Alright alright, here we go! Things have gotten interesting down in the tent.
I was greeted to this sight this morning.
The Blueberry Auto from @Alaskagrown is huuuuge! This thing ceases to amaze me. It has been putting on quite a bit of weight, and has been very thirsty. Not sure if it is the 1 gallon pots, or just how fast this thing wants to fatten up, but its thriving and enjoying getting spoiled.
The Sweet Berrylope Haze also has been showing some beautiful colours @Fitzera . Just seeing your comment now, but the stem rub is really giving off some rancid berries with some sweetness. Really excited for this one.
I think the Shaman Haze may be showing a little more if its haze growth, its also coming along really nicely.
The other Blueberry is also doing really well.
All of these ladies got a top dressing of powerbloom and all purpose gaia green again this morning, and got some bokashi tea about mid last week. Really happy with where I am at this point, and hoping to sneak them in finishing right before I go out west at the end of the month. Fingers crossed they will be done then.

It looks like the Shaman Haze is quite a bit taller than the berrylope, that would be coming from the Medicine Man side of things but the flowers definitely are starting out looking like Peaks Haze.

Stoked to see how they pull through to the finish line.
Tiny little update this evening. I added another topdressing of 1 tbsp of power bloom and all purpose gaia green, and have fed them with a compost tea from my bokashi bin.
The Sweet Berrylope Haze is putting on some nice weight. Not alot of frost yet, but excited for this based on the colour expression alone. Smells very musty and fruity. @Fitzera
The huge Blueberry Auto from @Alaskagrown. Really pleasantly surprised at how big this thing got, left it alone and even in a 1 gallon pot, its getting super heavy. Going to try this in a 7 gallon and see what happens in the near future.
The Shaman Haze is really nicely chugging along!
I will post pics tomorrow, but I got my hands on a 1:1 Blue Dream temple ball from someone, and it has been very tasty.

Things are coming along swimmingly!
The blueberry from @Alaskagrown really fattening up!
Shaman Haze @Fitzera
The 2nd blueberry
Sweet Berrylope Haze @Fitzera
A little reflection on progress since the last update. The Blueberry plants are infinitely thirsty, they go through about a liter of water daily, and the Sweet BerryLope Haze definitely dominates the room in the smell department. It stinks of a really pungent almost raspberry smell. Its very pungent and the colouring is wild.
The Shaman Haze has those little golfball nugs, with super huge pistils and also has been feeding heavy.
Not pictured are the cannacheese plants, which stalled out a little at the beginning which may have contributed to them flowering before they were really big enough.
Working with Gaia Green and compost tea’s from my Bokashi bin have really spoiled the plants, and fingers crossed, knock on wood, it has been a generally positive experience with no real setbacks or issues.

I’m gonna pop some of those berrylopes sooner than later, very interested to see what will come from a long veg and big root space. The colours and your smell description excite me. I’m a little bummed on the flower size you’re getting, I hope she puts out for you.
What kind of aromas are you getting from the Shaman Haze? Floral? Pine?

Hey Man!
Thanks for the comment. I am hoping to run it again in a larger pot next time, the colours and smells on the berrylope are like so pronounced. Kind of smells like a raspberry slushie lots of depth.
In terms of the shaman haze, it is quite piney with like a floral backup.

Right on! Sounds like it has some promise for sure
That Shaman Haze sounds like a 50/50 blend, the medicine Man was very piney and the sweet skunk haze very floral. I won’t be surprised to see purple in the buds as it matures

Time for another somewhat regular update. I always find these updates closer to the end a little bit more exciting, but know that visually it is more exciting, but it is only possible because of all the groundwork laid during germination and into veg. Anyways, a little spacey tonight, but I wanted to set the mood for this update with this tune.
The blueberry from @Alaskagrown is almost done. I am a little bit torn, as I do see a considerable amount of pistils browning, but the buds themselves look like they could fatten up some, and plus it is still drinking super heavily, taking about a liter per day.
The Sweet Berrylope Haze is giving off some really raspberry candy smells, and the colouring has really spread, very excited for this one @Fitzera
The Cannacheese plants that stunted really hard at the beginning seem to be frosting up considerably. I am not holding my breath for high yields on this one, but will be happy to run some outdoors and also in bigger pots.

The Shaman Haze is really growing those golf ball buds, that I am really excited for. It seems each day, that it is getting more of a piney nose, which is really reminiscent of some of the old packs I remember smoking. @Fitzera
The second blueberry has similar growth patterns to the other one, but is just a little bit behind in terms of the pistils changing colours.
Will do an update tomorrow of my outdoor situation. Currently running 2 of the Hindu Kush fem Autos from @Fitzera, one cannacheese auto, as well as 2 grapefruit Kush autos also from fitzera, and 3 CBD Auto 1:1 plants.
I am also going to go down to my parents place and check on the plants down there. I put about 40 plants into the ground a couple weeks ago, but have yet to be able to go check them out. Will update that tomorrow as well.
Cheers!

So I was able to break free from the city for the morning, and drove down to the country to check on my plants. I was very pleasantly surprised to find 24 of the 36 I had planted thriving and doing really well.
These are the Cheese Dawg from @THCeed as well as the Lennon cross.
I also planted 5 of the (Dg x 3bog) x CDLC x Blackstrap, as well as 6 of the CBD Auto 1:1’s.
The soil was a little bit questionable to start, I was able to procure 2 yards of topsoil, but there was quite a bit of rock within it, and it had a very gravelly texture. I was able to add 125 liters of Sea Compost to start these.
When I was down today, I was able to add 20 liters of bokashi compost trenched between the rows, as well as a top dressing of Gaia Green 444 and Power Bloom. I finished with a nice drenching from the calcium foliar spray I made from fermenting egg shells.
Quite pleased with the progress, and trying to simultaneously nourish the soil and the plants. I know that with some time and perhaps a full season, this plot will be thriving even more next year.
I will be adding a drip line, and a pump from the lake mid July, as I will be going to the west coast until then.
Will keep adding updates as we go, but excited to have this going slightly in my favour.
Here is a creep shot from my wife, which really shows the beauty and the isolatedness of the location

Too cool about the raspberry candy! I hope it translates well into flavour! And the Medicine Man has surely taken over the Shaman Haze which is slightly surprising as I find Peaks gear tends to dominate in crosses. Cool non the less!
And you my friend are living the dream with your lake side plot! Beautiful spot you have there!

This will be the last update for a little bit, I am heading out to Vancouver/Seattle for a couple weeks with the family, so have left the plants in good hands and hopeful to come back to some finished plants. I did chop one of the blueberry plants today (noted below),as I felt the pistils were primarily browned, and it had stopped taking water in the past couple days. That plant is now hanging to dry.
The remaining blueberry plant @Alaskagrown (who i hope is doing well! Long time no see on here, sending good vibes)
The second blueberry, which got the chop just now. Felt quite cathartic to chop that one, but happy at how easy going it was. Will definitely be growing more blueberry plants in the future.
The Shaman Haze, still trucking along
The Sweet Berrylope Haze @Fitzera still filling out, but oh my the raspberry candy is so intense off this plant
No outdoor update today, but will be back with something in a couple weeks.

Not a grow update, I am certainly going through withdrawal, it is the first time in a little bit being away from my garden.
But that being said, I am enjoying all that the PNW has to offer. Took in a Mariners game, and now am enjoying the Puget Sound.

Hey Everyone, long time no update.
First off, a couple things, my apologies to @Fitzera and @Alaskagrown, I was unable to get photos of the plants before they came down. My wife and I returned from our vacation, and had to make the difficult decision to rehome our dog, so I was a little bit preoccupied, but managed to take the plants down, and they are now drying in my tent. I will get photos of them before I trim them next week.
But, I do have quite an outdoor update
my backyard plants have been fed with Gaia Green Powerbloom and 444, and have been getting weekly compost teas from my Bokashi Bin
@Fitzera , this grapefruit kush autofem is monstrous! I had played around with topping it around June 20th, and came home to a monster!
also the hindu kush autofem from fitzera is doing really well, quite a squat little guy, but really starting to stink.
my cannacheese 1:1 also is doing well, I really frigged around with fimming it, and it seems to have worked.
two cbd auto fems
another hindu kush
the group shot!
In addition to this, I have just soaked the following for a little run in the tent
3- Bubba Kush from @Bobgrows
2- RKS x Cream Cheese from @Kushking902
1- Mango Fem from @Mithridate
3- Cannacheese Autos (2 will go outside, and 1 I will try and reverse, so we will see how that goes)
Will update on the garden at my parents place this weekend, going to install a pump to get some of that sweet sweet lake water.

Where did the summer go lol! Things have been crazy here with the good weather and having family visit, so my updates have been sparse but I have been busy!
Without Further ado I have some autos about ready to call it quits, lots of success this so far with using bokashi compost teas and gaia green.
Grapefruit Kush from @Fitzera. The topping of the auto seemed to go off without a hitch, so very happy with this.
Not sure how much longer going to leave it, perhaps another week to see if they put on more weight.
CBD Pink Kush Auto from Seedsman. Also very happy with this one, smells delicious and still waiting on it to fatten up.
The Cannacheese is also nearing completion. Going to let it get a little bit fatter
The Hindu Kush also from @Fitzera coming along. Going to chop it soon, did not do enough defoliation, and getting concerned about air flow.
I have another Hindu Kush that is very similar, and cannot find a picture of it for the life of me, but its looking almost identical.
Part 2.
So, I jumped at the opportunity to run some plants in the country this summer, and made good use of the space I have. The soil was quite gritty, so I added a considerable amount of marine compost, and have been trenching in bokashi compost. Will have much better go at it next year, but here are some progress pictures.
The surviving plants are all from @THCeed, they are the cheese dawg primarily with some of the Lennon Skywalker/Ghost Triangle around as well.
I also have a single lonely Crazy 8’s MonkeyFruit from @repins12 (I believe) nearing completion in a 1 gallon.
Will post a tent update tomorrow when I have a chance for some progress shots.

It has been quite a while since my last update, and my posting schedule has been off due to travelling, and sleep training my 8 month old daughter haha (12 hours of sleep last night).
Regardless, here we go.
My blueberry cbd from @THCeed has been trucking along, and I have incorporated a scrog net to try and maximize yield and even out the canopy.
the Pre-98 Bubba from @Bobgrows is also doing quite well. It is hard to get a straight on shot, but you can see it flourishing in the back left
The Cream and Cheese x RKS from @Kushking902 also seems to be holding its own.
I had a little bit of an issue with some fungus gnats, so incorporated some yellow fly strips and added some diatomaceous earth and I have not seen any little guys flying around in a couple days.
Just flipped to flower two days ago, and am very excited for how things progress.
In terms of my last harvest, I have some bud shots (please excuse my horrid photo skills)
this is the Blueberry Auto from @Alaskagrown
It has a wonderful really dank rotten blueberry nose which has dulled with cure, but it is still there once broken open. Excited to try this after about another week or so of burping and cure
The Sweet Berrylope Haze from @Fitzera is super stinky. Lots of sweet fruit with some funk on the nose.
More pictures tomorrow!

Outdoor Update!
These plants have been doing really well, after basically being neglected for the past three weeks. Excited that those beans from @THCeed are so resilient.
the cheese dawg and the lennon skywalker/ghost triangle sure are putting on some weight.

Hi Everyone!
I know it has been awhile since I posted in here, as I have been quite busy, but still very much working on my garden(s).
Firstly, here is a very bad photo of my current set up in my flowering tent. This is my first foray in trying to maintain a balanced canopy using LST and a scrog net, and it has been going swimmingly for the larger plant, but may have hindered the growth of the smaller plants. Lesson learned that I think running 3 plants in my 4x4 in 7 gallon pots will be the best method going forward, and trying to even out growth before switching to flower.
@THCeed Blueberry CBD is thriving in a 7 gallon
@Bobgrows Pre-98 Bubba is getting those signature golf ball buds, and has a wonderfully spicy stem rub
@Kushking902 the RKS X Cream Cheese is doing well, I didnt do the plant justice in a 1 gallon, but it has survived and is really quite stinky as it gets closer to the end.
In outdoor news, I had to harvest my outdoor garden to beat the hurricane, and the plants were left to dry in a net in my basement with humidity consistency assisted by a dehumidifier. I trimmed up the plants and tried my hand at making bubble hash, which was a very small success. I think I did make a couple missteps early on in my agitation and extraction, and yielded about 8 grams from 400 grams of starting material. I think that going forward I will use less material at one time, and have a little bit more patience with my agitation, and use a larger tool to get those vortex’s.
That being I ended up with some seeds from the somewhat unplanned open pollination between the Cheese Dawg and the Ghost Triangle/Lennon from @THCeed just testing the viability now, but will certainly offer some to any interested OG to continue to spread the generosity I have experienced. Keep an eye on this space, and depending on outcome, I will be able to provide at least 5-10 flips.
Thanks for looking, and anyone that has any tips on ice extraction, please drop me a line. I would love to try my hand at making more from the Blueberry CBD.

Final update for this run!
Still trying to get a handle on photography in my reflective tent!
All plants are done, very pleasantly surprised with how this run turned out.
Let everything go 9 weeks, and then had to chop as to going away for longer than I would feel comfortable leaving the plants in.
@THCeed the blueberry cbd really was really fun to grow, super thirsty plant that really settled into the scrog net and the fade *chefs kiss
@Kushking902 the cream cheese x rks turned out nicely, would definitely up pot my next run, the 1 gallon really didnt do it justice. Really stinky so happy with that 
@Bobgrows the Pre-98 Bubba Kush is such a fun plant! those softballs are really pleasant and its structure was very nice to see fill in as time went on. Lots of coffee nose on it coming down, with some spiciness. Excited for it to dry
Thats all for this one folks. Lined up for the next run is some Death Bubba, some Mango from KCBrains and some Cannatonic Perkins. I have been on a real cbd kick recently, and have found amazing help with some muscle and joint pain, and it has really helped me with recovery from fitness. Excited to find some interesting flavours and hopefully good medicine
