Week 8 is now complete and I could not be more satisfied with the progress. Everything is running perfectly according to plan. As suspected, the stretch finally ended last week and the Wedding Cheesecake has reached its final height. This makes handling inside the tent much more relaxed after a generous defoliation. Since the plant has stopped its vertical expansion, I have increased the LED lighting to 100%. At a constant distance of 20 cm from the canopy, we are now hitting a solid 750 PPFD. The plant is handling the full intensity excellently so far. I watered several times this week, and water consumption remains stable at over one liter per day even after the defoliation. Now that the stretch is over and the plant structure is established, there is very little to do except be patient and enjoy the show. The most exciting weeks of the flowering phase are ahead of us, and I am looking forward to seeing the buds gain mass and resin. In the next few days, the plant will also receive a bloom booster (Green Sensation) for the first time, and the EC value will be pushed above 2.0.

Harvest went well. Chopped them down. Hanging now with a gentle fan. Chopped a few lower branches to dry and smoke while waiting. Havent weighed anything yet. Will add weights to this week soon. A total of 14.3 oz.

Origen: Afganistán Tipo: Indica / Sativa Floración: 63 Días THC: 29% Cosecha: 400 g / m2 Altura: 150-205 cm Clasificación:####  Divine Seeds desarrolló Opium como una nueva cepa campeona. Las variedades autóctonas más potentes y resinosas de Afghani Indica se crearon junto con una poderosa sativa brasileña, de la que Opium hereda su brillante sabor a bayas. El genotipo de Opium es un gran trabajo: los criadores estaban decididos a obtener el nivel más alto de THC, hacer que Opium fuera lo suficientemente fuerte para cualquier condición de cultivo y superar los límites de la productividad. Sus creadores describen Opium como la hierba con la que siempre soñaron cultivar. En el interior, estas plantas se mantienen en su mayoría de altura media (1,5 m), alcanzando hasta 2,0 m en el exterior. Dependiendo de sus limitaciones de altura, Opium se puede cultivar universalmente en cajas de cultivo, balcones, invernaderos y terrazas. Debido a su ascendencia afgana, Opium puede soportar el clima cálido si se le proporciona suficiente agua y algo de sombra. Responde bien a cualquier técnica de entrenamiento: ScroG y SoG, LST, topping y FIM, supercropping. El inicio de la floración se marca con una oleada de crecimiento, cuando las plantas se estiran casi 1,5 veces. El opio desprende un penetrante hedor terroso con matices afrutados. Listo para cosechar en exterior en octubre. El impacto psicodélico de lapidación con el que te golpea Opium es como estar hipnotizado. Lo suficientemente fuerte para matar los dolores, Opium también es médicamente eficaz contra el insomnio, las náuseas, los trastornos del apetito, los espasmos musculares, los dolores de cabeza, la irritación, la fatiga, los ataques de pánico y la epilepsia. El uso recreativo de Opium significa viajar silenciosamente de una visión a otra. Se consume mejor por la noche.

D43. First day of seventh week, I finally took out all the blumat water lines to be able to level the canopies to better perform the next four weeks. The whole tent is full of little colas, especially the lazy seed that have the most tiny ones due to the slow growth plus that she was quite in the bottom until today but now she's finally receiving same light as her sisters 💪. Today I watered again after three days, soil tension went from 40 to over 200 before watering that probably mean from now on will be better to stick on watering every two days instead of three. Things are getting smelly and promising, this week I'll do another insecticide foliar spray and watering and hope for the best. Peace ☮️ D46. That's a lot of wild stuff going on in here and my little girls look happier than ever, all the fans around every cola turned deep purple and full of white all around and they smell so good. I just watered 10% of the pot capacity with neem oil, calmag, higrozyme and nutrients until EC 1.9 pH 6.1 so water tension came down from over 200 to over 40mbar, also foliar sprayed again with potassic soap, neem and phyretrine since some thrip are still messing around. Good news the lazy plant despite the little colas once started receiving same light as her sisters she strengthen production and color of the leaf, not so bad!

Great start for week 8, did some defoliation and removed some low leaves, did not feed Floragro since I don't want them to grow more ( No space ) after stoped feeding them Flora grow, they focused on blooming. Interesting week so far.

This diary should have been updated a long time ago but the lack of time and mine reluctance to actually go back to the time of harvest, I did delete most of photographs of the harvest in rage as it was not a nice memory for me, here is why. So the last update i made to the diary was on 19 September and already then i knew something was brewing because we had a week long rain spell and it did not look like it was about to stop at that and the weather forecast showed a month more of rain. Without that rain and high RH i would probably give them girls one more week under the SE 7000 :/ The weather forecast was unfortunately right, so all in all we had around six week of relentless rain...outside it was from 90 to 95% RH in my house it was mostly 85%RH and in my grow room which is located in a basement i had from 60 to 63%RH with lights and dehumidifier on and around 70% with lights off. And that was a killer for my tightly packt grow room. What i did was to open all the walls from the grow room at dark time and had two big external fans blowing air at my plants but it did not help much... My first observation of bud rot was on 24 of September while making photographs of the beautiful buds. That week i lost to bud rot 4 bud stems, after the chop while drying i found another 5 infected stems, and by final trim just before jaring them i removed one more. So all together i lost to bud rot 10 bud stems, four of them were really big ones. I had made some pictures of the buds with bud rot and of the buds hangin in drying room but they did not survive my dark mood :( Sot thats the reason i got only few photographs to show for it. The final weighing was actually not as bad and lightened my mood a bit, that and that that i did not found any more mold on my cured Killer Kush :) So the dry weight after curing was 720 gram of dry bud I still till today did not make # from all the trimmings...but the trimmings are properly dried and waiting for bubble bugs in my freezer. After this learning experience i decided to add at least one more 30W air mixing internal fan, and i did get to know one of my relatives possess a 300W dehumidifier so next time i will be better prepared. Maintenance wise i will try to defoliate and lollipop my plants more aggressively to let in more air penetration.

These pretty ladies are starting their fade. The smells coming from them is like sweet berries and cream 🤤🤤🤤. Frosted up nicely and purples came through. I must say I'm pretty proud of this cross I made and can't wait to smoke it!!! Lol

From now on I will count the weeks as bloom.The plant keeps growing. I'm excited to see what happens. We're currently down to 390W, not 200W. I'm currently using the Voodoo Juice Plus tablets from Advanced Nutrients. I have the 0.1g version and have now given her half a tablet for flowering. Be curious what awaits us

Last couple of weeks she's been affected by high tent temps, hence all her curled leaves 😓 She is also a big plant in her little 10L fabric pot. I've noticed fabric pots really do dry out faster than airpots. That is a good thing, but you have to watch her drying out too quickly also! I think she'd make a monster plant in a 20L or 40L airpot.😍

Day 44 Flower 🌿🔥 Plants are doing great and are fully in the bulking phase. Buds are getting denser and you can see progress every day. Trichome production is increasing and the smell is getting stronger. After switching from Big Bud to Overdrive and adding Hammerhead, the plants responded very well. Only slight tip burn is visible. No major changes, just maintaining stable conditions and letting the plants do their thing. Each plant is showing a slightly different phenotype, which is interesting to observe: * The plant on the left has more elongated, slimmer buds and was the only one that dropped a few lower leaves after pulling nutrients from them. * The middle plant is currently my favorite – it has a nice compact structure and was the first to show some purple tones. It also showed slight “taco” leaves for a short time, likely caused by higher VPD (combination of strong light, higher temperature, and lower humidity?). After slightly raising the light and improving humidity, the issue stabilized. * The plant on the right seems more leafy, but still developing well and should produce nice buds too. Environment: * 25–27 °C day / ~20 °C night * 45–55 % RH Feeding: * Connoisseur Bloom A+B * Overdrive * Hammerhead (1 ml/L) * Bud Candy * CalMag So far very satisfied, now it’s just about keeping conditions stable until the finish. Let it grow 🌱 _ 44. den květu 🌿🔥 Rostliny se mají skvěle a jsou plně ve fázi nabírání objemu. Květy se pěkně zahušťují a každý den je vidět progres. Trichomy přibývají a vůně sílí. Po přechodu z Big Bud na Overdrive a přidání Hammerhead reagovaly rostliny velmi dobře. Jsou jen lehce chycené špičky listů. Žádné velké změny, jen udržuji stabilní podmínky a nechávám rostliny jet. Každá rostlina se projevuje trochu jiným fenotypem, což je zajímavé sledovat: * Rostlina vlevo má spíše delší a hubenější palice a jako jediná odhodila pár spodních listů, ze kterých si vzala živiny. * Prostřední rostlina je zatím můj favorit má hezký kompaktní tvar a jako první začala chytat fialové odstíny. Krátce se u ní objevily i „taco“ listy, pravděpodobně kvůli vyššímu VPD (kombinace silného světla, vyšší teploty a nižší vlhkosti?) Po lehkém zvednutí světla a úpravě vlhkosti se stav zlepšil. * Rostlina vpravo působí víc listnatě, ale prospívá dobře a také vypadá bude že mít pěkné květy. Prostředí: * 25–27 °C den / ~20 °C noc * 45–55 % RH Hnojení: * Connoisseur Bloom A+B * Overdrive * Hammerhead (1 ml/L) * Bud Candy * CalMag Zatím spokojenost, teď už jen udržet podmínky až do finiše. Ať to roste🍀

5/11 I DID NOT WATER. A COUPLE LOOKED DRY BUT STILL HAD HEFT AND I COULD FEEL MOUSTURE IN THE SOIL. I should've taken more pictures. I forgot it's a new week. Oh well. I'll be back over and I'm planning to bring the girls outside for the first time if it warms up a little more. It's windy as fuck but I can put them in the garage with the doors open. As long as that's not the direction of the wind. I raised the L.E.D light and lowered the hps. I also TRIED to FIM a 10th planet and an mk ultra. I may have just topped them. We'll see how it turns out before I do anything to the others. Pink kush grows slow and compact. Very similar to my experience with purple punch. I have two plants that have slightly twisted leaves. Nothing else is wrong with anything. Looking at the stippling on the leaf I think it might just be either low humidity or slight wind burn or a combination of the two. Now that I've looked again I think it might just be the first 5 finger leaf on those pink kush that I mat have mistaken. I'll keep an eye out. I feel better having done some research. I'll put some more pictures up and I'll update what it is that I get done. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AROUND THREE. EVERUTHING LOOKED GREAT AND THE LEAVES WETE PRAYING ON SOME. I MAY NEED TO WATER SELECT PLANTS TOMORROW. I'LL PLAY IT BY EAR. LOWER THE HPS AND RAISING THE LED WAS A WISE CHOICE I THINK. OH AND THE "TWISTED" LEAF I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IS NOTHING. JUST THE FAN TO CLOSE AND A FOMBINATION OF LOW HUMIDITY AND MINOR HEAT STRESS. ITS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I WANTED TO BRING THE GIRLS OUT TODAY. ITS SUNNY AND 60° BUT THE WIND IS WHIPPING! WE'VE GOT GOOD WEATHER COMING UP THOUGH WITH TEMPS IN THE 70'S. I THINK TOMORROW ILL CLEAN/SANITIZE THE CAGE AND WASH/SANITIZE THE GROW BAGS. 5/12 Looking and lifting some of the pots I found some that were pretty much totally dry. I watered the majority of all the plants. If soil was moist I left it alone. If it looked a little dry I gave it a little water. I didn't measure the water but it wasnt even ALL of what I had left from LAST WATERING (which was like a qtr gallon If that). I just don't want to over water. The ones that I went light on last time were the ones that were dry. Plants seem to explode after watering but this wasn't nearly as much. Everything is looking great. It's easy to tell these are all indicas due to the structure and leaf shape. Much different than even the Chem Dog #4 which doesn't LOOK as "indicay" as some of the others. I wanted to bring them outside today but it's only 50 out. I'm not going to make the same mistake as years past and stress the plants. When we get a nice warm day I'll bring them out. Other plants are ready to be topped or fimmed but I haven't done it yet. Also need to clean the cage and wash the bags. 5/13 It's 60° at 9am so I think the girls will be going outside for a little bit. Didn't fully water but I used what was left of the gallon and gave them that. Some are much drier than others. I'll probably give them a full watering tomm. I only gave them a little today because I didn't want them drying out. I FIMMed a Special Kush today. WE'LL see how the hst turns out. EDIT: WENT AND BROUGHT THE GIRLS OUT FOR FOUR HOURS IN INDIRECT SUNLIGHT. THE TENTH PLANETS WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD AN ISSUE. JUST MINOR HEAT OR LIGHT ISSUES WITH A COUPLE FAN LEAVES. EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMED LIKE THEY SHOT UP IN SIZE. THE LARGER CONTAINERS STILL SEEM KINDA MOIST BUT SOME ARE DRY. I NEED TO GET ON A STABLE WATER SCHEDULE. ITS HARD WITH DUFFERENT PLANTS OF VARYING SIZES. STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. 5/14 One plant was super light today and was a little droopy. I WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY USING APPROX A HALF GALLON. I brought them outside for the second day. I left them out for about 3hrs. It's hot today. I'm still floored that chatgtp gave me exact directions for hardening my plants off at my exact location taking the weather into consideration! That is awesome. They're all doing good. Pink kush is the slow starter this year. Kind of like purple punch was. The only plants that had ANY damage on them was the two 10th planet's and its not really damage. It's just a LITTLE mottling on the leaf and the serrations pointing down. It's weird because this strain did great here last time. The Special Kush #1 and the Pink Kush would probably be fine to leave out soon. Hindu Kush parents make those strains extremely resilient. The one chem dog #4 looks out of place with all tjis big fat indica leaves. I'm hoping the topping and fim-ing will take. It looks like it will. 5/15 Everything is looking great! I have some work to do bit then I'll be over to bring the girls out for a few hours. I'll edit this when I do. EDIT: BROUGHT THE GIRLS OUT FOR THREE HOURS TODAY. I THOUGHT THE TENP WENT DOWN TO 73 BUT TUAT WAS INDOORS. OH WELL. THEY STILL DID GREAT! THEY WERE ALL LOOKING OUT OF THE LEAN-TO LIKE SUNFLOWERS! THE STRAIGHTEN OUT AFTER BEING UNDER THE GROW LIGHTS. I'M PLANNING TO CONTINUE TO HARDEN THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. STILL NEED TO CLEAN BAGS AND GROW AREA. I HAVE 'A' CAMERA DOWN. TRIED TO FIX IT TODAY BUT I WOULD GET RO THE LAST PART BUT THE CAMERA WOULDNT READ THE QR CODE ON MY PHONE. I EMAILED THE COMPANY BUT IF I DONT HEAR BACK BY TOMORROW AND I CANT FIX IT ILL JUST BUY ANOTHER CAMERA TO ADD TO THE SYSTEM. ITS THE OLDEST CAMERA I HAVE AND ITS DONE ME 5 GOOD YEARS. MAYBE ITS TIME TO RETIRE IT. 5/16 I watered a few of the girls this morning with a small ring around the pot. I brought them outside and am leaving them for 3.5 hours today in the lean-to. They get indirect light without all the wind this way. I'll slowly increase the hours outside until there is enough daylight for them to go outside without revegging. When I put them out I noticed that a few were light and since it was close to 80° I watered most everything. I used under a half gallon. I'll see how they do from here and then move forward. I fixed my down security camera and secured my cage. Now I just need to finish hardening off, clean/sanitize bags/environment and put them in tjeir final homes. I'm not rushing it though. I've learned my lesson with that. 5/17 Plants did great yesterday and were perky and praying this morning. It was HOT yesterday too. Got into the low 80's. It's 57° degrees at 9am and it's overcast and sprinkling. I haven't decided if I'm going to bring the girls out today. It might be a good day to try some direct sunlight. I'll update whatever I decide to do.

Aquí las fotos de esta nueva semana de vegetación para ambas plantas, cumpliendo así la white widow 23 dias de plantada y la zinfandel 16. La fotos corresponden al 21, 24 y 27 de abril. Por ahora no hay nada más que agregar. Ya que esta semana solo agregué algo de sustrato en ambas y el riego fue de agua reposada con una bomba dando oxígeno por 24hr y un ph de 6,1 a 6,5. Lo que no sé es si realizar alguna tipo de poda más adelante o si mejor las dejo crecer como son, ya que no sé mucho. Existe el temor de dañarlas o estresarlas demasiado. Lo pensaré, también recibo cualquier consejo u observación con ellas!

Harvest was rushed due to unforeseen events. No matter though. Gave her a very rough wet trim and hung each branch from my scrog net. Drying process was also rushed and my A/C failed just before the finish line so they are a bit dry and not AS flavourful as it could have been. They have been curing for 2 weeks - 3days. Still better than anything I can buy within a 300km radius and overall one of the best bowls I've smoked in years. Important Lessons: - Accurately monitor PH/TDS/EC. - Smaller pot size (?) - Feed way less nutrients (especially for autoflowers) - More reliable and cost-effective way of adjusting Temp/RH

Grow going very well no sights of stress my girls are doing perfect 400 ml water each day 0.25 nutrients per plant per watering 600 hps was running for 16 hours but i had to lower the working hours to 15

Beginning of week 4 so far so good. The girls are reacting well to there training. Vita race from plagron is a game changer. They are super green and healthy everytime I feed them you see the difference.Did some defoliation. Nothing major just removed any leaf overlapping or blocking light to lower parts of the plant.

I had to top a few of these because they were hanging so far out, making lots of new space for bud sites I really like to bush/stretch out my plants making as many colas for flowers. Im seeing small pistils popping out here and there.
