10. week. Hopefully less than 4 to go. Grow continues to run smoothly as before. The only point that is stressful is the humidity some times but mostly only after watering and since I’m watching them plants every 2 hours anyway the build isn’t that large. I just needed to understand that these plants will increase their transpiration towards midday and then decline again. So when I see 60% at lunch I don’t have to panic as much. Ryu started to smell strongly when touching him but the smell when opening the tent is still moderate. However I’m looking forward to a very nice and efficient harvest.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 22/11/2019 - Pot feels light and dry gave her 1,5l PH 6.2 water with 0.75ml-Grow, 0.75ml-Max, 1.5ml-Bloom, 2.25ml-Heaven and 2.25ml-Acti vera from Biobizz, noticed almost no runoff this time. 27/11/2019 - Pot feels light and dry gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 water, noticed a lot of burned tips no nuts this time I guess? some runoff appeared.

Day 1 Flower (Day 43) Wooohoooo! First day of flower! I decided to flip both plants after all. The thing is that I will be fully vaccinated against Corona by mid-July, and when that is done, I'm off on vacation. After 1,5 years of this pandemic crap, I'm more than ready to travel again, to see the world, meet new people, and have new experiences. So yeah, this strain is supposed to be a fast flowering strain (45 days!), so mid-July should do it. I switched to the Flower Induction light recipe in my main tent, and I will let that recipe run for some days before I switch over to the regular Flower recipe. The tiny tent has nothing so fancy and was switched to a regular 12/12 schedule. Speaking about lights. That cheap budget light that I bought for my veggies when I moved in my ViparSpectra light into the tiny tent broke down after only two days. So much for trying to save a bit by buying something cheap. I've already sent it back and won't get another light as I think the tomatoes and chilis are ready to move outside. I'll wait and buy this fall instead, but I won't go for the cheapest light I can find then. lol I was foliar feeding the girls with filtered compost tea while they were still sleeping. I only spray when the lights are out to avoid any leaf burns. A few hours later, after the girls woke up, I gave them each around 3 liters of unfiltered pH 6.2 compost tea. I FINALLY remembered to pH the compost tea. Woooooo!!! That was all today. Day 2 Flower (Day 44) Today was a really busy day. I opened the tents, took pics, closed up the tents. Phew! Exhausting. Day 3 Flower (Day 45) Alright, today was a bit more work than yesterday but still fairly relaxed. I watered the girls; the left one got 3 liters, and the right one got 4.5 liters of pH 6.0 water. I noticed a bit of light bleaching on the girl in the small tent, so I turned down the light a bit and increased the distance to the canopy. It is very tight in there, but that is expected with such a small tent. I will need to raise the light more in the future, and I'll probably have to resort to a bit of MacGyver-ism to make it work but that's a problem for a later day. The girl in the main tent has a bit of an uneven canopy where the left side is taller, so I raised the left light as the light level was around 1300 PPFD. I also super-cropped half a dozen branches to slow them down and let the rest of the canopy catch up. It's probably the last training I do before the girls go into flower. Finally, I did a bit of defoliating by removing a few leaves that weren't getting any light low down on the girls. Day 4 Flower (Day 46) Fuck. Disaster struck. I opened the main tent today and found that the CO2 bag had fallen down and broken one of the main branches. That one branch is responsible for about a quarter of the canopy, so losing it would suck. I got busy right away taping the broken branch and used some old chili stalks to support the branch further. I also watered it with around 1.5 liters of pH 6.5 water hoping that it will be beneficial. Now, all I can do is wait and hope for the best. For those of you who have been following this diary, you already know that I dislike this CO2 bag because it smells like shit. Literally. Now though, I really hate this friggin shit bag and its weird hanging contraption that is as shitty as the smell from the bag. Day 5 Flower (Day 47) So far so good. Last night, I checked in on her a couple of hours after I taped the broken branch and the left side of the canopy was already back up with no drooping leaves or branches. YES! However, it was still nerve-wracking to open the tent today but she looked just fine. Fingers crossed that it holds. Naturally, I don't want to disturb her much right now so all I did today was to water her and carefully LST a couple of branches that got messed up yesterday. I gave her 2 liters of pH 6-0 water and 1 liter of water to the girl in the small tent. Speaking of the small tent. There's some light bleaching on the tips of the leaves closest to the light so I turned down the dimmer even further down to 40%. I need to try to raise the light but can only gain another 5-7 cm. The tent is soo tiny lol. Will be interesting to see if she will even fit in there after the stretch is done. I also raised the lights in the main tent as the canopy was getting a bit close. That was it for today. Day 6 Flower (Day 48) Chill day today. All I did today was to water the girls 3 liters each of pH 6.5 water. Day 7 Flower (Day 49) Today was the end of a rather tumultuous first week of flower. It looks like I got lucky, though, and that the branch on the right girl will survive. She is growing strong and loving life. I am hopeful. She is a big girl and drinks a lot, so I'm watering her every day (around 10% of pot volume), and I gave her 3 liters of pH 6.4 water today. The left girl didn't need any, so I just measured both girls, snapped some pics and videos before zipping up both tents. The left girl is 50 cm tall (12 cm increase in a week), and the right girl is 77 cm tall (31 cm increase in a week!)

Successful Germination 😎 So far so good, all 5 seedlings are looking healthy, could have let them stretch abit more but.... I don't mind their size at the moment 👍🏾 Really excited about this grow because I know what to expect already and it is AMAZING! 😁🔥😎

Unos esquejes brutales pero las condiciones del cultivo no fueron óptimas tuvimos retrasos al principio con el crecimiento problemas de nitrogeno, algo de humedad alta al principio de la floración y aun así salió el producto muy bueno, tanto de sabor como de cómo con. Sencillez es fácil de cultivar es rápida de cojones y además es resistente.

Already showing some flower buds. It's developing well. Did some hard defoliation. smells good

These are 4 clones off of the mother plant. They vegged for 9 weeks.

Going

Okay, now they are really growing fast. I need to flip to flower!

Gave her some preflower food and more mycorrhizae. She's stretching like crazy 🤣 I'm loving the smell all ready. Smelling lemon and fruits. Gave her some low stress training and at the end of the week.

This was a quiet week. The girls were recovering from their topping but were also flipping into flower. They have been getting water every two days and that seems to be an issue so I bought an auto watering drip system to install next week. The gorilla cookies is still the best grower out of the batch and really doing well. Excited to see the girl after some more training. Dimmed to 60% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by!

Still going and still stinky. I figure another week or so

I brought a few bottles of good wine from Italy to celebrate the good harvests with friends. This evening, we'll be opening a nice Valdobbiadene prosecco to celebrate this harvest, which is a feast for the eyes: LA KUSH CAKE by Zamnesia - We're talking about a California-caliber strain in every way, beyond the name: resin, flower firmness, and a full Kush Mint style are all present and clearly visible, giving the buds a truly Californian feel. Only Snoop is missing because he's in Italy for the Olympics. We have spectacular dark foliage at the end that literally makes my eyes go crazy with joy; I couldn't stop taking pictures, I can't stop looking at the photo and video. The plant looks a lot like the Black Diamond in that magnificent dark phenotype I found, and also like an epic Runtz pheno I recently had, all documented in the diaries. If you want, have fun looking for them. I can't help but think of and mention the legendary King's Tart by Greenhouse, which was hybridized from LA Kush Cake, and when my friend Gabriele sent it to me for the first time, telling me it was special because it was hybridized with a super Californian... I'm truly embarrassed by its beauty, like when a beautiful girl talks to me and makes me blush. And I have to tell you, it's not even the best; there are two more epic ones on the way. Maturity - The pistils have looked super ripe for a long time, especially the top ones, which are very red, and we're still over 90%. The trichomes are roughly 30% amber, 50% cloudy/milky, and 20% transparent, more or less naturally, but I think it's perfectly fine; it looks super ripe. The flowers are all of the highest quality, and the yield is average. They aren't giant, but they are firm and very firm. The overall shape of the plant is truly splendid. It was harvested correctly at the right time, naturally. Techniques chosen: As mentioned, the plant was left to grow freely and beautifully. We went 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to start with more gradual and reliable watering, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week of soil is sufficient, so don't overdo it. Choose your favorite style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Visit the new Growshop area on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop An excellent strain, excellent yields, compact buds, and excellent resin!

The buds are pretty airy.. Not dense at all. But still very happy with the outcome. Can't wait to have it all weighed out.. (Dry of course) The root ball was HUGE... I always have an issue with drying too quick (3 days) so, I'm hoping that the box with the computer fan will still move enough air to keep mold from growing.. But not too much to dry out too fast. Also, keeping it in an unused room that stays alot cooler than the rest of the house. Will update when dried and ready for jars! 50 hours of drying.. She still seems pretty moist.. At least.. That's what she said.. Lol.. Had to.. Anyways.. Yeah leaves are still pretty soft almost lively kinda still.. Not crispy.. Trying to make this dry super slow.. And NO hay smell so far.. That's a good thing.. I think.. As long as it still smells like dank.. Tired of drying my buds too quick or too much if I push for 4 days.. 3 days is not good enough.. Im pushing for at least.. AT LEAST 5 days drying and the buds still able to produce about 65% humidity, or so, on their own.. That is what has worked best for me.. Even if it dried in 3 days.. As long as I get the humidity right for curing it wont ruin the terpenes from what I have been experiencing.. Anybody got any other ideas? Lol cuz what I find on the net doesnt work for me.. I didnt wanna use a fan on this.. And im only using a very small weak computer fan that I rigged up to use even less power.. Just scared to dry this too quickor too much.. Thinking about turning the fan off for a little bit.. Maybe the rest of the day and night.. Ok.. So 6 hours after I turned the fan off.. Still reading 55% RH and 20.5C.. It shouldnt mold *crosses fingers* 74 hours drying.. The buds seem very very airy.. And it seems like its one of those types that look like alot but really weighs half of what it looks.. Maybe when I trim her up she'll look better.. Still a very fun and interesting learning experience! On to the next! Still going to update more!!! Probably tomorrow lol Its been a little over 100 hours of drying and the buds and leaves are feeling pretty crisp.. If I wait till the branches "snap" then it usually comes out too dry.. And so far jars 1 and 2 which are the popcorn buds is ready 70% after being in the jars for about 2 hours.. That is too wet still.. Just going to burp very frequently (3 or 4 times daily) and using a fan for a few minutes to help pull that moisture out and let her go right back into curing.. That's the best way I can get it to not smell like hay.. So far so good.. Still smells pretty dank. Some of the nugs are so linky it reminds me of Dr. Grinspoon's from Barney's Farm.. The calyxs are just spaced apart by stem.. Still looks pretty and smells great.. And smokes even better!.. Will update as I go... After about 24 hours in the jars.. The hygrometers are reading 70% - 75% so I left them out overnight to dry out a bit more.. Just put them back into the jars and will check on them when I get home from work tonight.. I'd much rather not dry enough.. Than over dry ANY DAY.. ifit was overdried, it would smell like hay.. But it still smells dank asf.. Plus.. This is just technically giving more time to dry before the cure.. I read that this is considered the "pre-cure phase"... Wish I would have read that before my last 3 - 4 harvests.. But I have learned it now.. So no more excuses for fuckin it up anymore lol.. https://www.cannabisprogrower.com/curing-cannabis/ That is the link to the way that I have started curing.. It seems to be working pretty well. This has details that I could not find anywhere else and basically had to try and figure out on my own... Then I came across this page.. This is the perfect method for curing in my opinion.. Works great for me! Its been in the jars for 6 days.. I now have the hygrometers reading 61% - 63%... According to that website.. I should stop burping daily.. That makes me a little nervous.. I will atleast open each jar daily to get a wiff of them lol.. They smell pretty good.. Not the best I've smelled.. But atleast I know I'm doing it right this time.. Geez.. The drying and curing is the most detailed part of growing.. My first time i thought you just dry it and throw it into the jars.. No matter how long or short of time it took lol.. My first grow was reading 49% after 3 days of drying.. With a fan!.. So glad I got it figured out finally! Made some Bubble Hash with the trim.. Havent weighed it.. But judging by the size (plus I used to be addicted to black tar heroin) it looks like it could be just about 2 grams.. I'll weigh it later.. Still haven't smoked any of it. I only used the 220 micron and 25 micron bags.. 220 to remove all the leafy substance and the 25 to catch all the trichomes.. Usually my bubble hash turns out very dry and breaks apart.. This stuff is super gooey.. Even after drying for 4 days.. Hmm... Smells amazing.. Wish I could smoke it.. I wonder if I could make capsules of this stuff.. And just take it like vitamins.. Lol.. If anybody has tried that or knows anything about it, comment please.. I'm curious A little after 2 weeks of curing.. The buds smell and taste pretty dank! I feel like I got the curing and drying down.. Yessss!

Posting this as I’m on the last few days of the 3rd week from germination Great progress, a lot of roots for such a short period but not too much plant growth, will start watering daily instead of watering every 2-3 days Topped the girls today (Day 18 from germ) and starting to do mainline on all the Bubba kush.

Fungus gnats were in full effect here due to the Down-to-Earth potting mix. That stuff doesn't drain worth a damn! I had just sprayed the plants with neem oil and soap in this video... and needless to say that didn't turn out well (more to follow) In other news, the French Macaron roots were growing like crazy at this point.

Week 7 Progress & First Bloom Feed! (May 9th - May 18th) Welcome back, dudes! Things are progressing well in the grow tent. These pictures cover the period from May 9th to May 18th, showing steady growth and the start of flowering for some. I've made a key change to the feeding regimen: I've added GHF Bio Bloom to both the White Widow and the Banana Blazes, at a rate of 3 grams per liter of soil. This is to support their transition into the flowering stage and help them develop those sweet buds. Here’s the breakdown of how things are looking: White Widow XXL Auto (Barney's Farm): The White Widow continues to thrive. Her LST has really opened up the canopy, and you can see plenty of new bud sites developing. She's stretching nicely as she enters her flowering phase. Auto Banana Blaze (Dutch Passion) - First One: The first Banana Blaze is also showing good progress and is responding well to the added Bio Bloom. The earlier yellowish spots haven't worsened, and overall she's putting on solid growth. The Younger Ones (Second Auto Banana Blaze & Auto Kong 4): These two are steadily growing and stacking up their nodes. They're still a bit behind the older plants, but healthy and establishing well. Overall, the tent is bustling with activity, and it's exciting to see the first signs of proper bud formation. The new Bio Bloom addition should give them all the fuel they need for the upcoming flowering stretch. Stay tuned for more updates as these ladies continue to fill out and frost up!
