So another week successfully chalked off. Moved from organic powdered nutrients up to this point onto synthetic nutes. Also cleaned up all of their skirts and nipped off any buds that will turn into larf. Plus a defoliation in the canopies. And they have all responded well, really stretching now and I’ve spotted a few trichomes already. So all swimmingly at the moment long may it continue. Thanks for reading, have a great week 😊

12/3 Week 10 Brandy being harvested in the AM Layla and Maggie got a PK 0-10-7 booster in 6.5 water @1 gal each still plenty of nuets in the pot just getting them all I can 12/4 Harvested Brandy numbers and pics also be in harvest week when others are done. Not bad for a little plant we did not give much hope of producing. Trics look good - Into the dry box as the tent is full. 206 Grams Wet *****UPDATE***** 12/8 78g dry *****UPDATE***** 12/10 tested 0.5g after decarb and yep all we could have wanted, sativa-ish with good legs. More later 12/5 Fed Maggie and Layla 1 gal each at 6.5PH 12.5ml/gal Soul Peak PK booster, foliar of full cal-mag at lights out just to be sure. Later Just as I hoped it sparked new hair growth, they standing up nice and pretty New plants in tent Quick foliar feed on Maggie, Cal-Mag 1 ml/qt 12/7 Last defoliation on Layla and Maggie just taking off the excess baggage and opening the air and light paths. Layla is definitely ripening but I think one more dose of PK perhaps if not just water. Decide tomorrow Maggie still aggressively building buds so she is absolutely getting more PK, remember there is Dr Earth in the pot so its not like she is being starved for other nuets. I think Maggie, being a sativa pheno, may go another two weeks. Layla has to stay until the drying tent is empty, not using the boxes unless I must. 12/8 0.75 gal ea @6.4 Peak PK 12.5ml/gal 12/10 Looking good still finishing off pics at lights out Tried to fix the nuet list , anything I dont use any longer or dry put to 0.01 dose. Want to be able to say some things about some of this stuff at harvest.

4/9/25 This plant is beyond frosty. Stacking up super nicely. Seems like she will yeild quite a bit. My only gripe is that she has like no smell at all. Using the foil as a soil cover is working quite nicely. the top soil is getting filled with roots quite well. Top dressed 1tsp of Bloom 1tsp microbe charge 1tsp bloom

Flush is on. A week or so I reckon. 90% of trichomes are already cloudy. The smell is so complex! The colors amazing! Can’t wait!

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Week 16 Harvest 17 th April 2020 This Entire feminised seed making and growing project was a very good learning experience for me. Right from the very start, when I successfully got a Cutting ,taken from a Barneys Farm Red diesel female plant to produce feminised pollen after treating it with a silver thiosulfate solution. I then used it to pollinate a Fastbuds Girl scout cookies auto plant and let it grow to maturity. This only produced 3 viable seeds one of which is the subject of this Diary. I made up the name "Ginger nut cookies" after a variety of cookies we have here in Australia that are made with ginger. They are the same colour as the distinct red hairs on the red diesel buds. And would you believe those same vivid red hairs were passed on to this plant so I wasn't too far off the mark with the strain name. Her flavour however is nothing like red diesel or girl scout cookies and infact as taken on a smell and aroma all of it's own. She has a lovely tropical fruit like taste and the smell is a bit like fruit yoghurt. It has an unreal after taste on the exhale and the lingering second hand smoke smells very sweet and enticing. She has a pretty well balanced high too not as potent as the GSC nor as energenic as the red diesel but just a pleasant mix of the two. It was a very easy to grow and undemanding plant that didn't seem to require a lot of extra feeding other than the 100% organic nutrients that were within the soil and a few things like compost teas etc. The other element of this diary was of course the weekly Aussie music videos That I provided the links for and put up a little video clip preview of each Artists song. Week 1 Dance Monkey Week 2 Gotye Week 3 AC/DC Week 4 INXS Week 5 Dire straits Week 6 Yothu yindi and Midnight oil Week 7 Divinyls Week 8 Was Request week where I asked growers to pick and because only 3 growers put in a request I decided to choose all three which were Kylie Minogue , Flume & Airbourne Week 9 Paul Kelly Week 10 Daddy Cool Week 11 Cold chisel Week 12 Jimmy Barnes Week 13 The Angels Week 14 Crowded House Hoodoo gurus Mental as Anything Week 15 Empire of the sun Big Pig , Silverchair , Peking duk Grinspoon , Hilltop hoods and the White stripes And Finally for the last lot of music videos I have chosen another multi list bonanza of Aussie Music with the artist/s name and Youtube link below. So in no particular order here are my last choices for this Diary its been a fun grow with a steep learning curve.

This is a great platform full of great growers and great people : 1: The End.......

Easy to grow. Fruity spicy very nice stone and made lots of edibles with this trimmings and have to watch out with dosing LOL.

Cette semaine 3 et 4 a été sans plus un seul bémol est que ma deuxième fille qui montrait nettement des nuances violettes sur ses pointes de têtes s’est cassé pendant un essai de LST, faute entièrement personnelle, j’assume néanmoins on continue avec quand même. La 2e s’est étiré un peu et a reçu parfaitement son LST et a même commencé à montré ses pistils de pré floraison donc on engraisse. Du coup on a profité de ces essai de LST sur les deux fifilles pour commencer les engrais BIO GROW & BIO TOP MAX et bientôt BIO BLOOM pour la phase complète de floraison. En attendant je vous laisse admirez les vidéos et photo, pas dans l’ordre mais celle en B&W est d’aujourd’hui ! 1 mois pile depuis sa mise en terre 👏🏾💯 ainsi que une petite WW de chez RQS que je développerais dans un autre agenda

It looks like this one is mutant I don’t know the other seed i popped looks the same

Water week but something crazy happened and I'm a little confused. I brought fem seeds but it looks like they wanted to flower on they own. If anyone could take a close look and tell me what you think. So I put them in the flower tent. So it's like it didn't have a full three weeks of veg.. Also what should I be feeding a seed to flower? Just bloom from this point on? Please help and thanks

Buenas a tod@s... Seguramente ya estamos en la ante última semana... Están espectaculares todos los frutos, tanto de esta variedad como las otras, muy muy pretos como rocas, delicioso aroma y muy grandes, han crecido una exageración en una semana, se nota que comieron bien, no hay queja de mi parte hacia este cultivo, este riego con nutrientes será el último, el próximo ya es de limpieza de raíces y lo de más ya sabemos...😉 En el próximo cultivo se vienen cosas nuevas... Mientras tanto... A disfrutar está última etapa... Siempre se disfruta haciendo esto q nos gusta, con dedicación, esfuerzo y trabajando duro siempre... A seguir creciendo 🧠😎🙌🏻. Buenos humos para tod@s nos vemos la semana q viene... 😎💀🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

CLONE PICS

Day 8 (2020-05-17): G14 is looking a bit lopsided with its weird conjoined twin leaf, but the second set is growing opposite so hopefully it will balance itself out. I spent some time today getting the grow tent cleaned out and ready to move these two in and am starting to setup the Blumats for 2 gallon fabric pots when I transplant. Day 9 (2020-05-18): Moved the plants to the tent where they will spend the rest of the grow. Waiting to transplant until roots have established a bit more. They are now under the Kolem 800W (120W actual) LED light, currently running around 35% power. Watered today. Day 10 (2020-05-19): Transplanted to the 2 gallon fabric pots today and installed the Blumats. Added Drip Clean into the nute mix. Increased the light to 60% due to the increased distance after losing the Solo cups. Day 11 (2020-05-20): Transplant seems to have taken and saw some nice leaf growth over the last 24 hours. Main stems are noticeably fatter, also. G14 is still looking wacky. Day 12 (2020-05-21): Not much to report. Things are still looking good and I guess the Blumats are doing there thing? Coco seems plenty moist after 2 days. Day 13 (2020-05-22): Still trying to dial in Blumats. Coco is starting to dry out. Day 14 (2020-05-23): Hand watered to get back to optimum moisture and made further Blumat adjustments. By the end of the day it looks things are stable and correct. The G14 seems to be doing fine despite looking a bit weird

One topping in the second week 👌 After slug… Mold 0% !!!!!

Week 5 Day 28 to 35 Faster and faster they happily grow! Only the black berry showed me coupe of spots on some couple of leafs but nothing serious.

Here we are guys starting week 2 of flower and this beauty is starting to pick up pace! Zamnesia Seeds again with strong genetics.. 💪 i haven't been exactly fragile with this young lady .. there has been some domestic disputes going on getting her ready for her pageant .. i'm just glad plants don't talk because if they did mine would call the cops lol .. I'm looking forward in the next week or two to introduce the plant to her new Plagron nutrients!!!!hope everyone is having fun in the contest and their plants are growing, according to their plans.. to everyone else, happy growing, and to all God bless 🙌 ✌️. Day 42: so today, I uploaded a quick video showing just how wide this girl is along with the picture to show that she is at least a couple weeks in flower.. i fed today silica, cal mag and for the very last time Maxibloom... from here on out, we will be using Plagron nutrients and I am very excited to see how my lady reacts to her new feeding... as you can tell, i've been training this girl to be wider than tall.. i have been using trainers to keep the canopy even versus super cropping, which essentially would do the same thing. But I don't want the plant to have to recover, especially when weeks 3 to 5 are the most important for bud building.. next update we'll be using Plagron for the rest of the grow.. good luck to have one new tournament. Everyone else happy growing ✌️

WEEK#9 DAY#56 :She could use some water . Easy going grow , slow vertical climb multi-lateral branching . I could selectively prune to encourage vertical growth but at this time I think the grow is going fine . I anticipated the plant being larger at this time athough I’ve never grown this strain before to know what to expect I think another 4-6 weeks of VEG will do her nothing but JUSTICE . Still watering to make those dry amendments available . After these 28-31 days we’ll transplant her into her final 6gallon pot . Or atleast I think that will be her final pot I see the benefit of stepping up pot size gradually and honesty think the growth is healthier when done that way I’m just being lazy and don’t feel like up-potting 3 or more times . I just wanna make small adjustments and move on ya know ? Week#9Day#56Update: 2/3 older girls showing signs of flushing, there’s heavy yellowing top of the plant & purple hues beginning to show. The two of them should have 3-4 weeks left & the buds have not even began to swell yet so I’m worried I missed my feeding time after I gave them nute burn beginning of flower so my fear is that my bud won’t swell & I’ve just jacked up my harvest the last half of flower. I’m going to try & get small amounts of nutes in there to help the bud develop without giving too much to mess up the end of flower flush . The final older girl isn’t showing any signs of flush it is the smallest of the 3 & therefore perhaps did not consume as much food as the other 2 girls is all I can think considering all three ladies soil came from the same batch of premixed “soil” they weren’t individually mixed It’s almost time to get these older girls out & get some note-worthy shots of “Cellie” growing All ALONE into this 5x5. Heavy heavy heavy defoliation. Will pony-tail when the fan leaves grow back out Week#9 Day#63 Update: started pony tailing her tops that are large enough to pin back without decapitating/severing the top . The top dress feeding I gave her still hasn’t become plant available yet. She’s still yellowing . I’ll be glad to see her park back up & continuing growing on. I purchased some worm castings I’ll top dress with a few tablespoons before watering her in & see if that perks her up until the Gaia Green is broken down. Shes almost tall enough to come down off that 1gall bucket even before transplant into a 6gal planter like the older girls finishing up .

Plants are getting too big for enough light coverage, so had to buy a second grow light. As noted before, the plant was getting out of hand and growing at many different heights making it difficult to set the optimum light distance. So, I went a little crazy and did some serious pruning (yes, during flowing, I know). Also trimmed off a number of fan leaves that were either beginning to yellow or were otherwise blocking valuable light from the many of the smaller buds. Fortunately my plants are very resilient and are finally at mostly equal heights now. Hindsight 20/20: I now have a better idea of how to route my plants using the ScrOG method. I found a well written blog that answered all the questions I had that other article didn't. Bottom line: Instead of allowing the main branches to grow through the netting and re-route the offshoots, I've found it's better to keep the main branches under the netting and allow the off-shoots to grow through instead. Think of it as the plant growing sideways.
