day 42 images are in last week, I can not count XD. bridal is stacking a lot of weight and is constantly shifting/leaning every morning, good things. I would chop any day but I will wait it out. water, tiny bit of humic and folvic to reduce chloromine, chlorine- air stones day 45 took a few nugs off on day 42, dried for 3 days. Tried bridal and blackberry. As a heavy recreational, thc is up there! bridal felt like having a blindfold over your eyes somewhat sativa uplift but heavy weight feelings. Very good. Lasted as good as 30%'s. Dr. Thunder was also very nice, nug was smaller so mixed with blackberry to have a small j. Also feels very good indica. Both trials were chopped on week 6 day 1. Very pleased with the results. I was worried bridal was more sativa; which charasteristica I am not looking for. So I believe this is a very good heavy hitter run with 4 plants. I can chop any day, but I am waiting for pink paradise to finish seeds. day45 took top nugs from bridal party, blackberry oreo bigstuff and dr. thunder. No touching pink paradise!! day 46 can chop anytime just waiting on pink paradise seeds to finish, bridal party leaning more day 47 bridal leaning hard from weight. day 48 stacking, day 48 video

25.9. Vor ein Paar Tagen hat die Pflanze trotz Dünger begonnen, Farbe zu verlieren. Das bedeutet für mich das wir aufs Ende zugehen. Seit drei Tagen bekommt sie nur Wasser, doch die Verfärbungen sind schon klar zu sehen. Die Stempel bewegen sich in die richtige Richtung, was deren Farbe betrifft. Da der Indica Anteil hier scheinbar höher ist, gehe ich von maximal 9 Wochen Blüte aus. Das heißt, ab heute zwei Wochen. Update 30.9. Die Blüten gehen von der Form in eine gute Richtung. Die Trichome sind sehr weit. Wird auf jeden Fall ne knusprige Angelegenheit. Mein goldenes Stück 💩

This plant was the one that suffered the most with the nutrient lockout and the buds seem to be smaller than all the others I'm guessing because the excess nitrogen stunt those buds from growing any bigger. Either way the plant is so tall that is bound to give lots of buds regardless. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Welcome to week 3F of growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition. The ladies are looking happy and healthy. Do-si-dos received a heavy defoliation, there were a ton of small inner branches starved for light, so they got cut. LSD, Green Crack and Mandarin dreams all received a light defo, yellowing leaves were removed. Lighting provided by Mars-Hydro TSW2000. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week growfessors for the next episode 👽🌳💚

This girl took very well to LST and defoliating. Didn’t notice any sort of stunting from the defoliating, she chugged on as if nothing happened to her.

The sour stomper appears to like her new lighting. She gets a little fatter everyday and I have now begun a flushing cycle. Going to let this girl grow as long she wants. I want to see those hairs recede.

As the plant enters the fifth week of flowering, the first trichomes have begun to form. The buds have started to thicken considerably during this week. They are becoming denser and more robust, which indicates that the plant is channeling its energy into producing larger, more resinous flowers. Throughout the growth process, the cannabis plant has shown no signs of health issues. It has remained vigorous and resilient, with no observable deficiencies or diseases. To ensure optimal light penetration and airflow, the plant was lightly defoliated this week. The cannabis plant is progressing well in its fifth week of flowering. The formation of trichomes, the thickening of buds, and the plant's overall health are all promising indicators of a successful flowering phase.

🌿 BHO EXTRACTION & CURING DIARY — INTRODUCTION Welcome, my friends — growers, learners, supporters, skeptics, and the simply curious. 💚 This space is dedicated to one thing only: honest documentation. This diary is a living journal focused specifically on BHO extraction, purging, curing, and cold curing, documented over time, across multiple batches and extraction runs, using a consistent method and philosophy. Here, I will be sharing: • different BHO extraction runs • different batches and materials • different curing timelines • different cold cure expressions • and how time, temperature, and patience shape the final medicine Each entry you see here may come from a different extraction run, but all are made using: • the same extraction method • the same safety standards • the same respect for the plant • and the same refusal to rush the process This diary is not about hype. It’s not about chasing trends or textures. It’s about understanding. ⸻ WHAT THIS DIARY IS (AND IS NOT) This diary is: • educational • transparent • process-focused • built slowly over time This diary is not: • a tutorial for beginners • a shortcut guide • a recommendation for unsafe practices Everything shared here is for educational and documentation purposes only, aimed at helping people understand why different BHO textures exist, how curing affects stability, and what patience actually does to medicine. ⸻ ❄️ WHY EXTRACTION & CURING ARE DOCUMENTED TOGETHER Extraction does not end when the solvent leaves. Purging, curing, and cold curing are extensions of the extraction itself. The final expression — waxy, crumble, sap, full-melt — is written by time, not by force. That’s why this diary will continue to evolve: • new extractions will be added • new curing timelines will be documented • new textures will appear • and comparisons will be made honestly and clearly Nothing is hidden. Nothing is rushed. ⸻ 🌱 HOW TO READ THIS DIARY Each sample or entry represents: • one extraction run • one curing path • one moment in time Some entries may look similar. Some may look completely different. That’s the point. Same method. Different runs. Different expressions. ⸻ 🌈 WHAT’S COMING NEXT As this diary continues, you’ll see: • additional BHO batches • longer cold cures • side-by-side comparisons • deeper dives into texture evolution • and real observations, not assumptions This is a long-form project. It grows the same way good medicine does — slowly. Thank you for being here, for reading with an open mind, and for respecting the process. More to come. Always. 🍯 SAMPLE 01 — WAXY / FULL-MELT EXPRESSION (01) This first expression is the one that leaned clearly toward a waxy, buttery, full-melt profile, while keeping the same golden color spectrum as the rest of the batch. At first glance, what stands out is the uniform gold tone — no darkening, no oxidation, no cloudy patches. The color remains consistent throughout, which already tells a story of a clean extraction and a proper long cure. 🔍 Visual & Physical Characteristics • Soft, waxy exterior with a satin / semi-gloss finish • Oil separation visible on the surface, especially when slightly warmed • Interior is drier and more structured, showing light aeration • Holds shape on the tool but melts immediately on contact with heat • Very easy to scoop, fold, and stretch What’s interesting here — and something many people miss — is that the oil separation is not a flaw. On the contrary, it’s a sign that: • terpenes are still active and mobile • cannabinoids have stabilized during cure • the matrix is alive and expressive This is exactly what a properly cured mixed-spectrum wax should look like. Why This Texture Happened This waxy expression likely came from a combination of: • minimal agitation early in the cure • balanced terpene retention • slow THCa nucleation • gentle post-scrape handling Even though it comes from the same run as the other samples, the chemistry chose this path — and I let it be. No forcing, no whipping, no rushing. 👃 Aroma & Flavor This one is LOUD — in the best way. • bright upfront notes • layered sweetness • earthy depth underneath • lingering resinous finish On low-temp dabs, the flavor spreads across the palate instead of peaking all at once. You don’t get a single dominant note — you get movement. 🌬️ Melt & Consumption This is true full-melt behavior: • melts clean with no residue • smooth on the lungs • fast onset but not aggressive • very controlled, medicinal effect Perfect for: • flavor-chasing • daytime to balanced evening use • low-temperature dabs • anyone who appreciates terpene expression over brute force 🧠 Important Note Even though this sample looks softer and more “oily” on the surface, it is fully purged, fully cured, and fully stable. 🧀 SAMPLE 02 — DRY / CRUMBLE FULL-MELT Four-Month Cold Cure Expression (02) This second expression comes from a different extraction run and a different batch, processed independently — but using the same extraction method, the same philosophy, and the same safety standards explained throughout this diary. While Sample 01 and Sample 02 are not from the same run, they are the result of the same technique applied consistently over time, allowing a clear comparison of how curing duration and natural stabilization shape the final expression. This batch was allowed to cold cure for four full months, double the time of Sample 01. What time did here is not subtle. This sample naturally evolved into a drier, crumble-leaning structure, while maintaining the same golden color spectrum and true full-melt behavior. ⸻ 🔍 Visual & Physical Characteristics • Dry, brittle texture that breaks cleanly by hand • Thin, flaky plates with sharp edges • Matte-to-light-sparkle surface (microcrystalline structure) • No greying, no darkening, no oxidation • Warm, consistent gold tones throughout The crumble forms are not whipped, forced, or mechanically altered. This structure is purely the result of time, temperature, and molecular organization during a long, undisturbed cold cure. ⸻ ❄️ What Cold Curing Does (And Why Time Matters) Cold curing is the process of allowing an extract to stabilize slowly at low temperatures, without agitation and without added heat. Over time: • residual gases fully dissipate • cannabinoids reorganize into a more crystalline structure • terpenes bind, settle, or slowly migrate • moisture and volatility stabilize naturally At four months, this batch clearly shows: • advanced THCa crystallization • reduced surface oil migration • increased structural rigidity • extremely clean and predictable melt behavior Nothing was rushed. Nothing was pushed. This is patience doing the work. ⸻ Purging & Stability Notes This batch was: • fully purged before curing • then allowed to off-gas naturally over several months • never reheated • never aggressively reworked The result is a concentrate that is: • chemically stable • mechanically dry • aromatically refined • exceptionally smooth on melt Time is the final purge. ⸻ 👃 Aroma & Flavor Profile Compared to Sample 01, this expression leans: • deeper • more grounded • more “hash-forward” The high notes are still present, but they arrive later. The flavor unfolds slowly, with a heavier base and a longer, more settled finish. Think: • less brightness • more depth • less movement • more weight ⸻ 🌬️ Melt & Effects Despite the dry crumble appearance, this is true full-melt: • liquefies cleanly • leaves no residue • produces no harshness • delivers very controlled vapor Effects lean toward: • full-body relaxation • pain relief • evening / nighttime use • grounding and calm Same method — different expression. ⸻ 🧠 Important Reminder Crumble does not mean: • lower quality • over-purged • terpene-less • or harsh In this case, it means fully matured through time. Different run. Same method. Same color spectrum. Same melt. More time. ⸻ 🌈 CLOSING REFLECTION — CONSISTENT METHOD, DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS Sample 01 (2-month cold cure) shows movement, aroma, and surface oil expression. Sample 02 (4-month cold cure) shows structure, depth, and crystalline stability. Neither is better. Neither is worse. They are simply different chapters written by time, using the same language of patience and respect. This is why I don’t rush medicine. This is why I let chemistry speak. And this is why patience will always outperform speed.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

So Ill start by talking about her smell. Maria has been super super low key in that so far my room has not stank of weed super badly. My room was fresh and had a herby comforting lining, but no blue-cheese-skunk-on-the-loose type scenario. But when you frisked up Maria, a persons nostrils might describe it something like ...walking through a mystical forrest eating your favourite candy, after you've just blessed a fat one with Bob Marley.. its a feeling not a smell. But if you were to describe it, its like a summer fucking cocktail' bish. She has also started to show some red hairs, Id say about 1/3 of her hair is ginger at this point. I think a point to note is that she has been drinking a lot more water (About 3l water every 3 days) as she's bulked up and started to shine. Im super happy with the grow so far; Ive made mistakes, and not all circumstances have been ideal. BUT, its been such a rewarding experience so far and I'm also glad I got to start with fucking dank genetics from Dinafem. You guys are fuckin' super stars. Ive been supplementing her with some LOVE. I can not get over how beautiful it is?! Cannabis is just so mystical? Being my first grow I'd still never got to see a late flowering cannabis plant in my life! I grew up in Dubai where Cannabis is hecticly-illegal, and lived in cities thereafter most my life. Maria is like a child who I will later kill in her sleep before she wakes up and hang upside down in my cupboard to dry out. But I truly love this plant.

ACE Seeds Malawi x Northern Lights Auto 8th March 2020 Welcome Back it's now Day 32 since Germination and she is Moving into Full stretch and early flowering . Hopefully I got enough LST training done so that I can maximise my harvest potential. Ive got her back out in the sun today because the weather is ideal. I reckon a bit of natural sunlight and UV couldn't hurt her and could even be a very good thing actually. Whilst she's outdoors I'll feed her with some Fulvic , Humic and amino acids plus Mycorrhizae and one last mix of Grow Nutes. This should be enough to see her thru the stretch phase hopefully and then she'll start getting more Potassium and Phosphorus for Bud production. That's about it for This week so thankyou for Reading this update see you next week 👍
