Curing time!!! And today was my brother’s high school graduation, so I gave him the first sample. Cut all and got them jarred. Had two jars of shake because I didn’t want to get stuck trying to trim the small-very small-buds. I don’t have a big enough scale to weigh, but will get the numbers to yall once I can. Gave my bro an eighth with one of each strain: passion fruit, holland’s hope, gipsy widow.

Day 4 of dry. Man do they shrink when they dry 🧐. Well, that’s good to know. I can see I’ll try harvesting pass the recommendation of the breeder and see that affect on the yield. Can’t wait to use the space for the next to implement everything I learned. Keep hanging like a branch my friends 🤓 (And yes, just got sidebars Baby 🍼 🍼)

(Double Post Day {P1}) First, it’s the clean up. Each pot is followed by the fabric and the soil mass photo. Each were very dense inside the soil, except one; However, root damage was happening further beyond the fabric because of too frequent waterings. — Note to self, less frequent / more dry lands — Goal of the Wedding Cake grow is to maximize root-mass. The Fabric pots can be washed and reused, but difficult to wash. I hand washed and machine, but the roots are still within them. Letting them dry before trying again.

(Double Post Day {P2}) What’s your hang time 🛹? Well, these Ladies looking good at it. The first 3rd of the set is right before I cut, the second 3rd is before the trim, interlude follows with some accidentals, then the final 3rd of the partially trimmed. Lots more growth towards the top and middle, bottoms were mostly nonexistent. I’ll account for that during the W.C grow, I’ll provide more nitrogen during my veg and the beginning of flower. My trellis I used forced my plants to the middle, but I will take advantage of my entire tent and grow them out a bit wider and longer. Whatever my yield comes to be, my goal is to smash that this next go round. Enjoy.

🧼 the walls/floor/ceiling, and removed 💡💡. Decidin’ to do a 36hour darkness. I cut the last day by 5hrs to induce more stress. Went crazy with the photos since it will be the last day before cut. I’m pretty excited about this final stage of harvest/dry/cure. Harvest is on my lil’ brother’s Birthday, 5/21, going to be a family affair. Hope y’all enjoy the shots. See y’all in about 36 🤘🏾

Had some fun with portrait mode. They swarmin’! Sneakin’ in some purple (😉) V for Victory Lap 🏁, we pullin’ in soon. Or maybe not, they still got so much youth on them. Just hit them with a 6.5 water feed. Tomorrow is (supposed to be) harvest, I doubt it. So a chance they get some more vegan sweetness 🍬

The Hulk impregnated all my ladies 👶🏾!!! The buds are thicker than a stick- you know the saying. Technically, I have half a week to go, but we’ll see it by eyes. Gave them a good flush during the weekend just cause. Back to back days with “Bulk” and then a watering with 6.5ph water the day after has been the 3day formula. Will repeat that ‘til end. (More deeper color each day I open!!)

Two laps (weeks) left 🏁!!!!! Bud production is engined up, the ⛽️ is a tanker. Checkout the checkered white lines (trichomes) on the roads (leaves)! I’m very excited for the highlight finish. Complete the race then pace my thoughts on all these ladies I’ve taken in.

La Dia de 💯 🥳! Shaved the ladies mustaches today. Cleaned ‘em up for their closeup. Added a 1tbsp of Roots Organic Bloom Top dressing for the finally time for the grow. Going into the last 3 weeks. From the jungle, through to the heating light, peaking @ the tippy Top, they pumped up like Biden’s first 💯 in office. Little tip: ended it with showing how I monitor all my devices. Kasa app/ power stripe. Can set schedules and check wattage usage. Keep it 💯 my Friends!

Ohh, the glitter ✨ 😭! Three more weeks and they snowy 🌨 aqui. Ohh, I’ve learned so much for my next grow 👨🏾‍🎓. [The last week has been pretty hot, temps been up there in the crib. Had to move some of the equipment to get more circulation] I’m on it 🚒 🔥 🚒.

Closeup Season!!!! That is all 😉

Night and day, the ladies are wild in the jungle 🤪. Extreme serene and peppermint for the foliar spray. INCREDIBLE BULK is in full effect! Feed today and yesterday; the response is beautiful. Beefing up off that plant food. Should stand closer and check out these shine.

Went through and opened the canopy of the front right corner plant (Gipsy Widow). Cut up the immature buds and stems below and inside to make space for light. Chopped through some of the others as well. Letting the plants focus on their major stems and sites. Watered with distilled water (my only Holland’s Hope in the right back corner is really expressing calcium excess), molasses, and Silica. This week I’ll be using distilled until it recovers. The last two weeks as well, to bring the ppms down. See y’all in two days.

4 ⬇️ another 4 semanas ‘til harvest. The tones are really sneaking in. Them trichomes though 🤤. Tangerine hairs curling in, Got some close-ups. Hit them with the extreme serene and peppermint feed at 6.5, 1 total gallon of water used.

Frosty Dressin’ and fruity! Orange is sneakin’ into the spectrum. 7 on one end, seven on the other sayin’, “what’s good.” Up close and personal, though, buds are really beginnin’ to form and connect. The smell is intoxicatingly citrusy. Had a bit of too low Ph for the two back end plants. Management in progress.

Half-way through Week 4: Half-way through flower, 4 weeks to go. All the ladies took some headshots, and the frosting is glowing. Hit with some trinity-Hp2-Humic Acid light mix, 1.2 total gallons used. Been foliar spraying and will do so again today. That mix is extreme serene-calmag-peppermint oil. Keep it fantastically smelling potent, my friend!

💐 from the ladies 👏🏾! Did some trim, took bottoms to open the canopies a bit. All the energy can go to the upper buds. Watered with 1.2 gallons of 6.3 phed plain water, then a 1gal with 1/4 tsp of kelp to top it off. Pics before the hand are before the watering, pics after are after the watering. The fragrance is seductive 🤤.

😆 totally tripped up and forgot to pin in in 6/7 hours. All chill, the ladies are still awake for this one. Had a short blackout on the block, decided to water with some Silica once the lights came back on. They stink so tastily ☺️. Buds are in the zone. And a sneak peak at the end: got a baby tent to start wedding cake (and experimenting bag seeds).

Part 1: Pre-Water: Hitting with the Soil Feeder! 1 cup Vital Tea, 1/2 cup Humus, 1/2 tsp of Hum/Acid, 1 tsp of molasses, 2Tb of HP2 roots organic. Top feed each container yesterday with 1tsp of Roots Organic Foundation and Bloom, and 1/4 of Roots organic Non-GMO soy bean. Did a small bit of trimming beforehand. These ladies are cropping well. Grew so much I raised the second trellis. I’ll be posting a post-watering in 6/7 hours.

“Saluda a la tercera semana” — basically flushed them the past two days – will hit with the extreme serene + Trinity + Silica + calmag mix tomorrow. Been really impressed by the only Holland’s hope to survive. It caught the height nearly of the dutch passion fruit. Very pleased this far with it all.

3 years ago

Stripped the ladies for a 💡tease. Spread open beautifully. Bud-sites developing well. A pretty green. Competition for position between the two back left plants (Dutch passion fruit/exotic seeds gipsy widow). Nice 🦶🏽, yes, I know. Wednesday marks two weeks, so plan to hit with plain water Monday+Tuesday+Thursday, while on Wednesday, Calmag+extreme serene+trinity+Silica. Finally, on Friday I will not water due to making a compost tea over night for Saturday; desire more dry back. I’ll use my eyes to determine the foliar spray rate and mix.

A week later, let’s see what’s popping . . . Crazy growth. Nearly all are nearing the second trellis. Been on a constant gallon to gallon and a half of water daily (These ladies are hella thirsty). Also do a daily foliar spray of peppermint oil mixed into either CalMag solution, or extreme serene or trinity by roots organic, with a bit of yucca. In this case, peppermint + Extreme Serene. Green-light gang! Pleased with the results thus far.

It’s been a long hangover. . . Life happened. The party back on. Had to boot one of the ladies, she wasn’t holding her weight. It’s day three of flower. Have some Mag deficiencies show. Water a little hard, waiting some something in the mail. Foliar spraying during night periods to compensate. Overall, a pretty green.

Flipped thermometer = Top dressing of 1 teaspoon into each of Roots Organic Grow and 1 teaspoon of Roots Organic Foundation, 1/4 teaspoon of OregonismXL. Right side up is the thermometer after a compost tea watering. Runoff until about 300ml. Put up 18’ stakes for now and a trellis to further train the young ladies. (Don’t mind the humidity, I had the tent open for awhile, it built back up)

Eight little ladies pecked pruners through their lovely little necks, took small amounts of Silica, Extreme Serene and CalMag through the belly before the onslaught. Beauty, that which your eyes behold. Slimmed thin into a foliar bodycon. [Sidenote, Amazon has my dome on hold, currently delayed in transit. Experiment time it it is then. Why waste a top? Honey on the tips as the root stimulator. Let’s see if these babies mature in a few weeks.]

Tea for breakfast mates? 1 Cup Vital Tea, 1/2 Cup Baseline Humus, 1/2 Tsp Humic Acid, 1/2 Cane Molasses, 4 tsp of Non-GMO Soybean Meal, 32hr Brew. The flipped over thermometer is from the last of my watering events before I fell to sleep. The side showing the temp/Humidity is about 7 hours later. Plan to give it a 83-85 (maybe more) degree day to really get them working. Topping in a couple days. One of the ladies is well over her head (haha). About a cup of runoff each.

3 years ago

In-N-ouT. Watered with some Silica and Extreme Serene (about 1.5 liters in total water used.) Lightly watered for a Compost Tea date Sunday Night/Early Monday Morning. Transplantation has been a success. Getting a bit of height on them. Once roots develop to my desired level, I’m topping. (Don’t mind the humidity, kept between 58-65, just had the tent open for a bit)

‼️💡🏡‼️Second level spectrum blending (oh, the color). The ladies standing tall with these white Stiletto heels with the purple blaze. Line it up Top to Bottom. [Getting closer to some home club level setup]

Time for the after party! Flipped into the streaming Hazy Purp Bodycons. Bucket companies 1.2 Gallons. A few images of what was rooted underneath. Gloved up when handling these girls! 1/2 tsp of Oregonism XL sprinkled into each. Top dressed and massaged with Roots Organics, and nearly plain water feed (1/4 tsp of RAW Silica). Lightly watered. (2nd light is delayed, hopefully they ship it this week). Two were left in solos, as I monitor their leaf development. Sticky with the sticks for preventative measures. And as always, remember to exhale 365 days a year (sometimes 366).

Just refilling the party bowl and adding that gas! They’re getting better with their limbs. (Wallflower note: the deep corner right is still presenting the same deformity as when it popped from seed. Going to allow access a week more before making a determination of its exit.) Plain water feed the day before.

Line ‘em Up! They’re all getting old enough in the party favs. Still waiting for the dry up. Some baby roots are excitingly poking from the sides. In due time 👌🏾.

Added a bit of Love potion, a little sugar, a little yucca + a little Silica to make the genes all sweet and refreshed. Building that immunity. A beautiful figure of 8.

Then there were 8. One seed stalled so I figured I get rid of it. Another 5 are progressing to my liking. Then there are these two in need of some surgery; Let’s see if with time they make it through. Check out them purple haze waiting patiently, can’t wait to transplant.

Line ‘em up, stick ‘em up, pullin’ out! The passion fruit are all popped and stemmed, The Gipsy are catching. So far minimum Hope, but hopefully that’ll change in a few. Added the heater for a quick warm up. Beautiful LED reflections, right?

3 years ago

Come along. Let’s get closer for a look! (A few days after germination) Oh, look at this, something sparking from the soil: That’s right, so far got 6 poking through, and three exposed. Slowly but surely. ___ my buckets are boxed in until transplant. Light setup until then.
