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 โ‚ฌ 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!!

Significant drop in local temps this week 6 of flower. A cold stream hit the area bringing outdoor temps to below 60 F daytime and low 30's F at night. Had to bust out the portable heater, which when adjusted kept 12 hr dark indoor tent temps at about 65 F. I brought the humidity from 55% down to 50%, which has been fairly easy to maintain. No nutrient regimen or training at this point: Super soil with top dressings prior to flipping 12/12 and at week 4 of flower. Defoliation prior to 12/12 flip and end of week four flower. Heavy lifting is over now, so maintaining health is priority #1. I'm using 7 gallon fabrics, so watering is basically once a week (from below and above) to full saturation. It's not quite a full dry-back when it gets hit with another watering. Pheno #2 doesn't particularly enjoy the watering regimen as much as #1 and #3. Going to allow a day or two more of dry back to see if #2 responds better. I believe the other two will not be adversely affected, but will monitor closely. Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Comments always welcomed.

High Growmies, die BPP hat in der Woche nochmal ordentlich an Masse und Harz zugenommen! Auch die Terpene kommen jetzt voll zur Geltung. Habe mit meinem neuen Smartphone Mikroskop 300x die Trichomen gecheckt und festgestellt dass fast alle Milichig geworden sind auch vereinzelt Bernsteine aber noch hier und da durchsichtige. Da ihr Durst noch nicht abgenommen hat werde ich ihr noch eine Woche mehr geben um die Trichomen Reifen zu lassen und Festigkeit zu steigern.

Day 35: The Fruity girls has been packing on the pistils this week and also oozing sticky if I touch her( wishful thinking on my amazing techniques.!.lol) . She is very manageable at this size and without the Lst and supercropping, she would have already outgrown my space I think. My lights are at near max height above her now and I think when space under the Mars sp250 is available after the FFT girls harvest , I will get her under there to get even more light into her growing lowers for the extra month I expect her to go . Her genetics from the Bg41 seem dominant and being an 11 week strain to get the best from them, this could be an advantage. I dont doubt this new strain could go big at all. seeing how quickly she took over in size from the majority of the strains in this run had given me a great boost as she is the only one of her kind in the world !!!!!. lol . A very nice feeling and u understandable how @club riot has moved into his own production. She has no signs of any issues at all and I have now moved the dehumidifier back I to the room to push the rh down and make them sweaty with oil hopefully. Her smell is a nice sweet , sickly weed aroma at the moment but knowing both parents , she can only give me a bowl full of fruit and fizzy ice cream come cure time. So that's all there is to ramble on about this week , I hope everyone is safe and well during these controlling times. Freedom will come soon. hold the faith.

420 Fastbuds FBT2304 Week 7 Hello growmies, I hope everyone's having a good weekend. Week 7 update for these two. One is definitely taller than the other but overall structure seems to be pretty close. Colors are good and starting to smell. Still keeping up the same feeding schedule of notes every 3rd water and just ph'd water and calmag for the other 2. Seems to be working great. All in all Happy Growing

End of week 6 for this lady. Great week for Orange Sherbet FF she is bouncing back really good from the issues she had in earlier weeks. She still developing slow. The leaves looks really good and healthy. I did a good defoliation to the botton so she can receive more light. For week 7 she only is going to receive water and cal-mag so she can continue with the recovering.

NOTES: Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can. The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil. Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants. After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting. Day64 (19.12.) Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average. Day65 (20.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process. Day66 (21.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer. Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would. Day67 (22.12.) Day68 (23.12.) Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before. One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back. Happy holidays everyone! Day69 (24.12.) Day70 (25.12.) I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

Hung up my new California Lightworks UVB supplement light. I think I originally hung it a bit too close (18 inches from canopy) based on the subtle color change in the leaves, so I raised it up to 24" above the canopy. I was most certainly skeptical, since this is my first time using UVB, but even over the course of its first week under the bulbs I've notice a VERY visible increase in trichomes. Every one of this plant's buds is COVERED in trichomes! It looks like someone sprinkled sugar all over the damn place!

Day 65 27 December 2023 As the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, a group of friends gathered to celebrate in a cozy cabin nestled in the snowy mountains. Instead of the usual champagne, they decided to ring in the new year with a different kind of togethernessโ€”surrounded by the calming presence of cannabis. They named themselves the "High Horizon Crew" and transformed the cabin into a haven of relaxation. A warm fireplace crackled, and the aroma of various cannabis strains filled the air. The friends shared stories from the past year, reflecting on highs and lows while passing around joints and sharing edibles. As the night unfolded, they set intentions for the coming year, not with traditional resolutions, but with a shared commitment to personal growth and well-being. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, deep conversations, and a sense of camaraderie that transcended the typical New Year's festivities. As the clock approached midnight, the friends gathered outside, passing a joint as they watched fireworks light up the winter sky. With each puff, they let go of the challenges of the past and welcomed the possibilities of the future. The High Horizon Crew embraced the new year with open hearts and a shared belief that, together, they could face whatever came their way. And so, under the stars and the influence of cannabis, they welcomed the dawn of a new year with a sense of unity, peace, and the promise of positive growth. Happy New Years ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ† Heya๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฑ
