Super proud of the way the manifold is turning out. So symmetrical! Between now and the next update I’ll be doing some defoliating. Get rid of some of the lower fans, create some airflow up top, and possibly remove the lowest set of growth tips on each of my main stems. Plant is flourishing and healthy but those leaves could maybe be more vibrant. Might be time to start introducing nutes to the reservoir. Edit: Added a video of the plant after defoliating. Ended up removing the bottom 2 nodes of growth except for the outer fan leaf on the top one. Also moved the soft ties up one node and adjusted where they’re anchored so they pull the stems apart more. Can’t wait to see what she looks like in a week!

The girl suffered from nutrient defiency but now it should be ok. Flowering week 7 started 12.5.23=>

Easy trim✂️ As always first the top buds then after 7 days the lower buds✂️ The smell is divine citrus & ripe cherry super sweet🤤🍋🍒 Imagine if you mix a scoop of amarena & lemon sorbet gelato and you have the smell!

Momma Shark II is healthy and growing slowly by design. I’ve got the 400W ballast dimmed to 250W. Lots of clone sites available when needed next. Bowl design seems to work well in these 2 gal pots in a 2x2 space that should be able to accommodate 4 moms if I stay on top of training! The two trainees - 8BK and XXL and doing well with manifold development. I have 20 branches on each plant now. My plan is to transplant very soon before tying any of these down. Then start training them out to the edge of the 2 gal and then upward to create more bowl designs. They’ll be moving to the Mothership to join Momma Shark soon 😎

Mane she’s filling out lovely I almost was too impatient and started to flush. But Only 3 leaves Started to turn but i started her back on nutes once I seen more hairs but. She’s responding nicely and they are filling out. I ultimately. Am too overly excited to make it dis far so I move to fast but None the less lessons learned patience I think the reason this one and my gsc took so long because I damaged a branch or two and it took time to heal. Which why it took so long Being overly careful caused me that because I was constantly watching opening the tents my fan fell on. My gsc so many times noob mistakes But I think she’s doing awesome

Gut in Blüte angekommen, sehr klebrig und Geruchs intensiv.

What can I say. She stinks so good and looks even better in the flesh. Taking heavy feeds and lots of water. She is putting on weight now and the bids appear to be joining up. Cant wait to try this.

Привет садоводы Началась новая неделя и я решил перевести ее на цветение хотел подержать еще неделю на вегетации , но надоело сегодня я заправил ее по полной удобрениями и стимуляторами так что остается ей пожелать доброго пути и следить как пойдут у нее дела всем удачи и красивых цветов !

Day 50 - Fully recovered from defoliation, starting to show signs of flowering.... Day 51 - Added some pics.... i forgot to turn on the 600w light panel after i turned it off for something... this was during the swap over to flower... so they were on mostly 2700k for afew days... Day 54 - Added some pics/vid, in the sunshine.... looking good, starting to flower..... pics of roots coming out everywhere... might have to defoliate some more..... 😎 Day 55 - Added some pics, they look happy in the light :) The girls are drinking alot, i'm still just bottom saucer watering, and just wet the top soil every few days.... It's alot easy way of letting them drink as much as they want without me over feeding them, The 8 ml/1 lt of dutch master gold one, is approx. working out to 800 ppm and about 6 PH mixed (i just add it until it's 800ppm), and i'm making up a 2 lt bottle of that every few days.... i think i'll have to go upto 1000-1200 ppm soon.... Both girls have root balls fully taking up every bit of room in the pots soil, the roots are coming out the top of the dirt, and out the bottom of the pots.... i'll take some pics of the roots and ventilation/exhaust, this week... The ventilation , exhaust, and filter are working properly, now that i have worked out the proper setup, there is no smell, and it has no impact to the home, other than the size of the tent. Something to notice is the home DIY LED setup i built, and the color in the pics, notice the yellowy sunlight color spectrum of the LEDs .... the details of the lights are in previous weeks...... I've also removed most of the tie downs now, and just been stress bending them by hand..... 0.5w leds (flower setup) 450-460nm (24pcs) blue veg 620-630nm (60pcs) red veg-flo 660nm (16pcs) red veg-flo yellow 2700k (high red) (flo-160pcs) - (veg-32pcs) white 7500k (high blue) (flo-56pcs) - (veg-178pcs) IR 730-740 nm (2pcs) UV 380 nm (2pcs) 😎

Killer purps is growing great! This plant suprises me everyday with more and more new growth. This plant gives off a really skunk type of diesel smell combined with a fruity maybe blueberry sort of smell. Alot of resin on the sugar leaves. Some of the pistils are already turning orange. Happy growing everyone. Hoping for atleast 2.5 ounces but fingers crossed what do you think my yield would be.???🤔

Week nummer 6 en ze is gaan bloeien. Heb haar in de tent geplaatst DS60 onder de ledverlichting. Omdat ik Spa Reine mineraalwater gebruik en dit zeer weinig calcium en magnesium bevat heb ik haar ook extra calmag gegeven. Laten we zien hoe ze zich deze week gaat ontwikkelen. Ik zal gedurende de week nog verse foto's updaten. To be continued....

The progress is visible looking at the timelapse video, which I'm happy for, considering the events of last week. It's disappointing though to see the huge difference in size between the Criticals and the GZkitzs, the Criticals are 3 times larger.

🍁💐 Runtz: La Runtz de Zamnesia 🌱🔥 es una variedad de cannabis de alta calidad, resultado del cruce entre las legendarias Zkittlez 🍬 y Gelato 🍦. Este híbrido perfectamente equilibrado, con un 50% índica 🛋️ y un 50% sativa 🌞, combina lo mejor de ambas genéticas para ofrecer una experiencia intensa 💥, sabrosa 😋 y completa. Su nivel de THC puede alcanzar el 27%. El TS1000 de Mars Hydro es una lámpara LED increíble para el cultivo interior 🌱💡. Ofrece una excelente combinación de potencia y eficiencia, perfecta para espacios pequeños y medianos. Su espectro completo simula la luz solar 🌞, ideal para todas las etapas del cultivo, desde la germinación hasta la floración. Además, el consumo energético es súper bajo ⚡, pero la producción es impresionante 🌿🔥. La distribución uniforme de la luz asegura plantas sanas y cosechas abundantes. Definitivamente es una gran inversión. Para este Concurso usaré la gama de fertilizantes de Plagron tal como mandan las reglas. 📆 Semana 7: La planta continúa evolucionando de manera positiva. Los cogollos siguen ganando volumen y densidad poco a poco, y aunque todavía no son tan grandes como los de las próximas semanas, se nota un buen desarrollo. La acción del Green Sensation de Plagron sigue siendo clave, ayudando a impulsar la floración sin mostrar signos de sobrealimentación. El aroma dulce y afrutado de la Runtz se va intensificando, y aunque no es tan fuerte como en su fase final, ya empieza a llenar el espacio de cultivo con su fragancia característica. Las hojas mantienen su verde vibrante, lo que indica que la nutrición está siendo bien equilibrada. Afortunadamente, no he encontrado plagas ni deficiencias, lo que me permite seguir concentrado en mantener el entorno óptimo para su desarrollo. Los tricomas aún están en proceso, pero los vigilo de cerca para ajustar el momento de la cosecha según corresponda. ¡A seguir con paciencia! ¡Pronto llegaré a la fase final !

Candy kush express #3 should be done by the end of this month and she's chunking up very nice and the smell coming from her is like nothing I've grown before it's wild!! Candy kush #1 is loving the foop bloom and is almost as tall as my gp x bkp which is like 6 weeks older 😅 😳 amazing growth with this strain. Candy kush #2 is growing super unruly lol 😆 branches growing every which way going to be a unique looking plant when all is said and done,I would seriously recommend this strain for anybody growing outdoors ,I'll be ordering a 10 pack for next season(depending on the smoke,which I already know is going to be fire 🔥) I was forced to move all 3 plants out in front of my house because the sun is slowly moving back behind the trees later and later as these fall weeks move foward but my front yard stays lit up from around 930am-730pm luckily or I'd be screwed

Dia 47 de vida y tercera semana de trasplante se puede ver en sus enormes hojas, y en el tallo que la planta esta bien servida de nutrientes y elicitadores, van a ser unos verdaderos monstruos en 5 meses que va a durar el ciclo y vamos a dar mucha guerra !!

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

Bin sehr glücklich über das Resultat. Die Sorte ist mir richtig gut gelungen, nicht nur vom ertrag auch die Kompaktheit der Buds. Ich glaube mein nächstes Projekt wird Runtz Muffin sein. :))

Muy buenas noches muchach@s....
