She is still going well. She hasn't really bulked up a lot. She started a nother run on stigma production. That means more bud production/ density. She is still getting nutes for this week and then I'm going to start my flush next week. I need at least 27 grams to enter in to the harvest cup and I think that's all she might produce. I broke out the microscope, her trichromes are still predominantly clear so she still has some time. I'm going for a 20-30 amber percentage.

I am very satisfied with the results as of right now. We have had an incredible amount of rain in the Northeast US. I laid about 2 in of pea gravel at the bottom of the whole I Dug. Seems to be holding up okay. I put in 5 lb of nature's choice super soil concentrate from Amazon, sub cools recipe mix ed with roots organic potting soil at the bottom three or four inches maybe. I filled the rest with roots organic potting soil and a mix of my homemade vermicompost. She is stayed green and super healthy praying all the time. I may need to top dress mid flour maybe. Happy growing

Nothing special this week, everything just going as it should. A tiny little problem was: weather. She went thru some high temps for maybe 4h (up to 35C), took a bit more of water than normal and looked wasted that day, but on next day she was just fine! Now entering her final umpf, leaves starting to yellow everywhere, most pistils are brown, but no sign of amber trichs! Right now >90% are cloudy (zoom in), still giving her feed for more 3-4 days and then just plain water for more 10-14 days. Maybe I’ll get 10-20% amber in the end, which is just fine for me :)

Still no major problems so im very happy. Theyre all continuing to fatten up and i took the first microscope shots this week and they look amazing. much more dense than any of my previous. Gorilla is behind still, guess i got a slow phenotype but its still moving along at its own pace. Starting to see amber on the others so i reckon its right at the start of the possible harvest window. I have taken off a couple of small low down popcorn buds to see how they are. I am just very impatient haha. Hopefully it continues well for the next 2 weeks!

Was soll man sagen? Es waldet quasi. Alle Damen haben gut zugelegt und gehen nun sichtbar in die Blüte. Scheinbar mache ich nicht allzuviel falsch. Die Sherbet, die ich natürlich beim LST abgeknickt habe, interessiert das genau gar nicht. Die Knickstelle ist verdickt und die Madame wächst munter weiter. Zwischendurch noch was defoliert, aber sieht man auch schon wieder fast nichts von. Es duftet zunehmend im Zelt und selbst die Chili zeigen Knospen. Wow. Love it. Licht unverändert, bleibt jetzt auch so. Leichte Feuchtigkeitsproblemchen, aber der Ablüfter arbeitet nun auch. Videomitschnitt der letzten Woche wie immer am Ende. Immerhin sind 8 - 21 cm Wachstum drauf Update: nochmal ne Runde entlaubt. So alles, was kein/kaum Licht kriegt, oder zuviel Schatten gibt.

Day 71. Starting to show some purple, which was unexpected! Removed a few leaves that were overlapping. Day 74: Today was a bit heart breaking. We found a spot with botrytis/stem rot starting to set in. It appears we have discovered it fairly early. After searching treatments, we ended up doing a mix of them to try and avoid losses. Obviously cutting the branch off would be the most obvious choice, but we are trying to keep her as is and do some experiments in the name of growing science. We dusted with cinnamon, which has proven to be efficient in terms of anti-fungal properties, and let it sit for a couple hours. Then, we decided to remove the spot where the rot is showing up. We sprayed with H2o2, scraped out the affected area as much as possible, sprayed again and wiped dry. We then sealed the wound with candle wax. We also spread some more cinnamon on other susceptible entry points for fungus, mostly where leaves had been cut or where the stem was more fragile. We really hope this turns out well and we win this fight against the dreaded fungi. We suspect the raise in humidity this week triggered it. She was in the 30s to 40% last week, but the weather changed and she rose about 60% these last couple days. Pray for us, grower friends. Day 75: Had to remove the side branch that was connected to the main stem at the spot where the rot appeared. 😕 Patched her up and am praying this is the last of the consequences of this situation.. Pushing as much as we can to avoid and chop her early.. Day 77: Gave her the final haircut. 😊 Mold situation appears to be under control. Looking frosty as fuck!

21.09.26 Durch das unters Dach ziehen der Pflanzen kann ich mich nun mit Gymnastik auch zwischen die Blüten und das Balkongeländer zwängen um den Verlauf der Blüte auf der Sonnenseite zu kontrollieren und ein paar Blätter zu zupfen an die ich von hinten nicht rankomme. Dabei sieht man deutlich den reifeunterschied zwischen den buds die mir immer direkt vor Augen hängen und am wenigsten Sonne abbekommen und der front row. Die front row sieht schon sehr gut aus was sowohl den Besatz mit Harz angeht als auch die Färbung der Pistillen, welche dort bereits teilweise braun geworden sind. Diese Woche bekommen alle zusammen 2x 5 ml Frosty Buds von BloomCraft Boosters. Das ist eine Mischung aus Triacontanol und Chitosan. In der kommenden Woche bekommen sie noch 2x 7ml Frosty Buds. So wie der Wetterbericht und die Entwicklung der Blüten aktuell aussehen bin ich optimistisch dass die Ernte zum Ende der letzten September Woche über die Bühne geht. Sollte ich das Auftreten von Schimmel beobachten werde ich entsprechend früher handeln glaube aber nicht, dass es bei diesen Wetterbedingungen nötig wird. Die Wassermenge musste noch nicht weiter reduziert werden um Staunässe zu verhindern, wie zum Ende vergangener grows, als die Temperaturen bereits deutlich niedriger lagen. Ich wünsche euch allen eine schöne Woche und viel Erfolg auf den letzten Metern falls ihr noch Pflanzen draußen habt!

13 Out - 22o dia- A planta atingiu os 13 cm e 4 folhas reais, uma boa altura para começar com os fertilizantes, 4 ml de Root Juice e 2 ml de Bio Heaven e Active-Vera por cada litro (2 L Total) 16 Out - 25o dia - Regada com a mesma mistura. 19 Out - 28o dia - Transplantei a planta para um vaso maior (7,5 L), ainda não estava pronta completamente Root bounded mas acho que mais vale antes que depois. Regada com 4 litros de água com 16 ml de Root Juice, 4 ml de Fish-mix e 8 ml de Bio Heaven e Active-Vera. Continua...

Hello friends! Our Poisonous friend moved to live, in more polka dots!) 5 liters .. I hope she will start to grow actively! and will be ready for the next transplant into a 40 liter pot in a couple of weeks .. as I said earlier .. I have big and interesting plans for this girl .. so don't miss the new diary ..

Tito's Living Soil Blueprint: Why You Can’t Treat Organics Like a Synthetic Hydro System. When transitioning from synthetic hydroponics to true organic cultivation, many growers bring their old habits with them. It is a common pitfall: pulling out pH pens, measuring runoff, and liquid-feeding heavy doses of organic nutrients as if the medium were sterile coco or rockwool. But living soil operates on an entirely different set of rules. To achieve the true potential of an organic garden, we must stop treating the soil as a mere holding tank for liquid chemicals and start viewing it as a self-sustaining biological engine. This will be a breakdown of why treating organic soil like a synthetic system fails, and how to shift ones methodology to unlock the true power of the soil food web. Pouring massive amounts of raw elements into a living system all at once is the biological equivalent of force-feeding a newborn a massive takeout meal and expecting them to digest it instantly. In an optimal system, soil should never be breaking down more than roughly 5% of its total composition as organic matter at any given time. The math is simple: more intense chemical and biological reactions equal more physical heat. If the root zone temperature creeps even remotely over 72°F, oxygen hypoxia sets in, drastically reducing plant growth. Organic rhizospheres and biological nutrient delivery require significantly more oxygen to maintain efficient parameters for growth—a reality that is drastically different from a pure synthetic approach where a complex rhizosphere is virtually non-existent. The fundamental blueprint of organic growing relies on Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). The goal is to build a medium with so much CEC that it can store massive amounts of excess nutrients safely. This provides the necessary buffering capacity to handle large biological reactions, a process typically managed in the time period between grows. Once the soil is fully loaded and stabilized, the rhizosphere maintains its own pH balance, allowing the plant to dynamically feed itself directly from its massive, built-in storage of CEC. Treating Living Soil Like Coco creates a runoff-runaway trap. Applying a massive overdose of raw organic materials releases too many nutrients at once, leading to completely uncontrolled pH skewing. Running a synthetic-style management setup while simultaneously dumping organic inputs into the container does not make it an "organic" grow. Trying to judge a metric like pH after letting it run completely out of control with multiple simultaneous amendments is an uphill battle. Each input possesses unique chemical properties that drastically alter atomic decay chains and, consequently, pH. Without an adequate structural buffer, the medium experiences unpredictable swings. Put simply, the sheer volume of inputs rapidly outpaces the soil's built-in buffering capacity. Constantly reading the pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) of input and output water in an organic soil is not true organic cultivation; it is just a synthetic indoor environment layout utilizing organic ingredients. This presents a distinct misunderstanding of how these two opposing approaches need to be separated. One cannot simply measure EC and pH to heavy runoff in a soil designed to store cations and expect to keep accurate tabs. Even when using 100% organic certified ingredients, liquid feeds, and compost teas, the underlying methodology matters most. Measuring runoff pH and EC treats an organic soil system like a synthetic coco or rockwool grow. In a high-CEC organic soil, a runoff reading is highly inaccurate. A soaring runoff reading of 8.0 is often just the water physically washing past raw amendments on its way out of the pot. It does not mean the actual root interface is locked out; it simply indicates that the soil ran out of immediate storage capacity for those heavy inputs. Synthetic growing relies entirely on direct nutrient delivery. Chemical salts are poured over the root system, the plant absorbs what it needs through basic osmotic pressure, and the excess is flushed away. True organic growing, however, relies on biological cycling. An organic soil should never be watered to heavy runoff, because doing so actively washes away the beneficial microbes, soluble humic acids, and organic buffers that the soil life works so hard to create to protect the root zone. Applying inputs as an immediate, massive overload of raw elements causes chaotic chemical spikes. Dumping heavy amendments directly into a big pot mid-grow triggers unpredictable reactions. In a true living soil system, amendments are added in tiny, balanced amounts long before the plant ever meets the dirt. This deliberate timeline allows the soil’s Cation Exchange Capacity to naturally "park" and buffer those nutrients. When inputs outpace the soil's ability to buffer them, the system breaks down, and the runoff pH screams. When faced with a fluctuating pH meter, a common reactive impulse is to throw agricultural sulfur at the problem. This is a classic example of trying to react mechanically to a digital number rather than letting the soil chemistry work. Elemental sulfur does not lower pH on contact. Soil microbes must first digest it and convert it into sulfuric acid. Because this biological process takes weeks or even months, adding it mid-problem yields no immediate change. This leads to the temptation to add even more. Weeks down the line, the cumulative sulfur will finally convert, causing the pH to crash violently and fry the root system. As a general rule, avoid using sulfur as a corrective knee-jerk reaction. If it is used at all, it should be applied strictly 2 to 3 weeks prior to flower as a precise, one-off addition to assist with Isopentenyl pyrophosphate synthesis. If a soil matrix is truly experiencing a severe alkaline lockout at a pH of 8.0, the new leaves at the very top of the plant will tell you directly by turning bright yellow while the veins stay dark green—the classic signature of alkaline drift and iron chlorosis. The solution is simple: put the pH meter away. Stop watering to heavy runoff. Only apply enough water to evenly moisten the soil matrix, and let natural inputs do their job to feed the microbes and naturally buffer the root zone. Electrical Conductivity (EC) dictates plant water and nutrient availability by altering the soil solution's osmotic potential. This potential controls whether a plant can efficiently pull water into its roots or if it will actually lose water to the surrounding soil. If a grower cannot control the rate of what is going in (the rate of nutrient release) and cannot control the rate of what is going out (the plant's dynamic growth), the immediate medium's EC deviates. When EC deviates, osmotic potential goes with it, disrupting bulk flow and the entire vascular transport system of the plant. Synthetic nutrient delivery relies on precise input measurements and an incredibly tight management of the wet-dry cycle to prevent the constant, violent spiking of EC caused by excess moisture loss. Reducing EC to a mere measurement of "food in and food out" oversimplifies its true function. It acts as a balance of electrical conductance that must be maintained to regulate the flow of water. Failing to acknowledge this is a severe disservice to the beauty and potential of a true rhizophagy cycle in all its respiratory glory. True organic cultivation does not actually begin until biological cycling is actively linked to hydrogen exudation from the roots. The vast majority of modern cultivation advice leaves growers completely in the dark regarding these biological mechanics. This is a product of market capitalism rather than basic chemistry. There are significantly lower profit margins for hydroponic companies when a grower uses ten times fewer mass consumables and relies on little more than water from seed to harvest. By shifting focus away from "feeding the straw" and moving it toward nurturing the near-infinite soil food web, the plant regains absolute autonomy over its own rhizophagy cycle. It begins regulating its own nutrient intake dynamically, without a single digital EC pen in sight. This allows the grower to focus entirely on optimizing the macro-environment rather than micromanaging the root zone. The cultivation medium can be reused indefinitely so long as you can prevent a buildup of carbon and nitrogen in the soil; cover that in a later week. To achieve a truly organic system that unlocks this rhizophagy cycle, the cultivation approach must shift entirely from feeding the plant directly to feeding the soil microbiome. Because the modern gardening community is heavily guided by synthetic methodologies, the subtle nuances and variations of this biological process are rarely highlighted. The hydroponic industry is fundamentally built on a recurring revenue model of bottled minerals, flush agents, and sterile mediums. Conversely, a self-sustaining living soil system requires minimal external inputs after its initial build. This shifts the grower's role from a rigid chemical manager to a biological custodian. Because managing biology requires observing subtle environmental factors—like consistent soil moisture, oxygenation, and temperature—rather than reading a digital screen, commercial entities scaled for automated, synthetic delivery often dismiss it as unpredictable. When the soil food web is fully unlocked, the plant takes the driver's seat, operating with a level of systemic efficiency that synthetic nutrient lines simply cannot replicate. In the commercial cultivation landscape, corporate structures are legally bound to protect shareholder interests and recurring profit margins, which often prioritize the sale of bottled consumables over the promotion of self-sustaining agricultural practices. Under modern industrial cultivation models, biology is too often treated as secondary to business. By stepping away from the meters, understanding Cation Exchange Capacity, and feeding the microbiome instead of the roots, you break free from the chemical cycle—allowing nature to do what it has perfected over millions of years.

This is one of the 1st strains I grew when I started growing and it was a great smoke. Definitely had to run it again and I'm glad I got a 100% success rate with the germination. Considering it was my 1st grow, I did OK but I have learnt alot since then and excited to see how much I have improved with a strain I grew before and still remember the experience clearly. 👍🏾🤤🔥🔥😎
