Hey there! Been so busy that I had to skip week 11. So this will be a summary of weeks 11 and 12. The plants have employed me alot. We are talking about operation defoliation. I defoliated half of the plants in 10 hours. First I was a little bit scared that I may have taken off too many leaves, but when I finally got the whole job done (about 1 week), the first ones had already started bushing again so I'm not worried anymore. Root rot seems to have been dealt of, which is a relief. Unfortunately tho, I'm paying a price for fucking up in the first place, in the form of some seeds emerging. This doesn't move me much tho, even I know what a pain in the ass it will be in the post trimming phase. I'm glad we got over the root rot and a couple of seeds here and there can't stress me out right now. I mean look at these BEAUTIEZ!! There's a couple of mid defoliation photos, they look harsh especially when tied up so I really can get in there. The hairs have gone very brown from all the touching I had to do defoliating. Even tho I used gloves, they got so brown, but I noticed also new white hairs growing after one week

Week 10 for Wockesha she is finally at her end. All phenos look beautiful with different tones of purple through out the bud. All the Pheno had dense buds. Some phenos had better frost factor and some had better weight factor. Will do a whole plant hang dry for 2-3 weeks and then to a jar cure!

2/10: I watered today with about 3/4 gallon each, plus cal-mag, signal, bembe, armor si, a little open sesame, and their final dose of endoboost. The short one never did stop making the hook leaves on all her new growth, but she seems happy..budding faster than anybody else.. 2/11: Wife home sick today....postponing construction project to raise the lights. 2/12: Today, I tackled the project to raise my ceiling another foot. In addition to that project, I installed and hooked up my new AC Infinity 6" intake fan. It's pulling in fresh air from the soffit vent on the eave of the attic, and currently feeding the garden with 46f fresh air. I'm able to easily maintain daytime temps in the lower 70f's now. I am able to drive the nighttime temps as low as I want. The only issue is that the outdoor RH varies quite a bit, so I ordered a 30-pint dehumidifier to put in the top of the closet. I sprayed everybody with boomboom spray to try and mitigate the light burn damage that is likely to ensue. 2/13: The taller one is still stretching a little bit, but the 2-footer is just budding up. 2/14: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, cal-mag, signal, bembe, humic acid, and I switched over from Open Sesame to Beastie Bloomz. Raised the lights another couple of inches. I did some training on them and defo'd a little bit. 2/15: Installed the new dehumidifier and rigged the continuous drain on it...works great. 2/16: I rotated the edge plants and removed some old leaves. I added another 22w 3000k 4' bar light under the canopy. 2/17: I rearranged the garden and defoliated a little bit. That's it for week 8-

Herrrrro gang! Welcome to another week of Daank's grow! 8/2: Brought back the Great White. I was reading that it works well in conjunction with other root excelurators, like Rapid Start. I got 2 more temp/humidity sensors for the tent. It allows me to keep track of 100% of what is really going on, I find it to take away worry (b/c temps are very important!). Today was a "eureka!" moment in terms of understanding run-off pH and it's value to telling the grower how healthy the plant is and what nutes may, or may not, be needed. I also got some new LED glasses so I don't burn my fucking corneas when tending to the garden - they are phenomenal and I suggest them if you grow with an LED. Check the videos and photos. Pistils are growing rapidly and baby budlets are starting to form. I'm actually getting a nice subtle purple color - it's very neat. Today's run-off pH was 6.3, and I gave it 6.3 for water - so that's a good sign (I bounce the pH all around from 5.5-6.3). I'll keep track of this moving forward in the diary. Minor defoliation. ***Pro-Tip: If you're wondering what the run-off should be... around +.5/-.5 of what you put in is good. But this also might not mean anything... so many different opinions on the web. ****: My Spotify Playlist for my plants: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ydAFulbzDlqFr5WIZdfM1?si=r5M5H83BSQ6tOE5pk9Bg4Q Day 38 - 8/4: Lil'budlet's are poppin' up all over. By the end of this week I assume we'll be in full swing. Day 39: I have ordered new nutes, Advanced Nutrients. The reviews, photos, and research all point to using this for the best results. I found them to be a bit expensive, but if I can always get perfect pH values without much of a hassle... I'm down. They will be here by end of the week and I'll transition that over this weekend. I can't wait. Day 40: 8/6 - Advanced Nutrient nutes arrive today. Watering will be a pleasure. The plants look great. The buds are real. Small smell. Trimmed last night quite a bit for bud production. They love George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". It perks 'em up.

Very strong week. Stopped Rhizotonic. Began LST. After feeding the gelato just pH water the paleness subsided and more colour came back to the plant. Gelato starting to grow bushy, strong growth from both plants.

Week 9: So it feels like this could actually be week 10 as I've been flushing this one early girl....She's a beauty and I'm flawless finish flushing. Gonna go with a few more doses b4 we harvest but she's ready. My other I've been Overdriving with Nirvana, Mike's OG, Bud Candy and Bud Factor X. Going into week 9 with strong finish on these other girls. The Buds are hand ✋️ sized and I got like 8 huge branches on each plant so already thinking about what my harvest is gonna be like when done. Also thinking alot about curing and my cure set-up. So basically gonna have buds curing all through the winter. The next grow should be done by Christmas so 2024 Bud will cure through election season and I'll be ready... Day? What's a day?: So @ this point my girls are women now and I'm already on to tha next!!! Actually maybe one more over drive session for a few but just letting these ladies kindo of just hang out by the pool. Taking lights down last hour of the grow to spray with a Grease, Golden Goddess mix so when light go to 6 they can feed through the leaves. Same thing in the morning. Spray and let them go on that dimmer light for a few then back to bright. I'm like the towel boy @ a pool of lovely ladies all asking me to spray oil on their backs. I'm getting huge buds and just kind of overwhelmed by all the work. There is alot of "love/hate/labor" in growing "Top Shelf" and I'm to the point in my grow where I'm think about of all things, "More nutrients" and where I can get the best bang for my buck. Went through my B2 like huh but only a 250ml bottle. The Grease gone. I thinking that or Canna. I few other nutrients running low but not low enough to stop this next grow, The Christmas Grow. Fast Flower, not Auto but Fast Flower. Growing 420 FB's line-up!!! That's like 6 strains so excited about that. Other than that spending thinking about the clean up of my tent and the floor spacing for the next grow. Woke up and started cutting of one of my ladies. Took three huge bud limbs, cut and trimmed b4 putting them in a paper bag to dry. My fingers smell like I've been "finger banging" the ladies. Almost out of weed and closing down the whole re-up operation. It's been fun dealers but bout ta give up my spot! Sunday..middle week 9...so one of my girls was officially retired 2day. Cut her and am goinging paper bag dry. Flushed her for a week and soil was almost dry enough but could of let her sit @ least til end of week grow schedule but said fuck it My other girls had their last or next to last feeding depending on how this particular feed goes. I did a couple of different things regarding nutrients. I dosed them well in honor of the one missing. Water and fed with care making sure that this last or next to last Overdrive shot gets me extra extra large buds. Almost start of week 10: Bout ready to flush these girls and get set up for the next grow. Watching a particular plant though that is not an A/F and pretty fuck'n amazed by it's size. 4 of these would fill my tent easily but zap my nutrients so waiting to see how these girls smoke b4 deciding what direction my next grow will go. Got one plant drying though and should be ready for the jars in another 8 or nine days. They are very sticky and big so excited about the next few weeks. This whole curing thing is gonna be fun and looking to try some stuff....fruit peels in a jar and flavorful terpene's Up early to get this grow flushed and finished. Since it's the start of Week 10 going into FDC mode on all these girls and get em out of this tent and into dry mode. Really proud of my first grow and hoping to harvest and cure goes smoothly. Some of my nutrient are low but looking @ the girls seems like they took the feedings very Stargate 2023: Somewhere in between flush and dry but picked up some cardboard boxes along with 5 cases of water. 2 cases maybe to finish flush and 3 to start the Xmas grow. I got my first girl in paper bags but am switching to hang drying. Started flushing all but one. Gave her some OD but will join the rest in flush in a few more days.(needs more density). Think I'm going 3 maybe 4 more flush feedings but after that gonna give em another week b4 the deed. Experimenting with flushing b4 the cut to see how far a can take these!! What ever week what ever day: So my first girl down and drying.... I mean it looked like she was moving faster than the rest so I flushed a week and chopped. This seems rushed and it is just a bit. So by having one plant ahead of the rest F.D.C. on this gives me an opportunity to figure out how I'm gonna fdc the others. So once my bud dries will cure for about a week and test. Other girls will be still flushing. I used alot of nutrients in this 1st grow and want to make sure my buds don't taste like shit and smoke smoothly. Been spraying my girls an hour b4 lights on with Golden Godess. Ran out of Grease a week ago but still confident my plants are loving the GG. So thinking about the next grow and how to deal with this photo...this mf is gonna be a doozy so considering giving it to a fellow grower I talk with sometimes. Gonna need the space and a light cycle in unisoness with my fresh girls in this Xmas grow. A big bitch in the corner bullying my babies and stealing they light aint happening. She might have to go outdoors...(Johnny Lee Hookerish) Not really worried though cause if I put her on the stroll, she'll get chose no doubt. Next grow in less than 2 weeks so be on the look-out for a new diary. This grow is giving me so much information and style. I'm a writer and writing/documenting this grow is a form of therapy. My career is an algorithm; I'm pretty good @ my job; I genuinely love all with the exceptions of a few. What was written is coming to pass. The earth will be aight, the people on it...there was a song made back in tha day called "Self Destruction" we headed that way So mixed that song with a few Burning Spear songs followed by some E.L.T G.B.A and here we are!!!!! So I've been drying in paper bags one plant and setting up for cure. The others are in flush so have have starting cutting leave. Got all my plants nice and manicured during the flush so that i can go straight to dry but found a few stems that actually dried from the last defoliation and found a couple of branches I had cut due to being small. I crumbled a bit and put it in my blunt.😁 with some D weed that pretty good. Yeah it smokes really good and I can notice and taste the flavor in that portion smoked.....Can't wait to cure cause if i can smoke on this one plant while curing these others propper. Say 20-30 days I think my T's are gonna shine but definitely noticing the nutrient quality difference in the smoke. Awgh man I think I this is gonna change everything!!!

Hello everyone! without many words! 100% in perfect condition !!! All the same, I had to do defoliation and cleanse it of unnecessary things. I am afraid that mold will melt in such dense overgrowth. therefore I decided to relieve it from unnecessary branches and leaves inside the bush.

Week 9 - flushing begins. Week 8 went well, this girl packed on extra weight and bud density, a few branches broke away from their main stem, I had to tie them up. This girl is incredibly sticky, with a light fruit smell.

Have got the soil good ph i am pretty sure. I have got good growth out of the last week and few inches and some fan leafs and they look just barley burned and they are way happy standing up so I am thinking (fingers crossed) that I have got it under control. Going to do a trim and take some clones in the next week. Then a train for a couple weeks and put her in in flower tent get used to that light and flower her see what I get. Still just doing declorinated water at 6.5 let the soil do her job. Stay tuned

I missed a bunch of weeks, but the plants have been living outside full time for a few weeks now. I supported them with plant wire and bamboo. They didn't get nearly large enough before flowering.
