What an incredible grow this has been! It's definitely up there with my best and favorite indoor grows I've done on Grow Diaries so far. It had a strong, resilient and beautiful growth from the first week when it fell all the way to harvest. Definitely an easy plant to grow that had an amazing pay off in the end. I think it's safe to say that anyone could grow this strain with mid level supplies and minimal experience and get good results. If I ran more powerful lights and kept a more comfortable environment (humidity etc) I don't see why my yields couldn't get even better with each grow. Even at the 4 ounces of good smokeable buds and 1 and 1/2 of trim and larf I was very satisfied .
After drying and curing the plant had a strong smell with hints of flowers and sweet fruit. The taste was subtle fruity and sweet too.
Where the Blue Monkey really shines is with making concentrates. I was able to do a few different projects with it. First I did some rosin pressing where the return rate was just barely under a 20%, which is very good. A 4 gram squish giving .8 gram back, that's the best return I've gotten off just bud, no kief or hash pressing. Then I decided to make some rick simpson oil. Ground buds and trim, decarb it, put it into the jars with high proof alcohol 150+, let it sit and shake overnight and then strain into a dark tincture, then use double boiler with no open flames to evaporate all of the alcohol out, and suck up into some syringes. I got 12 ml total...which is equal to 12 grams of RSO. It was awesome, you can smoke it, use it for edibles, a good diverse concentrate.
* Don't forget to make your mom a care package, she'll be happy.💚
All in all this was the most productive, and educational grow I've had all year. Not to mention the plant and buds were just gorgeous!
Thank you @exoticseed this was an amazing seed you created.

Smell of the plant is amazing. Smells like red Berries. Buds got huge and medium dense. I only harvested the 3 main buds as they are developed the most. The rest of the plant can stay for one more week.
I Also removed some dead leaves.

6/13/25 everything is coming along smoothly for the Divine Rapier autos. I had to pick a seed shell off of the more scraggly looking one but they’re green and happy In their environment except for the weird one that had the cotyledon leaves come out the seed before the tap root. Her tap root started to grow up out of the soil and that made me think that maybe I was wrong so I tried to bury her slightly so that maybe she’d figure it out for herself. She doesn’t seem to be so I may need to pop the 3rd seed
Stay tuned for what comes next. Also check out my X account and YouTube for any extras that I can’t post here. I have a full seed planting video on YouTube of these strains, that is too Long to post on here.

Having to feed every other day and she is drinking 7L of water. (3mL CalMag | 5mL Micro | 5mL Gro | 7.5mL Bloom (per gallon)
She seems to be done stretching.
Did a final prune and have the final form set.
Going to start dialing back the N, she certainly has enough, and going to do a 0.5g top dressing of Sulphur.
I want to start building up the mercaptans but don't want to over acidify the soil and prevent P uptake.
Hopefully fall temperatures kick in soon, I'm seeing peak temps at canopy of 84°F @ 850PARR.
The end of this week will be day 30 of flower (50%) so this will be the last week running this hot.
**Update | She is still stretching**
Plant has great vigor but terp wise so far not really impressed.
Its certainly got some fruit to it but is also has this earthyness to it that just isn't my number.
Regardless the update next week will be good. She is putting on some great colas much faster than its tent mate

Started off by setting up the growing environment and dialling everything in such as;
RO Water for the RDWC hydroponic system.
Water Heater being set at 20 degrees C.
Water chiller being set at 21 degrees C.
pH being set at 5.7/5.8
Room Temp and humidity 20/23 Degrees C / 60%/80%RH.
Instead of using rockwool cubes to place my seeds, I put them directly into the clay pebbles. I then used a DIY humidity dome to place over the seeds until they make an appearance.
I have been top feeding RO water every 6 hours.
Foil was used to cover the net pot to ensure no light leaks were going into the system. Highly important in DWC.
Will add some light nutrients once seeds are more established.
Until the next one!

Day 127 53 Days of flower, First day of Week 18
Day 128 54 Days of flower
Plants look good, they still have some white hairs though.
Day 129 55 Days of flower
Trimmed 1 bud from Plant B but it doesn't seem dry enough yet. Plants A and C look like they keep popping new hairs.
Day 130 56 Days of flower
Chopped Plants A and C and started hang drying them, they look great in my opinion.
Day 131 7 Days of drying for B and D
So the buds seemed dry and the stems snap so I jarred and trimmed. Looks like 3.5 ounces or or so but I didn't Weigh

Seedling is doing well, trying not to over water and keep the RH high around 68-70%. Changed the light schedule to 18/6 mid week. Seems to be doing ok with the slightly colder temps at night. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

This one is the runt of the group, but she is still kicking. Started getting some yellowing on the lower leaves on all the plants. I increased the maxibloom a little today so hoping that makes them a little happier. I also changed the setup where the plants dont sit on top of the reservoir. This will make it easier to adjust the nutes if needed. I also hooked up a valve to adjust the water flow because I had a couple overflows last week. These cups are just packed full of roots. This "little" grow has become a lot of work. Chugging along though....

Week 16 - 06/28 - 07/04
Light - 200 W HPS & 265 W LED
Day Temperature - 78 F
Night Temperature - 68 F
Humidity - 40 +/-5
D59 Flower - Came home from vacation to some fat sugar coated buds! I flushed them with FloraKleen and molasses, this should be the last one before I snip down the main colas. Since they are close to harvest, I spent about an hour defoliating so harvest will go a little quicker.
D60 Flower - So I pulled the ladies out to breathe, take pics, and to do a partial harvest. I cut the main colas off of all the plants and am allowing the lower bud sites to dense up. Until I harvest the lower part, here is the wet weight by plant: RG 1 - 177 g. RG 2 - 214 g. RG Clones - 88

I wanted to use the flowering nutrients (I think it's the bloom nutrients) but it's been raining a lot lately. The soil is still quite saturated so I'll wait and see if it'll dry out a bit in a few days before I give it some food.
So far the trichomes are more visible on both beauties. I've started to trim more of the lower and fan leaves. I would say about 1/4 of the bottom is pretty airy. Working my way up every day.
It has been cold the last 2 days dipping anywhere between 10C to 15C in the evening and day time high of 15C to 18C. It's supposed to heat up (25C-28C) in the next few days but then back with some cold days again. That's the problem with Canadian Mother Nature; can't make up her mind. This will test my plants and see how they do with the ups and downs. Hopefully it won't affect them that much.
I've also started rotating them in case the sun isn't getting certain parts of the plant. I'm not sure if it matters but it isn't cumbersome to do so why not.
So far I've been lucky to not worry about any infestation nor abnormal leaf coloring. I usually do a deep watering only once a week if it's a normal week with no scorching hot days. There was a period of 3 scorching hot days and they definitely were droopy and thirsty. So I must have watered them 3x over a span of 7 days.
Very excited to continue to see them grow into beasts!
