Come on Man City!

VERY VERY STONED

At one point, the water in the reservoir became anaerobic, causing the plants stress, so I cleaned it out along with the tray and reapplied the BioBizz nutrients according to the chart. I also added an aquarium pump to help keep the water stirred. When using organic nutrients, I realized that the pipes can become clogged, so every four weeks, I flush and clean everything. Other than that, and some temperature heat waves that I struggled with, the plants were happy.

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

Week 10 - Second Week of Flowering 🌸 As week two of flowering begins, the garden’s growth is unstoppable! These ladies are thriving, stretching up while staying beautifully vibrant and green. Every inch of this tent is optimized—each plant is soaking up light, nutrients, and water precisely as they need, filling the room with energy. Room Conditions 🌡️ • Temperature: 27.3°C • Humidity: 62.6% • CO₂ Levels: 800 ppm • VPD: 1.36 kPa (excellent range for robust flowering) • Lighting Intensity: 818 PPFD Solution & Medium 💧 • Solution Temp: 21.5°C | TDS: 470 ppm | pH: 6.02 • Medium: Moisture 100% (recently dried to 67%), TDS 510 ppm, Temp 22.5°C The “dry-out” to 67% was a strategic move, helping boost nutrient uptake and root strength. Meanwhile, our slight increase in reds seems to be having the desired effect, nudging these ladies further along in the flowering process. Eye Safety & LED Lighting 🌞🕶️ With powerful LED systems like the ThinkGrow and ICL-300, eye protection is critical. LED grow lights emit high-intensity light across the full spectrum, including intense UV and infrared components that are not easily detected by the human eye. Long-term exposure without adequate protection can lead to eye strain, and in extreme cases, damage to vision. • Blue Light Hazard: LEDs often have elevated levels of blue light, which can harm the retina over time if proper precautions aren’t taken. • UV Protection: Even low doses of UV can accumulate and harm eyes, so grow glasses with UV protection are essential for any indoor gardener. Investing in quality grow room glasses can help protect from glare, UV, and infrared rays, making plant care safer and more comfortable. Lighting Enhancements: ICL-300 In-Depth 🔆 The ICL-300 is our newest addition, specifically designed for inner canopy illumination. This LED offers a targeted light boost under the canopy, enhancing flower growth in lower and shaded areas—ideal for maximizing yield and light efficiency. • Dual Spectrum Technology: The ICL-300 provides a custom spectrum designed to penetrate deeper into the plant canopy, promoting robust bud formation throughout. • Enhanced Light Distribution: With strategically positioned diodes, the ICL-300 reduces shadowing and balances light distribution to all parts of the plant. • Energy Efficiency & Heat Management: This light is designed to be energy-efficient, running cooler and reducing the risk of heat stress within the grow space. The inner canopy light gives the plants exactly what they need, particularly during the flower stage when bud sites deep in the canopy can benefit from more direct exposure. However, after noticing slight leaf burn on some plants, I’ll hold off a bit longer before fully integrating this light to ensure optimal adjustment. Looking Forward 🌟 As we continue dialing in conditions, it’s all about balance, precision, and taking proactive steps to optimize every aspect of the grow environment. We’ll keep a close watch on the canopy height, and next week, I’ll aim to fine-tune the light integration even further with the ICL-300. P.S. - ICL-300 and CO₂ Sensor 🌱 The TrolMaster CO₂ Sensor (MBS-S8) has been crucial for real-time CO₂ adjustments, ensuring the plants get exactly what they need without constant monitoring. Combined with the ICL-300’s spectrum flexibility, these tools make an unbeatable setup, allowing for nuanced control over plant growth and development. As always, a huge thanks to the Grow Fam for the tips, support, and enthusiasm! I’m excited to see what these next weeks will bring as these plants reach their full flowering potential.

12/21/20 Seeing exponential growth now. I don’t want to start any type of training until I am able to take some clones off each plant. Very excited for this grow Nutes: Veg A: 0.382g/gal Veg B: 0.257g/gal PPM: 140 Water temp: 64°F pH: 6.0 12/22/20 Nutes: Veg A: 0.382g/gal Veg B: 0.257g/gal PPM: 140 Water temp: 64°F pH: 6.0 12/23/20 I upped nutrients today just slightly as to not cause any damages/burns. Nutes: Veg A: 0.437g/gal Veg B: 0.294g/gal PPM: 145 Water temp: 64°F pH: 6.0 12/24/20 Nutes: Veg A : 0.874g/gal Veg B : 0.588g/gal PPM : 275 Water Temp: 64°F pH : 5.9 12/25/20 Accidentally vacuumed up two leaf tips when vacuuming up excess runoff 🤦‍♂️. 1 leaf off both #3 & #4. It was the single blade fan leaf on both so I took off the matching leaf. 2 leaves off each plant for total 4 leaves. Nutes: Veg A : 1.53g/gal Veg B : 1.03g/gal PPM : 435 Water temp : 64°F pH : 5.9 12/26/20 Nutes: Veg A : 1.53g/gal Veg B : 1.03g/gal PPM : 435 Water temp : 64°F pH : 5.9 12/27/20 Nutes: Veg A : 1.53g/gal Veg B : 1.03g/gal PPM : 435 Water temp : 64°F pH : 5.9

Sending them into flower, let’s see what they can do! Plant in the back looking like a absolute keeper. Greenhouse plants doing insanely good.

This girl is so beautiful, the colors, the density, the citrus scent, and the resin are the perfect combination. A very good strain and easy to grow, I'm loving the results. Stay green ✌️👊🌿

Blackberry Moonrocks is building some nuggets! They are looking extremely frosty! Starting to show some purple hues which is very pretty. Here's what I did this week. I used Ecothrive dry amendments to replnish the soil. I did the top dressing on 12.9.25. It consisted of the following amendments; 💚 1/2 TBSP Bloom 💚 1/2 TBSP Life Cycle 💚 1/2 TBSP Diatomaceous Earth I watered the top dress in with 3.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 2ml Trace 💜 2ml Flourish PH: 6. 5 PPM: 335 16.9.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with; 💜 2ml Trace 💜 2ml Flourish PH: 6.4 PPM: 558 I'm keeping her hydrated. The lighting could certainly be better, but it is what it is. The plants just were totally different sizes, so this next run, plants are planted around the same time due to this issue. The newest run I am implementing is a SOG again, as that worked best. The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thank you for stopping by this week and hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️😊🧡

**Semaine 5 : Cinquième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Bulking (18-24 mars 2026)** **Note :** transition réussie vers le bulk végétatif. ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine Semaine 5 = entrée franche dans le **bulking** pur. Le stretch est terminé, l’énergie est désormais massivement redirigée vers le gonflement des buds, la production de trichomes et l’accumulation de masse/resine. Steering : **végétatif confirmé** (irrigations fréquentes, runoff 20-30 %, dryback contrôlé mais moins agressif que pendant le stretch, VWC plus stable). Objectif principal : maximiser le volume et la densité des buds tout en maintenant une santé parfaite jusqu’au pic de résine (semaines 6-8). **Petit point éducation + tips sur la fin du stretch et le passage en bulking** - **Fin du stretch** : chez la plupart des variétés hybrides/indica-dominantes comme Sticky Broccoli, le stretch s’arrête ou ralentit fortement entre la fin de semaine 3 et milieu de semaine 5. Ici, seulement +10 cm cette semaine (vs +20 cm/semaine auparavant) → c’est **parfaitement normal et souhaitable**. La plante a fini d’étirer ses entrenœuds et passe en mode « remplissage ». - **Pourquoi les buds grossissent maintenant + trichomes apparaissent** : La combinaison steering végétatif + EC 2.6-2.95 + PK 13/14 + Sugar Royal + Green Sensation + enzymes + CO₂ 900 ppm + DLI 32 + UV 45 min/jour crée un environnement hyper favorable à la division cellulaire et à la biosynthèse des cannabinoïdes/terpènes. Les trichomes (glandes résineuses) commencent à se multiplier et à grossir dès la semaine 5 chez les génétiques résineuses. C’est le moment où on voit la plante « s’épaissir » vraiment. - **Tips concrets pour maximiser le bulking** : - Ne pas monter l’EC trop vite (3.2-3.4 risque de lockout léger en coco) - Garder le VPD jour 0.9-1.2 kPa et nuit 0.8-1.1 → transpiration optimale sans stress - Augmenter progressivement l’UV (45 → 90 min/jour en semaine 6) pour booster terpènes et THC - Surveiller le runoff pH (idéal 5.8-6.2) → si il descend sous 5.7, petite montée pH solution 0.1-0.2 - Photos tous les 2-3 jours pour détecter tôt tout jaunissement bas ou pointe de feuille qui brunit ### Observations des Plantes - **Plante dominante** : a clairement pris le dessus. Hauteur actuelle **~1m50** (seulement +10 cm cette semaine). Stretch terminé, structure très grosse et aérée, canopée dense mais bien pénétrée par la lumière. - **Buds** : commencent à vraiment grossir, les calices s’épaississent, premiers trichomes visibles à l’œil nu sur les buds supérieurs (légère brillance sucrée). Pistils encore majoritairement blancs mais commencent à s’enrouler légèrement. - **Vigueur générale** : excellente, vert profond, pas de carence visible, pas de burn, pas de pest. La plante secondaire est plus petite mais suit bien. Clones toujours très sains. - Zéro signe de stress, plantes en pleine forme et concentrées sur le remplissage floral. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse 18-22 mars) - **Température jour** : 23-25 °C (cible actuelle 23-25, leaf temp ~24-27) - **Température nuit** : 18-20 °C (cible 18-20) - **Humidité jour** : 64-74 % → baisse progressive vers 60-70 en fin de semaine - **Humidité nuit** : 49-59 % - **VPD** : 0.8-1.2 kPa jour/nuit (stable et optimal pour bulking) - **PPFD moyen** : ~733-750 (max ~814) → DLI ~32 mol/m²/jour (parfait) - **UV** : 45 min/jour (prévu +45 min en semaine 6) - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour (non mesuré précisément mais actif) - **EC solution** : 2.6-2.95 mS/cm (baisse légère récente à 2.6) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (runoff 5.8-6.2) - **Irrigation** : Fréquente, runoff 20-30 % quotidien - **Steering** : Végétatif (confirmé) - **Night dryback** : 8-12 % (très contrôlé) ### Problèmes et Ajustements Aucun problème majeur. - Légère baisse EC feed (de ~3.0-3.4 → 2.6) : volontaire pour éviter accumulation en coco pendant le pic de bulking. - Température jour un peu haute par moments (25-27 leaf) → surveiller pour éviter stretch résiduel ou transpiration excessive. - UV à 45 min → bonne montée prévue semaine 6. ### Plans pour la Semaine 6 - Continuer steering végétatif + possible petit pic EC/PK si buds semblent ralentir. - Augmenter UV à 90 min/jour. - Légère défoliation sélective (feuilles qui bloquent vraiment la lumière sur buds inférieurs). - Photos rapprochées pour suivre trichomes et gonflement. - Préparer clones mères si sélection finale. Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds prennent vraiment du volume maintenant, la plante dominante est impressionnante à 1m50 et les premiers trichomes visibles → ça sent le gros rendement qui arrive ! 🌱✨

Empezamos con esta Amnesia Haze Automatic de Royal Queen Seeds de las cuales tengo muy buenas referencias 👌 La germinación fué sin problemas y bastante rapida 🔥 Hemos metido la raiz en un sustrato de Bloom mix y hemos apñicado Atami Root-C para un sistema radicular rapido y fuerte 💪

Lumatek - 75% , Totally untrained! I try with defoliation, light intensity and distance from plant's top to make a flat canopy. Thanks for watching my dairy!

plants looking healthy, run off ph still in the 4-5 range

Bene continua a crescere super bien......il cerbero sta andando verso la maturazione 👍.continua così bella gustosa terapia mia 😉🤤

EDIT: I just harvested my dwarfs and I better harvest my AK's next week!!! It was sunny af and i couldnt make better pics in that case. It has it reasons. Making this diary cost me time and power, hope you like it. Do you think its ok when i harvest the dwarfs in 2 or 3 days, i hope it buds grow cause the buds are small from my Dwarfs. My AK's have nice buds , you think i can harvest my AK's together with my Dwarfs or better wait?
