I have decided to harvest a little bit early so spider mites don't come back and the weather is favorable for drying this week.
After the chop, I also did bud wash with 3 buckets: 1.
5 gallons of water and a cup of lemon juice and a cup of soda bicarbonate
2. Warm water
3. Coldwater
There were tons of nasty stuff left in water. After washing I left them to dry under a fan and shook them off to remove as much water as possible and then
put back into the tent to dry with a dehumidifier and outtake on with 2 oscillating fans NOT pointed at the plants. Humidity is currently around 55%.
After the first day of drying, I realized I will not be able to control good conditions in my tent for drying so I moved the plant to hang dry in the climatized room for a second day.
During the second day, I trimmed buds and removed stems and then put them in brown paper bags to slow down the drying process. After 2 days of drying buds now weigh around 240 g,
Humidity spiked to 87% outside on the third day and I had to constantly run A/C and a dehumidifier to keep the room at around 20 C and barely 55-60 % humidity.
Grew tired of this so I tried something new from the third day. It's called Lotus curing and drying and works with any frost-free fridge. I put brown paper bags with buds inside the fridge at around 7-12 C and the humidity in the fridge is around 40-50%. I also have temperature and humidity probe in one brown paper bag so I can react if it dries to fast. Humidity is hovering around 70-80% currently and my plan is to manipulate humidity inside the fridge by opening it, adding moisture, or regulate temp so humidity drop as slow as possible. When it hits less than 72% when tested outside the fridge in the room temps I will start normal curing process in jars.
After a week of drying in the fridge, jars are in the drawer curing right now. I sample tested one Dynavap bowl and flavor is decent with the sweet scent but it still needs a bit more time to be perfect.
High was the same as my first Sweet tooth grow, the main thing I felt after finishing Dynavap bowl was calm and relaxed with time slowing down.

Flowering Week 24: Autumn Whispers & Yellow Leaf Mysteries
Update: 28.08.2025 | Day 171
Whatās good, Growmies? Hope your own gardens are treating you right as summer starts to fade. Temps are dipping to around 20Ā°C here, and the ladies are feeling the shift. Didnāt do much this week ā sometimes less is more.
Noticed a few things, though:
Zero pests ā and I mean clean ā but up on Blueberryās top budsites, some yellow leaves are showin'. Doesnāt look like nitrogen ā more like iron maybe? Wondering if the Bokashi juice dropped the pH a bit too hard. Thought about breakin' out the mineral nutes (Terra Aquatica TriPart flashed through my mind), but nahā¦ Iām stickin' to the organic path. What do you guys think?
Durban Poison
Buds are bulkin' up nice ā fattenin' by the day. Purple pistils poppinā on every cola. Looks killer. Deeper inside the canopy, some lower yellow leaves (classic nitrogen fade), but nothin' to stress over. Sheās healthy where it counts.
Blueberry
Still stretchin' ā slowly but surely. More pistils showin' now, and yeah, those calyxes are takin' on a sweet purple hue. Smellās still light ā neighbors are safeā¦ for now.
Next Steps
- Keep an eye on that iron-like yellowing ā act if it spreads
- Stay vigilant for pests tryna hide in new buds
- Keep pickin' off old leaves ā mold prevention is key
- Maybe one more light defoliation on Durban ā open her up just a touch more
Thatās all for this week, folks.
Catch yāall next time.

Loud hashy, pepper, sulfur, rotten fruit, lemon, and Skittles terps.
The landraces got nice structure, terps and yield but resin is lacking. I think that's normal. Gonna have to cross these a few times till I find something great that is worth it.

What's up growmies,
We reached the final stages...almost ready to cut. Its probably going to take an extra week compared to the Strawberry Cola. But the productions is maybe 30% more on this one. Veery long staked colas. Starting at the bottom of the plant all the way to the top. Sweet and fruity smells and drinking almost double the š§ water compared to her neighbour.
One more week of nutes and then another week with plain water is what she'll have probably.
The root is a giant, white ball filling half the bucket space. I've used great white which from my experience is very very good. Doesn't perform miracles like Jesus though. The water temps in the reservoir needs to be in the correct range or else it almost always will develop phytium.
If you can't keep the water cool ( 17/21ĀŗC) you're better off with a steril system using H2O2.
See you guys next week.
Good grows

Day 80
This morning I started defoliating Tropicana. She will be in the darkness for the next days. I already harvested a part of the head flower and let it dry trimmed. Because of extreme weather conditions and very high humidity I got a little bud rott. I found it out quit early I think. So I hope nothing will not happen any more. Just harvesting relaxed and drink a Tropicana tee.
Day 81
I decided to cut her down in the evening. The humidity in the basement room is high and I donāt want to risk here anything anymore. Waiting for my first homegrown weed to be vaped.
Day 82
Tropicanas flowers hanging to dry in my basement. I check them once per day with a strong light.
Day 83
Same same. The smell is wonderful like a bit of gas combined with a fruity flower bouquet. Our neighbors in the house like the smell, too. š
Day 84
I could try my first homegrown weed. Itās absolutely tasty and have a very smooth vape. I was very surprised cause itās not cured yet. A longer vape report will follow when itās dried and cured.
Day 88
All flowers, sugar- and tee leafs are trimmed and filled in glasses for curing. I open twice per day for 20 minutes. Boveda packs 58% inside.
I will fill out the rest of the diarie when my buds are dried, cured and vaped. So far this was a very exciting journey for me. Growing cannabis and even legal on our balcony. Feels still a bit unreal, but itās real!
Thank you for reading my diary! Thanks to all the people who worked on legalizing cannabis in Germany, especially to the āDeutscher Hanfverband (DHV)ā!
I will give more updates and write a vape report after curing several weeks. Maybe with some Tropicana Cookies baked in Comfreys garden kitchen.

Now this baby was a delight to grow and grew real big. I decided to leave this lady to do her own thing and she ended up finishing just short of 6ft! The main cola was huge and juicy and all round the end result was really nice and super strong just the way it should be.

May 23rd - Day 93 : So intricate moment here. I'm considering harvesting one of the two, but a friend is telling me to wait till it's 20% amber or at least more cloudy. He's an experienced grower and has been of a precious help from the start. This grow is dedicated to my boy Droomba. I'm at week 7 of flowering and Fastbuds says 7 weeks. I'm going to push it for a week or two

Very nice plant to grow. Beautiful flowers covered with trichomes. The smell is very lemon citrus flavourt. She gave a bit of a stretch. I think she isnāt the biggest yielder but definitely quality over quantity. Later on the results. Very pleased sofar!
I underestimate the density of the buds. Dry weight 375 gram of 5 plants. Pheno number 2 yielded almost 100 gram!
Powerfull lemon flavour with a touch of sour. Running pheno number 2 again!

20/02: The plants are overall reacting well to the larger dose of nutrients especially the ignitor - there are lots of bud sites throughout. I was under watering some plants which has resulting in wilting stems and leaves - will move onto 1 litre of water every other day from next week. 1 OG kush and 1 White Widow is lagging behind but we'll get there. Good strong stalks mostly for all the plants. Gave the a hefty defoliation this week also trimming the fan leaves and letting light penetrate the lower branches and bud sites.

Week 18, and my buds are on a growth spree ā they're growing and growing, reaching for the stars! But here's the funny part ā I can actually smell them now when I open the tent. It's like a fragrant leafy surprise every time I peek inside.
As I watch my buds plump up and expand, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. It's like witnessing a tiny leafy miracle unfold before my eyes. Here's to Week 18 ā a week of growth, fragrance, and the pure joy of watching nature at its best. Cheers to my amazing garden ā may it continue to bloom and delight in the weeks to come! šæš¼

The harvest came pretty soon compared to my others autos under a 12/12 schedule and the yield is more than satisfying for me since the grow were done one 7L pot.
The taste is far away from a real cookie strain but also far away from the average
The effect is pretty positive on the body and mind , you will not get too stone but you'll also not be too high ( No deep reflection or philosophical thought but maybe a higher conscience of everything's)
One month later : The jar is now empty , I feel like I smoked only that one during the last 30 days , of course I did smoke some of my other strain but I was always coming back to that one. One day I gave 2g to a friend and I instantanously regret it š

Hello Growmies! šæš
Welcome to Week 17 of our Epic Buzz journey! We're observing some noticeable progression in our plants, and we're nearly at the finish line with the next entry poised to be our final harvest week!
Hereās the breakdown for our Epic Buzz phenotypes:
Pheno #1 is thriving with its buds thickening up nicely, showcasing a frosty appearance that promises high-quality resin production.
Pheno #2 remains a bit smaller in comparison, yet it's catching up with an increase in bud density and trichome development.
Pheno #3 stands out with its robust growth and resin-packed buds that are slightly ahead in terms of maturity compared to its siblings.
As we approach the harvest, maintaining optimal environmental conditionsāconsistent humidity and temperatureāis more crucial than ever to maximize their potential.
Stay tuned for our final week's update, and as always, stay lifted! šš±

DAY 1 (06/03/2020)
The seedlings started growing tonight after 4 days since they were planted inside the rockwool cube (02/03/2020). They are under a 23w CFL until they are a little taller and start to make the first 2 leaves. The distance is very small from the light to not get them too stretched. Feeding just water now. I already prepared the RDWC setup with a 60 liters box (0,6 m x 0,4 m x 0,25 m) for 3 plants. The grow tent is 120x120 cm. The light will be a Sylvania 600w HPS powered by a Gib Ligthing LXG Timer 600w Electronic Ballast. Since it is dimmable I will start with 250w and increase in the first weeks until reaching 600w. The ballast has the Sunlight mode which increase the wattage of the lamp during the first hour and decrease during the last to simulate the sun cycle.
DAY 5 (10/03/2020)
Seedling are growing well. I started RDWC yesterday and put 25 liters of water with 15 ml of FloraCoco Grow, 15 ml of FloraMicro,15ml of FloraBloom. I also added 5 ml of Great White Mycorrhizae to strengthen roots. The water from my tap is 40 ppm , the water in the reservoir is 500 ppm. Increased power light to 350w. Temperature and Humidity when lights on: 23Ā°C and 35%. Added a humidifier inside the room to increase humidity.
