Week 12 of Gelato 41 by seedstockers, Just look at that growthπŸ˜‚ Shes been loving the rain it looks like 😍 Showing no pest issues... showing no nutrition issues either. Her colour is beautiful 😍 Letting her soak up all that rain water from the pot. Probably wont water for 7days to see how she does. Have Still been morning spraying them when its not pouring with rain. Also topped her on a branches they i felt like needed it.

First time grower - Day 3 - Seedling Stage Unknown strain, hopefully its a female Light meter currently reads 101 lux x100 Should I give it more lighting or put it closer to the plant? Using roots organic soil, should I prepare for nutrient feeding after week 1? And if yes, what nutrients should I feed them?

Everything so far so good Blue cheese on the left Sweet zz on the right, RQS recommend with the blue cheese to LST during week 3 so decided I’d just do it on the sweet ZZ aswell. Never trained a plant before think it went well tho.

4/28 Day 35 I wish this plant was bigger. Could be my fault. Her transition to flower was at such an odd time(3weeks) and that’s when her last feeding was coming to an end but should I give her flower nutes early? Do half an half? Or just wait and then give flower? I waited and I shouldn’t have considering that organic inputs take time to feed your plants. Depending on what you’re using. First time trying Gaia green. I do like the ease of it but it would take some adjustments for me to utilize it best. A month between feeding is too long for my impatient ass and it gives me too long of a commitment to not fuck up. I’m also using roots organics with some other plants and I’m really liking the weekly feedings. It makes more sense than a month. What if I have a strain that’s like 10 week flower? Do I just do another dose at week 7 and 8 and then because it’s β€œorganic you don’t need to flush” thing. Probably over thinking it but yeah here’s my plant yall πŸ˜‚

My Strawberry Gorilla plant is coming along, though it's a bit more delicate than my Gorilla Cookies. It's still showing some nice growth under the lights, but it's definitely a bit more sensitive. I'm keeping a close eye on it, and I'm hopeful that it'll start to thrive soon. I'm starting to get a faint whiff of that sweet, fruity aroma, so I know there's potential there! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

Well after asking some questions I discovered that all the autopots were 7 or more ph So I flushed plants down to 6.3ish and dumped entire autopot system. I had been checking reisvor but not the actual pots. They are freshly fed and phd down to 5.9. I hope that helps All the new growth looks green. i'm hoping things are better and just a bit stunted. Definitly FAR from where it should be though After a few days the res is 5.9 but the damn pots are fucking 7 again! I'm not gonna flush these bitches again. i dropped the res to 5.5 and mixxed in some of that in the autopots and the are now 6.2ish. Fuck it I hope that helps, they seem to be doing ok, so I think it was just on the edge of the spectrum. I hope dropping the PH gradually a bit works πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I have two plants that look good but small. 1 plant that looks small and fucked and one that looks big and fucked. I'm just looking for a game finish achievement Not much change over the last few days. more of the bottom leaves are yellowing and i can tell the plants are suffering but i think i just have to play this out. PH was 7 again in the res so i lowered it down to 6.2 and finally got a water pump in there. i'm hoping it circulates the water and helps keep the ph in check. The pots are higher again 6.6ish... This next feeding i will blast that down to 5.5 and try and hold it there a week. I got the tent camera going so i have a live feed up too. Its nice!

Day 125. Chop day. Report will follow, maybe smoke quality will be that only positive thing in all dirt that this strain brought me .... Dry triming chosen. Plants where such crap that never got names even, so Smaller and Taller plant is chopped. Other two went hermie.

We had a couple unseasonably warm days this week, our wood furnace was going when the temps went up. The tent hit 27.5 degrees one day?, which resulted in the heat damage to the leaves. The leaves are also starting to die back faster. I have a feeling they may determine my harvest day instead of my trichomes. Still only some amber, maybe 5-10%, the rest are cloudy with very, very few clear

πŸ’Ž 8Γ—8 Adventure – Week 14 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A πŸ‘‘ Part 1: The Queen Has Spoken… Harvest Me, DogDoctor! πŸ’Žβœ‚οΈπŸŒΈπŸ“Έ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸŒ±πŸ’š Well, my friends… Our not-so-humble plant. Our not-so-humble cultivar. Our beautiful Black Diamond. πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘βœ¨ After weeks of watching her grow, build, stack, frost up, and make herself noticed in the room, she finally gave me the message I'd been expecting. "DogDoctor… PLEASE HARVEST ME." πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž And you know what? That's exactly what we did. But not before giving this girl one last opportunity to shine in front of the camera. Because if there's one thing Black Diamond Pheno A has earned throughout this adventure, it's a proper goodbye to the tent. And when I say goodbye, I don't mean we're finished documenting her. Not even close! This is simply the end of her flowering chapter inside the tent. There's still trimming, drying, weighing, curing, and eventually a proper smoke review to come. So consider this Part 1 of her harvest story: the last day in the tent, the photography, the breakdown, and the beginning of her drying journey. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ“Έ And before we get started, a small explanation for everyone following the diary. ──────────────────────── πŸ“’ WHY ARE WE STILL POSTING THIS UNDER A FLOWERING WEEK? First things first! Yes, this update is still being published as a flowering-week report, even though Black Diamond has now been harvested. And there's a very simple reason for that. GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photos per update, and between the harvest, studio photography, photo stacking, trimming, drying, and eventual smoke report, we have far more material to share than we can comfortably fit into one harvest entry. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ’Ž I don't want to throw everything into one report, squeeze the story until it barely makes sense, or leave out photographs and details that deserve to be seen. So we're splitting the journey into separate chapters. This first part covers her final day in the tent, the last photographs of the living plant, the photo-stacking session, the breakdown, and the start of drying. The next chapters will continue with the rest of her harvest journey, including the trimming and drying updates, the final results, and the smoke review when we get there. That way, we can give this girl the attention she deserves without trying to squeeze an entire harvest into a single update. And honestly? After following her for so many weeks, I think she deserves more than one final goodbye. πŸ’šπŸŒΏ So, for anyone wondering why a harvested plant is appearing in a flowering-week update… That's the reason! We're keeping the diary moving while giving her harvest story the space it needs. ──────────────────────── πŸ’Ž THE LAST DAY IN THE TENT Let's take a moment to appreciate how we got here. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A was part of our 8Γ—8 Adventure, where twelve plants shared the same general environment, lighting schedule, and overall growing conditions. One room. One shared stage. Twelve different stories. And this girl? She decided to make hers unforgettable. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‘πŸ’Ž From the early stages, she developed into a magnificent plant with a beautiful structure and an impressive collection of flowering sites. As the weeks progressed, we watched her build. We watched the flowers develop. We watched the frost become more apparent. We watched those colas become increasingly impressive. And, of course, we watched that main cola claim its place in the spotlight while the rest of the plant seemed determined to remind us that it wasn't the only one worth photographing. πŸ˜‚πŸŒΈ Remember the song? "Shining bright like a diamond…" Well, I think we can officially retire that joke now. Actually, no. Let's not get carried away. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She's still Black Diamond, and I'm probably going to keep humming that song every time I look at her photographs. But the important thing is that this beautiful phenotype has now reached the end of her time in the tent. The flowering chapter is complete. And today, we get to appreciate the result of that journey before moving into the next stage. ──────────────────────── 🌸 ONE LAST LOOK BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE Before taking her out of the tent, I wanted to capture her beauty one last time. The colours. The flowers. The overall structure. The individual colas. The details that make this particular phenotype so special. And I'm really happy we did. Because once the plant is taken down and broken apart, we can still photograph individual flowers, but we can never recreate that exact moment when the whole living plant is standing there in her environment. That's why I wanted those final photographs. I wanted to remember her as she was. Standing in the tent. Surrounded by the equipment and lights that had been part of her journey. Looking absolutely beautiful. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ“Έ And then came the next part. Taking her out of the tent and into the studio. Because apparently, even after growing a beautiful plant for weeks, I'm still not finished taking photographs of her. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ THE PHOTO-STACKING SESSION β€” PATIENCE, LIGHTS AND A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS Now, this is where things get particularly interesting for me. Because some of you might look at a final macro photograph and think: "Beautiful picture!" And that's exactly the reaction I hope to get. But there's a whole process behind that final image. Photo stacking is not simply pointing the camera at a flower, pressing the shutter once, and calling it a day. It's a process that takes time, patience, attention, and a little bit of stubbornness. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ”¬ For this session, I took Black Diamond into the studio and worked with my lighting setup to get the look I wanted. I'm using three or four LED lights from SmallRig, positioning and adjusting the light to bring out the details while keeping the final image as close as possible to the visual result I'm looking for. Light makes an enormous difference in macro photography. The angle. The intensity. The shadows. The highlights. The way the surface details catch the light. All of it changes how the final photograph looks. And because I want to show the flowers in as much detail as possible, I spend time getting the lighting right before and during the process. It's not just about making the image bright. It's about making the details visible. πŸ’‘πŸ“ΈπŸ’Ž Then comes the stacking itself. Instead of relying on a single photograph to show the entire subject in focus, I take a sequence of images with different focus positions. Those images are then merged into one final photograph, combining the sharp areas from across the sequence. The result can show far more of the subject in focus than a single frame would normally capture at this magnification. But the process takes time. A lot of time. And sometimes… A LOT of photographs. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ ──────────────────────── πŸ”¬ 321 PHOTOS… 347… 365… 399… 596… 599! Let's talk numbers, because the photographs we're sharing tell their own story. The smallest stack in this selection contains 321 photographs merged into one image. And the largest? 599 photographs merged into one final stack. Five hundred and ninety-nine. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž At that point, I think we can safely call it a 600-photo stack. One photograph short, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ The other stacks include sequences of 347, 365, 399, and 596 photographs, among others. Every stack represents a series of individual frames that have to be captured and processed to create the final result. And when you see the finished image, it's easy to forget how much work went into it. That's why I also shared a video of me actually doing the photo stacking. I wanted to give everyone a better idea of what happens behind the scenes. You can see the process. You can see how the work progresses. And you can get a sense of how much patience goes into creating these images. It's not necessarily as slow as it might sound, and we managed to photograph a lot of material during the session. But it certainly isn't instant. πŸ˜‚πŸ”¬πŸ“Έ And honestly? I love it. I love the process. I love the challenge. I love watching all those individual frames come together. And I love seeing the final result when the details become visible in a way that a single photograph simply couldn't reproduce. ──────────────────────── πŸ’Ž WHY I LOVE PHOTO STACKING For me, photo stacking is another way of appreciating the plant. We spend weeks watching the whole plant develop. We look at the canopy. We follow the branches. We compare the colas. We watch the flowers change. But when you move into macro photography, you enter another world entirely. Suddenly, the details become the subject. You can explore the textures, the shapes, the colours, and the intricate surface of an individual flower. You can take something you've been looking at for weeks and appreciate it from a completely different perspective. And that's what makes this process so enjoyable for me. It's not just about taking a pretty photograph. It's about looking closer. It's about curiosity. It's about patience. And it's about the satisfaction of creating an image that represents the subject the way I want to show it. πŸ’šπŸ“ΈπŸ”¬ Some people enjoy growing. Some people enjoy photography. Some people enjoy both. And apparently, I enjoy growing a plant for weeks and then spending even more time photographing the hell out of it. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž But that's part of the fun. And if the final photographs make somebody stop scrolling for a moment and appreciate the details, then all that time was worth it. ──────────────────────── πŸŽ₯ A LITTLE BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO Alongside the photographs, I also shared a video of me working through the photo-stacking process. I wanted to show the reality behind the finished images. Because a finished macro photograph can look simple when you see it on a screen. But behind that final result are the individual frames, the focus changes, the lighting decisions, and the time spent bringing everything together. The video gives you a glimpse of that process. It's a little reminder that the photograph isn't always just one photograph. Sometimes it's hundreds of them. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ And when you're looking at a 599-image stack, you can appreciate why patience is such a big part of the process. I hope you enjoy seeing a little of the work that happens outside the tent, because documenting this adventure isn't just about the plants. It's also about the photography, the equipment, the experiments, and the things I enjoy learning along the way. ──────────────────────── βœ‚οΈ FROM THE TENT TO THE BREAKDOWN Once the photography was done, it was time to move on. Black Diamond was taken out of the tent, and we began breaking the plant down for drying. This is where the story changes. We move away from the living plant and into the post-harvest stage. I removed the fan leaves and the larger leaves that I didn't want to keep with the flowers during drying. Then I broke the plant down into smaller sections rather than leaving the whole plant intact. It's not what I'd call a full wet trim. It's closer to a light, partial trim before drying. The aim here was to remove the larger unwanted foliage and prepare the flowers for the next stage, while leaving the detailed trimming work for later. And yes… those beautiful big buds we spent weeks admiring? They were broken down into smaller sections for the drying process. πŸ˜‚βœ‚οΈπŸŒΈ I know. I know. We spent all those weeks talking about her beautiful colas, her impressive flowers, and how she was shining like a diamond. And then I came along with the scissors. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ But that's part of the process. The plant has reached the end of her time in the tent, and now we're preparing her for the next stage of the journey. The flowering chapter is over. The drying chapter begins. ──────────────────────── 🧀 THE GLOVE TELLS A STORY β€” LOOK AT THAT RESIN! Now, this is one of those little details I really wanted to include. While bucking the plant down and handling the flowers, resin started accumulating on my glove. And when I looked at it… well… I had to take a photograph. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ§€ Look at that! This girl has been building resin throughout her flowering journey, and the glove gives us a very visual reminder of just how sticky things became during the breakdown. The plant was still fresh at this point, so the resin on the glove was collected from handling the living, freshly harvested material. That's why I jokingly call it a little bit of charas in the context of the harvest. Strictly speaking, resin collected on a glove isn't automatically the same thing as finished charas, but you get the idea. πŸ˜‚πŸŒΏπŸ’Ž It's a lovely little behind-the-scenes detail, and I think the photograph makes the point beautifully. We can talk about frost. We can talk about resin. We can take hundreds of macro photographs. But sometimes all it takes is one glove covered in sticky resin to make you stop and say: "Okay, Black Diamond… I see you!" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She certainly left her mark. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ THE DRYING CHAPTER BEGINS After the breakdown and initial preparation, we placed the flowers on the drying rack and moved her into a separate drying tent. The rest of the 8Γ—8 Adventure is continuing in the original room, with the other plants still growing and following their own timelines. Black Diamond has moved into a different space for this next stage. And, of course, that space is kept completely dark for drying. Her time under the flowering lights is over. Now it's time for a different environment and a different kind of patience. πŸŒ‘πŸŒΈ For the initial drying period, our intended environmental starting point is approximately: 🌑️ Temperature: 20–21Β°C πŸ’§ Relative humidity: around 45% initially, with the intention of moving toward approximately 60% as the drying environment is adjusted. These are the intended starting conditions for this stage, rather than a claim that the environment has already remained at those values continuously. The initial lower humidity is part of the plan to help manage the moisture still present in the freshly harvested flowers. We'll be watching how the drying environment behaves and adjusting our approach as the process progresses. The longer-term aim is to maintain a stable, suitable drying environment rather than chase numbers without considering the actual conditions. And this is important: The drying process is not finished just because the plant has been harvested and placed on a rack. This is the beginning of another stage that deserves its own attention. The flowers still contain substantial moisture, and the way they dry will influence the quality of the final result. So now we wait, observe, and document. πŸŒ¬οΈπŸŒΈπŸ’š ──────────────────────── ⏳ HOW LONG WILL SHE DRY? Normally, the drying period in my experience can fall somewhere around one to two weeks, but that is a general expectation, not a deadline. It can vary depending on the temperature, relative humidity, airflow, the size and density of the material, and how the conditions behave over time. Two harvests don't necessarily dry at the same speed. Even within the same harvest, different sections can behave differently. So we're not going to decide in advance that Black Diamond must be ready on a particular day. We'll monitor the process and see how she progresses. The next report will give us an opportunity to discuss how long she's been drying, how stable the conditions have been, and what we're observing as the process continues. For now, she's resting. The lights are off. The flowers are on the rack. And the camera work continues. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸŒΈ We'll let time tell us when the next chapter is ready. ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ FROM FLOWERING LIGHTS TO THE DARKROOM One of the interesting things about this transition is how quickly the environment around the plant changes. For weeks, we've been talking about the flowering room. The Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. The additional lighting capability. The approximate 1,500 PPFD reference across the upper canopy. The shared 12/12 schedule. The Lumiflora lighting deeper in the canopy. The TrolMaster equipment helping us monitor and manage the environment. And now? Black Diamond has left all of that behind. πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She's no longer part of the active flowering canopy. She's in a separate drying space, in darkness, beginning a completely different stage. The rest of the room is still going. The other plants haven't suddenly decided to follow her. They're continuing their own journeys, and we'll keep documenting them individually. That's another important part of the 8Γ—8 Adventure. Not every plant reaches the same point at the same time. Each one has her own timeline. Black Diamond has told us she's ready to leave the tent. And now we're giving her the next chapter. ──────────────────────── 🌿 A QUICK LOOK BACK β€” FROM SEED TO HARVEST Before we close this first part, I want to look back at the journey. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A was grown from seed under a 12/12 light schedule from the beginning. That was part of the wider 8Γ—8 Adventure, where we followed different plants and phenotypes sharing the same general environment. From the early stages, she behaved beautifully. She developed into a magnificent plant. She built an impressive structure. She produced a beautiful collection of flowers. She gave us those colas that kept making me stop and take another look. And as the weeks progressed, she became one of the plants in the room that was impossible to ignore. πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘πŸŒΈ Her main cola was beautiful, but the rest of the plant wasn't interested in taking a supporting role. The other flowering sites kept developing, and the whole plant became a beautiful example of her own individual expression. That's what made her so much fun to follow. We weren't trying to make her behave like the other plants. We were observing what she did under the same general conditions. And she gave us her own answer. A beautiful Black Diamond Auto phenotype, grown from seed under 12/12, now ready to leave the tent and begin the post-harvest journey. From seed to a magnificent plant. From flowering to harvest. And now, from harvest into drying. One chapter closes. Another begins. πŸ’šπŸŒ±πŸ’Ž ──────────────────────── πŸ”¬ THE 8Γ—8 ADVENTURE β€” SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES Black Diamond's harvest also reminds us of the original idea behind this entire project. Twelve plants sharing one room. The same general environmental framework. The same lighting schedule. The same overall approach to nutrition and care. And then we observe what each plant does. Some grow taller. Some remain more compact. Some develop particular flower structures. Some move faster. Some take longer. And eventually, they reach their own milestones. Black Diamond has now reached hers. But the 8Γ—8 Adventure continues. The other plants are still in the room, still developing, and still writing their own stories. We'll continue giving each phenotype her own report, because every plant deserves to be documented as an individual rather than simply becoming one photograph in a group. And Black Diamond? She's earned her own harvest series. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘ ──────────────────────── πŸ’Ž PART 1 COMPLETE β€” BUT HER STORY IS FAR FROM OVER So, my friends, this is the end of the first part of Black Diamond Auto Pheno A's harvest journey. We said goodbye to her in the tent. We took her into the studio. We photographed her. We created photo stacks containing hundreds of individual frames. We shared a glimpse of the process in a behind-the-scenes video. We broke her down. We removed the larger unwanted leaves. We prepared the flowers for drying. And we discovered that she was more than happy to leave a little resin behind on the glove. πŸ˜‚πŸ§€πŸ’Ž She's now resting in the drying tent, in darkness, while the rest of the 8Γ—8 Adventure continues in the flowering room. But don't worry. This isn't the final report. We still have more to share. The drying process deserves its own update. The trimming deserves its own attention. The final results deserve their moment. And, when the time comes, we'll sit down for the smoke review and talk about the experience of the finished product. We're not going to rush those chapters just to close the diary. We'll document them as they happen. For now, we're simply marking the end of her time in the tent and the beginning of everything that follows. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΈπŸŒ¬οΈ ──────────────────────── πŸ’­ FINAL THOUGHTS β€” THE QUEEN HAS LEFT THE TENT Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. Our not-so-humble girl. Our beautiful diamond. Our queen of the 8Γ—8. πŸ‘‘πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏ After weeks of growing, stacking, developing, and shining, she finally gave me the message: "Please harvest me." And that's what we did. Not before giving her one last photographic session. Not before taking her into the studio. Not before creating stacks containing 321, 347, 365, 399, 596, and 599 photographs. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ’Ž Not before breaking her down and seeing the resin collecting on the glove. And not before making sure that her next chapter was ready to begin. She's now in the drying tent, in darkness, resting on the rack. The next stage will take the time it takes. We'll observe. We'll document. We'll see how the conditions behave. And we'll share the results in the next chapters. I'm incredibly happy with how this journey has unfolded. Not just because of the beautiful plant we've harvested, but because of everything we've been able to document along the way. The growth. The differences between phenotypes. The photography. The experiments. The unexpected lessons. And now, the harvest. That's what this adventure is about. It's about growing, learning, observing, and sharing the journey honestly. And Black Diamond has given us a beautiful story from beginning to end of flowering. So, my precious diamond… Thank you for the show. Thank you for the photographs. Thank you for the resin-covered glove. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ§€ And thank you for making me hum that damn song every time I walked into the room. "Shining bright like a diamond…" Of course you were. πŸ’Žβœ¨πŸ‘‘ Your time in the tent is over. But your story isn't finished. Rest well, beautiful girl. We'll see you in the next chapter. ──────────────────────── πŸ™ THANK YOU β€” TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THIS JOURNEY POSSIBLE A massive thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document this adventure, share our observations, and keep the individual stories of these plants alive from seed to harvest. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond Auto genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this beautiful phenotype throughout her journey. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition used throughout the run. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup in the 8Γ—8. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And a special shoutout to SmallRig for the LED lighting equipment helping me create the studio setup I use for my photography. Getting the light where I want it is a big part of the process, and those lights are part of how I work toward the images I want to produce. πŸ’‘πŸ“ΈπŸ’š Finally, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every photograph you stop to look at. Every bit of support. It genuinely means a lot. And thank you to Black Diamond herself for giving us such a beautiful plant to document. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ‘‘ 24 cultivars. One room. Different genetics. Different stories. And one beautiful Black Diamond who has now moved from the flowering tent into the drying tent. The next chapter is already underway. We'll keep documenting. We'll keep learning. We'll keep sharing the process. And we'll give her the time she needs. Growers Love, my friends. πŸ’šπŸŒ± Happy growing, take care everyone… And remember: This is Part 1 of the harvest story. The Queen has left the tent, but the final chapters are still to come. πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘πŸŒΈπŸŒ¬οΈ See you in the next update! πŸ“ΈπŸ’š

Random bagseed I found, was my first plant. Even though I messed up a lot and this plant didn't turn out as I had hoped, it was an invaluable learning experience and I look forward to using what I learned to make my future plants greater. Wet Trimmed and placed in jars in the mini-fridge to dry.

Beginning of week.. She doesn't have many pistils turning.. Some tho.. This is going to be a long flowering strain.. Not many milky trichomes yet either.. She is very stinky lol.. Hope she is ready for a flushing soon! Mid week.. Still just doin her thing.. Pistils still slowly turning.. Still smells like piss lol till you rub the trichomes.. Then you smell the sweet piney dankness.. Not a bad strain.. Just a long flowering period.. Can't complain lol. I'm ready to start flushing.. But she's not.. Maybe I could just start flushing and flush her for a good 3 or 4.. Or however many weeks it takes till she's ready.. I've flushed a plant for a good 4 or 5 weeks before.. Leaves looked like shit but the bud was still great.. That was the Zkittlez Glue actually since I counted the flowering weeks wrong.. Hmm.. Nah I'm gonna wait another week before I even think about flushing. I am seeing some milky/cloudy trichomes.. Even a very few amber starting.. You can tell they aren't even full on amber cuz of how light they still are.. But i dis find a few beginning to amber.. So yeah.. Maybe 1 more week of nutes, then start flushing. End of week... Still waiting to see some trichomes turning lol.. Pistils are turning for sure.. Trichomes.. Not so much yet.. Seeing some light burn issues on a couple leaves.. But that's not stopping her one bit! She is still a very happy girl! Thickening up a little on top.. Bottom.. Not so much yet either lol.. Still happy with her.. On to the next!!!...

Hey guys, three days ago there was a bit of a storm and Madame unfortunately didn't hold out. hope the top is still supplied with nutrients and the few seeds will probably still be finished... today as almost the whole week again only rain.. towards Thursday some improvement and more sun.. Smell is super sweet and strawberry. really something different.. hope the turn is also good... which day today is not a plan but since it is now as good as over, not quite so bad... The end is near... Thanks for watching, the comments and likes everything motivated me very much and for the first time it was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the next one... But then again led and fat buds.. promised! It was also my first outdoor attempt in a long time, it's something completely different than indoorsπŸ˜…πŸ™ˆ
