, chocolate and diesel. Mother Gorilla has a stimulating sativa-dominant effect. Energy and excitement without being overwhelming. A stimulating and creative effect. Euphoric at higher doses. The strain is great for small gatherings and parties and puts you in a social mood. It is also ideal to enjoy at home, if you are looking for some inspiration and introspection. The taste is rather spicy. With some plants, this gives a pronounced taste that may not please everyone. Sweet and sour is always well balanced, but never pronounced. The effect is mild and rather social. Larger doses really create a strong euphoric mood. The plant is fairly easy to grow. Her branches are fairly sturdy for a sativa, but also flexible enough for just about all pruning and bending techniques. Flowering time is at least 9 weeks. I am very satisfied with the autopots. You can leave for a few days without worrying. I wouldn't use them if you live on a floor. Occasionally they leak sometimes .... The pots are wet and heavy, but strangely enough you don't have problems with budrot. Here is a list of all 16 plants: # 1 89cm 13.9gr Small Plant, Small yielder. Incredibly soft aroma, with a very subtle Reine Madre taste. Delicious! # 2 144cm 53.0gr Beautiful large plant with a high yield. Beautiful buds. Sativa. Hazey. Excellent! # 3 144cm 33.0gr Pronounced foxtail sativa buds. Lower yield. Softer aroma than # 2. # 4 129cm 28.7gr Perfect mix between sweet and sour aromas. What a beauty! # 5 117cm 37.6gr Surprising yield for this smaller plant. Balanced sour / sweet. Great! # 6 92cm 21.2gr Beautiful plant. Seems a bit like the small version of plant # 13. But here too the aroma is less pleasant. # 7 123cm 29.0gr Hazey taste due to the many sativa influences. But also surprisingly sweet. Sugared with trichomes. Superb! # 8 124cm 38.0gr Good hard bud yield. With a pronounced strong spicy Reina Madre aroma. Don't stick your nose in the jar for too long. Splendid ! # 9 102cm 24,7gr Most beautiful Sativa-style buds, swollen, hard and ripe. Magnificent! A lust for the eye. And that taste ... incredible! # 10 65cm 16.3gr Small plant, low yield. Small tops with beautiful brown pistils. Subtle slightly spicy sweet Reine Madre fragrance. # 11 71cm 15.6gr Too bad about the low yield, but what a wonderfully soft and sweet aroma! The tops smell like super soft shortcrust with a very light touch of vanilla. Fantastic! # 12 111cm 24.0gr Less pleasant odor. Catpiss ... # 13 113cm 54.0gr Very different plant. Looks a bit like Critical 47 from Positronics that I once grew. Plant # 6 is also such a phenotype. Probably stray seeds…. Large yield of skunky buds with many orange-brown pistils. However, the fragrance is not skunky, but unpleasantly sour. # 14 92cm 21.4gr Top quality. Firm hard ripe swollen buds. Beautiful brown pistils. Many trichomes. Fantastic aroma. Splendid ! # 15 126cm 67.1gr Extreme heavy yielder. Rocket-shaped mega top. The weed is less beautiful and has less trichomes, but does have the typical Reine Madre smell and taste. Topper! # 16 88cm 16.4gr Small plant with small buds and relatively much leaves. Low yield. A lot of trichomes.

October 1 > Harvest morning. New trick... get up before dawn... cut your plant down and hang her upside down... then go back to bed. Hehe... I like this retirement stuff. We get smarter as we age. 😎 I did a fair job of plucking fan leaves before harvest morning so there wasn't that much work for me to do anyway on this girl compared to some of the other monsters she grew up with. Took me only about 90 minutes to complete my normal processing and washing. She developed into a wonderful purple color at the end there. The unique feature of this grow for me was that I never topped this girl. Subsequently she developed a huge single top cola that grew about a foot taller than the rest of the plant. Served as a demonstration of why we top plants in general. Hard for me to imagine what a bunch of these in the wild looks like but this is what WILD looks like. Diary note > I'll come back later and add weights and things. I threw in a weight of 100 grams as a marker to appease the gods. Total guess. ======================================================================== October 7 > Guess I underestimated my yield a tad... love when that happens. 😁 Ended up coming in at 212 grams buds and 181 grams trim. Woohoo. Another growing season officially comes to a close today. 👌✊ Initially I wasn't sure I wanted to use the Trimbag on this baby... because she was my last plant to harvest this year and I had plenty of time to hand trim her... and I harbored various possibly incorrect assumptions about the Trimbag originally which I have now shed. More on that later. Let me lay out my personal Trimbag history here as a learning experience for the community... ======================================================================== Originally I won this tool as part of my September 2018 diary winnings... and I looked at it strictly as a tool for fairly large scale growers.. of which I did not consider myself at that time. I grew an amazingingly oversized Durban Poison for a 5 gallon pot and I got lucky I thought. ... Then I took a look at how much herb I processed this summer and I said THANK YOU Trimbag! It saved me more than enough hours of hand trimming to demonstrate it’s usefulness. (October 12) >> Already slowing down in post-harvest mode hehe... so it looks like I did the same thing as last year diary-wise. Now I have another Trimbag on my hands but all I need is another magnet actually (hehe)... the zippers show no signs of sticking up at this point after me throwing about 2-3 pounds of herb threw the mill, and the overall bag has only lightly been used at this point IMHO. I'm a little surprised I lost that magnet and it's not a great sign for the longevity of the embroidery - so to speak, but other than that it's solid construction. And simple. I’ll be contacting Trimbag to see if I can acquire a new magnet and we’ll see how that goes. Back to my expectations... I only used this device on stuff I grew outdoors... of which I had enough... more than twice what I grew last summer - but that was by design. If I was to set out a general rule… I would say that I expect the weight of buds to be roughly equal to the weight of trim. This is AFTER I have thrown away any fan leaves plucked on the morning of harvest which are not saved as trim. I stop plucking when buds start to get ripped up if I don’t. Round 1 >> The first go was the early Amnesia 7 batch (Little Girl flowered early), and honestly, I was unimpressed. I looked at it as maybe I didn't let it dry long enough. I have a ritual of washing all my outdoor grown herb which has generally tended to cause things to dry a tad quicker than what one would expect in the field. I walked away from this initial experience like boy I hope I screwed that up and it works better on round 2. Round 2 >> Cream & Cheese CBD ... I think this girl did more to confuse me than anything else. The buds were not oversized but she seemed to take forever to dry. Part of this is probably attributable to excess humidity in the first few days - a weird week - we actually had some rain which is very unusual. But even after a week of drying I only managed 63g of shake on this batch (via the Trimbag). I'm going WTF? Ahem.... I ended up with 269 grams of buds for my Cream & Cheese. After that 63 g shake by bag I added 165 g trim by hand... and I was seriously wondering why this bag thang existed. Turns out C&C was not a good example.... so don't let the bad things weigh you down. Round 3 >> Next came Northern Lights - and my attitude changed completely. I harvested 319g buds, but the initial run with Trimbag generated 144g trim which I followed with 186g hand trim. NL had very dense buds and large internodal spacing which made trimming EZ. She was a monster… but at the same time I had her trimmed in under 4 hours. Of all the beasties I grew outdoors this summer, this was the largest yield for a single plant - but trimming her was a relative breeze, and it felt like it. I thought I hit the sweet spot for maybe how dry the herb needed to be for the product to work well… but probably only partially correct. Plant structure is significant. Round 4 >> Next came round 2 with Amnesia. As I noted in my diary I knew I was going to end up with a pound of herb on this particular strain so I tried to beat this particular batch up to minimize my hand trimming and see what the effect was. The end result of this was that I generated a smaller amount of buds from the larger sized pot (Little Girl was in a 10 gallon container and generated 235g buds/ 360g trim and Big Girl was in a 15 gallon container that generated 223g buds/ 493g trim). Round 5 >> Next came where we’re at in this here diary…Purple Berry Kush. Now originally I wasn’t sure I wanted to run this baby thru the mill. I THOUGHT that maybe because I hadn’t topped this girl and I didn’t put her in a pot bigger than 7 gallons which put her at a direct disadvantage vs my other outdoor girls that the yield would be substantially smaller, but I’ll be damned she ended up with 212g buds. Very satisfied there… and this stuff smells great when I let her get some air. The key here on trimming for this round was twofold. I let the buds dry longer than I normally would have by a few days… because I had nothing pushing me to make space for reason A… and because stuff was intervening for reason B… golf tournament… Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF (Robert Plant was awesome - we share the same birthday and he was 71 in August - I can only hope I’m still rockin’ that hard in 9 years)…you know - stuff. PBK ended up working out the best of all. 212g buds vs 181g trim. That’s the ONLY variant that ended up with more buds than trim. Part of that was how easy PBK was to maintain. I only did ONE major pruning of internal growth - probably later than I should have - I was trying hard to let her grow as wild as possible. But she was very easy to prune fan leaves off when that purple time came. It’s seems clear at this point that indica’s are easier to trim than sativa’s with a Trimbag…. but I’m not sure that’s going to be a revelation to anyone. As far as I’m concerned, anything that grows with an inter-nodal spacing that allows you to neatly separate your buds will work better with the Trimbag. DRY is a necessary ingredient for using this device. Probably drier than I am accustomed to… but that’s why somebody invented Boveda packs right? Anyway… I’m a VERY SATISFIED Trimbag customer at this point. It takes a little work to determine how dry your herb needs to be but even if you have to experiment, the number of hours you save from hand trimming will eventually make it worth your while… and as a newly minted senior citizen I can say that while my time might be free - anything that helps reduce pain - including time spent trimming - becomes quite significant. NOW —> The other side of this coin is that I will probably NOT use the Trimbag when I get back to indoor growing in early December… because I expect to be growing much smaller plants. Most of the things I’ve grown indoors top out at less than a couple ounces so it’s not clear to me that Trimbag is necessary with a yield that small… but I can test that theory later this winter. ================================================= hehe… I kinda promised myself “no more winter crops” after last summers bounty but I found that making edibles consumes a significant quantity of herb, and I really like my brownies. So now that I’ve stocked up to solve that problem, I plan to get back to some indoor growing (because growing is FUN)… mainly autoflowers. I actually have better control of temperature for things that I grow in winter as opposed to summer… but I have to add the heat to make that happen. That compares with the difficulty of adequate cooling if I run my lights during daytime in summer - even with night lights summer temps can be a problem with no AC. I don’t have AC in my house. It’s a function of California microclimates. If I lived 15 miles east of here - we’d BAKE with no AC (air conditioning). If it weren’t for coastal fog - this whole place would be a desert. With climate change - we’re heading that way even WITH the fog. We roll the dice here every winter and hope we get enough snow in the Sierra to hold off the firestorms that will come in the fall. We went thru a period of “drought” here in California a relatively short while back but even though we are officially out of our drought phase the fall firestorm intensity seems to be getting worse every year. But this is a clear sign I’ve consumed too much indica for one evening and I’m starting to lose track of.... just about everything. Anyhow… I think I’m about diaried out for this year. I have a pretty freaking serious vacation planned to celebrate my retirement for late next month… Las Vegas golf > Joshua Tree National Park camping > Palm Desert resort golf > Beach camping South Carlsbad > Torrey Pines golf > Laguna Beach > Pismo Beach camping > Monterey. It’s been about 30 years since I did anything this crazy (and that was a Grateful Dead tour in 1987 thru Arizona/Utah/California for my 30th birthday). Big difference this time around? Cannabis is LEGAL for the entire trip. I will be well stocked enough to sedate anything that gets near me. See y’all in December. 😎

She is doing better now with the Nitrogen she looks much better but she is a heavy Nitrogen feeder. And the Plagron Start Up is doing really good its like steroids for ht eplant. Next week monday I will start to flip the switch to 12/12.
