I think that this is as good as they're gonna get. Gonna pull them both down and start a fresh one trying to keep it cooler cos mid 30s everyday is not good. Learned a lot this time, hopefully much better next time! Also took the top off the stardawg last weekend, should almost be smokable now!!

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

Week 3 of my soon-to-be purple ladies! 😻 Everything was going well but I noticed these issues: - The girl on the back is stretching waaaaay more and is less "leafy" than her sister. Perhaps she has more sativa in her DNA? - Leaves on both girls love to twirl around, specially on the girl on the front. - The stem on both girls is still weak and the girl on the front no longer needs the extra help she needed! Weather where I live is getting colder for some odd reason (it should be the opposite, damn!) and the "purple" is... perhaps starting to show a little? Which is good!? 😮 Anyway, that's all for this week. See you all next one and I hope you'll all enjoy the photos and the timelapse! 😁

Very good plant it liked when I topped it not to picky smells like garlic right now I’m happy with it and I’ll update when I finish drying the rating may go up after I smoke it

Eccoci qua alla seconda /terza settimana di fioritura, questa ragazza sembra molto promettente! Un sacco di fiori ben distanziati e già con la resina attorno in formazione, come piacciono a me, con tanta resina fin dalle prime settimane in cui spuntano questi meravigliosi fiori! Sta iniziando ad avere un odore davvero molto interessante, molto speziato e con note tipo noccialate forse? Staremo a vedere nelle prossime settimane, ma sono sicuro che questa mi darà una grande soddisfazione! Come potete vedere anche voi si è ripresa alla grande dalle carenze che aveva in vegetativa, sto seguendo precisamente la tabella di Terra Aquatica, ex GHE, sono davvero orgoglioso di fare parte della loro famiglia e di poter mostrare a tutti voi e a me stesso la potenzialità di questi nutrienti, che con soli 3 prodotti e qualche supporto da sea weed, mi sta dando forse una delle migliori erbe coltivate in vita mia? Grazie a tutti voi soprattutto che seguite i miei diari, siete di ispirazione e la ragione che mi porta a fra i vedere le mie potenzialità come coltivatore amatoriale! Un buon 420 a tutti voi alla prossima!! 💪😸🙏

I started germination of 2 Moon Walker kush beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up.h Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some background information on my first run with MWK. She gets very branchy fast and absolutely loves lst. Responded everytime with a vigorous growth spurt after training sessions. Very easy going on nutrients and didnt have any different needs outside my normal feeding schedule. Super tight compact colas in definite need of increased air flow and movement. Ended up having the fans turned up much higher in the room she was in because of the shear mass and density. Super trichome production outta these genetics. One of the frostiest strains I've grown to date. Just diamonds!!! Amped for this second run.

The terps have begun, the amnesia tropical, the gorilla fruity, the Franco lemony, and the Queen with a fuelly musk. All in all lookin super tasty so far. The Franco is stretching fast towards the height of the amnesia, so I am hoping for a lemon sativa pheno for her, we'll see. Cheers

I am now flushing her with plain Brita filtered water PH'd with lime juice to lower her PH. I initially first flushed her with 42L of water and now I am flushing her once a day for 8 days and then I will put her in for darkness for 3 days and then I will harvest her and dry her for 9 days and then cure her for 28-48 days.

For LIQUIDS & NUTES ******GREEN BUZZ NUTRIENTS***** organic. Also i’m using their LIVING SOIL CULTURE in powder form! MARSHYDRO ⛺️ has large openings on the sides which is useful for mid section groom room work. 🤩 ☀️ MARSHYDRO FC 3000 LED 300W 💨MARSHYDRO 6” in-line EXTRACTOR with speed-variation knob, comes complete with ducting and carbon filter.

19.08.26 So beim Skunk Haze und Black Lemon ist ein Ast abgebrochen durchs Gewicht und bei Apple Betty hängt auch alles mal schauen wie ich das manage bis zum Schluss scheisse scheisse 20.08.26 Läuft die Chocobang hat richtig die fetten Blüten die Skunk Haze hat auch richtig schöne Blumen die Apple Betty ist kollabiert vom ganzen Gewicht die Blüten sind nicht so groß aber stinken tun sie am meisten die GDP obwohl so klein könnten am ende super lange schöne Blüten werden Die Sour Diesel macht auch Fette leider hab ich sie ein bisschen zu spät an ihren jetzigen Platz gestellt ein Ast ist voll mit Blüten die anderen holen auf könnten aber genau so sein jetzt und die Black Lemon ist komplett kollabiert alles hängt hab Mühe die richtig zu platzieren damit sie genug Licht bekommt werden aber sicherlich gute Blüten am ende Exotic Seeds hat mich noch nicht enttäuscht bin gespannt wie es in ein paar Wochen aussieht das Wetter muss nur mitspielen Daumen drücken 🤞🏻 Peace 💚 "Edit" Die Honig Angabe bezieht sich auf ein Teelöffel Honig in einem kleinen Glas Wasser aufgelöst und in die 10L Nährstofflösung gekippt 23.08.26 So hab ein Scrog Netz 3x5m oder so ähnlich zurechtgeschnitten was ich locker auf die Pflanze legen und die Blüten einarbeiten werde Dank geht raus an @Northern_Ent der mir den tip gab 😘 Hab jetzt 1h die Skunk Haze und Apple Betty in das Netz gefädelt das ein Akt es sieht schon ein bisschen besser aus nur das Wetter steht noch im weg

Week 6 for Black Lebanon by SSSC, Like i mentioned on the previous Sunday update, she was transplanted a day after the post. I was planning on not giving water for the first week to let the roots do some growing.... the rain gods had a different plan 😂 Its been storming rain ever since day after transplant now 5 days i think 😂😂 So that didn't go to plan but hoping no rain next week fingers crossed. I also think i topped her again some point last week. Cant wait for her roots to get moving in the new home.

Plants are starting to turn purple as we enter the final week they are on water as I tempt to flush out any remaining nuits the buds are really frosted and have taken great shape over the past couple weeks

Looking good!

Day 15 - Girls are looking healthy, they are short as of now and I like it (:

Nach 70 Tagen wurde die Beleuchtungsdauer um 1,5 Std pro Tag reduziert und die Lichtintensität darauf angepasst. Zu Blütetag 1 läuft die EVO5 auf 90%, zu Blütetag 4 auf 95%

The start of week 3 veg I’ve been LSTing the plant I notice development drastically every 12hrs and now just starting to spot the development of side branches and a sturdier stem and fatter leaves and new node growth I am following shogun coco nutrient schedule week by week
