----- Week 7 ------ Still on rebound from nutrient deficiency , ( Magnesium) / Nutrient Lockout & maybe salt build up . I made too strong soil, With my additional amendments ( Which Gaia has most already ) . Basically double down on 4 of them . Working on the canopy and making sure the lower leafs are getting light , and even. It feels shes a week or two behind --------------------------------------------------------------- ----- AI Trouble Shooting ----- --------------------------------------------------------------- I use Claude AI to help with python / php programming, so I figured I'd run my soil recipe through this AI. Asked if there would be any issues, Pretty good response! Here was the response. ( I troubleshot the plant prior ) " Potential Issues: Salt Build-up: Worm castings + Bone Fish Meal together can lead to salt accumulation Watch for leaf tip burning or nutrient lockout Nutrient Overlap/Excess: Multiple calcium sources (Gypsum + Bone Fish Meal) Could potentially lock out magnesium uptake if too concentrated pH Considerations: Bone Fish Meal can lower pH over time Gypsum is pH neutral but can affect nutrient availability Deficiency Risks: Magnesium might become deficient due to high calcium levels Iron availability might be reduced due to pH fluctuations Nitrogen could become limited during heavy flowering "

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 😎

🌸 Flowering Week 8 — Mid Bloom Madness! 🔥❄️ Week 8 and she’s officially in her prime. Buds are swelling harder every day — stacking tight, pistils turning color, and the frost level just exploded this week. Trichomes are covering everything like sugar dust ❄️✨ Aroma also jumped to a new level… sweet, fruity and loud as soon as the tent unzips. Energy is still strong, leaves healthy, and she’s cruising through mid-bloom like a champ. counting down to the final push — next weeks should be all about density + resin 👑🌿

18.12.24 BT#53 Servus liebe Growmie's ✌️ Die Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle von Barney's Farm macht sich einfach nur gut. Jetzt gibt es für Sie nur noch Ph angeglichenes Wasser lasse sie noch bis zum Blütetag 60 dann kommt der Cut. Sie riecht so stark nach Zitrone was mich auf den ersten Test freue lässt,generell was ihr Geschmack mir auf der Zunge bereitet. Sie ist jetzt mit dem Purpeln was die Blätter angeht auf den Höhepunkt, auch Ihre Buds haben noch mal richtig zugelegt. Die hellgrünen Buds sind überzogen mit Tricome die jetzt alle Milchig sind aber noch nicht genügend Bernsteinfarbende. Aber es sind noch 7 Tage da kommt noch was also freut euch auf das nächste Update bis dahin stay High. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 🍀😋 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 18.12.24 BT#53 Hello dear Growmie's ✌️ The Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle from Barney's Farm is doing just fine. Now she only needs pH-adjusted water until flowering day 60 then the cut comes. She smells so strongly of lemon which makes me look forward to the first test, generally what her taste gives me on the tongue. She is now at the peak of her purple leaves, and her buds have also really grown again. The light green buds are covered with tricomes which are now all milky but not yet sufficiently amber-colored. But there are still 7 days to go so look forward to the next update until then stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 🍀😋

wou wou wou .... do you see all that beautiful meat over those rigid stems ??? I would give him a nice bite over mmmm there is a great smell in a pot! being together with you is always a joy, Brothers and sisters farmers

Last crop in this run.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Alle 3 Babys haben sich von der Größe her nochmal verdoppelt in der Blütephase. Habe gestern noch CANNA Terra Flores Düngemittel für die Blütephase gekauft. Ich hoffe dass es jetzt nicht schon zu spät ist für die Anwendung?

Week 9 july 5th plants seem to be doing well fed 17/17/17 all purpose bi dilution 10gr/40L Next week is time for topping and a bit of defoliation i think depending on plant structure and growth stay tuned 🙌🏼

I attempt to do an early SCROG but the plants are already too rigid for that, so i will train the branches and the trunk slowly to soften the tissues. My objectif is to do a U SCROG.

The flowering continues, only on one branch I went wrong I think the bud will not grow .. The girls are suffering from N deficiency (?) Or from continuous changes of Ph (?) Who is more experienced tell me .. Hope flowering finish well, I add some N. Besides, the heat is advancing and the temperatures in the grow are rising a lot, fucking summer

Looks and smells amazing. Very frosty.

❄️🍒 Dieses Mal haben wir uns einer besonders edlen Versuchung verschrieben: Chilled Cherry – einer traumhaften Kollaboration von Zamnesia x Growers Choice. Klingt wie ein Cocktail aus einer interstellaren Rooftop-Bar? Schmeckt wahrscheinlich auch so! Chilled Cherry ist wie die perfekte Sommernacht: fruchtig-süß mit einer angenehm kühlen Brise im Abgang. Optisch wirft sie sich ordentlich in Schale – dichte Blüten, eine frostige Harzschicht und Farbnuancen, bei denen sogar ein Sonnenuntergang neidisch wird. Ihr Charakter? Entspannt, kreativ, ein bisschen verträumt – genau das richtige Material für entspannte Abende, tiefgründige Gespräche oder spontane philosophische Ergüsse über den Sinn des Gießens. 🌿 Genetik & Charakter Chilled Cherry ist eine moderne Hybrid-Sorte, gezüchtet für Aroma, Optik und ausgewogene Wirkung. Sie verbindet fruchtige Dessert-Noten mit einer angenehmen körperlichen Entspannung und einem klaren, heiteren Kopf. Perfekt also für alle, die chillen wollen, ohne direkt mit der Couch zu verschmelzen. ⏳ Blühdauer & Wuchs Blütezeit: ca. 8–9 Wochen Wuchshöhe Indoor: meist mittelgroß Outdoor: mit genug Platz auch gern etwas stattlicher Ertrag: solide bis üppig – sie weiß, wie man sich in Szene setzt 🎨 Optik & Farben Hier wird nicht gekleckert, sondern gekirscht: Dichte, kompakte Buds Dunkelgrüne bis violette Farbtöne Überzogen mit einer frostigen Harzschicht, als hätte man sie einmal kurz durch den Tiefkühler geschoben 🍒 Terpenprofil & Aroma Das Terpenprofil ist ganz klar auf Genuss programmiert: Süße Kirsche Beeren & Dessert-Noten Eine frische, leicht kühle Nuance im Abgang Beim Öffnen des Glases riecht es eher nach Patisserie als nach Pflanzenzucht. 🧠 Wirkung Entspannend, aber nicht lähmend Stimmungsaufhellend Ideal für entspannte Abende, kreative Gedankenreisen oder einfach zum Loslassen Woche 1: Die Keimungwoche * Tag 0.1: Nach dem max. 10 Stündigen Einweichen in 1 % H₂O₂ wurde der Samen ins Substrat gepflanzt, [ein Easy Plug] * Tag 0.2: Die erste Geduldsphase beginnt. Wir warten darauf, dass der Samen seine Schale aufbricht. * Tag 0.4: Die ersten Anzeichen des Lebens sind sichtbar. Das Keimblattpaar bricht durch das Substrat, nachdem wir eine erste Wölbung der Substratoberfläche beobachtet hatten. Wir haben daraufhin das DLI von ca. 12 auf 16 erhöht, um dem Keimling genügend Licht zu geben.

What a beautiful strain Orange Hill Special is, nice and bushy, great internodal spacing, sturdy and healthy. Happier and happier with how this grow is going. The less beautiful parts on top are my doing, my blind as a bat FIM destroyed half the top of the plant. More patience next time... The super soil is still performing great and I´m pushing up the dimmer to get the ladies used to more light, very carefully because leaves are folding every time. Some of you might be happy to find my European recipe/shopping list for super soil. I tried to make it with widely offered products throughout Europe. Feel free to use it and elaborate on it. If one product is not available in your country, please check the brands at the bottom, which might be available in your country, and substitute. The only thing one could add to the recipe (which I did but forgot in the shopping list) is some Epsom salt. Fed them again with my permaculture tea, all seem to flourish and smells are starting to come from the plant, with that same distinct dankiness I had in earlier grows with this tea. See the germination page and other diaries for more info on my Perma tea. Now they were big enough, some might even say too big, to start the real training. I always love to give them a little bend the week before, to get used to the idea. With some sterilized bamboo sticks I pushed the plants down to expose their sexy undersides. Let them become forests of buddy bush. Thats it for this week! Thanks for following and happy growing!!

Week 3 has been a breeze. Retied the plant to spread it out alot. I am going to veg for 6-8 more weeks and transplant into a 25 gallon pot to give the roots some room for flower.

Start of week 5 day 29 12/12 All going well plants starting to produce resin Increased EC to 1.4
