Sept 18th - LST scheduled for N.M. this evening. She is ready to be exposed - next meal 19th or 20th depending on moisture of the soil; 5L Congo / 4.5L N.M. (getting close to target) - might be a problem with the main stalk on the N.M. at the upper Topping site. A hole has appeared at the base of the upper Topping site. Sending it to “questions” w/ photo *** have released & removed Natural Mystic from this grow, so Congo can be considered on its own… Games, ok I’ll play - details for N.m. still to be relayed cuz its in the same soil/tent. Ohmmmmm 20th - kelp meal added to surface, scratched-in ~ 8 & 6 tbsp ea. - feeding tonight for sure; menu above, congo 5L / Nat Myst 4.5L 22nd - did a little defoliation in removing some of the leaves along the branches. Removing any Larf from this grow… Its the Colas we are after this grow - man has the Natural Mystic (guest) ever turned things up. Its hapnin. - wondering about the life expectancy of the Autoflower in the tent. The Northern Lites Express will dictate when “Lights-out” happens for these 3 photo-periods, as they then go into flower. May need all the room available lol as it looks like a 10 week veg is easily going to happen. (Not rushing auto) - Power Failure has entered the 3rd hour for half of Sarnia. Its all new for me on this one - just opened the tent doors for some air flow/O2 - 4+ Hour power outage last nite. Power returned and they will get a couple of hours of extra lite today Sept 24th - last day week 6 - 1/2 volume h2o / molasses tonight; 2.75L congo / 2.5L n.m. ***Oct 8 is Lights-out for 36 hours, heading into Flower. Northern lights Express auto… is going to take too long to finish, so it is being moved, and a 4-week old Green Mountain Grape will be taking its spot. This tent will be ready for flower with such a strange cast*** - 2x 9-week plants, 1 x 8-week plant and a 4-week old hybrid will be ready at lites-out in 2 weeks ** had to make a call, cant veg forever. My early LST actions really seem to have delayed basic bud development on the auto. Things are moving, just seems another 5-6 weeks is realistic for it

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

Continuing regimen of appx .75gal/plant nutrient top watering every 4-5 days alternating recharge .3-.4ish gal compost tea per plant. All other water coming from wicking bases only treated with 2ml/gal hydro guard. Lights are maxed out with us/ir 100% as well. All good so far. 👍

It’s been an accursed year for the grow cycle and we ran in to pretty much every problem you could have with these plants. Aphids, WPM, bud rot. The plant grew strong but the genetic does have some inherent fasciation qualities that were really prevalent with this plant. Not enough to consider unsuitable for breeding though. The bud quality of this strain alone and the overpowering high are just too good not to utilize👌🤟. Stay tuned - the rest are comin down in short order…

They have all started showing signs of flower and moving along quickly.Im seeing a huge stretch this week and the girls are filling out nicely.I have increased the se7000 to 60 percent light intensity and they are taking it well.Maybe I’ll add a net to get more light penetration or maybe not as I like to be able to spin the pots around.

Came in on Monday this week after first round of feeding the Friday before and the plants had all gone into full flower mode. They seem to be doing pretty good! It's been pretty hot this week but I feed just water every other day or when the soil is dry and feed them fertilizer every other watering with 1/4-1/2 strength

Day 92. Few more days for last Alaskan Diesel , amazing strain ! While chopping first two I ripped small bud and yesterday I tried it - piney, eucalyptus sweet diesel flavour ! Loved it ! Green Cracks getting frosty and calaxies start to form and fattening up ! So I think 2-3 weeks from now. Northern Lights are way behind, but smallest plant becomes a frosty tower ! Day 93. Last Alaskan Diesel is down. All info on strain harvest week . Rest keep going, think two weeks is max for Green Cracks. Happy Growing !!!

06/01/2020 Time to make the seeds! First my Cookie Cake F1 plant is a 7 star cookies male (Top dawg seeds) X a female Captains cake clone (Captains connection) and will be growing TLO Style. 7 Stars Cookies Strain | Marijuana Strain Reviews 50% Sativa /50% Indica THC: 22% - 27% 7 Stars Cookies is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through a potent cross of the classic F1 Durban X Girl Scout Cookies strains. This potent bud is infamous among cannabis users for its super high potency and long lasting effects that are perfect for any hybrid lover. The 7 Stars Cookies high starts with a rush of cerebral effects that rush though your mind, lifting your spirits and leaving you blissfully happy and unfocused. As your mind flies higher and higher, your body will begin to slip away into a state of deep relaxation that leaves you totally stoned and out of it. A sharp pang of hunger comes next, leaving you with a ravenous case of the munchies as your mind slips in and out of calming sedation. Thanks to these effects and its super high 22-28% THC level, 7 Star Cookies is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, insomnia, stress, depression, and migraines or headaches. This bud has a sweet citrusy flavor with hints of spicy earthy grape upon exhale. The aroma follows the same profile although with a light pungency to it. 7 Star Cookies buds have fluffy dense popcorn-shaped olive green nugs with bright orange hairs and golden crystal trichomes. Captain's Cake Marijuana Strain Information About Captain's Cake Hailing from the beautiful land of Maine, Captain’s Cake is brought to us by The Captain’s Connection. This indica-dominant strain boasts two pretty incredible parents, Girl Scout Cookies and White Fire Alien OG, making her a bud that offers great effects for both recreational and medical patients. While Captain’s Cake typically acts as a true hybrid, user sensitivity may dictate that your experience comes with the roll of the dice. A fairly potent strain in her own right, Captain’s Cake averages around 21% THC. Rumor has it that CBD levels can vary dramatically, with some reports showing a range between 1% and 15%. While that data remains to be confirmed, you can instead relish in beautiful buds that are bright green, featuring orange pistils and lovely amber trichomes. Oddly enough, flavors and scents do vary a bit with this strain, and you’ll notice it smells much worse than it tastes. A sour and earthy fragrance that includes lemon, nuts, and berries will hit you right away while your mouth enjoys a nutty vanilla cookie experience that’s slightly citrus-like. Captain’s Cake is awesome for those times when you need a boost of energy to get through a particularly trying task. Whether you’re experiencing the three o’clock workday slump or you simply have to clean the house before it gets any worse, this strain is here to help. Users note a euphoric boost that helps you to focus on your tasks while having a huge smile on your face, but keep in mind that this joyful experience can only last so long. Soon the munchies will hit, and after you’ve had your fill of snacks, you’ll be ready to settle in during a sedating comedown. Even if Captain’s Cake doesn’t have an astounding amount of CBD, medical patients still note that she’s a strain that is practically magical. Users find that mental woes are easily dissolved after taking a few hits, making stress and depression a thing of the past. Bodily aches and pains are also treated with a slight feeling of physical sedation, and those who struggle with their appetite will likely turn to this bud time and time again. This plant is an ideal choice for new and experienced growers, and the ability to cultivate inside or out makes her pretty versatile. Said to be a quick flowering strain, you’ll be gifted with a nicely sized yield after 8 to 9 weeks. Plants tend to grow fairly large, so make sure you have enough space dedicated to your crop before you begin. Depending on how you handle marijuana, Captain’s Cake may knock you out for an amazing nap or in some cases may fire you up with tons of energy. Others will experience a nice set of hybrid effects, so it’s best to know yourself before lighting this one up. Red Sky is Description The (paternal P1) father is the legendary Cherry Hemmingway male. A hybrid of a landrace Bhutan, and Rez Dog’s Firecracker (Williams Wonder x NYC Diesel). The female KOS’s own Skyanchor (Bogglegum x PSI) a cross using a prime selected male of BOG’s Bogglegum. A bad ass old-school hybrid made using a Northern Lights #5 (real deal) crossed to a Bubblegum (real deal). The female used to make the Skyanchor was my clone only PSI (Purple Salem Indica) that I was given by my good friend Keith, in Salem, OR, USA. Some kind of crazy old Purple Kush variant; potency is not only severe with this baby, but supernaturally intense. The Cherry Hemmy is well known by me to relate large yields and incredible vigor along with increased resin production, and also usually relates cream soda, vanilla, or cherry-ish terpenes, making exotic and addictive combinations when used as part of any hybrid. So, the Red Sky yields well—very well. Some truly legendary strains involved in this Small Batch Seed run. Great genetics equals great end results. I put video of Red Sky #3's brothers #2, and #4.

Let the Sun Shine! ☀️ The tide is finally turning! After about ten days of playing the waiting game with gloomy indoor skies, the weather has finally broken. The sun has been out for the last 2 days, and you can literally see the difference—the plants have immediately responded with a noticeable jump in growth. They were definitely eager to put some work in once the light finally showed up! Training & Development: 🌿 I’ve decided to start some LST (Low-Stress Training) this week to help open things up and maximize my space. I’ve started training the Banana Purple Punch and the Amnesia Haze, which you can see starting to take shape in the photos. I’ve decided to let the Lemon Cherry Cookies do her own thing and grow "naturally" for now—it’ll be interesting to see the structural contrast later on. Feeding Strategy: The experiment is officially in full swing: Team Organic: I’m still sticking to plain tap water for the Banana Purple Punch and Amnesia Haze. They seem perfectly content, and I plan to hold off on any additional feeding until I see them transitioning into the flowering phase. Team Mineral: The Lemon Cherry Cookies and Bruce Banner received their very first light dose of Hesi mineral nutrients today. I’m starting low and slow to see how they handle it. Maintenance & Outlook: 🛡️ I also did some preventative maintenance yesterday by spraying a Neem oil solution to keep any potential pests at bay. You can definitely tell they’ve had a tough 1.5 weeks living without supplemental lighting, but the forecast is looking much brighter now. They are hungry for those rays and ready to start packing on some real growth. I’m feeling much more optimistic now that the weather is finally playing along—time to let them hit the gas! May the green thumb be with you 💚
