Hello Growmies, As we step into week 15 of flowering with our Northern Lights by Zamnesia, the journey gets more intricate and exciting. Let's delve into this week's updates: Our Northern Lights star is proving to be quite finicky, especially with nutrient uptake. I've observed signs of lockout whenever the EC (Electrical Conductivity) level rises above 1.7. Thankfully, the pH levels are stable, so no concerns there. After some experimentation, I believe we've found her sweet spot at an EC of 1.5. This delicate balance is key to maintaining her health and vigor. Despite the challenges, she continues to develop beautifully. The buds are light yet densely packed with trichomes, creating a spectacular frosty appearance. It's truly a sight to behold as they cake up all around, showcasing the plant's remarkable genetic potential. One consequence of the recent nutrient lockouts is chlorosis, leading to a significant loss of leaves. It's a delicate phase where careful monitoring and adjustments are crucial to minimize further stress on the plant. The tent is now filled with a very sweet aroma, a delightful sign of the maturing buds. This scent not only signifies the quality of the buds but also adds an extra layer of enjoyment to our growing experience. Your continuous engagement and feedback are what make this journey so special. I look forward to reading your insights, questions, and tips. Your shared passion and knowledge are invaluable in navigating these complex stages of growth. Don't forget about the special discount code ZAMMIGD2023 at Zamnesia's online store. It's a great way to connect with fellow growers and enjoy quality products. Thank you for being with me on this adventure. Your support is a huge part of what makes this experience so rewarding. Stay tuned for more updates as we carefully guide our Northern Lights towards a successful harvest. Here's to healthy growth and aromatic buds!

2/4: Photo session day! The big one is growing a few inches per day..that shit needs to stop soon or I'll have to supercrop her lovely branches.. Soooperunt is now as tall as the second sister, but not as bushy. All three are slow to flower, like the #11's. I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.😁 2/5: I fed everybody today with about 3/4 gallon each and sprayed them down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time this run. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls are a much darker shade of green than anybody else in the garden. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: I'm only seeing a few pistils popping here and there on these girls. I expected them (and the other mostly indica strains) to be moving along faster at this point. Not sure if they are happy with such a short nap every day.. I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom today. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's warmer than 72f outside, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.🙏 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

I had to take a big decision. I know it is not good it is way too hot in the tent but needed to remove from my garden because of some reasons. Firstly, illegal which is fine but I do not want to take a risk for 3 g of harvest. She should start flowering in autumn when less sun and weather is basically shitty here in London it is okay to grow but when starts flowering.... so I planted an auto and saw that it wont yiled good so I was thinking what will happend to my Zkittlez in autumn when mush less sun and weather is going down. So realised I can have a 2-3 m plant but it ain't gonna flower just a bit. Soni decided to put under artificial light but it is summer my plants are suffering in the tent. Inhave no choice I will try to manage maximum I will cut back. Hopefully all goes ok. Day 86: Fucked up she was totally wilt I removed all the leaves basically the stalk left only..... she will be okay

Starting next Thursday there will be potential new owners touring the property. It's still a bit early but I'm going to flush now and harvest next week. I think we're close enough. The buds are sticky and smell great. These ones aren't really fattening up that much but they look delicious. It would definitely have been nice to have both plants the same size so they could both benefit from the optimal light distance.

Original sensible seeds Girl scout coookies 27th Jan 2020 No preflowers on her that I can spot , but she is starting to stretch a little. She is a funny structured plant . Has long branches but doesn't seem to have a lot of foliar coverage. It almost has a skeletonal look to it . But if those branches form into buds I dont really care how she looks to be honest. Stem rubbing releases a very pungeant aroma that gives me hope of some Good Shit coming . This week I decided to give her the same cup full of Bud and bloom soil amendment as the already flowering girls received as I'm sure it won't be too far behind them. I also gave her some of the High tea i brewed up for 24hours. Checked Ph with the bluelab soil probe and it's still sitting on 6.5 so no worries there. Thanks for checking in on my update Catch ya next week. 👍

This is the beginning of week 3 in bud. I’ve decided to not put the ATF plant in my bud room this round. I’m hoping she will just keep growing slow and my clones will eventually catch up with her so they can all go in together next round. The buds have definitely starting to swell up this past week. They all seem to have bounced back from their week 2 lollipopping. I’m very excited for this Melato in the back. She’s obviously outgrown the other 2 strains I have in the room currently. She’s also started throwing off the most smells as well. With some really strong indica OG gas smells. But other than that, everything normal this week. Just plain PHed water every other day. Thanks for checking out the garden. 🤙

Day 71 - Ripening has begun a. pumped out the DWC, and changed for Ripen formula b. we will ripen for 2 weeks, then we will flush! c. her buds are really making large cones, i think they are reaching hard for the light d. stigmas are about 40% orange, 75% light intensity, still 16 hours on, will move to 14 next week Day 72 - gaining weight a. her buds are starting to flower all over them. b. the stigmas are turning colors, she is ripening nicely c. the smell is good, but am running lower intensity lights as not to burn the terpenes Day 73 - still drinking 6L a day! a. she is really ripening up, I will continue to push the ripen, buffering with fresh water to maintain 1000ppm in the pool b. Her trichomes are about 80% milky, 5% amber and the rest clear still, will wait until I see very few clears left, and not too many ambers, this is where experience comes in. Get a good jewelers loup or a microscope. I will start scoping my buds over the next 2 weeks. stay tuned for the updates. Day 74 - getting big a. weight is piling on this plant b. her buds are going all the way down the branch c. will pump out DWC for fresh ripen (: Day 75 - fresh Ripen - 4L gone a. she is still consuming 4-5L a day, not all the way matured b. looking like about 50% stigmas have turned brown Day 76 - more resin a. resin keeps being produced, some of the buds are dripping with resin b. 4L gone over night from the DWC, this plant loves the TA FinalPart/GHE Ripen Day 77 - Ripen change a. pumped out the DWC, replaced with 900ppm Ripen 5ml/L b. the resin is still in high production, will let Ripen run 1 more week, then flush!

I would have let her go for another week but the other plant was more than done and I had no other drying space left. Amazing grow, should be a solid harvest and the buds smell and looks amazing. Very sweet, creamy and gassy artificial cherry terps. Very excited how they smell and taste after drying and curing!

Hey there! I’ve only just started using this site and I’m halfway through this grow so I’ll try and fill in the veg and early flower up until this point. This girl really is on auto pilot. She’s just getting bigger everyday with some really good resin production so early I’m really optimistic that this will be a great harvest. 🙌🏼 She’s a really decent size and has responded incredibly well to LST in Veg. The only defoliation I have done up till this point is if bud sites are covered. Any pointers are always greatly appreciated.

Things are getting frosty around here! Critical Cures are at the top of the class. Critical Mass is in second. Charlotte's Angels are in third. Durga Mata is in fourth, with Blue Shark rounding out the pack as far as blooms are concerned, and how far along they are. This week I used the last of my "Tiger Bloom" and "Big Bloom" and I didn't feel like buying more, so I started making compost tea! It comes from my pile that consists of kitchen scraps, horse, chicken and sheep manure. They seem to be liking it. I also gave them a little nitrogen foliar spray this morning. I've had to spray insecticidal soap twice this week. Smells so fragrant out there, it's attracting a lot of bugs. I sent a pic of one of the Critical Cure's to a friend of mine saying "Not long now!" (As in like 3-4 weeks on this particular plant) to which he replied: "You've still got 6-7 weeks!" No, just no. Same guy also told me my plants would be 8 ft high. Ha! Silly boys.

Male plants have no place in the garden, as I have no need for reg pollen. You got fem pollen, hit me up looking at you @greenmachine. I am saddened by the sudden loss of this cultivar, but I will press on, never bitter, never looking back. I kill these plants off camera to keep it PG. Thanks for following the diary. And hey, thanks to @416fireman for starting and monitoring this contest. May not be here anymore, but I hope he checks in. Catch him on insta @416firemang
