1st grow

Things seem to go on well for the Zamnesia genetics while a little sign of wind burn on Mimosa Cake as it was closer to the ventilation fan. Overall plants leaves seem to me kinda "dry". Deactivated the fan for now. Let's wait for some sort of take-off hopefully.

Ladies are slow (they should have been almost double the size, Mimosa even worse situation). I noticed the droopy leaves and realized I overwatered the soil, my bad.... In addition I also had a 30+ hours electric shortage. Trying to rescue the ladies decided to upgrade and stick at 20hs light schedule with increased air exchange to dry a bit, pause watering for a couple of days. Foliar sprayed some Nitrogen and L-amino acids and salicilic acid to boost immune system. Let's see....

Still paying the price for overwatering in first two weeks. Plants are very slowly drinking what was in the soil. I am going to water just a little today. It is very difficult to manage water when growing straight in big pot. Growing pace is slow but I decided to begin LST bending at the 4th node for Watermelon Candy and Dosidos. Mimosa is just simply not ready for it. Dosidos shows some brown tips and edges so I decided to increase the light distance in case it is light related and not a potassium deficiency. Let's see... Hope the coming week of veg can lead to a decent development.

Ladies are doing fine and I am satisfied with the outcome of LST so far. I was stuck with managing watering since plants aren't drinking much yet and so I decided to feed nutrients mainly by foliar spray applied daily just 15 mins before light on. Plants also appreciated the increased distance from the Mars TS1000 and crancked up the dimmer @ 75% now resulting plants centre spot PPFD of 400 (30 DLI average). Added the handmade Scrog frame (2" net spacing) which I keep veeery low to flatten and expose to even lighting. As it is my first grow I do not know what to expect with the streching phase coming next but I am afraid I will run out of space..... Do-si-dos and Watermelon Candy are showing the first signs of pre-flowering ;-) Mimosa Cake still chasing....1st run defoliation done at day 28. Gradually switching the nutes schedule the next waterings. Thanks for reading!!!

Flowering stage consolidated for Do-si-dos and Watermelon Candy whereas Mimosa Cake seems to be just kicking off. Working a lot to keep babies flat tough the stretching, if any, is yet to come. I keep tucking leaves, did just a minor defoliation once again, probably planning to make it again in 4-5 days. Tapering foliar spray to end along this week. I am expecting the plants to drink and get fed more consistently now on. Finger crossed!! Happy growing guys!!

Things go on at a slow pace. I say this because I've been expecting a little stretch that hasn't happened yet. I keep tucking leaves and make some minor defoliation where to me it appears strategic. I read, defoliation, following specific rules, can improve bud formation with a proper support to bud potency. let's see...Now plants are flat and in my opinion it is time to let each "cola" go free upwards and get fat. Unless I see a fast stretch in the coming days. The girls are very compact and sturdy. Mimosa still chasing. Do-Si- Dos is the biggest in size but the most sensitive to light. I would deliver more intensity to Watermelon and Mimosa but I have Do-Si-Dos bottle-neck. Really don't know what to expect but I am afraid yields won't be stellar 😅

49 day are now gone. Plants are still very small and compact. Plenty of beautiful little buds that are getting denser. Littel sugar leaves are beginning their milky sticky hairiness. No defoliation done. A generous plain watering today for them to drink and leak some saltiness and for me to measure run-off pH and EC. It was perfect. Happy so far about the growing experience!!! Enjoy growers!!

Buds are getting denser and the ladies are drinking more. Delivering some additional carbon and potassium through wood ash as a Ph+ as the solution was little bit acidic along with increased home made water soluble calcium eggshells vinager extraction. Plants confirm their blooming/ripening with Watermelon Candy leading by 5 days Dosidos leading Mimosa Cake by other 5 days. Now I have a couple of weeks to get an additional box dedicated to drying harvests at waves. Decided to cut the scrog and removed the rope. Now the babies are free to go and I can handle them much more effectively so I made a final defoliation like a make up and enjoy the ripening by rotating the plants and get some better ligh intake where it is more needed and let focal spots rest and alternate. Hi growers! Peace!

I think one more week to harvest Watermelon Candy. Dosidos and Mimosa Cake will follow as they appear a bit late. Nothing special to add, ladies are just fine and smell good 😉 coming soon

Week 10 gone and still uncertain about when to harvest as trichomes are still transparent. Mimosa is clearly not ready but Dosidos and Watermelon are getting closer, I’ll inspect along the following 3/4 days. Watering is now set on plain water. 🤞🏻 happy growing friends!

This week I keep cheking the ripening by shooting supermacros and analysing thricomes and pistils. Watermelom is the most compact yet the first ripen, denser and stickier with healthy leaves with no yellowing at all. Dosidos is bigger and well spread after the training but despite many buds (kinda violetish) they are really not as beautiful as Watermelon's. Mimosa is going on as it has always been late...I decided to try to speed up by reducing the hours of light (from 20 to 17) and the intensity mimicking autumn. As trichomes are getting milky soon I plan to harvest Watermelon and Dosidos next week. See ya 🙏 happy growing buddies!!

By splitting the grow box I keep going with the light and the Mimosa and ground floor a cardboard box hanging upside down. Put a fan to work as a vent to extract umidity from the inside of the cardboard box and a de-umidifier box but it is very difficult to keep RH below 68%. Mimosa is getting denser and I plan to crop her in max 5/6 days. Started to give plain water I have tested the run-off. It was within optimal range with 6.5 pH and 900 ppm TDS. Enjoy friends!!😉

By splitting the grow box I keep going on top shelf with the lights on/off serving the late Mimosa and ground floor harvested plants (Watermaelon Candy Automatic and Do-Si-Dos Automatic by Zamnesia) are hanging upside down inside a cardboard box. In such a setup I decided to put a fan working as an extracting vent pulling umidity from the inside of the cardboard box and a de-umidifier box. Despite all this it is very difficult to keep RH below 68%. As soon as I crop the late Mimosa who is getting denser day by day (possibly in 5/6 days) I will have all the room to dry in a larger and more stable and controllable space.

Waited for a good ripening, I just imagine what a bigger plant could do.... I can say that this overperformed the Zammi seeds just a bit. Bud very very beautiful plant!!! Let her dry now!! Thanks to those who passed by, I enjoyed very much this first attempt of growing and having fun with nature! Happy growing buddies!!!
