| 📅 Week 2 | Days 8 - 14 | 💡 562w 📏38' | | 🌡️️🌞 81 - 84 | | 🌡️️🌑 77 - 80 | 11/16 Reservoir swap with a fresh batch of nutrients with Hydro-guard+Cali-mag PH'ed at 5.7. Raised the wattage to 562w and the light by a few inches. 11/17 PHed reservoir water to 5.8 PH and readjusted the air-tubes to make access easier. 11/18 Water added and PHed at 5.6. More Hydro-ton was added to the net-pots of plants that are ready. 11/19 Reservoir PHed at 5.8 for each plant. The temperatures are a little high from the wattage increase in the light so I raised the light more to reduce it. 11/20 Plants are looking healthy! Reservoirs PHed to 5.6 and water was added. Back right plant has genetic instability's but we're going to give her a chance for science. 11/21 PHed the water targeting 5.9. Started pulling the intake to reduce temperatures outside as the weather gets colder outside. 11/22 Added water the reservoir and PH adjusted to 5.8. Added the upper fans to the tent for increased air circulation. Overall this week was fantastic and I'm looking forward to the lapse going on from here! The plants are healthy despite one plant showing genetic issues the rest are looking great so far. The growth this week was explosive and I suspect this next week is going to be just as so. Hopefully I will find a solution to the lines in the time-lapse caused by increasing the wattage such as a lens or something. Please feel free to leave any questions below 😎

Day 45 from seed and I moved thm to the new house, finally all my drying and cleaning is done 😅 Day 45 and TP1 is officially taler then all of the CS 😅 what an amazing recovering she’s doing 🙌💚 loving how great the Tropicanas from @sweetseeds are growing 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌soon I will star training this girls to a full canopy, lets see how they react to low stress and some “kirotherapy “ TP2 still amazing and so far the biggest of them all 😁😅💚🙌 Day 45 and CS3 is now the queen from the Chocolates, she took CS1 place and looks like from the 3 she will b the winner 😆 starting the low stress training and all on them soon too 😊💚 Day 45 and i change my lights to 14h lights on 5h dark 1h lights on ( this is just to avoid them changing to flower) and 4h dark again this way i save on the electric bill and they get to rest better. I only recommend doing this if you have enough ppfd in your room, this will avoid you lokking at them slipping with the ligths on 😅 trust me if you have enough ppfd they will get to a point were they will go to sleep lights on or off. Read your plants if you don’t have tools 😉💚 Day 50 Transplant to final pot , 5gallon is the final destination 😅 so far so good, supper happy with my girls roots, as i always say, take care of your roots and they will take care of your bud later on, and with them in general. Day 50 and from the Chocolates the CS3 keeps going faster then the other 2, CS2 keep making mutant leafs and CS1 shes amazing but the grow is just not as good as CS3. Day 50 and both Tropicanas are looking amazing, TP1 is completely recovered from her accident and she created an amazing nod were she was once broken, TP2 keeps on going as it should 🙌🙌🙌🙌 they are some hard litle girls this ones 😅🙌🙌🙌 Day 50 and i gave them all 3,5 L off water with ph at 6.7 EC 1.0 @545Ppms now i will give them a couple of days and then let the games begin 😅 Little battle between Topicanna Poisen from @sweetseeds vs Chocolate Skunk from @00Seeds (just for fun) TP = Tropicana Poison CS = Chocolate Skunk Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro at 75% All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!!! Stay safe and do it with love for the love ❤️ 🙏 💚Growers Love to you all 💚

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

Hey welcome back in the 6th week of flowering with the Dutch Passion’s Colorado Cookies. In this week I have nothing special to tell actually, everything goes well and everything looks good. Next week I will only be giving the CannaZym and Canna Boost, after that week it wil be the 8th and last week of flowering. I will take that week to flush here and let her dry out in the last 2 days. As soon as she hangs to dry ill put the other 2 cookies (which are in the cabin now) in the main flower tent to see if I can still let the buds explode (hopefully). Thast it for now see you all back next week!

This girl is still going great! She takes whatever you swing at her. The Ayahuasca Purple where not so forgiving... lol overall this girl is on track to finish here in the week or 2 so we are dialling back the nutrients now( more for the Ayahuasca Purple though) and she is already fading out same as the purple. We will probably start looking at cutting her end of next week I would think. Got some more girls ready to take over the rent in the tent so sooner is better then later...lol Cheers 💨

Week 4 flower: all 3 plants left in the tent are pollinated - it's hard to tell to what extent but bud formation has slowed down 😞. Middle plant (Mimosa Evo #2) is definitely the strongest pheno and its trichomes smell like tangerines which is really nice! We did an intense defoliation on Day 24 of flower in an attempt to lower humidity and increase airflow but RH is still dangerously high at 80% because of the current weather. Also gave them a bloom PK top dressing on day 26 because canna coco does not provide a PK boost in their coco nutrient line. Hope to see the buds dense up over the next few weeks without too many seeds ...

The aloe seems to have taken hold in the plant's nutrients just as we approached 130 days and the buds perfect, we're almost there. Getting ready to consider a good flushing.

It weather continues to stay rainy- and she starts to mold, we will harvest instantly.

On week 4 now since repot Seen some rapid growth this week Started lst the main stem Will wait for the rest to catch up and then the scrog is going up. Not sure if anyone can tell me why the one in the top left is slightly of coloured as its been having exactly the same nuits as the others. Perhaps it's down to genetics maybe.

We are so close now! I noticed a small patch of amber trichomes on the main bud so we’re finally on the home stretch! It feels like it’s been forever!! But she’s stacking nicely, her water uptake is starting to slow, so I think she’s had enough too. I think another week of nutes, then a two week flush and we should be somewhere about there! It’s the final countdown!
