wolfvb π± The RS11 Project Begins! | Ganja Farmer Seedbank Test Run π
Whatβs up, GrowDiaries fam! π Super excited to kick off this very special diary.
I've been given an amazing opportunity to participate in an exclusive project alongside the Canna Community Germany and Ganja Farmer Seedbank. This isn't just a regular grow; it's a comparative test run!
The Mission
Ganja Farmer has provided two different variants of their RS11 (Rainbow Sherbet) Variant B and Variant C. The goal is to grow them side-by-side to see which genetic line performs better. This specific diary will be dedicated to documenting RS11 (B).
Iβm giving this run my absolute 100%. I know how much trust breeders put into testers, and I'm fully committed to seeing this through to harvest and providing top-notch documentation for the community. π€
The Setup & Game Plan βΊβοΈ
Breeder: Ganja Farmer Seedbank
Strain: RS11 (Rainbow Sherbet) - Variant B
Medium: Plagron Cocos Premium
Environment: Starting Indoor (Tent) β‘οΈ Moving Outdoor
Current Status: Direct to Medium! π§
For germination, I'm keeping it natural and going straight into the medium! The seeds have been planted directly into the starter Cocos small pot.
Just like my game plan for the Khalifa Kush, I'm going to start these ladies safely inside the tent. Once they've built up a strong root system and the Berlin weather finally warms up and stabilizes, they'll be making their big transition outside to soak up the real sun.
Huge shoutout to the Canna Community and the reps for trusting me with these beans. Letβs show them what we can do!
Drop a follow, pull up a chair, and let's get growing! πΏπ¨

wolfvb Whatβs up, GrowDiaries fam! π Welcome to Week 1 of the RS11 Project! π
We have liftoff! π± The RS11 (Variant B) from Ganja Farmer Seedbank has officially broken ground. As you can see in the pictures, she popped straight out of the Cocos with zero issues. She shed her shell like a champ, her cotyledons are looking super green, and those tiny first true leaves are already starting to show!
The Environment & Game Plan βΊβοΈ
Right now, sheβs chilling safely inside the tent under the LED. The main goal for this week is just to let her settle in and start building up a strong, healthy root system. Iβm keeping the coco moist but being super careful not to overwater just giving her exactly what she needs to thrive right now. π§
Since this is an exclusive comparative test run, Iβm keeping a close eye on her daily vigor to see how she stacks up against Variant C! So far, she's looking incredibly healthy and determined. Sheβs going to stay protected in the tent until she's strong enough and the Berlin weather finally warms up enough for her big move outdoors.
Huge thanks again to the Canna Community Germany and Ganja Farmer Seedbank for trusting me with these genetics. π€ Let's see how much she grows this week!
Thanks for stopping by! Drop a like, pull up a chair, and let's get growing! πΏπ¨

wolfvb What's up, GrowDiaries fam! π Welcome to another brand new diary! If this setup looks a little familiar, it's because this is R.S. 11 "B" (Rainbow Sherbert #11), and yep... she suffered the exact same fate as her sister! π€£π
I got completely carried away during the Khalifa Kush transplanting session and moved this little lady into her massive forever home way ahead of schedule, too.
πΏ Development & Structure:
Just like her sister, she is tiny and looks absolutely swallowed up by this giant fabric pot! She is just working on her early sets of true leaves. I've got a little piece of garden wire acting as a kickstand near her base to keep her steady in the breeze. Right now, her only job is to stretch that little taproot out and explore that vast ocean of substrate. It's a big world down there for a little seedling!
π§ Nutrient & Water Log:
You can see some fresh water droplets on her leaves from a recent misting/light drink. π¦ Just like with the other RS11, the name of the game right now is extreme watering discipline. Because the pot-to-root ratio is so off right now, I have to be incredibly careful to only water in a small ring around the base of the stem. If I soak the whole pot, she'll just drown in a swamp. Precision is key!
βΊ Environment & Health:
Honestly, she is taking the premature move like an absolute champ! The leaves are a bright, vibrant green, and she's perking right up toward the light without any signs of transplant shock. She's got some older, heavily-trained tent-mates nearby (you can spot one in the background!) to keep her company while she settles in.
It'll take some patience for her to grow into these giant shoes, but once she establishes her footing, I know she is going to take off!
Let me know what you guys think of my double early-transplant excitement in the comments! π Happy growing and stay frosty! π²π₯

wolfvb π± Week 3: RS11 (B) is Bushing Out & Gaining Strength! π
What's up, GrowDiaries fam! π Welcome to Week 3 of the RS11 Project!
The RS11 (Variant B) from Ganja Farmer Seedbank is absolutely crushing it this week. As you can see in the photos, she is loving the Plagron Cocos Premium and is developing incredibly nicely.
Growth & Development πΏ
She has put on some serious leafy growth over the past week! The internodal spacing is super tight, giving her a beautiful, compact, and bushy structure. The color on the fan leaves is a vibrant, healthy green, and those new shoots are reaching up towards the LED perfectly. Iβve added a small wire at the base of the main stem to anchor her getting everything prepped and stable just in case I decide to start some Low Stress Training (LST) soon.
Environment & Feeding βΊπ§
Sheβs still thriving in her indoor tent environment. I'm keeping the BioBizz and Plagron nutrient schedule dialed in, and the coco is holding the perfect moisture levels. Her root system must be getting massive because she is drinking well and showing absolutely zero signs of stress or deficiencies.
The Master Plan βοΈ
She is getting stronger by the day, building up that thick stem to handle the great outdoors. The Berlin weather is slowly getting better, and we are right on track for her eventual move outside!
So far, Variant B is proving to be incredibly vigorous. I can't wait to see how she compares to Variant C as we get deeper into the vegetative stage.
Huge shoutout to the Canna Community Germany and Ganja Farmer Seedbank! π€ Let me know what you guys think of her progress in the comments!
Happy growing, everyone! βοΈπ¨

wolfvb π± RS11 (Variant B) Update: Short, Stocky, and Bushing Out! π₯¦
What's up, GrowDiaries fam! π Following right up on her stretching sister, let's take a look at how the RS11 (Variant B) from Ganja Farmer Seedbank is doing this week!
If Variant C is the tall sister, Variant B is definitely the short and stocky one! It is so cool to watch these different phenotypes express themselves side-by-side in the exact same environment.
Growth & Structure πΏ
She is staying incredibly low to the ground and just packing on the foliage. The internodal spacing is super tight, giving her a very classic, dense, bushy structure. The new growth coming out of the top is aggressive, with those heavily textured, crinkly leaves showing just how vigorously she's pushing out new plant mass. She is a little powerhouse!
Health & Vigor β¨
She has a beautiful, deep green color across the canopy. You can see a few tiny character marks on some of the older, lower fan leaves, but the new growth is coming in thick and full of life. She is rooted deeply in that Plagron Cocos Premium fabric pot and drinking down her nutrient mix without skipping a beat.
Looking Ahead π
Because she is growing so dense, the next step for this pheno might be some gentle defoliation or strategic leaf tucking. Getting some airflow and light penetration down into the center of that bush will be key to making sure all those hidden lower tops get a chance to reach the canopy layer!
Huge thanks again to the Canna Community Germany and Ganja Farmer Seedbank for this awesome pheno hunt! π€
Happy growing, everyone! βοΈπ¨

wolfvb π± RS11 (Variant B) Update: Hitting 33cm & Prepping for the Great Outdoors! βοΈ
What's up, GrowDiaries fam! π Welcome back to another update on the RS11 (Variant B) from Ganja Farmer Seedbank!
Things are getting exciting this week because the master plan is finally coming together. The Berlin weather is looking up, and we are getting ready for a major transition!
Update: 27.4
She and her sister with the Khalifa Kush got evected today to the balcony to start their new life .
Measuring Up & Veg Vigor ππΏ
I grabbed the folding ruler for this update, and as you can see, she is sitting right around the 33-34cm mark! She has stretched out beautifully from her early stocky phase and is building a fantastic, sturdy frame. The stem thickness is spot on, and her foliage is a vibrant, healthy green. She is definitely soaking up all the energy she can before the big move.
The Great Outdoor Migration π€οΈ?
With the temperatures finally rising and the sun making a proper appearance, the time has almost come! Both Variant B and her sister are going to be moving out of the tent and into the great outdoors very soon. I've been making sure their root systems and main stalks are strong enough to handle the natural breeze and outdoor elements, and they are looking more than ready.
Tent Guardian Duties πΆπ·οΈ
Of course, the tattooed baby doll is still holding it down in the fabric pot, making sure no pests mess with her before she heads outside! π
I can't wait to see how she responds to real, natural sunlight. Do you guys think she'll stretch even more once she gets outside? Let me know in the comments!
Happy growing, everyone! βοΈπ¨

wolfvb πΏ RS11 "B" - Stretching Out & Looking Strong! βοΈπ―ββοΈ
Moving right along to the sister plant! Just like "C", RS11 "B" is loving her time outside on the patio and is showing some fantastic vegetative growth.
π The Details / Progress Report:
Structure & Stem: She has a beautifully clean lower stalk and is showing some serious vertical stretch! The internodal spacing is great, and looking up from the bottom, you can see sheβs building a really strong, supportive framework of lateral branches reaching for the sun. β¬οΈ
Top Canopy Health: If you look at that top-down macro shot, the new growth at the apex is incredibly vibrant. We've got beautifully textured, bright light-green leaves pushing out, and they are praying perfectly upward toward the light. ππΏ
Foliage Details: The larger fan leaves are a nice, deep green. I did notice a tiny bit of edge wear/light yellowing on the tips of a couple of the middle leaves nothing major at all, just a classic sign of pushing nutrients to the max or a little bit of outdoor wind/element wear and tear. Overall, she's super healthy!
π§ Next Steps:
Both sisters are clearly enjoying their environment and are on a serious vertical mission right now. I'm just going to keep up with the current feed, let her keep soaking up these outdoor rays, and watch those branches fill out.
Let's keep it growing! π±π¨

wolfvb πΏ RS11 "B" - Midnight Flash! πΈπ
Welcome to Week 7! Following in the footsteps of the Khalifa Kush, I had to get some nighttime flash shots of RS11 "B". There is just something about the camera flash in the dark that makes these fan leaves look incredible!
π The Details / Progress Report:
Foliage & Texture: The close-up shots of these fan leaves are absolutely stunning. The flash perfectly highlights the deep ridges, prominent veins, and heavy serrations. She is sporting a beautiful, rich, dark green color across the main canopy. πβ¨
New Growth: In that third photo, you can see the flash lighting up the new growth at the apex like a bright neon green starburst! She is actively pushing out new nodes and reaching upward.
Overall Health: Looking at the full-body shot, she has a great, natural structure going. There is a tiny bit of natural wear and tear (crispy edges) on a couple of the very bottom, older leaves, which is completely normal for an outdoor plant as she focuses all her energy into that explosive top growth.
π§ Next Steps:
She is clearly thriving on the patio and loving her current feed. For this upcoming week, the plan is simply to let her keep doing her thing, soaking up the daytime sun, and building out that vertical structure.
Let's keep it growing! π±π¨

wolfvb πΏ RS11 "B" - Lush and Loving the Sun! βοΈ?
Moving on to RS11 "B"! Just like her balcony mates, she is absolutely loving life outdoors right now and putting on some fantastic vegetative growth.
π The Details / Progress Report:
Canopy & Growth: Looking at the top-down shots, she has built a beautiful, full structure. The new growth at the apex is vibrant, bright green, and praying slightly upward, showing she is perfectly happy with her environment. πΏ
Foliage Health: The main fan leaves are sporting a gorgeous, deep, dark green color with heavily textured veins and sharp serrated edges. She looks incredibly robust and healthy.
Natural Progression: You can spot a bit of natural wear and slight fading on those very bottom, oldest leaves. This is completely normal for an outdoor run she is simply shedding the old growth that isn't getting much light and pushing all her energy straight up into that explosive top canopy. πβ‘οΈβ¬οΈ
π§ Next Steps:
She is doing fantastic on the current schedule and adapting perfectly to the balcony life. The plan for this week is simply to let her keep doing her thing, soaking up those rays, and watching her continue to bush out.

wolfvb πΏ RS11 "B" - Basking in the Sun! βοΈ?
Welcome to Week 9! Catching the first RS11 sister out in the bright daytime sun really shows off how much she is loving the outdoor balcony life. She is radiating health and vitality right now!
π The Details / Progress Report:
Sun-Kissed Foliage: The natural light hitting those top canopy leaves is absolutely stunning. You can clearly see the vibrant, bright green color and the flawless texture of the leaves. She is heavily fueled up and actively converting all that sunshine into explosive vegetative growth. β¨
Canopy & Structure: She is matching her sister's energy perfectly! The internodal spacing is tight, and she is building a beautifully dense, bushy structure. If you peek through the dense foliage, you can still spot the green LST clips putting in the work to keep her frame wide and open. π³
Peak Health: Looking at the close-up macro shots, the serrations are sharp and the leaves are praying upward toward the light. There are zero signs of stress, pests, or nutrient issues just pure, vigorous growth. π
π§ Next Steps:
She is clearly thriving on the current schedule and entirely adapted to the outdoor environment. The game plan for this week is simple: let her keep soaking up those rays! I'll continue to monitor her shape and adjust the training clips as she stretches to ensure the inner canopy gets plenty of that beautiful sunlight.

wolfvb πΏ RS11 "B" - Closing in on the Meter Mark! πβοΈ
Welcome to Week 10! The second RS11 sister is right on the heels of her giant sibling and is having an absolutely incredible growth spurt of her own out on the balcony. She is racing toward that triple-digit milestone!
π The Details / Progress Report:
Chasing the Milestone: We brought the measuring tape out, and she is currently clocking in at a highly impressive 95cm! She is just 5 centimeters shy of breaking that 1-meter mark, showing fantastic vigor and vertical momentum as she reaches for the sun. πβ¬οΈ
Flawless Foliage: Looking at these top-down shots, her canopy is a picture of perfect health. The fan leaves are absolutely massive, with deep, sharp serrations and a beautifully rich, dark green color. She is fully dialed in and loving her outdoor environment. π
Stem Strength & Structure: Peeking at the side-profile shot, you can see how efficiently she is building her frame. She has great, even internodal spacing and is naturally thickening up her main stalk to handle the balcony breezes and support that 95cm height. ?π¨
New Growth: The apex is bright, vibrant, and praying perfectly toward the light. She shows zero signs of slowing down her vegetative stretch.
π§ Next Steps:
I will be keeping a very close eye on her this week to see exactly which day she crosses that 100cm line! Just like her taller sister, managing the wind and making sure her base is secure in the pot will be the main focus as she continues to stretch upward. She is soaking up the sun and looking flawless.
Let's see her break that meter mark! Let's keep it growing! π±π¨

wolfvb πΏ RS11 "B" - Bushing Out & Breaking Milestones! π
Welcome to Week 11! After sitting right on the edge at 95cm last week, looking at this massive burst of growth, it is safe to say she has officially blasted past that 1-meter milestone. She is turning into an absolute unit out on the balcony!
π The Details / Progress Report:
Massive Canopy: Just look at the size of those fan leaves! She isn't just stretching vertically anymore; she is really starting to fill out horizontally. The side branching has caught up, creating an incredibly thick and dense bush that is completely dominating her space. π³
Pristine Health: The close-up shots show exactly what we want to see. The foliage is a deep, rich, leathery green with perfectly sharp serrations. There isn't a single spot of discoloration, pest damage, or stress she is thriving in the fresh air and soaking up every bit of the sun. π
Structural Integrity: To support all this new vegetative weight and height, her main stalk and lateral branches are thickening up beautifully. She is building a rock-solid foundation to handle the outdoor breezes. πͺ
π§ Next Steps:
With a canopy getting this incredibly thick, the main thing to watch this week is going to be airflow. It might be time to start thinking about tucking some of those massive fan leaves or doing a very light "lollipop" prune on the lowest inner canopy just to make sure the breeze can get straight through her center. For now, the plan is to keep up the heavy feeding schedule because she is clearly using every single drop!
Let's keep it growing! π±π¨
@HinduGod, Welcome buddy nice to finally see you in my garden, it will be definitely great experiment once strain two different genetics variety.
Let's see π how it will turn out π
Looking good buddy, but comparing her to the other plant it seems like she needs a longer dry back between feeds β this one has quite a few droopy tips compared to the other, indicating maybe a bit too much water or too short intervals between feeds ;) nothing a proper dry back can't fix
@Salokin, I already give them a dry day, she might be slightly stressed from the sun than her sister if see the leaves are up. I will try give her less water though I give them now 1L a day
Also, I'm no coco specialist, but a pH of 5.6 seems a little low even for coco β most growers I know running coco closer to 6.0. Anyway, enough unsolicited advice π€ͺ happy growing! π
@Salokin, I think it a bit higher that that my base pH is like 7-8 and it I add 3ml of biobizz pH down when sometimes when I check it will be 6.5 and dropping I give it a shake and hope for the best
