This is my first grow using mycorrhizal fungi. I used it in the water to germinate the seeds. The tap root came out much faster using mycorrhizal fungi spring water vs only spring water & paper towel method which I've previously used.
Some of the leaves have mild burning due to being treated with diluted neem oil during these last hour of lights-on to prevent bugs. Should've waited till lights-out to apply diluted neem. I thought 1hr of lights on won't do any damage, lesson learned.
2/3/22:
Watered with only aquarium water, no nutes.
They are all getting very thirsty! Sherbert was dry and droopy yesterday so I watered her yesterday. I watered all other plants today, they seemed mildly dry/very slightly droopy - so I gave them between a ½-¾ of a gallon each.
I'll have to keep a close eye on Sherbet she's very thirsty & she gets hangry easily! (hangry = droopy:)
Bud sites are becoming more pronounced. Many are already showing trichome crystals week 2 into flowering!
I'll have to continue to keep an eye & defoliate as needed to make sure all bud sites receive light.
I'm so excited I have a purple phenotype!
I've wanted one for the past year 💜
The flowers are coming along - putting that carbon filter to use 😁
*I hope I'm not infringing on any rules about the music video.
I'm very excited about a purple phenotype - I put some music on while updating my GD & this song started playing on YouTube autoplay. 🤣 I had to edit it & add it.*
They look like about another month on most of them. I'm interested in how big the buds will get, I'm used to having a big main cola instead of an even canopy.
The dirty aquarium water has been doing great through flowering so far, no nitrogen toxicity.
3/11/22 - Defoliated for the last time!
Defoliated so there's no moisture buildup between leaves, preventing PM. There were so many leaves, it looked pretty like a beautiful bush - but my intuition told me that those are going to hold too much moisture. Now there is enough space for the buds to fill out with even airflow throughout.
They don't look as beautifully full after defoliation but they'll be cleaner & easier to trim come the end of flower.
Aquarium water only:
6.82pH
395 PPM
73.4⁰F
Nutrients added:
5Tbsp unsulphured molasses
¼tsp raw potassium
¼tsp raw phosphorus
2Tbsp concentrate Seaweed
1tsp mycorrhizal fungi powder
Aquarium water after nutrients:
5.83 pH
787 PPM
73.4⁰F
These girls are smelling amazing!
I'm so excited about the purple Zkittlez phenotype! It's the dominant smell in the grow space.
I flushed each plant with pure filtered water @ 6.25pH
The smell is great, almost addicting to keep smelling the buds. Looking at the buds there are mild purple calyxes randomly throughout. It is a great body relaxing strain while keeping mental stimulation. You can still get up and do tasks but your body wants to keep pulling you back to sit down. Still mentally alert and creative.
I tried to update my star rating and it doesn't seem that I can adjust it after 1 hour of posting, so I'll updated it here...

She did hermie, my first one ever. It didn't start until later sometime in flowering. I inspect each plant 1 time per week, I only seen 2 spots where she threw male parts. Disappointing hermie.
I can't for sure say that this is a ILGM strain (so don't think if you buy this seed from them it'll hermie too). My cousin gave me this seed & told me it was Gold Leaf from ILGM... I have doubts it is GL after grow & harvest due to the other grows/pics/descriptions online because it looked nothing like other GL grows. I know phenos can vary but I believe ILGM to have quality steady genetics which shouldn't differ this much. I'll try more ILGM seeds in the future & I'll purchase them directly from them to be certain.
(I don't normally weigh wet bud, I feel dry is what counts - the excess moisture evaporates so it only shows how much water the bud was holding. So it makes weighing a task I have to do twice with multiple plants I feel it's unnecessary).
Moderately easy to grow, just another cannabis plant but she did start getting prettier near the end of flowering. She was 14 inches tall (LST) & had 52 bud sites. Trimming was pretty easy, not too many leaves.

Definitely nighttime bud, I'd say the best time to use it is about an hour before bed.
Get ready for extreme euphoria! Everything & I mean everything is 'the best' - my blanket was the softest blanket in the world, my bed was heaven etc...
Immediately after inhaling euphoria starts to kick in then it intensifies even further after a short time has passed. About an hour into it eyelids start getting heavy but I don't want to fall asleep because everything is incredible and you just want to stay and experience it forever!
Physical sensations were amazing, even the most basic sensations felt spectacular.
Extremely euphoric, the most I've ever experienced & I've tried hundreds of strains.
I was skeptical of this strain because of the mild smell and average looking flower - I mean it looks good but just basic looking homegrown flower, nothing special EXCEPT once you smoke it! BAM EUPHORIA LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER FELT!
The flower has only been curing for just over 2 weeks & it's smell has gotten slightly better, I'm hoping for it to continually intensify. But regardless this will be a go-to strain if I need a late night over the moon mood boost!
She was the thirstiest plant I've ever grown! Very sensitive to both waterings & being a little dry. She LST beautifully! I'd say the most beautiful LST out of this grow hands down for sure. Trimming - there were ALLOT of leaves, took a while!
(I don't normally weigh wet bud, I feel dry is what counts - the excess moisture evaporates so it only shows how much water the bud was holding. So it makes weighing a task I have to do twice with multiple plants I feel it's unnecessary. I also don't feel that measuring the dimensions of the room to get an accurate harvest is the way to go, I believe the dimensions of the plant would give you a true harvest ratio).
I only put 1sqft room because my plant was small, I'd estimate about one square foot in total? And I'm unsure of how to figure out the accurate dimensions of my plant.
Get your supports ready! The branches stay on the smaller side but the buds get big & heavy. Other than that it was a breeze to grow & smelled delicious. The most prominent smell in the grow space of this whole variety strain grow.
Waiting for harvest. Some are getting very close & some are taking their sweet time. I'm ready to see full harvest amounts after LST & keeping the girls this short.
Still waiting for trichomes to amber up⏳
This is a very enjoyable grow using LST. Much more time consuming but I enjoy gardening so it's great for me.
I'm excited to see harvest amounts with LST💚🤗
I've moved both Gelato & Younger Zkittlez into a colder dimly lit room to hopefully enrich their colors. I will be harvesting them in the next day or two.
I've moved the two remaining mother plants into the smaller grow tent to finish flowering & I moved the clones to the larger grow space finally!
