@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary.

We continue our way to the finish line. There are two weeks left. The smell is bitterness, hashish, a little sweetness and (if you touch the trichomes) - a clear smell of wood. Everything is as according to the passport of the strain.👍 I examined the trichomes-given the number of amber trichomes on the tops, the evening potential of the Rock Machine should be fully revealed by the time of harvest 🤙

Der Herbst ist da und es geht auf den Endspurt zu. Der Duft der Terpene ist überwältigend, wir können es kaum erwarten diese Ladys zu verköstigen. Die beiden FrostBanger sind nach wie vor am weitesten von allen, dicht gefolgt von der Forbidden Runtz. Autumn is here and we're entering the final stretch. The aroma of the terpenes is overwhelming; we can hardly wait to taste these ladies. The two FrostBanger are still furthest along, closely followed by the Forbidden Runtz.

Buds have Been fattening up and making shape with the pistols sill stretching with slight change in colour for some of the pistols and are able to see the trichomes start to spread out and starting to get more frosty and the side branches are stretching out and stem thickness is also coming along nice nugs are quite sticky and the terpy smell has become more noticeable and I’m doing some light trimmi

Day 73 She looks a little under fed. Definitely way behind the others. Lovely citus smell coming from her though and very sticky. Doesn't help I've now run out of Bloom aswell as big fruits so going to have to have a think on what to do. Thinking of using dry amendments to finish it off as its Organic and I have a load. Peace 💚🌱

Dear Francos' Lemon Cheese, as usual it was difficult to let you go, every time I touched you when you were in the grow you made me crazy just thinking about tasting you. But in fact I have to taste you and almost a we have to proceed with the harvest. Stunning plant has swollen quickly and matured in just under 8 weeks declared, it releases a truly spectacular Greek handmaid's pussy scent of Zeus. We know it doesn't have the highest THC and we can't wait to try it in action in the morning when we work in our creative works it must be fantastic. The amount of resin is moving I was about to call friends to take my fingers off. I seem to see Franco behind the counter of the main coffee house in Greenhouse in Amsterdam, who immediately realizes my nationality, smiles at me and responds in kind, telling me choose this <3 Franco Loja Rest in Peace <3 p.s.

Hi all! Autoflowering experiment continues! 1 more topping was made and now we have 8 branches on each plant. in total, there are already 16 branches! and in principle I can leave her alone. and give her a lot of fame and masses for flowering .. I hope she will see this stress ..

Took as much of the lower growth of the two plants that I can reach. I think I did a pretty good job for my first time. Cant wait to see how she focuses the energy on the canopy. The canopy itself is within 3-4 inches of each top with each getting a lot of light. I think the last of the pre flower stretch is over but if it isnt im still good with the second scrog. Pulled the two humidifiers and added a small humidifier as well as a 350 sq ft DeHum. Hoping to really keep the humidity low for her to get really frosty. Thanks for checking out the grow! Any comments, or advice is always welcome! 😁

Phew!!! Not going to lie I’m really glad the week is over. After chopping on Friday, the wet trim race was on. My girlfriend and I were stuck inside until 4am Monday morning getting Blueberry OG trimmed! Sooo grateful for her help though. It was long, but well worth it. Set up an AC Infinity 2x2 with a drying net and my AC unit kept the room at about 17c for most of the time. Friday (yesterday), after a week in the net, the smaller buds were feeling a little crispy so I knew it was time and after checking the other buds and doing some other finishing touches I threw them into some grove bags to cure. Now I can finally relax ☺️ Have a great day everyone! You mean so much to me, it’s great to have a community on here. Although I’m terrible at posting about my issues or openly asking questions, I’m glad I know where to come to when I need some inspiration. Thanks so much! Another harvest, I’m infinitely proud :)

Recovering week of 3 plants after nutrient deficiencies. Self note: don’t play around with new brand of nutrients. Switching biobizz calmag (basically water) to camgboost from aptus. Foliar feed camagboost 5ml/lt ph 5.8 to recover from calcium and magnesium deficiency which created other problems, specially plant #4. Changing to an organo-mineral grow with aptus. Will use just base nutrients from bio bizz (giving away calmag from bio bizz to a friend 😃) and booster exclusively from aptus. Planning to switch to flower as soon I see full recovery; probably end of the week or beginning of next week. Auto pot system has been turn on after 20 days of potting.

Day 57 - Starting week 9 and although she got 2 gallons of water yesterday, she’ll be ready for more tomorrow, she’s drinking like a fish right now. Other that that, I did a light defoliation today and will give her a day or two then do a little more. I wanna get some of these giant fan leaves off and out of the way. Day 58 - Gave the girl 2 gallons of water and nutes today. She’s going through two gallons every 48 hours now, really drinking a ton. Other than that, just retucked the leaves and letting her be. Day 59 - She’s stretching like crazy, almost 2 inches the last 24 hours. She’s gonna be a big girl for sure. Just got some updated pics today and tucked the leaves again. Day 60 - Had to give the girl 2 gallons of water and nutes today but was just about out of my usual Advanced Nutrients so had to swap to what I had, Technaora Kit so we’ll see how she does with it. I’ve heard good things so I’m sure she’ll be fine. She’s getting big and starting to get cramped in the tent but not much I can do right now, just trying to get her to grow UP instead of out. Day 62 - This girl just isn’t stopping, she’s huge and only getting bigger each day. She’s just about ready for water so she’ll get two gallons of plain pH’d water tomorrow. Just did a little leaf tucking with her and fit her back into the tent. Day 63 - Ending week 9 today with 2 gallons of plain pH’d water. She’s starting to really develop buds and she’s smelling very sweet. Other than that, just got some updated pictures and tucked the leaves.

D21 - Start of week three of veg for the second girl, while it is only the start of week two for the first girl as I had to replant her. I will probably do the first topping on the second girl this week but I'll see in a few days where she's at. I gave both girls around one liter of water @ pH 5.9. A bit on the low side as I used too much pH down but it'll be fine for one watering. D24 - Yesterday I switched my light from the seedlings program to the veg program, and I'm now reading around 500-600 PPFD across the canopy. On the high end for sure, so let's see how the girls handle it. However, the daytime temp in the tent jumped up to around 30 degrees C after I switched the lights. #tinytentproblems I also added some support to #1 as she has a relatively thin stem but large leaves, so the oscillating fan keeps knocking her around. The second girl also initially had a slender stem, so I guess it is their genetics. (#1 is 12 cm tall and 15 cm wide, while #2 is 20 cm tall and 35 cm wide.) I will need to top the second girl this week as she grows a lot each day. I'm considering mainlining her but haven't made up my mind yet. I gave both girls around one liter of water @ pH 6.5. D25 - A couple of days ago, switching the lights to the veg program made the cover crop explode and turn into a jungle. I decided to trim down the red clover to increase the airflow around the girls and reduce water use. I watered the girls only yesterday, but they were already thirsty again, so I think that the clover was drinking quite a bit as well. After cutting back the clover, I gave each girl around 1.2-liters of water @ pH 6.5. D27- Today was the last day in week three of veg for the second girl and the last day in week two for the first girl. I really should have topped the second girl already, so that will need to be done as soon as possible. She is 26 cm tall and 38 cm wide, while the first girl is 13 cm tall and 27 cm wide. Yesterday, I removed the support from the first girl as her stem had gotten more robust, so it was no longer necessary. Today, I started brewing compost tea (worm castings, neem meal, kelp meal, biochar, rock dust, algal limestone, bentonite, and molasses) which I will leave overnight and feed to the girls tomorrow.

I'm going to give her a few more days still, we're not quite there yet. Doesn't look like I'm going to pull much off of this one... but we'll see. There are a few really nice dense nugs.
