Welcome back✊ Outdoor season is finally showing the labours of love with buds a plenty. Can you feel the excitement? 🙌 Big time aromas in the garden this week are really quite something.👌 Everything from bananas and grapes to sweet & sour citrus and even dirty diaper. What? Yup that's right...My Blue Fire's smell like 💩 just like the clone mother and she's pure FIRE!!! I've grown this strain indoors but this is my first time growing it outside so I'm really looking forward to the outcome. 👍 Sept.14 the girls are putting on some serious weight. Colas are fattening up nicely but with that extra weight I’ve had to add more support and netting. 💪 Sept.15 last night temps got down to 8 celsius (46F) and today's high was 20 (68F). It's supposed to get even colder by the weekend followed by more average temps next week. Please God No Frost.🙏 Sept.16 Warmest day of the week at 25 celsius although very hazy probably due to the wildfires out west. Prayers for y'all out there. 🙏 The garden is looking amazing today with buds fattening up everywhere. Strawberry Banana #1 in front of the wall is furthest behind as far as bud development but is the tallest of the bunch at over 10 feet.👆 Bless that momma👏 Sept. 17 and just my luck Trainwreck #1 has a bit of bud rot on the 2 big main colas.😠 Damn I babied that girl and kept her dry her entire life. WTF Sucks having to harvest her early but shit happens so the 2 colas got chopped this morning and are hanging to dry. On the bright side, one of the colas wet weight was almost 11 ounces. Sept. 18 & 19 overnight temps got down to 4°C luckily no frost. Sept. 20 and most of the potted girls fan leaves are starting to yellow. Good sign that they are using up their last bit of nutrients from the leaves themselves. I’m guessing 1 or 2 more weeks and my first round of girls will be getting no more nutrients and starting their final flush. Trainwreck and Blue Fire are the furthest along while the wall girls are a couple weeks behind especially Strawberry Banana. That’s it for now Til next time... Be well and see ya soon

This was a great experience and something I have looked forward to for 19 YEARS!!!!!! Thats right, my very first attempt was a summer when I was 14 in a backyard with mediocre results and no flower but that was my very first grow ever. 19 years later its fully legal and here I am getting 36 grams of decent bud grown by the sun in a very questionable cannabis climate!!! NO COMPLAINTS HERE!!!!!!!😋 This diary was never about getting giant buds or the best flowers but more about I'm growing ORGANIC PINEAPPLE EXPRESS IN MY BACKYARD literally a dream come true, to do this worry free, 100% legal. As far as the grow goes I will certainly have some new strategies next year, I think a plastic pot would have been better to keep the heat in at night time with the cool temps earlier on in summer. Maybe even some minor insulation would be a good idea?!?! I'll invent the canadian outdoor cannabis pot hahahah I did not scrog the lady but I did use some yoyos to pull down the outer branches to help the flowers get even light. Will try folair feeding as well next time. I also dried her outside! and trimmed her outside to, she got the full outdoor experience. I just cut the plant and hung her under the deck, worked out good as it was a fairly dry week and she dried out fairly slowly, a little quicker than the tent plants. Now in about a week or 2, maybe a small cure at least first I will be doing the end game goal, smoking endless doobies of pineapple express while watching pineapple express!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone for following along, next year I hope to double this number!! Just for the challenge 😎

The harvest of my dear Stella was supposed to happen on August 4th, but didn’t begin actually until August 9th. I decided to allow her to dry out a bit before beginning the harvest, but I had some other difficulties which made her dry out a whole lot before I ever even got started. You can tell how dry by looking at the pics and video. Luckily, the dryness was limited to her larger leaves. She was already quite dry on the 9th when I started, and was more so by the 12th when I finished. Even after the advanced drying, her wet trimmed weight was still quite a bit. I’ll list the weights all together in a bit. It took 4 days to get the whole plant trimmed, weighed, and hung up for final drying. She was hung up from August 12th till Friday, August 19th. I got busy harvesting another plant while she was hanging up, and just let her be. On August 19th I took all of her branches down and removed the buds to get the true harvest weight of her buds alone. Let’s get to the weight of the whole thing. The overall wet-trimmed weight of the plant was 18.329 ounces with the buds and branches combined. I was a forgetful idiot and forgot to get the weight of the dry buds on the branches before removing the buds. So all we’re left with is the actual harvest weight of the dry buds alone. The overall dry bud weight, or actual “true” harvest weight of the smokable bud is: 7.317 ounces. That’s a wonderful amount of freshly harvested bud to cure. All of the buds were put into 8 quart sized jars filled roughly 3/4 full, and 1 pint sized jar, also 3/4 full. Each jar has a hygrometer as well as 58% bóveda packs to help aid the curing process. This is the 2nd DarkStar plant I’ve harvested, and both were very large plants. I used a scrog method the first time with a net that spread the whole plant out taking up the entire 4x4 area of the tent. This time I wanted to let her grow more naturally. She got so large that I had to bend almost all of her taller branches over using HST methods. I had to bend 3-5 branches over more than once. By doing that, once her buds began to fatten up she got too heavy and needed to be supported just to stand upright. Toward the end she had to literally be tied up to the side of the tent. Stella (DarkStar) was a wonder to grow, and she gave me a good amount of clones that will soon be harvested themselves. It has been a journey with Stella, and I’m happy that the journey is now complete. Happy growing everyone!

Clone 1is growing normal now. Lots of branching. Plus she pit on st least a inch a day in height. So she is growing great. I am not sure what I will do with her. I may move it to a bigger potter then flower it in the tent it was in. It is now just vegging in my autoflower room in a corner under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. Thank you Pure Instinto Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

They're really starting to bush out, I think I'm liking the topping of all tops on the whole plant 1 time. Makes it easy to train as well. We'll see how they compare in harvest amount to my LST long veg plants.

Week 1 of flower for Kalini Asia by Zamnesia seeds Fed her 2.7g of BioBloom per L of soil, watered that in and flipped it to flower 24hours ago. As more room opens up in the tent ill spread her out a little more. Also not going to go crazy defoliating.

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... My cute Red Mandarine. Hopefully streching stops bud sites are appearing pistils are coming out showing her sex. Good job Sweet Seeds..... Nice lady I wanna see that red colour lol Fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix and ratio above. Let's go ;)

First few tiny pistils but still going to count this week as veg. Extra light setup. Going to have to start removing some of the larger leaves that block light from the branches. Want to get it done before next week when the lights go on full. I don't normally like videos for this but...

Flush week, so surreal to see the birth and death cycle of these alien plants. it's as if we're the creators of their universe.

They gained a lot of height last week. As I said I was 2 times there watering my plants because of the extreme heatwave in my country. But my plants really love the weather here and grow and grow.

Approaching the finish line. Fertilizer is now at its final dose. Both plants stopped growing now and started to build thick buds. Ken in fact is way ahead in terms of buds but it might be because he Hase a little bit less in number. It’s possible that I trained Ryu too much for his pot size 😆😆. But let’s see. Both looking very good and a lot more powerful than in my first grow. Water intake is still massive. The top soil is rock solid while draining water super fast which must mean the pots are filled with massive roots. The erected teeth came down a bit but they were never that severe in the first place so I’m still not worried about that. I skipped one day of watering to account for possible slight overfeeding but I mean, today’s watering then was with the increased dose of fert 😆😆. I know I’m pushing it a little bit but that’s deliberate. I have high demands both in mass and quality so my approach is riding the edge as good as possible from the beginning 😆

Going into the last week of feeding and the girls are looking great! A couple of the plants have a little nute burn on some of the leaves from being pushed a little too hard. Other than that everything else is looking green and healthy. The girls are stinking up the place with an earthy, floral, funky, gorilla glue smell. Almost ready to start their 2 week flush. Cheers everyone!
