Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the second half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: individual feeding schedule/once a week: bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Week 8 done, going pretty well I’m happy. 1 of the Runtz has got huge colas already and quite frosty. The other 2 Runtz - much smaller buds 1 quite frosty / smelly the other hardly at all. Both the Fastbuds although much smaller than the Zamnesias are way way frostier. And so undecided what I’ll run next time. Will see how these zamnesia genetics smoke before I decide. Issues have been these fecking fungus gnats that I can’t quite get rid off. Seriously winding me up prick little things. And maybe mistiming my final top dress for some of the girls as 1 or 2 are looking a little hungry with c3weeks to go. Also about to run out weed so will probably have to chop one of these earlier than I’d like. Still next grow starts in 3 weeks when I’ve moved into the house I bought with the money growing has saved me. Will have a 2 tent setup plus a bitching new led… Lean times soon to be thing of the past..! So all good. Thanks for reading have a great week 😊

Well this grow went well up till the end where i managed to get spider mites yet again. Caught it early and at the end of the cycle so there was not a large impact. Now time to scrub the tent and everything in it with bleach.

Two of the S.A.D. seeds did not germinate. I also used the water glass method to germinate these two. The other two were planted directly in Jiffys. The Bruce Banner unfortunately germinated a day earlier and had no light yet.

beginning of the sixth week of flowering and I see many fat flowers. The pistils are still white, but resin production is strong. The flowers themselves do not give off a very strong smell, but it leaves a very strong smell on the fingers, a very sweet citrus aroma

The plants would have been growing well if I were there to figure out what was wrong with them but I was on the first week of a 2 week vacation so my gf didn't know what to do with them and I could only try to give tips from afar. I assumed they would all die.

Hey growmies, It looks like she has recovered, and didn't enter flower. Signs of strong genetics right there. I covered my hydroton to prevent algae, it works great. I'm not sure if I can clone this one, her first weeks of life she was too focused on recovery, as a result the plant is a little stunted for its age, but I will re-assess next week, as she looks fine now. Just not sure how much time I have before flower. Stay safe, warm and high. It's rough out there. My equipment is mainly by Mars Hydro, I bought them with my own hard earned money, if you are interested in buying one of their lights or tents and would like a small discount and help me out, check out the link below ! https://marshydro.eu/?ref=belgianbudtender Coupon code belgianbudtender

Hey growers Day 35 This run is sponsored by VIPRASPECTRA LEDS XS4000 480W AND P2000 X2 400W TOTAL POWER RUNNING 880WATTS Hey guys and girls this week hasn't been the best I overwatered , underwatered and then underwatered again , shit these girls express some amount of water , I literally flooded there plants to get a somewhat of a recovery response which isn't going the quickest either , some roots where exposed ( small amount ) wow they look healty white and fuzzy looking with plenty of hairs which indicates the bio roots worked extremely well even the terra aquatica TRI PART as this is synthetic it has charge ions the plant will uptake (N) continuously if overdone I've held back on as I don't want to damage the root zone with a build up of salts as we will ruin any microbial life with salts locking out important nutrients uptake also Noticed the fade on some bottom leaves losing colour but I've been holding bk on (N) as some looked dark !! What to do next I'll take step by step and observe the situation for a while before acting to fast .seedbanks involved ZAMNESIA, E.T.S , RQS ZAMNESIA GORILLA GLUE AUTO This girl is growing pretty well with a good vigour even through this.bad week , staying pretty compact with an abundance of pistle formation indicates this is going to be decent size dense nugs and hopfully keep good airflow around these girls . The outsider gorilla glue over with the newer plants is hitting a good rebound, nothing special but not a total waste anyways which shows strong resistance overall which is a good incentive when picking which genicitis you would run in smaller space this is definitely the square ⬛ 10liter S.O.G / ScrOG method with these plants being smaller and Bushier GIRLS SCOUT COOKIE'S AUTO Growing the most compact with very big pistle formation 🙌 explosive pistle formation , I think using buddy from early flower in lower dosage has increase the amount of flower sites with abundance of pistles as this is starting to happen on all plants growing but these girls are taken that to the extreme and would also suit the 10liter square pot method RUNTZ AUTO girls are growing big and formation of lots of tops and lateral branching is great 👍 pistle formation isn't as quick bhy these girls didn't flip as quickly to flower , they did take the underwatering pretty bad plus some leaves being remove cause some more shock , lol its been a shit week but nothing we won't be able to fix over the next few days I need to start getting watering correct ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS DO SI DO AUTO . the girls aren't doing to bad and looking better after being dryer than normal when I underwatered them , needless to say there coming bk to life and branching out continues to go on forming lots of viable tops and plenty of flower sites , might be a slow starter but never let that full you EMERALD TRIANGLE SEEDS BLUEBERRY AUTO yes this girl is doing well , the other sister looks like a basil plant and nothing much will come of her . I can't wait to try this girl out and most of the seeds I had 4 blueberry I only got one viable seed , disappointed but the one that's growing is doing well so the taste is what will sway my decision HEADLIGHT KUSH AUTO doing well and getting to a good size and keeping on par with the ZAMNESIA seeds this is a good strain LEMON HAZE AUTO hopfully I'll contain any stretching untill the girls reach SCROG height So hopfully the girls will do better from today and I can update with these girls praying 🙏 again , going to set DLI to 45 , temps to 23oC and water upto 0.33 liter a day this week day 36 onwards

Day 22 22/07/24 Monday Nothing new to report. Starting to see them beautiful fans appear that's all 😁✌️ Day 23 23/07/24 Tuesday Feed today, giving them straight all nutes Inc flowering nutes. I will update the dose as they grow and develop a bigger hunger. (Not sure what's wrong with Overdose #2, bit mutated, we'll see how she gets on 😅) Video updates 👌💚 Day 26 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update.

My Strawberry Gorilla plant is coming along, though it's a bit more delicate than my Gorilla Cookies. It's still showing some nice growth under the lights, but it's definitely a bit more sensitive. I'm keeping a close eye on it, and I'm hopeful that it'll start to thrive soon. I'm starting to get a faint whiff of that sweet, fruity aroma, so I know there's potential there! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

She has stretched 30cm in a week!!! I don’t know if this is the moment where i should feel happy about or not LOL. But my grow space is kinda limited and she has stretch so much it made my SCroG looked like it is the base of the plant. I bought a dehumidifier cuz i reckon the grow room was too humid for the plant during flowering phase but unfortunately i think the room is too big for the dehumidifier to work efficiently. The humidity is around 55-60 % which i think is a little bit too high but there is no better options . For the next grow i will have to invest on a new grow tent since growing in a room is kinda hard to manipulate the environment . By this week i cannot turn off my AC unit at all since the smell is very strong almost like i’m in a supermarket full of vegs .XD I put turn my AC and dehumidifier on full time and let’s hope that she stops the stretch before i run out of room!!

This week she’s bloomed after all that time thinking it was an auto it turns out she’s a photo which is weird because Top Tao seeds do not do photoperiod seeds to my knowledge as I tried to purchase some could only find autos however this Taomatic is not an auto I had another one growing as well which I tore down as these plants were nearly 3 months in and not a single sign of showing sex well you live and you learn BUT on a good note she’s smells very danky not a usual danky smell either it’s different, as of now I would say Top Tao seeds are good they take to topping and heavy training well I cracked 8 regular seeds and only had 2 males maybe it’s luck? we’ll see anyway happy growing peace ✌️🏾

Bring on the flowers lol I think these ladies are finally done stretching so I introduced the co2 to the tent which is just brewers yeast and sugar mixed with warm water. LOL this tent gives me anxiety hahah I dont like the canopy like this but she is very healthy along with all the other ladies. The only thing I can think of is I did not have the bigger fan in this time. Wonder if that was the cause.

This plant was one of my favorites to date, it was a perfect grow. She was so easy, she never showed any bad signs on her leaves, always was super happy. I accidentally topped her at about her 4th week or so when I was inducing LST on her. Didn’t even phase her whatsoever, she just branches off and did her own thing, I got her under a screen and the magic started happening, she bubbles up and came out with an crazy amount of flowering points. The amount of flowers she showed and then the color she showed during her fade weeks was unreal, her colors reminded me of something you’d see during fall season when leaves are changing outside. Super colorful and extremely sticky. I had to change my gloves and clean my scissors every few branches, a problem I never mind having. This is one of my top plants I’ve grown today, with the color and the size of the nugs it was a flawless grow. I tooted my own horn on this one to myself. 5 ounces is a stellar result and I’ll take that on any grow. I couldn’t recommend this strain enough and will definitely be in future grows for sure. Thanks for stopping by growmies, I hope to see you in my future diaries!
