Overall I’m happy with how the Blue Dream from Crop Kings came out, despite losing one plant to some odd characteristics likely brought on by being a new grower, but upon receiving input from others, the genetics of that particular plant may have been a little off. I picked a small bud 1 week prior to harvest, and let it dry for 5 days, the wife and I smoked it while camping and thoroughly enjoyed the high it produced. Obviously the on the scale weight is way off at 1338 G, lots of moisture and tons of stem weight. Will update with a total next week when drying is complete. After drying for a week I have now jarred and weighed the final result, and the final tally is 140.77 g or 4.969oz. A very energetic and long lasting high.

August 31 - Day 35 Getting there. Everything is basically the same besides the topping I did on August 29th (Day 33). The girls were on their 7th node going on 8 and I topped 3 down to 5 nodes and 1 to 6. Lost at least 5 days to a week in growth on that. But I didn't feel like they were growing enough daily to top them sooner Temp - 78 Humidity - 63 Wattage - 110 EC - 600

This lady is all flowers and frost now. No more stretching so I haven't needed to do any more bending. Terrific canopy out of this lady. Man the trichomes and bud structre are golden! I'm happy as a pig in shit with her. I reduced the nitrogen dose again. I also stopped giving them vigorous. Its a pure bloom mix now as these ladies are booming with flowers. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Harvested the Z-Up yesterday on the 13.08.2025. Germinated 27.04.2025, so it tookl 108 days. Couldve been even more but i wanted to make space for ne next run. If i do this genetics again, i will probably lolipop more than i did in this run (couldnt really get in the branches in the tent). She stretched quite a bit and developed some nice Headbuds all around. Its drying right now in the tent on some cardboard. The next run going the oreoz(Kannabia) cut i have from previous run, with Permanent marker (cap junky) and Candy Store (Ethos Genetics) Peace.

They are going slow but steady. Holding back on watering to help fight the gnats. They were with too many last week. Some yellow points because of an 'on the limit' foliar feed. Nothing to worry about. Still very lush greens. I'm thinking the main reason for their slower growth, is the fan that is on high. My mission from the start s to get thick stalks and branches, to facilitate larger buds. Also, I'm pushing the SP 3000 to its max for the age of my plants, they don't have to reach for the light, resulting in shorter, bushier plants. I don't mind, I think the flowering stretch will make up for that and fill the tent. Still very happy with the SP-3000 from Mars Hydro, a much more constant and manageable climate in the tent, a dream to work with. I made a thank you video for @MarsHydroLED, of course, to also show off my music. I'm thinking one or two more weeks before resetting the light schedule for flowering. I'm already late and if another week will deliver bigger and more buds, I will give them what they need. For those living in Europe, wanting to try super soil, see my recipe in the images. Thank you for following and your likes and support! It really keeps me motivated. Big Hug Bud

Well, this was a interesting first journey.... the buds finished drying today, 5 days drying, added pics and vids. Just curing to go.... ah nice buds :) Edit: i forgot to mention i went over the buds when i harvested them, and checked / removed any impurities, like gnats caught in the sticky bud.... picked em clean with tweezers... 👍 Edit: needed to air/dry out the buds abit more, and get some Boveda Humidipak for curing.... it's looking good... i'll update with some pics of trimmed, cured buds 😎 The buds turned out beautiful, pungent, pine, berry, citrusy, daytime, medical..... this has theoretical 1:1 - 21% THC, 19% CBD, so it's not going to give u a knockout high.... its medical grade 1:1 ....... side effects - happy, relaxed. haha :) I weighed it dry and came up with about 123.32g (4.35oz) ... i used abit of guesswork in the weight, not to concerned with weight, as to quality.... (that weight is with the test buds added in, +-15g.) .... you can guess the weight from the pics and vids, haha I really enjoyed growing this.... i found the website by looking up the seeds, decided to start a grow diary, it's my first grow, i made alot of mistakes and growdiaries really helped alot, joined a chat group with some other really good growers. Edit - Day 111 - added vid/pic, Been curing for a week, burp and roll em abit twice a day....... smell and taste nicer each day, 👍 Edit - Day 112 - added good vid of trimmed up test bud, beautiful ...... I hope You enjoyed the Diary..... Good Buds 😎

Hey everyone 😃. Week after week, both phenotypes become more beautiful and beautiful 😍. Pheno 1 is clearly my favorite color klar. Let's start the week: Flowering day 49 Both plants were checked for health and the trichomes were checked with a microscope. (70% milky, 20% amber and 10% clear. Flowering day 50 Today both were poured with 1.2 l each, of course now without any sewing material so that she would use the rest until the harvest 👍. Flowering day 51 Today both were checked, the humidifier refilled and fresh osmosis water filled into the tank. Flowering day 52 Both were checked for their health and in the end time for mold, everything looks great 😍👍. Flowering day 53 Again 1.2 l per plant were poured and the trichomes checked, it will run out for about 10 days before it comes to harvest. Flowering day 54 The humidifier was refilled and the tent cleaned. Flowering day 55 Again both were carefully checked, osmosis water was filled in the tank, and everything was cleaned. That was the week before last 👍. Next week comes the last update before the harvest update 😎👍. Until then, I wish you all the best, stay healthy and let it grow 🍀👌 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Tag 34 - Die kleinen gedeihen prächtig 😁 Bin mir allerdings nicht sicher wie lange ich sie noch in der Wachstumsphase lassen sollen, habe die Befürchtung dass das Zelt bald voll ist 😅 Habe heute die Triebe wieder zurechtgerückt um alles möglichst gleich hoch wachsen. Und hab heute ca. 1,5l gegossen. Tag 35 - ich Kapp denen jetzt jeden Tag 2 Stunden Licht um sie langsam auf die Blüte vorbereiten, also ab heute bekommen sie 16/8

Holy! Gorilla Cookies has really changed since last week. This plant is the size of a small child now, the buds are massive. There is a lot of fading and dead leaves becoming more prevalent. She is definitely coming to an end but still not seeing amber trichomes. Humidity is back down to the 50s and I’m checking for mold every day.

11/24 - She was harvest on 11/24, the last day of the 13th week of flower, the 91st day of 12/12. She could have easily went a bit further, but I was content chopping down now. Most of the main colas were trimmed back to about 6 inches, and everything else was trimmed as nugs. I planned to dry in my Rubbermaid tote, and didn't have enough room for the entire plant. I had bought what I thought was going to be a 2x2 tent on Craigslist that I was going to use as a possible clone tent, and when I unpacked it, it happened to be a 4x2 tent. I am using it to dry 2 colas that I couldn't put into the tote, so I will get a bit of a comparison of dry trimming and wet trimming from the same crop. The part that went into the tote was wet trimmed, the 2 remaining colas that were hung will be dry trimmed. The top colas for certain were hard as rocks. Can't wait to see what it does dried. The two tops I did happen to weigh wet (don't care for a wet measurement as I know lots will be lost during dry) were around 30g each. I would expect it to dry to about 4-6oz or so, enough for me, since it was about 1/4 of the tent essentially. Now that I have a 2nd tent, I will look to use the 4x2 to veg/mother plants, and the 3x3 to flower, and hopefully cycle them to get a harvest every couple weeks. I also have 9 other seeds from this pack, so I will definitely give it a go again, but if they are going to be 13+ week flowering plants, chances are I won't keep them around, unless any of them turn out to be something really special. Now we wait for the buds to dry and can be put up to cure (assuming 4-10 days, as I don't really know with the wet trimmed how much it may take off of the drying time. 11/29 - The part of the plant that was wet trimmed and put into the Rubbermaid dryer was trimmed up and jarred today. The smaller nugs that were in there were pretty much dried, but the main cola parts still had some moisture on the inside (was all trimmed back to manageable nug sizes), so I am going to be burping daily for 30-60 minutes during this first week to help continue the dry/start the cure. The 2 colas that were hang dried will be staying up for another couple days. The 6 colas done so far went into 3 quart mason jars, with 25.2g, 26.5g, 26.8g in each, though as I said, with them not being fully dried, it will continue to go down a bit. Assuming the other 2 branches follow suit, we will be somewhere just under 4oz for the plant. Will update again in a few days. 12/1 - Two hang dried colas were even less than the others, coming in at 21.5g. As with the others, I expect some more loss in weight as the cure starts and they continue to dry out a bit. Will update the weight in about 7 days when I expect it to be about finished. I will say, the hang dried plant already appeared a bit more fragrant upon going into the jar. We will see where they stand in a week. Either way, between 3-4 ounces for 1/4 of my tent, not bad. It would make mainlining a viable option if staggered/perpetual grow. 12/5 - We are on the cusp of getting the smell back into the buds after a few days in the jars. 12/9 - Calling the final weight at 98.8g for the one plant, in basically 1/4 of my 3x3 tent. Smell can really only be described as funky. I even tried to ask a friend his opinion, as my nose can sometimes fail me, and his only answer was funky. Will be back in a few days with a smoke report, hopefully with comparison from a friend or two. 12/11 - Friends say the Dreamcatcher smells like cat piss. I always just said funky, and someone else said cat piss, someone said a skunk that sprayed. The smoke is smooth, maybe a bit earthy with berry tones, and for me the high is pretty clear headed and more of heady high than anything. Happy with the way she turned out. Interesting to see what the rest of the pack will produce.

After such a fast and strong germination I was horrified to find that the seedling was wilting. However after leaving it a day and removing the cup that was over it I’m pleased to say that things are back on track. 👍🌱

Definetly the tallest of my current plants,but that's what u expect from a 100% sativa.Long ass flowering times but well worth the wait.She likes the nutes ,one of my favourite strains of all time
