6/17 - Watered today. 5 days since last watering. Made sure to add water slowly to the cups, as the medium I'm using is a coco/peat based medium, and I realize that peat becomes hydrophobic when it dries out, and the top was close to that. By watering pretty slow, it allows more of it to be absorbed vs just running through. Both Dreamcatcher plants have 2 nodes developed and are starting on their third nodes (slightly behind the Chinook Haze also being grown in the tent). 6/18 - I watered yesterday, then life hit, and the plants were without lights for just over 24 hours. Looks like the newer area started to yellow a bit, which I assume will green again within a day or two now that the lights are back on. 6/19 - Plants are looking good to me. There seems to be a lot less vein swelling, so it appears the chance of overwatering that looked like it was coming on a week ago is subsiding. Got to let them grow some more before I start to chop them up in an attempt to mainline. 6/21 - Plants will be watered tomorrow. Other than that, it is just slowly moving along, and I am considering going to 1g pots soon. I believe I am going to try to go from solo cup to 1g to 5g this time, and I think that by doing so, I might not need to fertilize at all during veg at least. I figure if I can get 3-4 weeks out of the solo cup, then similar out of a 1g, by the time I get to 5g, I will be close to 8-12 weeks, and close to flipping time. I have dimmed the lights a bit, and raised them close to 35" above the 2 Dreamcatcher plants in hope to induce a little stretch between nodes, but they still seem to be growing fairly compact. 6/22 - Watered the plants today. Could have probably waited another day, but I figure 5 days between watering was enough, and the cups did feel pretty light.

Week 7 was another strong week for both Candy Hustle phenotypes, and at this point they are clearly moving into the final part of flowering.🌱 The buds continued to gain density and weight throughout the week, while the resin production has become one of the most impressive characteristics of this grow. ❄️ Both plants are absolutely covered in trichomes now, reaching well beyond the flowers and deep onto the sugar leaves. Some of the larger colas are developing into seriously chunky flowers, while others still show fresh white pistils and appear to have a little more swelling left to do. The first signs of a natural late-flower fade are also becoming more visible, which fits well with where they currently are in their cycle. The differences between the two phenotypes are becoming especially interesting when it comes to aroma. Pheno #1 is developing a distinctly sweet grape profile. 🍇 There is also another note appearing underneath that reminds me slightly of mint or menthol, although I’m still not completely sure how to describe it yet. It gives the otherwise very sweet profile a fresh and slightly unusual edge, and I’m curious to see how much of that remains once she reaches full maturity. Pheno #2 continues in a completely different direction. Her aroma is much more reminiscent of soap combined with that sweet candy/Skittles character. 🍬 The smell has become noticeably stronger during this week and is developing into a very distinctive terpene profile of its own. Water consumption remains fairly high, with the plants currently needing water approximately every two days. 🌡️ Temperature: ~25°C 💧 RH: ~52% 💡 Light: ~1000–1200 PPFD 🚿 Watering: Around every 2 days 💧 Water: RO water + CalMag 🌿 BioTabs Bio PK: 1x this week 🌱 Green House Feeding: No longer applied ☀️ UV: 60 minutes per day UV exposure has now reached 60 minutes per day, and this is where I’m going to stop increasing it. The plants are already deep into flower and showing excellent resin production, so I don’t see much reason to keep pushing the exposure further and potentially introduce unnecessary stress this late in the cycle. Green House Feeding was also left out completely this week. With both plants looking like they could potentially finish within roughly the next two weeks.(possibly even a little earlier depending on how quickly they mature) I don’t feel there is much reason to add more at this stage. BioTabs Bio PK was given once during the week. Overall, Week 7 really shows how differently these two Candy Hustle phenotypes are expressing themselves. The resin coverage is already exceptional, the flowers are becoming increasingly dense, and both plants are developing very distinctive aromas.❄️🔥 Pheno #1 with her sweet grape and possible mint/menthol character is becoming particularly intriguing, while Pheno #2 is heading further into that unusual soapy, sweet Skittles-like direction. 🍇 From here, patience is probably the most important part. There are still fresh pistils and active flower development visible in several areas, so I’m not setting an exact harvest date yet. The next couple of weeks will be about watching the flowers finish, monitoring the trichomes and letting each phenotype tell me when she is actually ready. 🌱✂️

She seems to be doing a lot better since the foliar spray last week. Leaves are a dark green now and the stalks are more malleable due to the silica. Did another Silica foliar spray this week as well. 12 gal of water and it is supposed to rain on them today. Fingers crossed!

MintLickz »»» Unknown Strain Mintz x Lickz It's a 2-year-old clone(probably an f4-f5 clone can't remember how many times I take a cut and grow a new one) I selected from 9phenotypes this one was the best bag appeal for sure. The last time THC test was 19.30% I hope to get better THC and also flavors At first, I just kept her veg for years and didn't bring her to flowering but after I got into Wolfpack Discord and showed her up. Jay Wolfpack and some people came through my inbox and offered to exchange my clones with their fire breeder after just seeing the live flower.

HOLY SHIT! Smells so good right now. I have to wait until Sunday to harvest because I have to go do some stuff. This outdoor plant Has been incredible start to finish. I cannot wait to smoke it in 6 weeks. NUGS are dense, trichomes are large and she basically prunes herself. I’m very proud of this grow, and am excited again for next year. Smells like fruity pine, with a bit of that dank classic Kush. Im excited to see the yeild and more importantly, how much hash I can make.

#WEEK 14 — HEAVY CUT Well, well well. Id recommend a bigger tent for these kind of Experiments, 70x70cm too smallz for even two plants, it seems. Finally, i hope they reached their almost final height and so i had the courage to ✂️. A Bit Late, i think. I had sticky Fingers after 🙄. And so, so many leaves and light-green/-yellowish, very long shoots - what a waste. I think it took 60-90 minutes for both plant, and do they look rough now. Hope they will recover soon. Because then, i suppose, i will have a fine sea of sweet colas. But Finally enough room for airflow, enough exposure to light, and for the view of the massive stems. 😍 Some shoots broke out, canopy is Not very even at the Moment. I guess that will Make it possible to chop these parts first later. Also looks like Slush Mint Cake is about to purple (bottom side of some leaves). However, temperatures starting to rise outside, so we will see (the saying is cold temperatures trigger the purple colors, no?). Smell: there‘s something, but still very faint, not very distinct and rather weird / not so tempting (thats how i would put it) at the moment (yet). According to a lot of other diaries Slush will become very massive - fingers crossed. Make a wish: tents that Open on the backside or both adjacent outer sides as well. Was a slog / grind / drudgery that way.

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. All 4 seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 4 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perilite and mix it all together. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08.20. Nr1 and 2 grow and thrive. Number 3 just got rid of the seedpod and is folding out the sheets. Number 4 is a bit shy and can only be seen if you look carefully into the soil. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-21. Nr 1 and 2 is doing well. Nr3 is trying to catch up and Nr4 is still shy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-23. Transplanted 2 girls from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. The other 2 girls have to wait a little more before transplant to the autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. New pic and movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr3 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now for Nr1 and 2 so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and movie. Everything is looking great right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New pics and videos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. New videos of the girls this morning. Nr1 and 3 looks great and nr 2 is looking a little funny, maby a little stressed. Kl. 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Added video. Kl.. 23.00. New videos, defoliation and leaftucking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-04. Kl. 11.00. Week 3 starts. Trying to LST the girls and defoliate/leaftuck. New picks. KL 23.00. New video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-05. KL 08.00. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. KL 12.00. The girls got 2 liters of water each with nutes in it, added a video. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-06. KL 08.00. The girls woke up after their beauty sleep, the leaves are always a bit down after 6 h of darkness, but they will stretch now when the HPS lamp starts. Everything looks good and I keep trying to tuck the leaves so they get the maximum amount of light where needed. Added pics and video. The Nr 3 girl is still a little bit behind the other 2 girls and all the 3 girls look like there 3 different pheno of the same plant. KL 23.30. Did some LST. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-07. Day 21 from sprouting, Nr3 is 17 days from sprouting. I have never tested PH in my grows, when growing organic in soil iv learned that it adapt PH by it self. But im curious by nature so i had to test. Kl 10.00 Tested PH in the soil, it was 6.9 and tested my tap water and it was 6.8. Added a video of the girls, its 10 H after defoliation, LST and leaftucking. I think its looking good. Kl 22.30. New pics.

D64/F12 - 11.18 - Been a really incredible week for these ladies. All of them are thriving with lovely prebuds <3 D67/F15 - 11.21 - Lovely progress. Even the least beautiful plant in the garden is reaching above the peony rings :) D70/F18 - 11.24 - Pretty aggressive defoliation on these ladies today. They responded great last round, so I expect to see the start to put a lot of weight on soon. The black sugars (second column of three from the left) we way more leafy than the fast white widows

I made some mistakes early on but despite all of that she still grew and produced some nice flowers. Would love to run this one again because she would have been a monster had everything gone a little smoother.

I've added a video review about this strain, and here's the information about Beary White from mephistogenetics.com: -Beary white is a medium sized variety, she doesn't veg for too long before rapidly entering the flowering phase. She has a nice balance of resin coverage on both leaves and flowers. Flowers grow nicely compact and the quality is great. She is a lovely all-rounder in many aspects. -Effect - Strong, Happy, relaxed, but not too inda-couch. -Medicinal Benefits - Great strain for pain and stress relief. Thank you so much for the seeds to grow this great tasting strain. @MephistoGenetics #MephistoGenetics | October 2017000

Applied 1/3 gal Nutrients by hand on day 1 of week 5. I defoliated leaves and shoots on the second node to build my manifold. I will be keeping the 1st and 3rd nodes on each main creating 8 colas with less topping then traditional Main-Lining. I preformed the 2nd topping on day 2 of week 5( the plants now have 8 shoots each and I will eventually be applying LST to the new 8 shoots).I haven't had any more issues with the Blumats but I am still dialing them in...I'm starting to see the pros of having a digital irrigation system vs my analog, but this is what I have available at the moment plus it's nice not having another wire to plug in 😉 Applied 1/3 gal Nutrients by hand on day 3 of week 5. On day 4 of week 5 I defoliated large fan leaves on well developed shoots on node 1 of mains(will do the same to node 3 of mains when those shoots grow out from the last topping). Applied 1/3 gal Nutrients by hand on day 5 of week 5. It's day 6 week 5 and I'm starting to see some possible issues with over watering and over fertilizing. One of my plants leaves started to claw slightly no burnt tips but I can tell she is slightly unhappy. I will lower the nutrients while making sure when I fertilize I get more runoff. I also dialed back my Blumats so that they water less(I'm starting to see a little green algae forming on the surface of the Coco this tells me it is staying too moist).

Week 14! I am starting to get really excited about this plant! She is plumping up and producing a lot of trichomes! Smell is very enjoyable. Fruity, sweet and lemony are smells that come to mind. Doing minor defoliation if I see leaves shading buds.

***Note that I started to count the days when I placed the seeds between paper towels. The seeds were planted 3 days later and sprouted from the ground 2 days after being planted. D80 (13/05/2021): I'm looking at the trichomes every other days. Glue Gelato is starting to show amber on top buds. No amber for Banana Kush and Gelato. This time I will chop them all at the same time so the one I will rely on is the Glue Gelato. As soon as she is ready, I will harvest them all. Banana Kush and Gelato would probably need more, but in term of logistic, I need to harvest all my plants at the same time. D83 (16/05/2021): Not ready yet. I'm checking trichomes closely! 😬 - Light: the lights are at 100% and at 12 inch form the plants. - Temperature: during the day: 24-25C ; during the night: 20C. - Humidity: the humidity is maintain around 46-48% all the time. - Air circulation: There is an oscillating fan on the ground, one fixed fan pointing on top of the canopy and one fixed fan to help cool the lights. - Water: I gave water every other day or when the ground feel dry or the pots feels light. - ***IPM: I never mention it but I'm using nematodes pouch as an integrated pest management. I had trouble with pest in my first grow and I learned from it. That's the only thing I do for pest and of course watching closely and regularly at my plants 😊

🗓️ Week 6 (Flower): Sticky Broccoli #1 — The Chromatic Transition & The 10ml/L Seaweed Offensive 🍋🌋 ​The Data Dump: We have officially hit the Week 6 milestone, and the Sativa-dominant Sticky Broccoli #1 is putting on a masterclass in late-stage floral maturation. We are moving past the "growth" phase and into a high-intensity period of secondary metabolite synthesis and biomass consolidation. ​🎨 The Chromatic Spectrum: Terminal Senescence ​The Autumnal Fade: The canopy is currently undergoing a stunning physiological shift. We are seeing a spectrum of yellows, oranges, and deep reds. This is more than just a "fade"—it’s the degradation of chlorophyll unmasking the plant's latent anthocyanins and carotenoids. ​Nutrient Translocation: This color shift confirms that the plant is strategically cannibalizing its remaining mobile nutrient reserves and relocating that vital energy into the swelling floral clusters. It’s the ultimate "last stand" to maximize bud density. ​🍋 Terpene Profile & Resin Saturation ​The Limonene Surge: The olfactory intensity has reached a critical level. We are dealing with an aggressive, dominant citrus profile—a sharp, "lemon-cleaner" punch that signals a massive concentration of Limonene. ​Trichome Lamination: The sugar leaves are officially "dripping." Instead of just a light frost, we are seeing a total saturation of glandular capitate-stalked trichomes. The resin is so thick it’s practically laminating the floral surfaces, creating a protective barrier of pure potency. ​ The 10ml/L Phytohormonal Blitz ​We’ve made a bold tactical adjustment by pushing the Cold-Pressed Seaweed Juice to a massive 10ml/L. ​The Logic: At this concentration, we aren't just "feeding" the plant; we are overwhelming the Rhizosphere with complex carbohydrates and cytokinins. This acts as a biological "turbocharger" for our Microbe Army. ​Metabolic Support: By super-charging the soil life, we ensure the Green Sensation and FFJ are being processed and delivered with zero latency. This keeps the metabolic "gears" turning even as the plant enters its final autumnal phase. ​🚀 Strategic Forecast: Structural Consolidation ​We are ignoring the trichome color for now—it's far too early for cloudy/amber data. Instead, we are monitoring structural markers: ​Calyx Swell: Watching for the individual calyxes to "crown" and harden, merging the loose stacks into solid blocks of flower mass. ​Pistil Recession: The engine stays at full throttle as long as we see those active, bright white pistils. Once they begin to recede and wither, we'll know we're in the endgame. ​💧 The Week 6 High-Octane Cocktail (Per Liter) ​🌊 Seaweed Juice: 10ml/L (The Metabolic Catalyst) ​🍌 Banana & Jaggery FFJ: 4ml/L (Organic P/K Energy) ​💥 Green Sensation: 1ml/L (Mineral P/K for Density) ​🍯 Sugar Royal: 1ml/L (Amino-driven Resin Synthesis) ​🌸 Power Buds: 1ml/L (Bio-stimulant for Stacking) ​ 🍵 Silica Tea: 2ml/L (Vascular Armor) ​ 💊 CalMag Boost: 1ml/L (Secondary Nutrient Buffer). ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ CONTINUED FROM WEEK 7... REPORT FROM THE SUBSURFACE COMMAND CENTER (SCC) TO: THE OVERGROUND ARCHITECT FROM: LIEUTENANT RADICLE, 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION (ROOT COMMAND) SUBJECT: PAGE 6: THE GREAT SWELL & THE POTASSIUM SIEGE ​Listen up, grunts! We are entering the "Heavyweight" rounds. We are in Flower Weeks 4 through 6. The objective is clear: Operation Sticky Broccoli needs to put on mass. I don't want to see airy, fluffy foliage. I want to see Stones.(Buds in human tongue) ​The "Leaf Brigade" upstairs has done their job—they’ve built the frame. Now, we provide the mortar and the bricks to fill it in. ​I. The Potassium Siege (NPK 1-3-4 Protocol) ​The Architect has just authorized the "Banana & Jaggery" supply drop. ​The Mission: Potassium (K) is our primary target. It’s the "Water Regulator." It’s what drives the internal pressure that swells the calyxes until they look like they’re about to pop. ​Tactical Order to Roots: "I want every ion of Potassium stripped from that soil! If you see a K molecule, tackle it, wrap it in a Humate shield, and fire it up the main vascular elevator immediately!" ​The Result: This is how we turn 'Broccoli' into 'Sticky Stones.' We are packing the cells so tight with fluids and minerals that the buds become hard as granite. ​II. Radio Transmission: SCC to Leaf Brigade (Canopy HQ) ​“SCC to Leaf Brigade, status report on the ‘Frost’ levels. Over.” “Root Command, this is the Leaf Brigade. The ‘Sticky’ in ‘Sticky Broccoli’ is officially online. Trichome production is at 110%. We are currently drowning in resin. Requesting more raw materials for the terpene labs. Over.” “Copy that, you sugar-drunk sun-bathers! We’re sending up a high-pressure surge of carbohydrates and micronutrients. Don't just sit there looking pretty—I want those buds getting so heavy that the Silica-reinforced branches start to groan! We’re pushing the Sugar Royal signals now. Get those trichomes cloudy! Out.” ​III. The Microbe Overtime: The "Jaggery" Bonus ​The introduction of Jaggery (complex sugars) has caused a riot in the Rhizosphere. ​The Scene: The bacteria and fungi are in a total feeding frenzy. I’ve never seen anything like it. They’re eating the sugars and, in exchange, they’re unlocking "Legacy Minerals" that have been stuck in the soil since Week 1. ​The Lieutenant’s Take: It’s a biological mosh pit down here. The Endo and Ecto specialists are working double shifts, mining the deepest corners of the fabric pot. They know that if they perform now, the Architect keeps the humates coming. ​IV. The pH Drift: The "Safety Valve" ​The Architect noticed the pH is climbing toward 6.8. ​Lieutenant’s Orders: "Keep it there! Do not—I repeat, DO NOT—attempt to force it down with harsh acids." ​The Intelligence: At this stage of the Siege, we actually want that slight drift. Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) are highly available in that 6.6–6.8 zone. It’s the "Sweet Spot" for the Swell. We’re letting the chemistry work with us, not against us. ​V. Atmospheric Pressure (VPD 1.4 kPa) ​The air is now at 1.4 kPa. It’s like a vacuum cleaner is attached to the top of the plant. ​The Pumping Station: We are moving record amounts of "Sap-Fuel." The stalks are vibrating with the sheer volume of nutrient-rich water moving upward. ​The Warning: "Watch the tips! If the Leaf Brigade starts showing 'burnt tips,' it means we’re pumping too much pressure. Otherwise, full speed ahead!" ​LIEUTENANT’S SUMMARY: The "Swell" is in full effect. The Sticky Broccoli is becoming dense, heavy, and increasingly fragrant—the "Limonene War" is being won. We are no longer growing a plant; we are manufacturing Stones. Thank for stopping by ✌️💚
