So, that’s it. :-) Hemprietta is no longer among the living. After an 8-day drying phase at 45 to 53% humidity, she’s now chopped up and curing in two jars. The yield is pretty big. Due to local legal restrictions, I’m not keeping everything—I got rid of all the small stuff. What a luxury to have a selection… and how ridiculous not to be able to keep it all. :-) Oh well, it was still a joy… I kept the best buds. And damn—are they beautiful! Final thoughts: Main-lining works extremely well for a sativa in a small grow tent, even with the extra 2 to 3 weeks of training. It’s great for height control and gives the plant a solid structure, resulting in almost exclusively fat, dense main buds. I’d say the yield-to-effort ratio isn’t compromised at all. If I had kept all the solid buds (no popcorn buds), the dry weight would have been around 110 to 120 grams—which would be perfect for a two-person household. ;-) One thing I’ve learned: a 95-watt lamp might be slightly overkill for a 40x40 cm tent… Update after curing an tasting: After about three weeks in the jar, I finally had the chance to try Hemprietta. Yay! I’m really impressed with the effects—this is some seriously fine herb. I can’t decide whether it takes first or second place in my personal top 10. The high is pretty strong, which I don’t usually love as an occasional smoker, but since there’s no real couchlock, the intensity is totally fine for me. After a long, stressful day, just a few puffs completely wipe out any tiredness and make you want to be social again. A light euphoria and good mood set in. You feel focused and receptive—though whether you actually are focused is another question. At least while playing FIFA, there were no mediocre results: either a crushing 7-1 victory or a humiliating 1-7 defeat—nothing in between. Conversations are fun and quickly get silly to downright goofy. At higher doses, you get properly stoned and suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to inhale obscene amounts of potato chips and gummy bears. Great for the soul, not so great for the waistline. But hey, it works. It’s crazy how even then, you don’t feel stuck to the couch. Overall, a fantastic experience. I can fully recommend Laughing Buddha—it’s perfect for social occasions! ----- So das war's wohl. :-) Hemprietta weilt nicht mehr unter den Lebenden. Nach einer Trocknungsphase von 8 Tagen bei 45 bis 53 % Luftfeuchtigkeit ist sie jetzt zum Härten zerstückelt in zwei Gläser verteilt. Der Ertrag ist ziemlich groß. Auf Grund der hiesigen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen behalte ich also nicht alles - sondern habe den ganzen Kleinkram beseitigt. Was für ein Luxus eine Auswahl zu haben. Und wie bekloppt nicht alles behalten zu können. :-) egal, war dennoch eine Freude... Die schönsten Buds habe ich behalten. Und meine Fresse - die sind aber auch schön! Als Resümee: Main Lining funktioniert bei einer Sativa in einem kleinen Growzelt mit ca 2 bis 3 Wochen Mehraufwand extrem gut, um die Höhe zu kontrollieren und der Pflanze eine sinnvolle Struktur zu geben. So entstehen eigentlich nur fette / harte Main-Buds. Ich würde Mal behaupten, dass der Ertrag im Verhältnis Aufwand-Nutzen keineswegs geschmälert ist. Wenn ich alle ordentlichen Buds (keine Popcornbuds) aufgehoben hätte, wäre sicherlich ein Trockengewicht von ungefähr 110 bis 120 Gramm herausgekommen - was für einen Zweipersonenhaushalt perfekt wäre ;-) ich lerne daraus, dass eine 95 Watt Lampe für ein Zelt 40x40 offensichtlich etwas überdimensioniert sein könnte... Update nach Curing und Verkostung: Nach etwa drei Wochen im Glas habe ich die Gelegenheit gehabt Hemprietta zu verkosten. Jay! Ich bin sehr angetan von der Wirkung. Aus meiner Sicht ein richtig feines Gras. Ich bin unentschieden, ob es auf Platz 1 oder 2 meiner Top 10 landet. Die Wirkung ist ziemlich stark - eigentlich finde ich das als Gelegenheitskonsument nicht sooo geil, aber da kein wirklicher Couchlock eintritt ist die Stärke voll okay für mich. Nach einem langen stressigen Tag ist die Müdigkeit nach wenigen Zügen vertrieben und man bekommt (wieder) Lust auf sozialen Kontakt. Eine leichte Euphorie und gute Laune macht sich breit. Man fühlt sich ziemlich fokussiert und aufnahmefähig. Ist man auch wirklich fokussiert? Schwer zu sagen :-) zumindest beim FIFA zocken gab es keine mittelmäßigen Ergebnisse mehr. Entweder Sieg 7:1 oder Niederlage 1:7 - aber nichts dazwischen... Gespräche machen Spaß und sind schnell ziemlich lustig bis albern. Bei höherer Dosierung ist man schon ziemlich breit und hat Bock obszön viele Kartoffelchips und Gummibärchen in sich zu stopfen. Gut für die Seele, schlecht für die Figur. Passt also. Verrückt, dass man auch dann noch nicht das Gefühl bekommt an der Couch zu kleben. Also insgesamt ein großartiges Erlebnis. Ich kann Laughing Buddha voll und ganz empfehlen. Sehr gut geeignet für soziale Anlässe.

Вот и наступил волнительный момент для каждого гровера - время собирать урожай! 😋 Шишки равномерно созрели, и получились очень упругими. В процессе комната наполнилась сильным фруктово-цитрусовым запахом, надеюсь вкус будет таким же ярким. Оставляю урожай сушиться в темноте (≈10 дней), а мы с Вами увидимся в заключительном репортаже - будем пробовать и поводить итоги, оставайтесь на связи! Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Nachdem sie etwas spargelte ganz am Anfang, habe ich um den Stängel herum, etwas Erde angehäuft. Habe zwar immer wieder mit Wasser die Erde besprüht aber trotzdem waren die ersten 1-2cm der Erdanhäufung um den Stängel heute trocken. Darum habe ich 100ml um den Stängel verteilt gegossen. Die Blattspitzen hängen aber weiter und scheinen etwas verfärbt. PPFD 540 DLI 39 25.10. Dank den Hilfestellungen ein paar netter Grower, hatte ich nun wohl leicht hängende Blätter und eine Nekrose dem ersten Blätterpaar. Grund dafür war wohl, dass ich die Living Soil initial mit 3 Liter Wasser vorm einsetzen des Jiffys gegossen habe, um das Bodenleben zu "aktivieren". Als sie dann nach einigen Tagen spargelte, habe ich um den Stängel herum einen kleinen Erdhaufen geformt, der dann recht schnell austrocknete und diesen dann auch noch mal mit 100ml Wasser gegossen.

she likes the heat a lot, i added the co2 on the 21st day, i saw all the difference in the next hour, it's amazing how they can store so much light / elle aime beaucoup la chaleur , j'ai ajouté le co2 au 21eme jour , j'ai vu toute la différence dans l'heure qui suivait, c'est incroyable comment elles peuvent emmagasiner autant de lumière * I still have not turned on the HLG 300 /. je n'ai toujours pas allumer le HLG 300w

Hello growers day 22 in the garden with the gorilla glue auto iv started feeding her with some bio bizz 2ml cal-mag / 2 ml bio grow/ 2ml bio bloom iv also have her the first bend she didn’t seem to mined it she is growing abit slow but she is on my balcony in the uk just waiting for my other plants to finish then I will move her into the tent then she’ll get more light so until next week be safe and happy growing ✌️

Girl is a week old today. She is looking great. She popped out of the ground grow almost an inch and already had the first set of serrated leaves in the 1st 24 hrs above ground.

Really nice plant. Very strong smell, Well THC coated buds and very nice effects. Lovely.

1/4-1/11 week 6 1/4 2pm - canopy looking nicer and more even .. thinking to scrog soon

Week 2 of flower 12-5 She is growing nicely. She got a good dose of microbes yesterday. 2k ml she got cal/mag 5ml per gal, Drops 1ml, dusting of yucca, Kelp 1/16th tsp, EM 1 1 ounce per gallon and 1/2 tsp recharge. Top dress is soon. She will only get water x2 waterings. Cheesecake pictures tomorrow. I think I even may have, underwatered Cheese HAHAHAHA No way! Me ..... Underwater.... Thats a first! Now I have it marked. LOL 😬 J/s EM1 is kinda lol Icky. And the bottle almost exploded on me 😂 Good stuff. 12-7 Good ol plain water ph 6.2 Watered around 2.5 liters took it well. Roots are coming out the bottoms of both bags. 💪 Almost looks like worms 🤣 I must be doin ok, I haven't had them jump out before. 💪 And on both. Not the other 2 🤣 yet? The buds on 3x are tiny. They need top dressed, but i dont think thats it. May be a slow budder?? Idk, we shall see. But I do see signs of hunger. Top dress next water 💪 Removed all leafs pointing in. Or most at least. Very happy with progress. Still no signs of over water/feeding yet. 😁🤘 12-10 Top dress both 2 tbs buildaflower, 1 tbs craftblend, 1/4 cup poo. 12-11 Just growin tall.

March 1, 2024 Day 15 Lots to do today. I added nutrients, changed the watering schedule, increased the light intensity, adjusted the light power level and readjusted the height. I've also changed the environment slightly. Starting with watering and nutrients. As I said last week, I changed the watering schedule from 250 ml daily to 500 ml pHed to 6.0 every other day. It's the same amount of water, but a different application. It should help keep the soil moist from top to bottom slowly. 2 more of these 500 ml waterings should put the containers to runoff and then I stop and install the bottom feed systems. Moving on to nutrients. I've started them in their regimen for the veg stage. 2 ml/ gallon of each of the Advanced Nutrients 3 part base solution plus 2 ml/gal Advanced Nutrients Sensi Cal/Mag Xtra. That will be added every other watering. And the Recharge will be added at the start of every week. Next is the lighting changes. Increased light power from 30% to 40% Light height is now 28" DLI: 22.7 mol/m²/d PAR: 350 ppfd This in turn brings me to the last change of the environment. The temp will stay roughly the same between 76° and 77° for the whole of the veg stage with the RH hovering between 60% and 62%. I'm also going to try to increase the night temp to 70° and turn off the humidifier to keep the RH at 60% during lights out. That's all for today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.3° RH: 60.3% VPD: 1.09 kPa March 2, 2024 Today I'm having a debate with myself. The containers aren't heavy enough for the plants ages. So I'm thinking maybe 250 ml one day and 500 ml the next. And so on until the containers are moist enough. So 250 ml today at some point. And because they are starting to show signs of nitrogen deficiency now, I think I'll have to keep the nutrients in for the rest of the week. Next week, when the pots are full, I'll then switch to feed every other watering. Lighting is looking spot on. They are reaching slightly and look perfect. Next week, I think I'll increase the light power up to 60%. There should be plenty of foliage to capture all the light. I'll also be starting training by the end of this week and into next week. Whenever they get tall enough to touch the side of the containers, is when I'll start training. I have air circulation, but not blowing directly on the plants yet. Hopefully that keeps the stalk malleable so I can comfortably be d them down as needed. I may also top them. I have discovered that a topped plant for me means a huge harvest. Every plant I have ever accidentally topped or mangled has provided wonderful yields. I had a Zkittlez that gave me 6.5 oz, a 6 oz Skywalker and the best so far, a Gorilla Cookies that yielded 21.5 oz! That being said, I feel like it's in my best interest to top them and go from there. However, I won't be topping right away. I find that the breaks happen during training when there's a good amount of branches. It's accidental, but still works wonders. We shall see how things go over the next 2 weeks. That should be it for veg, 2 more weeks. Finally, the nutrient regimen. Because the plants are suffering a small amount of nitrogen deficiency, I may increase the dose to 3 ml/gal instead of the 2 ml/gal. I'm also thinking about doubling the dose of Cal/Mag. The deficiency isn't bad, but I'm not 💯 certain what the deficiency is. Nitrogen or Cal/Mag. One of the three or maybe an iron issue. That should be fixed with the nutrients. Update: I decided to water in 250 ml after all. I didn't water at the base though. I feel that is crucial in not overwatering the young plants. When I water the 500 ml tomorrow, I'll water the base. It seems to be working. Also, I am wondering if I should do a foliar spray with the nutrients just to help speed up the nitrogen intake. I'll have to research if I should or not. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 60.9% VPD: 1.10 kPa March 3, 2024 Both plants are now showing signs of nitrogen deficiency. I'm not surprised, but still, I need to fix it. So I increased the dose from 2 ml to 3 ml for the whole regimen except for the Recharge. That stayed the same. They got their 500 ml watering today as scheduled. The bases were also watered. Hopefully with the nitrogen coming in, they don't stunt. The soil moisture is about half way down the container. today's watering may bring it down to 75% of the container. I'll have to check later on after the soil has time to absorb. Technically it should drop in a few hours from the 43% it is now to about 35%. That's how I know the lower soil has absorbed the water. Tomorrow I'll do another 250 ml without watering at the base. This seems to be working quite well. I think I'll be good by the end of the week for watering. The basins will be installed next week I think. The plants should be big enough for the bottom feed system by then. Other than the nitrogen deficiency, they are beautiful and growing very nicely. I did notice that A is a tiny bit smaller than B and the leaves are a slightly different shape. Different phenome maybe? I'll find out. I had to raise the light up an inch as well. I'm trying to keep the DLI at 22.7 mol/m²/d for the next day or two. I will most likely increase the power to 50% tomorrow and mess with the distance. That way, when I transition to 60% next week and increase the DLI, it should go smoothly. The environment is spot on and has been for a couple of days now. Let's hope for less wonky weather for the next few weeks. The temp is hovering around 77° during the day and 70° during lights out. The RH is staying strong at 61% day and night. Very happy with that. I did increase it to 62% yesterday to keep the temp in check. Worked like a charm. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 62.1% VPD: 1.11 kPa March 4, 2024 I have found my differences between the the plants. BPP A is slower to grow and has thinner leaves. I feel like this may be a sativa leaning phenome. It makes sense. Sativa's take longer and they have thinner leaves. But because this strain is a hybrid, the leaves aren't as thin. She only has one set of leaves and the first node hasn't opened up yet. Could be stunted or as I'm thinking, but it's still slower. Either way, I'm going to keep an eye on this one. If it's a stunt or a dwarf, I'm not keeping it. I'll toss it and make room for the other plants in the tent. BPP B is further along with fatter leaves and already on its second node. I can already see the branches popping out. So things are moving along nicely. However, I feel like she isn't growing as fast as she can and that's definitely my fault for not adding nitrogen a bit earlier than I did. She still has beautiful green leaves. And looks super healthy. Beautiful stalk. Nice and thick. They got their 250 ml watering today without watering the base. I guess I could just say that the 250 ml never gets watered on the base. Anyway, they still need more water. If the 500 ml doesn't do it tomorrow, I'll do another 500 ml the next day. And the day after as well. I really want a bit of runoff before I install the basins. Both plants are slightly leaning in toward the center of the light. That tells me I need to either rotate or raise the light and increase the power. But I think I'll have to increase the footprint so the outside of the plants get the light they need. Also, when the basins gets installed, the plants will spread out to their own quadrant. Frankly, I'd really like the bar style light from AC Infinity. The board style is too concentrated in the center. Anyway, I'll hold off on the installation for next week. I may rotate later today to get the plants to stand straight up. I may increase the Grow base for tomorrow's watering. I'd like to get more nitrogen in the plants earlier rather than later. Plus I'm pretty sure I won't be able to poison them with any toxicities. They are definitely low on everything. It should fix soon, but I need growth now. So I may do the additional grow base afterall. One thing I would happily like to mention is the environment. This is the first grow I've ever done that has had a super level environment. Very little variation from day and a from night. RH stays basically the same from day to night at around 61% and 62%. The day and night temps are also spot on. Day time temp is around 77° and 78° with night temp being around 69° and 70°. It's perfect. I increased the light intensity to 450 ppfd today. I increased the light power up to 50% and moved the light up a bit to compensate. As mentioned before, this should help fix the lean the plants have. I may also turn my supplemental lighting on and bring it to the top of the canopy. I might be able to decrease the power level on the main light and save some money on the electric bill. DLI: 27.2 mol/m²/d PAR: 420 ppfd (completely on purpose 🤣) Power: 50% That's all for now. A bit to do today Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.0° RH: 61.7% VPD: 1.15 kPa March 5, 2024 Both plants are looking really nice. However, I'm still a bit concerned with Banana PP A. She's still not opening her second set of leaves. On the other hand, Banana PP B is looking great. They are both getting close to the edge of their containers. Right on que. In 2 days, they should be big enough to install the basins. Hopefully the roots will be close to the bottom where the wicks can work their magic. I watered in 500 ml today. I decided that I needed to increase the nutrients as we are coming to the end of week 2. So now I have all nutrients at 4 ml/gal except the Recharge of course. I may increase that for next week. I'm not sure that I've caught up to the nitrogen issue. I had to move the light up a half inch today. Not much, but I'm keeping the PAR at 420 ppfd until next week. The environment is spot on for the week so far. 78° and 60.5% humidity for the day so far. As for last night, temp at 70.7° and 62.5% humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 61.9% VPD: 1.14 kPa March 6, 2024 Good day today. Saw some major movements today. Lots of growth overnight and beautiful looking plants. They each got 450 ml of water today. I watered at the base anyway as I need the soil to be moist ASAP. I didn't mess with the lighting today. I'll check tomorrow to see if it needs to be lifted. As always, the environment looks great. Nearly spot on. Today is a bit warmer out and the temp is around 78° in the tent. Nothing I can't fix in a snap. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.9° RH: 61.7% VPD: 1.15 kPa March 21, 2024 Both ladies got their watering today. I increased the base grow nutrient to 8 ml for this watering. I also spaced out the waterings. I did 250 ml then waited an hour and added the other 250 ml. I also increased the Recharge to half a teaspoon from a quarter a teaspoon. Lighting is still fine. I'll be increasing the power and intensity tomorrow. So each plant is showing slight signs of nitrogen deficiency. It didn't get too far along, but still has a slight deficiency. The colors are nice and green still. I'd also like to note that Banana PPA is still a little bit behind. Not much, but still a bit. She's still the same height as the other one, so that's good. Environment is looks great as usual. No issues and definitely staying in my range. Tomorrow I'll be dropping the RH down to 58% but keeping the temp around 77° for the week. I'd also like to note that both plants have been rotating all on their own. It's intriguing how they are doing that. I'll have to start rotating in a couple weeks when they get bigger. Unless I have to run a net, then no rotation obviously. Still super interesting. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 61.5% VPD: 1.13 kPa

Beginning of week 5 The Plants finished stretching & started producing flowers. I did some more defoliation at the bottom of the plants. The Co2 in the tent is getting a little bit better, but in my opinion still way to less. But overall, the plants are very healthy. These ladies are drinking about 2.5 liters of nutrient solution every day, they thirsty as fuck.

Second week of flower, time to stretch! Im very happy with the outcome so far, it is without worry that some tops are in shadow. Enough tops to go around, have to wait until after stretch to lollipop! The lady all the way in the back, to the left, has either stunned growth or just slower than the other to go into stretch. However i will just play the waiting game, as i see no symptoms for a problem atm. Last watering was 15/10 👽👉17/10 VPD is set to 1.2, but because of the function of my dehumidifier, it range from 1.1-1.3. 👽👉18/10 Waterday* They are real thirsty First signs of pistils have shown! I upped my nutes from EC1.36 to EC1.66 BioHeaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1ml/L > 1.5 BioBloom 0.5ml/L >1.5 TopMax 0.5ml/L> 1 Calmag 0.3ml/L > 0.4 👽👉19/10 The ladies love it! Stretching and praying hands! 👽👉20/10 Impressed with the stretching. Not much to report, they just feeling the vibe. 👽👉21/10 Changed the lamp hanging system, to gain some more distance from light to canopy. 👽👉22/10 Thirsty ladies, but since i did not have time to water, i gave them 200ml each to survive another 24hours without feed. 👽👉23/10 Waterday* I upped my nutes from EC1.66 to EC1.77 added 1ML/L Rootjuice to this feed Bioheaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1.5 ML/L > 2 BioBloom 1.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

Moved to final 20l pot on day 8, great growth sonce then. No nutrients just phd water.

🙃

Grew very well not a single problem

December 2nd: Week 6 has started, hopefully last week of veg, defoliating, started feeding Sweet Candy, reducing humidity... more to come Tuesday night and it's end of week 6 or day 42, they are doing well, about 16 inches tall and bushy but I feel like another week of veg wouldn't hurt, hoping to get them all around 18 inches tall before I flip Comments and likes appreciated, stay high

More to come!... don't even ask how I keep this tent in the 70s in the garage when it is already getting to 96 degrees outside..... short answer... "oh, this works, well it did work, maybe if I do this, that seems to help, well shit, that didn't work, uh oh, its getting hot, I got it!... and done. - temps start to climb into the 90s - " oh shit, oh shit!, Its not working anymore, I guess 90 degrees inside the tent is better than being in the 100s.... think, think, think, 😲 I got it!... annnd done👌! Its working. The temp at the time of writing this is... 73 degrees (last night it is was in the upper 80s lower 90s). So yeah, my wife is upset at the time I've been spending on it..... if only she would have let me do this inside the house like I wanted to. Meh, whatareya gonna do? 😕 There is something living in my attic... I hear it now.😒....

She looks very good and healthy,however she started flower with a very small size,I thought she was gonna be a little bigger at least but regardless of that,she's such a beauty and smelling very good so far,I'm excited about this strain. Let's see how she performs guys!

More to come once I think this over, and finish up the dry and cure 🌱💨
