Good afternoon fellow growers hope you are all well and having a great week👊🏻 Big shout to James and the team at RQS Well what a week for this lady. She is growing nice and steady. These F1 genetics really are the real deal in my opinion. Not a lot to do apart from water and try keep her happy. Will start some LST later this week. Really wanted to top and going hard but as I’m down to the one I don’t wanna risk anything going wrong. Any way until next time. Big big shout to all you lovely people for the kind words like and love shown. Really appreciate it 👊🏻🙌✌️🇬🇧

Lights are bak on tents 🏕️ bak in action so am Goni need tae hope a don’t get visit dae land lord or coppers so al need tae behave av got a big mouth n always thot send it on now a feel as if a can do without the bad vibes n jealousy that festers amongst so called pals this is ma ting now am just Goni keep smashing the grows until hopefully av got a couple a people a can show the ropes n fire a tent up or we’ve spoke bout doin a full room but need safe place no regrets no.

Hello dear ones 😌 I hope you had a few nice warm days here in Germany, the plant really enjoyed it. Since it's been warm during the day she's been getting 16/8 again and she loves it. This also enabled me to take photos that reveal their true beauty. At the beginning of the cup I really thought to myself: Oh God, how is this going to work? But at that point, I didn't even know what was still in store for me... There were many events, both positive and negative, and the plant noticed this. She had to endure a lot because of these circumstances; I couldn't give her the warmth she needed and I had to completely change her light cycle. I haven't even changed the water in the dwc since the first week of flowering because it's not financially possible at the moment. But Zamnesia seems to have done a good job with the breeding, because the genetics are strong and do not hermaphrodite despite high stress: LST Fimming light stress.The Auto Runtz smells grazy fruity and I'm just thrilled THANK YOU ZAMNESIA ❤️ I also have to commend Advanced Nutrients for the starter kit with the PH Perfect Sensi Grow and Bloom. Since I switched to economical, I'll definitely be able to complete the run.And I don't have any problems even though I don't change the water. The plant is actually my 2nd run and I have to say in the DWC game changer🙏🏻😌❤️ Let's come to Green Sensation by Plagron: Since I know a run without it, and now this one, I just ask myself:What kind of green magic juice is this?Through Green Sensation I have to say, this has become by far my thickest plant at this stage Than I ever harvested. Plagron, you have made a magic potion that enables me to produce large, thick flowers despite poor conditions. 🔥🙏🏻❤️ A big thank you goes out again to Zamnesia and Plagron for creating this great cup and giving me the opportunity to take part.I'm looking forward to the end, and I'm happy for everyone.I hope you have learned a lot so far and that, regardless of whether you win or not, you are still proud of yourselves.🙏🏻 Added some pictures On Friday, May 9th 🔥😉❄️❄️ In 2 days the next flowering week begins, and it's starting to explode 😂❤️❄️❄️

Wanted to give a shout out to everyone that helped my first growing experience. I believe I have learned so much from all 3 growing experiences especially as a first timer. Good genetics are where the REAL dank comes from. Barneys Farm did not disappoint. These buds grew so smooth I felt like a master grower. I believe this strain could get even bigger results with the right training. I will definitely grow this strain again in 3 gallon pots with lots of HST. With minor training she turned out pretty swell. The Grow: Growing this strain as I mentioned is practically a damn joke. She responded so well to growing in a solo cup(weeks1-3) that I practically gave her a few ml of water out of a dropper every other day and sometimes 3 days without water. As she grew, I gave some minor training, topped them, and tucked some leaves. I believe with the right training and an extended training regiment in the vegetation cycle for this strain, you could kill yields with this frosty/fast flowering strain. Any defencies I had were quickly cleared with cal-mag. She never actually ran into any problems besides some light burn due to the LEDs being too close in super late flowering. As she grew, her leaves looked more vibrant each day. Her buds simply swelled over time and became so frosty that I have no idea what I am in store for.... She got a good scent around week 3 in flowering and every week after that became more dank smelling each day. She smells like nuts, citrus, skunk, and lemon zest. I believe this strain is a hit when it comes to growing. Overall I'd give her a 10/10 out of any strain I've grown for now. She responds well to any training, nutes, and transplants. This is by far a strong resistant strain. She smells good, grows strongly/quickly, and hopefully the smoke is as good as she smells or eventually tastes. The phantom og is an easy growing strain as I've mentioned several times. I want to also try a better nutrient line(fox farm)for increased results. Not downing the ole OG fox but there is a new line of nutes now days. Until next go on these girls🤘🤤😎 The Dry: These buds are 1 to 2 inches thick. Nice and dense. I love the aroma of citrus and hops they give off. We are currently on day 2 of drying and I can tell yah, these buds smell NOTHING like chlorophyll. This strain is super powerful with terpenes. I believe the cure is gonna give a knock out smell, that's how strong it is. As she is drying, I am drying her at 66 degrees which is nice and cool, a small USB fan at the bottom of the tent. The fan was pointed outwards for the first 2 days. Now going to have it blowing more inwards to the wall to give a little less airflow for 1 to 2 more days the rotate back for a finish on the dry. So far the drying is turning out really pleasant and easy. Day 4 of drying and the outside of the buds are starting to crispn up. Another 2 or 3 days and she should be fully dried. We are now dried and jarred. They are crispy on the outside and the smaller stems snap. They will continue drying as we burp the first couple of days. Ended up taking the buds down at 5 days. Ended up being perfect for these dense nugs! The Cure: We are idk how many days into the cure. Probably 3 to 4. My roommate and me are taking a smoke now. She weighed at 2 oz give or take. Not the biggest outcome but total harvest between 5 plants all together that includes GD not included, 7 oz which I cant complain. Learning that bigger yields will come from better training. I did however get the sticky icky/trichome regiment down on this girl. I will post more pictures once I get to 2 weeks into the cure. I will say her buds are so good damn sticky. Excuse my language haha but let's be honest, this shit is dried and being rotated/cured and it's what I'd call the sticky shit you'd wish you'd had. 10/10 on quality bud Barney! 🤘 curing is still going well. Very sticky buds as I mentioned earlier. We are weeks or close enough to say these buds have cured up nicely. They have mainted an easy 61 to 62 rh after the first burp. I really over thought this and now its time to perfect the process! The buds turned into hard dense fluffy nugs.( no commas needed). The Smoke: When you smoke this strain, you feel an earthy taste that initially hits your throat with a hint of diesel on your tongue. Other flavors include berry and nuts which are very prominent in the smoke. The high hits you with a very dry mouth and a slight blur to your eyes. You get a sense of relaxation and happiness with short giggles every now and then. We loaded a huge kied bowl from some of the bowls ard my roommate and I were absolutely blazed. I smoked both phenos and the one phenos that frosted more than she fattened, really knocked me on my ass. 9/10 for a delicious smoke and potent high. The high is perfect for regular smokers especially when you want to change it up. The smells is also amazing in the jar with that nutty, berry, and diesel undertone. As the high hits you with all it's great effects, it hits with a moderate body buzz and strong head high. You'll notice that you cant speak full sentences all the time or you blank out and forget things. Phantom Og is a great evening smoke because once you let the high start climbing down, you start the feel the sandman on your eyes. The highs greatest focal point is the sense of focus. I AM NEO. You may not be able to dodge a bullet but you will kill some time lol. As long as you keep puffing however, you'll always be in a wonderful state of mind. 👽🤞👌 Ups and downs: The ups and down with this grow really derive from my own techniques or any issues or "ups" I had during the grow. Genetically speaking, I had two different phenos of phantom og. The 3 gal fattened much quicker and showed a significant amount of frost while the 1 gal pheno showed double the frost but not as fat of buds. I dont believe this to be a pot size difference obviously. This wasnt a problem but instead I was able to try two different phenos/potency levels based on the new amount of trichomes on the smaller gal. The strain grew extremely well even with higher heat levels and even lower humidity levels during the grow. I never noticed defencies throughout the grow besides the fast amount of water these girls can drink! Make sure you feed these girls nutes in week 3 or 4 or at LEAST start. You'll noticed rapid nitrogen defencies later in growth or any other common decency if you dont start the nute regiment early. I used lst as it shows in the diary. I didnt do much besides topping and pulling some branches but I did learn she responds well to hst. During the veg. Period, I accidentally snapped two branches off each node. Just enough to snap the skin. She recovered quickly without any help(duck tape included) and in return you could see bigger bud growth on the affected branches VS. The branches that were not affected. Phantom Og also produces moderate size buds and can create heavy yields with this training method. This was one of my only downfalls but this grow was for experience. I want to thank everyone for tuning in to my grow. The bud as I said is great for experienced smokers with thc levels of 18% to 24% and a flavor out of this world. After a full report, I will be updating this strain to 9/10. Thanks for looking 💨🤘 UPDATE* 12/9/19 MY FIRST, growing experience won 3rd place in the November 2019 Newbie of the month contest. Thanks everyone that followed and liked 🙏 2020 is going to be a beast🤘 UPDATE* Nebula of @growweedeasy has featured this diary in the 2019 Edition article on growweedeasy.com Thanks everyone for the support☺️

Smells like cheese 😂💚

Comienza la floración ya podemos ver algunos brotes

Bueno empiezo la 3 semanas día 15, con un unos LEDs rojos que me regalaron marshydro al comprar el fc800 evo , creo que se llama así 😝 es una auténtica bestia, ya no me imagino que pueden hacer los leds rojos, en teoría la luz roja aparte de hacer madurar los frutos, engordar y dar sabor, también ayuda a hacer crecer a los nuevos tallos que están más abajo y reciben menos luz, la luz roja profunda les da energía a esos brotes para que crezcan y busquen la luz blanca... Total.. quiero ver si crecen las ramas que están escondidas... También he añadido CO2 , cada segundo dos burbujas.. no quiero pasarme, porque tanto echar magnesio, me a dado un poco de exceso, lo he corregido echando más agua al depósito, y con la ayuda de CO2 hará que coman más las plantas, y corregiré antes el exceso de magnesio, en teoría jejeejje😅😅 todo en teoría

We are probably on the last 2/3 weeks. I am checking the whitewidow tricomes 2 in 2 days because i think she will be the first to harvest. The Sweet Gelato for me is a surprise and probably will be the last to harvest, she is big and getting thick with alot of snow :). The Blueberry its the smaller one but still getting thick as hell.

Flowering Week 7 Trichomes getting milky 🔍 I removed the CO2 BAG, lowered the temp. to 26° end of week 6, that's gonna protect the beautiful buds from the heat the last 2 weeks. From this week there will only be water + CalMag, next week flush with just water. Update: 2 plants was ready to harvest on day 49 🌳🌳

Just chopped these 3 girls! Drying day 5: damn I’m so amazed of the thricome production on this one! Looking like sparkling diamonds covering the buds! Tastes good, earthy/woody flavor, will need to dry some more and cure then it will be a 10/10 smoke!! Day 8 drying: okay 2 of 3 plants are finished small bud sickest buds I ever seen and smells amazing

Let’s go Day 85 from seed !! This has been another great week ,ladies are coming close to the finish line an looking so beautiful!! This week we will continue flushing on these 3 ladies an jump em into there 48 hrs of darkness on Friday or Saturday will see ! Let’s have another great week ,, peace love an positive vibes to all y’all Keep them eyes peeled for next weeks update !! Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

I Messed Up A DAY Here. So one of the days is dated wrong. I tried to correct it the best that I could. 7/24 I decided to label this week as flower. It's more like preflower though. GMOs are stretching like crazy. Due to the rain we weren't supposed to get some of my plants are a little over watered. That's why I love the fabric pots. With the winds we get the bags dry out fast. The GMO's would've needed water anyway if we didn't get this storm. Event Horizon seems to be the furthest in flower amd the most over watered. WE'LL get a LITTLE more rain today and tomorrow but then hopfully my bags will dry out. They are heavy as hell right now. Had we not got rain for what seems like forever. Several plants would've needed to be watered if we didn't get this rain. Still the plants are currently overwatered. All the pics and video so far are from this morning after the horrible pounding rain of yesterday. Like I said before, I need to; defoliate for better air flow, add secondary supports or a vertical trellis, considering using a preventative pest application (e.g. BT), LST and spread branches apart and start using nutes. 7/25 Wasn't supposed to rain today. Like .001. It poured this morning and is still raining VERY LIGHTLY at 2:30. We got an inch yesterday. The total for these 3 days was suppised to be under half an inch. Anyway I went over around two and everything looks great! Things are clearly overwatered and heavy but the plants look happy! Most have their leaves out and everything! I love growing in bags because they dry out so quickly! I don't mind watering more. I defoliated one event horizon and the few yellow leaves I coukd see on other plants after shaking them off. The seedling in the 50 is far behind the others in flower and just showed its sex. I'm fairly certain that one is red runtz. Whatever it is is going to flower much later than the rest. It's going to be good if I have couple early finishers. I did a video but I'll have to upload tomorrow. I have a lot of work to do And not just in the garden so I'm hoping I can balance things out and get this stuff done. Caught three TINY inch worms. I'm wondering if me manually hunting has cut the adult population down and I'm just getting fresh born ones? If that's the case I wouldn't need to spray. 7/26 Plants looked pretty great today. I think me manually removing pillars has made a big difference. It's windy out too so it won't take long for those bags to dry out. Which is good because what wad supposed to be a half inch of rain turned into 3 straight days of rain. I'll be back over to work on the garden today and I'll update then. 7/27 Plants are looking pretty good. Good weather ahead and the bags are starting to lose weight. Found a pillar wrapped in a dead interior leaf all wrapped up. Found a couple more early this morning amd killed them. I did some slight leafing on some plants. I don't like doing that outdoors but since these are monster cropped they have far to many leaves. Airflow is improved. I'm not seeing any nutrient deficiencies yet. Plants are a vibrant healthy dark green. Soon I'll add a base nute like big bloom or ancient amber (I think that's the one, it's applicable to big bloom). I cam see some plants trying to start flowering and I've got one (in the 50) that has just shown sex. Hopfully this will give me some time between harvests. I'll update as I go along. DAD CALLED IN THE AFTERNOON AND SAID HE THOUGHT A PLANT MIGHT BE STARTING TO DROOP. IT WAS MY GMO CANARY THAT GETS HIT ON ALMOST THREE FULL SIDES BY WIND (ONLY ONE PLANT). I CHECKED THE WEIGHT AND IT WAS LIGHT. IT WAS DROOPING TOO. I WATERED THAT ONE PLANT WITH A GALLON AND WATCHED IT PERK BACK UP. I CHECKED THE WEIGHT ON THE OTHER PLANTS AND LIKE I THOUGHT THEY WERE STILL HEAVY. I PUT MY FINGER IN THE SOIL AND IT CAME AWWY COVERED IN DIRT. MY SEEDLING IN THE 10 WAS KINDA LIGHT SO I GAVE THAT HALF A GALLON. I USED THE OTHER HALF AS "A CUP OF KINDNESS" ON THE PLANTS THAT SEEMED LIGHTEST TO CARRY THEM OVER. I PROBABLY SHOULDVE WAITED BUT I DOUBT IT MATTERS. ILL CHECK IN THE MORNING. I ASSUME ILL HAVE TO WATER THEN OR AT NIGHT. ILL GO BY THE WEIGHT. THE CANARY WILL NEED TO BE ON A SEPERATE SCHEDULE. THATS FOR SURE. Went back over at 6:30 and plants looked better than they have in a long time bags still have some weight. With the sunny weather we are going to have these plants will keep exploding in growth. Found one pillar but I wasn't there long. Seriously considering a spray of BT in the near future. EDIT: UNFORTUNATELY MY SPIDEY SENSE STARTING TINGLING AROUND NOON. MY ANXIETY WONT LET ME IGNORE IT (IM NOW EMBRACING IT) AND I HAD TO CUT OFF A CONVERSATION WITH MY WIFE TO GO TO THE GARDEN. I IMMEDIATELY SAW THAT ONE OF MY GMOS WAS STARTING TO DROOP. NOT LIKE BEFORE BUT IF I HAD BRUSHED IT OFF AND LEFT IT FOR FOUR MORE HOURS IN THE 90° SUN IT WOULD'VE BEEN. I GAVE THE GMO'S (BESIDES THE ONE I GOT YESTERDAY EACH A GALLON. I DIDNT WANT TO WATER DURING THE DAY BUT THIS WAS MY BEST OPTION. I GAVE THE TOASTED TOFFY A GALLON AND THE 2 EVENT HORIZONS EACH GOT HALF A GALLON, AS WELL AS THE SHERB PIE WHICH GOT HALF A GALLON. I DECIDED TO DO THIS BECAUSE SOME PLANTS USE MORE WATER THAN OTHERS. BEFORE ACTUALLY GOING OVER I CONSULTED MY PREVIOS DIARIES. I HAD THIS SANE PROBLEM LAST YEAR ON THE SAME WEEK OF THE MONTH! THATS WHAT MADE ME TRUST MY INTUITION FULLY. I LEARNED FROM THE MISTAKE OF LAST YEAR. THINGS ARE GOING GOOD. IM STARTING NUTES SOON AND I NEED TO SPEAY FOR BT BUT DONT KNOW IF IT WILL BE TONIGHT. 7/29 Apparently my intuition worked out well. Plants looked great this morning. I may feed today. I defoliated a bit and watered the 10g with a half gallon and gave another half gallon to the gmo on the end that dries out fastest and that I didn't water yesterday. I think I've got the watering down. Now I need to start nutes and spray bt. Need to wait for the rain first though. Suppised to get minor showers the next couple days. I'm gonna try to get the trellis up too. WENT BACK A LITTPE AFTER FOUR. HUMiDITY WAS 100% AND IT WAS RAINING VERY LIGHTLY. I MEAN AS LITTLE AS IT CAN POSSIBLY RAIN. ALMOST LIKE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WITH THOSE MISTING FANS IF YOU STAND BACK A WAYS. I DIDN'T WATER. PLANTS WERE LOOKING GREAT! I DID SOME DEFOLIATION AND CAN TELL I NEED TO START NUTES. I CAN SEE SOME SLIGHT DEFICIENCIES IN BIG OLDER LEAVES. SOME SMALL INTERIOR LEAVES YELLOWED. NOT MANY. GRANTED THEY ARE STARTING TO FLOWER. I'LL PLAN ON FEEDING TOMORROW. THE NEXT FEW DAYS IS SUPPISED TO BE SHOWERS. I DOUBT IT WILL GIVE MY BIG GIRLS ALL THEY NEED BUT IT WILL BE A GOOD START. I DID A VIDEO BUT ITS RATHER LONG SO I CANT UPLOAD IT HERE. ITS COOL WATCHING HOW DIFFERENT THE DIFFERENT STRAINS GROW. STILL HAVE A BUNCH OF SHIT TO DO. IT WILL GET DONE THIS WEEK. 7/30 I held off watering today due to a supposed storm and rain we were supposed to be getting. I had early doctors appointments. I got back around 11 and the bags seemed light. After consulting last years diary I saw that I am underwatering. The root system weighs a lot! We haven't got the hundredths of an inch of rain but we got some sun. It's over cast now. I was there working for a few hours. I watered most a gallon. All the gmo's got a gallon. I gave the two event horizons about two thirds a gallon. About the same with the toasted toffy and the sherb pie. About 3/4 of a gallon as they seemed to have a little weight left. Looking at last years diary there were plants I was giving two gallons at a time in a 20 gal bag so I've been u Der watering a bit. I've caught it now and adjusted. I'm not losing leaves at the pace I have in the past. Even though some are in flower. I think I'm getting better. I fed for the first time today. Each plant got 1.75 pints. Except the 10gallon which got half the powerade bottle and the 5gal which got a qtr. By the time I left the plants were standing up nice and tall and looking amazing. Now I just need to apply bt and secondary supports. 7/31 Another eight day week. I'll have to do six days next week. Everything looked amazing this morning. I'm seeing less pest damage. Watering and feeding was the right move. Now I just have a little rearranging to do, add supports and spray if I decide to.

May 10, 2024 A new week and more flushing. Both ladies look really good. Tropicana C is way too heavy for her branches. It's good and bad. It's bad because they are flopping all over. And it shows how weak these tops are. It had to be my nutrient regimen. It's good because it shows the buds are dense and heavy. Tropicana Cookies has significantly stronger branches and can hold a lot of weight for the size of the buds. I could just be a tight fit with all the buds up and down each top. Who knows. They are starting to lean a little bit, but not too bad. Her buds are almost all purple top to bottom and the leaves are getting lighter and lighter throughout the plant. She's covered in trichomes. From what I can see, there's not nearly enough amber trichomes on the buds. Very soon though. I reactivated her wick system today. Her container was about half the weight as it was yesterday. Maybe now that it's not saturated anymore, the wick system will provide what it needs. We shall see later today I think. The lighting for some of this week will stay the same. I'm just waiting for the other 2 plants in the tent to start their flush. Then I'll drop the power down some. Most likely to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. We shall see. I'm also curious if it will actually do anything. They are autoflowers and light doesn't really mean much. Just as long as it's on and the right DLI, it should be fine, right? Anyway, I'll drop it when the flush starts anyway. I want to see what happens. The environment is looking a little better. The humidity is lower at 54%, but still way too high. At least it's below 60% finally. But 54% isn't much better. The temperature is pretty good at 76° during the day and 67° at night. I still can't get it down to 66° at night, so 67° will have to suffice. However, there is about a 10° difference between lights out and lights on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 54.2% VPD: 1.29 kPa May 11, 2024 Watering day! Last watering of the grow. I'll let them dry out from now on. It should be like 4 days before they are dried out. Tropicana Cookies looks so close to being done. Her fade is spreading and I'm guessing another 3 days? Maybe less. There is so much more purple now. Ite absolutely beautiful. She definitely will need a trichome check daily. Tropicana C has started showing purple finally. I'd give her another 5 days, maybe a week. I honestly cannot tell. I'll check trichomes tomorrow and every day afterward. Her buds are definitely getting heavier and some even look fatter. She's definitely not quite ready, but super close. The light power will be dropped in a couple days down to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. Not much else for that. The environment is still kind of a mess. The temp is fine at 75°, but the humidity is still high at 55%. I even got the temp down to 66°. So that's good. I'd like to keep it there for the rest of the grow. I'll also try to drop the temp during the day to help bring out more color. It will also help with keeping the temp low during the drying period. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.0° RH: 53.6% VPD: 1.27 kPa Update: I ended up checking the trichomes anyway, and i think I know when they will be done. Just an estimate, but I think a good one. Anyway, Tropicana Cookies should be done in about 3 days while Tropicana C should take about 5 days. I may wait and harvest both at the same time. Or in between and harvest them in 4 days. Tropicana Cookies just needs more amber trichomes. They are almost all cloudy. Very few clear, but only about 5% amber. Tropicana C on the other hand, has a bit too many clear trichomes and no where near enough amber. 5 days should do it. 4 might be a little early, but that might be the only option. We shall see in 4 days. May 12, 2024 Not much going on today. Tropicana Cookies had a soaked bottom again, so I removed 1 of the wicks. So there should be about half the water going in now. She's definitely not thirsty. So very close. Anyway, she is fading quite nicely and I think she will have a whole bunch of beautiful colors. Lots of purple and some nicely fading fan leaves. Light greens, yellows a tiny bit of red. But not there yet. Tropicana C did not have a soaked bottom today. She never does. It just tells me she is still thirsty. Which also tells me she still has some time left. Maybe 4 to 5 days, but I may harvest her in 3 to 4 days. It all depends on how she looks. I got some trichome pics today. Just one for each plant, but they were the best I could get so there you have it. Anyway, Tropicana Cookies looks very close. More amber trichomes, more cloudy and much less clear. Tropicana C still has a bit too many clear, but definitely has more cloudy. Not too many amber, but more than yesterday. I still plan to drop the DLI down to 36 mol/m²/d in a day or two. It won't really matter, but it's still important to note. It's for the other plants in the tent. The environment is a lost cause. I can still control the temp, but the humidity is still at 57%. I have the temp at 77°, but I think I'm going to drop it down to 74°. I don't think the humidity will go up with the temp change. And if it does, back up to 77°. I'll probably get the 74° mark, so all good. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 55.6% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 13, 2024 Not much going on today. I checked trichomes and I think I'm going to harvest when Tropicana C is done. She should be done in a couple of days. Maybe 3 to 4? Maybe less? I'm supposed to be harvesting tomorrow, but I'm not sure I will. I'll check the trichomes again tomorrow, but both are there. Just a little bit more. Not too much longer though. I have 4 more plants ready to come in like ASAP. Anyway, the trichomes on Tropicana C are mostly cloudy now, with a few clear and more amber. Maybe 8% to 10%. Just a bit more. Tropicana Cookies is a bit further with next to no clear trichomes and the same amber as her sister. Roughly 8% to 10%. She will definitely be done either tomorrow or the next day. So I think it makes more sense to focus mostly on Tropicana C for harvest time. I really don't want to harvest an indica too early. Not to mention, the purple is coming through really quickly for Tropicana C. Tropicana Cookies has almost all purple buds. The very bottom of the plant still has mostly green with purple coming through just a bit. It's more like pink than purple. But the majority of the bud is green. These are the underdeveloped buds. Not even worth of popcorn I think. That stuff will become concentrate. The light intensity will be dropped tonight down to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. Kind of pointless for the last couple days, but it needs to be done. The environment is driving me crazy. I can keep the temp at 74°, but then the humidity goes up to 58%. Much too high. Even opening the tent door only drops the humidity down to 52%. I'm going to need to drop the humidity in my room down to 35% somehow and maybe I'll get below 50%. This is ridiculous. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa Update: I ordered a new dehumidifier for grow tents today. It should be here tomorrow. I'm guessing a lot of my problem with the humidity is my current dehumidifier. It barely pushes air. Cheap and well used. The new one is from Vivosun. A much more reputable company. May 14, 2024 Trichome day! Took a couple videos. The videos are kind of crappy. I hurt my back so I'm shaky. I removed the wick system completely from both plants. Tropicana Cookies was yet again soaked. Not as bad with just the one wick, but still soaked. Anyway, I pulled the wicks and emptied the reservoirs. Maybe that will help with the humidity. They should both be dried out in a few days. Just in time for harvest. Tropicana Cookies looks wonderful! Her buds are nearly black, with nearly black leaves. It's the darkest strain I've ever grown. Insane. She still has a day or 2 left to go. There's trichomes, but not enough. Hopefully 2 days will do it. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, a little bit of clear and not enough amber. Tropicana C is right behind her sister plant in the dark purple color. Her flowers and sugar leaves are getting super dark. Fan leaves are lights ing up, but not fading. I have a feeling she is going to need longer than I have been estimating. I also have a major issue with the side branches all around the plant. They are just laying down. Buds completely facing down. The branches are also super weak. I don't understand what happened. Back to trichomes. There's like 20% clear still and nowhere near enough amber. The lower light intensity doesn't seem to being doing anything, but I'm sure it's preserving the trichomes. Maybe even helping along the plants to finish up. The environment is still a nightmare. The temp is still fine, but the humidity is stuck at 60% again. The humidity in my room is higher than outside. I have the door open to help drop it, but it's not helping with the tent humidity. I have no idea how environmental science works. Lol. I wonder if I defoliate both plants a couple days early, what will happen. Wouldn't it put all of its energy into the buds and increase trichome production, like a last push? I'll research this and decided what to do by tonight. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 59.2% VPD: 1.15 kPa May 15, 2024 Nothing going on today. Both ladies are about halfway there before completely drying out. I'd say another 2 days. I was going to harvest tomorrow, but I checked the trichomes and they still aren't there yet. Plus, I think the other 4 waiting to get in the tent still have time to veg before they overwhelm their containers. One of them is very close, but I don't think she will be a problem in the next 2 days. Plus I can always train her down. Tropicana Cookies is starting to lean more. Her branches aren't quite falling over, but they are definitely getting weighed down. She seems to have basically stopped fading. Still a lot of green leaves, but each top is essentially all dark purple. So this may be it for fading. Now I can only wait for her to ripen up. Hopefully 2 more days. I really can't push it that much further. Tropicana C is still behind her sister by a bit. Not much, but enough for me to be concerned about harvesting them together in 2 days. I guess I'll see how the 4 other plants are doing in 2 days. Maybe I'll wait 3. Who knows at this point. It's been 7 weeks, so it should be any day. I think the light intensity is making the smell stronger. Less intense light is keeping the trichomes nice and plump and filling with cannabinoids. So maybe it was a great idea to drop he intensity. The environment is still kicking my ass. I can't get the humidity to drop below 60% and now I don't have much control over the temp It's stuck at 73°. Not bad for this stage, but it's killing the VPD. It needs to be at like 1.5 kPa, but it's at 1.00 kPa. Super bad. No good. The night temp is still too high. The average last night was 69.1°. Much too warm for night temps. Maybe that's what is taking Tropicana C to turn purple. She's getting there definitely and should be the same color as her sister. They are the same phenotype after all. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 63.0% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 16, 2024 The final day of the week and I think I need to harvest these 2 tomorrow. The 4 Sour Diesels I have in my 2x2 tent are starting to get bigger and will need more space very soon. Not to mention, they are in my 2x2 tent I use for drying. Tropicana Cookies is basically done. I didn't check her trichomes today, but all the buds top to bottom are purple. Lighter purple in the lowers, but those are popcorn and larf, so I'm not so worried. She also seems to have stopped fading. She's nearly dried out now. Probably tomorrow right when I need to harvest. Tropicana C on the other hand has her trichomes looked at today. Made a video and took a pic from it. Anyway, the trichomes are much more cloudy now and maybe 7% amber. She should go a few more days, but I still have the dilemma of the other plants. I guess it all depends on how they look tomorrow I guess. She hasn't started fading yet, but more purple is showing up everyday. That's another reason I think she could go a few more days. She still hasn't even begun to fade. She's about half dry, but if I have to, I'll add a half gallon of plain water tomorrow to see if she fades at all. I may have to harvest Tropicana Cookies tomorrow and then Tropicana C a few days later. I should be able to fit 4 more 3 gallon containers in the 3x3 with just the one plant gone. It'll be tight and I'll need to Tetris the shit out of it, but I think I can manage. One thing I haven't thought about until now is drying itself. If I have to harvest separately, the 2 to 3 day difference will mess up the dry for the first one harvested. I think? Maybe not. I have a plan. Instead of hanging them next to each other, I'm going to hang them on top of each other. So the first will be Tropicana Cookies on top and later in Tropicana C on the bottom. Theoretically, with this setup, I could control the humidity a bit better. When Tropicana Cookies is nearly done and needs the extra humidity for that even dry, Tropicana C will have brought it back in and I should be able to hold it around 60% for the rest of the drying time for both plants. Lighting doesn't matter anymore. It's served it's purpose and I could technically take one out now for a 2 day dark period before harvest. But if anything, I'll wait for tomorrow. I honestly didn't think about the dark period until now. Haha. Whoops. That may just solve problem entirely. I don't have to wait for harvest time. My other plants won't get too big and I can put them in the 3x3 more comfortably. I can also harvest both plants at the same time. Or, if I have room, I can place Tropicana C in the dry tent on the bottom while Tropicana Cookies gets hung up. I don't think there's enough space though. Anyway, I think the best course of action is to put Tropicana Cookies in the dry tent for a 2 day dark period and harvest both when Tropicana C is ready. Then I can see if there's a difference between lights all the way to harvest or dark for 2 days. Fun! The environment is the bane of my existence. The new dehumidifier is definitely stronger than the old one and more compact. I even left the old one in there as well. Both running at the same time can only drop the humidity to a solid 60%, but my room is 63% and I can't do anything about it. I also have the tent completely sealed off. I think it's helping to keep the humidity from climbing to 65% or 70%. I have the temp up a bit to 76° and 77°. Just to help a smidge with the DLI. The only thing I have an advantage with is my ari flow and spread canopy. There's 2 fans blowing around air and the exhaust. It should help prevent mold or bud rot, but with such high humidity for days, I can only imagine something bad is happening. Maybe not bud rot or mold, but the chemical composition of the buds? I dunno. I haven't learned that much. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.8° RH: 62.8% VPD: 1.07 kPa

Starting to ripen a lot this week and put on more size on the buds, she is getting near the end very happy with how she is going, swapped my light schedule back to 20/4 for last few weeks, Started giving her some PK also.

Tag 22: Beide Pflanzen sind schon in die Blüte gegangen. Tag 23: Zeit zum umtopfen! Von 3L auf 6L und 9L Topfgröße. Eigentlich wird ja von umtopfen von Automatics abgeraten. Aber ich habe bei meiner letzten Automatic damit erstaunlich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Das wollte ich nun nochmal testen mit anderen Sorten. Tag 25: getoppt bei 4 und 5 Nodien. Tag 27: Ich biege die Zweige täglich runter.

This was my first ever grow and I am extremely proud of it. The nugs are dense and smell fantastic. The phenotypes on each of my plants were very unique, and each has its own smell. This did make it a little harder to care for the plants, but it ended up working out fine. I opted for a dry trim and did a tight manicure on the nugs. I plan on turning the trim into cannabutter using a sous vide machine.
