This week everything continues to progress smoothly with no major changes. I slightly reduced the LED intensity, and the plant is now receiving around 650–700 PPFD to keep the environment balanced during flowering. For now, I’m just maintaining stable conditions and letting the flowers continue developing 🌸💪

so far no problem. I only have problems with the temperature, but so far I can handle it somehow

Here's some pictures of late week 1 into week 2. They are still all in their solo cups. In the future, we'll try to label them in the soil so the pictures will show which seed is which. For now, the names are written on the sides of each cup - just can't see that from the pics. TOTAL = 6 cups, all different seeds. Here's the list of seeds that have remained since we started: - Rubber Match by Secret Society Seed Co (regular seed)* x1 (down from 2) status: first seed just didn't pop and never started growing. 2nd seed is doing fine. :) - Something Good by Twenty20 Mendocino (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - Acapulco Gold by Barney's Farm (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - Purple Lemonade by FastBuds (Auto) x1 status: doing fine. - Skywalker by NASC (feminized) x1 status: doing fine. - ADDED: Glue Sniffer by Twenty20 Mendocino (feminized) x1 status: started 1x Glue Sniffer, and it is doing fine. (germination week 1 in paper towel) BONUS!!! We found some more NASC freebies!! We have 3x of the Blueberry Cupcake x MAC1 by Humboldt pheno and Girl Scout Cookies (feminized) by NASC. So, we might start one of those if space permits. To conclude week1, the current sprouts are growing in their cups. They are all looking comfortable and are reaching for the wonderful, southern sunlight. We're looking forward to the next weeks of vegetation and eventually transferring them into larger pots in a few more weeks time - all while we wait for some more warmer days ahead. One thing we noticed is that they seem to do much of their growing overnight! But maybe it's because we aren't looking at them as much LOL

5/18 It's not raining now but it's supposed to later. The plants are protected though. I have brought them out to continue hardening. It's only 57 degrees but they'll be alright. I used what little water was left in the bottom of the gallon to lightly water what looked like it needed it most. I mixed up another gallon and I'll check them again before they go in for the night. These plants are getting hardened off properly. I've had some pretty serious problems when I try to transition to quickly. I don't see ANY problems (knock on wood) thus far. Pink kush reminds me of purple punch. It grows similarly and starts off slow. I hope it turns the corner like the purple punch did and make up for it with the quality of flower. I topped/fimmed a special kush #1. I'll update when I bring them in for the night. This week I'll clean/sanitize the cage and the grow bags. EDIT: PLANTS SPENT A LITTLE OVER 3 HOURS IN THE LEAN-TO WITH INDIRECT SUNLIGHT AND EXPOSIRE TO OUTDSIDE AIR, TEMPS AND RH. I DIDNT WATER WHEN I BROUGHT THEM BACK IN. I'LL CHECK TOMM MORNING AND SEE HOW THEY LOOK. IT HAD JUST STARTED TO RAIN LIGHTLY WHEN I BROUGHT THEM IN. THEY ARE PRETTY SHELTERED FROM WIND AND RAIN IN THE LEAN-TO. 5/19 It's thunderstorms out with high winds so the girls will probably stay in today. They look like they are acclimating well. I can see where some of the FIMS took. I redid one I think. I'll update later if do anything. 5/20 Everything looked AMAZING this morning. Boy that MK ULTRA has get some thick branches already forming. Another shitty rainy day. I consulted chatgtp and it was on the same page as me. No real benefit to expose my girls to 47° Temps, cold rain qnd wind. It will be shitty a couple more days. I'll evaluate things later. WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY. TOPSOIL WAS DRY. I USED APPROX 2/3 OF A GALLON ON EACH PLANT. 5/21 I've got a super busy day. I left early and it was to cold to put the girls out. It's 55° at 9:30a.m. It may rain off and on but I think the girls would do okay in the lean-to. I need to get them ready and hardened for their forever homes. Time seems like it's flying. We are getting close to being able to put them out without risk of reveg. Plus I'm not subjecting my girls to un needed stress for no reason. I'll update what I do. 5/22 Plants were dry this morning. I used what was left in the gallon jug to water all the plants. I don't wantcto overwater and I'd like to keep the nutes in the soil where the plant can absorb them. Not just leak out the bottom. They are all growing at an incredible pace. It's currently 49°F at 9:45. It's overcast with a chance of rain. We are at what was suppised to be the high for the day. If we get above 55 I'll bring the girls out and continuing hardening. I guess it's not going to he an early season. Won't be long though and these girls will be in their final homes. I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. EDIT: ITS 4PM AND THE SUN JUST PEEKED OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IS GONE AGAIN. PLANTS LOOK FANTASTIC. IM SO GLAD I KEPT THEM IN DURING THESE 40 LOW 50 DEGREE WET DAYS. IT'LL ONLY STRESS THEM IMO SINCE THEY LOOK SO GOOD. AS SOON AS THIS RAINSTORM AND COLD WEATHER PASSES WE SHOULD HAVE DECENT WEATHER. JUST A FEW MORE DAYS WHERE HIGHS ARE IN THE 40'S. I FEEL BAD FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT SAW THOSE HIGH 70-80 DEGREE DAYS AND PUT THEIR PLANTS OUT. THEY ARENT DOING GOOD. JUST LOOKING AT THE FOLIAGE AROUND AND I CAN SEE TREES THAT ARE JUST LIMP. THE BLOSSOMS ON THIS SPECIES LOOK LIKE A CANNABIS PLANT IN VEG WHEN IT GOT COLD SHOCKED. ANYWAY MY BODY IS KILLING ME. I GOT A LOT DONE. AND I SOAKED MY BAGS FOR 40 MINS IN A MICTURE OF DAWN, H202 AND WATER. PRIOR I USED A WIRE BRUSH TO GET ALL DIRY AND STUFF OFF I COULD. THEN I SOAKED THEM AND AFTER I RINSED THEM. I COULD SEE THE H2O2 DOING ITS WORK. REALISTICALLY I SHOULD GET NEW BAGS. ITS JUST NOT IN THE FINANCES RIGHT NOW. OH WELL. THEYVE BEEN SANITIZED AND WASHED AND ILL GO OVER THE ONES THAT ARE STAINED AGAIN JUST TO MAKE SURE I DONT SPREAD SOMETHING. 5/23 What a miserable day. It's 44° and pouring out. I put a screenshot of tbe weather and you can see that after the next few shitty days we are getting sunny weather in the 70's. Light is long enough for them now. I need to dial back the timer morecto get them acclimated. I just have to clean up the cage and they are ready to go. Bags are sanitized. I'm going to spend some more time getting some algae off a couple. These plants are flourishing. I am happy I picked 1gal over 3gal before the transplant. It's turned out perfect thus far. Really looking forward to this. Oh and I watered everything a LITTLE bit as it was dry. Enough to get it through until they get a full watering before going outside. I also attempted a FIM on the other 10th planet. The FIM on the mk ultra worked and I've got at least three tops. 5/23 WATERED ALL PLANTS WITH APPROXIMATELY A HALF GALLON. Plants were all super light and dry. I keedcto water more volume at a time. This is easier than fixing overwatering. Things are getting tight in here. Plants are getting huge! The FIMs and Toping that ive done took. That big mk ultra has 4 or 5 tops on it! Plants look super healthy. Good weather is coming. They'll be in their forever homes shortly. It's working out perfect. Some of these plants look like they'll need a transplant soon. Still need to clean up the grow cage but that will only take a minute. Also need to fix a tear I made in a grow bag but again thats just normal small shit. If you look at the snap shot of weather I took you can see the weather is going to improve greatly. This is when I'll do the majority of work. I'll update anything else I do.

I may not be great with the camera and media, but this was a fun run for me. Just as fun as watching everyone's approach and finishing results. Huge thanks to our sponsors. 1 plant to rule them all 😆🙄😂 Stay lit my friends... won't be long now!

7/30 I defoliated another 3 gallon bucket of dead leaves. I really hope this is senescence. It appears to be. However some little leaves on the bottom interior seem to be turning yellow and falling off. Plants look healthy. I always worry when this happens. I labeled this week as flower as I can see the "asparagus stalks" stretching that will eventually become colas. Pistols are evident. I'm wondering if my ph is off. I can't find my meter. That's how it always goes. Only thing I can't find is the thing I need. I'll update once I put some work in. I think the girls are hungry. I will feed tomorrow. Tonight looks cool enough to spray. Now to decide WHAT to spray. 7/31 FED 3 GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. I didn't water before or after I fed. I was on a time constraints and plants looked hungry. I hope I'm not putting to many salt based nutes to the soil to cause lock out. Leaves on my GDPs seem to be dropping. They've grown WAY taller though. I'll have to look at a deficiency chart but it just looks like they are bleached out. I hope the WPM didn't stop them from performing photosynthesis. It can't stay this hot forever though and I'll be applying either organocide or potassium bicarbonate to treat the WPM. It's not a bad case anyway. I'm not losing AS many leaves but lots have dropped or turned yellow. Leaves at the very top of the GDP have tacoed. Hopefully the kelp me kelp you helps. I put down more slug bait pellets to hopfully kill these bastards. Can't find my ph meter. I'm probably going to have to do a slurry test if i cant find it. One cool thing is that NYC Skunk Ape plant is ridiculously resilient. Even with plants around that have pm and other stuff this bush stands strong unaffected by disease or pest. 8/1 Didn't water. Leaves on my GDP's are turning yellow and the very top leaves are tacoed. I'm defoliating what I can. Ph must be off or something. Not sure. I'll update later 8/2 I took a few one minute videos to shoe friends the yellowing leaves. He thinks lockout as well. It's strange. Only the GDPs are showing these signs of extremely yellowing bleaching leaves. I did feed 3 gallons without watering due to a medical emergency. Maybe that fucked up the ph at the root zone. The tops of some of the GDPs have burnt 🌮 leaves. Friend said that's a sign of lockout. This morning the damage was the most evident as I didn't defoliate the prior day. I see all plants transitioning to flower though. The blueberry that was sideways and needed to be supported is doing awesome. The GDPs rte the only plants that seem to be struggling. I was worried about that when getting my clones. Oh well we will see how things work out. I either need another ph meter or a way to test soil ph. UPDATE: I bought another soil ph meter. The GDP in the middle had readings anywhere from 7.3 to 8.5. The other GDPs were low 7's. Same with other plants I got a read on. My well water is a tad alkaline. Not much. Usually adding nutes brings it down to perfect. I say this every year but I need to stop using salt based nutrients. I filled a 5 gallon bucket and phed the water before using the majority to 'kinda' flush the medium of the large GDP. I did the same to the other GDPs. Only time will tell if this was the correct move. Still have problems with earwigs. I added more sluggo plus pellets. I may go over after dark and see what I can find. 8/3 Massive thunder storm last night. Measured the ph and the three best plants (2 9lb kush, 1 NYC Skunk ape) had ph of 6.6 and 6.7. I couldn't read the skunk ape but it's the healthiest looking. The GDPs are ALL high 7's with the back of one bag registering at 8.5 at the highest!! This is after all that rain too. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'll update later. I see prior earwig damage on the small interior thin Larry stuff. I may need to lollipop. This is a challenging year. 8/4 The GDPs look pretty rough and are transitioning to flower. I'm wondering if I should just strip the damage from earwigs (almost like lillipoping) and cut the small interior larfy stuff that's been damaged. I did some slight defokiating but the gdps have dropped a lot of leaves. Transplanted that nycsa clone that was in a 1 gal FOREVER into a 10 gal smart pot. I don't expect much but better than just letting it die like I had been. The 9lb kush clone will get thrown in either another 10gal bag or right I. My pile of old soil. I have a lot of work to do. I have some plants that are doing amazing. I have a couple in rough shape. No more clones for me. No more foxfire nutes either. I always run into lockout at least once and I don't feed heavy. I'll update as I progress. Today is another day in the upper 90's with rh about the same. 8/5 I guess we got some rain last night. I brought the ph on all the plants down. Highest readingcwas 7.4 which is better than 8.5. That one big GDP is in some rough shape. Earwigs have stripped some internal shoots to absolutely nothing but a stick. I thought I was controlling the population pretty well but I guess not. I will go back over add more sluggo plus, de and petroleum jelly and possibly do a spinosid spray. Plants are really transitioning to flower. If imvgoungvto away now is the time. PM is there but it's really not that bad.

here they are! 2 beauties. I plan to apply all existing stress techniques to them. topping LST HST Mainlining and so on. Most likely I hang them in one pot. I have experience growing 2 plants in 1 pot and it works great.

21/4 excellent plant, in the whole cycle it has never given problems, the classic tree structure, and the branches are full of buds and greasy and sticky! the smell is not very strong yet

Growing well.

This week has gone fine nothing much to report really flower sites are stacking up nice. Trichomes are making an appearance and some nice grapefruit peel smell only subtle but it’s starting to develop. 👍🏼

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Oh Man... Just saw a leaf with some spider mite damage on it. But I'll be harvesting in about 4 days anyway, so not really a big problem. Just don't want to bring them inside, so I'll do a pat down when I leave the greenhouse. Rub my clothes like I'm brushing off sticky dust. And not wear the same shoes down in the inside grow areas. This plant has WPM too. I've been spraying some frequency altered water on it. Knocks it out.... Look it up. Works good. OK Have Fun. Chuck.

Please Like and/or Follow the Diary..... May all your grows be plentiful and trouble free..... UPDATE: Switched out my UnitFarm UFS3000 for my "NEW" UnitFarm UF4000 v2 Upgrade version, 400 Watts, check out the unboxing/setup video.... she in starting to kick into gear now...stay tuned

Looks like this might be the last week for this girl. Was hoping to see more change in tricomes but not sure if worth the wait. Give it a few more days and see what the loop says.

Grow diary 11. This grow I'm running 4 diaries, one for each strain in the tent. So my plan is instead of a week being 7 days, my weeks are most likely going to be every 10 days. I think I'm going to take pictures every 5 days so there is a mid week and end week shot. I'm germinating in my propagation tent which is secret jardin dp60. I soaked the seeds in water for 15 hours. The seeds sank so i took that as a good sign. After the seed had soaked for 15 hours I then soaked the rockwool cube for 30 mins in PH 5.8 water with 0.5ml/L hydroguard. Gave the cube a shake and let it drain for 30 mins before placing the seed pointy side down so the top of the seed is level with the cube. Covered seed with a loose bit of rockwool. Placed into propagator with the sunblaster t5 lights on constant. After 71 hours the seed popped TEMP MAX 34.2C AVG 30.1C MIN 25.8C HUMID MAX 86.3% AVG 80.3% MIN 57.2% VPD MAX 2.07 AVG 0.83 MIN 0.64 Hopefully back in 10 days.

Saudações. Bem melhor planta do ano no meu jardim. Voltei plantar no futuro, sem dúvida. Bem chegou o grande dia, cortei minha menina. Ela tem botões tão lindos que até me custou um pouco cortar. Na sala tinha ácaros aranha, mas menina não foi afetada. Adicionei luz UV-C para manter praga controlada, mas acho que minha menina tem poucos cabelos, deve ser por isso. Agora nos últimos dias menina estava sozinha, luz UV-C apagada cabelos aparecendo. Bem não é grave ela está cheia de resina, um cheiro apaixonante, deve ter um poder que dá medo 😂 Estou rendido com qualidade de Dutch Passion. Bem todos cultivadores tem um dia plantar genética directa de Dutch Passion. Sim pois indirectamente já todos nós provámos, todos banco do mundo tem um pouco de Dutch Passion. Cannbis e seu mercado como o conhecemos hoje, devemos muito a Dutch Passion pioneiro no mercado. Não preciso dizer para ir ver novidades e promoções em Dutch Passion Bem melhor planta de interior do ano 2024 no meu jardim. Voltarei plantar está menina fazendo mãe para minha coleção de mães. No geral correu tudo bem, para mim melhor planta de concurso, fazendo um comparando outros diários. Muitos podem concordar comigo. Tenho pena não ter tido tempo para tirar uma boas fotos, que era principal objectivo de concurso. Também com máquina fotográfica de alta qualidade e ando tirar fotos com telefone de merda. Podia muito bem estar no pódio, e tivesse dedicando uns minutos para tirar fotos. Bem para o próximo ano vou tentar fazer melhor. Tive ela secar por 10 dias pendurada inteira, mais 5 dias embrulhada em papel. Estou pronta para entrar em cura. Tem botões lindos, duros como pedra, cheios de resina e um cheiro delicioso, fiz uma pequena prova, mas ainda sem cura sabor terraço com uma mistura frutado, simplesmente deliciosa, aguardar por curar. Ansioso para poder provar todo seu esplendor. Saudações até breve

I started germination of 2 Jack F1 beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their new home. Cant wait! Just some background information on my last run with the Jack f1. It was relatively strong during veg. But was middle of the pack in size after the 6 weeks of vegetative growth. After the flower stretch she became the largest quick! With a enormous stretch rate of 300%... Yes she tripled in size. Forcing me too super crop her which she didnt like at all. Setting her back and definitely hurting her all around yeild. Despite the staggering, unexpected stretch amount. Leading to the stress inducing supercropping. She still pulled off immaculate bud structre, density, and trichome production. She just took much longer than she should have... and didnt pack on the whopper size buds I'd expect out of these genetics. Definitely learned alot out of my first go. So I'm amped for the second run with this variety. This time around I'm going to anticipate the stretch and cut veg time shorter. To roughly 4 weeks or 1 ft in height. Also utilize a bit of very light lst to their side branching to open them up a little bit. Without stressing them out... well hopefully.

Oooh yea' thiz weeks and da latter weekz aRe all about pushing those buds out. GottA SqueeZe !!!!!! Every night we move inside to da lightBulB for an additional 5-8 hours of light. Dat means I wake up at 3 am just to flip da lights off and wake up again at 8 to take her outside. DiD some smoke tests witt da bud leafs, not fan leafs, sticky bud leafs & da stuff iz GoooooooD. I did some fun goofy vidz dis time around. Ya know eveybody sooo serious about dis ganjah stuff...ooo itz got so much delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol but dey say THC instead and ooo dos resin iss soo much better den dat razen and fffffffkkkkk just dont smoke for 4 months and watch how one puff will knock yo dum@$$ out. A drug problem is abusing a substance...BuT yea. Tired of using technology.

Day 106. Final stretch ! All jobs done ! I changed my mind about defoliation, was asked already by second person and will try to do my own RSO for them. Normally i would call it a mistake, needed to lolitop them 20 cm up more, my lights are too weak for 10 such big plants, but in oil production case - its a win ! You should use all plant for production, not only buds, so ill give it a go. Only water in reduced amounts is all my work left. Hope to push them two more weeks. So FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH !!! as much as you can hope in soil ... ;))) Happy Growing !

The buds are still growing and I have already discovered the first amber-coloured trichomes on Bruce Banner and S.A.D. #4. I think the harvest will be ready in 2-3 weeks. Until then, I will continue to observe the trichomes with the microscope.
