This strains aroma is intoxicating, first test on 8/26. Smoked 3/4 of a big bowl And the high is a 8/10. Will cure for another 2 weeks and reassess..... at 66% humidity right now, Amber jar burping 1-2 times a day. 9/9 second test. same great taste and smell. Accidentally got too high and forgot to cover jar so humidity is around 48%. Smoked 3/4 of a small bowl and was really high all night.

14.11.2025 Was going to close the diary today but as it doesn't smell anymore I decided to close the diary this coming Tuesday, smell shifted from chemical fish ammonia to cooked fish with the additional Citric acid I sprayed in, rest in video 📸 🐟💀 FERMAKOR: The Dorade Incident – Spontaneous Batch Log (Because the fish came with guts, and I don’t waste potential) --- 🍽️ How It Started I ordered two big Dorades for dinner. Didn’t bother ticking the “cleaned” box. They arrived whole — full organs, eyes staring, one of them with a stomach packed with broken seashells (free CaCO₃ bonus). So instead of complaining, I just said: “Alright, fine. Dinner first. Hydrolysis later.” --- ⚗️ Phase 1 — The Gut Start (Day 1) Material: 160 g of fresh guts straight from the fish. KOH: 20 g (yep, strong ratio, I know). Water: ~250 mL warm. Dissolved KOH → poured over → stirred → left to liquefy. Within minutes it warmed up and foamed; by evening it was already turning into that deep brown, oil-slick mix I like. --- Phase 2 — The Rest Goes In (Day 2) After dinner, all the remaining parts go into the same container: Heads, bones, fins, skin — roughly 500–600 g. Add another 30–35 g KOH and ~0.5 L water. Stir and let it digest for a week or two or three, until smooth. The seashells stay in — they buffer the pH and slowly release Ca and trace minerals. --- ⚖️ Phase 3 — Neutralization Once the mix settles, I’ll neutralize down to pH 6.2–6.4 using phosphoric acid. Target ~40 mL of 59 % H₃PO₄ for the whole thing. Then strain through cheesecloth / pillowcase (no coffee filter — that’s only for exports 😎). --- Storage Bottled in brown flip-top German beer bottles. Label: “FERMAKOR FISH BASE – DORADE INCIDENT – 2025-11-06” Shake before use, store dark. --- 🌿 Application 10 mL per 30 L barrel mid-flower as amino + micro boost. Clean N-P-Ca + enzymes, zero smell, instant uptake.

Week 4 and I’m really looking forward to harvest now, density on the peyote it’s quite firm to to the touch which is great as I am only using a 250w HPS. Starting a bit of LST to the taller one; was getting too close to the light for my liking. And some also light defoliation here and there on both to help the light penetrate to the lower buds. The LSD has made a comeback and is starting to look just as the frosty as the other girls but still doesn’t look as though it will yield the same, that said I think it still has a bit more work to do. Week 5 coming up... until then

11/28/2020 She is starting to grow some pistils not as much as I would expect, But I can see in her leaves she is getting her nutes ! 12/01/2020 She's showing!, I do love how she is stacking uP👍 feeding 1 tbls blood meal blended into top soil, and watering to 10% runoff That should help into her stretch. Next feed will be wk.6 4-9-3 and last feeding.

Tough week lol after some trial and error due to germinating in paper towel and placing directly into 3 gal pot killed the first seed of seeds I believe due to under watering :( Tried germinating in paper towel this time, THEN transferred to peat pellet once root came out about 1/2 inch. Misted top and placed in a tray with a humidity dome and a heating mat, keeping temp around 81. Waiting til 2-3 leaves come up so I can transfer. Anyone know if I should be adding light yet? Or no? Thanks everyone!! If it wasn’t for ur advice I would no be here lol. 🌱🌱🌱 til next week 🙏🏼

Bienvenidos a la semana #4 Día #25 (05/06) Salir al exterior ha vuelto sedientas a todas las plantas (también hay mucha evaporación por la parte superior del substrato) Se riega con 250 ml de agua con Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom y Top Max de Biobizz, ya que todas las plantas han empezado la prefloración Día #26 (06/06) Las Orion F1 no están reaccionando bien al LST. El crecimiento está estancado. No se si he empezado demasiado pronto o esta strain no lo tolera bien. Decido deshacerlo y dejarlas crecer libremente Tal vez retomarlo más tarde cuando empiecen a crecer las ramas laterales... Decido añadir 2 cm de substrato "nuevo" en cada maceta porque el nivel ha bajado demasiado. Entiendo que esto también ayudará a la estabilidad ☺️ Dia #27 (07/06) Todas las plantas han tenido que volver al interior por la inestabilidad meteorológica Crystal Candy XL Auto está creciendo como un cohete! Hay que ajustar el LST todos los días. Ya empieza a parecer una araña! Me encanta cuando veo estas configuraciones en los LST de los diarios y lo estoy consiguiendo 😁 Royal Bluematic también está creciendo muy rápido Northern Lights está algo más lenta. Espero que despegue cuando llegue al stretch Las Orion F1 han reaccionado bien al LST deshecho 😂 Día #29 (09/06) Hace un día soleado y las plantas vuelven al exterior 😋 Ha hecho un día muy cálido y todas las plantas están "secas" Se riegan todas con 250 ml de agua con ph ajustado excepto Northern Lights, que al estar en maceta de tela y más grande (15 litros), se riega con 500 ml de agua ph ajustada El riego siempre alterno sólo agua ph ajustado y agua con es con Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom y Top Max de Biobizz y ajuste de pH Crystal Candy XL Auto y Royal Bluematic siguen creciendo rápido. Muy rápido en comparación con Orion F1 y Northern Lights que van más lentas... Día #30 (10/06) Hoy ha habido una sorpresa muy especial Crystal Candy XL Auto se está volviendo morada / púrpura! 😍 Al principio pensé que lo había visto mal, porque no he visto ningún diario en que esta strain se vuelva púrpura, pero la mía lo está haciendo! 😁 Estoy muy contento porque siempre he querido cultivar una variedad morada! 😁 Además, ha entrado oficialmente en la etapa de floracion Royal Bluematic sigue creciendo rápido y adaptandose estupendamente al LST Orion F1 parece que está cogiendo algo de velocidad Northern Lights sigue su crecimiento lento. A ver si se acelera! Día #31 (11/06) Esta ha sido la última semana de vegetativo. A ver si las que van más lentas aumentan el tamaño con el stretch! Esto es todo por esta semana Gracias por leerme!

So, my "Skunk" puppies are always curious to see what I am doing when I am gardening. They are mischievous and would destroy my plants if I didn't have a fence around them. Miss Skunk grew 4 inches this week! And my two new branches grew a lot, too. I took a picture of my hand behind one of the lateral growths. I think it is doing very well. They grew about 1 inch this week. I started nutrients this week.

I know you shouldn't really be defoliating when auto plants are in flower but I had to clear a path for airflow around the bottom of the plant because humidity is high because of the summer months apart from that she is going from strength to strength couldn't be happier would definitely grow Dutch passion again

The colours are popping! I’ve started to taper off the nutrients, I don’t typically “flush” the plants, but rather taper nutrients down until I have been able to give straight phd water for the last 3-4 feeds, making sure to water until I get about 5-10% runoff. I’ve tried both methods , the other being that I pour like 10 gallons of water through the plant, and I can’t tell the difference with my smoke, still clean and very tasty. I did a small defoliation at the end of the week, and added a support pole for the 1 lady in the far back, she was already starting to lean… just a couple of weeks to go !
