Harvest time has come. It is difficult to kill a plant I have been raising so lovingly and with a lot of care as a wonderful living being that she is (and we all are as One). I even stayed up all night once to do a slow full 3x flush of the soil with emergency pH correction and buffering when I finally received the meters and looked at runoff values. It was almost like manually pumping a blood transfusion for a patient overnight. The idea to grow indoors came as a lightning and almost by a random chance. It was, of course, a synchronicity of a high order, because that flash coincided precisely with a rare moment where I had a small window of time to collect seeds of my choice in person and transport them safely and very quickly. And get extremely helpful advice from a moderately experienced grower, who helped me avoid self-taught rookie mistakes and pick an almost perfect setup for my purposes. Many steps I have learned only when it was time to take them, and since there's only so much I can do in a day, I got to some procedures like instrumentally checking salt buildup and substrate pH pretty late. I did monitor her leaves from the get-go, so leaving aside a light nute / photon burn of the tips, I think it went pretty well. Definitely better than I would have imagined! I wanted to do a small sitting meditation beside the plant before cutting her to dry. Wanted to thank the plant for this majestic experience and the healing power of gardening and caring for a plant on top of the medicinal values of cured buds and edibles we made along the way from trimmed fans. Those were unexpectedly strong and pleasantly smoooth. Wanted to tell her that I will miss her and remember her fondly, especially since she is my first full successful grow. The first time is always an unforgettable experience. Wanted to tell her that I do not want to kill her, and it was painful for me to FIM and shape her. A sitting meditation turned into a dynamic meditation when I started removing light gear and feeding system and cleaning the grow space in preparation for drying. Pretty quickly I noticed that I have a very real feeling of experiencing light- to medium-dose mushroom trip. I had vaped some 50/50 hybrid street bud half an hour earlier, but it was a very modest dose — shout out to TinyMight, you guys are amazing! — but no psychedelics. At that moment I felt that I don't need to say anything to the plant, because we are one and she had known my every feeling and intention from the start. And then I realized that what I had considered to be a sombre event, is just a transformation for the plant, it's next manifestation. Having lived as a plant, she will now transform into happy and healing experiences of those who will enjoy her flowers. This plant has supported me and helped me heal deep trauma and depression at least twice in my life over a period of a few months on each occasion. In between those healing periods it was just a get high and enjoy shit because why not kind of thing, and it didn't have any long lasting psychological effect at all, in stark contrast to classical psychedelics (LSD, shrooms, DMT etc). During those non-healing periods I didn't even have an urge to smoke all that often. I could easily not touch the stuff for a couple of months straight. My yearly consumption was in low single digit grams. Sometimes I felt that I did not enjoy the effect at all, it was slightly unpleasant even. Why would I want to blur my crisp perception to a gooey marshmallow state of cannabinoid high and scattered attention? But when it is time to do some inner work — and you cannot miss this feeling if you strive to tune into your inner state — god, is it a POWERFUL plant! I am very happy and humbled to be a conduit for this energy by caring for the plants and raising them. I respect this plant very deeply. --- Split her into thee parts by leaving only a few nodes creating the outer layer of colas on each level and effectively "topping" her a couple of levels above (or below, technically, now that she's upside down) and this creating a new drying layer/level. Tried wet trimming and I think I liked it. Will try to complete it in the next 1-2 days if I decide to go ahead with the idea. --- After drying for 7 days, I stabilized humidity at 60-62% for 4 hours and then chopped off buds (trimmed in batches during the first 3 days of drying), weighed and packed into glass jars for curing. Literally packed, because she yielded over 4 litres of dried trimmed bud (I think it was 4.5l) weighing 267g. WOW. I did not expect that on my first run I will be able to grow so much potent medicine. A lot of it is fluffy, but can be easily pressed denser, if storage or appearance are a concern. In fact, I had to press the buds slightly to make it all fit in two 2-litre jars. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way and thank you for your warm wishes! And thank you — the One reading this right now.

4/7 10:30PM All Photo's are looking great, using soft water so salts build up faster, have to water them in the bathtub for lots of runoff now 4/8 what are all the plants in tent 5 Montel is doing really good in the 1 gallon smells the strongest of all of them the two Mike Tyson plants the photos are doing great. The corkscrew auto that turned out not to be an auto that ended up revenging and now it’s flowering again it has a really nice strong main stock and it will probably produce a nice Maine cola. I got lucky with that one and bubbles blueberry is doing pretty good considering I didn’t grow her right I was incapacitated for a couple of months so she overgrow. I usually do four colors, but I kept her in veg for several months and I think I’m gonna take several of the trailer Park boys plants and possibly ice tea body count and revenge them 4/9 4:455AM "revenge them"😂 To maintain my overdramatic ways...and the phone didnt hear me right, any time I RE_VEG a plant its now REVENGING THE PLANT...... PERFECT....ON EARTH ...200 YEARS AGO I WAS A PRINCE WITH POWER OVER MIDGETS AND FANTASY ISLAND.... my scattered old memories... Star Trek Wrath of Khan / Fantasy Island grow is next!!!..OR if I have the money a CHiPs grow, a Knight Rider grow, 6 million dollar man grow...back when that was a lot of money to throw a way on some downed pilot...what waste of time..... LOOOK what I found Larry Wilcox from ChiPs https://larrywilcox.net/shop/ 4/97:22AM ICE T smoking right now. Smell so nice and sweet just great. Took the bottom branches, dried over night and just fine!!

Started her (Betty) 1/3/22 when I was drinking and pissed that one of my double grapes 🍇 seeds didn’t pop. I’m trying to start 2 new autos every month so I can get a cache of bud stored up. Betty shed her helmet on 1/7/22 and looks like a lil banana 🍌 she’s so cute

Apart from the spot on the leaf she’s growing fine I guess. Weather has been getting better during the day but still cold at night 7-10 d.celcius. I considered topping her but since this is technically part of my first grow I’m going to let her grow all natural. Any advice always welcome!

Las plantas están en plena floración , con un leve amarillamiento en la mayoría de las hojas , creo que es exeso de intensidad lumínica o el ultravioleta debe estar afectando , en fin , el crecimiento no se ha visto comprometido y las plantas están comenzando a emanar un olor fuerte dulce , muy dulce con toques de golosina de manzana a mi parecer, vigor increíble de la cepa desde la germinación hasta ahora.

📆 Week 5, 19-25 May 2024 19-25 May - Observed and let the plant grow. 📑 The plant is very compact with big, wide leaves, typical with Afghan varieties. The spacing between nodes is a good 1”. What I do is tuck the big leaf under the developing branches rather than cut them off early in this stage, to help the plant produce maximum energy. I also snip very low sucker shoots that do not have a chance to keep up with the plant, which is only a few. This keeps all the growth focused on the top of the plant for now. This will probably be her last week of what I consider veg, as she is starting to show more bud development. 🍶 19 May nutrient solution changed 🍽️ 19 May feeding schedule updated 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient solution EC 2.6 at 70 degrees F 🔆 Light power at 50%, DLI 28 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Welcome back✊ Outdoor season is finally showing the labours of love with buds a plenty. Can you feel the excitement? 🙌 Big time aromas in the garden this week are really quite something.👌 Everything from bananas and grapes to sweet & sour citrus and even dirty diaper. What? Yup that's right...My Blue Fire's smell like 💩 just like the clone mother and she's pure FIRE!!! I've grown this strain indoors but this is my first time growing it outside so I'm really looking forward to the outcome. 👍 Sept.14 the girls are putting on some serious weight. Colas are fattening up nicely but with that extra weight I’ve had to add more support and netting. 💪 Sept.15 last night temps got down to 8 celsius (46F) and today's high was 20 (68F). It's supposed to get even colder by the weekend followed by more average temps next week. Please God No Frost.🙏 Sept.16 Warmest day of the week at 25 celsius although very hazy probably due to the wildfires out west. Prayers for y'all out there. 🙏 The garden is looking amazing today with buds fattening up everywhere. Strawberry Banana #1 in front of the wall is furthest behind as far as bud development but is the tallest of the bunch at over 10 feet.👆 Bless that momma👏 Sept. 17 and just my luck Trainwreck #1 has a bit of bud rot on the 2 big main colas.😠 Damn I babied that girl and kept her dry her entire life. WTF Sucks having to harvest her early but shit happens so the 2 colas got chopped this morning and are hanging to dry. On the bright side, one of the colas wet weight was almost 11 ounces. Sept. 18 & 19 overnight temps got down to 4°C luckily no frost. Sept. 20 and most of the potted girls fan leaves are starting to yellow. Good sign that they are using up their last bit of nutrients from the leaves themselves. I’m guessing 1 or 2 more weeks and my first round of girls will be getting no more nutrients and starting their final flush. Trainwreck and Blue Fire are the furthest along while the wall girls are a couple weeks behind especially Strawberry Banana. That’s it for now Til next time... Be well and see ya soon

They are doing fine and are stinking nice. Smells like cookies rite now not sure if that’s gonna change! I didn’t take much off during the pruning process so whatever popcorn buds can be used in the press. Took clones and plant to use one as a Mom plant, wish me luck!
