well this little girl has just started pre flower so she should be in full flower by this time next week. Hopefully she gets some fast growth before the flowering begins.

The buds are getting thicker. But, so far, they do not impress me. Maybe it's genetics, I have a lot of experience with autoflowers, this is my first experience with photoperiod plants.

Day 102 / Day 23 (Week 4) of Flowering Nothing done today but watering the plants with the same solution i have been giving them since beginning of flowering.. Day 105 / Day 26 (Week 4) of Flowering Same as day 102

9/3 Shook the plants off this morning and took a few pics and did a video. Let's see if it uploads. Plants are doing good. Toasted toffy is due for another plant doctor application tonight. It seems like I'm losing lots of leaves. Looking back on my other diaries I guess it's normal. BUT I could've had pest/pathogen problems then. I'm over thinking it. Toasted toffy only needs a few more weeks. It will definitely outvrun the disease. The nugs are super dense too. The plant in the 50 is loosing leaves faster than I'd like. It is also one of the furthest along. The big leaves that turn yellow look like it's a calcium/magnesium issue. The stalk and branches are all bright green and healthy looking. So are the flowers. It could be something below the soil. I couldve been overwatering but last time I waited until it drooped. It will be fine though. I'm happy with my results so far. Not my best or biggest year but I'm going to put in the work and Mae these plants produce the best quality cannabis that im able too. Also I think plant doctor may kill insects. K bicarb with dawn does too. I've found a few dead bugs like flies and pillars. Pillars actually seem to be gone. Not many moths either. Unless I see them I'm not going to treat them for it. This is that magical time where you get to watch the plant produce those beautiful flowers. Despite some small problems I'm very grateful for what I have. I've worked hard for it. 9/4 Watered everything but the sherb pie which was still heavy with leaves yellowing. It's tied for the furthest behind in flower with the seed in the 10. I treated the toasted toffy with 1/4 gallon (4tsp/gallon) of plant doctor. I avoided flowers as much as possible and tried to just get a few leaves. I used the rest on the soil. I just wanted it to absorb a little faster. That's why I sprayed the foliage. It's not 4 days it's 14 days when tje plant doctor just leaves behind a bunch of potassium and phosphorus after it's done its job. Can't be used in a 14 day interval with copper and I think that's what treats septoria best. I dontvknow if I can use that in flower. Doesn't really matter. Things are looking good. Plant Doctor and the K bicarb seem to be doing there job effectively as long as i stick to the application times. I made a short video but didn't upload. I'll try again but I may have some medical emergencies that need to be dealt with. If not I should defoliate and tie down some event horizon branches. I thought about treating the other event horizon as well. I'm not positive it has septoria but it wouldn't hurt anything to be practice. It AT LEAST has a couple suspucuous spots. I smelled a skunk as soon as I got out of my car. It can't get in my grow but I might put out traps to catch it. We'll see how it goes. Video seems to be uploading. It's at 31% so I'll wait for it. I think I've got like four or five weeks on my toasted toffy and one event horizon and the one in the 50 that I THINK is red runtz. That's good that I'll have different plants to harvest at different times. It's seeds from here on out though. It was hard to find info on some of the strains I'm growing but they all have ONE thing in common. They are EXOTIC and they are at least MODERATELY DIFFICULT to grow. AT LEAST lol. Last year I picked the right seefs and strains and it greatly helped. Still, if these are difficult strains to grow, then I'm doing a good job. EDIT: I WAS STONED BUT IM PRETTY SURE I TREATED THE PLANT IN THE 50 WITH PLANT DOCTOR. DIDNT SPRAY BUDS. TRIED TO GET THE LEAVES THEN USED THE REST ON THE SOIL. I REMEMBER BECAUSE A STREAM ACCIDENTLY HIT A COUPLE LEAVES ON THE HUGE PLANT IN THE 10. 9/5 Sherb Pie was light and drooping. It's not to far in flower and still seemed moist yesterday with a little bit of weight. I watered it a gallon. I defoliated a little but I need to go through that plant. I have a bunch of plants that need a little work. The 50 gal seed is losing lots of leaves. I must not be feeding it enough, overwatering or maybe theres some sort of lock out. The plant looks nice and healthy. Leaves just turn yellow and die. Looked like a calcium or magnesium deficiency but i saw a septoria spot. I wouldn't think I've over feed or locked out using the small amounts of nutes I've used. It will be time to feed again soon. It's in the middle of flowering and still has leaves. I'm hoping things work out. I just have an anxiety disorder and worry too much. I'm GOING To have a great harve! I just need to keep moving forward and putting in the work. 9/6 What a fucking shitty morning. I did research on how to keep skunks out of your garden. Because I smelled it and the neighbors shot a few. Dad put traps out and it caught one. It wasn't a no spray trap so I approached it with him. Both had tarps. I kept telling him to throw it while I was distracting it bur he got a cramp and only got it over half. The half away from my garden. It's pretty far and down in a field but still. We had talked all morning about how to release it. I offered to drive their dog to take it for a walk so his alcoholic girlfriend wouldn't spiteful put the dog on its run. It wouldn't be sprayed but I made it out like it would ruin my plants. Picked dad up and got him to the bathroom. In that 30 seconds the stupid bitch grabbed the dog and brought it outside despite me YELLING "Can't you wait 5 minutes!? We've been dealing with this all morning. I heard fuck you in my head and she did it anyway. Dog ran at the skunk barking and it sprayed. Not a lot but I was fucking pissed. She's a full blown alcoholic and doesn't like me around early or the fact that my old man's 80 and house is mine. Anyway I got back and there was NO SKUNK SMELL. AT ALL! I WATERED EVERYTHING BUT SHERB PIE AND FED EVERYTHING BUT SHERB PIE. ILL FEED AND WATER THAT TOMORROW. WATERED A GALLON WITH A QUART OF FEED. Researched my strains found out they were all "difficult" to grow. One year ago to the Day I cut my first tenth planet. I got a couple close to a few weeks but the others will be later. If I can pull this off though I'll have some crazy quality! Grateful for what I have that's for sure! I doubled beastie bloom this time. We'll see how it goes.nothings uploading. I did some vids a pictures but I'll have to upload today. 9/7 I think it rained last night. I forgot to water and feed the sherb pie but I'll do it when I get back. I shook off the plants the best I could. I need to get the leaf blower out now and put it to use. Buds are swelling like crazy. GMOs are very tight flowers. Same with the event horizon. Rock hard nugs. With the gmo's I'm not worried. The were monster cropped so they have enough leaves even if some do die off. The toasted toffy only has like four weeks left. Same with the event horizon. The plant in the ten is the furthest behind but it's extremely healthy. I removed some leaves from the bottom and large fan leaves. The plant in the 50 I hope finishes before it loses all its leaves. I treated it with plant doctor and SOME people strip their plants but I don't. I'm grateful for what I've got. Won't be the biggest harvest but WHEN I make it to the finish line I will have some incredibly potent strains. I'm proud of myself to even get these to finish seeingvthe level of difficulty on cultivation. I'm trying to upload some stuff. We'll see. 9/8 Apparently it rained pretty hard last night. Took forever to go through and shake everything off and defoliate what needs it. Sherb pie is praying to the sky and almost totally purple. It's flowering so much more in the last couple days. Everything has. Even the one in the ten is stacking up! I defoliated most of what needed it and I was soaked. I noticed a branch on the middle gmo that was getting heavy and starting to break away from the trunk. It wad wobbly but I don't think there was a break un the Cambrian. I made a sling with rope (couldn't find zip ties) and I pulled it tight amd secured that branch to the tomato cage. GMO buds are hard as rocks. Everything is in overdrive. They liked that beastie bloom. I have cha ching but nothings ready for that yet I don't think. We'll the event horizon and toasted toffy might be I'll have to check. It's been beautiful today but not too hot. Lots of wind which is good. I'll upgrade supports as needed. Flowers are progressing at an amazing rate. Weather is supposed to be great the next few days. I'll keep this updated. 9/9 Had to shake the plants off. WATERED EVERYTHING BUT THE SHERB PIE WHICH WAS REALLY HEAVY. It's also lost a lot of leaves and the majority of leaves have turned purple. Toasted toffy and event horizon and red runts are pretty far into flower. I tried to take some pictures. Even the ten is blowing up! That looks like I'm going to switch to cha ching when flower gets further. Trichs are developing nicely on the ones further in flower. This year it's going to be quality over quantity. All these strains are ranked HARD to grow but have insane cannabinoid profiles and high THC %'s. So if I can keep it together for another month I'll be golden. Looking forward to it. This is the fun part. It's also the anxiety provoking part. I've learned a lot just since joining grow diaries.

…..

The first 2 days I also gave voodoo juice. 21d LST works excellently with the plant. Side branches look powerful and grow very fast. 23d LST already has given me great results, I'll have a minimum of 8 strong side branches. So my main goal was reached: vitality will be distributed more to the side branches, and the height of the plant will fit in the box. I'll allow it to become taller, and if it does not start blooming - I'll do LST again. I've already prepared the stem for rotation. And I don't expect a bloom in 2-3 days, but it should be enough with the current growing dynamic. So LST2.0 is coming... ^_^ A few leaves blocking the light of the side branches were cut off. 24d All branches are on the same level with the stem. I’ll have at least 10 (hopefully 12-14 before flowering) strong branches + the main stem. 25d Start rotating the stem. I took off all stretching for the night and half a day. It restored the stem a bit, and I've made new stretchings. It is very obedient, but I start worrying about the number of side branches I have, and they start fighting =( 28d The end of the week. It has shown bloom signs, so probably next week will be flowering ^_^ LST gave great results I have 10 branches + 2 coming soon. Only one is a bit problematic, cuz it was crushed, but I still hope that it'll recover.

I decided to give the ladies a extra week and I am glad I did these beauties have really fattened up Trichomes are all misty with a few Amber now is the time whoop whoop

Grow Diary – Week 15 Catching Up & Plant Training Last week was super busy due to the Mary Jane expo, so I barely had any time for the garden and could only keep an eye on things via the camera feed. Because of that, there was quite a bit of work waiting for me this week. I focused heavily on the High Society and the Zupernova. I started by transplanting just one High Society and one Zupernova into big 30-liter pots, while the rest of the plants will follow later this week. Checking the root ball during the process, the transplant came at the absolute perfect time. The roots were incredibly dense, fully binding the substrate, and showed a beautifully healthy, bright white-to-beige color with no signs of root rot. In their new 30L homes, they have all the space they need to explode. To shape a great canopy, I put these plants through a round of Super Cropping by snapping the branches. They feature thick, well-established main stalks that provide excellent structural stability for this kind of high-stress training. I followed this up with some thorough defoliation to clear out the lower growth, improve airflow, and get the light right where it needs to be. The foliage looks highly vibrant and bushy with a rich green color, showing great overall vitality, though I noticed some genetic purple/reddish tinting on the stems which is typical for these genetics. **Current Environment & Setup** The climate in the tent is looking very solid and stable right now. The air temperature is sitting comfortably at 26.4 °C with a relative humidity of 64.7%. This puts the VPD at a perfect 1.21 kPa, which is an absolute sweet spot for this stage of growth. Down in the medium, the soil temperature is at 24.4 °C with a moisture level of 40.3%. The main ventilation fan is working away at level 10 to manage the temperature and humidity, keeping everything perfectly on track after a busy week of maintenance! Thanks for tuning in and following along with this week's update. Let's see how the girls bounce back from the heavy training and stretch into their new pots over the coming days. Happy growing to you all, and see you next week!

🌿 Harvest Update: Devil Cookie - The Chop! ?❄️ Let's go! Welcome to the final update for Devil Cookie. She is officially chopped and hanging to dry. 📈 The Details / Harvest Report: The Chop: Harvested right inside the optimal window. Checking the heads one last time before the chop showed fully milky trichomes with a solid percentage of amber pushing through perfectly. Density & Weight: She stayed incredibly top-heavy right up to the end. The colas finished completely swollen, dense, and chunky. Resin Production: As you can see in the macro shots, the frost is insane. The calyxes and sugar leaves are entirely caked in a thick, sticky layer of mature trichomes. Canopy Structure: The lollipopping and heavy defoliation we did earlier paid off. We ended up with solid, heavy nugs all the way down the branches and minimal larf to deal with. 💧 Next Steps: The grow cycle is done, and now we move to the dry. She is chopped and hanging in the dark. I am keeping the temperature and humidity strictly dialed in for a slow, controlled drying process. Once the stems give that perfect snap, she will be trimmed up and moved into jars for the cure. Devil Cookie One: A Sweet and Uplifting Smoke Experience Sweet Incense and Spice with a Calming Edge Overall: 9.5/10 Summary: Sweet, uplifting, and creatively calming, Devil Cookie One is a true gem in the world of cannabis. Appearance: This strain is dense and frosty, with an appearance that's both inviting and intimidating. Nose: The aroma is floral and sweet, reminiscent of frankincense and forest flowers. It's a truly unique and alluring scent. Taste: When smoked, the flavor profile shifts towards incense and spices, with a smooth and sweet aftertaste. Effects: The effects are a masterful blend of uplifting, creative, and calming properties, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced high. Burn: The burn is smooth and even, leaving behind only the whitest of ashes. Cure: As Devil Cookie One cures, it develops an increasingly sweet profile, evoking images of a gateway to an international forest filled with the most exquisite flowers. It's truly out of this world. Devil Cookie One is a standout strain that showcases its unique characteristics through every aspect, from its appearance to its effects. With a smooth burn and an increasingly sweet profile, it's a must-try for any cannabis connoisseur. Let's keep it growing! 🌱💨

going ok gave them the boost and pk warrior hopefully this will maximise results

I harvested her today, the trichomes were to my liking. She is STINKY, she is definatly taking after her diesel heritage, granted, she does have a super fruity tropical smell. She developed some purple tinges to the calix with the lights out temp in the 60's. Super starchy, and lanky. She needed support 3 weeks into flower. The buds are fat and solid. There was some foxtailing at the end, but its expected. She is super frosty and I'm happy with the outcome thus far. I'm trying out whole plant hang drying instead of individual branch hanging. Definatly saving me some time.

its been a hot dry week but the girls have fared it well. mound design and soil content have helped keep moisture in the root ball of the plants. Hopefully we get some rain this week otherwise im going to be spending a day just watering them. fingers crossed for rain. We need a rain dance here.

D22. We're at the start of the fourth week, and she loves life and looks healthy and vibrant. I prepared some Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) today. I started a few days ago by soaking barley and corn in water with fulvic acid and kelp meal, then letting the seeds rest in a moist towel inside a paper bag. Today, the seeds had sprouted enough, and I put them in a blender with one liter of water and blitzed the hell out of them. The amount of finished tea was sufficient for ten liters of water, so I filled small plastic bags with the leftover tea and put them in the freezer. That way, I can grab a bag whenever without going through the whole sprouting process each time. I gave her one liter of the SST @ pH 6.5, with some humic acid mixed in. She also got a light foliar spray with fulvic acid and horticultural soap as a wetting agent. Increased DLI to 32 and will start LST tomorrow. ------------------------------ D23. She had finally grown up enough to get tied down, so I started LST today. Well, barely, as all I did was lean her over. The branches on the first node are underdeveloped, as they often are due to only having a single-leaf fanleaf to power them. I removed the bottom branch/leaf but kept the top. For now. I'll give it a chance now when it gets more light, but doubtful that I'll keep it. ------------------------------ D25. I'm adjusting and/or adding LST a couple of times per day. The soil is still moist and hasn't required any additional watering. (I plan to fill the bottom reservoir for the first time in a few days.) Other than that, it's smooth sailing. DLI set to 36. ------------------------------ D28. We're at the end of the fourth week and the last week of veg as she is moving into flower. It already looks like she will be a purple phenotype. Statistically, most are, but I was hoping for a green anyway. More LST to spread her out. DLI set to 40. ------------------------------

Well time for the chop, I'm not waiting any longer! 10 weeks on a "fast" "ruderelis" cross my a@$! None the less she smells amazing, thick strawberry old school hash at the moment. The back couple of phenos could have done another week easy!! Trimmers at the ready boys and girls, results coming soon!!!

The video is probably the quickest update 😄 My next run; i plan to be less of a Variety King and finally use my SCROG net. The beans I'll be running to scrog are Royal Cookies and El Patron (both RQS), if anyone has any experience with those strains? I'll be running a smaller Apple Fritter and Blue Cheese auto too... hey, I have very discerning terp-buds, ok?!

Week 8 and the Tart Pops girl is looking frosty and fragrant — sweet candy terps with a tangy twist filling the tent. Buds have packed on some serious weight over the past two weeks, with dense colas coated in a thick layer of sticky trichomes. The colors are starting to show hints of purple and pink under the sunlight, giving them that “dessert shelf” look. Pistils are about 70–80% turned, and trichomes are mostly cloudy with a few clear still hanging around. Feedings are being tapered down, and the plants are cruising into their final phase before the flush begins. Estimated harvest window Day 63–70 (Week 9–10) depending on trichome maturity. A few more days to let those terps peak and resin fully ripen before the chop. The Tart Pops are almost ready to live up to her name — sweet, sticky, and seriously tempting.

Fattening up nicely, and smelling like citrus...I'm impressed

Wow
