My favorite strain for some reason. It always survives, I thought one seed died. So I planted another...week later the other one grew. Survived mealy root bugs and all the insect soap, neem oil both altered the pH massive 5 to 9 fluctuation burned other plants but she kept going. She's smells like chewing gum fresh when I grind her up. I only dry for a day or over night because I do 4 smaller colas that don't take much time to dry. Got about an 1/2 oz or something, I trim and smoke as I go along, my grow tent is like my refrigerator , I just take some when I need it. 😎👍

All 6 seeds germinated nicely

This is the 5th ILGM OG kush I've grown, the first I've tried to top. Now I know that I topped about 2 or 3 nodes to soon. But what I know from the other og's I've grown, buds will be fat and sticky and from the looks of her she is going to be all bud!!

....Understanding Electrical Conductivity Electrical conductivity measures a material’s ability to transmit electric current, which in the context of gardening, relates to the soil or nutrient solution’s ion content. In simpler terms, EC indicates how salty the environment is around the roots of a plant. This “saltiness” is crucial because it affects the plant’s osmotic pressure, which in turn influences nutrient uptake and overall plant health. The Science Behind EC At its core, EC measures the presence of soluble ions like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and nitrates – all vital nutrients for plant growth. These ions carry electrical charges, and their movement creates an electrical current, detectable as conductivity. High EC levels typically mean a high concentration of dissolved ions, whereas low EC levels indicate fewer nutrients are available. The Impact of Electrical Conductivity on Plant Growth The relationship between EC and plant growth is a delicate balance. Just the right EC level can enhance nutrient uptake, bolster plant health, and increase yields. However, when EC levels stray too far from the optimal range, they can lead to nutrient imbalances, osmotic stress, and even plant death. Nutrient Uptake and EC Levels Plants absorb nutrients from the soil or water through their roots, a process influenced by the surrounding EC levels. Ideal EC levels help create an optimal environment for this exchange, ensuring plants receive the nutrients they need without exerting excessive energy. High EC Levels: A Double-Edged Sword While a certain level of dissolved ions is beneficial, excessively high EC levels can harm plants. High salinity can draw water out of plant cells, leading to dehydration and nutrient lockout – a condition where plants cannot absorb essential nutrients despite their presence. Low EC Levels: Undernourished Gardens Conversely, low EC levels can starve plants of necessary nutrients, stunt growth, and lead to underdeveloped or diseased plants. Maintaining an optimal EC range is crucial for healthy plant development. Measuring and Adjusting Electrical Conductivity Understanding the importance of EC is one thing, but applying this knowledge in the garden or greenhouse requires practical steps. Regular monitoring and adjustment can ensure that plants remain in a conducive growth environment. Tools for Measuring EC Gardeners can use various tools to measure EC, from simple handheld meters to more sophisticated systems integrated into hydroponic setups. Regular monitoring allows for timely adjustments to soil or nutrient solutions, ensuring optimal EC levels. Adjusting EC for Optimal Growth Adjusting EC involves changing the concentration of nutrients in the soil or solution. In hydroponics, this might mean diluting or concentrating the nutrient solution. In soil, amendments may be added or flushed with water to correct EC levels. Practical Applications: EC in Various Growing Environments The application of EC knowledge varies across different growing environments, from traditional soil-based gardens to modern hydroponic systems. Soil Gardening In soil, EC measurements can help diagnose nutrient imbalances and guide fertilization practices. Amending soil with organic matter or flushing with water can adjust EC levels to better support plant growth. Hydroponics and Aquaponics In hydroponic and aquaponic systems, where plants are grown in water-based solutions, maintaining optimal EC levels is crucial for nutrient availability. These systems allow for precise control of EC, directly influencing plant health and yield. Greenhouse Cultivation In greenhouses, EC monitoring can help manage the nutritional status of various plants, ensuring that each receives the right nutrient mix for optimal growth. Automated systems can provide real-time EC adjustments based on plant needs. Navigating Challenges: Overcoming EC-Related Issues While maintaining optimal EC levels can significantly enhance plant growth, gardeners may encounter challenges such as fluctuating conditions, equipment malfunctions, or environmental stresses. Regular monitoring, combined with a solid understanding of each plant’s specific needs, can mitigate these issues. Conclusion: The Conductive Path to Lush Gardens Electrical conductivity, though an invisible factor, is a cornerstone of successful gardening and farming. By understanding and managing EC levels, gardeners and farmers can profoundly influence the health and productivity of their plants. As we continue to explore the nuances of plant growth, the role of EC stands out as a testament to the marriage of science and nature in cultivating life. Whether in soil, water, or air, mastering the art of electrical conductivity can unlock the full potential of our green companions, leading to bountiful harvests and vibrant gardens.

Harvested at day 76, after 72h of darkness. Very good yield! 3.3 pounds of dry buds + 1 pound of trim The 2 keepers yielded 366 and 342g of premium quality smoke. Very uplifting and energizing high :) Love it!

Started flushing however acting on more experienced advice going to refeed and continue bloom for a while longer. Buds are really solid compared to previous grows. Really excited to do final weigh in at the end of this grow and only want to beat my personal best for weight. Hope the 5 days of flushing didn't hurt her too much as leaves have become a little brittle from over watering.

doin gooood 👌🏻 Responded well to the topping and LST. First sign of pistils today. Should turn out great, hoping for a nice stretch soon 🙏

Cresce cresce cresce ....speriamo si fermi sono arrivato al limite di distanza dalla lampada . Ho paura di bruciarle con la troppa luce . Comunque ha molti rami belli resistenti. Speriamo che esploda anche lei con gemme pesanti ! 🍀

Intermediate Results Overview This grow was intense! Setting up the grow consumed so much of my time and focus that I started slacking at work, and it took me a month to get back on track. But hey, what’s the point of a job if it gets in the way of growing? 😉 In the end, everything worked out, and I gained invaluable experience. This was my first grow using coco coir. At first, I didn’t get it, but then it just clicked! Now I’m hooked: "I’m here to stay." Coco is more controlled than soil, flushes easily, and you can introduce beneficial microbes, which thrive in it. My main takeaway from this grow? If you buy coco, don’t forget CalMag! Next time, I’ll definitely install HEPA filters at the intake. The amount of dust was insane, and the grow box pulls air like a vacuum cleaner. Watching the timelapse, you can see the box sucking in every bit of dust. I vacuumed the intake filters weekly. The plant was incredibly sticky, but that also meant it caught a lot of lint and fibers between trichomes, especially visible under a microscope. Smoking microplastics? No, thank you! --- On CO2 CO2 only works if everything else is dialed in. If the plant experiences stress from deficiencies or overfeeding, you can forget about it. Since CO2 supplementation requires turning off the exhaust fan, it’s hard to manage temperature and humidity. The plant releases so much moisture that RH jumps to 80% within minutes. It’s doable, but definitely a challenge. --- On Magnetic Fields No clue what’s happening here yet, but it’s fascinating! I’ll test again with a control sample. --- Nutrients Dreams do come true—I’ve tested almost everything Advanced Nutrients offers. It wasn’t all smooth sailing; their feeding charts need adjustments for your conditions, and you usually need to feed less than recommended. Overall, I’d say the nutrients performed 100%, and I see no reason to switch. I’ll stick with them for future grows. --- Strain This strain is reliable, though not the most productive. It flowered exactly as advertised and delivered a frosty finish. It tolerated all my mistakes like a champ—especially mold. Despite an abandoned SCROG plan turning the plant into a bouquet, there wasn’t a single mold spot, even in the densely packed lower buds that got almost no light. Zero mold issues! --- Aroma As advertised: pine, wood, and citrus. At first, I thought it smelled like grapefruit, but now I’m leaning toward bergamot. Bergamot with a classic weed aroma—a recognizable twist on the usual scent. During the grow, the smell was strong, but the carbon filter handled it perfectly. --- Flavor It’s too early to say, but the flavor is definitely there! Embarrassingly, all my past harvests tasted the same—like nothing. Just smoke. This one has a distinct sour taste. I’m excited to see how it develops after curing. --- Effect Too early for a full review, but I love what I’ve tried so far. The high lasts about three hours, with euphoria and relaxation. It’s the perfect evening strain. I’ve smoked a lot over the years, but I’ve never experienced true euphoria—until now. Guess I’ve been stuck with garbage and ditch weed before. 😅 It’s not a strain for productivity or chores, but it’s perfect for chilling, watching something, or chatting. No anxiety, just great vibes. It feels like having a beer after a long day: you relax, and life feels good again. --- Roots The roots were healthy—maybe too healthy! While the AirPot (20L) prevented root circling, it didn’t eliminate it entirely. There were dead zones at the bottom where roots circled around the perimeter. A dense root mat formed at the bottom (so dense you couldn’t poke a finger through it), which likely contributed to salt buildup. Breaking through that mat required more water, and I suspect this caused EC to spike 1.5x the next day if there was no runoff. Next time, I’ll mix some pumice with the substrate at the bottom, about 3–4 cm deep. --- Timelapse I only got the timelapse running after the switch to flowering, so it’s not from the beginning. Still, it’s an incredibly useful tool for understanding growth rates. I’ll definitely use it for future grows. Comparing yesterday to today is one thing, but rewinding a week to see how things were is game-changing. I recommend it! You can even use an old phone with a timelapse app if your camera doesn’t support it by default. --- What’s Next I’ve grown fat buds before, but I’ve always neglected curing. This time, I’m doing it by the book with full control. Drying in the grow box with RH controlled at 50–60% (averaging 55%) for a slow, even dry. Temps are kept between 20–23°C, with frequent venting to keep it below 21°C for terpene preservation. After 7–10 days, when small stems snap with a characteristic sound, I’ll trim and jar them with humidity sensors. For the first two weeks, I’ll burp the jars twice daily, then reduce to once daily for the next two weeks. After that, I’ll monitor the RH sensors and adjust as needed. I’ll share the details after curing is complete. After drying, I’ll weigh the buds, take photos, and share another post in a month or two after curing to report on the flavor and aroma. For now, I’m taking a breather, fine-tuning my setup, and preparing for my next grow: Wizard Trees - Zangria S1.

Wtf look at the second vid

Had a light leak so it just now starting to flower just glad it didn’t hurm Plus dealing with spider mite and my veg area next to my flower tent 🙄

. 🌱 : LST and defoliation on day 49 💧 : 4l day 53, no pk13/14, 4l day 55 💡 : Dli: 40 mol/m²/d 🤔 : After optimizing many things, I suspect that I'm adding pk 13/14 too early, which then leads to a magnesium deficiency due to too much potassium from pk 13/14 and calcium from the tap water (16.1°dH, calcium 80.8 mg/l, magnesium 21.0 mg/l).

She's really made up growth this last week. Week ended with a nice growth spurt. All caught up it looks like.

It started october twenty third, harvested, on day eighty.
