For the Herbies contest - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/157348-grow-journal-by-dabbertglobberfield#gallery=6777378 - Grandmommy Purple is guilty multiple noise violations for being too loud and for stanky funk. Harvest - 169 days / 66 days in flower Well, we did it. I made it to the end. All I can think is...WOW that was A LOT of work. But I think I had very good results for a first time grower. I For harvest, we took Plant B and D and prepared them for immediate freezing. Altogether, I ended up with 1212g wet on plant B and 1089g wet on plant D. I ended up freezing 1816g of this. There was some from each of these plants that was set aside from freezing because, for whatever reason, I thought they were not worthy of washing because of how progressed the leaf damage was from the root rot battle. So that was cut up and dried as nuggets instead of hanging like the rest. Sawtooth and Plant C were both harvested and hung in the tent to dry for 12-13 days. I think I overdried by 1-2 days because when I jarred them they struggled to raise up to 55%. So I am using rh% packs. After drying Sawtooth and plant C, I ended up at 459.8g for dried flower and 170.8g in dried trim. So just over 1lbs between the 2 plants and 4.15lbs wet between the other 2 plants that was washed for hash. So... are you for real with the effort involved with washing bud for bubble hash? I don't think I would do this in the warmth. I only pursued doing bubble hash cause it's cold right now and I figured that would really help. Even in the 30s(fahrenheit) stuff would stick. It's hilarious how sticky of a process this is. I hope you have a bunch of gloves, water, and ice to burn through. I went through over 60 gallons of distilled water and 80lbs of ice to wash the 4 lbs. I am envious of people in videos using a hose to collect, clean, and refill. Also, doing this as a 1 person show is the definition of insanity. I broke the washings up into 3 parts. The first part was was the tester wash. I broke off 420g of plant D's 848gs available. I used 7 bags to see where I would end up. I used 220, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45, 25. What I determined was that if I was hunting a specific micron with a lot of material this would help find what you can get. But for the next washing I reduced the amount of bags to 4; 220, 160, 45, 25. The time, with the 4 bags, I washed with 809g. I had a much more favorable experience and return this second time but I had green fast and probably used too much ice. The 3rd wash was the remaining 631g and I found an extra 137g I added of sugar leaves and trim, brining the 3rd wash to 768g. I used 5 bags this time; 220, 160, 73, 45, 25. By the 3rd wash I have become an expert in collection but also never want to do it again. lol. 2 of the 3 washes have dried and I have 43.4g of bubble and 2.8g of dry sift. 37.4g of that bubble is able to be pressed into rosin. I will probably press that dry sift as well. The other stuff is 25u or 160u that I will experiment with or cook with. The other stuff is drying so I can't add it all in. I pressed a bunch of trim and some flower. The trim presses nice and the dab is decent. I am working out a good temp for the flower. But the problem with all these tests to find the sweet spot is that I have all these testers to go through but want to keep pressing and trying that! I think I will need to work on a better storage solution. I can't wait for the fresh frozen bubble hash rosin pressing... I have over 20gs of bubble to put in one bag. I am really looking forward to this. But I will need to work up to that pressing since I have never pressed hash/kief/bubble before in my rosin press. So this should be really fun. I will 100% post an update of the hash pressing once I do that and also after the 3rd wash session is done drying. In closing, saying I learned a lot from this grow would be an understatement. I fully expect to start it back up in a few weeks after some R&R then some R&D. There's some things I will need to work on before I start again, such as: having a single external reservoir that feeds multiple plants, hard to clog and easy to use ebb and flow system, miscellaneous final run stuff like space for drying. So thanks everyone for hanging out and perusing the photos and or reading all my huge rambling updates and thanks to those for the help along the way.

🌿 Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Woche 25 und mittlerweile ist bei beiden Pflanzen das Höhenwachstum endgültig Geschichte 🌿. Die linke Mentha de Croco steht weiterhin bei etwa 2,18 m, während die rechte Pflanze sogar noch etwas weiter auf 2,37 m gewachsen ist 📏🚀. Bei der Budentwicklung liegt die linke Pflanze weiterhin vorne 🌸. Die Buds sind schon deutlich weiter entwickelt und werden langsam richtig interessant. Beim Reiben an den Zuckerblättern kommt mittlerweile ein extrem intensiver, zitroniger und fast schon lösungsmittelartiger Geruch zum Vorschein 🍋. Ein wirklich spannendes Aroma, das ich so bisher noch nicht bei einer meiner Pflanzen hatte 👃🔥. Die rechte Pflanze verhält sich dagegen momentan deutlich zurückhaltender. Ihr Geruch wirkt erdiger und weniger intensiv 🌱. Aber die Blüte ist noch lange nicht abgeschlossen und gerade beim Terpenprofil kann sich in den kommenden Wochen natürlich noch einiges verändern. Ich bin deshalb sehr gespannt, ob sich die beiden Phenos am Ende noch stärker auseinanderentwickeln 👀🌸. Was mir ebenfalls zunehmend auffällt: Das Cultivar scheint wirklich zur Ausbildung riesiger Buds zu neigen 😳🌸. Genau das lässt mich inzwischen etwas nervös werden, denn auch meine beiden Pflanzen beginnen, ordentlich Masse aufzubauen. Ich bin gespannt, ob die Zweige das Gewicht der Buds gegen Ende der Blüte tatsächlich problemlos tragen können 💪🌿. Nach den Erfahrungen mit den starken Herbststürmen werde ich das auf jeden Fall genau im Auge behalten 🌬️. Ansonsten passiert momentan gar nicht so viel. Heute bekommen beide Pflanzen noch einmal Almicanna Komposttee 🍵. Danach heißt es eigentlich nur noch beobachten und die Pflanzen machen lassen. Der Wasserverbrauch liegt aktuell bei ungefähr 4 Litern pro Pflanze und Tag 💧. Je nachdem, wie warm es tagsüber wird, schwankt das natürlich etwas. Durch die deutlich kühleren Temperaturen ist der Bedarf mittlerweile wesentlich niedriger als noch vor einigen Wochen 🌡️. Ich würde sagen, dass wir jetzt ungefähr Halbzeit bei der Blütenentwicklung erreicht haben 🌸⏳. Und genau ab jetzt wird es richtig spannend. Die nächsten Wochen werden zeigen, wie gut das Wetter mitspielt und wie sich die Buds unter den Bedingungen des deutschen Herbstes weiterentwickeln 🍂🌧️. Wenn alles nach Plan läuft, wäre Ende Oktober ungefähr der angepeilte Erntezeitraum ✂️🌸. Bis dahin kann allerdings natürlich noch einiges passieren. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken für möglichst viel Sonne, wenig Dauerregen und vor allem keinen großen Sturm mehr 🤞☀️🍂. 🌿 Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 Week 25 and by now the vertical growth is definitely over for both plants 🌿. The left Mentha de Croco is still around 2.18 m, while the right plant has reached an impressive 2.37 m 📏🚀. The left plant is still ahead in bud development 🌸. The buds are noticeably further along and are starting to become really interesting. When rubbing the sugar leaves, the aroma has become extremely intense, very lemony and almost solvent-like 🍋. It’s a really fascinating terpene profile and definitely something I haven’t experienced with one of my plants before 👃🔥. The right plant is much more subtle at the moment. Its buds have a more earthy and less intense aroma 🌱. But flowering is still far from finished, and the terpene profile can obviously change quite a lot over the next few weeks. I’m therefore very curious to see whether these two phenotypes will become even more different by harvest 👀🌸. Another thing I’m noticing more and more is that this cultivar seems to have a tendency to produce absolutely huge buds 😳🌸. And that makes me a little nervous, because both of my plants are starting to build some serious bud mass as well. I’m really curious whether the branches will be strong enough to support the weight of the buds towards the end of flowering 💪🌿. After dealing with some strong autumn storms earlier in the season, I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on them 🌬️. Apart from that, not much is happening at the moment. Today I’ll give both plants another Almicanna compost tea 🍵. After that, it’s mostly a matter of observing and letting the plants do their thing. Water consumption is currently around 4 litres per plant per day 💧. It varies a little depending on how warm it gets during the day, but the significantly cooler temperatures have clearly reduced their water demand compared with a few weeks ago 🌡️. I would say we are probably around halfway through the flowering development now 🌸⏳. And from this point on, things are going to get really interesting. The next few weeks will show how well the weather cooperates and how the buds develop under German autumn conditions 🍂🌧️. If everything goes according to plan, late October would be the approximate target harvest window ✂️🌸. But a lot can obviously still happen before then. Fingers crossed for plenty of sunshine, not too much continuous rain and, above all, no more major storms 🤞☀️🍂.

One more week up we go :) i'.m doing 14h light 5h out 1h light 4 out since they are enjoying it so much i'm going to keep it up until i change to 12/12. the one hour ligth in the midle is just to prevent them from switching to flower. I'm Trying too keep it arround 500 umol/s/m2 for a total of 15h a day ligth for now this guives me a 27.00Mol/M2Day, i know i could go up to 34.00Mol/M2Day but sometimes less is more and i dont want to take my girls to a point were they are so tired that they cant process more light I'm learning and testing all this since it's my first time growing with this tecnologie , but i belive we have to keep moving fowerd and i belive this is the road to walk 😅 Girls: 1-BlueBerry 2-Alaskan Purple 3-Poyote Gorilla 4-Hindu Kush 5-Whitw Mango 6-Super Glue 7-Badazz Cookies 8-S.A.D. tent -8x8 / 2.4x2.4 but i'm only using 1/2 so 4x4 / 1.2x1.2 Led - Lumatek 465w Compact Pro at 75% All i Grow is medicine for myself, Stay safe, stay tuned and B Happy Peace out

Endish week 8 - taken for safety - shame not to run to good trichomes - weight wise ok, don’t like too post weight very little leaf as you see

I actually harvested Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. First harvest was tallest buds only, they were probably 30% amber. Second harvest was the rest of the upper canopy three days later. Third harvest was the lowest buds.

Somango auto

hard to trim - a lot of fan leaves to cut

April 22nd No changes to nut's, temp, or humidity, but we did have to raise the lights with the growth. I may have mixed up a couple of my Green Crack grow's images but I did the exact same with both grows with amazing results both times, so if you see three then four plants it is due to my well intentioned intent to post each of these as I did them but forgot. LOL

Glasgow rangers wee are the people watp

Alright all, it's been awhile since I've been able to update so I have a couple weeks to catch up on. Unfortunately my cheap phone was having issues last week and I had to do a deep clean and got rid of some photos, photos I though I'd uploaded to my drive that I actually hadn't. I seriously could have kicked myself. But thankfully I at least have a video instead of nothing. So on August 1st I got some spent hardwood substrate blocks from a mushroom farmer down the road. I crumbled the blocks around the base of each plant and watered them in. The purpose of putting the blocks down is that they still have live mycelium in them, and the mycelium creates a symbiotic relationship with the cannabis plant and it's root structure. The cannabis roots can only take up so much surface area, but the mycelium can take up the space the roots do not and form a network where in exchange for sugars the mycelium will provide nutrients for the cannabis plants. Also, watering with the molasses gives the mycelium the sugars it wants. I'm sorry I don't have more pictures, I wasn't even thinking when I was cleaning up my phone because I was so frustrated with it (there's a reason LG stopped making phones recently). It's just been wayyyyyyyy more busy than I expected or wanted it to and I've had hardly any time in the garden. It's all this rain! Last year I was complaining about how there wasn't enough rain, now this year there's plenty of it. When I'm not doing Garden stuff I'm working part time with my husband doing landscaping and tree work, which includes mowing lawns. Last year with the drought we were mowing lawns maybe every 2 weeks. This year it's every 4-5 days. It's crazy.

Lots of things this week! I did some aereted compost tea for the first time. Recipe is easy. 1 5 gallon of declorinated water. In a 400 micron bag, 2 scoop of worm castin, 2 tbsp of alfafa, 2 table spoon of kelp 1 table spon of bat guano. 2 tbsp of unsulphure melasse. Then you put air pomp in it for 24 to 36h max. After its watering time! Big shout out to Mr. Canucks Grow for the tutorial video. Definitely the best weed channel out there! https://youtu.be/whE2F72P8Tg I also unplug the main cob in the white bucket to let only the custom 60w full spectrum led. I think the main cob burned the plant... still not sure but i will try a week with out it. Thanks for following! Happy growing and stay safe!

Fast Buds CA (still don't have a clue what CA stands for). Looking better. I gave her an overdose of Recharge and I think it helped bring some green back to the leaves. I'll probably OD her again. Nice little bud sites developing! 😃

Red dragon is starting to pre flower as expected....

final week

A great run! Had a ton of fun filling this whole tent in with one plant! I think I way do this again with an overgrown mother.

We've made it to day 28! - 17/12/20 The girls seem to be happy and healthy today. I won't be feeding/watering them as the pots are still heavy from yesterdays feed. A few of the girls have started to show sex & the smell has picked up a little bit(inside the tent), so I'm hoping to see some flowering begin this week sometime. (I've been using my iPhone as my only DSLR lens is useless for focusing on certain depths, but I hate the colour I get using the iPhone... I may be switching back to DSLR unless I can find a better camera app.) update - day 29 (18/12/20) Short update today. Fed the girls today and will probably be feeding/watering every day from here on out, we'll see though. veg growth has really taken off by now, I'm hoping to see some flowering this week. update - day 30 (19/12/20) I fed the girls today. I need to find a better way to hand water, the plants are so short and bushy its a pain getting in between all the branches. I wish i left my drip feed system up and running, I will definitely refine it and use it next run. Update - day 31 (20/12/20) Fed the girl's straight water today. I'm going to purchase the pieces I need tomorrow to reconfigure my drip feed system & hopefully have it running by mid-week! Update - day 32 I attempted to set up my drip feed system today but the plants are too thick around the base to place the halo around :( I will have to wait until next season to set it up, oh well, I guess its hand watering for the next 5-10 weeks Fingers crossed these girls start to flower ASAP. I fed the girls today, everything is looking good so far. I also moved the plants around to try to make hand watering easier, I had issues trying to water the whole pot instead of just one spot due to plants/branches being in the way. Update - Day 34 - 23/12/20 It definitely seems ill be watering the girls every day from here on out. All the girls look fairly happy and healthy, they're getting a bit big for the 5x5 they're in. It looks like flowering has begun on 2 of the girls, hoping to see some more progress on the others in the next few days. Thanks for stopping by! 🙏

We are out of silica , hope the rice shells help

8.73 oz from 2 plants. Very dense and potent nugs. Love it so far. Now for curing
