Buona settimana

This week I decided it was time to employ some LST. Really I should have just done LST and not topped them, aside from the largest one which responded well. They weren't putting out fast enough growth to take to topping well, and I've learned my lesson. That's why my autos haven't done so well in the past. I'm still learning😬 So in order to get as much as I can out of them as we enter flowering, we're doing a little LST this week. Earlier in the week I did have to bring them in the hoop house on 7/11 because we got a lot of rain that day, our basement flooded and the water got so high in the stream that it washed the bridge out. So I think I made the right decision otherwise they may have gotten lockout. I also changed their feed a bit. I added in some Neptunes Harvest Fish Fertilzer 2-4-1 with the Alaska 5-1-1 in equal portions on the 13th and will continue with it tonight. I may add a little molasses as well. Most of what I was trying to accomplish with each plant is explained in the video. Enjoy!

Lots of popcorn buds because I really did not understand defoliation or lollipopping and was too scared to try. I have since become a much better judge of what leaves to pull and when. This diary was just to create a record of every grow I have done so far. Thanks!

I had to add some support for the back left plant. I can technically Harvest and now but I'm waiting for a little more Amber on 3 plants. Its like 60/40 milky clear. Im thinking a week or so on 3 plants. But im horrible at guessing when they will be ready to harvest lol until I just scope and see lol.

All looking good, was looking like there was gonna be a few mutants but they seem to have sorted themselves out. Topped most of them now at day 22, will start spreading them out a bit this week and start training them up

Ultima Semana amigos!Ya para el dia de hoy llervamos 24 horas de escuridad para darles 24 horas mas para pasar a picar las plantas. Hoy haciendo esta publicacion le quedan 24 horas mas de oscuridad, osea mañana miercoles es el 2do dia de oscuridad para picar. Noto muchos terpenos, en cuanto a produccion, ésta sepa no produce muchos cogollos,eso lo lei luego de ya sembradas, se ven muy bien, les estare contando hacerca de sus efectos, pero su olor es fuerte, me tioene toda la casa olorosa a frutas. Muy contento y deseoso de probar esta sepa. Luego de cuidarlas mucho, se ven alegres, para pasar al proceso de secado, esperen a las cosecha amigos, y gracias por tooodo su apoyo. UN ABRAZO GRANDE A TODOS, buenos humos!

Week 8

Only water

04.08.25 the Auto Amnesias budsites are thickening up week after week, my guess is four more until chop, let's see. No bugs, fungus or other pests visible. Amazing to see this with powdery mildew present on the Quick Sherbet right next to it. It gets whiffs of peroxide spray but I don't drench it to avoid damage to the developing buds that are unaffected. Midweek the sun is said to pick up again at least for a few days in this unusual cloudy and cold stretch of summertime.

Weekly Update on the Runtz 🌱 Hey everyone! Just wanted to share how the Runtz is coming along. She's thriving under the care of the Plagron nutrients 🌿, reacting beautifully to every feed. Since my last update, she’s sprouted several new nodes and is showing incredible growth! https://plagron.com/en/tools/grow-schedule-calculator She’s definitely growing like a sativa 🌳, with those long, stretchy branches. To manage that, I’m planning to enforce some solid training techniques to keep her short and wide, just the way I like it 💪✨. I’m loving the whole experience so far, it’s been such a rewarding journey 💚. I’ve attached plenty of pictures for you all to check out 📸. Please drop a like, leave a comment, and share any feedback or tips you’ve got! 🌟🙌

Overall grow cycle was easy,strain reacts very good to topping and will work great in a scrog,smell tastes and effects are on point,more sativa to it.

This was an interesting harvest. Everything was going great and the buds/trichomes were still piling on, when suddenly almost overnight plant "C" shifted to about 20% amber trichomes. So I harvested it, and because the other plant wasn't ready yet I decided to try water curing the first one for 7 days. Then at the end of the 7 days, I figured I'd hack down plant "D" and dry them both on the racks in the tent at the same time before moving into jars. The water curing was a huge success! After the first day, the water was cloudy with a slight green tinge. Second day was about the same. Then the water was just a little cloudy each change, no green tinge. Compare it to the diary I just opened around water re-curing some cannabis I bought from the government store, where the water is diarrhea brown :O On day 7 of my water cure, the water was perfectly clear so I decided to hack down plant "D" and get them both drying on racks in the tent together. While water-curing plant "C", I had its trim sitting in a bowl in the freezer. When I hacked down plant "D", I put its trim in the same bowl. After my typical wet-trimming, I hung up Plant "C"'s water-cured buds on the top rack, plant "D"'s buds on the 2nd rack for an old fashioned cure, and random trim from both plants spread out on the bottom 2 racks. The water-cured buds dried within about 24 hours and went into a jar with a 58% humidipack. The buds are SUPER dense and potent! Nice clean high, doesn't kill my throat. The downside is that the taste is really weak and not that great. But everything has pros and cons. Almost no trichome loss in the bucket during the water curing as well -- I was really worried about that! The other buds dried in about 36 hours and went into a jar with a 58% humidipack, where I burped it many times a day for a week. The smell and flavour are much more potent than the water-cured bud and it's a little harsher on my throat, but otherwise I'm not sure there's a detectable difference. However, you can SEE there's a sharp visual difference between the water-cured buds and the jar-cured :) Of course the jar-cured will mature more with time as well. Once the trim was completely dry, I put it in a bag in the deep freezer and dropped it to about -20. I didn't need to use a grinder this way -- I could just mash it all up in the bag with extreme ease! Sifted it through the kief screen, and pressed down 17 grams of lazy-man's hash! After processing the trim through the kief screen, I decarbed in the oven at 200F for 1 hour (this converts THC-A into THC or something to that effect -- if you don't do this, the edibles won't get you very high). I put the trim into a big mason jar and back into the freezer along with my bottle of Everclear. Once they dropped somewhere down around -20, I poured in the Everclear, put the lid on, and shook as hard as I could, as often as I could, for 5 minutes or so. I noticed that as I shook it around, the contents inside would alternate between solid and liquid which was kinda cool :) Shake it one way and it freezes, shake it the other way and it thaws... or something to that effect, anyway. I was able to use a double-coffee-filter to extract about 2 cups of dragon tincture! I threw everything in the coffee filter out -- next time I'm going to do a better job of it as there's a little pile of trichomes that forms at the bottom of the filter which I could put to use. Once I get that down next harvest, I'll have around 99% efficiency milking every last drop out of my harvests! White chocolate is so yummy, as are candy canes... I wanted to combine the two to make some edibles. Looking around for candy cane crush, I decided to check out Amazon. They had the same candy cane crush I was looking at from popular stores, for only a couple dollars more, so I figured sure why not have it delivered. I was planning to get some white Baker's chocolate, but on checkout of the candy cane crush I got a deal for adding on white chocolate Lindt bars for $1.25 a piece LOL! So I bought 10 of those. When the Amazon package arrived, I slowly boiled down 1/2 cup of my dragon tincture in a pot, then used a double-boiler setup to melt down 4 of the Lindt bars in the same pot. Once it was mixed well with the hash oil, I set it aside to cool for about 3 minutes before stirring in 1/8 cup of candy cane crush (plus I ended up adding maybe like a tablespoon more), pouring into a pan lined with parchment paper, and putting in the freezer for 30 minutes. So now I have a nice big chunk of white chocolate candy cane crunch stuff where a piece the size of my thumb gets me super high for like 8+ hours; 17 grams of lazy-man's hash; and 88 grams of bud :) And still enough dragon tincture left over to make 3 more rounds of edibles -- not sure what I'll make next! From now on I'm going to water cure a large portion of all my buds -- not just the ones I grow myself, but ones I buy from the Gummint too!

Little buds start showing up more and more everyday now, and the smell is incredible! Massachusetts has been experiencing some heat waves a lot with short intense thunderstorms with high winds yet these plants have continued to do what they do best and thrive. Plants have been given another round of Jobes organic granular feed with a 2-5-3 composition on NPK, and have started to restore their dark green color in new bud sites. I have been giving them heavy water due to the intense heat of 90-100 degrees, sometimes twice a day of around 3-5 gallons each watering which could result in slight flushing and more frequent feedings. I will have to wait and see, and watch how the ladies respond

Flip the script to 12/12 waiting on a small tent via amazon to put my MILF in so I do not contaminate the other ladies, clones are hanging in there hope they will be ready to go into flower at 21 days. I just potted up to a 5 gallon fabric pot. They were drinking so much they were dry in 1 1/2 days. gave them a mild feeding and a good watering did not want to give to much trans nuites this week as I just lolly popped and potted up on the same day they look healthy enough to take it but I did not want to over whelm them with the food. so the plan moving forward it to start spraying MILF A in her own tent while the others flower in the big tent then the clones will move in to the tent and flower for 3 weeks all the while spraying MILF A 2 times a day with the CS the hope is by off setting the clones and the mothers by a week the MILF at 4 weeks while have Feminized Polled sacs that will be ready to sprinkle on the clones the other to mothers will flower to completion be chopped and dried and the clones will go until the seeds are mature with in an extra week or two. Stay Safe🙏 I will post more pics this week end.

It’s almost time! This week both plants are getting flushed to prepare them for harvest. 🌱 After that, they’ll be cut down and hung up to dry. #2 has developed an absolutely massive main bud — honestly the biggest I've ever had so far! Meanwhile, #1 stands proud as the tallest plant in the tent, still giving off that amazing sweet, tropical aroma.🍍🍬 Both plants have shown a very fast flowering time, finishing up quicker than expected! Upon checking the trichomes, about 65% are milky, 30% amber, and 5% still clear — exactly where I want them for the effects I'm aiming for. Super excited to see the final results after the dry and cure💚

День 54 Кусты выглядят здоровыми, визуально увеличились в 2-3 раза от конца веги. Активно тянутся на предцвете. Накинул сетку, подгибаю макушки под нее. Пока удается так притормозить рост. Шишек еще не заметил, третья неделя предцвета. Это саттива, которая вырастает в природе до 2,5 м. Надеюсь, удастся сеткой и пригибаниями удерживать макушки под светильником. Кормлю полностью по таблице Simplex, только убрал Simplex Taste и Aroma Punch. Проверю, ушла ли слизь с аэрационного камня. Сами добавки отдельно в литрушке с CalMag намешиваю и проливаю кусты, не с автополива.
