Another week has passed and this lady seems to have recovered from last week's sudden problems. I just kept feeding with clear water, I suspect low PH and my solution fixed it. I also raised the light a little more, this SP 3000 is a true beast of a light, and especially the Kush in the middle couldn't handle it that well. Thank you @MarsHydroLED I did some final defoliating, only bundled up leaves and leaves covering major bud sites. This Orange Hill Special is something else though, Im happy to grow this, she is pretty and sophisticated in all, almost majestic. The buds are speckled with orange hairs, the shape of each like a round ball of ice cream. She was pretty from seedling on and looking back, I would have loved some offspring of this pheno. She is a thrill and no signs of male parts on this one, although it can happen with this strain. So glad I have some more seeds and cant wait to put a tentful of this. Don't let its low score dissuade you, yes there is a chance she hermies but when she doesn't my my my... Check em out here @DutchPassion_Official She smells of orange and tangerine with a very strong hazy undertone. This combination promises a great smoke and frankly, I cant wait. Thanks for reading up on me and thank you for the comments and likes again! Hug Bud

🌿 Pink Rozay x Strawberry Banana Auto - Fresh Frozen Dry Ice Extraction! ❄️🍓💨 Let's get it rolling! What is up, GrowDiaries fam? We reached the finish line with the Pink Rozay x Strawberry Banana Auto, but we took a slightly different route for this harvest. Instead of the standard dry and cure, we went straight to the deep freeze for a live plant extraction! 📈 The Details / Progress Report: Fresh Frozen Harvest: We chopped her down and immediately froze the live plant material to lock in those volatile terpenes. You can see the frosty, deep green nugs mixed right in with the dry ice pellets. Dry Ice Extraction: Dropping temps to sub-zero! I tossed the fresh frozen buds directly onto the extraction tray with chunks of dry ice to freeze those trichome heads so they snap right off the stalks, which you can see prepped. This method is incredible for preserving that fresh, live-plant flavor profile I'm always chasing when producing my solventless terpene extracts. The Yield Preview: Inspecting the frozen nugs with the black extraction gloves, you can see how perfectly preserved the structure and resin glands remain before the agitation begins. 💧 Next Steps: Now we agitate and sift! The extreme cold from the dry ice will make those trichomes brittle enough to break away cleanly. We'll collect that fresh frozen bubble hash, dry it out properly, and then it is straight to the rosin press to see what kind of golden terpene profile we can squeeze out of this Strawberry Banana cross. 👇 Question for the community: When you guys run fresh frozen material, do you prefer washing it in water for traditional ice water bubble hash, or do you lean toward the dry ice method for a quicker return? Let me know your extraction preferences in the comments! She was an absolute beauty to grow, and she is going to make some incredible hash! Let's keep it growing! 🌱💨

Day 65, 17th of November 2020: Welcome back at the beggining of the 3rd week of flowering. They seem to be stopped streching and now concentrating on buds. All of them are gorgeous..... The 2 Zamnesia genetics Gelato and Kalini Asia are pretty and buds are forming nicely. Kalini Asia might strech a bit more but not long. The Sweet Seed ones are really nice and I am so happy because Red Hot Cookies is already getting red.... pistils and around the leaves.. I hope the same happens to the Red Mandarine and Tropicanna Poison also. They are so gorgeous. They calmed down I don't expect more strech. Fertilization still the same every 2nd day with the ratio and mix above. Some lollipopping (Defoliation) is also done. I removed all the LST the plant remains in the same shape from now. The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

Arrosage a l'eau uniquement.

Day 17F-24F (Day 19) Man it’s such a shame that bbb#1 stunted out. It was so damn vigorous until it’s most recent feeding. I will make sure to cut back on teas next round as they can be a wild card sometimes. All 5 plants are packing on some serious early frost. But I’m not seeing too much chunk to the buds yet. My other grow that was flipped on the same day has almost no frost yet so that’s a good sign. (Day 21) Big strip today. I will pull off as many leaves as I need to ensure nearly all bud sites are exposed to adequate light. I’m still seeing excess N so I’m going to water in 2 gallons each until I get some runoff. The plants seem to be up taking water pretty decently so I’m going to push it a little with a heavier watering. Wow do the plants look amazing after that strip and flush! Everything is praying up beautifully, including #3 in the back. Let’s hope that gets it back on track now. (Day 22) I want to give a PK boost but all my bloom nutrients have way too much N and I don’t really want to risk it toxing anymore. I could give it a little bit of 0-18-0 bat guano and some 0-0-15 kelp extract but it could be completely unnecessary. I can’t see any signs of deficiencies but a small surplus couldn’t hurt either. (Day 23) I like how the ladies responded to the thorough watering. I will up my watering to 1 gallon every 48 hours from now on. It sucks to see how short bbb#1 is. I was expecting such a huge stretch but it never came because of that fucking tea! I should have leached the medium as soon as I saw stunting. It’s too bad because it definitely had the most potential for yield. (Day 24) I’m starting to think the main problem with bud size this round is all the topping I did early on. Not to mention they were vegging for nearly 3 months. I will try to pick off most of the larf before it wastes anymore energy. I think the ideal style of growing for bud size and veg time is a semi sea of green, or 6-8 plants per 25 square feet. I’m not a big fan of these giant plants as it’s a lot of wasted veg time and smaller bud size overall. The smell is really ramping up!

So far all is well. Left plant is looking great still. Right plant is still the same as it was, kinda "off." I cut the top off the main cola due to light burn. There's just no way that the plants energy it was directing to it was being used well. I'd rather it go to the rest of the plant because there's just no way that initial top was going to produce anything. It was gnarled. I've also noticed something odd going on with a couple of the buds on the stressed (purple) plant. I posted one of the pics in the pics for this weeks update. Looks kinda like bud rot to me but this is also my first grow so I could be wrong. It looks like it's only affecting the pistils. I may ask a question in the question forum just to be sure. It's odd though because conditions in the tent seem to be too dry maybe for bud rot (averaging in the 50-60% RH range and there is plenty of air circulation in that part of the tent. I'm thinking it could either be the plant negatively reacting to me cutting the main top off the other day or it's just the fact that due to the plant being stressed out for the entire grow that it's lost resistance to things like bud rot, etc.. essentially, I'm not sure at all lol.. Both plants are already showing a good amount of trichome production as the plants have almost switched from stretch flowering phase to pure on flowering/bulking phase. I can't wait to see the buds really start to mature and grow and get stinky. Carbon filter so far is working flawlessly. A week ago I was thinking it wasn't keeping up because when I'd come home from work I could smell pot but it turns out it was just my cannabutter supplies that I left out lol. D'oh. I've also been monitoring conditions in my basement over the past few weeks and have noticed that rain or no rain, the conditions down there are an average 66 degrees and 60-64% RH. With my dehumidifier if the conditions down there remain in that range, I should be able to achieve perfectly optimal drying conditions for when I harvest in 4-6 weeks or so. :) I am having a blast so far and can't wait to harvest and then really apply what I've learned online from youtube, here and reddit combined with my hands on experience from this grow to really fill out the canopy next time and also ensure both plants are the same height for some great yield. I'll probably mainline 2-3 plants for my next grow. I also want to eventually get into building my own soil and amendments but for now I'm just focusing on not learning & applying too many things at once. I just know that at some time I'd like to switch from synthetic nutrients to organic. I'm hooked for life to growing though!

Les branche se sont bien développée.

Day 12-07/05/22 everything looking good so far will start to give them Biobizz bloom tomorrow

End of week 2 flower. I moved her into the larger grow space & she is HAPPY!!! Stacking up nicely and taking over the new space. She smells wonderful.

This girl was too bushy, I had to defoliate twice during the veg due to lack of space in my grow room. believe me, she is big!

Hey y'all - this is the exciting one for me, this year - I'm submitting the buds from these plants to the 4Plants Cannabis Cup in November, wish me luck! I'm in the amateur medical category, growing one of my favourite strains, it's exciting! Hope you enjoy the video, I'm just a doofy guy growing some dope, hoping it's, um, dope! Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions or comments 🙏

Banana frosting still looks like shit. Just going to keep going and hope it gets better, again, not much I can do. Mandarin punch is looking amazing. Giving about 200ml of water every 2-3 days, no nutrients in either pot. Going to start LST but not sure what to do or if it’s ready yet. They get sunlight (through the window) from 8-12pm, then under the LED

Nothing special to report. Started with bloom nutrients. Everything going fine I noticed from the start this will take more than 10 weeks. Curious how long they will exactly take to be ready. Happy holidays!

Que pasa familia, venimos de nuevo ,actualizamos otra semana de floración y es que nuestras crazy cookies están cogiendo un tamaño colosal, todavía escupen flores, seguiremos abonando con advanced nutrients con el ph regulado correctamente, bajamos algo más la humedad prefiero que a esta altura ya no supere el 40%. Hemos hecho una limpia de hojas bajeras y la luz ya asoma por todas las partes de la planta. Ya hasta la semana que viene suficiente, un saludo para todos los fumetillas.

This girl is stacking nicely looks like she's gonna need another round of defoliating starting to get sweet smell to her trichomes really starting to get heavy even covering fan leaves pistols starting to turn she drinks a gallon of water every other day gonna cut the nutes down in a week running 6.2 pH lights at 100 percent looks like adding the little bit of extra calmag worked cause she has no spots not a lot of burnt tips nice thick stalk and knuckles under canopy lighting is rocking as you can tell by the fat little colas at the bottom really loving this under canopy light so here's to another week of growing lfg

Week 10 and the plant is growing nice buds. The smell is still pretty weak. Tons of white hairs and looks like the buds still need to bulk up a bit. The lower fan leafs are turning yellow. Since I had to flush the plant I kinda hit it hard with nuts feeding it on a straight water day which I usually wouldn’t do. That may have caused some nutrient burn since I see some burnt tips but over all the plant is looking great.

This week went well I gave 1 cup of water per plant ph to 6.7 ocean Forrest will feed them for 2 weeks to a month (the soil there in)
