Karels Herer Haze – The Final Fade & Hash Prep! 🌿? As we approach the finish line for the main tent, a decision had to be made for this "nice-to-have" Sativa side-project. While her Haze genetics mean she could technically run for another two to three weeks, space constraints dictate that she will join the big harvest party in about 5 to 7 days! Current Parameters & Adjustments: Nutrients (EC): Dropped aggressively down to 0.5 (running a very minimal flush mix of Cleanse, CalMag, Grow A+B, and PK). The Flush Effect: Because of this low EC, she is entering a heavy senescence. She is pulling all remaining mobile nutrients straight from her large fan leaves, showing off some massive, aggressive autumn fades. The Master Plan (Dry Ice Hash): Checking the macro shots, her trichomes are currently sitting right in that clear-to-milky window. While the buds have that typical, airy, and leafy Sativa structure (which would normally be a nightmare to trim), they are absolutely perfect for our upcoming extraction project. Since the trichomes are very exposed on the sugar leaves, they will break off beautifully during the Dry Ice Hash run. Harvesting her at this slightly earlier stage will also guarantee an incredibly clear, energetic, and soaring Sativa head-high from the final hash. Next stop: Chop day and getting the shaker bags ready! ✂️❄️

UPDATE mid week spoted smnth on the soil that turned out to be a polinator. When inspected the plant found them all over. Especialy in the lower btanches. But on mostly all of branches, they are blendong in with lower buds very tight making them hard to clear. I belive there still some left. And most probably they are going to keem emerging. 3rd week of flowering - looks good. Hairy and even a bit frosty already. I was wrong about water consumprion. Although I managed to put 2 liters at a time and the fabric pot held it, it was too much, the soil was wet for around 4 days. And the humidity in my 50 by 50 cm 1 meter high tent was 99%. So wattering back to 1 liter each second day, just right. Starting to think that maybe in couple of weeks I will need to remove some fan leaves as it realy is quite bushy and when buds will start to swell and get dencier I will need to addres humidity concearns

Streckung fast durch, jetzt kommt die erste Schwellung. Klingt auf englisch mit Stretch und Swell/Bulk zwar fancy... Habe noch ein paar Äste mehr geknickt, damit sie nicht so hoch wird... ihre 2 Wochen spätere Schwester wird sie sicher auch überholen... aber die hat noch ne Woche bis zum Brechen der Beine. Omg fieser Pimp könnte man meinen... Update: Bricht mir doch tatsächlich der Haupttrieb beim umtopfen ab... grrr. Shit happens. Hinterher erinnere ich mich eh nicht mehr dran ;)

Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened. To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers. No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary. Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite. As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now. Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along. As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space. I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night. My tea recipe: Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons I bubble that with added minerals for a day Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea) I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology. Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes. Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional. What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow. Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

Day 57 from seed and these BCN’s are smelling the best so far. Very citrusy smell! I think this is my last week of feeding these girls, and straight to flushing the plants next week. Im going to give them an extra week or two and see how it goes!

Start of week 6 flower. She’s pretty much on cruise control. Did a light defoliation, probably the last one until harvest. Noticed my ph pen has slightly been off and I’ve been slightly alkaline in my solution. Recalibrated and hit er with a heavy feeding and her normal but also added some cronk nutrients this week just to see if she responds. Overall, she’s starting to get funky, sugar leaves are sticky and really smelling of fruit loops. See ya next week

Al inicio de la semana fueron sacadas fuera del armario al quedarnos sin luz por el apagón , posiblemente hizo que las plantas crecieran o se estirasen un poco más de lo que venían haciendo. Esta semana ya se notó claramente el inicio de flora y las plantas coparon bien todo el espacio, casi que no cabe ya ni un alfiler. En pocos dias, 11-12 dias realizaré una poda de bajos de todas las secundarias, hojas yemas y ramas y así queden listas para terminar de florecer. D9 foliar 14 dias pequeña poda de algunas ramitas bajeras , las primeras . Muy poquito para no estresarlas mucho y en una semana , con 21 dias a 12/12h. terminaré de vaciar lo que quede.

These 2 are growing amazing, especially plant 1 is doing great. I've had the humidity on about 40% for most of the time since I have another flowering auto in the tent but these don't seem to mind. I've also had them on about 400umol/m2/s

I'm not going to put in daily updates for this week. It was a slow week but I will highlight the following - Watered every other day - Fed twice this week according to Fox Farm feeding schedule - Checked trichomes on day 62 because Sour Stomper is usually a quick grow. Seems we're a ways off still. **** I also put up a video for day 60. You can see how crazy looking the Sour Stomper is. The entire top of the plant is bud with tiny leaves. It's turned into a mutant bush. The good news is that the buds are starting to thicken up on the bottom. ****

Sono un po’ in ritardo ma posso già commentare questi boccioli di Gorilla Cookies FF perché sono già stati trimmati e puliti per essere curati in barattoli di vetro. Non ho avuto particolari problemi nel crescere queste ragazze, l’unica cosa che purtroppo non ho potuto mantenere sotto controllo era la temperatura che nelle ultime settimane era arrivata quasi a 30ºC :-/ e questo non è stato di aiuto alle piante a cui ovviamente non piace stare sotto queste temperature di continuo…nonostante questo e alla poca compattezza dei fiori sono super contento del gusto e dell’odore che ricordano tanto i terpeni della Calypso Sun Rock di Anesia Seeds, sarà che ho trovato un fenotipo che condivideva gli stessi geni con cui sono imparentate entrambe! Inoltre è stata la prima volta che ho avuto il piacere di utilizzare il super soil di Dogma Organics che sicuramente ha esaltato al massimo le particolarità della pianta e confermo che la differenza si sente, le piante crescono a meraviglia con struttura solida e zero carenze di nessun tipo se si usa con giuste quantità e tempi sia il top dress che le giuste quantità di acqua che dovrebbe sempre essere la cosa più importante dove bisogna imparare a capire i bisogni in base allo stadio di crescita…in più ho condiviso alcune foto del mio giardino di quest’anno :)) Fast Buds super consigliato genetiche ottime e selezioni veramente interessanti

Week 1 has started off well. The seedlings got planted with only one having a long tap. The all day 1 cloudy, drizzly, wet weather allowed for the taps to run without the top of the soil drying out. The outdoors game is real. Grasshoppers are already trying to take these out. Several were killed hanging on the outside of the pot this morning(day 3). I suspected the grasshoppers were nibbling on these but it turned out to be pharaoh ants. I found some slowly dying beside the plants. The Dr. Earth Bug Stop worked. They got sprayed at sundown and apparently the ants attack at night or early morning. They were barely moving and dying at 7.45 am. Pharoah ants are plant terrorists. They can nest up to 100ft away from where they feed and once they find a food source they are determined to eat it. I'm staying organic and trying to stop these guys but here on day 5 they've eaten some more including the seed leaves off of some Peach Crescendo seedlings. It's day 6 and I think I've beat the pharaoh ants. I had to spray liquid seven on the ground in a circle around the plants. Day 6 and no more of the plants were eaten. Overall it was a good week. Everyone survived the rigors of the great outdoors and are digging deep for next week.

At the original Afghan kush the first multi-fingered leaf grew, I would really like to experiment and top one of these plants, but I wait for the guinea pig to make at least one more row of leaves, the guinea pig will probably be a plant from number 1 to number 8, in fact I ask you all, in your opinion which plant is better to top? Number 9 I exclude because I see her as frail. Update day 3 i thinking the training i can do when i smoke my pipe and see the plant, low stress training and topping, topping or lst? This in the problema🤣🤣😭 Number 7 as frail She Is the new sleapy of the diary ,Number 9 Is so good , most than the day 1 when She as frail Finally i do topping Number 2 and Number 6 , before i do lst to Number 6 Wheater report Day 1: Cloud Day2 Sunny and cloud Day 3 Rain the evening ,Sunny the morning.....
