Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a good week. Thank you so much for your support on this bananas journey 💜💚💜💚 I am so happy to see how girls are developing in recent days. It's seems that Athena finally stopped her stretch and hoping that Xena will follow her sister very soon. Buds are gaining weight and size rapidly. Lots of nice colours and tonnes of trichomes on those buds already. Week 10 Dec 18-24 Dec 18-19 Mainly observation. Xena is still stretching like crazy. both girls are developing beautifully. Dec 20 First watering for this week. 7.5 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH's Athena 6.2 Xena 6.3. Dec 21 Due to lack of light at lower parts of conopy decided for another selective defoliation, lowered a bit tallest branches with colas dangerously close to light by tieing them to netting. Couple cm will make a huge difference here. Could not clear well at the back wall of the cabinet due to limited access.I'm very happy with final result. Dec 22-23 Joyful observation of my 🍌💜👊girls development 🧑‍🌾 Dec 24 All is looking great. It's seems that stretch is finally stopped. Girls looking healthy and happy. Second watering for this week. 8 ltr beetwen both. Both runoffs PH 6.2. It's the end of this week. Happy Xmas everyone 🤶🎄❄️🎁☃️✌️💚🌲🎅🎄 Stay tuned for new week update ✨🍀✨✌️💚

this week I wanted to add a wire mesh between the pot and the saucer, to make the roots breathe more and not to sediment the nutrients on the bottom. I increased the ventilation because in flowering it needs less humidity and decreased the nutrients after noticing a yellowing in the tips of the leaves. we are almost there 😍😍

Hi guys Welcome 🙂 After more than month postharvest , I have tested this Blue Gelato #41 🍦🌱 In the end was passed 78° days in flowering for the right maturation I can only say.. Awesome 🤩 About taste , perfume and effect Also the grow inself was fun and not to hard In the beginnig my plan was to growing her in a natural way But in the end I have decide to topping her and create a multiple primary colas And she was react very well: 1:🌳 Flowers are very dense , also after the dry and cure process The aroma of smoke after my first pitch from a joint, obviously weed-only, reminded me a lot of Amsterdam The bluberry taste is the first thing you feel, and it's clear and clean Afterwards there are notes of earth and something similar to citrus on a sweet base The effect is enough for the day because it keeps you motivated and creative too But if you sit on the sofa and close your eyes, you can clearly feel a tingling on the forehead halfway between one eye and the other 🧠👁️ And the imagination is facilitated, expanding the creative process For this reason it could be vaguely psychedelic I personally love it I want to spend two words about post-harvest artistic process😉 Personally I have spent more time figuring out the best way to have the tastiest, smoothest, cleanest and most perfect burning weed. First I just want to say one thing... ..WEED SHOULD NOT SMELL DURING THE DRY PROCESS.. If this happens, it means that the temperature and humidity are too high and probably the fans are aimed directly at the inflorescences The scent that is felt are all terpenes that are dispersing in the air and which consequently will be less intense during final consumption The less trichomes remain in contact with air, the better If too exposed to air and light, these oxidize, thus removing much of the final experience Personally, what interests me most is the taste, because it already creates the effect in itself A bit like when you sit down to eat I prefer a well-cared for dish with quality ingredients that leave me a great memory after consuming it, rather than a dish that only fills my stomach Mc Donald weed vs Five star restaurant . Sorry Mc lovers 🍔🍟🙌 Said this.. My method is that the cannabis is dried whole plant for a maximum of five days at constant and balanced temperature and humidity, the important thing is to maintain a narrow range between te ur, 20 ° or 24 ° C little changes, even if humidity remains between 55 and 60% is fine The increase in temperature must also correspond to an increase in humidity And so also in case of a decrease In any case In the first few days it must lose most of its water 💧 When the branches are about to break, but still not cracking, I cut the branches one by one and perform a professional manicure Afterwards, always with the flowers still attached to the branches, I put everything inside a classic brown bread bag (not white because it is colored and not the best) For about two days I leave the buds inside, opening the bag several times a day to circulate air and to move the branches with the flowers After a couple of days, the inflorescences usually have reached a good level of drying and are dense to the touch, but by pressing, you still have to be able to crush between the fingers Explaining in words how hard they can be pressed to find out if the ur level is optimal is difficult to say It is must necessary to try and make mistakes many times And never be satisfied You can always do better 😎: 1:💪 So, now we are about ten days after the cut of the plant and, at this point, the flowers can be placed in an airtight container BASIC The flowers are put in the vase "a moment before" that the branches break cleanly, this is important An optimal method to understand when the right time is is to see if the popcorn buds are easily detached from the branch, without dragging with them the "thread" of the bark Once placed in the pot, normally I leave it closed for 24h in order to let the moisture come out from the central area of ​​the flower and distribute it evenly After this first day, I start to open and close the pot several times a day, but always for a few seconds At each opening I always move the flowers to allow a correct exposure to the little air present in the vase The jars would be better not to fill them completely, but just a 3/4 or a little more The important thing is that the flowers can move easily enough This process generally lasts about four weeks, and every seven days I decrease the number of daily openings Usually, after the first week, the scents that will be created begin to be felt And this makes us realize that we are on the right track 🛣️🚀 After four weeks, if everything has been done in a workmanlike manner, the perfume will be pungent and intoxicating and the flowers will be dense and oily to the touch When the humidity level appears optimal, I insert a bag from the Boveda series to keep the ur around 62% In all cases, I personally start using my flowers constantly two months after cutting 📆 I noticed that in general, Haze-type Sativas are tasty even after only a month For the Kush the optimal terpene profile I appreciate it in the neglect only after a couple of months In this way the flowers will be extremely fragrant, crunchy and smooth in flavor once consumed and always create a clear oil all around the rolling papers As you can appreciate in the videos what place, and that I hope to be able to post for much longer every time I conclude a new cycle You need to savor a lot of cannabis in order to have a clear idea of ​​how a high quality finished product should look 🔥👌 This is my thought about our true works for having the best , I hope it can be useful 😉 About the Living Soil with my High-Brix formula Like I say week by week , for this lady I have use a 20l geotextile pot with around 1/3 of the Living Soil I have made ( in this case in november 2019 ) First thing to say is Trought this metodology we're not feeding the plants , but the soil ☝️ Basycally the important things are principaly four Soil energy Cation exchange Microbial activity Mineral balance Soil energy is kept high with humus Cation exchange with rock powders Microbial activity is achieved with innoculants and some teas or other Mineral balance is achieved by adding the micronutes and having everything in the right ratio's For doing this I have use a base mostly of light-mix soil with already perlite inside ( classic cannabis soil ) coco nut humus zeolite then I have add Neem soil , Kelp , Krill , Azomite , Basalt , Gypsum , Calcium Carbonate , Phosforite , Alfalfa and Leonardite Then I was have "cooking" it for a month an half And this was the engine that allowed the plant to stay in constant health, keeping the Brix level high 🌳🔥 During the flowering time I have add mostly only water , one times a week with molasses for feeding the microbs I have also make a humus/nutrient tea for she and her sisters , just one time I'm feel good doing in this way , like it and I understand so many more things about the lives into the ground in general But just for be precis.. For having the high brix in plants we must need obviously a good soil with a right nutrition way, but we have also to maintain the environment around her in the best condition Temperature , ur , right water dosage in right time , good ventilation and fresh air The balance it's the key Like in our daylife 🙂 And obviously a fundamental it's First , the right strain selection from serious breeder 🏆🔥 Second , passion&love 💚 (Don't look for them in a growshop) So, I think I said it all I apologize for this long review But I wanted to explain the best of the things that personally took the quality of my cannabis to a higher level Thanks for everybody stopping by here in this few months or just now for the first time🙏 Thanks Barney's farm for create this and more strain 🤝 And like as always thanks the people behind Grow diaries for maintaine this creativity space👏🙌👉💪🏅 Hope you was enjoy Or at least , hope you are stoned like me right now 😁 See you somewhere Always growing 🌲 Looking for a clouds ☁️ Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹 FC

Ich habe die Lampe auf 80% Leistung gestellt und ende Woche zwei gegossen, die Pflanzen haben jetzt einen schönen schub gemacht und sind gut gewachsen. Die Blätter sind nun auch deutlich ausgeprägter. Update Tag 5 (Week 3): Ich habe die drei 10 Liter Stofftöpfe für die Pflanzen vorbereitet, dazu habe ich das Living Soil mit einer 10% Mischung angesetzt. Das Living Soil muss jetzt Dunkel und feucht bis zu 10 Tage stehen um sich um Topf gut zu verteilen. Mischung: 6L BioBizz Light Mix 3L BioBizz CoCo Mix 1L Florganics Paar Haferflocken 1.3 L Wasser Zudem habe ich mir die Pfanzen angeschaut und diese getopped sowie kleine Blätter unten am Stiel entfernt und nur die großen Triebe stehen lassen und gegossen.

the roots obstruct the drainage of the system and the water does not descend into the tank easily and the rockwools and roots are flooded, this causes the increase of ph in the reservoir and in the rockwools. this week I hope to solve the problem, for the moment I use a timer for the water pump (15 on 30 off). update: I solved the problem of the roots on the drain by folding the mat on itself with the whole pack of roots descended into the tub, a little rough but functional. but unfortunately I lost almost a week to flush the girls due to the flooding of the root zone I have to start halving the doses of nutrients again ... ... it was a bad week but maybe I learned something 🍀 water pump restored 24/24h Light lifted up from 50 to 90cm Ppfd 1300 > 1000

Auto cinderella jack - Amazing week of growth. There are new nodes exploding from everywhere and its not showing signs of slowing down. They are currently loving the organic nutes and have started showing signs of flowering. Auto critical cheese - this plant has shot up recently. It was planted a week later that the ACJ but is growing some seriously fat fan leaves. Should be a nice yeilder. Peanut butter cookies - this girl is looking pretty sorry for herself. I am intentionally trying to keep her as small as possible so that I can get the autos out before flipping into flower but she is gonna be a beast. Will transplant into a final pot in the next day or so.

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.

Excited to see seed germ, then they have taken to soil. Its like being a parent all over again I just want them to flourish lol. Need to get my vent sorted and my humidity down gradually but going well. Few issues with a stuck seed shell. Stumpy will and is getting some extra help. DIY C02 is working a treat too 👍👍

We had a mainline break and the clone is doing well so far so good but this main line break down the main stem with actually a blessing in disguise. Next week's post you will see all the new colas that were formed as a result of the stress induced here I will create an artificial knuckle using wire, masking tape and gorilla glue. The reason I will reinforce it is so that when I do high stress training again the split won't break open again.

Just letting them chill. Water when needed. Switched to spring water. Tap is to heavy. Fingers crossed with growing grass with my grass. Trying to make a better soil platform for my conditions.

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. The finale grow week for the first Tropicanna XL is there (the one by the wall), she came out just lovely and the smell is mad. I could use it as perfume it's so rich and fruity, never had a plant with such outstanding fragrance. This week we start of changing the reservoir water to which I decided to add nutrients. Yes, this plant will not get a flush before harvest, it's the first time i'm not flushing a plant for the cut but you know only two of the four girls are ready to chop and it's not possible in my RDWC to seperate feed them. So yes it's kind of an experiment for me...some time ago i heard that "man does not need to flush"... yeah I don't really believe what the white coats tell us but then we watched Dr Bruce Bugbee stating the same thing and he quoted experiments performed by his team... I believe him, and I don't really have much choice. Something's not right with my fresh solution or the plants get root rot or something but the girls starting to show K deficiency...I ended up adding an insane amount of PK through the week...good that the plants are on the finish line :) The SE7000 runs at 550 Watt and about 33cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.
