So in the last couple of weeks I tried to make the night time temperature go down enough for them to turn color and they did - the sugar leaves turned a deep bluish green, really nice coloring! I harvested over a 2-day period. Day 1 I hand-plucked the sugar leaves off plants # 1, 2, & 3. Day 2 I hand-plucked plants 4 & 5, trimmed all of them and cut them down whole. I hung them to dry in my closet/former grow room with a boot tray of water with a towel for evaporation. My last grow was a disappointment in the end due to me not realizing how dry it is in the house (here in the living room it's 19% RH due to it being January in Canada and the hot water heating radiators are going full time). When they were dry enough, I did the final trimming, removing all the waste and dividing the buds into 2 classes: Top tier which are the nice tops of the big colas, and 2nd tier, which are the rest. I think I'll learn to make hash with the 223 grams of wet sugar leaves. I'll be adding more to this final entry in the coming days - this has been really tiring! Final numbers for 5 ShishkaBerry plants: Top tier buds (dried not cured) 372g 2nd tier buds (dried not cured) 150g Hand plucked sugar leaves (wet) 223g Waste (Sticks, stems, burnt leaf tips) 128g I'm basing my comments on the taste by the glove-hash I smoked - wow it's really good! I'm looking forward to next month when these buds will be ready to enjoy 😁 I'd like to thank all my new friends here and the other growers that have helped me along the way 😚 Finally, I left you with an outtake video from one of the defoliation sessions 😺 Stay tuned for updates... UPDATE 1: Today I might have made some tincture or something, not sure. I slow-roasted the dried but not cured previously hand plucked sugar leaves and crumbled them up and put them in a mason jar (51 grams 100% dry weight) and added a little bottle of Absolut Vodka (375 ml). I shook the mixture vigorously for a couple of minutes then placed it in a cool area of the house to sit for a few weeks before a first test - not totally sure what I'm doing here). UPDATE 2: Possibly made Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) out of the Alsolut vodka - ShishkaBerry mixture: I strained it so that there was no plant material, reduced it in a double boiler style, not sure what to do with the gooey stuff that's left as a result.

The ladies are looking happy, I'm feeding them about every other day, with cal mag and veg nutes, i started with about 400EC on day 7, and bumped it up each day until I fed them last night with 900EC. I will be transplanting them into their final homes sometime this week, and they will probably get their first topping within 48 hours of going into their final homes. I just let them really adjust and take off first, which only typically takes two days tops. then they will start feeding four times per day at around an EC of 1200. They will also go under a 300-watt Mars Hydro LED, where I will keep them until flower, then I will use CMH lighting. I will also probably run a time lapse of building the mainlines once they go in the big tent later this week. I've never run these specific strains, but have run strains by Brothers Grimm, RQS, and Barney's Farm and have had excellent results. Thanks for stopping by, stay safe, and blaze on!

Pendant la phase de pré-floraison elle à doubler de taille x2.

Jetzt geht’s rund! Bin mal gespannt wie die jetzt abliefern. Hab ne kleine Defoliation gemacht. Gelollipoppt wurde diesmal nichts, weil ich n canopy diameter von 30-40cm hab und das alles im Bereich ist wo das Licht stark genug hinkommt. Sie sehen jetzt auch wieder top top gesund aus und beten zum Licht. Die trichomen Produktion gefällt mir bis jetzt auch gut, da ziehen sie ordentlich an! Ende der Woche nehme ich falls nötig nochmal das ein oder andere überflüssige Blatt ab und dann lass ich sie in Ruhe.

Getting there

Man i'm stoked about these cherry's 😁 @ Day 16 of flower i found on 2 of the lady's purple pistills😱, and some slight traces of purple on the leaves. I also finaly took iniative to do some clean up under the skirt lol, and did a good defol @ Day 14. My feeding regime seem to work quite wél with these no deficiënties or burn i @ EC 1.5. I'm Dome talking Growmies lol, rock on💚

Final defoliation completed. Buds fattening up, especially last 72 hours. Please chime in on the trichome pictures.

We are all finished! 79 days from seed, 11 weeks !

I'm in southern Ontario. Spring is in the air! Humidity levels have risen with rainfall, and temperatures are rising outside and inside my tent. I have been leaving my tent door open during the day and semi-closed at night. Plants in tent do not yet smell and I have my air intake/carbon filter, by VIVOSUN, turned off. During the day my small clip-on fan circulates. At night I let her rest in the cooler air and turn the fan off. May 2: Watered with a PH of 6.5, always using a bit of vinegar to PH down. Water included a pinky finger tip amount of crushed and stirred eggshells. Shells had been sitting in the water for 1.5 days. Shells did not enter the medium. Just the water they sat in.

Blüte Tag 11 bis jetzt ist der stretch zum Glück noch nicht so heftig und ich seh wie sich die ersten Mini Blüten entwickeln :)

So this one started slow but healthy. She was a sativa that expected much more leg space and warmer humid climate which i fixed later. Needs LsT. I hit it with my concoction to keep her short it worked. Dense nugs especially for sativa hybrid. Not loud but tropical sweet. I needed 11 weeks min for flower could run 12 even though I seeded mine. Tiny sativa seeds like the original ibl bred by jaffa seeds uk and brought to me by Pevseeds. Not bad for under a cheap 120w led quantum and 3 gallon grow bag. I should have went with 5. The roots were amazing dense.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady is nice and compact and tight lots of leaves that I had too remove too open up her bud sites , stretch was also minimal ,

Note : * = Changed watering schedule to giving 4 Liters per plant per day since day 3 during week 12, currently giving 6 liters a day per plant due to extreme temperature change. Might drop back to 5 Liters per plant per day depending on weather conditions. Note : Haven't been giving nutrients to my plants since the beginning of week 12, will be giving nutrients again at the end of week 14. The plants are having 2 weeks of flushing and seeing if they are in need of nutrients or not. Week 13 - Day 1 : Upscaled watering * Week 13 - Day 2 : Unknown information Week 13 - Day 3 : Water check, pinched lower branches Week 13 - Day 4 : Unknown information Week 13 - Day 5 : Temperature check, humidity check, pinched branches of subjects 1,2 and 3 Week 13 - Day 6 : Restday Week 13 - Day 7 : Pinched branches from subjects 1,2 and 3. Week 14 - Day 1 : Pinches branches of subject 1,2 and 3. Picture from above showing the canopy of subject 1,2 and 3. Showing subject 4 and 5. Week 14 - Day 2 : Restday Week 14 - Day 3 : Unknown information Week 14 - Day 4 : Pinched branches of subjects 1,2 and 3. Week 14 - Day 5 : Pinched branches of subjects 1,2 and 3. Super cropped subject 1 into a more even canopy, bend into a 90-degree angle and secured with a rope. Week 14 - Day 6 : Changed setup, due to subject 5's height he needed to be moved more backward, also for a better-controlled airflow. Week 14 - Day 7 : Restday, didn't make a picture of subject 3 accidentally. Note : Still haven't been using nutrients yet for 2 weeks straight. I don't think they need that much nutrients since I have been giving them so much lately. Will ask this tomorrow in my new grower question and lets see who comes up with the best answer for this.

So far so good! She didn't get affected by mold whereas two other plants in the room started to show bad signs, I lost two tiny colas but this GBK is safe. Colas are getting almost as big as a soda can. It seems that the foxtailing has stopped so I guess my quantum board was too close, dimming the driver down was the good thing to do. Stay tuned! 😎

C’est une super bonne semaine, ça avance, je continue d'arroser à l’eau, un peu minérale et beaucoup du robinet. Ça donne un bon ph mais les feuilles continuent de jaunir et de tomber pour certaines... je crois qu’on approche de la fin. Je vais tester, si je le reçois, le monster bud booster pack. Ce sont des engrais liquides avec du pk 13/14 , un truc pour les racines et du sucre... je devait l'essayer là mais il y a eu une erreur sur ma commande. J’ai reçu les engrais en granulés que j’ai déjà mis au début de cette culture. Je devrais recevoir ça dans la semaine prochaine.

She's really starting to take off now I've corrected the lights height and strength, you'll see in the next week that I'll start having some pH issues, I'm usually an outdoor grower. This is my first indoor grow so I don't have all the stuff you need yet, I should be getting a pH pen and PPM metre soon.

She is fattening up and has a great aroma! Trichomes are super cloudy...no amber. A few more weeks..

Día 48 . Ya se comienza a llenar la carpa de brotes 🌴, aún falta para pasar a floración 👽. . El led que uso es un TS1000 de Mars-Hydro 🛸🚀 a 17" o 40cm de las plantas. . ▪️Variedad: Big Devil F1 Fast Version ▪️Carpa: 80x80x160 ▪️Temperatura: 28°C ▪️Humedad: 65% ▪️PH agua: 6 ▪️NPK: 8-3-3 : 2ml/litro

Another week successfully completed... All the plants are developing very well, the flowers are plumping up nicely, and all the plants smell great... Everything is as expected, and now we're closer to the end than before... Happy growing to all! 🌱🌿💪
