So, with these interesting times and what is becoming a fast evolving global catastrophe. I, myself, along with the rest of you ( I hope ) can take some solace in looking after our gardens, to have some peace away from the news, to give our ladies the best care we are able to provide 🌱 If you ever needed any vindication or validation as to why growing your own is best. More than half the world currently in lockdown, and with MJ in short supply, our actions speak for themselves! Anyway, back to this diary. I done a lot of work on the room, invested a lot and tried to make everything as automated as possible. Everything runs on smart plugs, the hydroponic system is DIY and is RDWC which is cooled with a Hailea 150a. 6 plants is what I am going for this time, with a shorter veg length compared to the last grow. I prefer to wait until they show their sex, but if they don’t by week 5, I plan on flipping anyway all being well. I am using 730nm LED’s that come on 15 mins before lights on, turn off during lights on, and then they come back on when lights go out, and stay on for 15 mins. This should enable me to run 13/11 during flower with little risk. I am also going to add a UVB fixture to my custom rig which will only be used during the final 2 weeks of flower. I have 3 Alibaba lights attached to a custom rig, they really are awesome lights. I tested the room out with an Apogee SQ-520 par meter (PAR map in pics). I have dimmed them down, so PAR is around 500 across the whole canopy, this will be increased to 1000 once they’re flipped. I vent from my house, to the room and then outside, this increases the CO2 in the room, which I think helped the yields on the last grow, generally CO2 hovers between 470 and 700 PPM. My ladies look a little sick, but tbh, I struggle starting out in Rockwool, and things usually correct themselves within a couple weeks. With the quarantine I have struggled to pick up a humidifier that is capable of maintaining that room, so it has been all over the place since the start. I have opted to go with Royal Gorilla this cycle, let’s see if it’s as potent as RQS says that it is! Good luck all and take care...

So she’s a week into flush with only about 10% amber trichomes so has a few more days yet. The bud size isn’t moving but the density of the buds has definitely increased. Let me know what you think. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

SUNDAY 5/19: I accidentally left my UV timer in the "ON" position all night and half of the next day...fearing sudden death, I have moved everybody that was almost ready into the dark tent, including the biggest Candy Cane and will start harvesting them tomorrow..maximum UVB stress for about 20 hours...if it works out that they are even more potent than expected without turning brown overnight, I'll claim it was "intentional," and purport it as an "advanced technique" 😉 MONDAY: The big one still looks fine after the mega-UVB incident , so she's still sitting in the dark. She I flipped on the green light and went into the tent for a sniff test on everybody. She's got that familiar, wonderful stank on her! 😁 TUESDAY: I harvested the big one today and hung her up to dry in the dark tent. RH is steady at 55% and temp is 78-80f. I decided to start flushing everybody else today, so I put a few gallons through each of them with sledgehammer and bembe. I'll flush them once more after they've dried out. The temps in the big tent are now steady at 82f during daylight hours and 68-70f at night. I changed the lights in the big tent to 20/4 for their last bit of life and added some blue panels to further "winterize" the environment. They are still being hammered by the UVB for 6 hours a day. WEDNESDAY: I took a few photos and harvested some other plants today... THURSDAY: CC#7, the big one, was drying too quickly, so I jarred her in a big jar for the day to slow it down a bit. I'll put her back in the basket tomorrow for another day or so. I also decreased airflow a bit and turned my dehumidifier up to 50%. FRIDAY: I put the big one back in the drying basket in the tent. She had moistened back up really well. Last flush tomorrow on the others. Checked trichs and am seeing up to 25% amber on some of the buds..30-40% should be about right for some truly delicious and crippling smoke. SATURDAY: I took some photos while putting a few gallons of ph adjusted spring water through them today..I'll prolly put them into the dark on Tuesday and kill them on Thursday. Their foliage is burnt up pretty bad due to the massive UVB over-exposure, so I'll have some extra work with the trimming... 😏

7/10/2025 17:15 Final visit to the spot,it's so cold outside with all days under 20°C and some nights 4/5°C This plant alone smelled so much and keep pushing but mold is attacking her and it's the fucking 7th of november so i'm going to chop now Trichomes are mostly white so it's ok even with a very low percentage of amber The smell Is awesome very runtzy and fresh,not fully mature as the other but i saved her from a bad end I found some mold on only a few top flowers,checked It properly and throw away without carrying at home with the others Even if the mold part was very small especially compared to the other Coco i decided to take away all the moldy buds entirely,i don't t want to risk anymore Before the final video session i took away all the fan leaves because i had not enough space to transport At the end you can see a dead bud which Is clear when i tried to take a leaf and It pulled of so easy,inside is brown too During next days i will update with the final thoughts and the final dry weight of both plants Thanks to everyone who supports me and liked my job,next year i swear everything will be better prepared

The grow went great except for the males in the bunch (buying fem next time). Grew incredibly fast during veg which was hard to keep up with if I didn't manage every day. Very leafy and responded well to LST and topping. Fim didn't seem to give as good of a response as topping did. Had a accidental top of about 2 or 3 nodes and every branch underneath just about exploded. I kept the nutes in check (800ish) included with a 6/2 light cycle during veg. The 2 hour night cycles really gave them a chance to recover so my leaves looked pristine the entire grow. Flower she stretched more than expected but the last time I grew this strain was my first time and in dirt.... with a low budget light. The Buds are dense and compact so unfortunately there's no forearm size nugs after drying. Still curing but the "sample jar" is already A+ potency and doesn't taste horrible. 4 days of flush, 5 days dry hanging after wet cut, still working on cure +2weeks. The pictures don't do the trichomes justice, just covered.

It's week three of Vegi, and all three Lemon Ladies are developing very nicely. They should be ready to flower in about 14 days. 💚💚💚☀️☀️☀️

Harvest Time!!!

I did not grow these two plants to their potential. Hit with high temps as seedlings and fungus gnats in flower, I decided to harvest them probably 7-9 days too early. Nonetheless, after 4-5 days drying, they've been trimmed and jarred and tested. Smoke is very complex and honestly have never smelled such a strong incense like smoke rolling off the pipe before. Very clear and relaxing so far. Delicious grapey spiced beer flavor. Very white ash. So happy to have a larger lady of this being finished properly right now.

06/13 - Flipped into flower - today will be "DAY 1" of flower (Pre-flower) - I will feed only clean water for about a week to remove any excess veg nuts and salt accumulation - I will introduce flower nutes in about 2 weeks starting with with low dosage flower fuel, phosphate and potassium, as the weeks progress I will add more nutrient components. Feeding program will continue on the Vivosun drip emitter and a Exhale C02 bag will be added to the tent as well. 06/15 - Day 2 of pre-flower so much going on - still just clean water feeds until next week - I would like to bring down with salt build up from the veg feeds and as well bring down the EC/PPM values just a bit before introducing the flower nutrients - I will be picking up the lights about 4 to 5 inches as it stands the out main colas are only about 4 inches away from the touching the light and I would like to negate li

Semana del 9 al 15 de septiembre 2024. Estas Autos BSF van con todo, muy vigorosas, excepto una blueberry y una Orange Blossom que van un poco lentas.

Retiro las primeras hojas que salieron que se quedaban sin fuerza/luz abajo y se estaban pochando. Avanza lo que parecía sequedad, ahora tiene mas pinta de hongo (mildiu). Corto las 4 hojas afectadas. Amanece reforzada y sin rastro del hongo. Apliqué la solución para curarla a pesar de ver mejoría. Parece que crece bien pero sigue desarrollando una especie de manchas al final de las hojas grandes

I was flushing all the plants since August 9. You can see in the videos with de microscope ( I really try my best, but it was pretty difficult) the trichomes looks cloudy and some of them looks amber. Maybe in the videos you can't see it because my hand was really shaky. August 17: all the plants were in dark. August 18: i cleaned all the plants, buds, leafs, everything..., spraying water to remove the rests of potasic soap. Today august 18, during the nigth, i'm going to harvest all the ladies. In the past 3 days i didn't watering the plants and the smell was stronger. August 19: Before dry -Critical Kush: 150g -Red dwarf: 60g -Syrup (2 plants): 270g -Lemon (4 plants): 570g

Week 8 - Apple Strudel Auto is now in full flower. This one is gonna be Extreme. Been using super low nutes so strain is very reliable for a beginner as long as PH IS correct. My biggest plants yet sure is gonna be huge. Johnny ain’t got shit on these Apples ⛽️🔥🍎

More defoliation later this week, will update photos :) ... bud sites just barely starting to form, I absolutely love this strain, it's not like other Cali Kush I've tried, it hits like an indica, so much so, we use is as a night time herb

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Y nos fuimos a floración!! 🍀👨‍🌾🏻
