Bit of a learning curve with the RDWC, although I had everything worked out towards the end of the grow, looking forward to the next one.

In the video you can see quite well how much work the defoliation of Mrs. Jealousy has been. I had to graze so many nodes and internodes, really gigantic, these genetics. We'll see how it goes. I can already imagine it. What do you mean?! So, I'm going to call it a day for today. Food is waiting. Take care & bee 🐝 positive! Yours Alpha_Green Hello dear garden friends, I hope you are doing well and everyone is high in the sky. Finally, the American election campaign has come to an end. I can't hear all this anymore. So let's start right away with new photos from this morning and of course a few suggestions from me. The profile of my beloved Sour Jealousy now resembles that of a closed tulip. It will soon reach its full potential and bloom as if there were no tomorrow. Last night I personalized the conditions a little more precisely and adapted them to the respective growth. Since Lady Jealousy is still withering a bit, I keep the humidity just about at the reasonable limit of tolerability for both fully flowering Sweet Seeds ladies. I think temperature and humidity is a good but necessary compromise here. Different strains require different conditions. Especially when growth is so different. I also find the tribes of the three protagonists interesting... In my opinion, it tells us a lot about the selection of phenotypes in breeding. So my dears, the day takes its toll. Time to sleep. Thank you all for being out there. Like-minded and motivated to share our efforts around the cultivation of these enchanting plants. Thank you for this wonderful gift of being able to grow. Nothing can be taken for granted in this world. Not even happiness and peace. Take care and bee 🐝 positive! Yours Alpha_Green Hello again…. 👋 This morning the buds of the Dark Devil lady, which was harvested a little too early, came out to dry. I tried a little in the vaporizer. And I would like to take this opportunity to express great praise. The effect and taste are really very pleasant, although it was not quite there yet. And a berry-scented taste - very pleasant. I'm already looking forward to the perfectly matured lady then even more... 🤩 Yes, everything is going great at the moment. I'm really happy and satisfied with all the girls. Tomorrow my Sweed Seeds Jealousy package will be delivered from Spain. Despite the circumstances there with so much suffering due to storm disasters, super punctual. I'm already mega excited about it. Sweed Seed also presents a brand new hybrid strain. It hides or unfolds 55% indica and 45% sativa parts. Can't wait: Jealousy Z XL Auto Sweed Seeds I think this will be my first run of the Homebox! Yes!!! Oh, I almost forgot to mention that from today on the 8 side radiators are active for 12 hours each during a daily cycle. Predominantly 640 – 780 nm. Dark Devil is definitely really poisonous, wow - awesome turn... I had a 3-month break, that's noticeable... ;-)) A little mental excursion at the end of week 7: "Freedom"... We cause ourselves the most stress, because we have a completely distorted conception of freedom. Freedom does not mean being able to do everything you feel like doing. The assumption of having to do something all the time, is the main reason for stress. Only, when we have internalized, that we don't have to do, what we don't want to do: Only then, we are free.

16 Jul 2021 I lost a day somehow, and I’m wondering how? For some reason I thought it was the 15th, but obviously it isn’t. Somehow, I have allowed 4 days to go by between feeding her. I’m so surprised she’s still doing as well as she is because my care for her and her tent mate has been sorry! It just speaks to their resilience, and not my skills as a grower, but I hope to do better. Today I’m sticking to the ripening feed stage that I started on the 12th. Today she got a gallon of water chilled to 50F, with CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraBloom 4.5ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Dry KoolBloom .5 tsp. The initial pH was 6.2, and normally would be great, but her runoff pH would be very low, so I added pH UP 2ml which adjusted the pH to 6.4. The difference between pH UP and DOWN is ridiculous! The same amount of the other would have lowered the amount by about 2 full points, but the UP only adjusted .2 😳. Anyway, the final pH was 6.4, and TDS going in was 784 ppm. Runoff pH was still low at 5.5, and TDS runoff was 2513 ppm. We’re still in a heat wave right now, so the tent temperature was 84F, and humidity was 60%. I hope to keep this feeding stage up for a couple of weeks, then I’m going to start flushing her to prepare for harvest. I’m thinking harvest should be in about a month. 18 Jul 2021 Feeding time again! I’m continuing with the ripening feed stage today, and will be till the flush in a couple of weeks. Her buds are fattening up quite nicely, but I have sad news to report. It looks as though one of the branches we broke a while ago and taped up isn’t going to make it. Some of it is looking ok, but the leaves at the top of the cola are dying, and others around it are looking poor as well. Luckily, the buds below the break still look well. I was running out of time for the lights tonight to prune it off. I’ll do it tomorrow and go ahead and harvest what is already there. It’s closer to being ready than not. Today she received a gallon of chilled water (57.4F) with CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraBloom 4.5ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Dry KoolBloom .5 tsp. The initial pH was 6.2, but I wanted it a little higher. So I added 1ml of pH UP, which adjusted it to pH 6.5. The TDS going in was 839 ppm. The runoff pH was 5.8, and the TDS runoff was 2307 ppm. The tent was still warm at 84F, and humidity was 47%. My Blue Ox is looking wonderful, and I’m hoping she continues to do well. 20 Jul 2021 Today ends week 14 of this plants life. According to Rare Dankness Seeds, the Blue Ox has a 60-70 day flowering time. So, according to them, the people who produced the seeds for this lovely plant, she should be ready for harvest on or about July 24th, which is her 60 day mark, or August 3rd, the 70 day mark. So that is either next week or the week after. I’m going to go ahead and start flushing her out from the next feeding on till she’s ready for harvest. Her buds are nice and fat, and she smells lovely! Today I finished this week with the ripening phase on the feed chart and gave her the following: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraBloom 4.5ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Dry KoolBloom .5 tsp all mixed into a gallon of water chilled to 58.7F. The initial pH was 6.6 and was not adjusted. The TDS going in was 771 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 2364 ppm. Our heat wave is still raging, so the temperature in the tent was 88F, and humidity was 49%.

I hope everyone is doing well on the contest.Since everybody else God bless and happy growing ✌️. Day 56 i just uploaded a video showing what she looks like after a massive defoliation.

2/15 NL: I seem to be in the final stretch of things! Lots of white pistils still, but they're starting to curl in. Going to keep her in the tent and recheck this weekend! Harvest window is approaching! Very excited for the extra tent space. 2/19 NL: Not quite ready for harvest. Soon...

The zkittlez is maturing faster than the sour grape kush by a pretty significant amount I don't imagine it'll mean I'll have to harvest at different times just its pretty noticeable ones farther along than the other with the sugar leaf production and bud size etc. Still working on solving the heat problem for when the lights are on so I don't have to leave the tent door open all day. I guess I can put a small AC in the room and hook it up to the intake but I don't really want to.

F+29 20190125 - Plants still gaining more and more resin. Very nice production. I am so happy doing this! Going to give them another feeding tonight. F+30 20190126 - FB#2 has started showing some clawing, and I will have to do some research to diagnose. F+31 20190127 - With the help of some forum inquiries, there was a Nitrogen Toxicity appearing to start on FB#2. To be safe, since both plants got the same amount, they were both flushed with unfiltered, PH corrected, tap water. F+32 20190128 - Both flowers appeared to have improved since the flush. Nice amounts of Resin are easily visible, and the smell is amazing at this point, like a wift warm berries travelling into my nostrils. So sweet. F+33 20190129 - One more flush today, just to be safe. I adore these fabric smart pots. They drain everything but exactly what needs to be there, and they are easy to handle. I also enjoy being able to bust through the fabric to help with LST. F+34 20190130 - Plants still improving. They appear to have bulked up a bit more, and gained some more frosty resin. F+35 20190131 - I can see more pistils turning orange. I estimate about 2-3 weeks to go. FB#1 appears to be behind in it's maturation, but not its bulk or resin production.

Beim LST habe ich den Spitzentrieb versehentlich angebrochen. Sie wird es überstehen, hatte durch den Knacks allerdings ziemlich Stress.

5/28 It poured yesterday so i dodnt bring the girls outside. Seedlings are transplanted into gallon pots. Once the fill that they'll go in final homes. I brought the plants out on this overcast day to harden them off. They're under the cover of the barn though placed by the open door. I've been putting in some work. Once this rain stops I have a couple things to do on the cage then I'll put the bags in the spots I have mapped out and mix my soil and fill the bags. The next day I typically transplant and add the first layer of supports. I have more pictures but not enough time to download them. 5/29 wow this site sucks. I have already done and saved this shit but its not here. Good thing I copy and pasted from grow with Jane. Only thing that sucks is I can't upload videos. It's not working here anyway so.... Watered and used about 3 gaterade bottles total. I may have messed up and watered the event horizon to much. They seem to be getting rootbound. Plants are doing well though with the transition. They are still hardening off. Tomorrow I plan to position and fill the bags with soil and if able I'll transplant them in the next few days. I want to make sure they're hardened off. Low tonight is 49 but it's 50s after that so I should be good. I'm hoping this video will load. Very stressful to do this shit over and over. 5/30 Plants have spent all day in tje Cafe and are coming in for the night. I finished mixing soil and filling the grow bags. They are ready for transplant. Weather is looking good so if plants respond well to this mild weather they will be transplanted with first set of supports added either tomm or the next day. Depends on plants response today (so far they're doing great) on whether I transplant tomorrow or the day after. I am sore as hell. Pictures are having trouble uploading and I'm not even gonna try to upload the video I took. 5/31 Plants have been taking a few days of full sun and they're doing fine. I'm planning on transplanting this afternoon. I had to water today. I weighed the pots and some were in tje 1200's grams which is dry. I'll update as I work. I have some errands to run then I'm putting the girls in their final homes. EDIT: WIND WAS RIDICULOUS! I TRANSPLANTED 3 OF THE HEALTJY GMO'S. WHEN I GOT BACK PLANTS WERE RIGHT SIDEWAYS FROM THE WIND. I WENT WITH INTUITION AND TRANSPLANTED 3 GMO'S. OTHER BAGS ARE READY. THE REST OF THE PLANTS WILL GO OUT TOMORROW MORNING. THE SMALL SUPPORTS I HAD DIDNT DO SHIT. I HAD TO ADD TOMATO CAGES AND TOE THE STALK TO THE TOMATO CAGE. SUCKS I COULDNT GET THEM ALL IN BUT BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. TRANSPLANTS WENT REAL SMOOTH. KNOCK ON WOOD. I TJ8NK THE OTHERS WILL TOO. THEY'RE READY FOR A NEW 6/1 Finished transplanting everything. Easiest transplant I've had so far. 4 gmo 1 toasted toffy 1 sherb pie and 2 event horizon. Everything is in 20 gal smart pots. One gmo is in a 30 gal smart pot. The medium is 1/3 of each roots organic 707, fox farm happy frog and fox farm ocean forest. Used mykos when transplanting. Wind gusts were coming from everywhere direction so I couldn't put a tarp up to block it. I bought "grow cages" which are kind of like tomato cages. The wind is so strong it blows the plants right against the cage. Oh well. I hope it works out. I'll check on them a little later and see how they're doing. 6/2 It was 45 degrees this morning. Nice out now. Plants are doing good. A couple gmos are drooping but it was cold. One gmo looked as good as ever! Sherb pie and toasted toffy are totally unaffected. In this new area plants get a lot of direct sun. Slight tacking on the gmos in the front. The event horizons really needed that transplant. Grow cages seem to be working out well. 6/3 I Watered the garden this morning as its been 75-80 out. I only used a gallon of water for the 8 clones. I'm not sure if I watered enough when I transplanted or not. Some plants have some burns from the intense direct sunlight. Plants could've used a bit more hardening but they'll be fine. A few of them seem great and have no real signs of stress dispute 25mph wind gusts and 15 mph constant wind and this hot sun. I should go check on my plants again this evening but I figure they'll be alright until morning. I've had an incredibly busy day and they were fine at noontime. I'm going to consult my other diaries and see what I did watering volume wise. I've for some videos but they take FOREVER to upload. EDIT: Looked at last year's diary and it was rainy as fuck and I took way more time hardening the plants. I've had more going on in life which has effected that. Went over at 3pm and gave the plants 3 more gallons of water. Bags were light and soil was dry af. Granted I added soil after it settled but still. I watered one gallon this morning so I figured 3 more gallons would make it a half gallon a plant. Planning to increase to a gallon each if they do OK. Its supposed to thunder storm tomorrow so hipfully we will get some rain. I removed one leaf that was bleached but there are a few others. The weather is beautiful but we've gotten zero rain. In hindsight perhaps I should've given the plants an extra gallon at least.
