This week has been a good one all round. The sun has been beaming down all day for days and I still due to continue for a while. The gorilla 🦍 has now started to get to a nice bushy size, unfortunately outgrowing the original tent position. After the mistake I made with the Rhino Ryder I grew by taking the bold move to leave permanently in the elements, the cold temps at night really slowed bud production. I have had to improvise and make a shoddy attempt at lifting the tent to allow the room needed.

🙂

girls smell sweet and are stacking like right on top of one another. I had to splay her out and thin some leaves to ensure good airflow. This is the Wedding cake XL so I am starting to see what the buds are going to looks like on this one. Can't get over the fresh sweet smell.

One of 4 strains grown together in 0.36m² using Migro Array 2 (125W). Variable dimming: W1 60%/24h, W2-10-11-12 60%/20h, W3-5-8-9-13 80%/20h, W6-7 100%/20h. Average real consumption: 95W with 173.6 kWh total. STRAIN: Divine Seeds genetics - underrated breeders producing excellent quality! NUTRIENTS: Full Biotabs bacterial line - positively surprised by the results! Organic living soil approach. GROWING APPROACH: Focused on DLI (calculated from Migro’s PAR map), VPD, water temperature, and water resting time. Did NOT monitor pH, EC, CO₂, or use PAR meter. MY BEST HARVEST SO FAR! 🏆 COLLECTIVE METRICS (4 plants total): • Total dry weight: 210g (+ 10g bubble hash) • Total wet weight: 890g • g/watt: 2.21 (or 2.31 with hash) • g/m²: 583 (or 611 with hash) • Average per plant: 52.5g Individual weights: Fractal 55g, Northern Lights 54g, Black Opium 67g (best performer!), Moon Rock 34g. Dense and resinous buds. Additionally grew 3 outdoor plants (Fractal #2: 21g + 60g frozen, Northern Lights #2: 14g + frozen, Black Opium #2: 50g fresh frozen) - not included. ~300g frozen trim (indoor+outdoor) yielded ~10g bubble hash. Good luck to everyone in the contest! 🍀

The plant have been harvested when this dairy was updated. The final result and the dry weight will be posted when the drying stage have been done. thank you for following our dairy this season, hopefully we will make the new dairy for next season soon.

No para de sorprendernos esta variedad, ahora estamos seguros de que fue una excelente idea llevar esta variedad al limite en este proceso de vegetativo extenso. La Nutrición colombiana de @c21nutrients esta dando mejores resultados de lo esperado. 🇨🇴💚

Day 36. Manipulating to even out canopy, don't be afraid to super crop kids. Lol. Continuing with maxigro every other watering til 15% runoff. Day 38. Mild HST on tallest branches to even canopy. Day 40. Here we go Steelers, here we go 👏 👏.

Day 1 - LST train both plants... Mostly SB1 to have a wider canopy let the smaller nodes catch up. SB2.. Nice structure, really upset to break 1/2 of it... But loads of energy and recovered /train well. Nodes larger than SB1, but SB1 has mode nodes

All Girls matured and went to drying this week. I will include an harvest report once dried.

*If anyone read through my GDP diary, this is going to be mostly the same stuff. So, sad day friends. I got spider mites and had to throw all my plants out. This is what I think happened: About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed some freckling on the lower leaves. I looked at it and thought it might be a cal/mag issue so I added cal/mag that week and went about my business. I saw it about a week later and it wasn't getting any better so I added more cal/mag. This continued for about 2-3 weeks until I finally took off a leaf and examined it under my microscope. I saw little bugs crawling everywhere and my stomach just dropped. My fiance did some quick research while I was panic ripping leaves off (see pictures) and she correctly diagnosed it as spider mites. I debated with myself and my close friend and ultimately I decided to throw all the plants in my tent away. I know that there are a lot of people who will say that there are things I could have done to make it to harvest but what it came down to is the people I take care of and personal pride. I consider myself a caregiver and I give away product for free that I am not going to use to my family and close friends. I thought to myself "Would you smoke this?" and when my answer was "ehhh, I don't know", I thought about how it would feel giving it away and immediately made the decision to destroy them. I take an immense amount of pride in my product and this hobby and if I am not going to stand behind it I would rather just start over. I grow from my heart (shout out to the Grow From Your Heart Podcast!) to help people and make sure my family is not getting unsafe product from sketchy people. To spray pesticides in flower that may hurt people and have little bug carcasses in there just goes against that in every way and is just wrong in my opinion if you are giving it away to others. If you are the only one smoking it then it is one thing to take that risk but not with your patients. I want my medicine to help people, not create or exacerbate health issues. It is also important to note that the mites had moved from my flower tent into my veg space and took over my auto berry as well. Damn things are crafty and fast. So that is why I made the decision to destroy them all after 3+ months of res changes, pruning, and manifolding on a slow vegging strain. Feel free to chime in with your opinion but I do not regret my decision. I threw out my new clones, mother plant, and auto berry I had on my veg side as well. Shout out to all the other growers out there that do the right thing by their patients. Caregivers > Cash croppers. For anyone curious, I removed everything from my tent and scrubbed it all with a 20% bleach/water solution. All equipment has been wiped down and stored in the garage away from any organic materials. I will give them until tomorrow (2 days) to air out and dry and then I will wipe it down again with bleach and wait another 2 days. Hopefully that will make sure everything is dead and will not come back next grow. That next grow should start in about a week. It sucks but sometimes it happens and you gotta be ready for it. Lesson learned. Never bring outdoor plants into your indoor garden even if it is after just a day or two. A bunch of people on here and Reddit warned me and I did not listen. Now I have learned the hard way and it feels like when your parents "told you so" haha. Thanks to everyone who stopped by along the way. Stay tuned for a new grow coming soon. It is going to be some cool new limited edition Mephisto Illuminautos. I am pretty excited. Good luck out there and always grow from your heart folks. -Grim

🌿 Woche 12 – Mentha de Croco 🇩🇪 Beide Mentha de Croco haben in der vergangenen Woche einen beeindruckenden Wachstumsschub hingelegt und sind von 112 cm auf stolze 131 cm angewachsen 🚀. Die heißen Sommertemperaturen von deutlich über 30 °C ☀️🌡️ sorgen aktuell für einen hohen Wasserbedarf, sodass jede Pflanze momentan etwa 4,5 Liter täglich trinkt 💧. Interessanterweise zeigen beide Pflanzen einen völlig unterschiedlichen Wuchs. Eine entwickelt sich sehr säulenförmig, während die andere eher an einen klassischen Tannenbaum erinnert 🌲. Trotz der unterschiedlichen Struktur sehen beide Pflanzen hervorragend aus und zeigen sich in bester Gesundheit 💚✨. Zur Unterstützung des Bodenlebens und der allgemeinen Vitalität gibt es einmal pro Woche im Wechsel entweder einen Komposttee ?🍵 oder ein Brennnessel-Ackerschachtelhalm-Ferment 🌿. Mit den aktuellen Bedingungen dürfen die nächsten Wochen sehr spannend werden! ☀️🌱 🌿 Week 12 – Mentha de Croco 🇬🇧 Both Mentha de Croco plants experienced an impressive growth spurt over the past week, stretching from 112 cm to a remarkable 131 cm 🚀. With summer temperatures well above 30°C ☀️🌡️, their water demand has increased significantly, and each plant is currently drinking around 4.5 liters per day 💧. Interestingly, both plants display completely different growth patterns. One is developing into a tall, column-like structure , while the other resembles a classic Christmas tree shape 🌲. Despite their different architectures, both plants look exceptionally healthy and vigorous 💚✨. To support soil life and overall plant health, they receive either a compost tea ?🍵 or a nettle and horsetail ferment 🌿 once a week, alternating between the two. With the current conditions, the coming weeks should be very exciting! ☀️🌱

FBT013 aka White Widow . Well this girl is a big stretcher , she went from 30 odd cm to 60 in a week . She also has fairly long internodal spacing so far. I wonder if it will fill in a bit more between nodes as the buds develop? Im hoping it does. Fed her a third of a cup of Mr B's Green Trees Bloom mix and some Great White Mycorrhizal powder which I simply watered in thoroughly. That is all for this weeks white widow update Hope To See You Next Year 😃

I’m getting closer to harvest when it comes to Blu dream! I think I’ll wait till about a week and a half maybe 2 weeks before I do so😎. Northern Lights needs a bit more time but she’s doing great as well. She’s a monster! Banana purple punch has a cartoon like structure and I’m excited to see her in full bloom in the next couple of weeks. I’m glad I saved my tops and cloned them, I mean why throw them away right 🤷‍♂️🏾! Happy planting peeps 😎😁!

Ottime genetiche con qualche pecca però poca stabilità nel gusto centrale e tende a piegarsi per il peso delle foglie. Hanno lo stesso trattamento delle mendocino e loro sono molto più in salute

11/10 - Over this last week the ladies have consumed a significant amount of nutrients in addition to the water they drank. After 4-5 days ppms measured 580 and pH 6.7. Added full strength nutes to top off (not half-strength like normal). This brought the res to 715ppm and 6.2pH. Removed a couple older fan leaves that weren't getting good light. Plant is maintaining 6" height with wire ScrOG. She has started to show her bud sites and I expect a fairly healthy stretch due to her ~90+ day timeline. This should allow plenty of tucking under the ScrOG to allow light to the inner bud-sites and increase overall yield vs previous grows. As always, feel free to hit me up with any comments or questions about my grow. Happy Growing!

the small ones take their rhythm😄 this week I start with bio-grow 2ml / l alternating day if not day. They begin to notice odor inside the closet, filter works ok👍😅

Not a bad yield, smells really nice, fuel and berries

Following the plan, the girls are beautiful and were already quite big during this stretching phase. I hope everything continues as it is now during this growth and weight gain phase. For the rest, just wait for time to pass. 🌱🌿✌️✌️
