Flowers starting to bulk up a bit. Some awesome smells coming off these girls. Can't wait to test 'em. 😍😍

Thelma (2 gal) has a massive fade setting in, only a handful of ambers though. I start her flush this week and will chop in 2 weeks, assuming the number of ambers has multiplied bigtime by then. Louise (3 gal) is looking nice and healthy and I'm looking forward to compare harvests between both, she's a week younger. So close!!

Day 34: Watered with first dose of flowering nutrients (1ml B, 1ml SR). ***I’m gonna break character here for a few mins. If that messes with anyone’s head because you are so deep into the storyline, then you can just pretend this is the director talking. I really wasn’t liking the look of the plant. There was loads of leaves with big very long stems. If it was earlier in the summer I would just put it outside and start another one inside. I don’t have that luxury so I’ll just have to see how it goes. I done some serious defoliation, removing more than 20 leaves. I’m not holding out much hope for a big yield. Day 37: Watered with just PH’d water. Day 39: Watered with Nutrients (1ml B, 1ml SR) ***Character break again. I saw the plant today for the first time in six days. More leaves are after growing big long stems. The few flowers on this plant are topping away nicely. It looks like 3 good bud sites maybe and 2 smaller ones. I have a Rhino Ryder in a 4ltr pot growing next to this Skywalker which looks like it will produce a bigger yield. Either way we have to just see what happens. I’ll hand you back to Luke now for the rest of the grow. Day 40: Continued to use the Force to make the plant grow. This place is really starting to remind me of my time training with Master Yoda on Dagobah. Removed a few leaves with long stems.

Life got a bit out of control, however, I am here with an update! :) Unfortunately, the plants will need to come down tomorrow. The weather has turned and I havent been able to spend as much time at the location which has led to some botrytis on one or two of the plants :( Plants have been fed only water no nutes for the last few days, it is unfortunate because they could've gone at least another 10-14 days if the conditions were right or I was able to be at the location full time. Some observations - Two of the keeper pheno's are quite similar to each other, and the other two are even more similar to each other. Overall the genetics seem quite stable as all the plants are similar overall with slight variations with two Pheno 1 and 2 standing out the most. Pheno #2 turned out to be something special! Sweet candy cookie nose and dense sluricane-looking nugs. Worth testing indoors to see her true potential. Pheno #1 has bigger nugs and funky fruity nose, also with considering keeping. Pheno #3 and #4 are very similar, but nothing worth keeping IMO. Last thoughts/notes: I will have to re-veg and take cuts of Pheno 1 because no cuttings were taken because I wasnt planning on keeping any :( When the cuts are ready I will re-test pheno 1 indoors in the coming months. The Tooth Fairy by Renegade Genetics Tooth Fairy has surprised me. I wasn't expecting much from these freebies from an unknown breeder, however, these girls performed exceptionally well given the timeline, conditions and circumstances. Sweet berry candy aromas, really good trichome development and easy-to-grow nature make her worth giving a whirl. I look forward to re-testing the keeper indoors in the coming months. look out for that diary! This will be the last update before the final check-in. The next and final check-in will be bud shots, weight and smoke report. Happy Growing 🌱✊

March 21st: I finally got a camera up and running, so i was a little impatient and took pictures last night. I hope the video works! Light intensity made it up to 100% with no negative effects over the week. Second week of no nutrients! It doesn't seem to mind so far. Those nugs are still getting bigger and bigger. They are starting to weigh down the branches and make them bend downward. She still smells like a freshly opened bag of sour skittles. The trichomes creamed up a bit since i checked them last week, so i might only need to wait another week! But, i'm still going to expect it to finish in two to three weeks.

Hey everyone :-). The last plants were also placed in the bloom chamber kammer. Everyone has made great progress this week 🙏🏻. There is not much to say about this week, I think videos and pictures say more like words 🙈😎. I wish you all a good start into the week :-) Stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👍

Familia, Segunda semana de floración cumplida. Estás Original llevan un ritmo que flipais , tuve que practicar 2 apicales porque se nos iban de madre en altura. Por lo demás ya veis, un buen color, un buen desarrollo de las ramas, y el proceso de formación de las flores en si. No puedo quejarme de nada. Hasta aquí estoy muy contento. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 25 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Really loved this. Nothing more to say for now lol, it's been my first grow and grew her with 2 wild dwarfs and loved both, would grow them again. Really excited to try it out.

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

10/06/2018 Love how she looks don't know why? Just nice stacking of buds no mold issue, smelliest plant early on, and still is stinkiest. I can not wait for the first toke, to see if I made the right choice. See if it is worthy of the name (Ghost 👻 Walker) or stay GTH X SKYWALKER #5?

Grow Diary – Week 6, Day 1 of Flowering Boom, today marks Week 6, Day 1 of flower and things are moving along nicely. Buds are stacking and the aromas are straight-up explosive — seriously, it’s getting loud in the tent. PPMs are holding steady around 1000 and I'm dialing in pH to 5.8 every time, no exceptions. The only gripe I’ve got is how dense and crowded the plant has become. I got a bit greedy during training, went for too many shoots packed too close together. Now there’s a ton of foliage and the lower bud sites just aren’t getting the light they need. I’m in there every single day at lights-on, doing leaf tucking and rearranging to get better light penetration to those lower sites and hopefully avoid a bunch of larf. Lesson learned for next round: focus on strong main shoots only, less is more. But with the way things are going, I’m still optimistic I’ll pull at least 7 oz of solid, dank bud. Whatever ends up on the fluffier side will go to canna butter, nothing wasted! Airflow’s solid. Got three fans in action one low, one mid, and one up top keeping everything circulating. Humidity’s on the drier side, which is intentional to help prevent mold, powdery mildew, or pests, especially with how tight the canopy is. Gotta stay ahead of the game. Plant might be a little wild right now but overall we’re on track. Fingers crossed for a strong yield. Let’s go.

05/04 petit nettoyage du bas pour avoir des têtes durs. (Ci possible avec la grosse qui bouffe la place au soleil) 🙏

Day 71. Girls are still stretching !!! Will supercrop biggest Blue Dream this Monday or maybe Sunday if i am lucky. I think next watering is on Saturday and it takes 2 days , so i can do it only before watering, less damage to plant and hopefully quicker recovery !!! But they reach sky, so no other way ! This week will be updated after main actions. Amazing run ! Day 72. Supercrop and watering day, before this - plants look amazing, but they reach sky and will go hermie in shade most of the time. Will update AFTER ... ;)) Job done ! Moved monster to the corner and supercroped her hard, left two colas untouched. Think Blue Dream #2 could need same drastic measures ;))) All girls got feed, raised lights to max. Hope stretch is over, otherwise half of harvest larva buds and i already cleared plants heavily ... One more round of defoliation for sure ! Day 75. Blue Dream took supercroping like nothing, still reduced watering on 25% for two goes, tops already standing up, leaves reverted to new horizont and hopefully no bananas !!! ;)) Girls got water with CalMag and video is straight after last round, i water in 3 rounds, 30 min inbetween, have no run off most of the time. Happy Growing !

She's about ready to go down now. I'll chop her in a few days time. The heat is stressing her out badly and she needs to be hung. Aiming for a few weeks of dry time.

Feeding weekly general hydro ponies at 3/4 of half strength about 3 gallons per pot

Another beautiful ak420, very nice smell like flowers, super sweet aromas, and the nuggets are very solid and dense, very nice plant, it's been a nice journey, I'm only feeding with water from seed too weed in each of my plants thanks to the amazing Florians living organics (living soil blend) stay tuned to see how this lady finishes up! We're not too far from the end! 💛💚❤️👨‍🌾✌️

So hi alle zusammen ,so heute ist Tag 77 vom Samen Tag 29 in der Blüte Alles läuft super die Damen sind gesund , die Blüte hat sich gut entwickelt, fangt an zu Düften , sehr schönes Duft , trichomen vermehrt sich nach und nach , habe leider paar Blätter mit thrips Eier gefunden , die habe ich entfernt und Versuch ein lady bug rein zu setzen , kann nicht mehr spüren wegen der blute 💚✌️🏼

Day 30: Switching to Bloom and Iguana Bloom replaced veg and adding BB to push the process. Picked up a pressure sprayer/mister to get the Grease and Golden Goddess more involved on a foliage level. I think I'm gonna water again @ the start of light cycle tomorrow with VPT along with my Carbo load, B2 Budx and Rhino and turn light up for a few. Day 31: Went on and watered my plants this morning with a health doese of the VPT mix to get all of my soil moist this morning and have been monitoring. Think the root system is appreciating it because I defoliated and already looking lush agai Can't wait til I'm knock'n on heavens door!!!! Day 32: Just fed 2nd bloom feeding with a twist. I got to reading about how to mix the Bud Blood and found that it is very strong and that you should mix to dissolve in warm water. I have a lab mixer so mixed a liter with a tsp for a mix with the dropper when needed. Glad i got the mixology recommendation early enough. Have not really been holding back on the feeding and am pretty generous with my nutrients, so going for big results. Smoking some Green Crack right now and just hope my GC is as good as this I'm smoking now. Day33: My plants are sleep and I'm not so that means I'm thinking about grow stuff. So I fed my 2nd bud blood feeding yesterday around 4ish.....in the middle of light cycle. 3:30am in the dark they are wilting a bit. I mean I understand without photosynthesis there is wilting especially if nutrients are in the plant. In a 7 day cycle these girls are getting water every 24hours wether feeding or roots(that VTP mix gets toggled with add in's for root health) but think that in this bloom phase, gonna start feeding @ beginning of light cycle to get as much photosynthesis hours with the Bud Blood as I can so that the nutrients work as they should. Not wanting my plants to "burn" with the nutrients under that 6...... the 1. Today will be working and watching and will probably give em time to kind of just get adjusted for these next 5 weeks. I have a mix of Grease and Golden Goddess that I will spray when they awake and will be monitoring temperature and humidity to keep my VPD in 1.7 area. Day 34: So started the light cycle with my 2nd feeding in the bloom stage. Got a healthy feed on with some added cal-mag to ensure that I don't get any type of nutrient lock. Pretty impressed with the BB as my plant's are starting to show her flowers. There like dots of star's all over my grow. Have been slacking on the defoliation and considering lollipop but since these are AF and this is my first grow to let em kind of just grow and keep the light bright. Already thinking about my next grow and these FF's!!!! That's gonna be my winter grow and going to use the knowledge from this grow towards that grow. Day 35:Got 2 more feed cycles with the BB but might go with igniter on a few now that budding is starting. Observing for now and thinking maybe one more deflation but looking great.

This baby is a beast right now I neglected how this week because of putting in extra hours at work. When I got home yesterday the pot was completely dry and the bottom leaves started to yellow . But I know she’ll bounce right back with some TLC .
