Welcome to a new diary, again on a Kannabia seed and again with the complete product line of Green Buzz Nutrients. The last grow in this combination was simply spectacular, and now I'm trying to apply and improve on what I learned there. Many thanks to both my sponsors!
To save time, I germinated the seeds outside the grow box. They were placed directly in riot root cubes surrounded by pumice. After 5 days where I admistered the above nutrients mixture, they germinated and now stay for a while in this simple grow tray I normally use for lettuce until my grow box is free again.
Since I have only space for one plant, I will have to give one of them to my friend eventually. I just wanted to make sure that I will have at least one germinated seed in time. My goal is to finish two grows until August. I hope this one will be as fast as advertised.

Green Buzz Nutrients are organic nutrients, micro elements, plant aids and stimulators. They cater directly to the needs of cannabis growers, and I noticed that the company is highly evaluated in German grow shops. I applied their products in my last grow with great results and am curious how it will turn out this time.

Kannabia let me choose 4 of their strains, and this time I try out their Zkit Kandy Dream Auto. Its description on their site says:
"As you can imagine, the taste of this autoflowering marijuana seed is very, very sweet, exciting at the same time. Think of those fruits that are not eaten daily, like mango or grapefruit, a little unripe to make them acidic and refreshing. Its smoke is dense and the aroma on the palate is very durable.
Zkit Kandy Dream Auto effect is still indica dominant, but in its autoflowering version we must say that it can also be the beginning of a great adventure or a great creation. It has a 19% THC level, so you’ll notice."
Let's go!
I prepared my usual wick system in the 20l bucket. The soil is the Biobizz light mix, with some pumice mixed in. I added layers of GBN Living Organics:
"Living Organics consists of trichoderma and bacterial fungal strains which upgrade your soil life. As a result, plants can process more nutrients and have a higher resistance towards environmental stress."
Also, I added nematodes before planting my seedling because the pesty little flyes are everywhere at the moment. 😬
My two seedlings are doing very well and I am contemplating putting both of them in the 20l pot. They would steal light from each other but the yield might still be bigger than with a single plant? I've seen such examples here on GD.
But even though the yield might be bigger, I actually prefer reading diaries that get the most out of one single plant. I'll decide and repot tomorrow. Suggestions are welcome!
Day 9: Decided to go single plant.

All is well. I hurt her two first leaves a little when I tried to clean them in the first week. She took the replanting like a champ. As for now, she gets minimal fertilizer but many enhancers, like the Fast Plants spray every second day before the lights go out. (Learned that the hard way.) I can't say that I am capable to rate it myself, but people more knowledgeable than me regard that spray very highly.
Day 18: Cut off the growth tips on the lower 2 nodes.
Nearly in pre-flower, the first pistils are there. She's strong but tiny. I don't know why I always produce dwarfs. I suspect it has to do with my light. But there is still some hope: From yesterday to today she grew about 5cm.
Day 33: light defoliation of the leaves on the round. Gnats are completely gone! 🎉
Strong, green, lush and... small! But she's growing. Slowly slowly. It's difficult to do LST because even newly emerging branches are thick and hard to bend. It's a pleasure to see her thrive every day.

No big changes, although she is growing and starting to smell nicely. Some defoliation, I think my lst efforts are coming to an end.
Day 45 - first trichomes are forming
Buds are growing only a little bit, mostly they are ripening now. I guess we have about 1-2 weeks left.

Getting frostier, trichomes still clear in about half of the cases. Decreased the MorePK as by SlowpokeFuegobud 's advice. Thank you!
And I'm heading for the Mary Jane canna fair now, hope to see some of you there! 😁🥦🎶
My love for Kannabia is only growing! I'm really looking forward to try more of their seeds. I got to test the THC of the Purple Dream strain at last week's canna fair and it had 23%!
This plant is still ripening and looking very well. The buds are very compact, heavy and full of trichomes that are slowly turning opaque. The smell is not strong, which suits me quite well at the moment. I need a new air filter soon.
This plant was hard as wood in the end, including the buds. I swear, I even hurt my skin on one of them! Never had I buds as hard and compact as this. I am very curious how much the weight will change after drying.
The plant stayed relatively small, but since this happens to all my plants except for one, I am inclined to think it is because of my cheap lamp. Someday I want to buy something decent.
@kohlrabi, Hello! 😊
If you have enough space LST will give you higher yield. But if space is less, topping is also a good option and the plant will not branch as much.

There's no need to use more than 1 sticker, they cannot be used to fight the gnats. Just to indicate if there are any. If you don't react you will have thousands of gnats soon. 💚 💨 I order nematodes once or twice per grow.
@kohlrabi, ok sounds like you got this! 💪 they can be really nerve wrecking! i have them in all pots atm.. ordered nematodes for the house plants as well now. for worst case you can get culinex, that's actually to kill mosquito larvae but helps with gnats in the pots as well!! it's really a year for them gnats i guess!
@SlowpokeFuegobud, already watered twice with nematodes this grow. I have another big pot with a house plant that was infected heavily and just try to catch some of the adult flyes this way. More nematodes are already ordered. It was never as bad as this time. 😵💫
Try increasing the distance between your lamp and the plant. Maybe around 60 cm and reduce the distance as it is reaching the height you want. Growing tutorials and blogs on the internet are very helpful but in practice each plant is a world unto itself 🌱✨
We hope we have helped and do not hesitate to contact us if you need any support 😊
Good luck and happy growing!

From Kannabia we want to congratulate you on the great work you have done with our "princess" 👸.
It’s been nice to see her grow up every week 😍, congratulations! 🎉 Kannabia Team🧡💚
