September 25 > Harvest at dawn for the big girl. The usual routine... except I shot a time-lapse video this time to play with the camera I won last year. Clipped the top buds first - then the base. Took me 2 hours to wash all that -rinse - repeat. ---------------------------------------- Well this was an interesting summer with this pair of girls. I learned that I don't really need a container larger than 10 gallons in order to grow very large plants (in my neck of the woods anyway). Now when I say large I mean how much space they take up on my patio. I'm allowed to grow 6 legally but 4 eats up pretty much the whole patio. And the reality is I don't need to grow plants that large. The outdoor yield will last well into next year for me and everybody I know. So next summer I plan to do much more serious pruning to limit the scope and shape of the girls I grow outdoors. I also learned that I don't need an inverted tomato cage style support if my container is larger than 5 gallons. The Durban I grew last summer was in a 5 gallon container and there's not enough weight in there to keep her grounded. Once up to 10 gallons you won't want to lift the container much and there's enough weight in there to keep things stable. At the moment I've listed 450g as a dry weight for both plants (updated to 458g final). I haven't actually weighed the 2nd plant yet and won't even trim her for about a week or so (I'll be back to update diary). The first girl came in at 235 grams. I got pretty ruthless throwing away small budlets and trim this morning as it took me 4 hours to take this big girl down and wash her up. That's only because I spent half a day yesterday trimming Cream & Cheese and moving Northern Lights around... and it's been over 95 degrees both days... so I'm ready for a rest. Cannabis harvesting is not easy labor. Diary note > There was a software malfunction a week or so back and I was unable to add a new flowering week, whereupon it was determined there was a limit of 26 weeks at that time... so I didn't add any more weeks after that until the harvest week. When I added the harvest week, it appears the malfunction had been corrected because I COULD HAVE added a new flowering week at that time. I think there's only a week missing. Differences can be noted with dates on the photos. If I had a problem this summer it's because I was too anxious to get going after a long winter nursing shoulder surgery and I didn't pay proper attention to the lighting ramifications when the instructions were there for me, and subsequently started too early. Next year I plan for an early crop of auto flowers to keep me occupied until the proper time for a regular crop. --------------------------------------- September 30 > Trimming and processing complete. I really manhandled the big girl with the Trimbag, largely because I knew I was gonna have a pound of herb on my hands (way more than I will personally consume) and I wanted to minimize my hand trimming. So when I say manhandled here, I mean I ran it through the process TWICE, using about 40 rotations/spins each time. It probably would have helped to be a tad drier, but we're entering a cool spell now and we've run out of time. Mother Nature has decided to turn off the heater... which has turned my Purple Berry Kush a nice shade of purple... but that's tomorrow mornings's harvest... <sigh>... anyway... where was I... oh yeah... AMNESIA... <hehe> Trimbag generated trim on 1st pass = 217 g Trimbag generated trim on 2nd pass = 90 g Trim generated by hand after that = 186 g Final bud weight for big girl = 223 g Clearly, comparing weight of trim generated by hand vs by the Trimbag here you can see the result of my "manhandling". Little girl was in a 10 gallon pot and generated 235 g buds and 360 g trim. Big girl was in a 15 gallon pot and generated 223 g buds and 493 g trim. Final total bud weight 458 grams for both plants. Hope anybody following along learned something this summer. I did. 😎 The trick is to not make the same mistake twice. That's kinda why we're all here. Kinda. ✊

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana! 🖐️ 👨‍🌾 He comenzado a fumar esta planta y es muy, muy fuerte! Los cogollos están completamente escarchados y sueltan polen por doquier. Los aromas son cítricos con toques de pimienta de Jamaica y tierra de bosque. =========================================- 21 semanas desde que puse la semilla a germinar! 🌱 - 19 semanas desde el trasplante a la maceta final. - 17 semanas desde el corte apical - 13 semanas desde el cambio a horario de floración a 12/12H. - 12 semanas desde que comenzó la floración... 3M 🍨 Green Gelato RIP *08/09/25 †29/01/26 "Tus padres orgullosos: Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies" ========================== Hoy, después de las 12 horas en la carpa de cultivo, saqué la planta al frío del exterior durante unas horas, después, al medio día la saqueé sin contemplaciones. Esta temporada casi todos los cultivos han mostrado crecimiento en modo foxtail. La gran diferencia con otros años ha sido el aumento a 13 horas de luz en las últimas semanas. Probablemente ahí esté el error. Lo pienso ahora, claro, cuando ya es tarde, como hacen los humanos. Lo lógico habría sido justo lo contrario: empezar la floración con 13 horas y terminarla con 12, acompañando de forma más natural el ciclo vital de la planta. No tengo nada en contra de las colas de zorro, pero verlas repetidas en cultivos tan distintos me dejó claro algo importante: las plantas, incluso a esta edad, todavía tenían ganas de seguir creando flores. Eso es bueno. Retrasa la senescencia, mantiene la energía… aunque también retrasa la maduración de los cogollos. Todo tiene su precio. Incluso la vitalidad. La próxima temporada volveré a probar. Ajustaré mejor el fotoperiodo. Bajaré un poco la intensidad lumínica en las últimas semanas. Porque aquí nadie lo sabe todo, y el jardín siempre acaba enseñándome algo, normalmente cuando ya no puedes cambiarlo. 😁 HASTA LA PRÓXIMA.

Will be harvesting today or tomorrow. After one week of flush, I stopped every watering since the start of this week. Now there’s less water inside the pot, and I can definitely feel it by moving it around. Buds are visibly bigger now! See you soon for the final harvest!

Week 1 27/01/2025 TF and MS Feed HydroSol: Increased to 8ml/5L 28/01/2025 TF and MS Light Increased: 313watts DLi: 35 Rapid Growth has started again. Feed Increased: HydroSol 10ml/5L HP 12%: 1ml/5L Uploaded today's pictures and yesterday's for comparison on how HydroSol is doing? I topped MS. Hopefully by doing this now TF will catch up but that's not why I topped her. She's known for being bushy; so will be good to bring her up to her second level before branching. Giving the rate she is growing; we haven't to worry about stunting Growth. H202 is also know to to cause mutations at high levels. I tried to start this diary with HP 12% from seed and it worked until micro-organisms in the air and water; what distillation has missed the "vocs" the cardon didn't catch. Caused them to later on because of free radicals and this is why high levels of HP can cause mutations and cancer when it steals atoms by ripping them apart. "Call the bomb swaddles" when mixed correctly or 'incorrectly 💣 lol 28th Today Little VT of the 5L jerry can starter pots (DiY) I think this process is allowing for optimization of Air/feed pks. I'm at least 2-3weeks ahead from a normal grow because of this style growing. I know, I know, I lost 3weeks from the first failed attempts. But it's okay 👍 I'm okay with that. Now I know and it's logged in the dairy for future reference I can quickly glance over before I start another one. Like hey 👋 "Time is valuable, read ya diaries" honestly, I don't have dementia i have human forgetfulness/error. Its still in the experimentental phase. Took tf out the propagator 31/01/2024 Nothing much to see I've did everything for TF and still looking droopy. Exactly the same as MS. I think she'll grow out of it! 01/02/2025 I know, I know what ya thinking, it looks like spider mites on MS only leaf but honestly I think its of the h202. I deffolled her only leaf. Sprayed it with h202 and no reactions happen. No mites. The Future TF is looking much more lively. Oh well. No speed-run this time round! I shouldn't of took 4wks off from growing. Rhythmic nature of thing and getting in the swing off it. It's easy to do but I am always in two minds with everything I do. I can't help but cause "Self sabotage' every time I get to ahead of myself, by running my mouth 💯 blah blah blah; always beside myself. Aye' they say "God is next to Cleanliness" if that's true it'll be impossible for me to be beside myself haha 😄 Its all fun and games 🎮 🙃 01/02/2025 Midday Light Increased: 560watts (max) for this power supply. I disconnected the 1200watts one for each light is 600watts. It's currently half-power with 600watts max for two lights at 300watts each. Better than having mishaps with the full power supply 1200 being turned up accidently say in a not ventilated enough little tent. I'd rather pass on that anxiety 🙃 Plants: Under jerry cans with dli at 20. This should by dinfintion let them gather themselves for 3days; while the sun is blazing outside the can. Even though I could lower the light. I think the high light intensity outside the cans the plants know. Midday VT MS looks likes shes a clone 😳 👀 but she ain't! One day I will get these protocols right. But atm ; atlas, it's all in jest n fun! MS defiantly looks like a clone but she's not; i have taken pictures since she hatched everyday 03/02/2025 Midday Freaky Pablo and The future 2 germinated Sprayed with weak solution of Hydroclonic Acid + h202 very mild. Now the fun begins!

A breez to grow 450 grams off 5 plants first ever grow red buds throughout the whole grow

It's starting to get better without stopping. After changing the soil in the middle of the pot to peach moss.

Estamos en la primera semana de vegetativo, ya que a la anterior se la conoce como semana de germinación. Las plantas empiezan a mostrar las primeras hojas reales por encima de los cotiledones. Cuidado con que la humedad relativa del aire, no sea demasiado baja, lo ideal sería alrededor de un 65%. En esta etapa solo regamos suavemente con agua cada 5 días aprox. * Una de las plantas no ha crecido correctamente y la doy de baja.

Bueno familia ya finalizamos, estas red hot cookies son una cepa bestial. La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 días en Malla y a los botes, 45% humedad y 23 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado. 4 plantas que se cultivaron en un armario de 1.20 pero estos ejemplares solo ocuparon 80x80. Así que ya está cultivada esta gran variedad que es novedad este 2020, americana de la familia Cookies, la Tropicanna Cookies (Girl Scout Cookies x Tangie) con un porcentaje de thc entre los 17/25%, una bomba. Que decir de Agrobeta, lo peta 💪 en cuanto a nutrientes. Un saludo y buenos humos.

It was really fu doing this grow, it’s my very first grow and it seemed to turn out great. Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

1.12 welcome december! We’re moving close to the harvest line, in a week and a half I’m gonna start checking the tricromes.. i run one last add of nutritions, from now only water until the last day! The sweet zz is smelling great, the amnesia is growing strong and dense, the gorilla glue’s scent is pungent, unique, and the blue berry is growing slowly but very well. I pruned a bit of yellow leaf, now I wait until the harvest, leaving all untouched! 2.12 i added a smol video :3 5.12 they’re maturing very well! Now I’m start monitoring the trichomes! Hoping in a week and a half max I’m gonna dry everything.. soo happy!

I've finally got the drip system up and running, perfect time too because they are definitely drinking more. They are getting fed 4 times a day at 1 minute increments which comes out to about 100 ml per feeding. The plants have really started to take off, roots are coming out of the bottom of the cubes. I just topped all of them so they'll start branching out more. I'm currently running a 600w MH and am starting to deal with heat. 2 weeks ago I ordered a ChilLED Growcraft 600w LED light, I can't wait for it to show up so the heat will drop and I can get back on track with the proper VPD. I also just recently ordered Mammoth P microbes and some silica. Hop you all are enjoying the grow so far.

Frosty !! And Dark ! Going to def regrow under stronger lights

Right back this girl don’t know what to think she’s back to front half of her has been in flower about 2 weeks the other sides just started just hopeing she’s not a dud like most of barneys autoflowers not showing any frost yet so could be getting rid of her will see over the next couple weeks 😤👎

Ztrawberriez mi sta stupendo anche lei..come sempre , complimenti alla banca semi fast buds,che AD oggi trovo da loro le mie genetiche preferite...ma quest'anno proverò altre banche perché ho visto che anche le altre un hanno genetiche valide.....w.w.w.la ganjah 😂😉

Took of the humidity dome sooner than I wanted. I swear it makes em stretch. Also turned up the light! Got get the RH up a bit but these babies are up outta the ground and doing their thing! This will be the first grow that I try to water according to the plant and NOT a schedule, therefore prob wont be watering much this week! __________________________________________ Not much to see, but not much to worry about! Gave em a little water just to get the top layer wet. Being much more patient and calm with these seedlings. 2 of them did stretch more than my liking but it shouldn't matter at all soon.
