These girls are getting close to harvest. Calyx closed & swelling up, most of the pistills turned orange/brown & are starting to curl in. Waiting on delivery of a new 60× microscope to check the trichomes , buds are very frosty. Have stopped feeding nutrients & have started flushing with plain ph'd water. Then reduced watering to twice a day so there not taking in as much moisture before harvest. Probably starve them of water completely for a couple of days to bring out more moisture, & apparently THC. A lot of smell about them. Very sticky!

Nice broad growth, it trains itself very nicely after some topping. I'll have to transplant & start LST very soon. I topped every bud site on every plant, both indoors & outdoors.

Lovely to smoke. With a great weight given the set back with nute lock. Which Is the downfall to this run. Because this happened In last 3weeks which certainly resulted in small buds. However I am totally pleased with final weight and smoke from.this girl. Xx

Clones are coming around they was shocked being up in Maine we had a light out for 3 days got too 40° in the cloner etcetc sooo trying to get them to root just gave them some clonex ✌️

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Day 35 Gave her a flush and fresh nutrients. Added a little maxibloom. Switched lights to 12/12. Nutrients per gallon .5 tsp maxigro .25 tsp maxibloom .25 tsp armor si .5 tsp calimagic .1 tsp 90/10 humic/fulvic acid

Week 5🌸 done, first day of week 6 They are developing beautifully Studio & Rainbow Gelato are heavy stinkers - sweet + gassy It seems like Bruce Banner in the back could get more feeding Will up the volume of water a little in the following week I take out a few leafes here and there, don’t seem to stress them a bit At nighttime it gets pretty cold, 16/17 degrees so some of the pistils tops (Blütenstempel) are getting dark

No huge changes. GPA Cookies are still growing albeit slowly due to the cold. I hope it starts picking up soon. HUGE defoliation on the Chocolate Skunk clone. This girl is responding very well. Money Maker is just doing its thing! I didn’t expect much from this plant, but that just means it has no pressure and can take its time!

Wow what a strain! The flowers are absolutely caked with trichs, making the flowers look heavily frosted. The smell is pungent and pretty dank smelling. The taste I find to be pretty mild. Where this strain stands out is the very powerful punch it packs! WOW lol this one will have you staring at a blank tv screen for 30 minutes before you remember what you were doing lol no complaints on this strain, have it growing again this run too! Thanks for following along!!! On to the next one!

I'm sorry for the poor journal upkeep. I kind of fell off keeping track of things as I had more and more responsibilities at home come up. I ended up harvesting 4 of my first five plants about two weeks ago. These have been curing in my smaller grow tent on an air rack. At almost three weeks cure they are already getting nice and crispy and starting to really gain their smell back. I've been pinching smaller sizes nugs to check on flavor and quality throughout the cure process. My fifth plant that was ready about a week or so after those first four I cut down and have curing on the same rack as well. Since the buds seem to be drying so well on the rack I'm wondering whether I should even put them in jars at this point until I need more room on my racks. My three purples which I believe are all the LSD-25 phenos, are also about ready to harvest for cure any day now as well. I'm attempting to add all the pictures and videos and micros as soon as possible. I often encounter a lot of problems uploading anything for my weekly updates.

Volvimos, pensé que la iba a perder y estaba un poco desanimado, solo era cuestión de esperar

I made a concoction of living soil using ingredients I could find of subcools formula. Theoretically all i need to add is ph balanced water. And a tea once I decide to flower. I'm waiting for some gadgets[ph and moisture meters]to come in before doing any extensive watering.

Die Vollendung Bis zur Ernte zeigt sich die Dancing Sprite (Seeds of Anarchy / Wunderbohnen) in ihrer ganzen majestätischen Pracht; die dunklen Blätter bilden einen harten Kontrast zu den hellen, fast weiß wirkenden Blütenköpfen. Die schwere Last der massiven Buds wird bis zur letzten Sekunde durch die installierten Stützen gesichert, während das "runtzige" Aroma seine maximale Intensität erreicht hat. Mit dem Tag der Ernte endet ein faszinierender Durchgang, bei dem die Pflanze durchgehend mit ihrer Vitalität und einer extremen Harzschicht überzeugt hat. Es ist Zeit, diese erstklassige Qualität in die Trocknung zu überführen und Platz für neue Projekte zu schaffen.

Friday is Highday… One Week to go Here are some expressions of my Grow. Except the drying I think there’s nothing that could go wrong now. This Week I only pour water to the plant. The next days no more water for the lady’s so they absorb the last nutrients from the soil Nice Weekend 👌🏻 ElGrowLab🍀

¡Primer día de cambio de fotoperiodo y mis pequeñas están listas para brillar! 🌟💚 Con el inicio de esta nueva etapa, estoy emocionado de ver cómo se desenvuelven mis Moby Dick de @kannabiaglobal en su fase de floración. ¡Que la luz les guíe hacia un crecimiento exuberante y lleno de flores! 🌿🌸 FloraciónEnMarcha KannabiaBloom GreenGrowthJourney

This was my very first grow ever, so it's hard for me to judge how it went, but I definitely think I made a few mistakes along the way. I didn't feed her much, and I probably ran into some pH issues too. The roots eventually reached the bottom reservoir, and I kept topping it up with unpHed tap water, so she kind of ended up transitioning into a semi-hydro setup without me really planning for it. I only had an airstone in the reservoir that was turning on/off every 15 minutes. I harvested her on day 97 and dried her in the same tent at around 60% humidity. Unfortunately, I had no way to bring the temperature down to around 15°C, it stayed between 21–24°C the whole time. After about 10 days, she was already dry. I could still smell a bit of that fresh-cut grass scent, so I'm guessing I may have lost some terps during drying. I trimmed her as best as I could, and the final dry weight came out to 138 grams. She’s curing now in glass jars, and I added a small humidity meter inside. So far it’s holding steady at 62%.

JUST HARVESTED 😍 With my friend's help, we took around 2 hours to cut her down, and hang her. I believe I took her a little bit early, but it's still great timing. I loved the process, I just hate waiting for last days :)

nice strain with a rich terpene profile! sweet, gelato like, hard hitting smoke! sadly my phenos had no banana taste but still very nice
