Started documenting this plant a little late, apologies. Everything is going great though... started LST just after week 2 and she has a nice flat canopy. I can see 8 or 9 flowering points all nice and even.

So, that’s it. :-) Hemprietta is no longer among the living. After an 8-day drying phase at 45 to 53% humidity, she’s now chopped up and curing in two jars. The yield is pretty big. Due to local legal restrictions, I’m not keeping everything—I got rid of all the small stuff. What a luxury to have a selection… and how ridiculous not to be able to keep it all. :-) Oh well, it was still a joy… I kept the best buds. And damn—are they beautiful! Final thoughts: Main-lining works extremely well for a sativa in a small grow tent, even with the extra 2 to 3 weeks of training. It’s great for height control and gives the plant a solid structure, resulting in almost exclusively fat, dense main buds. I’d say the yield-to-effort ratio isn’t compromised at all. If I had kept all the solid buds (no popcorn buds), the dry weight would have been around 110 to 120 grams—which would be perfect for a two-person household. ;-) One thing I’ve learned: a 95-watt lamp might be slightly overkill for a 40x40 cm tent… Update after curing an tasting: After about three weeks in the jar, I finally had the chance to try Hemprietta. Yay! I’m really impressed with the effects—this is some seriously fine herb. I can’t decide whether it takes first or second place in my personal top 10. The high is pretty strong, which I don’t usually love as an occasional smoker, but since there’s no real couchlock, the intensity is totally fine for me. After a long, stressful day, just a few puffs completely wipe out any tiredness and make you want to be social again. A light euphoria and good mood set in. You feel focused and receptive—though whether you actually are focused is another question. At least while playing FIFA, there were no mediocre results: either a crushing 7-1 victory or a humiliating 1-7 defeat—nothing in between. Conversations are fun and quickly get silly to downright goofy. At higher doses, you get properly stoned and suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to inhale obscene amounts of potato chips and gummy bears. Great for the soul, not so great for the waistline. But hey, it works. It’s crazy how even then, you don’t feel stuck to the couch. Overall, a fantastic experience. I can fully recommend Laughing Buddha—it’s perfect for social occasions! ----- So das war's wohl. :-) Hemprietta weilt nicht mehr unter den Lebenden. Nach einer Trocknungsphase von 8 Tagen bei 45 bis 53 % Luftfeuchtigkeit ist sie jetzt zum Härten zerstückelt in zwei Gläser verteilt. Der Ertrag ist ziemlich groß. Auf Grund der hiesigen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen behalte ich also nicht alles - sondern habe den ganzen Kleinkram beseitigt. Was für ein Luxus eine Auswahl zu haben. Und wie bekloppt nicht alles behalten zu können. :-) egal, war dennoch eine Freude... Die schönsten Buds habe ich behalten. Und meine Fresse - die sind aber auch schön! Als Resümee: Main Lining funktioniert bei einer Sativa in einem kleinen Growzelt mit ca 2 bis 3 Wochen Mehraufwand extrem gut, um die Höhe zu kontrollieren und der Pflanze eine sinnvolle Struktur zu geben. So entstehen eigentlich nur fette / harte Main-Buds. Ich würde Mal behaupten, dass der Ertrag im Verhältnis Aufwand-Nutzen keineswegs geschmälert ist. Wenn ich alle ordentlichen Buds (keine Popcornbuds) aufgehoben hätte, wäre sicherlich ein Trockengewicht von ungefähr 110 bis 120 Gramm herausgekommen - was für einen Zweipersonenhaushalt perfekt wäre ;-) ich lerne daraus, dass eine 95 Watt Lampe für ein Zelt 40x40 offensichtlich etwas überdimensioniert sein könnte... Update nach Curing und Verkostung: Nach etwa drei Wochen im Glas habe ich die Gelegenheit gehabt Hemprietta zu verkosten. Jay! Ich bin sehr angetan von der Wirkung. Aus meiner Sicht ein richtig feines Gras. Ich bin unentschieden, ob es auf Platz 1 oder 2 meiner Top 10 landet. Die Wirkung ist ziemlich stark - eigentlich finde ich das als Gelegenheitskonsument nicht sooo geil, aber da kein wirklicher Couchlock eintritt ist die Stärke voll okay für mich. Nach einem langen stressigen Tag ist die Müdigkeit nach wenigen Zügen vertrieben und man bekommt (wieder) Lust auf sozialen Kontakt. Eine leichte Euphorie und gute Laune macht sich breit. Man fühlt sich ziemlich fokussiert und aufnahmefähig. Ist man auch wirklich fokussiert? Schwer zu sagen :-) zumindest beim FIFA zocken gab es keine mittelmäßigen Ergebnisse mehr. Entweder Sieg 7:1 oder Niederlage 1:7 - aber nichts dazwischen... Gespräche machen Spaß und sind schnell ziemlich lustig bis albern. Bei höherer Dosierung ist man schon ziemlich breit und hat Bock obszön viele Kartoffelchips und Gummibärchen in sich zu stopfen. Gut für die Seele, schlecht für die Figur. Passt also. Verrückt, dass man auch dann noch nicht das Gefühl bekommt an der Couch zu kleben. Also insgesamt ein großartiges Erlebnis. Ich kann Laughing Buddha voll und ganz empfehlen. Sehr gut geeignet für soziale Anlässe.

Day 53: Things are going well. I always make pictures before doing work. As you can see, down below it starts to absord the nutrients our of the leafs( picture 3). This is a good sign that I have not been overfeeding and the plants even want to have more nutrients! I might raise my EC to 2-2.2 after all. Yet I don't expect big buds from this grow, Just many buds which is alright to me as well. Hopefully they will grow compact. They will start to fatten up soon tought.

67 grams from 1 plant dried I will be doing the other plant tonight

Plants are striving nicely..🤗

This has been an amazing growth once again and I got to do the compound genetics like been wanting to for a year. This stuff is so decked out

A week with lots of activity from my side, from the Gorilla's side, not so much. She stays behind and I can't find any other reason than genetics/seed quality. She is in exactly the same conditions as the other girls. I'm letting her do her thing. She will give some weed, well see how much. Maybe she is a late-bloomer. She does look lush and healthy so we do not understand but are learning. I put in the scrog net since her roommates need it and lowered the lights and started giving more flowering feed. The light is still awesome, the amount it puts out. This SP- 3000 rocks and, wallet permitting, we will go for a second one. @MarsHydroLED might be so happy with the amount of coverage we give them, they'll send us another one 😏 If you haven't seen it yet and you are in the market for new gear, check out the Black Friday super sale on www.mars-hydro.com!! We are gonna see what happens coming weeks with this strain. So far I am a bit disappointed and didn't expect this from this strain. We will never know if it was the age of the seeds or something else. What I do know is, it was the last time I use a third party seedbank, it is apparently too hard to keep fresh stock with too many strains. Until breeders put a production date o the packaging. Isn't it time someone said that? Cause lets keep it real, we are talking seeds that in any other case would have a cost of production of fractions of cents per seed. We pay what? 3 to 5 to maybe even 20 dollars a seed for an exceptional strain? Is it then too much too ask to put a friggin expiry date on the package? Or store them cooled? The breeder that does that and arranges a deal with third-parties that overstock can be sent back, packaging recycled, in exchange for fresh stock. Like any other fresh trade. For an industry making what, a billion worldwide, it is remarkable how many are still in the stoner with a garage / 80's trailer park, backwater funfair warranty, kinda customer service. Me: i grow organic weed for 30 years, these seeds were old Seed dealer: Yes but you failed to do a raindance on the rising moon, no refund. Me: but its for cannabis? Weed industry: Yes why we charged you double! Me: wow no germination after paying 20 bucks for seeds? Industry: They are all stoners, they won't notice.... Me: but this bong is made from toxic plastics? Headshop: yeas but it has this crumbling image of a leaf, 20 dollar! Can they get their shit together? For god's sake, I've seen crack dealers with better PR and customer care. Someone do sumtin, take us out of the car boot era please?

plants are really exploding, bubba kush is furthest along probably two weeks ahead of plants on the left. Kush is stacking up frost and smelling super sweet. buds just starting to form on C-99 and Dx4(GG4x Chem D)

week 9 was a good week I watch my pollen sacks grow into beautiful pods cant wait to use it plant doing pretty good health and strong

The plant on the right is more mature than the 2 others.

Stanno sempre meglio. Le mie Barney farm runtz ..

Week 8 is here and Budville is getting chunky and skunky. If this was not my first grow I would probably would have started some defoliation by now but decided to just be patient and see what the end result will be. She is right on track to be harvested around the end of this month, we shall see. Waterings have picked up greatly, getting 2L about every 36hrs with BioBizz every other watering, @ full strength based on their schedule. Set up an intake fan bringing in cool air from the A/C in the room. Able to keep the RH down around 40-45%, with temps running about 27C°. Budville is getting between 900 & 1100µmol , 65/72 DLI from the TS1000.

When trimming I noticed one plant hermie a few banana bunches here and there but luckily it does not seem to have seeded the others but I’ve currently only harvested the one with bananas. These plants stink I have showered and changed clothes and ppl still asking me if I have something on me 😝💪🌱 will do dry cured photos of each plant but every plant is 100g + dry weight

GIVE THIS GROW A THUMBS UP 👍 WEEK #2 DAY 9: She was stunted day 6 & is recovering from that currently . She is in a 5x5 with 3 autos between 35-42 days old . The plan is to veg this single Cereal Milk out to fill this entire 5x5 once my Autos are harvested . This is my first run with this cultivar & breeder however it was an easy choice considering I adore the taste , smell, & smoke of the strain! Week 1 issues: The tents VPD was out of whack . Due to the VPD being out of proportion slowed/stunted growth occurred equally across all 4 plants in the tent . Plants showed deficiencies of CalMag and interveinal yellowing , necrosis leaf spots , reddening leaf petioles & leaf stems slowly progressing in the worst affected plants to red leaf veins & lastly droplets of condensation on the leaves (plants were sweating) Anyways after I fixed the VPD issues , I added a makeshift dome for humidity retention of the Cereal Milk & 3 days later which is today she has added 2 new nodes almost catching up to where she would be with normal healthy unstunted growth at day #9. She was transplanted from her starter pot last night into a 2 gallon with plenty of dry amendments mixed in for a 6-8 week veg. I’m debating on scrogging this plant or LST & Supercropping the SHIT out of this plant . I’ve never scrogged before and am not welcoming any new learning curves at the moment which is my main reason not to even though I think it may be the biggest help to filling this tent & “supporting” the enormous load of bud sites I am planning to grow . I worry about to inconvenience of defoliating & training branches down without being able to get around the outside of my tent given its location in a corner . If I had anticipated wanting to grow a single 2lb + plant when determining my grow location I would’ve placed it more ” openly “. If I can think up a work around to canopy maintenance so that I can keep it clean & by the books I’ll quit complaining & try it . Otherwise she’ll be LST’d & Supercropped OR topped and mainlined . Day 14 END OF WEEK #2 I’ve added remote temperature & humidity monitoring/controller. Now I can monitor the dips & swings while making adjustments to better dial things in . (Just trying it on for size here , for full disclosure I am not in love with it & if I can not modify what it is that is bothering my existence I WILL be returning this unit AND purchasing another brand with the capabilities I am looking for the connectivity for this specific unit I am trying was a BIG deciding factor for me but all in all is not enough to make me settle on this one if I can potentially have it all. . Odds are highly leaning towards returning this unit .) Finally raised the pot to level with the older girls in flower currently . I was wrong when I reported in setup that she was “30 inches “ from the light . She in fact was 35 inches‼️away so I raised her to be 26 inches from the light by placing a 1 gallon bucket beneath her . I WILL NOT LET THE MID-END OF FLOWER & DRYING to cause my run to get derailed

Ultima semana. La planta esta lista, llevo 6 riegos con Flawless Finish y creo que el lavado de raíces ya esta completo. Esta planta a sido toda una alegría y sorpresa, venia en un Mix, no le tenia mucha fe y creció realmente bien. Espero que el efecto también sea igual de bueno.

*Week 6 of flowering 10/01* Critical +2.0 - Apple Fritter Both plants are nearing harvest and have maxed out at a height of 48 inches. Buds have developed heavy trichomes and are giving off a bright and vibrant smell. 85% of both plants have grown in their orange hairs and have a bright green and orange tint, Today will be the last nutrient feed, I will be using the "Lotus Carboflush" starting tomorrow (10/02) to remove the salt build up until harvest which will be next week (10/09) * 10/8 - Cut down* Both are heavy on top - Covered in trichomes - smells deep (Citrus) Dry trimming in two weeks - aiming for 14 day cure. *Day 2 Dry Hang Video uploaded 10/09* *10/15 - Harvest should be completed by the end of this week - 10/20*

Today is day 71 for these ladies and they are doing just amazing! Stacking up densely with a Very sweet smell , I still get hints of vanilla ! Not to much longer to go these girls few more weeks an they should be done! Stay tuned for next week ! ✌️
