Feb 19th,
- week 9 of flower sees a lot of subtle changes going on. The smell at the door is one, and it’s becoming a very dense and dark odour. Fruit-like up close.
- Molasses doubled as root boosters get removed and Calimg has only 1 feed left, tonight.
- Mar 1 is the tentative flush, first day of week 11 in flower.
Those will be a long couple of weeks, feeding h20 & sugar only
- noticing the stems of Fan leaves are turning Red/Crimson on L plant. A few are in the R as well.
** question asked about Red Stems **
23rd
- noticing a definite increase in the Trichomes of the Buds, under the UVB (pics tonight).
There are simply more now and it’s kinda obvious when side by side. Lite spill from uvb is falling on the left plant as well, but not from 14”
- feed tonite will include a bit of CaliMag once again moving forward and a lingering taste of Medi-One.
- Trichomes were checked today. As happy as I was to see a few Amber ones. They were very wide-spread with most of the others still 50/50 clear and cloudy.
- Based on todays Trichome check; hoping to flush ~ Mar 7 now. That will be the end of 11 complete weeks of Flower. FYI: Breeders expectation "11-12” weeks. Happy to see it linger a bit, diet, humidity and lighting changes have been incremental throughout. How quickly the next changes happen ie: clear to cloudy etc., I have no idea.
Would love to see ~ 10% Amber, just enough to say it’s Very ripe. ( Not in any way thinking of couch-lock lol )
- literature & product labels on Humic Acid recommend usage throughout Veg & Flower... just Not the last 3 weeks. That rules this batch out... So the next batch(s) get introduced.
- Macro shots tonight of the Buds under the UVB... cannot wait.
** found 1 bud on the R plant, that had quite a bit of Amber showing. Nowhere to be seen in the L plant, but it looks like a high concentration of Cloudy Trichomes on the L regardless.
One more serious search tonight of the R plant and it may just be time for a rinse.
Surprised to see so many Ambers, alone on this one bud.
Pics uploaded ! re: 24th a.m.
Feb24th,
- when the lights came on this evening, I did another thorough check on both plants and there were more Amber trichomes found. Ready or not, both plants were Thoroughly flushed.
- Flush aid used in the process.
- 10 Litres of Water was mixed with Molasses / Rezin as the first liquids poured into the plants, after the Flush...
- when it came right down to it, the sudden appearance and then rapid spreading of the Amber Trichomes made it an easy call, to flush both plants.
Thoughts on the amount of white hairs left... they have a couple weeks to get their shit together... if I can get a couple weeks of flushing-in, that’s a definite bonus.
25th
- humidity spike in the Tent. doors are cracked and a floor fan has been added for extra air flow. Exhaust fan increased...
26th, no liquid to remove from the plants btm Trays, but still showing a high humidity. R.H. coming down slowly, aimed the fans at the fabric pots... doors cracked etc.
* why mess around, hooked up the dehumidifier... R.H. dropping, end of issue

Week 10: Mold Warfare & Rainy Woes
Update: 28.07.2025 | Day 79
Tough news first: Constant rain, humidity never drops below 60% - full-blown mold weather. Yesterday spotted first mold outbreaks. Cut immediately: 1 budsite on Forbidden Runtz, 2 on Green Crack. Damage contained for now thanks to eagle-eyed inspection. Daily mold patrols intensified.
Strain Status in the Rain:
Forbidden Runtz
- Foxtailing worsens (humidity culprit?)
- Trichomes mostly cloudy - 1 week to harvest target
- Considering partial harvest: Biggest buds first, smaller ones risk mold
- Beautiful purple hues emerging (ironically makes mold spotting harder)
- Smell remains fantastic
Green Crack
- Fully sugarcoated but mold hit her hardest
- Yield estimate: ~50g if no more mold
- Trichomes: Cloudy but zero amber - needs 7+ days
- Critical need: Airflow around thickest buds
Bruce Banner
- No mold yet (thank you sativa genes!)
- Buds still swelling daily - stay vigilant
- Resin production finally ramping up
- Pistils showing vibrant colors
- Mild aroma developing
- Timeline: Minimum 2 more weeks
Survival Protocol:
- Daily inspections: Flashlight checks inside every bud
- Immediate surgery: Sterilized scissors ready 24/7
- Yellow leaf purge: Remove wilted leaves instantly (mold incubators)
Hoping your skies are sunnier than ours, Catch y'all next week.

Not much going on yet. Added some 3d printed supports to make sure they don't start flopping over. Not sure if it's the strain, or my idiocy, but these bastards are soooo leggy. Grr. Watering daily to 15% runoff with MegaCrop 2 part in RO at 0.6EC and 5.6pH. Found Mega Crop gives very stable pH on the right range without any pH up or down needed. Took one day off (3/18) watering to water with Silica Boost at 6ml/gal concentration pHed to 5.4. PPFD 300 at canopy for DLI of 20. PPFD was about 20 for first week while I was prepping and sanitizing the grow room, which might explain the leggyness. If they don't look better after topping, I might pull them and try a different strain.
3/20 - this grow is inspired by the techniques of Bruce Bugbee (PPFD, nutrition, EC monitoring, substrate, environment, etc) and the concept of VPD control, both of which served me very well in the past. The grow room has dual PID controls in my PLC regulating the temperature and humidity to lock in the VPD based on plant age. In later veg and flower, I had CO2 injection on a PID, but that ultimately failed because I couldn't get the humidity down as it got huge. Had too many vent cycles. This year, hope to source or kludge an in-line dehumidifier so I can keep the sealed chamber where it needs to be without wasting CO2.
3/22 no more vertical growth, thank god, leaves and roots are slowly catching up. Patience. EC to 0.7

Aggressive LST was applied for even light coverage.
Smaller-Lagging budsites and bigger fan leaves under net have been removed.
Slight increase in nutrient feeds, thus far 0 signals of deficiencies.
*Mid week update - 09/13*
Both plants have grown approximately 6 inches in height
Early flowering continuing to progress accordingly
Half a gallon increase in water feed (Nutes included)
*End of week recap 09/16*
Mimosa Cake (Auto) - Both in week flowering accordingly
Small increase on nute feeds - Moderate increase in filtered plain water feed (1.5 gallons )

week intel:
its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first
because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days
stresses :
flushing
Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week
feeding:
day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph
day 3 : no more feeding from now on
day 5 : no more feeding from now on
guide of the week :
i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave.
indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner.
my dry and cure style is this:
3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month.
im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Growing this purple was easy Going most of the way, Only drawback was she grew so big it was hard anchoring her down in the basket from the tilts, but once she was down she put on a show. Her heavy Buds were thick, hard oozing resin was potent and sticky I quickly scooped up some falling Trichomes from beneath my tray Loaded my chamber 220c and 8hrs later I finished my day.Probably could have taken half that time had i not loaded that first bowl then the next....... 😎 Just a tad over 12 Oz on my quest to hit 1 pound per plant. Some exciting Donated Seeds Coming My way. Stay Tuned Find out who they are and What I'm growing next, Going to be some exciting shit. Thanks for following😍

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.

Day 71. Biggest by size, but maybe not by overall weight of harvest ;)))) she is most hungry and lost foliage...
This girl definetly makes me regret, that i didn't use any nutes ...
Smell is weakish, worst from all 3 .
Mars TS1000 did a great job to her during veg, but now she spends time under my quantum board.
Took most damaged leaves away.
3.5 liters of water goes in.
Day 76. 3.5 liters in. Lower part is far from maturity, she needs like 3 weeks still i think. Getting some funky colours ...
Happy Growing !!!

Hello. Got the plants into the main grow room.
There is 2 videos . In the first I just sit in the room quitly and turn the camera. you get a sense :) of what it's like in there. In the second I try to describe what's in the room, equipment and maybe a new technique. With the tomato cages I use, and needing the plant to slow down, I twist the stock into a large figure 8. Eventually I take off what is on the lower part of the 8, and just work the top of the 8.
About 2 weeks in veg in this room. Then I take clones of everything before I switch to flower.
>Carbon dioxide enhancement: I had to make that choice 20 years ago. I could, rent a tank and have my name on a list, at the gas store. Or make my own. They didn't have the small propane tanks like they do today for the blue flame you get when you burn it. I decided on a kerosene lamp burning down as low as it could be without going out. It makes a half blue and half yellow flame. I vent constantly so the small amount of carbon monoxide is not a problem. For the first week you can smell it a bit, but the smell disappears after that. I light the lamp in the morning and put it out at lights out (unless it's bed time). It needs to be put in a place in the room that cant get knocked over (pets, children, ?). I try to use extra attention whenever I use it. It can burn down the place. Be careful Please.
>About 17 years ago I thought I'd lower my table by knocking a hole in the cement and dropping my 10 gallon reservoir more. I was able to lower it by 16 inches. Still have to watch the height of some plants though, it worked out well. Watch the video.
> Air cleaner: The reason I got a big 8 inch exhaust fan was, I had a bout of powder mildew and needed better a exhaust system. When I plugged it in there was too much air moving. I phoned and asked and the salesman said that a dimmer switch wasn't a good idea. I put one on anyway. Works great. I have the fan barely on in the winter and about half way on in the middle of the summer. I haven't had any powdery mildew since. About 12 years ago I bought a good air cleaner. An ORECK, It has electrified plates that zap any organic particle or spore that come between the plates. Use to grow a Northern Lights that got 6 to 8 ounces per harvest, it grew big buds. Buds as big as my forearm. I had problems with gray mold attaching the buds. But none since I bought the air cleaner. Ya learn as you go.

🍀21/07 - Ya se encuentra en etapa de secado.
🍀En el lavado de raíz le agregue 30L de agua con 10ml de Top Wash, las ultimas lavadas ya el agua de la maceta salia transparente.
🍀A la hora de cortarla largaba mucho olor a dulce, los cocos todos llenos de resina y muy pegajosos.
🍀La gran mayoría de los cogollos son grandes y densos, muy poca cantidad de cocos chicos.
🍀Es una planta espectacular, no tuve ningún problema en toda su etapa, creció perfecta.
🍀La voy a dejar los días necesarios para que pueda secarse, ya compre sobres de humedad para el próximo paso que seria el curado.
🍀Dio un total de 165g, en un indoor de 60x60 y con luz led de 150w.
🍀En estos días seguiré subiendo mas imágenes de como viene.

It is looks like a harvest time is close- I would a assume in a week or two.
The buds are so heavy, if not supporting them, they will break
End of week 13- looks like lady is almost ready. Will start to flash for a week and then harvest
