Hey Team! What can I say, my first time grow is coming along smooth. 🍃🍃 🍃 D-Boogie coming along smooth y’all. I think My tangerine dream is getting ready to flower soon. Going to carry out the veg-state as long as I can. I’m not sure how much water to give them but I’m sticking my gallon a week to keep it safe. Looking forward to next week!

She was grown in a 24 oz. cup with NO ISSUES.. Which leads me to believe that "rootbound" is nothing but a myth.. I have grown 4 other girls in even smaller cups.. Same outcome.. No issues whatsoever.. I will be updating more as the harvest progresses.. Im going to dry and cure the same way I did the White Widow I recently harvested.. Which is.. In the box I will run the fan for 24 - 48 hours.. Once I notice the plant is beginning to shrivel up some I will stop using the fan and go with how the buds feel.. I would rather jar them up too early because if the hygrometer reads 70% humidity then I can just lay her out for another few hours and jar her back up.. Once she is able to sit in the jar and doesnt go over 68% than i will only burp once every 2 or 3 days for about a week.. It all depends how dry she gets before curing.. Not going to count my chickens before they hatch.. That is just the way I have been able to dry and cure without ruining any terpenes since my environment is not all that great for drying and curing cannabis.. Anyways.. Will be updating as I go!!! So happy and excited.. But when I wake up I already know that Im going to jump up to check on her in the tent like I have been for the past 106 days lol.. Anyways.. Will be updating!!! Day 108.. About 20 hours after harvesting.. She is still smelling lovely.. In the past it would start smelling like hay.. But I've figured out how to slow the drying process down with my awful environment.. I also cut the fan off for now.. I may cut it back on later today or tomo.. We shall see!!! Day 109.. About 48 hours of drying.. Not sure if its the box I'm smelling along with the skunk.. But it's kinda smelling a bit weird.. Almost hay like.. Ugh.. I will be PISSED if I ruined this one.. Stems are still super bendy.. Not even close to snapping.. I'm going to leave the fan off for now.. The warmth in the room the box is in is probably enough to help dry.. Hopefully not gonna dry too fast.. Leaves are still not crisp.. So that's another good sign.. We will see what happens!!! So excited to give this nasty bitch a taste!!! Day 4 of drying (after harvest)... Ok.. So I havent been noting anything down.. But this is what has happened so far.. The plant was pretty much dry on the 3rd morning.. Or so it felt.. Crispy.. Smaller stems were snapping.. So I put it in jars.. I havent weighed it yet tho.. Will do that later.. But after about 12 hours in the jars (3 Qt sized jars btw) the hygrometers were reading 72%, 74% and 78%.. So I left them out overnight for about 16 hours or so.. Maybe not even that long.. I put them in jars early this morning and left for work.. After about an hour or 2 in the jars, they were reading about 56% - 57%.. I hope I didnt over dry them overnight.. I went ahead and grabbed a nice sized nug to teat out for today.. Stoned asf.. Thats for sure.. But the smoke is still pretty harsh.. I can smell the skunk for sure still.. Its actually really stinky lol.. Like, not an attractive smell whatsoever lol.. But its for sure the terpenes.. Not any issues with them.. But when I get home.. I'll be able to get a better, longer reading on the huds today after last nights drying... ... Later.. Ok so one jar is reading at 62% second jar is reading 57% and the last jar is ready 54%... They all still smell great : 1: but I'm wondering if a nug from the 62% jar is not going to be as harsh as the jar at 54%.. Hmm.. May try that out later tonight.. ... Even later.. Lol So yeah the 62% jar is much smoother.. No harshness whatsoever.. Ok.. I see where I make my mistakes.. But can still save the smells and tastes.. Im sure the other jars will eventually lose the harshness.. I hope.. My Berry Ryder never lost any harshness.. That was harvested and a little overdried like over 6 months ago.. Still harsh.. But this strain doent smell like hay.. The worst smell you can smell when it comes to drying and curing.. For me atleast.. If it smells like hay.. The tepenes are long gone lol.. I have had my first 3 harvests come out like f'n hay.. But I think I got it figured out.. For the most part.. Just need to get better temps in drying.. Hmm.. Fuck it.. Maybe even use a evaporative cooling humidifier in the room with it.. Not in the box (obviously cuz the one I got would fill the drying box pretty much.. Its huge asf).. Load it up with ice daily.. Damn I forgot I had that thing.. I need it for my tent now actually.. Got a 20oz cup with a 4 week old ZkittleZ Glue (Photoperiod) from Expert Seeds.. Not even flowering yet that already smells dank asf.. Flippin it in the next few couple days actually.. Dont have a diary on her tho..anyhoo.. Will be updating and adding some updated pics in the AM... About 4 days of curing... Well each jar is a bit different.. I am noticing that jar #1 is at 63% humidity and smells dank as fuuuuck.. No need for any humidity pack.. At least not right now. Jar #2 is at 58% humidity with a humidity pack and it smells pretty danky as fucky too.. But not as strong as jar #1.. And jar #3 is at 55-56% humidity with a humidity pack and doesnt really smell much.. It does.. But for sure not as strong as jar #1 and #2.. Which brings me to my next issue.. I bought these Integra Boost 62% Humidity Packs... They worked well about 6 months ago.. I left these others sealed up and protected for ANYTHING.. and now they fucking suck.. Is there a time limit on these fuckers? Does Boveda 62 Packs do the same shit??? Ugh.. Wasted money like a mf'r.. If I took the packs out of jar #2 and #3 it would not change the humidity whatsoever.. I thought they would at least do SOMETHING.. a couple more digits up.. But hell no.. I even handled the fuck out of them hoping to stir em up and "active" em or some shit lol.. But nope.. Nothing.. These things suck.. Boveda 62 is my next purchase.. But I'll wait for my next harvest.. Smh.. Maybe if I double up they will work better? Such a fucking waste.. It was about 65 or 66 grams all together.. I already smoked about a gram to try it out.. So now ill just say its 64 grams. Not bad for a 24 oz cup grow in my opinion... By the way.. Integra Boost 62% Humidity Packs SUCK!!!. They did work the first time I used them. But about 30 - 60 days later I used 2 more gor these jars.. And it cant keep anything above what it naturally was in the jar.. Sometimes I feel like mixing them up in their package.. Like crumpling the whole thing up and moving all the gel, or whatever thats inside, around to help.. Activate it?? Lol it brought it up 1%.. Thats it.. I even put 4 of them in a jar of bud that was already 58%.. With all 4 Integra Boost packs.. 60% on a good day lol.. Boveda packs too a few days to start working.. But ai had to kinda "activate" them as well.. After 4 days of "activating" and NOW the jars are 62% - 63% from natually about 57% and 58%... The third jar is natually at 62% - 63% so I just burp that one once a week.. Smells so super skunky! Tastes amazing.. Nugs are pretty dense also.. Lots of red hairs (dead pistils) which kinda help for the bag appeal more than anything.. As a kid growing up.. I always thought it was the hairs that got you high.. I also thought that you could just plant them outside anytime of the year.. And that the thc was stored in the roots.. Thats why they hang plants upside down.. So my first couple harvests as a kid (2 grams max and only flowered for probably 5 weeks if not only 4) and hug the entire plant upside down including the dirty ass roots that I had in the mud ai was using to grow them in. Smh.. What was I thinking?!?! Haha... Anyways.. Boveda packs are working.. Integra Boost packs stop working if you dont use them up within a month.. Smh.. Trash.. Fucking trash

Waiting for first signs of life … While we are, I thought I’d give you a short explanation on the software’s graphics in case you did not follow my first diary. The one to the upper left, as its headline says, is the temperature graph. Most important line is the red one, showing the leaf temperature measured with an infrared temperature sensor. As there are no leaves yet, it is pointed towards one of the pot’s wall at soil level. Air temperature from a sensor that usually hangs around somewhere around top level is violet, and the grey line is the outside temperature close to the tent, helping the software to determine if a main blower action will effectively lower temperature. As I learned from the first grow a plant day that corresponds to the natural day can cause enormous gaps both to temperature and humidity, I inverted the plant day now, starting their night at 11 a.m. So after the first day temperature will only vary around 1.5 °C, which is of course due to the low light intensity too. Humidity graph on the upper right is quite crowded. Main line is the blue one, tent air humidity, which on this first day was between excellent 65 – 70% most of the time. For the moment humidifier is electrically disabled. There is quite some excess humidity on the tent floor and no reason to push this any further. Outside air humidity is grey again and taken from the same outside sensor that reports outside temperature. The soil humidity sensors are simple analogue capacitive sensors which have their flaws. I am interpolating their measurements to have a somewhat smoother reading, but as you can see from the turquoise humidifier reservoir reading (in legend named as plant soil hum 1), they can get confused when humidity is very high and start to report random numbers for some time. The most important graph for all growing stages is the lower left one, where the pink line meaning plant VPD should be inside the green optimum range for somewhat perfect conditions. This cannot be attained all of the time – dehumidifying isn’t as easy as humidifying –, but software tries its best to do so. Outside VPD is grey again. The last graph is more for amusement than anything else. The light intensity sensor is hard to position correctly, and everything you see about illumination and DLI (orange and green, plus grey for the accumulated 24 h DLI) should be taken with some spoonful of salt. Any resemblance to real world professional instrument readings can be considered purely coincidental. The violet line is the CO2 reading from such a sensor, and you can see that its tiny peaks correspond to even tinier black peaks at the bottom of the graph, reading TVOC values which in this case, once they will be more than possible measurement irregularities, can be interpreted as smell. ------- End of week 1: All seeds germinated. I wasn’t at home most of the time, and it turned out using the humidity sensor to monitor the humidifier’s tank wasn’t good for the stability of the system. Arduino crashed, so there are no pictures yet and no graphs to show. I have the feeling light was a bit low as the seedlings grew a bit tall, but with lights now up to 20% I guess this problem is fixed. More tomorrow when I have some more data to share. Even more end of week 1 (I extended this week to 9 days as I cannot tell when the seedlings started to show): Lights are at 40%, meaning 40 W in total. No reason to give them new water until next week. As some flies showed up from the BioBizz soil, I added 2 yellow cards. So far, everything in normal ranges. I’ll switch the control to grow phase soon which will raise the VPD slightly by 0.5 kPa. It’s interesting to see the CO2 level started to climb by 50% during their last night and has not come down to baseline afterwards. I restarted the app to check if the sensor had lost its calibration, but it still sits at around 660 ppm now.

Week 5 and we are sailing along just topped dressed the plants as of day 30 and feed them their weekly organic mater with compost tea and top dress some home made worm castings adding worms and biology to the soil. 2 more week since the one gallon and then into their final home. Removed all big fans as of day 31 to allow all side branches to grow out into a bush. The little fans will replace the bigger ones. Strong Smells of lemon lime noticeable after handling plants

Haven't been remembering to post weekly updates! Everything is going great the auto flower girls are budding nicely and the other ladies are starting to flower nicely I'm giving alternating nutrients using a few different fox farm nutrient feed charts with my own take on them from notes an suggestions. This is the part that is so enjoyable but so stressful!

8-24-25 All of the girls continue to do well they’re no longer stretching. I believe they’ve reached just about their full height starting to stack pretty well with buds Dosie Dough 33 is the farthest along with the runt’s layer cake being the least farthest along. I’m going to add a photo of some really good amendments that I have been using. I would encourage individuals to look into these nutrients, if interested in a large harvest of organic buds.

12-2 They both seemed to like the tea, no signs of burn or further self eating of hunger. 😂 Today was just observing and some pics. 😁 Triple grape smells like some straight gas with a hint of grape. Sticky af. Strawberry Cheesecake smells like American Bologna. With the definite hint of cheesey stink. Kinda weird. 😂😂🤘 1-3 Watered both with cal/mag only. Ph 6.2 Run off 3x 710ppm ph 7.3 Scc run off 810 ph 7.4 So both rocking, but PH a little high. 1-5 Watered scc with cal/mag till run off was 625 ppm and ph 6.5 1-6 Watered 3x Ppm 425 just cal/mag. Ph bit high 7.1 but acceptable 1-7 Nothing today. Scc giving me the finger, for so much water. 🤣 She shall feed tomorrow 💪 1-8 Scc booster and cal/mag. 575 ppm in. Didnt check runoff.

She's getting huuuuuuuge!! Added an humidifier to keep a constant humidity level of 55% in the grow room. The temperature just outside the grow room is 10C, and even more outside is 0C!! It's a miracle I can keep a temperature over 20C inside the room ;) UPDATE: TOPPED!! In the last two days she has grown like a beast (after the ADV NUT intake), so I had to top her before the next week. HYPE HYPE HYPE! The leaves are now almost bigger than my iPad lol.

Finally! it's the Day I've waited for and now i can't believe it's actually done. The plant is hanging in the tent, looking so good. Like she is the prettiest plant i've ever grown. I don't know how to show it better on pictures, but i just upped my weed quality. Super dense, super frosty, SUPER LOUD! 10/10 I LOVE this strain! i can't imagine her being cured hahahaha Thank you, Fast Buds for providing me the seeds! Thank you, Terra Power for sending me some fertilizer samples, You make my growing live a bit better, thanks. Everyone who reads this is legally bound to get high today or hug a loved one. DECIDE. Cheers

Der Strain ist absolut top 👍 der eine Stern Abzug gibt es nur dafür das er nicht ganz so stark schmeckt wie er riecht. Alles in allem super 😍

I use these fertilizers not for the first time, the whole grove was successful, without any problems. the tree did not hurt, and there was no shortage of fertilizers. organic fertilizers are very good for the earth
