I really enjoyed growing this plant. It had a hard start due to my errors and poor environmental conditions, but it bounced back quite good and finished with a very good yield! It reached number 2 in all my harvests, loosing to Moby Dick. However, I'm pretty sure that his SSH is reaching at least 21%, while Moby Dick was on the ballpark of 16%. The buds look much more crystalized as well. It's my favorite sativa so far, and I'm gonna to grow it again pretty soon! I'll be back with more comments after 1 month of curing and smoking

Starting week 7 of flower! This might be her last week! She is swelling up some and really packing on the trichomes. Her aroma grows more and more pungent with that deep chem and diesel smell. There are also some amazing fruity notes in the background like sweet berries. More updates soon!

Week 8: Day 50-53: Things are looking ok here, could be better. Still assuming my soil is too acidic certain nutrients to lock out. I now believe what I thought was a calmg deficiency on 4AM#1 was actually a phosphorous lockout in combination with the aforementioned calmg. Day 50 I watered with PH 6.5 and got runoff around 5.5 PH. 4AM#3 was visibly worse off, and no real improvements to the other 2 either(both had signs of calmg deficiency in combination with various other small deficiencies it seemed like). Day 54-56: Seeing no real improvements in any of the 3 plants I decided I would flush them on with 6.5 PH'd water only with regulator until runoff read atleast 6PH. After about 4-5L the runoff was 6+PH, seemed to me like there was a slight build up in the bottom so the first 3L cleared that up quite nicely(runoff was around 5.7). I then fed them 2-2.5L feeding of calmg and regulator with some Biocanna Boost PD'd to 6.5 immediately after flushing. Runoff was pretty much 6.3-6.5 on all plants at this point. I think I am happy with the results of the small flush, this IS my first time indoors(last summer first time was outdoor and I never really dealt with deficiences), so not sure if what I did was correct, I just went with my gut feeling here. Anyway on day 56 now and they haven't gotten any worse, and the leaves feel healthier to the touch. Also seem to be liking the addition of the 150W COB, also decided to lower the lights and see if they could take it(they could). End of Week 8: I don't think I will get more much bulk on 4AM#1 but daaamn is she frosty as hell. 4AM#2 on the other hand is bulking up real nice, those are going to be some fat buds! And 4AM#3 seems to be a slower finishing pheno and seems like she will bulk up loads more, going to be a beast I reckon if the deficiencies didn't stunt her from the last 2 weeks(leaves felt dry and showed yellowing and spots, but are doing better and feel better after the flush).

The ladies are still doing great and stacking very nicely! The trichomes on both pheno’s are insane, super dense buds too. The leaves do look very very dark green with slight tip burns, so I dosed down the nutrients slightly from 1100+ to 950 ppm. The grow light makes the leaves look more light green than they actually are (check the night shots). Both plant smell super super sweet, not really blueberry (yet) though.

March 25, 2023 at 1:48 PM -Ever since I started watering them with lower pH water, 6.0 to 6.3, the 2 BOH’s really started to takeoff. I might do some slight defoliation on all the plants. I’ll takeoff their lower nodes to make it easier to bend them from the main stock. The strawberry crinkle has very close internodes and is really bushy with large and thick fingers. It’s too short to try and bend over so I might have to do more of the defoliation job in order for the lower nodes to get more light. March 28, 2023 at 5:24 PM - March 29, 2023 at 2:01 PM -I’ve bent over several stems this week. I have only had one small accident with the strawberry crinkle. The top was snapped off somehow but I don’t remember it happening, but it seems to be taking it well. I watered them the day before with some tea with ph at 6.3. so far I could bend over things every day. They are starting to cover the entire pot. - Today’s the last day of week three.

Today I top dressed everyone with a full strength feed of nature’s pride bloom, compost, added bacteria, kelzyme calcium and a handful of promix. This will be the last feeding for both the blackberry breaths. It looks like everyone else is going to go 9-10 weeks so they will get 1 more feeding. Either way I’m going to harvest everything at once so the bbb’s are going to get extra ripe. The frost on the one pheno is insane. Smells are amazing so far too. Will report smell after drying. I just grabbed a full organic nutrient line for use in my next run. I got more of the nature’s pride veg and bloom dry amendments, boogie brew tea, kelzyme xx calcium, EM1 microbes and method 1pps spray. I will also be using Alaska fish emulsion (5-1-1) worm castings, WOW mycorrhizae and a pre inoculated 50/50 coco promix blend. Seeds came in!!! They hooked it up fat too. I got the 12 dolato seeds I ordered plus Slurricane F1 x6 and puro loco x6. The puro locos are going to be used for outdoor and I might do a little pheno hunt of the slurricane this year. The F1 is supposed to be better or more likely to show genes from both parents. Can’t wait! So today I forgot to water and it really looks like it shocked them... they all drooped like crazy and yellowed out more. I got them all watered and raised the light to ease some of the stress. Worst time possible to forget a watering!!! Won’t let it happen again. I was reading that PPFD levels over 1000 require added co2 and my light is well above 1000 at 8”. That could also be another reason my plants yellowed out so quickly. Next round I’m going to up the nutes and get one of those bottles of co2 and see if they make a difference. I would have to keep my filter on a timer so it wouldn’t deplete so fast. Or just use it for the parts of my grow that doesn’t need a filter. I didn’t even need the filter until week 3-4 of flower. I cleaned the sock on my carbon filter and now it’s just sucking the life out of my tent. The humidity went from being too high to being too low. Going to lower the speed until the humidity is proper. This tent isn’t that old and that filter sock was disgusting. Going to try stablizing my RO water with a bit of snow in the winter and rain in the summer

O legato una pianta per far crescere i rami laterali su un'altra o voluto tagliare le foglie che non permettevano di prendere luce a rami laterali e foglie più piccole da sviluppare le altre sono un po' più indietro perché erano piante che avevo messo fuori ,ma per il clima nn favorevole ho dovuto portarle in tenda.

My new babies from Divine Seeds have arrived. 🙏😇 I gave them a cozy new home. Looking forward to seeing their little heads poke out. 😊 Boobies for scale. 😋 Origin:Afghanistan / Colombia / Canada Type:Indica/ Sativa/ Ruderalis Flowering:60-63 days THC:25% Harvest:800-1000 g/m2 Height:130-165 cm Black Opium Day-Neutral is, generally speaking, a violet version of Opium. Its beauteous coloring comes from crossing Opium with a rare population of Colombian Sativa, both purple-colored and rich in THC. After numerous selection cycles, the result was stabilized to be now presented as Black Opium Auto-Feminized – a tremendously potent Indica with shocking resin production rate and delicious berry aroma. At present, this strain belongs to top most exotic Indica varieties in the world! A perfect choice for professional growers, while beginners can recklessly enjoy handling these non-demanding vivid plants. Just as its older brother strain, Black Opium fits well for indoor growing as well as outdoor plantations, it has also shown amazingly rich productivity in green houses. With massive resin production and, consequently, aggressive stench, Black Opium marijuana can ward off most insect plants. Appropriate training methods are restricted to non-stress techniques such as LST or ScroG, which allow to multiply your yield almost by 1.5x sometimes. Dense colas, colorful and glistening with crystals are a rich source of extra-potent hasheesh with glamorous berry-like flavor. Those seeking for extra-potent cannabis should definitely give Auto Black Opium a try! Traditionally such mighty Indica is regarded for solo-use, noticeably restricting users in communication and motion when taken in average portions. The impact of Black Opium smoke creates an immobilizing stone effect for 3 hours, often accompanied with psychological revelations, insight thinking and daydreaming with the feeling of quiet bliss in the background. A highly efficient painkiller and anti-spasmatic agent, eliminates nausea or stress, stimulates appetite and helps forget any trouble. More appropriate for night use.

I keep bending this lady quite a lot. She is growing super vigorous on a diet Front Row Ag. She starting to smell like a basket of super ripe mandarin. Stunk dunk big. She staking super nice. Super close internode. I defoliated her quite a lot too. Hopefully no many small buds. Still a great yeald is promising from the look.

Overall, we are very pleased with the end result of this grow! For the harvesting process itself - once the trichomes on the buds were milky white (see zoomed in photo above), we cut down the branches and hung to dry in the tent. The light was on in the photo to display the hanging to dry method, but the lights were turned off for the duration of the drying process. On the first day the buds were hanging, all large fan leaves were trimmed. Over the course of the next week, day by day, more leaves were trimmed. After 8/9 days of drying, the buds were ready to move into the curing stage (the test for this: the skinny branches would snap when bent, and the thicker branches were near snapping when bent). On day 9, buds were cut from the branches, trimming off the final accessible leaves, without damaging the trichomes, and placed in glass jars with dehumidifier pouches to begin the curing process. For the first 7 days, the jars were opened (burped) for 10 minutes twice daily. After the first week, burping was reduced to once a day and then every few days. Strain first tested after 10 days of curing, but cured for a total of 4 for optimal results. Citrusy flavor, excellent sativa for mellow productivity and a mood boost. Now that I have my first grow under my belt, it's time to move onto the next!

So gonna stick with 1ml/l for the rest of the grow now, i think the problems were just too much in the soil and since lowering nutes the problems are slowing down. Another week or two for the Zkittlez, seeing amber on the sugar leaves but not quite on the buds yet although it is mostly cloudy. Lemon AK is behing as it was germed later but still looks to be forming some nice buds and now has a fantastic smell of its own. Looking forward to these so much cant wait!!!!
