Day 40-47 (May 31st- June 7th) (Day 41) For the first time in this grow these plants are looking halfway decent. Smell is ramping up too. I finally feel optimistic about this grow. (Day 42) The two jacks and the chunky blueberry are showing early signs of N/Mg deficiencies. I know it’s late in flower but since I’m experimenting with this tent, I’m going to give them one final feeding of nature’s pride 2-5-5.5 (tbsp) along with a teaspoon of oyster shell flour and some rock dust. Everything else I’m going to give a teaspoon of rock dust and oyster shell. There is no way these amendments will fully break down in time to be used by the plant but they could at least use the pH buffering and trace amounts of minerals after their recent leach. Everything but the BAOGC is covered in pistils that don’t really match their bud size. I hope they fill into their pistils because an over abundance of hairs drops the bag appeal like crazy. Over the last few cycles, indoor and outdoor, I’ve definitely learned that different strains and phenotypes mature at different times. Sometimes really radically too. (Day 43) None of the plants are fading at all but they’re still looking good. Black garlic I know should be fading but remains dark green and toxed. I popped a developing seed out of the main bud too. I wonder if that blueberry herm branch pollinated it at all. It seems like plants don’t really like that Destiny dark matter soil by itself. I find it works better mixed with coco or promix 1:1. (Day 44) I’m starting to think I might be mixing up the TWOG and BAOGC. BAOGC took forever to fatten up last round and the 2 phenos I suspected already look done. I was thrown off by the similar terps. The beauty phenos are definitely TWOG (Day 45) God these Jack Herer’s smell good. Nothing but fruity funk. Almost like a vanilla or blueberry yogurt. I would say this stuff has the most overpowering smell in the tent now. I’ve noticed they’re starting to foxtail like crazy. Blueberry#1 too. I’m watering a final low strength feeding of seaweed extract on everything. (Day 47) Everything really fattened up this week. Even at the beginning of the week I was saying I didn’t think they would fill out. Jack Herer and BAOGC specifically made some big gains and nearly doubled their density and still have quite a way to go on them too! The smell has ramped up and finally, everything is looking happy and healthy.

Grow diary 11 stage 5 Days 41-50 During the week she had some training and I removed the damaged leaves. The whole grow has suffered from me not getting the watering schedule sorted. She has been flowering for about a week now. She is fairly short, and I hope I haven't messed this one up to much.

The plant went crazy with growth this week, easily doubling in size (probably more). My tent is only a small one at 80*80*160 and this thing is now fully populated by plant. Can't beleive I managed to get 4 in here with my last grow, I guess they will grow as big as the space they are provided with when they are healthy and happy and this plant is definitely both. Things continued to warm up again this week, a few sunny days of 26c outside which meant my tent once again crept into the 30's for 2 or 3 hours of the 18 hour lights on cycle. On top of this, just to add salt into the wounds there were cold nights as well where the tent heaters were going full whack keeping things warm. To tackle the heat I ended up using a CO2 bag. CO2 was recommended to me by the Hydro shop and could help with the plant dealing with the high heats at times, guess I'll see. The plant also received the gift of automated watering, with the higher temperatures but also as I'll be away for a week for work next week I had to get something setup in advance. No idea why I didn't install an automated watering system with previous grows, was so cheap and makes things so much easier. Best of all the plant is loving more frequent drinks/feeds. Currently set to 4 a day at around 500ml each feed. When I started this gro my plan was to go nutrient free, and just use what the living soil offered. That only lasted through veg anyhow, now that it's flowering, I can see how much the plant is loving the Mills nutrients. Based on the growth in the last week I'd say the plants loving them a hell of a lot!!!! I think all the hard work shaping the plant is done now as the stretch is nearly over. Had no other option but to install a net during the week just to keep it down as much as I could. Only took a few days to fill it out and there's way too many bud sights now. If the plant had of stretched much more it would have to move into a larger house, but now the buds are starting to fatten I'd say it will be safe now. Couldn't be happier with this grow anyhow. Now just have to wait and see these buds fatten up.

This girl took very well to LST and defoliating. Didn’t notice any sort of stunting from the defoliating, she chugged on as if nothing happened to her.

17.10.25 after checking the trichomes with my smartphone microscope I was glad to see enough milky ones to chop those two remaining plants and clear the balcony. I wet trimmed everything down to the nugs for a quick drying process and since these plants had little spots of powdery mildew despite relentless spraying all of this harvest Will be pressed for rosin as soon as possible. 30.10.25 Flowers are pressed to rosin details in the smoke report. The fresh press is now whipped on jars and curing in the fridge 31.10.25 flower tested 16% THC with Purpl Pro

They’re finally getting there now. Trichs are filling up nicely and they’re ready for a flush. Going of run some flawless finish through the roots for 8 hours and then fill the res with plain water for a few days. Some beautiful looking buds on these. So dense and they smell absolutely amazing. Looks to be some really good wait on the blue sherbets. Love barneys strains they always deliver.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

1st of September. This week I thinned out the whole plant again and took out some small side branches that didn’t get enough sun. I tried maximise the airflow inside the plant. I m super impressed how thick the stem already is. The flowers r growing too, but still a bit slow. I m excited for the next weeks. Also I fertilised with an organic bloom fertilizer. This fertilizer is beside from the seeds the only thing I bought from a growshop. I think regarding the growing there is so so much equipment that is not needed when you are growing on a hobby level.

Set 1&2 are out the green house in an outdoor setting but still under light....did some transplanting gonna do the rest in the upcoming week hopefully n maybe take some cuts other than that everything else running smooth Harvest the mother tree at the beginning of the week with would be about 6 weeks....took a few samples n she's hitting to say only dry a few days scent, flavor and effect are on point....still curing her out
