Lemon cream pie harvested at day 66. O dried the nicest colas and put all the lowers in a freezer bag for hash. I still have about 3-4 oz of black triangle frozen from the last batch

Tried my best not to buy anymore seeds on 420 yesterday but found a few packs that I just couldn’t resist. Both packs are from the breeder strayfox gardens I got peachez and chem and purple Nepali and I made sure I got fems because I’m getting sick of paying 10 bucks a plant to get them sex tested early

the snow lotus was chopped last week around day 70. Everything has been trimmed and bagged and I hit 12oz on this plant so I’m very happy with the results. Tested some samples and the effects are really nice more of a daytime buzz with a clear focused head space and a nice feeling of well being it’s the perfect daytime strain and it doesn’t seem to have a ceiling because I was pretty toasted most of the day on this stuff. The next batch is at day 7 today in the flower tent here are some pics from day 6 last night. I have my auto watering setup to water for 1 minute intervals every 6 hours so at 230am, 830am, 230pm and 830pm all 4 plants get about 1 gal of water and so far I think 4 times per day is perfect I’ve been getting some really vigorous growth and replaced my light hanger with some ratchet style hangers so I can raise the light higher and not have to worry about these two plants in the back outgrowing the tent since I’ve got a 7 foot clearance now.
Very nice trim job well done.

I’m gonna show you the secret Keith, I swear by this method but it only works if the buds are dry enough this strain was perfect for it. First I use this thing called the cannabrush it has silicon paddles that stick to the fan leaves but do not harm the trichomes it’s a game changer. I use that to remove the majority of the dried leaves then use the scissors to do a final trim on the stuff I missed.Very nice trim job well done.
CannaBrush Trimming Brush
Trim cannabis with a brush. It’s faster, easier on your hands and concentration, and is gentler on the plant resulting in a higher quality harvest. It takes a little practice, but once you start brushing you won’t go back.

I got it a few years ago and tried it and didn't like it then tried it again on the last grow and it really depends on how dry the plant material is. If its not dry enough the thing doesnt work as well but if the buds are dry it works so well its ridiculous. It took me an hour to trim up over 5 oz of bud with this thing on Saturday morningCool tool I have to get one for trimming. Canna Brush.

Day 11 in the flower tent. These plants stretched about 12-14 inches so far. I’ve been moving the light up every couple days. Taking it lightly on them since the Panama is a very light feeder and since I’m auto watering now they all get the same strength so I lowered my feed down from 800ppm down to around 750-770 to prevent tip burn on the picky Panama. These are the tallest plants I’ve had in this tent ever and it’s been a challenge getting to the two plants in the back. On Tuesday it’s lower cleanup and defoliation time and I’ve gotta come up with a plan to trim the back plants I’m not looking forward to it at all but it’s gotta be done to thin out these plants or it’s gonna be too thick back there. Overall this has been going very well and I owe it to the multiple ferts per day I can tell a massive difference in the plants health by giving 4 small shots of feed per day instead of the large volume of feed once per day at lights on which I did the past 2 grows. Seems like they’re much more happy getting 4 small meals than 1 big one and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the buds develop getting fed 4 times daily.

Also new on this grow I automated just about everything. I added a better dehumidifier and now I can control every aspect of the grow from my phone between the ac infinity app, the app that controls the auto watering and lights and the app that lets me remotely control the air and rh in the room has been a real game changer.

Cleaned up the plants last night at day 13. I like to remove anything underneath the halfway point of the plant and then look at the stems and the stems that are half the thickness of the majority of stems get removed so any of those skinny noodle branches I get rid of. Then I take some large fan leaves blocking the center of the canopy so more light can get to the low buds. Had to order a 2nd net these plants really stretched even though I added more silica and had the lights at a more intense level there was no stopping this stretch but luckily with the ratchet style hangers in here it won’t be a problem

First two pics are day 1 and day 17 I can’t believe how much these plants stretched. Right now I’m just trying to slowly ease into my bloom formula in the next 5 days without burning the crap out of these plants I think I’m gonna go in light at 780-800ppm for the first week just to be safe I’m nervous they look so good right now I’m afraid to screw them up because in the past weeks 4-6 have always been a struggle. Maybe the 4 watering per day will prevent the ugly leaves this time it will be interesting to see if that makes a difference so far I think it’s definitely making a different in the leaf health I don’t have any deficient plants with exception to the front right runt that has the yellow new growth but she’s just a slow bloomer so overall I think the multiple fertigations per day are helping

Day 24 today here are some pics from day 23 last night. Luckily the stretch has ended I really cut it close on this grow I’ve got about 4 inches of light space left. Smells are starting to come along with some frost. So far the sour diesel smells like motor oil mixed with a Douglass fir and the caramel afghan smells like a mix of tangerines and lime very tropical. The Panama and the Congo do not smell yet and haven’t developed any trichomes yet. I’ve also decided I’m not going to do dabs of rosin in the daytime anymore, I just had a 15 minute conversation at the grocery store with a senior citizen collecting donations for the Shriners. We discussed how similar they are to the grand Poobah and the water buffalo lodge on the flintstones.
We seniors are tuned in to such things you know Costanza! What made you think not?

day 35 buds starting to fatten tent is beyond stinky carbon filter not as effective with this stinky diesel its super stinky. got some Neroli 91 and Sunshine 4 cutting in the mail yesterday from a good friend in the bay area shocked they arrived safe and somewhat healthy. I soaked them in water last night then soaked some root plugs, re cut them diagonally, and scraped some plant material off to help them root then dipped them in some clonex and put the plugs on a heating pad in the veg tent in the domed cloner. I'm gonna take the nicest clone of each I have 4 of the Neroli and 5 of the Sunshine. both were pheno hunted with the Neroli leaning towards the Chem 91 side and I searched for Sunshine 4 seeds for so long without any luck and the only clone I was able to find was being sold by some scumbag for 500 bucks so needless to say I am thrilled that I was able to obtain this clone without spending a fortune. The plan is to pick 1of each strain then transplant into some promix so I don't have to water this mother plant constantly in coco. I'm gonna keep them both as mothers and pull clones off of them in the future so I might need to get another tent so I can put the small 260w led in there for mother plants.

This is my favorite plant in the tent the sour diesel. Her buds developed a little quicker than the rest and they continue to fatten up daily.

Day 46 in the garden. At around 40 dli right now and 1.3 vpd. Slowly lowing my temps at night down to 70f this week next week I’m gonna drop my dli down to 36 to try and prevent the dreaded foxtailing that I’ve been dealing with on the past couple grows, then gonna raise DLi up to 1.4 and drop night temps a little lower down to 68 then to 65 for week 9.
Beautiful buds looking very good.
