Just got the girls in the coco with the floraflex drip shields. I have on girl in regular roots organic soil and some m3 super soil mixed in. They are under my DIY citizen cob led. Consists of 4-citizens clu048 -1818 90cri cobs running at 1050ma. Later in bloom I'll probably bring in my other DIY that consists of 2-citizens clu058-1825 90cri cobs running at 2.4 amps. Im hoping to really push these girls but this is only my second run with coco and advanced. We shall see!

Total days above ground: 63 Total flower nights: 24 Just beyond 3 weeks into flower and the plants are showing their potential. The Mountaintop Mint has made great strides but is still a lanky bitch. I had to HST every branch, and may need to bend a couple more down before vegetative growth abates. Not a fan of this growth pattern and still unhappy about 2 out of 9 seeds providing a viable outcome. The bright side is that yield should be fine given the plethora of bud sites. Despite being difficult to grow next to other plants, I feel much better about its prospective outcome than I did just 1 week ago. That whole "crazy shit can happen in flower" thing rings true, again. Overall the canopy has filled in nicely. I have a couple spots where light is wasted and I'll make some adjustments to the process to fix that for future grows. Now that I've settled on plant size and number of plants, improvements can be made each cycle until it's clockwork. I like the 12-cola vs 8 cola experiement. I've got a fairly long list of edits to make to various sections of my "bible," which means I liked the outcomes of most of my incremental adjustments. Continual, systematic improvement in action... One other incremental change on the docket but not yet realized will be dropping nutrient concnetration once vegetative growth ends. Exact timing will be based on what I see in the foliage. I see some minor tip curl and its a bit darker than I want. So, it may come sooner than later. This'll be something I tweak over the next few grow cycles until I'm happy with the late-flower health. I'll drop fertilizer concentration 10-15% on next refill and see how that plays out. It'll take a couple refills of reservoir to near 100% transition without draining it. If necessary, I'll drain and do a full refill for more pressing needs. A rez scrub before final stretch is coming, regardless. Side note: The impacts of VPD can be enormous. Last year (2025-2 diary) I had a humidifier wick get fouled and RH dropped while VPD spiked for more than a few days, thinking I could power through or that the canopy would soon provide more moisture. Nope, growth stalled in a significant way. By comparing day 34-42-49 of 2025-2 and day 38-42-49 of this diary, I can see a huge difference in growth at same point above ground. The consitency with which i do things makes it fairly certain it's the extende period with extremely high VPDs that caused the difference. Also, interesting that it mostly catches back up by completion of third week of flower. The size difference is nearly undone by this point, though 2025-2 took 4 days longer vege phase to get there. Even so, I still think this grow is more than 4 days ahead of 2025-2 (the difference in vegetative phae duration). Time will tell if the development is ahead of the pace in 2025-2 or whether it's simply mostly an offset due to a less efficient vege phase for 2025-2.

Not too much on the scale but the terps and the intensity of the smoke is great. Two very distinct phenos that makes it so much interesting to understand the differences between.

20.11.2025 Well, I did it and chose a branch to pollinate. I've put a bag over the Agent-Orange-Male-Flowers, cut it off, carried it to the tent, put it over the Gelato x Black Lebanon-Female, shook and clapped et voilà, I hope it worked 😅. She is georgious, splendid and healthy. I need to defoliate her more, but now, after the pollination of one branch, I do prefer to leave her alone for a while. Her flowers are bulping up, the stretch was extremely intense and also she does drink very much! What a journey 🌸💜.

Well I've had a few problems along my first grow but thankfully the WW being a tough strain I made it work and I'm very happy with my outcome and I'll be doing a few things differently for sure, for a start I've changed my pots to new 13 ltr pots and can't wait to see what happens so that's one of many things I'm changing Looking forward to sharing with you all soon my new diary and love to grow 🌱✌️

Sorry I couldn't get better pictures but I'll try again tomorrow. This strain certainly deserves it. Very low leaf to bud ratio on this plant. Dark pink or orange stigmas retracted into the buds as they finished and one pheno had the densest nugs I've ever grown. This year realky showed me the difference of quality seeds compared to "local" clones. After a rainstorm on the large fluffier pheno I found a "trapped" bumblebee inside one of the massive colas. I had to help it out. It was literally "stuck" due to the resin. This strain had the most pleasant aroma that stuck with the finished product. Due to the small amount of leaf to bud ratio this plant was a breeze to trim. That being said I still don't have it ALL manicured up but I'm working on it. All plants seemed fairly pest resistant as well. If you enjoy indica strains (90/10) with short flowering times than this should certainly be on your "to grow list." Having these plants totally finish before October was very helpful. According to many local growers (both patients and commercial growers) this was "the worst year for growing cannabis in memory." I've had the best year I've had in decades (probably ever) both quality and quantity wise.

Like clockwork, all three of these girls sprouted in about 3 days. I've had %100 germination with all my 42 auto beans so far. Didn't feel like any nutes were necessary. Soil mix is about 50/50 Happy Frog and Recipe 420 Bhang. Gonna run Dirty Dozen this time around with a Co2 Dispersal Canister and see if we can grow sum thiccersonz!

Muy buena genética, me quedé con el pheno 1, ya que tenía más resina y un mejor terp para mi gusto. Buen híbrido no te deja superaplacado y ofrece un efecto cerebral eufórico.
