Ein intensiver Run geht zu Ende – und bringt viele Erkenntnisse mit sich. Die Phenos hätten kaum unterschiedlicher sein können: Einige hätten vielleicht eine Woche früher runtergemusst, andere hätten draußen noch ein paar Sonnenstrahlen mehr gebraucht. Eine Pflanze haben wir leider teilweise an Budrot verloren, andere haben vermutlich nicht ihr volles Potenzial entfaltet. Trotzdem – oder gerade deswegen – war dieser Grow unglaublich lehrreich. Manche Buds glänzen wie kleine Kunstwerke, andere erzählen Geschichten von Herausforderungen. Jetzt heißt es: alles verarbeiten, vergleichen, verstehen. Die Energie, die jede einzelne Pflanze mitgebracht hat, war einzigartig – dieser Grow hat definitiv Spuren hinterlassen. An intense run comes to an end – packed with valuable lessons. The phenos were wildly different: some could’ve come down a week earlier, others might have wanted a little more sun to fully shine. We sadly lost part of one plant to bud rot, and a few may not have reached their true potential. But maybe that’s what made this grow so special – the variety, the surprises, the learning. Some buds look like divine artwork, others carry the marks of challenge and transformation. Now it’s time to process, reflect, and truly get to know them. Each plant brought its own frequency – and this grow definitely left its mark.

Replaced the dead plants...the male pollens would be collected for future breeding.

Week 7 of Flower This plant is going to be done in about a week or so. She never really filled out like I had hoped but what she lacks in chunk she makes up for in frost. I don’t expect a huge yield but the smell of this plant has me super excited for the end result. Cooler internals; 5.9 pH 350ppm 66 F 😎

Day 36 (Bettis). Just starting to flower. Doing some minor defoliation and supercropping. Very satisfied with her progress. Day 41. Continuing with minor defoliation and supercropping.

Week 11 (10-4 to 16-4) 10-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 52% (lowest) No pictures. Added 10L to the reservoir, and turned it on for a couple of minutes. 11-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 52% (lowest) 12-4 Temperature: 25.5 degrees (lights on) 22 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 57% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. 13-4 Temperature: 26.5 degrees (lights on) 23 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 56% (lowest) 14-4 Temperature: 26.4 degrees (lights on) 22.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 45% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. The reservoir is almost empty, there is 850 ml left. 15-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 49% (lowest) No pictures. 16-4 Temperature: 23.5 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 53% (lowest) Today i defoliated both plants heavily for the last time, you can say i did a method called: schwazzing. Dont know why but while i was defoliating the Chemdog smelled a little bit like soap haha. Turned on the reservoir for a couple of minutes. (Till the AutoPots are full and the valve closes) Rised the pots aswell, so the canopy is very even. I let them recover from the heavy defoliation i did, and next week i will slowly increase the light's strength. (Now still at 50% 50cm)

🌱 : I had to remove 2 colas because of budrot on day 80, but I was able to save 40g wet 💧 : 💡 : Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔 : As a countermeasure, I increased the ventilation as well as the air circulation

First Week of Bluedream

still very messy....might take me a while to catchup smells the shit... Had to defoliate the other one a bit to open it up the flowers , it was just too much , leaves getting silly 😜

Well here she is into week 7 few days in her 2 week flush. The buds are super crazy dense. Doesnt look like she yeilded too much but we will see🙂👌

July 29, 2024 So I was going to wait to harvest at the end of this week, but a friend of mine said I should harvest now. I agreed after looking closely at the trichomes. Sour Diesel A weighed in at 20.5 Oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel B weighed in at 19 Oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel C weighed in at 23.5 oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel D weighed in at 18 Oz wet weight. Partial wet trim. The cola is solid, so I couldn't access a lot of the stems from the fan leaves. It'll be a pain to trim I think. The environment should be around 65° and the humidity just below 60%. I'll strive to keep it that way. I shouldn't have a problem with the humidity still being high in my room. I'll be back in 10 to 14 days with a final yield and smoke review. July 30, 2024 Quick update with estimates. The environment in the tent is off by a lot today. I'll have to open the tent once or twice a day to let the super high humidity out. I hate my portable AC. So based on the 81 Oz wet weight and my previous runs, the weight retention after trimming should be around 13%. That should be a total of around 10 oz. It may be a tiny bit more or less. With Sour Diesel D being partially wet trimmed and being so dense, it might increase the total dry weight a little bit. But it could be as low as 8 Oz. We shall see. July 31, 2024 You know, it really sucks when the humidity still spikes and now the tent is too warm. However, as I'm writing this, the central air kicked on. This should fix it all, but I'm still running into super high humidity at night and in the morning while the AC is off. I really hope this doesn't mess up the final product. August 2, 2024 Day 4 of drying. Everything looks good so far. The humidity is still way too high and I'm thinking I should've wet trimmed just because the humidity is so high. Too late now. Anyway, I'm monitoring closely. The exhaust fan is maxed out to help keep air flow constant. That way there's less chance of mold and mildew. I also have both oscillating running below the plants with a small dehumidifier in the middle. It's not keeping the humidity down to a reasonable level, but it IS keeping it lower than it would be. With the fans running, it's evenly leveled out through the tent. The only issue is the temp. It's a bit on the warm side. I'd like it to be at 65°. Currently it's hovering between 69° and 70°. August 4, 2024 Day 6 of drying and these ladies are taking their time. Unfortunately it's because of the super high humidity we ran into the day I harvested. So I'm fighting with 71% humidity in my bedroom. It's crazy. The portable AC is doing absolutely nothing except keeping the temp below 70°. That's good, but it's not good enough. Oh well. I'll just keep opening the tent up with the bedroom light set to green to ensure they air out and let fresh humidity in. Lol. I'll keep checking in until they are done drying. August 6, 2024 Quick update. These ladies have been drying for 8 days now and they aren't ready yet. I'd say another 5 to 7 days. With the humidity being so bouncy, I feel like something will get messed up. It probably won't. I have the exhaust fan up and the oscillating fans going. Should be safe from mold and whatnot. But still. Currently, the temp is at 63° and the humidity at 60%. Hopefully it stays that way for the next few days. At least during the day. I have an idea for night time. It gets pretty humid at night. So I'll turn both dehumidifiers on when I go to bed and turn them off when the AC kicks on. That should technically keep the humidity down, but the temp may go up. However, I do run the portable AC at night to keep my room cool enough for the plants. That brings in a lot of humidity. Still no clue why, but it does. Anyway, the whole idea should work. I just have to remember to shut the dehumidifiers off when the central AC kicks on. August 8, 2024 We are at day 10 of drying. Still another few days left. So a good thing to note is the size of the buds. They didn't shrink all that much. To be honest, they look like they've only lost about 25% of their size. Not a bad thing in the slightest. Hopefully with that being the case, the yield will be even bigger than I calculated. I'd also like to make a correction with my original calculation. My average yield is 15% of wet weight. That being said, I should be looking at closer to 12 oz total. 81 oz. x .15= 12.15 oz. We shall see how close I am now. August 10, 2024 It's now day 12. These ladies are nearly done. I'd say another 2 to 3 days. Not much else today. Just a quick one. I weighed Sour Diesel D. She weighs 4 oz now. A 78% drop in weight. That being said, I think I can safely say this one will yield around 2 oz. Maybe a hint less. Which completely messed up my calculations. Now I don't know. I think I'll go back down to 8 to 10 oz. And if I get 12 oz, what happy surprise. I also made sure to check them for mold as I do every day. So far it looks great! No signs of anything unwanted. Just beautiful trichomes glistening in the light. Update: Sour Diesel A was the first to finish up. She had a perfect snap. Dry trimmed yield is 67 grams. 2.4 oz. Around what I thought I was gonna see. I'd say the rest will be trimmed over the next 2 to 3 days. August 12, 2024 What a couple weeks. We are talking like 14 days. At the end of it all, I ended up with 10.65 oz. Right around where I was thinking. Sour Diesel A 67 grams Sour Diesel B 78 grams Sour Diesel C 79 grams Sour Diesel D 77 grams. For a grand total of 302 grams. Weight retention 13.15%. almost exactly what I calculated. What's funny is that they are all roughly the same weight except for A. The plants were all different and still yielded roughly the same. C was the largest, while D was technically the smallest. All of the plants have solid buds. B has airy but hard buds. It's not perfect, but this plant had the most foxtails, so I'll have to remember there was some sort of issue. I'm thinking it was the heat stress. Must have been a pocket where the air didn't flow. I'll have to fix that next run. The smoke is fantastic. Super fire. Great high and lasts quite a while. 30 days of curing and then storage. I'll be using Grove Bags. August 15, 2024 Quick update and then some bad news. I fit each plant in its own 1/4 pound grove bag. They are now curing in a box. The average temp is around 68°. Humidity is perfect at 62% I haven't sampled each plant yet. Only A and B. I'll be sampling C and D next week. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this run. The yield was a bit lower than I was hoping for in the beginning, but it's still not too bad. Especially because I had some issues along the way. Now for the bad news. I'm losing my home in a couple months and won't be able to grow anything for a while. I have no idea how long it's going to be before I get a new home, and it could take up to 2 years given my situation. But I will be back when I'm able. Thanks for all the support and compliments. On a more positive note, I still have a good pound of weed to hopefully last me til I get a new home. I don't smoke a ton, so it'll last quite a while. Later my growmies.

This is the Strawberry 🍓 Cola Sherbet from @Sweetseeds.com that I put in the same fabric pot ,as the last one ,I shocked , so this one has been on 12/12 since her first breath , and for a 5 wk old plant/f1 it is surely showing its vigorous growth and diversity in light hours from seed ,suits a lot of growers ,especially now a days wanting to try more flavours in shorter time frames are in demand and with quality seeds there very little f&ck ups too 😀 @Sweetseeds, i do recommend ,Highly 👌💯

Day 72: 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off the same with ventilation. Water intake also remains the same 200ml per day. Humidity approx 35 percent. Day 74: I have to start flushing next week is harvest time :*

I haven't veen around for a while but my plant kept on doing her thing, she looks gorgeous now, she is full on flowering and I am extremely happy with how this grow is going, in the next week or 2 I will replace that 45w blurple with 60w led quantum board filled with samsung lm281b diodes which should set me up for blooming perios when the buds stack, I nearly filled the 55x45cm screen and I'm expecting high yield after I install the new LED board

Day 28 - well it's the beginning of week 5 and I have now got the nutes finally tuned for my girls, all of them are looking gorgeous, nice green and healthy ✊ showing some great growth this week and the new growth just keeps on coming, I think another 2-3 weeks vegging and then its time to make the switch and see the stretch 😎 laughing buddhas are doing so well, considering a few were running slow at the start but they always catch up! Zkittlez OG auto at the top right is coming along nicely, currently week 4 of vegging for that girl, cookies kush at the top left is also doing well, showed some yellow leafing but managed to recover nicely. Also the HPS coverage is perfect for this tent, was using LED before which yes if far cheaper to run but I can already picture great results for these 😍 fingers crossed! Day 31 - I'm going with a sea of green and scrog method but without topping, I want these girls to grow out naturally but I can now organise the bud sites thanks to the scrog net, I will be putting the net in in week 7 if all goes well. Changed water amount to 1.25 litres, saw some nute burn so going a little easier on the nutes, will feed just Ph'd water in next feed in 2 days time. Thanks for tuning in! 😎 Day 32 - lower d the HP's light to about 60cm above to help with growth, lowered scrog net as well. Bud sites are starting to show, will organise them when ready. Switching to 12/12 on week 8. Found silver tails in Coco, must be watering too often, will let Coco dry out - not showing any damage to the plants as of yet. Hopefully drying out Coco will get rid of them.

17 weeks now and I'll give one more week for my Dwarf to see how the trichomes will being. About the Northern Lights, I don't know if I'll wait for her to get the point that I'd like. I'm having problems drying my two Jacks because I don't have a proper space to do it so I had to improve. So, maybe I'll cut both together using the Dwarf as reference...cuz she's going big, maybe the biggest yield among them. As a first attempt to growing, I'm quite excited.

Day 91) 12/24 Merry Christmas 🎄 Eve growers. Another week gone by and I made satisfactory changes to nutrients this past week. I am just a tad bit worried 😬 about nute lockout cause it seems like slow bud growth is my only issue. Buds are getting fat but I don't like seeing the empty spots on the stalk. Could be environmental issues as well, temps been weird here at home. Other than that trichomes are shiny but I don't see any cloudy ones yet and pistils are still mostly white so come along on another week and see if she comes ready for starting the flush. Happy Growing and Happy Harvesting

Was an easy week. More to come as i only huge it a few hours ago . Updates incoming.

Fine tuning the heater temp, but all seems stable now. Sorry about the pics with the grow light, I will figure out how to filter it. Compared to other White Widow diaries, my girls seems to be performing normally.
