The snow is really coming down out there. Big fat flakes are piling up on the ground, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. I guess that means no outdoor plans for today. Might be the perfect day to get cozy inside with a warm drink and a good book The pound cake auto plant is growing like crazy! I'm so happy to see all the progress we've made. Yesterday, I finally got around to tying it down – it's amazing how much more stable it feels now. I can't wait to see what this plant looks like in a few more weeks.

Excited I got to run and test this genetic. Was very pleased with the result and would run it again. Very frosty, Dense nugs, and great fruity/gassy aromas. Great flavor, nice hybrid.

👉 This is the first staggered harvest I have done. The highest parts of the plant were definitely ahead of each lower level of flowers. So it made sense to give this a try. Also, there were so many sugar leaves in the flowers I knew I was facing some major trim time. So I started at the highest branch of colas and that was the main stem…what I call the Queen cola, on April 4. I was also very busy with work and life so I spaced out each successive branch by a day or two…or so. To harvest I would cut each major branch from the top down. There would be one major cola ( and best specimen) on each branch. That cola was trimmed so it was still on its stem and then weighed. I recorded the weight of the cola then assigned it a letter, put on a clothes pin, then hung on a rack. I would weigh the cola over a couple of days till it had loss 75% of it wet weight. I would cut from the stem for the final weight, then place in a jar with a hygrometer. I would monitor the jars and if they were above 62% I would take off the jar lid, then replace when humidity was back down. When stable I put a humidity pack in some of the jars, but not all, just to see if I can observe a difference after the cure. 👉 My last trim penance was served on May 1. Almost a full month. The first cola harvested is already being tested. I did a close trim and removed as many sugar leaves as possible. I think I spent over 10 hours in total. So glad I chose to stagger the job. I trimmed any frosty sugar leaves over a trim tray with a screen for a bottom. I also scissored a bunch of the larf buds into small bits to add to the trim. I made a nice small wafer of just trichomes with no plant matter. Very nice, sweet stuff. I’m letting the large pile of trimmed sugar leaves dry out till crispy and will hand grind them over that screen and press the kief produced into pucks. It’s green and has lots of plant material with it…but its still sweet, and a very nice topper to a bong or joint. 👉 There were a lot of nice buds of what I call secondary flowers. Those were on secondary branch ends mostly. These buds were placed on a dry net. After 24hrs, I placed them in a paper bag. When they had lost 75% of their wet weight they were put into a jar with a hydrometer. Almost everything that wasn’t a branch end flower was put in the larf bin. Lots of larf. I didn’t weight any of it dry and just the wet weight from a couple of branches. I plan on making bubble hash and extracts (oil and tincture) with the larf. Of course planning and doing are two separate issues. I have acquired all the proper gear and done lots of research. I am also experimenting with the drying environment. In the past I was using a direct fan to oscillate directly on the buds for 24 hrs. At 24hrs the buds were put in bags and also kept them in direct wind. After a couple of branch sets I decided to stop oscillating the fan and make the breeze indirect. I still put the buds in bags after 24 hrs and kept the wind indirect. It took a few days to get to 25% doing it this way, as opposed to 2 days in bags with direct wind. The slower is supposed to be better, but risks moldy buds. I’m not doing everything the same way so I’m curious to see if there are perceptible differences in jar aroma and taste. To further complicate things to eye-roll status, The staggered harvest should have improved the lower level of flowers to the same ripeness. I can honestly tell buds from the same plants taken at different levels. The lower ones are noticeably weaker. I won’t start testing to see if there is improvement till the flowers are at least 4 months cured.

Week 11 Day 71 (15/03/2021): No time to take pics today ✌️ Day 72 (16/03/2021): Looking good but more and more leaves are drying up or turning yellow. But at this point there is definitely no point in stressing the girls by removing them. Although the colours definitely look nice! Day 73 (17/03/2021)💧: Today will be the last watering for the girls so they have a few days to take up the last bits of moisture before harvest. I can’t believe how fast this grow went but I have definitely learned a lot from it. Day 74 (18/03/2021): They look so nice and colourful, definitely an interesting bunch of girls :D Can’t wait for the harvest and cure Day 75 (19/03/2021): No time to take pics today ✌️ Day 76 (20/03/2021): No time to take pics today but harvest day tomorrow!!!! Day 77 (21/03/2021): HARVEST DAY! What a great journey it has been growing these girls. They were so resilient and only started showing symptoms of deficiency in the last few weeks. They are absolutely covered in trichomes and smell very pungent. I think they will be super hard hitters! And it still amazes me how different they all are. Echo is even completely purple! Can’t wait to trim and dry these girls and will definitely make some bubble hash from all the trichomes on the leaves too 🤤 Will follow up with a review soon! (after they’ve cured for a bit)

Still only giving her water, still in the solo cup for now. She's growing really nice with minimal effort 😎

21/03 - la semilla estuvo hidratada en un vaso con agua por 24hs. 22/03 - la puse a germinar en papel humedo. 26/03 - Ya brotó y la introduje dentro de una maceta pequeña. 29/03 - Ya brotó. Por el momento se encuentra perfecta sin ningún problema. Tiene 15 días de vida desde que la puse a germinar. En la segunda semana de vida ya le empecé agregar un poco de agua con fertilizante. 0.5ml por 1L de agua. Durante la semana estuve regando un poco con eso.

this plant has a tendancy to throw out lime green leaves which throws you off a bit.. its quite a sensitive plant to ph im thinking. make sure you get the soil right. given the sheer density of buds it wants to grow on the colas i would suggest that its best to use a big light on this plant and if you are going to scrog properly space the budsites otherwise it just forms one big clump of buds in small plants.. hard to get light to everywhere.. genetics wise though damn! very quick vigorous growth, chunky looking white pistils, and looooooots of leaf production. thanks california and fastbuds

very strong smell this one and very big leafs drink 7 liters a week

😶

It was such a nice experience for me with this strain, first time ever growing her, she had a little bit of long internodes and thought she wasn't gonna be very productive, however the nuggets are so so hard and compact and the quality is just brutal, doesn't even look like she's s been outdoor grown, I love this strain for the rare strong smell like very sweet and floral with that strange diesel notes mix the sweet tones, I would love be growing her my whole life, I definitely will keep growing this lady FOR SURE!. thank you so much and hope you guys enjoy! 💎🙏🔝💚

A couple of weeks to finish line. Lovely trichomes all around the buds. The smell reminds me this strain's parent, Super Lemon Haze. It's awesome! Really happy with this grow 😊

Hi guys So end of week 4 and entering week 5 now. Few issues this week with the feeding of the plants. Dark phoenix are hungry well half of the plants are anyway 🤔🤷‍♂️ so I upped the feed to 1200ppm the dark phoenix didnt mind it as it needed it but my blue cheese suffered and has significant burnt tips on every leaf 😅 I will disconnect this from the auto feeder and flush and add half nutes by hand in a few days. Othere than that the plants buds are growing and getting frosty. Thanks for looking and happy growing guys👌💪💚 Day 37 flower I changed the marshydro tsl2000 to a 400watt hps to finish the job on the scrog along with the bloomplus bp2500 250watt led light. So cheese got burnt quite bad I totally disconnected it from auto pot system and feeding ph 6.5 water only for a week. Dark phoenix is really frosty now still loads of pistils standing on end and filling out now and smells amazing. The next 2 weeks I will keep feeding bloom and top max then I will start the flush on them. Happy growing guys.

Plants are looking very healthy overall Love plant 4 of the Dark Devil.. Haven't seen colours like this in a plant before.. This plant will have such nice bag appeal when dried and cured in sure 😊🤤😋 When touching the leaves around the bud it gives off an intense sweet and fruity aroma... Cannot wait until shes done HAPPY GROWING AND GOODLUCK 🌱😎👊👍✌️

A nice week without problems i have added a few basil seeds, but posible way too much i migth have to remove them, have you grow other plants on your pots? any advice?
