Alright ladies and gents, finished shooting the last scenes for my Christmas video contest 😅 I had a couple of divas on set, and you'll see who I'm talking about.. lol Alright; all three girls are getting ready for chop, it has been a lovely time and I've been patient, but I also wanted to make sure that I'm harvesting at the correct time. I purchased a jewel loupe off of Amazon and to my surprise all three girls had amber trichromes mixed with milky trichs. I went ahead and fed lightly and will be harvesting by day 75. I'll update with pictures of the trimmed flower before hanging. Blessing fellow cultivators! 🙌✌️ Edit:12-18-2017 I've finally uploaded my contest video, I really hope to win, and hope you all enjoy! 😸

Thursday 16th march day 59 Harvested a couple days earlier then planned as my humidity was getting a bit high and worried about risking mold I decided to chop, have to get a good dehumidifier soon, everything looking lovely, nice and dense with very strong fruity potent smell definitely the best looking plants I have grown to date not the biggest buds but they look quality, chopped plants whole gonna do my best to keep the temp and rh% in the dry room as close 60/60 as I can to get a nice slow dry, 🍁😎 I only took the wet weight from 1 plant back left plant was 270g with large fan leaves removed

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 08/11/2019 - Showing early flower development? 09/11/2019 - Gave her 0.500 ml plain water PH 6.5, she's starting to need more water and also due to 30c temps. She's also showing light green around the leafs maybe slight magnesium deficiency. 10/11/2019 - Yellow leafs showing up really fast so I 'flushed' the medium with 1l of 6.4 PH plain water, watered until some run off start to showing, change the watering plan again, now I only water when the pot feels light and dry at the bottom. 13/11/2019 - Pot was really light and dry at the bottom so I gave her 1.5l of water with 0,75ml of Grow, 1,5ml of Bloom and 0.75ml of Max BioBizz PH 6.5 until some runoff started to appear I think was too much again : also added a work-supplement led strip light. 14/11/2019 - Leaves looking pale raise the light to 45cm instead of the recommended by manufacture 25-40cm.

Yellow Zushi is growing very well and uniform, looks like she is training herself to stretch lower branches up. Looking healthy and growing fast. Thinking of topping main branch but not sure yet since I also want to start taking clones soon!

Started using Canna Boost about a week ago. Noticeable increase in growth and dank. Using 1ml per Liter in the reservoir. I was hesitant because of the high price but this stuff is great. After playing around with the Masterblend ratios and weights I feel pretty confident in my current mix. What I thought to be tip burn from nitrogen turned out to be the early stage of Calcium deficiency. As Nitrogen and Calcium come in the form of Calciumnitrate you can't drop the N without the Ca. To avoid this I bought Canna Mono Calcium with 11.6% Ca. Now I am able to dial the N down to 120-130ppm and keep my Calcium at about 150ppm. Anything lower than 120ppm of Calcium starts to show deficiency symptoms. Same goes for the Nitrogen, 120ppm is the absolut minimum right now. I am also going to increase the Magnesium to 50ppm with the next tank refill. I am pretty happy with the Masterblend 4-18-38, Calnit 15,5-0-0 and Epsom Salt bundle. You don't have to buy a seperate flowering blend if you get a mono calcium fertilizer. The plant loves the Masterblend. Looks way better then when using Canna AB...

La White Runtz ha raggiunto quasi 80 cm di altezza dando precedenza al gambo principale e meno ai rami laterali, nessuna dei semi di Anesia è stato sottoposto ad allenamento 🏋️‍♂️ e finiranno il ciclo così, entrano nella terza settimana di fioritura, ho aumentato a 3ml al litro di Canna Terra Flores salendo a 1650 circa e cercherò di diminuire azoto dalla prossima volta…ci vediamo nei prossimi aggiornamenti 😎🤞✨💚🌱

I used overdrive fertilizer again this week. My God, girls get more beautiful like this. The last weeks make me very happy.😍🌷💐💥⚘️👽👽🎍 From now on, I will be very careful because the more I improve the conditions, the better results I get Especially the temperature difference between night and day. humidity Box ambient temperature 👊👊💧♠️

Plants made it through the hurricane that came up the east coast and have been looking great! Trichomes are starting to show up left and right while the buds get bigger each day. The smell on the blueberry and mother of Berry is very fruity, while gelato x gmo smells more like diesel. Will most likely give plants another round of Jobes organics to help them through flower

Actualización 05/10/2024 ¡Hola, growers! Perdón por no poder compartir las semanas completas, pero poco a poco volvemos a la normalidad. Las fotos que ven corresponden al día 01/10/24 y, como pueden ver, están llenas de terpenos y tricomas por todas partes. Tanto la Fruit Gum como la Biscotti x Candy Rain son dos de las cepas más resinosas que he cultivado y, además, desprenden un olor increíblemente fuerte. La Fruit Gum tiene esos toques dulces y nostálgicos, como a chicle de mascar, que me transportan directamente a mi infancia. En cuanto a la Biscotti x Candy Rain, su aroma es como el de una clásica galleta americana casera, ¡muy intenso! Ambas cepas me están impresionando mucho por su resinosidad y aromas únicos. Cabe destacar que las genéticas de Uktha Genetics me han sorprendido gratamente; los resultados están siendo fantásticos. Eso sí, estas cepas comen como camiones, pero mientras se mantenga un control exhaustivo de las fertilizaciones y del medio de cultivo, no hay problema de sobrefertilización. Pronto cortaremos una de las plantas que está bastante adelantada. Espero que disfruten tanto como yo este proceso y, como siempre, ¡buenos humos para todos! 🌱💨

End of Week 16 (9th week of flower) Final week of flower. Turned the lights wattage down at the end of this week to 400W to mimmic the sun moving further away from the earth during Autumn and Winter seasons. This also creates an overall cooler temperature signalling to the ladies that the end is in sight. This also protects the trichomes and ensures they don't get damaged and also dropped the The ladies are fading more and more into their vibrant autumn shades. With hues of pink and purple that makes me so excited! Feeding just PH correct water until harvest, which is around the corner. We are currently on day 63 of flower and checked the trichomes - just a few specs of amber and the cloudy trichomes are more prominent although there are still some clear ones. We will push to harvest within the next couple of days, around day 67-69 Pest Report: None Smell Report: Staaaaanky!

🌿 BHO EXTRACTION & CURING DIARY — INTRODUCTION Welcome, my friends — growers, learners, supporters, skeptics, and the simply curious. 💚 This space is dedicated to one thing only: honest documentation. This diary is a living journal focused specifically on BHO extraction, purging, curing, and cold curing, documented over time, across multiple batches and extraction runs, using a consistent method and philosophy. Here, I will be sharing: • different BHO extraction runs • different batches and materials • different curing timelines • different cold cure expressions • and how time, temperature, and patience shape the final medicine Each entry you see here may come from a different extraction run, but all are made using: • the same extraction method • the same safety standards • the same respect for the plant • and the same refusal to rush the process This diary is not about hype. It’s not about chasing trends or textures. It’s about understanding. ⸻ WHAT THIS DIARY IS (AND IS NOT) This diary is: • educational • transparent • process-focused • built slowly over time This diary is not: • a tutorial for beginners • a shortcut guide • a recommendation for unsafe practices Everything shared here is for educational and documentation purposes only, aimed at helping people understand why different BHO textures exist, how curing affects stability, and what patience actually does to medicine. ⸻ ❄️ WHY EXTRACTION & CURING ARE DOCUMENTED TOGETHER Extraction does not end when the solvent leaves. Purging, curing, and cold curing are extensions of the extraction itself. The final expression — waxy, crumble, sap, full-melt — is written by time, not by force. That’s why this diary will continue to evolve: • new extractions will be added • new curing timelines will be documented • new textures will appear • and comparisons will be made honestly and clearly Nothing is hidden. Nothing is rushed. ⸻ 🌱 HOW TO READ THIS DIARY Each sample or entry represents: • one extraction run • one curing path • one moment in time Some entries may look similar. Some may look completely different. That’s the point. Same method. Different runs. Different expressions. ⸻ 🌈 WHAT’S COMING NEXT As this diary continues, you’ll see: • additional BHO batches • longer cold cures • side-by-side comparisons • deeper dives into texture evolution • and real observations, not assumptions This is a long-form project. It grows the same way good medicine does — slowly. Thank you for being here, for reading with an open mind, and for respecting the process. More to come. Always. 🍯 SAMPLE 01 — WAXY / FULL-MELT EXPRESSION (01) This first expression is the one that leaned clearly toward a waxy, buttery, full-melt profile, while keeping the same golden color spectrum as the rest of the batch. At first glance, what stands out is the uniform gold tone — no darkening, no oxidation, no cloudy patches. The color remains consistent throughout, which already tells a story of a clean extraction and a proper long cure. 🔍 Visual & Physical Characteristics • Soft, waxy exterior with a satin / semi-gloss finish • Oil separation visible on the surface, especially when slightly warmed • Interior is drier and more structured, showing light aeration • Holds shape on the tool but melts immediately on contact with heat • Very easy to scoop, fold, and stretch What’s interesting here — and something many people miss — is that the oil separation is not a flaw. On the contrary, it’s a sign that: • terpenes are still active and mobile • cannabinoids have stabilized during cure • the matrix is alive and expressive This is exactly what a properly cured mixed-spectrum wax should look like. Why This Texture Happened This waxy expression likely came from a combination of: • minimal agitation early in the cure • balanced terpene retention • slow THCa nucleation • gentle post-scrape handling Even though it comes from the same run as the other samples, the chemistry chose this path — and I let it be. No forcing, no whipping, no rushing. 👃 Aroma & Flavor This one is LOUD — in the best way. • bright upfront notes • layered sweetness • earthy depth underneath • lingering resinous finish On low-temp dabs, the flavor spreads across the palate instead of peaking all at once. You don’t get a single dominant note — you get movement. 🌬️ Melt & Consumption This is true full-melt behavior: • melts clean with no residue • smooth on the lungs • fast onset but not aggressive • very controlled, medicinal effect Perfect for: • flavor-chasing • daytime to balanced evening use • low-temperature dabs • anyone who appreciates terpene expression over brute force 🧠 Important Note Even though this sample looks softer and more “oily” on the surface, it is fully purged, fully cured, and fully stable. 🧀 SAMPLE 02 — DRY / CRUMBLE FULL-MELT Four-Month Cold Cure Expression (02) This second expression comes from a different extraction run and a different batch, processed independently — but using the same extraction method, the same philosophy, and the same safety standards explained throughout this diary. While Sample 01 and Sample 02 are not from the same run, they are the result of the same technique applied consistently over time, allowing a clear comparison of how curing duration and natural stabilization shape the final expression. This batch was allowed to cold cure for four full months, double the time of Sample 01. What time did here is not subtle. This sample naturally evolved into a drier, crumble-leaning structure, while maintaining the same golden color spectrum and true full-melt behavior. ⸻ 🔍 Visual & Physical Characteristics • Dry, brittle texture that breaks cleanly by hand • Thin, flaky plates with sharp edges • Matte-to-light-sparkle surface (microcrystalline structure) • No greying, no darkening, no oxidation • Warm, consistent gold tones throughout The crumble forms are not whipped, forced, or mechanically altered. This structure is purely the result of time, temperature, and molecular organization during a long, undisturbed cold cure. ⸻ ❄️ What Cold Curing Does (And Why Time Matters) Cold curing is the process of allowing an extract to stabilize slowly at low temperatures, without agitation and without added heat. Over time: • residual gases fully dissipate • cannabinoids reorganize into a more crystalline structure • terpenes bind, settle, or slowly migrate • moisture and volatility stabilize naturally At four months, this batch clearly shows: • advanced THCa crystallization • reduced surface oil migration • increased structural rigidity • extremely clean and predictable melt behavior Nothing was rushed. Nothing was pushed. This is patience doing the work. ⸻ Purging & Stability Notes This batch was: • fully purged before curing • then allowed to off-gas naturally over several months • never reheated • never aggressively reworked The result is a concentrate that is: • chemically stable • mechanically dry • aromatically refined • exceptionally smooth on melt Time is the final purge. ⸻ 👃 Aroma & Flavor Profile Compared to Sample 01, this expression leans: • deeper • more grounded • more “hash-forward” The high notes are still present, but they arrive later. The flavor unfolds slowly, with a heavier base and a longer, more settled finish. Think: • less brightness • more depth • less movement • more weight ⸻ 🌬️ Melt & Effects Despite the dry crumble appearance, this is true full-melt: • liquefies cleanly • leaves no residue • produces no harshness • delivers very controlled vapor Effects lean toward: • full-body relaxation • pain relief • evening / nighttime use • grounding and calm Same method — different expression. ⸻ 🧠 Important Reminder Crumble does not mean: • lower quality • over-purged • terpene-less • or harsh In this case, it means fully matured through time. Different run. Same method. Same color spectrum. Same melt. More time. ⸻ 🌈 CLOSING REFLECTION — CONSISTENT METHOD, DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS Sample 01 (2-month cold cure) shows movement, aroma, and surface oil expression. Sample 02 (4-month cold cure) shows structure, depth, and crystalline stability. Neither is better. Neither is worse. They are simply different chapters written by time, using the same language of patience and respect. This is why I don’t rush medicine. This is why I let chemistry speak. And this is why patience will always outperform speed.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Welcome to week 3 of flower for these fine ladies! As the stretching period comes to and end in about a week or so I'm excited to see the plant's develop their flowers. Some of the plants have already developed quited the frost for their age and as the cycle continues its just going to get more pronounced. Some of the plants are giving off a faint smell now mostly the Banana Smoothie smelling of cream and bananas so far. Overall I'm really pleased with what's going on so far and can't wait for further development of the flowers! Huge shout out to both Hidden Vault Genetics as well as @MarsHydroLED for all the work they put in to make growing a breeze Extra special shout out goes to all my followers and people who stop into the diary alike. Keep inspiring to grow! -The Projexx Day#15F Ladies continue their stretching, will be looking to remove some leaves to open the plants up soon. Day#16F Watered ladies 4L each at 550PPM. Things are moving along as the plants keep stretching like crazy Day#17F Ladies are producing more and more size on their cotton balls while stretching up and stacking hard. Day#18F Ladies are producing quite the frost levels for their age. Watered 4L each at 550PPM. Day#19F Pictures N/A. Plants continue to stretch and stack. Day#20F Ladies look like their slowing down on their stretch hopefully haha. Watered ladies 4L each at 550PPM. Day#21F The plants are still stretching abit while putting mass on their flowers slowly. Wont be long till we see some giant flowers covered in trichomes! Recap: Things went very well this week, some of the plants are starting to put out a smell and everyone's pumping trichomes like crazy! With about a week or so left on the stretching period I will be looking to place my secondary nets very very soon. I'm looking forward to seeing what the plants smell like and how they continue to develop their flowers!
