Week 2, first grow ever. Not to moist anymore :)

Week 4! Today transplanted the lady’s in a 5 liter pot. The soil that I’m using is made of Light mix bio bizz Warm casting 70/30% of 444 and 284 - 1Tbsp per gallon Rock dust blend -1Tbsp per gallon Oyster shell - 1 Tbsp per gallon A hands full of lupins I sprinkle some myco on the root ball and water them with a simple compost the made of worm casting and molasses brew for 24 hours. I raise the power of the light of 20%

The harvest of my dear Stella was supposed to happen on August 4th, but didn’t begin actually until August 9th. I decided to allow her to dry out a bit before beginning the harvest, but I had some other difficulties which made her dry out a whole lot before I ever even got started. You can tell how dry by looking at the pics and video. Luckily, the dryness was limited to her larger leaves. She was already quite dry on the 9th when I started, and was more so by the 12th when I finished. Even after the advanced drying, her wet trimmed weight was still quite a bit. I’ll list the weights all together in a bit. It took 4 days to get the whole plant trimmed, weighed, and hung up for final drying. She was hung up from August 12th till Friday, August 19th. I got busy harvesting another plant while she was hanging up, and just let her be. On August 19th I took all of her branches down and removed the buds to get the true harvest weight of her buds alone. Let’s get to the weight of the whole thing. The overall wet-trimmed weight of the plant was 18.329 ounces with the buds and branches combined. I was a forgetful idiot and forgot to get the weight of the dry buds on the branches before removing the buds. So all we’re left with is the actual harvest weight of the dry buds alone. The overall dry bud weight, or actual “true” harvest weight of the smokable bud is: 7.317 ounces. That’s a wonderful amount of freshly harvested bud to cure. All of the buds were put into 8 quart sized jars filled roughly 3/4 full, and 1 pint sized jar, also 3/4 full. Each jar has a hygrometer as well as 58% bóveda packs to help aid the curing process. This is the 2nd DarkStar plant I’ve harvested, and both were very large plants. I used a scrog method the first time with a net that spread the whole plant out taking up the entire 4x4 area of the tent. This time I wanted to let her grow more naturally. She got so large that I had to bend almost all of her taller branches over using HST methods. I had to bend 3-5 branches over more than once. By doing that, once her buds began to fatten up she got too heavy and needed to be supported just to stand upright. Toward the end she had to literally be tied up to the side of the tent. Stella (DarkStar) was a wonder to grow, and she gave me a good amount of clones that will soon be harvested themselves. It has been a journey with Stella, and I’m happy that the journey is now complete. Happy growing everyone!

Stretch slowing down, secured the existing net for some support and to help with LST. Stretch has slowed down for sure. budlets beginning to form. Did a heavy top dress of Gaia Green, 13 TBSP Power Bloom to 7 TBSP All Purpose, mixed with a few scoops of compost. When I pulled back the mulch to top dress I snapped a few pics and videos of the soil, wow, SO much life it's incredible, one giant heap of life. I find mixing top dress with compost lets gives the roots something to adhere to, and nothing like increasing that root zone! Kept up with some light defoliation and LST with some bud clips and netting, not much else to do but wait! All the excess trim from defoliation and nearly everything you see in the background will get mulched up and added in the fall for next years crop. Circle of life yo! Had some very very minor Powdery Mildew on some fan leaves after we have some 95% humidity roll through, I had company so skipped a spraying of Lactobacillus, and it showed. If you haven't tried it, it's EASY to make and it works wonders, plants love it as a foliar spray or a root soak, I use molasses to keep it stable, so it's double good for flowering time. This will HAVE to get harvested end of September regardless, that gives me 7 weeks from now, so here's hoping for that FastBuds "Fast Flower" action.

Die Pflanzen sind nun mitten in Blütewoche 3 und zeigen eine sehr stabile Entwicklung. Der Stretch neigt sich dem Ende zu, die Struktur hat sich gefestigt und die ersten deutlichen Blütenansätze sind sichtbar. Die Triebe richten sich gleichmäßig zum Licht aus, das Netz hält die Form optimal und sorgt für eine ausgeglichene Lichtverteilung im gesamten Canopy. Durch die unfreiwillige Umstellung auf ein semi-hydroponisches System läuft das Setup jetzt mit konstanter Wasserzirkulation. Eine Pumpe wurde hinzugefügt, um den Sauerstoffgehalt im Nährmedium zu erhöhen und Stauwasser zu vermeiden. Das System arbeitet zuverlässig, und die Pflanzen profitieren deutlich – die Wurzeln wirken vital, hell und aktiv. Die Düngung wurde auf 6 ml/l Canna Coco A + B angehoben. Die Pflanzen nehmen die Nährstoffe hervorragend auf, ohne Anzeichen von Überdüngung oder Stress. Das Blattwerk bleibt kräftig grün mit leichtem Glanz, und die Blattstruktur ist eng und gesund. Die Blütenbildung schreitet zügig voran – die Budsites sind klar definiert, und die Pflanze zeigt ihr volles Potenzial. Geruch und Harzbildung beginnen sich langsam zu entwickeln, was auf eine starke und gesunde Blütephase hindeutet. Insgesamt präsentieren sich die Pflanzen vital, stabil und perfekt im Flow der frühen Blütephase. Das Semi-Hydro-System liefert konstant Feuchtigkeit und Nährstoffe, während das Netz weiterhin eine gleichmäßige Struktur gewährleistet. Alles läuft optimal für den Übergang in die mittlere Blüte.

Thestretch stopped and now after defoliation i let her go stressless

I’m just happy I’m this far along with these two! Well I’m shocked that one of them is still trying to stretch so late into the grow. Otherwise I’m excited for flowers.

What a run this was, harvested at day 70 of 12/12. Pheno #1 was the iciest from the start and hasn’t disappointed ever since. Amazing and beautifully stacked buds with and insane amount of trichomes! She looks truly amazing, very exotic bud structure too! The smells are out of this world with artificial cherry, cookies and gas terps. Can’t wait for her to be dried and cured for the final smoke test!

ALRIGHTY THEN At this very moment , hint of Grape Crush Soda smells 😛 Which is awsome 56 days into flowering We just hit week 11 and all is well , for the most part , I'm sure I'd be further ahead if it wasn't for the cal/Mag issues early in its development 😃 ....... 👉 Baby Sister Plant #2 Is 9 weeks and coming along great 👈 👉 NutriNPK NUTRIENTS IS USED FOR FEEDINGS 👈 Fresh rain water to be used 👈 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HANGOUT VIA GROWDIARIES AND TALK GROWING AND JUST CHILL AND WHATEVER .....👈 👉I CREATED GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!👈 LINK IS 👉 https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs AND SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT !!!!!!!

Y es el turno de las resionosisimas Lebron Haze. Hermosas plantas, ya te siento cerca tu colocón!

I have had a blast growing this plant inside this LEAF unit. There was very little I had to do in order to have so much plant. I cannot wait to add another diary with some more grows. The smell of the plant is incredible and will only get better. The smoke is gentle, and it actually leaves a Minty feeling in your mouth, this was surprising but really cool given the name of the plant. I will start my next grow in November, be on the lookout for that journal. Final Dry bud weight 443g!

Still going strong, only been giving her water straight from the hose

Hi everyone I chop her down day 86 and let her dry in 19° temp and RH 65 % I'm going to slow drying for best results 7 to 8 days She is very dense and sticky bud and so heavy too I think she yield over 150g plus but the bud are not 100% purple its mix with light purple and green ass you can see in pic or video but still I'm very very happy and already germinate another purple lemonade 💜 next week I will update smoke reviews and final dry weight 😀

Initial germination july1st

Drying ended after 12 days. Trimming took around 1 1/2 hours and was really easy. No real small or larfy buds to speak of. I'm surprised how well it did considering how high the humidity was in flower it is a very resilient plant. Smoked pretty well off the bat, but needs just a little time to smoke the best. After curing for a month is super smooth and makes fore a very nice dubes. its almost gone! My friend loved it.

I'm a little late on the update, super busy. Everything is still looking good. I took 2 of the smallest clones down as a sample. Other than slightly harsh due to quick dry is was good for early. Definitely looking forward to full maturity!!! I figure they have another week and they're done. I can smell the wine and the trim already 😁❤️😁 Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️
