So firstly I would like to thank James of royal queens for sponsoring these seeds after I told him what happened he didn't hesitate to offer me and send me 5 x blue gelato seeds and also blessed me with an Rqs nutrition pack with starters too! So thank you so much! Then I somehow won a giveaway on Instagram that allowed me to be blessed with the growers choice watermelon weddingcake! So thank you discount cannabis seeds! Then a gromie offered me some beans as I had none and blessed me with these beautiful iced grapefruit which one has popped but sadly one didn't so had to pop another but went straight into the soil starter for her! So thank you so much @kush_queen_grows Ill also be able because of another gromie be able to run some selections as I'm getting sent a good few strains from them too so will keep me going while I replace my equipment and plan towards my son's bday! So thank you honestly so so much @jef79 as you didn't even need to make this offer to me and popped up and gave me such a nice message made me feel worth something on the planet, you've all moved me in alot of ways! Youve all helped me come from a dark place and I hated how I felt and now I am with a plan growing medicine again as it is more than just medicating, it's the passion behind the training and monitoring the girls making sure they have the best you can offer them in return they give you back the love you put in! It's such a great feeling when you inhale something you've grown and it's hitting you more than anything you've paid for! That there is what I can't wait to be back doing! Again thank you for all who have helped me I can't thank you enough! 😇 I truly can't! About this grow; I aim to grow each strain 1 with rqs nutes and the other with zamnesia nutes! Using dynomyco along the way for both during transfers! And as a slight mix into the substrate too! (Works wonders) 🔥💯 will be interesting to see what comes from this! I'll veg them for a while in the tent im using now as I'm yet to order my fc-e3000 which I will do end of the month along with all I need for it! (Fans - extractor) along with maybe 100m or 90cm tent #ummawwww not sure yet I have time to think 🤔 I am on a budget where I have my son's bday so got to be thoughtful with what I can spend as he comes first by far! I am definitely aiming to impress with all my future grows as I lost a little part of me so imagine the love im about to give these girls! I start my diaries when the seeds have popped up so I can update every exact 7 days from start and track them using grow diaires, e g 7 days from now will be 7 days old for the babies (watermelon weddingcakes both up, blue gelato one up and iced grapefruit also one up so see how start dates may vary but...) Equals 1 week old for the eldest and I document the age on the pics details in order to keep everyone clear on the age of my plants whilst making it clear what I do and how I do it! So be sure to follow this one closely as it will be the best B2B comparison I've created for myself happy

So a great start for my babygirls l 😊 I continue to keep the humidity at around 65-70% whilst keeping the top soil wet every morning! One watermelon weddingcake is a little slower than the other and the second iced grapefruit is 3 days behind her sister and blue gelato.... Well had to germinate 2 other seeds, 1st did not germ, 2nd germed but did not grow past the catolydons so today after germinating in a glass of water I have potted another but will be my last attempt before the comparison must go on! 😜 Once I transfer them I'll be adding RQS nutrition to one of each and monster bud mix to each of the others! Will be using the tqs booster with rqs and zamnesia boosters with monster bud mix! Will be interesting to say the least! And of course I will be using dynomyco in the medium and transfers! It's always a bonus to add dynomyco! Remember they have a contest and all it takes is a little paragraph on why you should be chosen so get involved! You will love the results!

So had no luck with the re germination of the blue gelato but the first one is doing ok! Not what I would of liked as her and watermelon weddingcakes are on the slow side, watermelon weddingcakes waaaaay slower! Must have been old seeds or something! But all others are doing great and I've decided to germinate a few more as I have the doctors choice Cali crasher to rest and gelato cake by ganja farmer for the contest! So will be a great run and plenty of variety! The blue gelato has been lollipopped too and I topped both iced grapefruits!

Been a great week! I've topped both ladies, one sooner than the other as it's younger by 3-4 days! I've trimmed off a few leaves too but from here I won't need to top anymore (even though I can) and can allow them grow onwards to when I transition! I will be growing these in the 120 x 60 under the TSL2000 ALONGSIDE another 4 I've started! And I hope they have zero problems germinating as I started a few using the heat mat and it seems to cook them so I won't be in a rush to use that in the future at all! But stay tuned for these girls as I'll be doing one organic and one synthetic!

These girls are truly outstanding, i have topped the elder girl again on her mains and i will do the other one in a few days as i had to wait for them to set into their new pots! I continue to keep the ties to the top of the first node adjusting daily to make sure the under branches are level to canopy! Will let them grow until the 500ml feed becomes daily and then transfer them to their final pots! The organic girl has truly taken off but closely behind is the synthetic girl and she's 3-4 days behind the first one as the one of the first 2 seeds didn't germinate so i had to germinate the third!

These 2 are doing amazingly! The synthetic one is close behind as she’s 3 days younger! But the Zamnesia nutrient one is showing so Much vigor! These are going to veg for a while until my others are done and then I’ll switch over into the flower tent when my others are done!

Great week! Transfered the synthetic into a bigger pot just waiting for it to root a little better before giving a full feed, avoiding any over watering in the process which wouldn’t even be a problem anyway as these are to grow the whole time the others bloom in my 3’ x 3’ loving their shape so far and will top the other side and bring out the under branches! But steady streaky as we go!

Honestly I have zero complaints with my babies! Growth is exactly where I want it to be and transfer went well as they’ve already started to root down inside their new home! I’ve removed the other one (synthetic) and is in the outdoor but I have took many cutting from her so will be using the whole tent when it comes to bloom rather than move over to the 90 x 90 😊

So after topping all single heads into doubles she outgrew her space for me to continue the autos and other young plants in there so as the weather is aiding I took her out and out her in my room near the window and she is loving it! She’ll remain there for now as the females in bloom finish and then I’ll trim her down a little and place her in with the clones by then and bloom all together is the plan! And the clones are an amazing size so should be like 3-4 weeks ahead with them when they root and I’ll transfer them into 12l pots too! Even the outside other plant has set in and started to really grow! Even after her trim she has so much re growth

Best week for it is this one! 😉 as for the other, welllllll that will bloom when it will bloom! Cuttings are not as yet rooting but only been 14 days so expecting from here some action from them clones!

Due to my mysteries herming I have made a drastic change! I have placed my other females earlier than planned into the bloom tent (today) and put the g’fruit in there too even though she is a week into transition! Now I have full stable genetics in my tent makes me so happy! No more mysteries no seeds from 3rd parties just back to normal! 😊

Great week! I’m basing the main heights off this one and had my other girls raised and lowering as they come into bloom! She is developing her flowers amazingly but has stopped her stretch! This plant was transitioned manually in the garden during the great melt of England lol but had some circumstances so had to remove my other females clean the tent spray resolva bug spray and let her get on inside under the FCE

So here we are day 24 in bloom! My new girls have started to climb above this beauty now and are off their raises and I feel I may have to start raising this one if they continue to stretch any more! As I have to keep the light at 18” running through my tests of the light! Because I did 12” last grow and ran into light intensity problems and as of yet am I to experience any problems and I hope I literally make it through without any 😊 she’s all organic too which is a treat when it comes to flushing! I do flush for 2 weeks when the pistols turn 60-70% orange! Seems to be the perfect time I’ve been used to and worked! Then I look at the trichromes for perfect harvest! Just know she smells so good already just open the tent and smell her sweet grapefruit terps coming through strong! And her flowers and going to be huge as I’m not yet half way through and look at the growth! I do prefer growing organic and am transitioning towards growing fully organic! All I know is this Zamnesia stuff is incredible! Along side bionova! It’s simple and productive!

So I decided not to add Vitosol in her last feed as I thought I may have started it a little soon but nope should of and will continue to use it because as soon S I took it from the feed bottom leaves dried up as it sucked all the juice it needed from itself down there! But I won’t let that be a thing! Tomorrow I will get back to schedule and not fear lol and her aromas are one of a kind smelling sweet and dank can’t wait to medicate with this one! She’s special

Such a beautiful plant! She’s fully developed and finishing off her flowers now! Swelling everyday and naturally fading! She’s drinking a lot slower now too so I checked her under the loupe and all trichromes are cloudy so I’m sure she’ll finish at 8 weeks! She’s currently on week 6 and 3 days in bloom! So In her 7th week! I’ll continue to follow the requirements to bionova and then flush once!, as I said I’ll check her under the loupe! Smells like it’s going to be full of terps! I just open the tent and smell her! Fantastic strain!

So here we are the final week! She's 7 weeks and 3 days into bloom and is finishing up covering herself in beautiful trichomes! She smells so delicious! The grapefruit is so potent on it! I've started feeding her water for her last week as she's in it, but have reflected the diary to show what I fed in the week building to here! It's going to be a great yield! All nugs are so dense and I'm awaiting the trichromes to turn more amber they're transitioning now! So she's days away from the snip snip! I'd say perfectly at 8 weeks shell be done! I almost missed a feed too literally at the brink and quite luckily she sucked away her fan leaves and they literally got to just fall off with a little shake so minus a later time #bonus! May try it again take a risk on my next ones just before flush!

Great outcome considering I had her outside and manual transitioned into bloom! Then decided she can go in the tent! She was sturdy all the way through! Impressive strain! Smells so lush! Will be drying in brown paper bags! (My usual) I love her pinky purple fades! She did so well I have zero complaints! Recommend her to anyone!
