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.

The yeast fermentation is real. They were on a yeast fermentation regimen yesterday. Getting it again today. The effects are amazing. Day 17. - The ghetto CO2 generator did it's thing! They all exploded yesterday. I fed this morning @ full strength (1mL/L) Green Buzz Organig Grow Liquid, with about 1.5tsp molasses, and 1mL of Bokashi EM Juice (not bokashi tea, but the EM inoculant). After feeding I tied up and down. Ponytails for the top fan leaves, to expose the bottom nodes. And stakes to get the bottom nodes a bit more horizontal. Ahh. Free seeds. Who would turn down a free bean from Seedsman tagged 'Strawberry Cheesecake Auto'? Am I glad I gave her a shot. This plant is beautifully symmetrical and healthy AF. I'm really looking forward to checking out the strawberry terps in a couple months. I bumped up the smell in my diary to 'strong'. It's not flower smell yet, but the veg smell is reeking. A friend noticed it as soon as I opened my vent-room door. But the good news is that she said she couldn't smell anything before then. When I open the tent, it's so strong that it's dank already. Again, not a flower smell...but I've never smelled a stronger veg-oder than these. Nobody could ever convince me that yeast is futile or too much work. The growth from day 16-->17 was simply mind-blowing. I'm expecting more tomorrow, after the heavy feeding today. Day 20. So...some news. Yesterday I got the new fan. Freaking sweet- screw that clip on fan nonsense. And today, I've been busy. Non-tent related... I put together a worm farm. So I'm hoping for castings in a few months. Fed the bokashi bucket. I've had a problem with fungus flies (look like gnats, but live in soil). Elsewhere, notice that this falls under 'Non-tent related' :D. So I removed the top inch of soil in that houseplant, sprayed a soapy water mixture and covered with 1.5 inches of sand. I'm including this here, because I was terrified that those dudes would somehow find their way to my tent (on the other side of the house). But I think I've seen the last of them. Tent related... I watered with a nice castings tea that brewed for about 24 hours. I hope I didn't f*ck up. I hit GG and Strawberry Cheesecake with it before I pH'ed it down. So they got dosed at around 7.6. I went back to them and hit them with a cup of pH'ed tea (6.5). Then the light cut off, and it was their bedtime. I had to wait for LST until after their nap. But while they were on black out, I got a package. Some dope-AF smartplugs. I can now control my LED, my exhaust, and my air mover from my phone. There's a built in digital timer where I can schedule on/off's. And it *measures* my usage! :D How cool is that?! Welcome to the space age. I also got a USB microscope, which is also badass. So look for pics from that in the coming weeks... Later when the light went back on (courtesy of my new smartplug!) I went back and did LST and pics for today. Day 21. New dehum. :)

Method 🎚️ Medium: 🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥 1 volume emoji because there really was no method to this grow. Plant seed, let grow, cut down, enjoy regularly😉. Any time you have the luxury of rooting this plant in the earth (where it belongs) is a huge bonus. She didn’t need much of anything and took all she required (for the most part anyway) from the garden👍. OG’s in the emerald triangle pride themselves on the makeup of their soil and the quality of the plants they grow. I like to think that while this girl didn’t have that benefit - she got as close as she could to it here in the north. She was struggling heavy at the start when she was indoors. It must’ve been my error some how but she hated the coco medium, hated the nutes and hated the grow light. As soon as she was moved outside, she was a completely different plant - like she had been begging for the sun the whole time. 5/5 coconuts because you simply can’t beat growing in the ground as the cannabis gods intended😎. Yield🌴🌴🌴 Ahhh the great equalizer of grower egos. Let’s put all of the above in perspective; this girl ended up where she was out of necessity. She was exposed to the elements and potential rippers and named “the decoy” because her express purpose was to draw attention away from the other 2 plants that we didn’t want anyone messing with. Thankfully, no one with a thought to theft ever really noticed her and it wasn’t until late flower that she demonstrated herself to be an award winning plant👍🤘👍. Woulda thought she’d yielded more with how thin her side branches were in comparison to the buds. They were massive and she was ready to fall over by the time the chop window opened. But the buds were also somewhat less dense which made their final sizes a little deceiving. Another limiting factor was that some of her branches were pollinated - probably from a randy bumblebee that had gotten into it somewhere else. Like the other 2 outdoors this year, we pulled 6 or 7 seeds off this girl that may eventually get used in future grows. I’m certainly not opposed to the occasional seed as long as she’s not a full-on hermie that can’t be used. Who knows, maybe a breeding project Is in the cards next year🤔. End of the day, results were about as expected given her conditions and growing environment - 6.51oz of sun grown, sativa goodness👌. 3/5 palm trees for this - without some training and a more accommodating environment - we definitely left some of her potential on the table here. There’s still more than enough to go around though😉. Props Again, a shout out thank you to GD for the platform. Big thank you to HSO for breeding some wicked, awesome beans. And another shout out to good karma for seeing us through this one. Of course some special mention to those who swung in to creep on it these past weeks. Special mention to my buddy @sKitzO for the discussion and sound advice. If anyone’s interested in seeing this plant’s full potential with training and a nute plan then check his dockside, pot-grown 707’s - just gorgeous, abundant, beefcake plants💪. Much appreciated homie👊. From our bong to yours, may the weather be ever in your favour😉😎🤘👍👊.

Let's dive into the third-week update for our resilient Jelousy, the star of our Power Buds journey. This week is nothing short of a pivotal phase in the life of our green darling, so fasten your seat-belts, and let's embark on this exciting chapter together. Jelousy, our leafy companion, has truly come into her own during this transformative period. Those five-fingered leaves are now the epitome of lushness and vigor. It's as if she's been to the botanical spa, indulging in a little photosynthesis and chlorophyll rejuvenation. The importance of this phase cannot be overstated. You see, during the third week, our plant transitions from her infantile vegetative state into the budding and flowering phase. It's the botanical equivalent of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Nutrient-wise, we've continued our faithful partnership with Plagron Sugar Royal at a steady 1ml per liter. It's like providing our green champion with the secret recipe to success, ensuring she gets the nourishment she needs to thrive. Now, let's break it down a bit. In this critical phase, our plant is busy laying the foundation for her flowering stage. It's during this time that she's prepping herself to produce those coveted, resinous buds that we all dream about. This phase is marked by a shift in priorities, as Jelousy begins to direct her energy toward developing flowers and, ultimately, a bountiful harvest. Before we sign off, it's imperative to extend our profound gratitude to the benevolent Zamnesia and Plagron for their unwavering support in making this Power Buds journey possible. Their expertise and generosity are the wind beneath our green wings. A hearty shout-out to the incredible Grow Diaries community, the heart and soul of this fantastic adventure. Your knowledge and camaraderie keep our spirits high. To all fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to flourish, and your dreams of a magnificent harvest come true. Here's to a week of growth, transformation, and a dash of humor as we journey through the Power Buds contest. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep watching those dreams bloom! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

Всем привет 🖖 Бортовой журнал запись 8 Я начну эту запись с того что расскажу вам о трагедии которая произошла сегодня у меня дома 18.02.2023 Первые 2 видео я снимал сам, там не видно языков пламени, не успел заснять этот ужас который я видел. Было спокойное утро 09.32 часов, как обычно звучала сирена звук воздушной тривоги который звучит каждый день по несколько раз. Я поехал в другой конец города менять документы, мы стояли на парковке с моей девушкой и пили кофе, рядом с нами было десятки людей, и тут мы слышим взрывы ракет. Россия государство терорист эти преступники и убийцы в очередной раз нанесли новый ракетный удар. Это был ужас, сначала упала одна ракета и прозвучал очень сильный громкий взрыв, все люди начали кричать и плакать от страха, спустя минуту прозвучал второй взрыв....... Громкие хлопки и языки пламени поднялись на десятки метров в воздух. Это ужас, это очень страшно, взрывы огонь звуки сирены, кругом крики людей и паника. Русские убийцы стреляют по обычным домам, я хочу что бы каждый кто это читает знал то что россия это террористы которые убивают мирных граждан своими ракетами !!! В результате обстрела пострадали 3 учебных заведения, несколько жилых домов, 17 автомобилей, раненых....... Ублюдки горите в аду!!!! 🇺🇦 💪 УКРАИНА 💪 🇺🇦 мы победим! СЛАВА УКРАИНЕ!!! ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА!!! Дневник. Мне тяжело вести дневник, кто читает мои записи знает что у меня нет света, нет отопления, на нас падают ракеты...... Растения сладко пахнут, цветы дозревают несмотря на что, много ещё прозрачных трихом которые так и манят своим сладким ароматом. Purple Punch почему-то не меняет свой цвет на пурпурный, немного фиолетового оттенка есть но я надеялся что они будут фиолетовые. С водой обратного осмоса смешал Delta 9 и Booster это был последний полив удобрениями, дальше только вода. Я устал пить алкоголь, успокоительное, снотворное что бы уснуть что бы не бояться что меня и мою семью убить, я хочу покурить эти цветы что бы мне стало спокойно. Каннабис меня лечит от тривоги, бессонницы, нервов. Всем мирного неба 💪🇺🇦 будьте живы и здоровы..... Пока......

10/5/24 - Purple Punch 👊 & Green Crack 💚 Girls got a top feed of 7.3 pH, and runoffs are strong 6.4. PPMs are a little lower last dunk on the GC, so we are going to bump up her feed a little, and reduce the feed on the Purple Punch.

57 to 63 Friday. It is currently f58 as of creating this entry. I am going to be chopping them tomorrow at f59. This is the earliest harvest I've had. These guys were exploding at week 6 of flower. The pics here don't do justice. With everything collapsing from the weight, and the leaves all being completely black messes with the image. When I pull them out of the tent the pics will show them in their true form. Super sticky tight buds. I'm kind of in love with Clearwater. Especially after the nightmare I dealt with with those Beleaf jokes. Been flushing about a week. Still ripping the lights as hard as I can while holding 24-25c. I'm estimating around 750g dried for these. I'm usually fairly close ;) Enjoy

On 7th day of flowering we removed lower little branches and made some lollipopping on the plants. Also we made some defoliation on gelatos cause they were very bushy but almost removed only biggest fan leaf. As plants were bigger enough we started adding granural mineral NPK 12-18-23 1 g/L and CalMag Xtra by advanced nutrients 1mL/L to the solution.

Added video on may 16 for a good look May 11 We are now almost at the end and I must say it sparkles more than anything else I have had so far I specifically took photos and the video using only the light from my phone. Despite the burn marks, she's a real sight to behold. She makes it difficult for me to take photos with a flash because she's covered in trichomes that simply bounce the light back. The buds look great and healthy and are now in their final stages of ripening. I hope everyone enjoyed this cup. I've been through thick and thin with this plant, and I really enjoyed it.Regardless of whether I win the cup or not, I'm already a winner with this beautiful plant. It smells great, and I'm already looking forward to smoking it. Thank you all for your attention. This is the largest diary entry I'll be making, in terms of pictures. Of course, there will be more pictures and videos until the end of May. She will now receive advanced nutrients as prescribed and Plagron's Green Sensation for the rest of the time. In one or two weeks I change the water and just let them stand in normal water. THANKS 🙏🏻🔥😌❤️

Same regime i did add rose bloom for a 1 time feed. Dug a inch or so around the root and 1 inch or so hole by the pots edge. Recovered with soil then watered. I did not like the effects tho. It made a bunch of leaves change colors like they had p and k deficiencies. Stalks and viens got red but went back to normal after another watering with just 6.3 ph water

I just harvested lilly x White Widow. She looks very frosty. I can't smell right now due to a head cold. She did have a very earthy flowery smell last time I could. I will be back fir the smoke report once I get her dried, and cured in the cannatrol. Then of course the final trimming.
