After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

Just started my account here! Might as well start where im at. 6 weeks in shes starting to swell. I found this seed in a bag of some good stuff.

Ummm... get Advanced Nutrients. The amazing difference is differently amazing. I can't say anything bad about GHE, it's just insanely better than over here on the Advanced Nutrient side of things. Noticeable differences in 3 days. If you have any questions, send me a message. I've done a ton of research on Advanced Nutrients and can basically tell you "what's what" in comparison to GHE and save you a couple bucks. Knowledge is power, friends! I'm still using my GHE Diamond Nectar in-place of Advanced Nutrients Rhino Skin until the bottle is gone. It's all humic acid, no big deal. I'll change to AN when I'm done. My buds are purple. Never in a million years would I have guessed I got purple genetics on my first grow. We'll see if they stay around! Defoliation: Only larger fan leaves to open canopy. Day 46 - 8/12: We had a huge storm that did not knock our power out, luckily. All of the girls are thriving and tomorrow I receive the remaining nutrients. They are going fucking bananas. Temps are 77s and humidity is 45-55. Perfect. Day 47 - 8/13: Holy fuck.

2019-06-07 to 2019-06-13 - F1 to F6 Flipped to 12/12 on june 8th Defoliated it, and LSTed it more every day. Added scrog on F4 after applying the lollipopping method

She was grown in a 24 oz. cup with NO ISSUES.. Which leads me to believe that "rootbound" is nothing but a myth.. I have grown 4 other girls in even smaller cups.. Same outcome.. No issues whatsoever.. I will be updating more as the harvest progresses.. Im going to dry and cure the same way I did the White Widow I recently harvested.. Which is.. In the box I will run the fan for 24 - 48 hours.. Once I notice the plant is beginning to shrivel up some I will stop using the fan and go with how the buds feel.. I would rather jar them up too early because if the hygrometer reads 70% humidity then I can just lay her out for another few hours and jar her back up.. Once she is able to sit in the jar and doesnt go over 68% than i will only burp once every 2 or 3 days for about a week.. It all depends how dry she gets before curing.. Not going to count my chickens before they hatch.. That is just the way I have been able to dry and cure without ruining any terpenes since my environment is not all that great for drying and curing cannabis.. Anyways.. Will be updating as I go!!! So happy and excited.. But when I wake up I already know that Im going to jump up to check on her in the tent like I have been for the past 106 days lol.. Anyways.. Will be updating!!! Day 108.. About 20 hours after harvesting.. She is still smelling lovely.. In the past it would start smelling like hay.. But I've figured out how to slow the drying process down with my awful environment.. I also cut the fan off for now.. I may cut it back on later today or tomo.. We shall see!!! Day 109.. About 48 hours of drying.. Not sure if its the box I'm smelling along with the skunk.. But it's kinda smelling a bit weird.. Almost hay like.. Ugh.. I will be PISSED if I ruined this one.. Stems are still super bendy.. Not even close to snapping.. I'm going to leave the fan off for now.. The warmth in the room the box is in is probably enough to help dry.. Hopefully not gonna dry too fast.. Leaves are still not crisp.. So that's another good sign.. We will see what happens!!! So excited to give this nasty bitch a taste!!! Day 4 of drying (after harvest)... Ok.. So I havent been noting anything down.. But this is what has happened so far.. The plant was pretty much dry on the 3rd morning.. Or so it felt.. Crispy.. Smaller stems were snapping.. So I put it in jars.. I havent weighed it yet tho.. Will do that later.. But after about 12 hours in the jars (3 Qt sized jars btw) the hygrometers were reading 72%, 74% and 78%.. So I left them out overnight for about 16 hours or so.. Maybe not even that long.. I put them in jars early this morning and left for work.. After about an hour or 2 in the jars, they were reading about 56% - 57%.. I hope I didnt over dry them overnight.. I went ahead and grabbed a nice sized nug to teat out for today.. Stoned asf.. Thats for sure.. But the smoke is still pretty harsh.. I can smell the skunk for sure still.. Its actually really stinky lol.. Like, not an attractive smell whatsoever lol.. But its for sure the terpenes.. Not any issues with them.. But when I get home.. I'll be able to get a better, longer reading on the huds today after last nights drying... ... Later.. Ok so one jar is reading at 62% second jar is reading 57% and the last jar is ready 54%... They all still smell great : 1: but I'm wondering if a nug from the 62% jar is not going to be as harsh as the jar at 54%.. Hmm.. May try that out later tonight.. ... Even later.. Lol So yeah the 62% jar is much smoother.. No harshness whatsoever.. Ok.. I see where I make my mistakes.. But can still save the smells and tastes.. Im sure the other jars will eventually lose the harshness.. I hope.. My Berry Ryder never lost any harshness.. That was harvested and a little overdried like over 6 months ago.. Still harsh.. But this strain doent smell like hay.. The worst smell you can smell when it comes to drying and curing.. For me atleast.. If it smells like hay.. The tepenes are long gone lol.. I have had my first 3 harvests come out like f'n hay.. But I think I got it figured out.. For the most part.. Just need to get better temps in drying.. Hmm.. Fuck it.. Maybe even use a evaporative cooling humidifier in the room with it.. Not in the box (obviously cuz the one I got would fill the drying box pretty much.. Its huge asf).. Load it up with ice daily.. Damn I forgot I had that thing.. I need it for my tent now actually.. Got a 20oz cup with a 4 week old ZkittleZ Glue (Photoperiod) from Expert Seeds.. Not even flowering yet that already smells dank asf.. Flippin it in the next few couple days actually.. Dont have a diary on her tho..anyhoo.. Will be updating and adding some updated pics in the AM... About 4 days of curing... Well each jar is a bit different.. I am noticing that jar #1 is at 63% humidity and smells dank as fuuuuck.. No need for any humidity pack.. At least not right now. Jar #2 is at 58% humidity with a humidity pack and it smells pretty danky as fucky too.. But not as strong as jar #1.. And jar #3 is at 55-56% humidity with a humidity pack and doesnt really smell much.. It does.. But for sure not as strong as jar #1 and #2.. Which brings me to my next issue.. I bought these Integra Boost 62% Humidity Packs... They worked well about 6 months ago.. I left these others sealed up and protected for ANYTHING.. and now they fucking suck.. Is there a time limit on these fuckers? Does Boveda 62 Packs do the same shit??? Ugh.. Wasted money like a mf'r.. If I took the packs out of jar #2 and #3 it would not change the humidity whatsoever.. I thought they would at least do SOMETHING.. a couple more digits up.. But hell no.. I even handled the fuck out of them hoping to stir em up and "active" em or some shit lol.. But nope.. Nothing.. These things suck.. Boveda 62 is my next purchase.. But I'll wait for my next harvest.. Smh.. Maybe if I double up they will work better? Such a fucking waste.. It was about 65 or 66 grams all together.. I already smoked about a gram to try it out.. So now ill just say its 64 grams. Not bad for a 24 oz cup grow in my opinion... By the way.. Integra Boost 62% Humidity Packs SUCK!!!. They did work the first time I used them. But about 30 - 60 days later I used 2 more gor these jars.. And it cant keep anything above what it naturally was in the jar.. Sometimes I feel like mixing them up in their package.. Like crumpling the whole thing up and moving all the gel, or whatever thats inside, around to help.. Activate it?? Lol it brought it up 1%.. Thats it.. I even put 4 of them in a jar of bud that was already 58%.. With all 4 Integra Boost packs.. 60% on a good day lol.. Boveda packs too a few days to start working.. But ai had to kinda "activate" them as well.. After 4 days of "activating" and NOW the jars are 62% - 63% from natually about 57% and 58%... The third jar is natually at 62% - 63% so I just burp that one once a week.. Smells so super skunky! Tastes amazing.. Nugs are pretty dense also.. Lots of red hairs (dead pistils) which kinda help for the bag appeal more than anything.. As a kid growing up.. I always thought it was the hairs that got you high.. I also thought that you could just plant them outside anytime of the year.. And that the thc was stored in the roots.. Thats why they hang plants upside down.. So my first couple harvests as a kid (2 grams max and only flowered for probably 5 weeks if not only 4) and hug the entire plant upside down including the dirty ass roots that I had in the mud ai was using to grow them in. Smh.. What was I thinking?!?! Haha... Anyways.. Boveda packs are working.. Integra Boost packs stop working if you dont use them up within a month.. Smh.. Trash.. Fucking trash

Will get to this later and update with a dry weight hopefully if it allows me. 260g with stem on Sat.. Mon am 116g. Fan off for a day @57%

Week 7 of flowering and the ladies are looking great, a couple more weeks until harvest. I keep the nutrs the same until the end phase where I will only add some Flawless Finish to my water.

D43. The first day in the second week of flower, everything is good in the tent. She might be small and stunted, but she looks healthy, vibrant, and strong. ------------------------------ D45. There's nothing to report, really. She is quietly doing her thing, and there isn't much for me to do at this point. The mushroom kit seems to have just died after harvest, and today, I noticed some mold and removed it immediately. It was a fun experiment that didn't work out as I'd hoped. Oh, well :) ------------------------------ D47. Zzzzzzzz... flower is so dull as there's nothing to do but wait. ------------------------------ D49. There's not much to report at the end of the second week of flower. Yesterday, the entire tent was without power, so there was no light or exhaust for five hours. Ugh! Fortunately, I was making some compost tea and discovered the lack of power when watering. I gave the girl 2.5 liters of compost tea and humic acid @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------

Hey! Last week of flower. I'm super excited with this strain. Heavy yielder, easy grower, nothing much to add now I'll do a complete review of this strain. Chopped on day 60 of flower. Take care out there! One love Growers & tokers!

What to say what to say...... lol last week of nutes and I flush! Smells so heavenly like someone dropped me into a candy filled ball pond lol the buds are so dense and hard so swelling during flush has got me excited already because they’re only going to put on weight at the end! So happy with this one! Mouth waters every time I open the tent! As the wedding gelato is in the same one so heaven meets heaven! I had noticed a little burn maybe wind burn when my fans were closer but hasn’t affected the plant itself at all! Harvest real soon! This is the best I’ve done ever I did say I will show all I have learned in these next diaries after honey cream and look?? Love it!

These ladies are in full flower and progressing like a dream. The colas on them are chunky to all get out. And to think they've barely begun the flower period is mind blowing to me. I'll go in this week and do a good cleaning taking out some of the crispy leafs on the under canopy. Over all though Happy Growing.

Swapped tents mars hydro 600w led And mars hydro tent now, so the black sugar are in the bigger tent now. Topped 3 of them, gona let the new start catch up. Seem to be growing at a decent rate, possible over water on the younger one but hopefully over comes.

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... Wao. Well, all good hopefully they will stop growing soon but the strech is not that much thanks for the trainings such as topping and LST.... Pistils are started appearing so they she the sex I think one more week to go and they will settle down concentrating on bud development. What to say every 2nd day is fertilization with the mix and ratio above now we are waiting. Anything else? Well just look atbthe pictures and decide what you think. I am pretty sure they look cool LOL. This Gleato Zamnesia is very promising I really like the smell already she is nice but all of them I mean I am in love with all so. Kalinia Asia is nice and I am so excited for the Sweed Seeds ones the red girls OMG :)

Ripped out the males, switching to plain water after this week!

So far so good. They are starting to fatten up really nicely. The plant which was a hermie develops seeds inside the buds as I can see, the other two look fine. Also the plants start to show a bit of color which I am really looking forward to.

Got my growing tent finally.
