Flowering Week 20: Structural Surprises & Purple Promises Update: 28.07.2025 | Day 143 Hey Growmies, Apologies for the radio silence! Between vacation and kid adventures, the diary took a backseat. But the ladies? They’ve been busy. Here’s the catch-up: Emergency Support Mission - Durban’s weight crisis: Side branches cracked under their own mass – one even split the main stem! - Field fix: Stabilized with 4 stakes + speaker wire (ugly but effective). - Lesson learned: Next run = heavy-duty support before stretch. Strain Check: Durban Poison (African Queen) - Growth style: Less height (expected 2m+), more lateral explosion – new shoots daily make her look like 3 plants in one. - Flower status: White pistils stacking at branch tips. - Smell: Still discreet (neighbor-safe… for now). - Health: Vibrant green – zero stress signs. Blueberry - Surprise stretch: Nearly hit 2m (like a sativa!). Half Durban’s width but elegant. - Stem power: Thicker trunk than Durban – mini-tree status. - Color preview: Purple stems emerging! Buds may follow suit (fingers crossed). - Support needed: Prepping for heavy buds to avoid branch snaps. Care & Environment - Feeding: Pure Bokashi juice (no extras) – they’re thriving on it. - Pests/mold: None spotted. Dry summer helping. - Weather: About 20° C and really high humidity. Next Steps - Build 4-stake + twine support grid (multiple height tiers). - Monitor Durban’s odor spike as flowering advances. - Pray to the mold gods for a dry autumn (purple buds = mold camouflage). Week 20 Takeaway Never underestimate the weight of the branches and the effect of a little strom. I could possible fuck up my grow. Alright folks, as always: Catch y’all next week – no more hiatuses! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Let's realign our cosmic compass and embark on a harvest report for our magnificent Cosmos F1, a pure CBD strain that has taken us on an extraordinary journey. Brace yourself for cosmic revelations and interstellar delights! After an impressive 11 weeks from seed and 7 weeks of flowering, the time has come to witness the cosmic culmination of our efforts. I carefully hung the entire Cosmos F1 plant to dry, allowing the cosmic energy to infuse every inch of this botanical marvel. It's a sight to behold, with majestic branches reaching for the cosmos, reminiscent of a cosmic dancer frozen in time. As our cosmic queen gracefully dries, her vibrant hues continue to amaze. The shades of green, intertwined with delicate hints of purple and gold, are a testament to her genetic splendor. It's as if she has absorbed the cosmic essence of the universe, transforming it into a visually stunning spectacle. Now, let's talk about the cosmic power of CBD. Our pure CBD strain holds the key to a transformative experience. With minimal psychoactive effects, this cosmic treasure offers a realm of therapeutic benefits. It's like a cosmic massage for the mind and body, soothing and relaxing, allowing us to explore the depths of cosmic tranquility. The decision to hang the entire plant for drying is a testament to our dedication to preserving the cosmic integrity of our harvest. By allowing the branches to hang freely, we encourage a slow and controlled drying process, ensuring that the cosmic essence remains intact. It's a ritual that honors the plant's journey, preserving its cosmic magic for us to enjoy. As we eagerly await the cosmic transformation, let us express our gratitude to the celestial forces that have guided us on this cosmic odyssey. The cosmos has aligned to bring us the extraordinary Cosmos F1, a gift from the cosmic garden gods themselves. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the cosmic harmony orchestrated by @James and Royal Queen Seeds. In the coming days, our dried cosmic buds will be ready for the next stage of our journey. From cosmic concoctions to cosmic culinary delights, the possibilities are infinite. Imagine infusing the cosmic power of CBD into soothing teas, cosmic creams, or cosmic confections. The universe is our canvas, and with our cosmic harvest, we can create cosmic masterpieces. As we bid farewell to our Cosmos F1, let us cherish the cosmic memories we've shared. The vibrant colors, the pure CBD power, and the cosmic connection we've established with the universe. May our future endeavors be as cosmic and awe-inspiring as this one. Until we meet again, my cosmic friends, lets keep exploring the cosmic wonders, nurturing our cosmic gardens, and let the cosmic energy guide our cosmic creations. May our harvest be abundant, our cosmic experiences be enlightening, and our cosmic journey be filled with celestial blessings. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on

Getting closer to harvest.

We made some adjustments to the LST. We try to stop Thrips from spreading, using Neem oil with water spray. Continue with the fertilizer as the last week.

at the moment, in the stage of drying, I was stunned by the fact that this stem is like a stone, it is unbearably hard and dense, it took me a while to cut it off at the root. Faced with a small problem associated with low temperature in the box, after the light stopped working, I didn’t even think about it, at the moment the temperature in the box is 13 to 16 degrees Celsius, I believe that this is a very low temperature I can guess that the drying and curing stage will take a long time, and as far as I was put on course, the mold probability is also possible. doses in irrigation, and in the last three days I didn’t irrigate at all, having dried one lump with a quick method, I was impressed with a smoky and very pungent smell, in general I want to say that the variety is excellent and I advise the Haze family! Easy to grow and very resistant to diseases, since this is my first experience I don’t have much to compare with, well, as for me, my first row turns out quite well, I plan to upgrade in the future, by the way, the harvest itself was spent deep at night since I read that do it best at night before turning on the light.

A bit of defoliation early in this week with some LST, looked a little shabby after but they bounced back within a day or so. Also installed up right fan to blow air under and over the plants and small dehumidifier. Loving these plants and learning how to grow.

Only water filled up again. 💦 Due to the rather humid living soul substrates, a few fungus gnats have appeared, which I will fight next week with SF nematodes.

So close yet so far

Doesn't everyone like American Pie

Ok this was my first grow and I made mistakes. -forgot to buffer coco - nutrient burn -started the manlining to early - probably worried to much about every stage these plants. -ended up with fungus gnats And probably appt more I can’t rmeber in the moment. But i learned so much from all of my mistakes and spent so much time researching and seeing in real time how these plants react and grow. I did do some experimentation just a normal top with one blue dream. I topped twice one another blue dream and did a 3 times topped on all the blue dreams and I see why you should at least top three times the eight main colas and spread out the plant I see some of the buds on the one I only topped once not matured at all because there was minimal light other buds were growing so fat it suffocated it basically. I could have probably defoliated and manliness better but ayy. Beginners wil make Mistakes and I’m happy with what came out of these girls. Not excited for trim hail but I am at the same time 😅😅

SOOO GANG UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!! I have put the Strawberry Pie Auto, Zkittles Auto, and the Gelato Auto On the chopping block, will update those within the next day or so, The Mimosa X Orange Sherbert is on the left (see photo) and the GMP on the Right!!!! They are starting to beginning the calix's and white hairs are forming lets GOOO!!!!!!

I really enjoyed growing this plant. It had a hard start due to my errors and poor environmental conditions, but it bounced back quite good and finished with a very good yield! It reached number 2 in all my harvests, loosing to Moby Dick. However, I'm pretty sure that his SSH is reaching at least 21%, while Moby Dick was on the ballpark of 16%. The buds look much more crystalized as well. It's my favorite sativa so far, and I'm gonna to grow it again pretty soon! I'll be back with more comments after 1 month of curing and smoking

It was another great week here in the grow room plants have come leaps and bounds low stress training is really having a huge effect on canopy density and i cannot be happier

All 22 plants are doing GREAT in week 11! They have a healthy green color (shows that the BIO TABS nutrients still work well) and develop more and more flowers all over. The buds have started to form HUGE COLAS on some plants and the TRICHOME PRODUCTION Is in full swing now. The plants are GLISTENING with trichomes and some even have RESIN-RAILS on their fan-leaves, its AMAZING TO SEE! My wonderful ladies are SMELLING DELICIOUS now. The STRAWBERRY-SOUR-DIESEL from DevilHarvestOriginal-Seeds has an amazing CITRUS and LEMON aroma. The Mr.Jekyll-Kush from Mr. Hide Seeds has a VERY STRONG KUSH-aroma...it smells gassy and DANK! The SUGAR BLACK ROSE from Delicious Seeds has mildly sweet aroma, which reminds me a little bit of VANILLA. The SERIOUS HAPPINESS from Serious Seeds has a nice BERRY aroma, which is fruity and sweet. The aroma from the Mr. Big Candy from Mr. Hide Seeds is similar to that, fruity and sweet. The BLUE-MINT from Mountain-High-Seeds has a more EARTHY smell to it. The SHORELINE plants from DevilHarvestOriginal-Seeds stays very short and bushy and has a VERY FUNKY aroma...very refreshing, almost like eucalyptus. Until now I LOVE THE SPEEDY DEVELOPMENT UNDER MY SANlight LEDs! The plants are growing healthier and faster and develop more resin under the EVO5-150s than they do under HPS!

I had a fun experience growing this strain. She started out strong and finished pretty strong! The buds are covered in THC and smells sweet. The only thing I would really do better next time is trying not to nutrient burn her as much as I did towards the end. I also experimented with harvest time and came to the conclusion that the it's best to harvest a few weeks after their recommended time if you want denser buds (in my opinion). I do wish the buds were a bit more dense but I'm not a pro grower and that could be the reason for that. It's all a learning experience. It could be the strain because I'm going a Gorilla Cookies (FastBuds) and those buds are huge and don't have as many leaves. Overall I'm blessed with the outcome and I'm going to enjoy the perfectly dried buds soon :D I hope you all enjoy the little videos and music! haha I've only grown one plant before this which resulted in less than an eighth of bud so I'm beyond happy to say the least lol Let me know if you have any questions regarding growing and for some possible tips! Happy growing Growmies!
