Week 11 for 9lb Hammer F2, Still on my list of least favourites in my garden 😂 They probably get the least attention in the garden too, they both got quite burnt from the sun this week compared to the rest, so not too heat resistant that's for sure. 😐

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!! Hugs Bud!!! PS. Should you be interested in Shamanism or Teacherplants by anything I mentioned.

Final update: Very happy to announce that this dairy had won the sixth place best diary of August 2021. My prize came in yesterday and I'm very happy!! Thank you Growdiaries!! Thank you Fastbuds!!! Thank you all my grow buddies here for the love and support!! Hope to see you all, maybe at a future Growdiaries Meet and Greet? Wouldn't that be a lovely idea, per country and a yearly one on a different continent every year? The Growdiaries Conference. Would be a great Hemp growers fair... I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds

Week 10 for Wockesha she is finally at her end. All phenos look beautiful with different tones of purple through out the bud. All the Pheno had dense buds. Some phenos had better frost factor and some had better weight factor. Will do a whole plant hang dry for 2-3 weeks and then to a jar cure!

Day 22: Honestly didn't think I would have made it this far. The girls are looking great minus a couple of issues. I have over watered them and over fed too! Not to mention trying to LST too early. I will wait a bit longer before watering this time. Day 23: MORNING - They were super dry. I have been over watering a bit so I watered maybe 1/2 gallon for all 6. I also did some more LST and took 1 large fan leaf off of each plant. I will update again before lights out. Day 23: NIGHT - The girls are responding very well to the LST. I don't think they are liking the 80°. I am starting to have issues with lower humidity again. I need to try and figure some sort of ducting out or possibly even get a small AC unit for the grow room. Day 24: MORNING - I removed a couple more leaves that were covering potential bud sites. I have also done a partial main-line on the smallest girl. It looks to be already showing pistols. I've had to open the tent with a big fan blowing directly in with the humidifier behind it. The girls were getting hot and dry. Day 24: NIGHT - Well 5 are showing to be female. The biggest plant is showing no signs of sex. I am guessing it will be the mystery seed. I will be doing no more LST to these ladies for at least a week or better. I think I have stressed them out enough the past 2 days. Day 25: These girls are very resilient!! I tortured them all weekend and the one I nopped off to do a sort of mainline grew by 20% at least. Day 26: It is the official 3 week mark today and the girls are starting to flower. I tied em down to get light to all bud sights. I will 100% not touch them unless they need it from this point!!!! They are soo small and I need not stunt them any more!! I have removed the Mystery Seed as it looks to be a male and I do not want to take the chance!! Also fed and watered today. Only 200 ppm for the feed. Day 27: Nothing new to report. These girls are gonna be tiny :| I must've stressed em too much too soon :( Looking good though I think! 💪 Day 28: I never do what I say. Dumb! Broke main stem on one of the best plants. Taking it as a lessons learned. It's been two hours and she looks SICK! Oh well.

I put my seeds germinated 3 days ago and everything went well, last night I transplanted them and small thumbs are already appearing. one plant still dont separate from the seed, I hope it doesn't affect the plant's growth and that it falls as quickly as possible..

Took out second Gator Breath plant which is even more incredible in terms of crystallization smell and buds size then previously cutted same strain plants. For the Total eclipse i am completely disappointed on the results: The plant may look quite potent but in real yu simply have no buds after trimming, tons of small leaver but no good material. I knew this was sativa hybrid but still.. You can see the comparing of two strains on the photos down here...Maybe I did something wrong during the growing, gonne ask expert-brothers on forum later.

The Banana Purple Punch is looking fantastic as it enters its 7th week of flowering! After checking the trichomes, it’s clear this plant needed a bit more time to mature compared to others, but the wait has been worth it.🌱 This week, I’ve started flushing to prepare for harvest. If all goes as planned, it’ll be ready to cut and hang by the week after next. The buds are looking dense and frosty, and I’m excited to see the final result!😊 So far, everything is progressing beautifully, and I’m really happy with how this plant is finishing up.

A mold infestation has appeared. The humidity has been 70% for the last 2 weeks. The weather has been disappointing for the umpteenth time. It's hard to get a harvest in the summer without an air conditioner) I was 2 weeks short of harvest. Today I trimmed the foliage, which I usually don't do at this time before harvest. I'm unlikely to reach the finish line; the weather forecast is rain.

Hey Friends, end of week 13 from seed. This week i noticed colas are slightly getting thicker, but still a slower growth compared to my other plant (#2) I had to install some yoyos because some colas are falling to the side due to its weight Had trouble maintaining a steady humidity level Leaves are beginning to fade, not sure if its normal or because I increased light intensity this week Increased light intensity to 350 - 400 lux x100 Colas for some reason do not look thick enough and so far no amber on the trichomes, might need to wait Another week or two so I could begin flushing. Smell is stronger like green lemon mango, that weird smell it use to have is slowly going away. QUESTIONS So I planned a trip with my family on oct 9th, when booking the trip around 3 weeks ago I estimated that the plant would need another month before harvesting. Will this plant be ready for harvest before oct 9th? When should I begin Flushing ?

Que hay familia, yo aquí entre humos actualizo las misty gorilla auto, seamos sinceros, yo estoy algo decepcionado con el tamaño de la flor, no con el ejemplar ni la calidad solo la cantidad, y es que ahora pienso yo, las autos realmente merece la pena a sabiendo que si ciclo es parecido al de una feminizadas? 4 semanas crecimiento 8/9 floración? No no merecen la pena seamos realistas si queremos cultivar en interior lo mejor que podemos hacer es comprar semillas feminizadas y asegurar tu cultivo. Y dejar solo las autos para gente que no se puede permitir un indoor y tenga que cultivarlo en terraza y así cultivar todo el año . Ph regulado ya quite alimentación y limpie raíces, las e sacado a la terraza, desmontó Indoor me mudo y ampliamos zona de comfort. Hasta aquí es todo gente un saludo y muy buenos humos 💨💨💨

Fast schon ende der 4. Woche aber jetzt erstmal Woche 3 eintragen. EC ca. auf 1.1 Am Anfang der Woche 3 in 19 l fabric pot umgetopft. Ab Dienstag 4 Tage unterwegs daher die Schläuche für Blumat...hat ganz gut funktioniert mit Umwälzpumpe im Tank plus dass "Jemand" täglich PH korrigiert hat. Video ist ca. 19.10. bis 26.10. plus bissl vom 27.10 Schon mal vorab... Samstag bis Mittwoch (Woche 4) auch unterwegs...nur das es "Jemand" nicht gab und Blumat auch noch verstopfte...Pflanze hat gelitten aber Spoiler muss sein...die Frau mit dem fetten A.... wurde geretet. Aptus schein für Blumat ungeeignet zu sein...mit TA gabs weniger Probleme bei einem älteren grow...Aptus bleibt aber zunächst mein Favorit.

Auto Maxi Gom is doing well. She has produced her first pistils, and is transitioning into flowering. She should start stretching very soon. It's my first grow with Xpert Nutrients. So I am curious to see what happens. I had to back off on there amounts suggested. It was too strong. Nothing wrong with concentrated, it goes further once you figure it out. Everything is going well. Nothing else much to report. Thank you Medic Grow, Xpert Nutrients, and Seeds Mafia. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
