2024-11-27 to 2024-12-03 Our weather is unusual, as with most places these days. In Missouri, November and December have low RH and rainfall amounts. That is not the case, this year, and we are seeing heavier than average rainfall, creating higher RH levels, but our temps are cycling normally, between 30 and 65 degrees - average for Missouri this time of year, but there are have been some drops into the teens. Since my grow is nearly all manual, I am spending more time turning the heat on and off, and closely monitoring the humidity to try and keep my internal environments around 50% or lower RH. 11-29 Day 20/74 Bottom feeding of .5 gal each 12-02 Day 23/77 Defoliate and lollypop bottom 1/3

Day 43 - Starting week 7 today and this will be the first full week of flower. I gave her the first dose of flower nutes yesterday and all seems well. She’s been stretching over and inch every day the past couple days so looking forward to her stretching to stop and her starting to pack on the flowers. Day 44 - Nothing to really speak of today, she’s still doing her stretch. Just really took her out for some updated pictures and to give her a once over/tuck some leaves. Day 47 - All is going well and she’s still doing a bit of stretching but all the bud sites are starting to fill in a bit now. The soil was starting to get dry so she got 2 full gallons of plain water today. She doesn’t look like she’ll need much defoliating, she’s not a very leafy girl so most likely I’ll just let her go. Day 48 - All is going well and she’s starting to get a bit of frost going now so looking forward to seeing what kind of smell she’ll put out. I did remove a couple bigger fan leaves from the top today but just tucked everything else. Day 49 - The end of week 7 for this girl and looking like her stretching is slowing down a bit, only a little over a half an inch the last 24 hours. On the other hand the frost is really starting to come out on her and looking forward to seeing everything fill in.

OMFKG!!!!!! I've been vía for a few weeks and this doll has exploded! 💣💣💣💣 I've never seen such a big growth in all this time! "My preparation with hydroponic cultivation is paying off the hours of study." ...unfortunately his mastodons have given him some small burns... but I'll know how to get it back.

4. Woche Alle Ladys wurden 3x getoppt, jetzt mache ich eigentlich nicht mehr viel, nur noch bisschen in Form bringen und dann dürfen die Ladys wachsen, wie sie wollen 😁

02.11.'24 After 5 days of drying, this little girl who was a little bigger than a meter gave 950 grams and a little bit of popcorn...this picking was 870 and a little bit of popcorn, and 4-5 weeks ago during a storm, one branch broke, which yielded about 100, but let's say 80 for sure, a total of 950 grams of beautiful, huge, potent buds

It’s time for the flush to begin. This lady has been a pleasure to grow. Although I ran into a few bumps but it happens. Not much I can do about it. It’s life. Thanks for stopping by. 🙏🏼🙌🏽

The leaves on my plants are starting to fold up like a taco, some yellowing.. Not too sure what is going on. My friend suggested that it was a calcium or magnesium deficiency and it matches the description online but I usually give 3 or 4 ml per gallon damn near every time i water, is that enough or too much even? They are 5 weeks from seed today and all 3 are flowing very different and at a different pace..

WEEK 13 - FLOWERING: Late Flowering Phase ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS The Monster Maker has officially entered Week 9 of flower. The plant is in the middle of a perfect final "fade," with leaves turning deep purple and yellow as she exhausts her internal nutrient stores. Resin production is at its absolute peak—the buds are rock hard and completely over-wintered with milky trichomes. We are seeing the first few amber heads appearing, signaling that harvest is just around the corner. ​👃 TERPENES & AROMA The aroma remains incredibly potent. The dominant scent is a sweet, ripe tangerine, which is layered over a heavy, earthy, and slightly spicy base. It’s a very complex profile that has only become more refined during this final week. ​🌡️ ENVIRONMENT & VPD Conditions are being kept stable for the finish. Current readings show 24.8°C and 46% humidity, which keeps the VPD at a solid 1.65 kPa. This environment ensures the resin stays fresh and the dense buds remain safe from any moisture issues during the final days. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING The flush is in full swing! I started using only plain, pH-regulated water on Thursday (2nd April). She is reacting perfectly to the water-only diet, pushing out the last of her resin while cleaning out all residual nutrients for a superior taste and clean burn. ​Current Feeding: Pure Water Only (Flush in progress since April 2nd) ~~ Citric acid (1.2 ml/l) ~~ ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE Week 13 (Flower Week 9). We are watching a masterpiece finish. The trichome coverage is insane, and the fruity-meets-earthy scent is a dream. I am monitoring the amber count daily now. We are looking for that perfect window to chop within the next 7-10 days. The excitement is real!

The girls are fully in flower this week which of course is a GREAT sight to see when opening the tent. The smell in the tent is so sweet and fruity it's already making your mouth water!! So this week I feed the girls with a little of the living soil veg so they are still getting a helping hand. They were also given the living soil bloom and some barley which I will admit is the first time using it but so far me plus the girls are very much enjoying!! I have done the necessary light de-foliating on all 4 girls over the past 2 weeks and more LST. Happy toking guys and girls!! Will keep you all posted with more videos through the week so please keep checking back 🙂

Just a couple days to finish.. will update with dry bud pics and weights then. Stay tuned!

Day 85 - first day of Week 13 and she is going into darkness for 48 hours. Hasn't been watered since 2 days. Even though she looks the least done of all three, her trichomes are now a good 20-30% amber with the rest milky and some tiny bits of clear. I checked her buds on the calyx all around, from top buds to middle to bottom. She really shows a lot of heavily swolen calyxes, which I have never seen like that. I can now add that to the things I learned/experienced: calyxes swell a lot before the plant is finished. Let's see. My Girl Scout Cookies does not look like she even has calyxes. Funny individuals. Happy wedding cake day, almost 😍 Day 88 - out of darkness. She was in there for 2,5 days. Opening the drying tent she gave off a really strong smell of hash 😍wow. She has some nice looking buds and looks def. more done, but below her dress, she has some light fluffy buds. I have hung all of them now in the dry tent, after I removed some of the bigger fan leaves. One part of it, I think I want to low and slow dry in the fridge. I am interested in finding out about the difference in taste, when a more wholesome profile is retained. For anyone interested, I can highly recommend this forum and this article: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/drziggys-low-and-slow-drying-maximizing-your-harvest.366783 Another part I would like to use for fresh cut oil, also from here: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/ As with everything else, I was obsessing about the perfect dry room & conditions. I bought a small tent (40x40cm), a small oszillating fan hung over the buds/on top of the tent. Due to size limitations, I have the filter on the bottom with the duct leaving the tent at the bottom connecting to an exhaust fan. Inside the tent I have a humidity sensor from an Inkbird Humidity regulator. Connected to that is a mini-dehumidifer and a humidifier. I have set it to 20°C (68F) and 50-55% humidity. I'm excited to see how long my dry will last this time. My first grow was drying way too fast in the middle of the heat wave last year with 30% humidity. The overview added to the pictures, I started making over Christmas. It was when I noticed, that I'm a so impatient, and that something must be wrong, especially in the first weeks. I get so obsessive, that I tend to overcare. Which she showcases beautifully in this overview. I hope this will calm me down the next time. Oh my haha Let's see what the final dry weight is. My guess is about 25-35g. Any other guesses? Happy Wedding Cake day 😇

Heute haben wir unsere Pflanzen umgetopft. Ganz so reibungslos wie gedacht lief es zwar nicht, und einige sahen danach erstmal etwas mitgenommen aus, aber das gehört beim Growing einfach dazu. Die Wurzeln mussten sich an die neue Erde und den größeren Topf gewöhnen, deshalb wirken manche Pflanzen jetzt noch etwas gestresst. Wichtig ist jetzt vor allem, ihnen Ruhe zu geben, nicht zu viel zu gießen und die nächsten Tage genau zu beobachten. Trotzdem bin ich optimistisch, dass sie sich schnell erholen werden. Oft brauchen die Pflanzen nach dem Umtopfen einfach ein wenig Zeit, bevor sie wieder richtig Gas geben. Mit guter Pflege, stabilem Licht und den passenden Bedingungen sollten sie bald wieder kräftig wachsen und gesünder aussehen. Am Ende zählt Geduld, denn genau die macht oft den Unterschied zwischen Stress und einem erfolgreichen Grow. Jeder, der schon mal gegrowt hat, kennt diese Momente, in denen man denkt: „Oh man, hoffentlich packen sie das.“ Und ein paar Tage später stehen die Damen wieder stolz da, als wäre nie etwas gewesen. Pflanzen sind manchmal kleine Dramenköniginnen – aber auch verdammt widerstandsfähig. 🌱 Jetzt heißt es erstmal entspannen, die Natur ihren Job machen lassen und positiv bleiben. Das wird schon wieder, da bin ich mir sicher. Lasst es krachen :-)

Apart refilling the reservoir more frequently, it’s the same as usual some tea

Final push for this now. Gave her a nigh flush with 30 litres and started her in the dragons force with some sumo boost. Gonna try get another feed into her then start final flush. Plenty ambers now so should be loolimg goodbye by end of next week for the final round. Smells amazing. Still that bubblegum type smell but it's getting more pungent. Buds are a bit light and fluffly they might sense up a bit over the last stretch but I'm no thanks too sure Yano. Will see how it goes. All good though 👌🏻
