I have bad news friends. A grief happened. After I updated my diary a few days ago, there was a hurricane on the street and there was a strong ice hail. The size of the ice balls reached several centimeters. That is why I am forced to do diary updates ahead of time. As you could already imagine after an ice hail that lasted 10-15 minutes. Because of this, the plants are very much affected. From the beginning, it became very dark on the street, as if night had begun during the day, after which there was thunder and thunderstorm and freezing rain began. I immediately began to worry about my plants, but I couldn’t get to them. Hurricane and hail began as suddenly as it ended. When I came to the place today, firstly I saw that the whole reed fell to the ground, so my secret passage to the secret place became open, and my buckets became visible from far, through the fallen reed. Most likely I will be forced to move the plants even further into the depths of the swamp, but now I can’t do it, because it has flooded a little, but my plants are on an island. I know that the reed will recover and rise when the weather is sunny. The second problem was when I saw the plants after the ice hail, it is that they were very badly damaged. Two plants managed to survive the ice hail with minimal losses, they lost only a few leaves. The third plant was interrupted by a central one on the crown. And the fourth plant suffered the most. His central stem was interrupted, and almost all lateral processes and leaves were broken, and only 3 branches remained on it. Broken parts of the plant lay below. This is very sad, since I wanted to try these plants most of all. Unfortunately, I could not do anything against the weather and the sudden ice hail. You won’t argue against the Russian weather. With grief, I drank vodka. I am extremely sad because of this at heart. Where they grow, the sun is not too much for the plants to completely recover. Part of their potential will be lost forever. They will survive, but they will not be able to give a full crop in the areaBut despite this, I will continue to keep this diary, as part of the plants remained alive and safely survived the ice hail. From the very beginning, after the ice hail passed, I thought that the plants would be completely dead, since it was almost impossible to survive under such a hail, even people ran away from the street. The fact that several plants remained unscathed, and two though they suffered damage, but everything grows evenly, is a real miracle. The city was very strong and big. Therefore, with your support and my love, I hope that they will show what these plants are capable of under the given conditions. If you are interested in following the adventures of weed in Russia, subscribe to my diaries and leave your comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ У меня плохие новости друзья. Произошло горе. После того как я обновил несколько дней назад свой дневник на улице произошел ураган и был сильный ледяной град. Размеры ледяных шариков достигали нескольких сантиметров. Именно поэтому я вынужден сделать обновления дневника раньше времени. Как вы уже могли себе представить после ледяного града который продолжался 10-15 минут. Из-за этого растения очень сильно пострадали. С начало на улице очень сильно стемнело, как будто днём началась ночь, после чего был гром и гроза и начался ледяной дождь. Я сразу начал переживать за свои растения, но никак не мог к ним попасть. Ураган и град начался так же внезапно, как и закончился. Когда я пришёл сегодня на место, во первых я увидел что весь тростник повалило на землю, поэтому мой тайный проход в секретное место стал открытым, а мои ведра стало видно из далека, сквозь поваленный камыш. Вероятней всего я буду вынужден перенести растения ещё дальше в глубь болота, но сейчас я не могу это сделать, так как его немного затопило, но мои растения находиться на островке. Я знаю, что тростник восстановиться и поднимется когда будет солнечная погода. Второй проблемой было когда я увидел растения после ледяного града, это то, что они очень сильно пострадали. Двум растениям удалось пережить ледяной град с минимальными потерями, они лишились всего лишь нескольких листиков. У третьего растения была перебит центральным на макушке. А четвёртое растение пострадало сильнее всех. У него был перебит центральный стебель, а так же сломаны практически все боковые отростки и листья, на нём осталось всего лишь 3 веточки. Отломанные части растения лежали внизу. Это очень печально, так как именно эти растения я хотел попробовать больше всего. К сожалению, против погоды и внезапного ледяного града я не смог ничего сделать. Против Русской погоды спорить не станешь. С горя я напился водки. Мне крайне печально из-за этого на душе. Там где они растут, солнца не слишком много чтоб растения успели полностью восстановиться. Часть их потенциала будет потеряна безвозвратно. Они выживут, но уже не смогут дать полноценный урожай в данной местности. Но несмотря на это, я буду продолжать вести данный дневник, так как часть растений осталась жива и благополучно пережила ледяной град. С самого начала, после того как прошёл ледяной град, я думал, что растения будут полностью мертва, так как выжить под таким градом было практически невозможно, даже люди убегали с улицы. То, что несколько растений остались невредимыми, а два хоть и понесли урон, но всё ровно растут - это реальное чудо. Град был очень сильны и большой. Поэтому с вашей поддержкой и моей любовью, я надеюсь что они покажут, то на что эти растения способны в данных условиях. Если вам интересно следить на приключениями травки в России, подписывайтесь на мои дневники и оставляйте свои комментарии.

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.

07/07/2025, beginning of week 8, a few issues have reared their head, done as many checks as I can on conditions and soil conditions and have come to the conclusion that I need to carry on sensibly feeding as these issues were probably present weeks ago but just not showing until now. Bud development seems ok and they are lengthening/stacking ok, she's becoming more and more frosty and starting to smell a bit, I think she will carry on lengthening this week before starting to flatten up from next week and will feed accordingly. Fingers crossed it doesn't fall apart haha.

So week 10 started and for Gorilla Cookie and Strawberry Pie this gonna be the final last 10 days I think. Started to flush the soil with 6.6 pH water and clean fruits. Gelato on day 61 still gonna need more time 2 weeks + Don't know about her Budsizes the nugs looks a bit small for me, but the smell is really amazing. Gelato 2 on day 35 starting to get in Flower. GSC also day 35 still need some time think 3-5 days And on Day 26 Cheese is going to flower too. She gonna stretch a lot I think never had such a plant like this. Updates coming 👍 Last days from Week 10 for Strawberry Pie, Gorilla Cookies and Gelato. I gonna chop Gorilla this weekend she's got the most amber on her it's about 10/90 . Should be good in 3 days + 48 H hours darkperiod. Strawberry Pie still need 1 more week I think maybe just 4-5 days don't want her to be so much amber I prefer a good headhigh also she's indica. Gelato still need more time to fatten up the buds. Maybe 10 days. Shes got a really interesting smell but the buds a bit small compared to SBP and Gorilla. But it's OK she's got the best structure and amazing symmetry. Gelato 2 and GSC are doing well And Cheese still looks a bit weird, potted her on Biobizz light mix without mixing florganics and coco. Maybe that's the point. I don't gonna use light mix next time. Allmix doing the job very good. Updates coming in week 11

Almost ready for harvest... Two out of three ladies are looking ready for harvest, while the third one is about a week behind. Overall yield seems excellent — easily beyond what I expected. This grow confirms that autoflowers can perform well under a 12-hour light schedule. However, the bud structure showed a bit too much leaf development, which I suspect is due to high light intensity during flowering. With an average PPFD of 700 µmol/m²/s over 12 hours, the plants received a DLI of ~30 mol/m²/day — a bit intense for autos in this cycle. For the next round, I’ll definitely adjust intensity and steer based on DLI for more efficient development and tighter buds.

8/10 Week 4 and she is ... well better Gave a one time of Recharge and Fish Shit she likes that stuff. Raised her light another inch see if it helps. Nuets as is PM feeding gave 1ml Kangaroots just to see if we can get her going 8/11 She is building so count that as a win hit 4" with a new node Keeping the light a bit higher for now 8/12 Moved the lights to 30" just looking for a veg sweet spot Seems hitting her roots is paying off will give another dose of kangaroots tonight 8/13 Looking good so increased nuets to 10 and 10 of cocotek A&B Good vertical growth still debating topping 8/14 Well she has three days to bulk up then we flip the lights. 8/15 We have decided to let her grow naturally, topping now would stress right as we flip, not a great idea so she is what she is as we do not want to stress this girl any further. Increased nuets to 12ml/gal each of cocotek AB, drinking more now Pic tonight Flipping in 2... 8/16 Good growth over night Flipping in 1...

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had thunderstorms, rain, and drizzle early morning and intermittently throughout the day. Temperatures were lower 80's. Day 2 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning, then rain and drizzle intermittently throughout the day. High temperature for the day was 71° Day 3 we had lots of sunshine and high temperature around 84°. Day 4 we had partly cloudy skies and a high temp of 72°. I watered from the hose about 2 gallons per pot. Day 5 we had lots of sunshine and clear skies. High temp was 89°. I watered about 2 gallons per pot from the hose. Day 6 Day 7 we had rain the previous night and today lots of sunshine. High temperature was 86°. The rain took care of the watering today. This week was a success. These girls are adding height and enjoying the warmer weather. It's been somewhat dryer, but we're still getting rain every few days. They don't seem to mind it. Now that they've been moved to their permanent spot, they should take off growing.

Another warm week of flowering down and the smell has developed into dirty socks dipped in citrus! Bumped up the nutes a little bit more for this week. Trichs are looking great. The sugar leaves are darkening up well.

10/08: i just switched the lights over to 12/12. I am pleased enough with how the grow phase has gone, though i made some mistakes, and i am frustrated with how significantly different these phenos have been in their grow patterns. The canopy isnt great, and two pf the plants are significantly taller than the others. And i simply was not able to train them the same. I took 3 cuttings of each and am hoping to propagate them and keep a mother of my favorite of the 4 plants, assuming any of them actually end up with color. Really looking forward to the next couple of weeks as buds start to grow in. Fingers crossed for purple.

Going steady this week! Gonna go a couple more weeks and then flip to 12/12. Added 2 new clones to the tent as well, 2x Indian Rhino x The Matrix. Curious to see the differences between strains and also differences in growth between seed/clone. I won’t be keeping track of those 2 in this diary though. Thanks for reading, happy growing!

This was my first grow and there were some troubles along the way I harvested a little early just off amateur instinct but it comes with time 🤷‍♂️🏻 Def recommended for beginners it’s a easy potent plant to grow and looks amazing

The two surviving Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants develop well after they were planted in soil. The first pot is very small (0,25 l) and only a little watering is necessary now. As you can see in the pics the roots grow VERY WELL with the Voodoo Juice from Advanced Nutrients.
