The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷ 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Son esquejes en hidroponía. Solamente agua con un poco de abonos, no añado aditivos. Después de 2 semanas en el Rainforest hago la transferencia hacia el sistema dwc. Es un sistema muy básico y muy eficaz.

18 weeks from seed to harvest. Love 34 street seeds, quality genetics for a fair price. These garlic cookies showed no disease or pest issues, no mold or powdery mildew. Easy enough to grow, no surprises, no super stretch in flower, but I would recommend training or SCROG to control them. Pungent Pine is what I am callling this smell, over 800 grams wet weight. They are hanging to dry in my tent as I write this, 60 %RH and about 71 degrees of freedom units! Can’t wait to try it out 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

I added a second light yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s overkill and if it’ll work well with the other one. They are both VIVOSUN 300w LEDs, the one I already had has a veg and bloom switch, but the new one doesn’t. But hey it was cheap on Black Friday for $63. But having the new one in there quickly increased the heat in there from 75 to 85. I’m waiting for an oscillating fan to throw in there also which will help. Any advice on the light situation? More light spectrum the better? Update: did my first LsT on all three girls on 12/1. Within 3 hours all the leaves were facing the lights again I was impressed

Amazing week. My first ever Low stress training! LST began on day 16. Growth slowed some for 1 day. I adjusted ties each day since. On the 2nd day it improved growth. After 3 nights they are back on track to full growth. The stems have really thickened and tons of new growth between each branch of each plant. Day 20- I began running the carbon filter system. I have been running intake air for a week timed. Now it is on full time on low pulling through the carbon filter out of the tent and low air intake inbound aiming at the plants. 2 vent doors are open to create what appears to be perfect negative pressure. (Slight suction, not intense) conditions have now become very stable. Plants received nutrients this evening. 15ml of fox farm big bloom and 5ml of fox farm grow big to 1 gallon water. Final pH 6.4 this round Day 21- absolutely amazed by the filtration system. Maintaining consistent temp & humidity. Plants received a dusting of nutrient water to re wet the top of the growing medium. Nutrients were aerated over night before the dusting. pH increased to 6.7 which I left. They will remain un-touched for the next 40+ hours.

Moved them inside last week and then chopped one down. Rot was taking over quickly. Buds hadn’t fully formed underneath but the main colas and tops were ok. Bit disappointing but the weather has just been terrible where I am this autumn 😂 what can you do.

🌱 Fenyas und Alinas kleines großes Reiseabenteuer 🌱 Mit einer aufregenden Geschichte sind wir wieder zurück. 😊 18 Tage jung und so hyper aufgeregt. Nach dem letzten Mal, ist erstmal nicht so viel passiert. Unser sportliches Gymnastikprogramm ist etwas gestiegen im Anspruch. Alina stretcht sich etwas mehr seitlich, während ich, Fenya mich leicht verbiege. Hier und da, zeigen wir, dass unser Bedarf an Nährstoffen etwas in die Höhe gegangen ist aber unsere Wasserspenderin hat gleich reagiert. Das belohnen wir natürlich mit einem enormen Wachstum. Auch haben wir uns fleißig vorbereitet, auf unsere Freiheit. Das viereckige Licht über uns, ging plötzlich für ein paar Stunden aus. Die Nächte brachen in unseren Rhythmus ein. Alina und ich erzählten uns gegenseitig gruselige Monstergeschichten. Weiter ist bis heute nichts passiert. Und dann plötzlich ging die Tür von unserem Zimmer auf und anstatt unserer Routinebegrüßung und der fast täglichen Dusche, wurden wir davongetragen!! 😱 Zugegeben war das kurz etwas beängstigend. Wir dachten schon entführt worden zu sein. Aber jetzt stehen wir hier. An einem Ort, der so ganz anders ist. Die Luft ist freier, der Wind viel kräftiger. Das Licht so extrem hell. Es brauchte einen Augenblick, bis wir wieder richtig sehen konnten. Leicht zitternd, noch von dem Schreck, stand sie wieder liebevoll lächelnd vor uns. Unsere Wasserspenderin. Endlich hat es begonnen, unser Abenteuer in der Wildnis. Ich träumte verloren von all den Geschichten, dass ich fast gar nicht bemerkte, dass mir auf einmal der Kopf fehlte. Also, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes! Plötzlich war der einfach weg! Und bevor ich los schreien konnte, beruhigte mich unsere Wasserspenderin. Das sei nicht so schlimm und eigentlich wäre der Kopf gar nicht weg, hörte ich ihre liebevolle Stimme. Ich hab versucht mit meinen neuen wachsenden Köpfen um mich zu schauen. Und tatsächlich, zu meinen Füßen, fand ich meinen alten Kopf. Da steckt er nun in der Erde, versorgt mit Zimt Pulver und einem Schnaps zur Wurzelbildung. (Hesi - Wurzelkomplex) Das ist gewagt, aber machbar. Und unser Abenteuer wäre langweilig, wenn wir nicht ausgefallene Dinge ausprobieren würden. 🤷 Fleißig drücken wir jetzt "Baby Fenya" die Blättchen und hoffen, dass sie groß und stark wird. Auf jeden Fall werden wir euch davon erzählen, beim nächsten Growreport. Liebste Grüße Fenya und Alina 🌱

Day 49 Flip day! Just flipped them to 12/12 took loads of leaves off. Let's see if I've guessed the sex right then 😏 I think I've got 3 fems but people still tell me I want know until I've flipped 🤷‍♂️🏼 Update: Day 50 and day 1 of flower looking very happy will give a nice feed when soil dries out. Lights are now maxed out and on Day 51, day 2 of flower I'm sure all 3 are definitely fems will keep eye on them next few days 👀 Update again: Day 53, Day 4 of flower and they looking beautiful 😍

It's a nice change of pace to have these warmer temperatures, even if it's not quite spring yet. Low 40s during the day is a lot more comfortable than what we've been dealing with lately. Hopefully, this is a sign that spring's around the corner. My Skunk Apple plant sounds like it's finally getting on track. After a rough start, it's good to hear things are looking decent. Hopefully, it'll keep looking better and better.

This 3 ladies are big! They have achieved a beautiful structure, very bushy full of bud sites everywhere, this plants are very awesome to apply lst, the secondary branches tend to stretch a lot! However I'm growing this strain with another 8 strains in SOG so I just applied a selective defoliation and they are ready to develop some nice colas! I'm just growing in recycled soil from my previous grows re amended with FLO Living soil blend snd just water!

Aug 23: Mimosa Shot is doing fine. More sativa like than I expected bit she is starting to fill in and smells nice. She only has 8 colas because she didnt like the cool spring, but it’s hot here for at least the next 10 days so she will finish strong. Aug 26: just over 30 C today and upping water volume. Doing three waterings of about 3 L each, and spraying down grow bags when they’re in direct sun for too long. Aug 27: hot again reaching 32 C today.

I found this seed in bud that I harvested from my Barney's Liberty Haze plant. It was grown in my grow room and you can see my GrowDiary log of that plant. I am not sure exactly how I ended up with seeds... maybe there was light or temperature stress which resulted in a herm. In any case, I decided to grow this seed as a fun experiment. I didn't even know if the seed would germinate... but it grew just FINE. I didn't top it, or give it any special treatment. I guess you could say she grew 'native' or 'au natural.' I have never grown outside before, but I had space in the garden, and the seedling looked healthy, so I hardened her off and popped her into the dirt. She ended up going into a huge monster of a plant. Standing over 9 feet tall I had to laugh out loud each time I climbed the ladder to inspect her top cola LOL. I had so much fun growing this plant. I called her Majestic Haze (we live on Majestic Drive) because I'm not sure if Barney's would want me calling her Liberty Haze. I can't verify the genetics for sure :) I wonder how plant breeders handle those kinds of things??... This bud is fun for parties and conversation. It starts out with an energetic vibe and then settles into a relaxed chill stoned feeling. We vaped our dried bud, and then we tried some of our hand rolled hash... then we settled in for the night. Woke up a sit high still LOL but it's Saturday and we don't need to go anywhere so it's all good LOL... This one is the bud of choice for house parties and silly Netflix watching. PS if you haven't see The Good Place... you need to get stoned and watch it. The total dried weight of bud from this plant was just under one pound @ 310g and we also ended up with around 120 g of frosty trim. We also rolled up about a gram of hash which has some serious kick :)
