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 Timesโ€™ Cannabis Cup and for good reason โ€“ 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 65ยฐc 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

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Have fun with the update. Flowering day 54 since time change to 12/12. Hey everyone โ˜บ๏ธ. We are slowly getting closer to the harvest ๐Ÿ˜. You can see that the lady sucks all her energy out of the leaves and passes it on to the flowers. The buds smell very tasty ๐Ÿ˜. It should be ready to harvest in the next 17 - 25 days. But of course we will be observing this closely with the microscope from next week. Otherwise the tent was cleaned as usual and the humidifier refilled. I wish you a lot of fun with the update.

So I cut top colas last week. And managed to get some nice looking buds, still up to 30% of those afected by white mold. They dried up and mold is not growing in the buds, don't know if I still can dosomething with them? Smokycylin? Pinicidope? ))) maybe I canbake them in to gurme cookies? The rest of the plant as seen on this week videos was saved. It looks ready, smells like crazy, sticks like gorilla glue) Thera quite a share of amber trychoms, and even thos couple of self prodused ceeds look ripe. So I think it's time. My plan is to keep it over this weekend. Then give it a 24 hour of darkness and then chop chop. Should I try longer darkness period? 2 days, 3 days, more? Is it doing any good? If some one has experience please send me an advice. Thanks for reading Happy growing!

Devo dire che questa IBK sta crescendo vigorosa e adesso che finalmente ho montato la TS 1000 che mi รจ stata mandata gentilmente da Mars Hydro sono sicuro che faranno progressi da gigante, la lampada cob da 1200w che usavo fino ad oggi purtroppo scaldava tanto ed arrivavo a 30ยฐc dentro la growbox chiusa con estrattore spento e mi toccava tenerlo acceso inutilmente in questa fase... Grazie ai miei compagni di coltivazione che verranno a supportare e grazie a Sweet Seeds per queste meravigliose genetiche ๐Ÿ™โ˜บ๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

Welcome to the Green House CUP ๐Ÿ† Hi everyone :-) I hope you are all fine ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป. This week the lady has developed really well ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘, which probably has something to do with the Green House Powder feeding that she has been using for a few days ๐Ÿ˜Ž. I will top her tomorrow for the first time. After a few more days, I will spontaneously decide whether to do LST or a few more times top :-) Depending on what time allows and how it develops ๐Ÿค—. It seems to be a very nice genetics. This is how you are used to from Green House ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป. I wish you all a good start to the week, stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป and let it grow ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘ Green House Seeds Company Cup ๐Ÿ† Type: Wonder Pie โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Genetics: Wedding Cake x OG Kush ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W ๐Ÿ’ก Flower Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205 W ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’กโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Earth: Canna Bio โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Fertilizer: Bio Grow Feeding ( GHSC ) , Enhancer ( GHSC ) , Bio Bloom ( GHSC) โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฑ Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

-6/4/23 Start of Week --Week 11/Flower 5 -6/10/23 (Day 84/Flower 35) --Observations: starting to form calyxes, sent intensifying, --Changes: started giving water every other day --Comments: buds are starting to form calyxes and sent is getting stronger. still smells of lemons, it's hard to tell the difference between scent of the purple lemonade and the lemon basil. realized that not enough water was being given so now giving water every other day, may still not be enough water for all the plants in this pot. -6/10/23 End of Week

Day 35 Shes disappointed me a little with her stretch power, hopefully shes waiting to use her secret weapon a little later into flower. Also cleaned her up down the bottom as those leaves were completely in the shade. Shoot of her top of pot roots looks decent.

Going into this week on the 12/12 light schedule. It grew to about 10.5 inches from the light. The light is now up to 50% brightness. A full dose of bud candy was added, instead of the half added last week.

Well , these girls are just massive ๐Ÿ˜‚ I seriously have never saw this amount of growth in such a short time honestly ๐Ÿ˜‚ When I'm putting the height of the plants I'm measuring from the bottle of the soil to just above and what I like to call gestimating as its beyond difficult to measure so sorry about that in advance guys ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ I wish I had an amazing camera so you guys can fully see the extreme crazy growth amongst the canopy ! Had to give the girls another major trim As those fan leaves where multiplying , twisting and knotting and doing some crazy ๐Ÿ’ฉ Haha๐Ÿ˜‚ Now we have been in limbo with what to do with regards to the scrog , everytime we decide something we end up doing the opposit so just going to take it week by week, as you can see from the middle of the canopy those stems have been wrapped round the full tent nearly and still popping right up, so put them back under which I was initially not going to do but yeh lol! Still using cellmax nutrients a,b and flower... Feel like I should stop haha. Highly rate them guys the growth with this grow compared to last is outstanding! Apart from the crazy growth issues all is good ๐Ÿ˜ Dehumidifier is doing its job perfectly , we would appreciate a hand trimming them ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's the only negative I've got to say ๐Ÿ˜‚ Welcome to my garden of beautiful flowers ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ Happy growing buddy's ๐Ÿ˜โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿผ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

โ˜€๏ธ // Day 66 ๐Ÿ Chopping day Every grow must come to an end. Like I said in the Cookie Casket update, I can't be the only one who gets kinda sad when chopping down these plants. You take the best care you can for 4 months so that they're as happy and healthy as possible and from one day to the next, you kill them. That just breaks my heart, but that's how it is. I am telling myself that they basicially become a part of us through the endocannabinoid system, that actually helps haha This was my first grow with genetics from THC Titan. I had an amazing start, a very stressful mid section with mayor soil problems but in the end, it was a rather smooth sailing again. This plant was stabilized a week earlier than the Cookie Casket, that's why her leafs are not nearly as damaged. Overall, I am extremly happy with how this plant turned out. I expected a frost monster, but seeing that by myself in real life is just another experience. The trichome density and the thickness of the trichome heads is just unbelievable. I got a small bud pheno but I do not care at all about bud size. For me personally, buds need to be tight, rock hard and glistered with trichomes. As long as that is the case, I am happy WHEN IT COMES TO THE LOOKS. Of course, taste and effect is the most important aspect and I will tell you something about that in a month or so, when the final reviews come in. Another thing about the buds: The calyxes are extremly fat. 1 calyx from this plant equals 3-4 calyxes from the Cookie Casket plant and I just love that! It looks so amazing to me and the colors are also out of this world. A true deep purple. I cannot wait for their dryed look! Like I said, the review comes in about a month. I want to try them properly with a little cure in between. And I will update the review in months to come. So stay tuned for the harvest section. Thank you for hanging around here. I really love this community and I hope we all stick around for many years and experience this beloved hobby together! Peace, Ganjin ๐ŸŒฑ
