Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

Pretty uneventful week... just keeping a level canopy and letting them fill in.

Welcome to week 7 of my White Cheese by Zambeza seeds Looking good, nearing the finish, i think 2 weeks more When the soil gets dry a bit (flushed with calcium after some nute burn) i will feed the last round with green sensation and molasses.

🌸 Critical Orange Punch – Week 6 Flowering | Enter Overdrive Critical Orange Punch is now showing off its compact and resinous nature.

Maximum fidelity to the AN recipe.

1/11/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I have a root almost in the water.. Yay!! Top feeding is almost done. she is looking a little sad as I work the transition Top feeding but once the roots are fully in the water she will start to take off. Ensured my PPFD is set between 250-300 it is set to: 258 1/12/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I have a root in the water.... NO TOP FEED TODAY SIR!!! now that a root is touching the water and she looks stable, I am not going to topfeed, I will see how she looks tomorrow and as long as everything looks good I am going to go ahead and do a change and week 1 fill on Nutes.. I know it is a couple of days in but the same Nutes go through Week 2 and get changed at Week 3 So I should be good to go.. I will just ensure I fill to root touching the water when I change tomorrow. 1/13/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- Water Change Day!! I added 36 Gallons of Water to the system: Silica= .5mil/gal= 18mil CalMag= .75mil/gal = 27mil FloraMicro=3.0mil/gal = 108mil FloraGro=2.0mil/gal = 72mil FloraBloom= 2.0mil/gal = 72mil PH DOWN= 30mil Very important thing with this system is to now wait the 24 hours for the system to adjust.. Do not make any further adjustments to your PH up or Down for 24 hours to allow time for the system to balance. 1/14/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I just adjusted the PH to ensure that it was right at 6.0 1/15/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today I Cleaned up the lower damaged leaves from the transition from top feeding to roots in the water. She looks good today. 1/16/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I just took a picture of the beautiful lady for Log. Other than that just normal day to day operations, check the pH, check the Humidifiers and fill as necessary, check level of water in the Res. Everything looks great. onto Tomorrow!! 1/17/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Today I filled the humidifers, checked the PH and just let her grow.. Grow baby Grow.....

Start of week 5 gonna hit these girls with some water ph’d a little bit higher see if that helps with the white tips but seems to be doing better Update 3/13: fed them with 1/3 of a gallon each plant with feed ph’d at 7.5 blue lab pen said my soil ph was at 5.7 causing the white tips let’s see how these girls do within the next 3 days 3/17 update soil PH has been brought up to 6.5.. all good and doing wat better end of week 5

What do u think i got 200g dry.

Week Twelve Flower Week 6 and so far so okay. I got worried about nanas on the sfv, but it turned out it was just new growth. The fungus gnats came back, stronger than before, so I covert the soil with sand to prevent them from laying more eggs. Alle the plants looking fine, on some days I had to fight high humidity and temps. This will bite me a week later, check week 13 ;)

Mm, i feel contant, they both look great in their late flowering. I feel minimum intervention on West Coast OG was better idea, cuz it looks to have more yeld. Californian Snow lost some time in recovery.

Hello growers, for the fact that I just started growing, I'm happy with how my growth looks, I can't compare to you professionals, but I'm learning, I also bought books about growing... in conclusion, I'll just add that those plants are fascinating, each one is different and has its own beautiful in a way...

23 May 2021 Today starts week 17 of my grow, which means I just have 3 more full weeks left till HARVEST!!! I’ve gotten to a point where watering/feeding every day is too much, but watering every 2 days is insufficient. I’m going to try and start watering in the evening (like today), and then skipping tomorrow, but watering earlier in the day on the second day. Hopefully that will be better. I have to be honest.... I’m sick of this plant. Not in a bad way, I’m just NEVER going to let a plant veg for 10 weeks again!! Especially when the strain I’m growing has a 10 week flowering time to mature. My pH meter is officially broken. I tried calibrating it today, and it was almost 4 full points higher than what it was supposed to be. Anyway, I used the last week feed chart today, but I believe I’m going to shift the next feeding to the ripening stage so I can do that the next 2 weeks, then flush for the last full week before harvest. So I fed the same as I have been. I chilled 1 gallon of water to 51 degrees F, then added CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml. I normally have to add somewhere between 2-3 ml’s of pH UP, so today I added 2.5ml. The TDS was 932 ppm, and the runoff TDS was 3386 ppm. The soil was super dry, and there was hardly any runoff. Which is why I’m going to adjust the feeding schedule to be every 1.5 days. 🤷‍♂️ 25 May 2021 My plan to feed early today was thwarted by the need to find a new pH meter because I switched up my nutrients today and I have no idea how to adjust them without a new meter. So, I spent the day searching and looking through 8 different stores until someone finally recommended a shop i’d never heard of before. And, it had everything a grower could ever need!! Awesome shop! More expensive than Amazon, but it’s local and has anything I might need in a pinch. Anyway, I shifted to the Ripening Stage today, and with the assistance of that shop keeper, I got a new supplement for late stage blooming! I’m adding General Hydroponics - KoolBloom (2-45-28). Just a half tsp in a gallon of water. So with that, I also stopped giving CALiMAGic as directed on the feed chart, but still gave FloraMicro 5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 6.0, so I added pH UP 3ml, which adjusted the pH to 6.5. TDS was 801 ppm going in. The runoff pH was 5.7, and TDS was 3688 ppm. Tent temp was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 45%. The plant is smelling strong now and trichome formation is doing well. 27 May 2021 Possible disaster in The_Good_Twin’s grow room!! The AC in my house died yesterday, and it got up to 93 degrees F inside my grow tent. 🤭 there was nothing I could do except open it up and add more fans. I tried adding a bucket of ice in front of the fans, but that didn’t do much. All my efforts got the tent down to 91 degrees F, but that’s it. I was afraid to look at it today, but it doesn’t look any different at first glance. The AC tech is fixing my issue, so I’m going to feed as soon as he’s gone. I’m keeping with the ripening level of nutrients. Continuing to add the KoolBloom .5tsp, FloraMicro 5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml added to a gallon of chilled water (53.2 degrees F). The initial pH was 6.1. I added pH UP 2.5ml, which adjusted the pH to 6.6. The TDS in was 749 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS was 3252 ppm. The AC is fixed now, so I hope all continues to go well. 29 May 2021 Today is the last day of week 17. I am continuing with the ripening feed stage for another week after today. The temperature in the tent has cooled down some to 77 degrees F, and the humidity was 45%. I didn’t have time to chill the water much today and was 72 degrees F at the time given. Nutrients given: KoolBloom .5 tsp, FloraMicro 5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 6.2, so no adjustment was needed. The TDS in was 1000 ppm. The runoff pH was 6.0, and TDS runoff was 2535 ppm. The buds are getting bigger, and more frosty with trichomes. The smell is wonderful as well. Just 2 more weeks till harvest.

Hi all I hope you had a wonderful Christmas 👍 So I got curious a few days ago and decided to have a fiddle with one of the buds from the Girl scout cookies plant. I let it dry in a paper bag first and then had a sqizz at it. After I tore it apart I was pleased to find a nice fat healthy seed (see 1st pic) well after that I thought to myself Bloody hell mate there must be a heap more of those fellas in there then, so with that in mind I harvested the whole plant. After that lot was dried I tore into it looking for more seeds (see video) but unfortunately I only ended up with the three viable seeds the others I found were either green or already damaged. Not to worry as atleast I have those three to attempt germination with which is better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick as my old man likes to say. Ive partaken in a few bonghits as I write this of the Girl scout cookies bud that I harvested and I can tell you its some nice shit man 😁 The Gelato Plant will be harvested tomorrow and Im hoping that may have some seed aswell. The whole purpose of this experiment was to cross the Barneys Farm Red Diesel Feminised Pollen I created with a good tasty strain in an attempt in creating seed. So as far as that part goes & even tho I only got the three seeds I feel it was mostly a Success. I will definatey need to refine both my Pollen collecting and Pollinating techniques to achieve better results. Thankyou to all who followed along I enjoyed doing this diary. Now to see if I can get the seeds to Germinate .......................................................................Update 3rd Jan 2020 I have got one to pop and the Diary for it will be called Ginger Nuts

The plants are growing fast, we forgot to check pH in this week but no problems.

Is it ok to chop small bud near bottom for smoke ? I’m just can’t wait for this

All g .

Really coming along nice trying to get established in case I am called away for work or anything else over summer ideally these ladies will continue getting fed as long is there given clean balance water I’m going to hit em heavy with seabird guano at flower, probably crank up the molasses on that end, really just properly letting water sit oxygenated mixing and letting solutions hit microbial levels that put the real work in, I’m hitting with a nute I’m making myself 3 times a week at point all water is being carbon filter dechlorinated the aerated then to casting or mycorrhizae brews that I rotate my mycorrhizae brew is Bigfoot water soluble and dechlorinated water except I do more then recommended ok on the each time. Results are stunning my cover are dense earthy and rich bio smells tons of spiders and other good predators a large toad made a home in the clover also he must be chowing cause he’s healthy. I will be making a drive and coming back with a bunch of nutes I’m picking up out of state as well as some Carolina mantis cocoon I’m staying up on pest this year. I’m steady rotating neem bt since birth I’m not fucking around this time. Crank up concentration slowly but hitting light preventative pest spraying at least twice per week as it get warmer I’m gonna be in a constant panic about the stupid moths. Plants drink a lot of water already and technically my outdoor season has not begun for most around me till Mother’s Day. I’m already 11 weeks deep. Cages are rough on leaves but I’m not to worried about the ladies are Strong a week of cages they Wii all be locked hugging there cage in place. Something in particular that’s rather stunning is the leaf quality health of all strains, it’s def what I’m doing with the soil. it appears that microbiological forces at work influences aspects of the plants of which results I’d yet to receive. The greenness and the crisp leaf sound when the leaf’s brush against something. Getting REALLY Excited about things! near perfect start. My big healthy wendigo not the cripple is def a top perform when I comes to sheer mass that is because that plant is super definitely tallest sitting at about 2ft. They are topping and splitting real well, black phoenix v2 isn’t performing to my expectations so far, though it’s new branches that coming in will be game changer come solstice. So we are now over month and a half left of healthy veg and flower stretch on these, all things willing I’m betting three these size ration looking for. (12ft or bust) Hoku seems to be great seeds for people trying to do outdoor for quantity. Mind you I have yet to see the flower this is mere speculation from what I’m witnessing of its veg time. The gluey c99 though.. that plants a straight beauty. Short but kicking perfectly shaped little sativa shaped hybrid leafs this plant took to topping perf one the best veg ladies I’ve ever had In this garden so far. Not the tallest but a stunner none the less. The snow jokez are really going for the gain lane too both are topped real well but one particular was my earliest successful top I was able to establish clean two cola fresh off the rip. Perfect fork Excited if these end up becoming trees all these stems and tops are gonna be bursting out the seams. Really want to find something cool to make our massive outdoor cannabis stem knots into one of days if anyone seen any thing cool holler fs. So I did not anticipate the plants flowering so quickly and will be monitoring the situation in the case I need to remove small flowers with a nice top on everything going two weeks or so into may. Got small bud sites developing on every plant.

During this week the plant start stretching more and more every day at the end of that week reached 76cm,she had a nutrient lock this week but I flushed her with PHed water to clean the soil from salts and unused nutrients ,seems that that worked, also pre-flowering signs shown ,I am going to change on flower nuts next week.

Desarrollo espectacular! Se hizo una poda foliar para mejorar la circulación del aire. Esta es la última semana que se aplica abonado y empezaremos con solo agua en pequeñas cantidades. Los cogollos tienen muy buena pinta!

Week 8 in the books, cruising to the finish line two more hard watering each and 48 hrs of darkness starting Friday. Genetics: Natty Roots Seed Co Instagram: @green_house_lab
