Harvest Day. Airpot has dried out nicely. Trichomes are perfect and smell is glorious. Large leaf and fan leaf removal prior to whole plant chop and then hang for a low/slow 7-10 day dry before final 2nd (dry) trim and jarring. Will post a 'harvest' week to finish off this lovely, resilient plant once I have dry weights. Thanks to all who viewed and supported, your encouragement and knowledge never fails to help. 👍

Switching over to Jack's finish for the last leg of this grow. Despite the cold they have held up very well. May strips and leaves to make things a little easier on myself in the next couple weeks in addition to letting more light penetrate into the canopy. Thinking another week or so?

This grow gets a ten out of ten from me on behavioral attributes on how she grew through out all the stages of life. Vegging was an absolute pleasure, she thrived off the 125g of amendments, cal-mag, and kelp all the way to day 30. Once I noticed flower development I proceeded to give her, her first feeding of grow and bloom nutrients both at the same time @ a diluted mixture of 25% then proceeded to increase increments as needed into flower, cutting out the grow after two feedings. She has been to date one of the cheapest grows I've ever had, all that's left is to harvest, cure and smoke for the final conclusion on 3 bears auto from Mephisto. Hats off to the boys over there! All this did was get me excited to grow the remaining Mephistos I have stored away!

Both plant 1 and 2 are looking a lot healthier. Started LST with both the autos and it seems to be working well so far. The bigger one has a very strong main stem and is flourishing. The smaller one that I thought I was gonna lose is bouncing back, though at a pretty slow rate. I'll be lucky to get a quarter off that one. I also had a bag seed that I planted before these guys - didn't seem like she was gonna make it, but after I transplanted her to s 5gal pot, she became the healthiest of the bunch. No idea what stain she is, but I don't think she's auto. Works for me -- I'll keep vegging her at least until I harvest the two NLAs and let her grow big and tall :) Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

I've topped this girl a week before I switched to flower, they're all in a 120 x 120 x 200 frow tent under a sf2000 from spiderfarmer I'll add a HLG qb135 in about a week.

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!!

Hello Guys, Hope you are doing good. It's time ! Harvest time ! I'm very happy, it was a good and very interesting grow. You can find all the details of the harvest into my tutorial video. No problem except sticky fingers ! but that's good problem. I will keep using the nutrients until finishing it and then I will try their bio product to compare. I tried a new things for the harvest as currently it's summer time and it's very humid, I read that you should let your plant dry into her pot for around 1 week so it's what I did after flushing. You can see that the fan leaves was already very low so you can tell that the plant enterred into drying with the minimum of water. I don't know if it's saved my harvest but I haven't got any issue during the drying. Take care all Sawyer

Con 22 dias, pasados 7 de la última poda de hojas y 22 del cambio de fotoperiodo me decidí por hacerles una nueva poda, esta algo más severa . Yemas, hojas y chupópteros de bajos. A partir de entonces solo se irán quitando muy de vez en cuando alguna hoja o algun brote o yema que pueda salir por ahí que no me guste, muy poca cosa. Me deshice de la malla, harto me tenia. La quité para la poda y luego me hizo mucha pereza volver ponerla. Prefiero menos cantidad. Esta semana explosión de tricomas

Week 8 of flower and she is massive. I skipped feeding her NFTG in week 7 but I started week 8 heavy. Put up a time lapse of day 49-50 Day 50- NFTG mid flower feed Day 51- No watering. Bloom Khaos Foliar spray Day 52- Flush Day 53- no watering. Bloom Khaos Foliar spray Day 54- Mammoth P/Recharge/ Cal-mag feed Day 55-56 no watering

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wachsen sehr schön und machen keine Probleme. Sie bekommen 20 % Rabatt bei Zamnesia und der Code lautet ZAMMIGD2023.

Fruity Freak 2 and 3 are 57” tall and 48” across. They are both shedding any remaining premature flowers and sugar leaves. Their re-veg / pre-flower stretch looks like it is slowing, so they should be showing flowers soon. The top four branches that had been LST’d have sprouted new shoots along the branches, and it looks like there will be several apical bud sites, which is great! Additionally, the growth tips on those four branches have now split into multiple shoots since the re-veg. It is also interesting to look at these plants as a whole–there are no secondary branches on any of the lower branches, so no need to prune! They also have a nice open shape that permits plenty of airflow. So, despite my delayed and reactive pruning/training, the plants look like they have great potential. I went ahead and took a video of them as it is hard to really capture them in pictures. Fruity Freak 1 is up to 45”. She’s currently a backup plan, so if everything goes well, it is unlikely I will need any of her yield. Fruity Freak E’s clone is taking off, now 14”, up 5” from last week. I received my Mono-Potassium Phosphate this week and designed a new fertilizer blend using it. Now that these plants are about to flower, I am discontinuing the use of the liquid 4-10-3 fertilizer as it has a small amount of Auxin in it. The new recipe is: Mono Potassium Phosphate - 0.5 grams per gallon Potassium Nitrate - 1.36 grams per gallon Soy hydrolysate - 3.52 grams per gallon (Which still hits my targets of 160 ppm N, 30 ppm P, and 175 ppm K) I will update the nutrient section once I have a good guess for tsp/gal conversion.

Super happy with this grow! I'll update harvest pics with pics of jarred buds💚 dosidos is a warranty as well as barneys farm 😍 I'll do it again for sure

🗓️ WEEK 1 / DAYS 1-7 (flo) 🔙 The first four weeks of vegetation went remarkably smoothly. I gradually increased the EC from 0.6 to 1.2, and the plant responded with healthy, compact growth. By the end of week 4, the plant was bushy, vibrant green, and ready for the flip after a 24-hour flush. 💧 At the beginning of this week I introduced a new nutrient solution with EC 1.6 - PH 6 and also started adding a flowering stimulator to the mix, Power Buds by Plagron. She's definitely thirsty, drinking about 2 LT/day, and importantly, isn't showing any signs of stress from the change. 🌱 With the switch to the 12/12 light cycle, the plant has started the stretching, increasing in height from 21 cm to 29 cm. It's also become incredibly bushy! Given her still relatively contained height, I've decided I won't be using a SCROG net.

Saturday 16-11-24 , Flowering day # 53 week 8. Harvest day! Cut branches off plants & hung the 2 front plants off the light. Put scrog net back in with a large flyscreen laying on top, & spread branches from the back plant over it. This allows complete air flow around the buds. Running a single oscillating fan beneath pointing to the bottom. Temperature is around 24°C & RH is 55%

Another powerful strain form in-house genetics (OGKB V 2.1 x Platinum ) pure gassy flavour and aroma which will have all the Kush lovers out there going crazy Absolutely frozen cola
