Getting rather toasty in my sealed unairconditioned garage/car port grow 90f+. Having to adapt to extreme conditions is always challenging but I find silica works very well to help the old girls deal. Let it be said I much prefer the winter here in southern california for growing my buds!!! Anyone got any tips for growing in this kinda heat?

Expecting a awesome top shelf smoke from this girl, smell is mid way, a lot less than other strains, so it make a good option to stealth, but not the best. Superb strain, will update on the effects after dry and fully cured, high is supposed to be mild and functional, this is my first medical strain with high CBD, super curious. ---WET WEIGHT--- 421G ---DRY WEIGHT--- 95G just flowers000 ---UPDATE 2 . After harvest--- -A -Jaring After drying till the stems almost snap, in a rack, I separed the flowers, weighted and jared for cure. -B-Vape report. Vaped with a Davinci IQ, about .5 from the uncurred buds, from 350f to 430f max temp. Since the begging of the session you feel this is a special strain, taste is 5/5 vapor production is insane 5/5, and the effect as discribed by RQS, a stress killer that allows you to funcione normally, think it as a mild relaxant, is what i was looking for so super satisfyed! As you increase the vaping temps you feel the effects stronger, basically is a good body sensation and head tranquility, no paranoia, no confusion, no psychoactive stone. The side effects i feel is the classic dry mouth, not too strong though. -C-Joint smoke. Nice and smooth it hits with a mild sensation, very relaxing, no couch lock, mental trip or anything, i’m certain is similar to canna-tonic some how, very enjoyable, sweet taste tones of citrus earthy and woody. -D-Bong hit. Not a fan of bongs, i feel vaping gives a better overall experience, though for the sake of the diary, i did a bong hit to check, filled a full bowl and hitted mutiple times, the smoke is smooth, no harshness, though is a bit more intense than smoking a joint. ---UPDATE 3 . Final— Well guys, this concludes my diary, with this final update. After two weeks cure, i feel is already cured for the most part, one more week and all the cruise part will be done, after that it continues but slowly. It was fun to grow, and top shelf smoke. Note that is not a recreative smoke, is functional and enjoyable, i feel that if you have a super strong strain you can dilute in to this one and have a more controlled high. Smoking, vaping in multiple temperatures and i could still function, work, speak on the phone and think clear. Looking for a Stress Killer, high in CBD, that will melt your stress and concerns so you can go on with your duties and enjoy a nice smoke, give this strain a go, and let me know so i can follow your diary and know your opinion. Cheers everyone and thanks for those who contributed to the diary in any manner, or passed by. Happy growing always. 00

The weak plant is a disaster but learning making the masters, right. The healthy plant is fantastic, smell well and flowers are growing.

Made the flip to flower to start this week. Did a bunch of lst to get the side branches booming for the Scrog. Put a second net right above her to start things off spacing and structre wise. Second she starts to stretch its scrog game on! Got her on a well balanced diet to support her transition period. Can't wait to see her explode and take off! Start rowing me out some colas! Treated her with lost coast as a preventative. Next up us dr zhymes in 5 days. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Made a big error this week and forgot to water these guys for about 5 days. They did not enjoy it and dried up a lot, but theyre not dead yet! The Zkittlez shouldnt have been affected too badly cos it was nearly done, i hope the lemon ak will revover tho and keep bulking up. I am going to cut down the Zkittlez this week, and leave the lemon a couple more. It looks much bulkier just not dense so gonna leave it a little longer.

The fimming does what I wished. The single headbud, „twin‘ed“ into 3 headbuds. The fimming also stops the vegetation, but most times luckily only the node of the headbud! Then does the twinheadbuds build a roof-crown with the other nodes.

I harvested the 2 last gorilla Zkittlez and 1 blue sherbet x purple punch. One gorilla Zkittlez was more one the sativa "shape". I let the buds dry on a net during 3/4 days after that few days in a wood box. After few days pit the buds on a jar with an hygrometer.

🎨 Monster Marker – Week 3 🌱 Last week, I accidentally snapped the main stem during low-stress training 😅✂️. Luckily, she’s healed up perfectly 💪🌿, and now the side branches are just as tall as the main one – looks really cool! 😎 The smell is absolutely insane 🤯🔥, and I can’t wait to see what she will produce! 🌸✨ --- 🎨 Monster Marker – Woche 3 🌱 Letzte Woche habe ich beim Low-Stress-Training leider den Hauptstamm abgebrochen 😅✂️. Zum Glück hat sich die Pflanze perfekt erholt 💪🌿, und jetzt sind die Seitentriebe genauso hoch wie der Haupttrieb – sieht richtig cool aus! 😎 Der Geruch ist absolut pervers 🤯🔥, und ich bin mega gespannt, was am Ende dabei rauskommt! 🌸✨

3x3 Clone Tent (Frosted Gelato, G-41, Frozay Pie, Black Cherry Gas) - Organishield foliar IPM and Soil Program watering treatments. Top dressed using BuildAFlower, worm castings, and FF Fruit and Flower top dressing. Week 3 defoliation in flower. Adjusted scrog netting upwards 2-3" for continued plant structure support heading into week 3 flower. Combination of cold weather, low ph, and insufficient levels of mag/cal micronutrients. Gave clones a feeding of FF Beastie Bloomz with Cal/Mag to help with macro/micro nutrients. End of week update - more bud development stacking nicely with leaves beginning to turn a variety of colors mostly reds and purples. Beautiful. 2x4 Tent (Humboldt Seed Blueberry Cupcake/TH Seeds French Macaron) - Organishield foliar IPM and Soil Program watering treatments. Applied new 2x4 AC Infinity netting for scrog plant structure support. BBCC began showing signs of rust on older lower leaves. Combination of cold weather, low ph, and insufficient levels of mag/cal micronutrients. Adjusted ph and feed FF Beastie Bloomz with Cal/Mag. End of week update - BBCC recovering nicely after treatment and nutrient feeding. Continue to take advantage of flower stretch by fanning out growth filling in empty areas of the scrog netting. 2x2 Tent (Afgooey Autos) - first application of Organishield foliar IPM and Soil Program watering treatments. Need 2-3 more days before transplant into final three gallon grow bags. Cuttings are in day 12 using peat pellets. No visible sign of rooting yet. 2x2 UPDATE: Transplanted three Afgooey Autos into 3 gallon fabric bags with FF Happy Frog, Light Warrior, and Natures Living Soil for autos and Mykos for roots. Two days later, the plants are thriving. Day 13 and cuttings beginning to show first signs of root development in peat pellets. Continue to mist and monitor for next two days before transplanting into dixie cups. End of week update - WE HAVE ROOTS. Continued vibrant growth of transplanted autos. Because of space restrictions and volume of combined grows, I will top autos in the next few days. Not normally recommended, but I have topped autos previously and if done early enough the females should recover fully prior to flowering.

Day 64. Another week on the calendar! Time is flying but also feels like an eternity. Still can't tell if there is any signs of light stress from swapping to the QB this late in the grow. I do think the bag seed in veg sharing the tent is possibly showing signs of trouble (https://imgur.com/a/9Sn0gEZ) and would love if someone reading this could take a look and let me know. Other than that, nothing new today, won't water again until tomorrow maybe the day after. I've noticed the environment in my tent has become very consistent since swapping out the blurple. Not sure if it's connected but the RH has dropped to a steady 44% ish and the temp never climbs over 25. Loving it so far! Day 64 update, my loupe and PPM meter arrived. Tested the run off and found it was over 2200 PPM. Flushed her with around 5L of pH'd water, got the run off to 1000. Leaving it there for now as it seems to be a recommended amount for late flower. Will probably only give her plain water for the rest of her time, maybe one more light feeding, then continue to flush it down in the next couple of weeks. Took some test shots with the loupe but sadly I don't think the magnification is strong enough to clearly identify the stages of individual trichomes. Maybe I can play around with it when I take her out of the tent again but that won't be for some time. Let's see how it goes! Day 65. It's almost been 24 hours since the panic flush. She seems to be doing fine other than showing stronger signs of yellowing in the fan leaves. Not sure if its something to worry about or part of the end of life fade? Tried to get a few different trich shots from various flowers but again, the loupe is probably not strong enough to accurately tell. Wondering whether I should try to treat the yellowing or leave it. Day 66. The yellowing continues but at this point there is probably not much to do about it. Gave her a small feeding PPM'd to 300 to see if it helps get her over the finishing line. Tried checking trichomes and can't really tell if some are cloudy or all still clear. Definitely no amber yet though. Hoping for a couple more weeks at most before the chop! She puts off different levels of smell day to day as well. Was a bit more pungent today, very nice smelling. Day 67. She hasn't lost as much leaf as I was expecting considering the last few days progress. Trichomes still look a while away from turning and mostly looking clear. Still has lots of white pistils too. Humidity has been a bit higher than I'd like since watering but I try to keep good air movement and a negative pressure in the tent which will hopefully reduce risk of bud rot. Smelling good but wish she'd have covered herself with some more trichomes! Day 68. All the yellowing/dying leaves have given up and fell off. Not worried as I think I have spotted the first signs of amber trichomes on the main cola and one other. Would love someone to take a look and let me know! Day 69 (nice). Going along fine. The fading seems to have slowed a bit and haven't noticed it spreading to the remaining sugar leaves. Definitely going to give her another 7 days and assess then if she needs to be chopped. Thank you to everyone who replied to my question regarding that. As someone said, if I had already started flushing, the timing was perfect, and luckily I had already been flushing her, so I will continue to do so. I gave her a heavy watering today with some runoff and I might do once more before she finishes? She isn't the frostiest bitch out there but she's mine and she taught me a lot. Hopefully some of what I've learned with her will transition well to photoperiods and the bag seed that is vegging next to her. I'll flip her into flower once this girl is done. Day 70. All her leaves are starting to fade now. There are still a lot of white pistils that concerns me about the timing. I feel like the plant will fade and yellow before it fully matures. The trichomes still look the same to me but I need to get better close ups really. She doesn't seem too frosty in recent days, not sure if it's in my head or not though. Still, hoping for a chop at the weekend if she finishes up, otherwise I might be forced to due to how fast she is fading. I think I also see some purpling on the leaves? Is that from the temps or from the nutrients being used up?

I'm happy with the progress they have made, all have responded well to defoliation and LST. I'll be adding a few more light nutrients at some point this week. The gorilla zkittles is shorter than the rest but looks very sturdy and has plenty of bud showing already, I think this is because it started flowering maybe 7days before the rest and in them 7days the rest shot up rapidly! I'll update daily and try get some nice videos with lights out.
