Hello All. I took a lot of pictures. Hope you don't mine, but I had fun. I think everyone likes to see large harvest pictures. It all started back in early January when I took clones of my favorite plants. It was a cold winter here this year, for these parts. So it was mid March when I got the plants out in the greenhouse. The spring was damp and cold too. I found powdery mildew in the garden about 2 weeks before I found it in the greenhouse. I got it on the Skunkberry and the Burmberry, But not on either Amnesia Lemon or the Sister Amnesia Lemon. I was very pleased about that :) I found some spider mites in the last week and a half. I decided to turn up the fans instead of spray. Yes they still spread but very slowly when they can't spin their webs. I didn't find many when I harvested. Everything else went well this season. I found a male Dr. Atomic Northern Lights that I liked. So I'll try to make some seeds with the Amnesia Lemon, Skunkberry and the Burmberry. I'm trying to fatten up the Burmberry. I'm interested to see if the Amnesia Lemon gets fatter buds and carries the P.M. resistance to the seeds, I'm hoping. The tall Sister Amnesia lemon in the middle did cause a drop of production from the plants on either side of it. They were in more shade. Something to work on for next year :) The Skunkberry had the most P.M. I used a new produce that I'm pleased with, it's White Wash frequency altered water. Knocks the P.M. right out. I found that if you put a large tray under where you are spraying you can catch the run off. I could use it a couple of times with no change in effectiveness. It must be the Scottish in me. I try to reuse or recycle as much as possible. Cuts costs, and help make me feel like I'm doing good and helping the planet. My feeding schedule was: I had a 15 gallon half barrel and pump with hoses and nozzles. I filled the barrel with nutrient solution and watered by minuets, 15 for clod days and 25 or 30 minuets on hot days. After 3 or4 days I added water when the solution got low. Mixed new solution once a week, and cleaned the barrel and pump. I also took the hose in the greenhouse and soaked them till run off once a week and measured the ph. I saw a few fungus gnats, but the spiders and nematodes (from my compost I added when I mixed soil) sure help to keep the numbers down. I like to put my buds in a paper bag to dry and cure. Inside I hang the buds for 3 days before putting the buds in paper bags. But it was so hot in the green house that 2 days was more that enough before putting the buds in the paper bags. The bags sat in the greenhouse for 3 days and then went in to the basement to finish. The old hippies told me that they use to put their buds to cure in the middle of a bushel of straw. I seems that the drying buds gives off a gas, that when trapped around the buds helps to take away the bitterness and raunchiness' of the uncured buds. The bags also help in wicking away the moisture of the drying buds, just like the straw did. After a week I check to see if it is dry enough. If the buds are dense the bag might need to be rehung for a few days to finish. I prefer a dryer bud. I like to hear a light crunch when I put a bud in my pipe. I like to hear a light crunch when I put the bud in a grinder. > Amnesia Lemon- Plant #1 North plant=343 g. >Amnesia Lemon - Plant #2 South plant=397 g. > Sister Amnesia Lemon - Middle Tall Plant=401 g. Winner :) > Skunkberry - Southern Middle Plant=316 g. > Burmberry - Plant #1 North Plant=239 g. > Burmberry - Plant #2 South Plant=294 g. > Total= 1990 g. or 71 oz. or 4.4 lbs. In Conclusion: This was my best grow ever! Big thanks to Barneys farm, for great seeds. I've got LSD started and I will try that in the greenhouse next year, 5/5 for mold and pest resistance. I'm very happy with the results. I was concerned because I have 2 rental houses behind me and one of them had a big backyard party at my week 5 of flowering. You could smell the grow by then and I was hoping I wasn't going to get ripped off. I looked through the fence a few days later and saw about 12 large plant pots, growing cannabis. I'm very happy. Cheers Chuck. > November 3 Added pictures of the seeds I made this summer.

So i decided to experiment with the smart protein in a foliar spray recently and unlike other nutrients (this is not a nutrient or an additive!!!) well saturation is not desirable, in other words for other foliar sprays you want a saturated solution more or less, but with the smart protein you want to lighter... i think the leafs are really good at absorbing it, but it's so rare they end up "stained" and end up 'burnt', if you look closely it looks similar to Mg deficiency... but it's not and it's interesting lol. Nothing else to report, not feeding anything this week, i'll try to update as regularly as i can from now on aswell. Hope you enjoy these testers as much as I do ! πŸš€

12/13- Here we go...Week 6 of flower and shit's gonna be happening from here on out to harvest! Now it's more important than ever to make sure that everything is on point, and I mean EVERYTHING: Temp's/RH/co2/VPD/Water and Nutrients. All is critical at this stage as the girls are pouring everything they have into their flowers and anything that upsets them will have a direct negative affect on them. They were fed today .75g de-chlorinated water with a starting ppm of 100 with a 0.2 EC. To the water was added Fox Farms Nutrients (Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom/Bembe/ChaChing) to give a final solution strength of 1700ppm's 3.4 EC @ 74deg. with a final ph of 6.2. They get watered with a 2g pump sprayer with a hose and wand attached from which I remove the spray head so that it gives a steady stream. It comes in handy, and I water them right at the main trunk and let the moisture soak up and outward through the entire pot. The Meringue is continuing to turn beautiful shades of reds and pinks and the #2 White Widow pheno is expressing some pink tips on some of the sugar leaves on her flowers. The Seedsman Peyote WiFi is stacking like hell and some of her shade leaves have turned yellow as she uses up nutrients in them. After todays heavy feed we'll see how she responds in the next day or so. The Poochie Love's are smokin' hot! Man I LOVE this strain, what a couple of beauties, vigorous and tolerant of just about anything you can throw at them. 12/15- Took down the trellis net today...I was using the braided nylon type, as it was what I had, and couldn't stand seeing the fucking fibers from it sticking to all of the 'fruits' of my labor and love so down it came!😑 It was, of course, a royal PITA to remove it trying to avoid further deposits of fibers from it dragging over the plants...so happy it's gone! All the girls appear to share my joy as they are looking sexy as hell!😍 They're getting watered daily now with 3/4g de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.2-6.5 @ 72-74 deg. With the Dutch Passion Meringue and the Peyote WiFi from Seedsman seeds are the two thirstiest of the bunch and always seem to be thirsty and aren't shy about letting you know! Today all that was added was Fox Farms Boomerang (final ph of 6.2 @ 74 deg. 500ppm / 1.0 EC) to help with the stress they encountered during the trellis removal. All of the girls colas are stacking like crazy and getting huge with heavy trichome production, especially on the Dutch Passion Meringue and Whit Widow, as well as the Archive Seed Poochie Love's. 12/17- Today was feed day, they all drank up 3/4g de-chlorinated water (the Meringue and Peyote WiFi got 1g each) with Fox Farms nutrients added (Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom/Bembe/ChaChing) to reach a final solution strength of 1400ppm's 2.8 EC at a 6.3 ph that was adjusted up using baking soda. Day temp's are maintaining a range of 78-82 degrees and night temp's I've dropped to 64-67 degrees for the final 3-4 weeks of flower to get that beautiful 'fall fade'. I've had to stake up the branches on the Peyote WiFi and White Widow #1 as their colas are so freakishly large they're bending the branches completely over (no...I don't miss the trellis net!😠) and actually split one on the White Widow that I had to administer some First Aid to (don't worry...she'll be just fine!). The variety of aromas coming off my girls is amazing and goes from piney to gas, to sweet/fruity...just mouth watering. I wish you could smell them, I'm sure you'd smile a big toothy grin!😁 12/19- I know I said it before...but I really dislike trellis nets! πŸ˜† So as an added PITA after removing it, the stalks on the Meringue, Peyote WiFi and White Widow #1 are too weak to support the weight of the massive cola's they're sporting. The netting supported the branches and as a result they had no need to stiffen up the way a plant without support would do. I went ahead and staked all three to give the stalks/cola's support. Unfortunately when I was working on the Meringue one of her stalks coming off the very bottom of the main stalk broke off clean at the main trunk.πŸ˜– Never accepting defeat easily, I cut about 4" off the stalk, jammed it in some Clonex Gel and stuck it in a 1g pot with coco/perlite, then watered it in thoroughly. Eight hours later its leaves are still not drooping so I'll keep my fingers crossed and see what it looks like tomorrow. Pisses me off to have it happen as there's probably close to 1/2 oz. of flower on it...oh well, not the first branch I've broken, and more than likely wont be the last!😎 Straight de-chlorinated water today, .75g each with 5ml/g Botanicare CalMag+ added then ph'd to 6.3 @ 74 degrees F. They are looking like Rock Stars and are only going to get better from here on out...hang on!

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Sunday, 27-02-2022 Fungicidal treatment with potassium bicarbonate on 20-02-2022 resulted in significant leaf burn on plants after foliar spray of 8.9 ml/liter potassium bicarbonate with unmeasured amount of Breakthru sticker spreader. I had dusted the plants and pots with insecticidal powder the night before and there seemed to be no ill effects. Rain fell that same night and the leaves were splashed with dirt from the pots so I decided to "rinse" them off with a fungicidal spray of potassium bicarbonate. At the time I was confident this would have no ill effects but now I am wondering if I just didn't remember previous phytotoxic effects caused by this spray. I am also thinking that because I didn't measure the amount of sticker spreader, I may have overdosed the mix and that caused some of the burning by literally breaking through any protective covering on the leaves and possibly penetrating the plant cells. As I sprayed the leaves water soaked spots immediately appeared and within a few hours there was obvious curling and burn, particularly on spots that had small clumps of insecticidal powder. Throughout this past week the visual symptoms of phytotoxicity progressed so much that by the middle of the week I settled my mind that this grow would be terminated this weekend. On Friday night when I came home and saw the plants in the dark I was more hopeful and in the light of day on Saturday morning I was quite pleased with their recovery. Lots of the oldest fan leaves were almost completely brown and yellow with light green veins and some newer leaver have been deformed. Thankfully there is little visual damage to most of the newest growth and after removing the worst of the damaged leaves I am remain hopeful for this grow. Continuing my theme of living in the moment of the grow, I am choosing to think of this incident two ways. First as a "trial by fire" for the plants that only the strongest leaves survived and second as chemical pruning of leaves that I would have removed anyway, just not quite yet. I will be seeking thoughts on the forum as to whether these plants still have hope or if unseen damage has been done that will eventually ruin them. Regardless, I will progress with this grow as long as possible to see for myself what the actual long term effects are. I have also noted what seem to be big hairy balls growing on plant #2 and have asked the forum their opinion. In keeping with my plan to quadline these plants I have clipped the last untopped plant and removed nodes 1 and 2 of all plants. After doing these procedures the plants really just look like heavily defoliated specimens waiting for further training, I am pleased. Despite the phytotoxicity, there was enough growth of the 4 new stems of plants 3-5 that I was able to tie them down. I am waiting for confirmation that #2 is a male to cull it, if not I will tie it down as well. Only fed yesterday because I was watching to see how the plants would do over the week. Wednesday, 02-03-2022 Culled confirmed male plant, thanks @m0use πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘Š! Fed and foliar sprayed with 12 ml/gal CAB and 7.5 ml/gal Cytokin. Used 9ml Ph down in 5 gallon tap water. Ph using ph paper 😞 was approximately 5.0 so I added unph'd 500 ml tapwater to my jug and added the 5.0 water to complete the gallon. Ph was approximately 6.

The Do-Si-Dos Auto has some huge heavy buds and it definitely could've benefited from more LST but I'm I didn't have the room

Cruise control. Her drinking is slowing and she is not asking for anything. Just plain Watering on Tuesday and Friday... Literally that's it. 😁 Included is a little video right before lights on. Oh and I harvested the Pineapple glue Auto ... 😎 Thank you all for looking. Happy growing. Note* In the Nutrients section, it has the craft Blend listed. It's just to satisfy the Diaries 😟 face during update. No nutrients were added this week.

This week has been cold in the grow room with day time temps at 16c and night time around 12-13c. Growth this week has been quite slow and I wonder what has the biggest impact on growth rate. Is it temperature, light intensity or soil moisture levels? I've had the light at 25% since germination and wonder if it would be beneficial to start increasing the light levels or wait until they're more established before doing this. If anyone happens to read this and has thoughts about how to encourage faster growth, I'd be interested to hear.
