Finally a new adventure!
This time I got good expectations - even if looks the same box it actually changed A LOT!
- New light! I decided to anticipate my xmas present to myself and got a brand new ISH265 Pro from Invisible Sun Light. It got very good gear for reasonable prices, UK manufactured, Samsung LED, dimmable, 500W, you got it the deal. Very good light I'm so happy to see it in action, is SO bright!
- This time I'm REALLY growing Indoor! I recently moved to a new apartment and in this house I got the space to keep it inside even during the cold season (which is fucking long here in north italy, from half october since mid march!!!). The last two cicles I managed to put them in by balcon - which was wind-proof but got nothing against cold cold times.
-A ton of seeds to play with! For who may follow me, I'm somone which likes to experiment while farming :D I'm a gardener which fell in love with this beautiful plant. Now I'm going to grow one big box of autos, but the next time I've almost 50 more seeds to choose, between autos, fem and a few reg from a close friend, the others collected thanks to the benevolence of GD sponsors, which were so kind to provide everything, from seeds to the nutrients!

Let's talk about growing!
This time I choosed four different strain from different seeds bank. The time of flowering (in average) is 65 days: if we want to believe in numbers - which I don't - I should start harvesting from the 15th of December. Just in time for Christmas!
At the time of writing, it is 10AM of 8th October 2020. Tomorrow morning I'm starting the germination process, but first I'm gonna soak them in the water for 24hrs. Then I'm gonna use the wet-paper-towel-method to help them push out their tails and preparing them for the big jump in the first small pot.
After 24hrs the seeds riemerged from the water: some already shown off their tails, some others are a lil shy. Now I prepared their bed for the night, using a 2x2 RQS Easy Sart seed germinator. I never understood what do they put in their magical mixture, but the water seems a lil orange and my seeds looks very happy after only 12hrs of rest! It help push out 3 of 4 seeds - hoping for the revelation of the Critical Orange Punch asap...
After 2 days I'm ready to transplant! I prepared 4x1L pots full of Mycotrex, in order to support properly the root system grow. Only 3 of 4 sprout. I popped another seed just in case, but I'm trying to recovery the only CPP seed I got.
The backup seed, a Sweet ZZ from RQS, show its root after 1 days and a half of soaking.
Hello everyone! One week passed and I finally start settle all down and begin with this new adventure!
Unfortunately our Critical Orange Punch didn't make it, but was prontly replaced by RQS's Sweet ZZ Auto!
Now I've got two very healthy plants, one missing an ear and one newborn. I'm gonna try reach 100gs this time, no error allowed, I need to be professional this time 😂
I'm scheduling a 1/4 fertilization, once every 2 days, and maybe increase a bit in the future.
Wish me good luck!
I finally rearranged the box! I moved the light a lil closer to the plants, now that everyone sprout.
I'm planning to start feeding them friday, 1/4 of the portion.
A mix of different firmas to see the actual difference :)

Update..
WHAT THE HELL?!?
I feed them and just 24hrs later they exploded! They wake up from letargy and start showing some nice grow! I'm keeping using this strategy before the transplantation.
Let's grow!
Tuesday 27 - Transplantation day
Today I’m transplant the girl into 15L pots! Since i’m using a light mix i’m adding some nutrients to the soil, to support the grow for the whole stage!
I’m watering with 1.5L warm water.
Let’s grow!
27.10 it’s transplant day! I moved them into a 15L and water with some warm enhanced water ;)
Every pot has different nutrient schedule:
- RQS Amnesia Haze and Sweet ZZ: 75g easy boost organic nutrition by RQS
- PEV Blueberry and WSE GorillaGlue: 11.25g of BioGrow and BioBloom by Green House Feeding
Now I’m planning to water every day a bit until they stretch to 20cm, then I’m gonna perform some LST on those bad girls 🤟🏽
29/10 After two days the girls adapted to the new pot and went full beast mode!
Now it’s time to set some LST on the first two biggest, gorilla glue and blueberry. Wonderful!
31/10 The two girls who already went under LST reacted greatly, I put more thing to organize their leafs and give them more air and light!
The BlueBerry has close nodes so I put her on one side.
The Gorilla Glue was super long, so I’m trying to push her in an L shape, it’s not so hard I can do it 💪
For the Amnesia and the Sweet ZZ was also time for LST! Happy Halloween 👻
Great week! I got some surprisly wonderful grow from my babies :)
Today 03.11 i bend them a bit to expose them to the light, the blueberry and the gorilla are answering well, but the amnesia and the sweet zz are still small but the sweet zz is showing some pistils so I think I will grow a sort of bonsai 😂
Still curious how they will react to some enchanced water, tomorrow!
5.11
The plants react very well to the enchanced water, but I got a small problem with the humidity: sometimes it drops to 45-50%. Dunno why, sometimes I spray some water on them to keep them moist and happy 😇
7.11
Today I discovered that I could dimm the light! It’s SO BRIGHT right now!
The famiglia is growing well, the Gorilla Glue is much bigger than the others, while the Sweet ZZ decided to stay at bonsai-level :/
8.11
God created sunday for taking a break. I use my sundays to take care about my automatic famiglia! From now I’m pumping a bit more the two bonsais, while the others will grow as usual. The light is more bright than ever, the conditions are perfect! I even added a pot of catnip for the guardian of the growbox, since he’s curious and sometimes sneak into it while I’m refilling the water..
11.11
What a week! Now the sisters are blooming, it’s time to add some nutrients to support their grow.
I added 3.75g of BioBloom on each plant, on their soil, then I watered with 0.75g Enchancer which seems to work well every time I use it :)
It’s the first auto run for me now and I’m really impressed about the velocity of grow and adaptation of these variety..
14.11 the plants react VERY WELL to the nutrients! They grow was explosive and some of them react perfectly to the lst.
I think another 3 weeks before see some nice stuff
Another wonderful week!
Hello everybody and welcome back to my diary.
18.11 This week the ladies are growing fast and healty, some of them have a lot of leaf but I don’t want to remove anything yet, maybe next week..
The soil was very very dry so I used 0.75L of enchanced water for each girl, then I adjusted some branches and leafs around. Let’s see the reaction of the LST of this evening :)
Happy grow everybody 🥦
20.11
Plants are going well, they really drink a lot, is hot in there (24°C) and I spotted a little flybug but I can’t catch it!
22.11
Very good during the weekend they gained a lil fat but that’s perfect! Now I even added two more plants, so I can be ready when it’s time to harvest to keep the cycle going on!
24.11
Wow 🤩 the famiglia is growing great!
Every girl is strong and beautiful, I added two more little girls in a 1.4L pot (I did another diary for them).
I will only use tap water for them for the whole week..
1.12 welcome december!
We’re moving close to the harvest line, in a week and a half I’m gonna start checking the tricromes.. i run one last add of nutritions, from now only water until the last day!
The sweet zz is smelling great, the amnesia is growing strong and dense, the gorilla glue’s scent is pungent, unique, and the blue berry is growing slowly but very well.
I pruned a bit of yellow leaf, now I wait until the harvest, leaving all untouched!
2.12 i added a smol video :3
5.12 they’re maturing very well! Now I’m start monitoring the trichomes! Hoping in a week and a half max I’m gonna dry everything.. soo happy!
9.12 oh yeah I’m late as fuck I forgot to open a new week 🤣
This is an interesting week: I’ve got a shiny SweetZZ, ready to be cut down in a day or two ✂️ I cleaned her a bit, defoiling the yellowish parts, flushed in the shower with cold water for 10min straight!
The second to be harvest will be the Amnesia, which is incredibly dense and big in size! I hope to collect at least 20gs of it, since it’s my gf’s favourite - that’s why I’ve got 3 more amnesia inside the tent: two clones from TheHighNews (which I will always thanks for it 🙏) and one Amnesia Lemon by PEV.
I’m falling in love with the PEV line, I never missed a shot, plants are healthy and very fast to grow, very strong, works wonderfully with the GreenHouseNutrients 🤝 My BlueBerry is showing big fat fruits on its top, very hairy and smelly 👃🏻
One last plant to be harvest (maybe some days before the BB) will be the GorillaGlue. This plant respond perfectly to the LST, stretched good and developed nice small stinky buds! I should try once again but with Hesi nutrients, just to see the difference ;)
So happy to start the harvest time during the weekend!
13.12 acab day
today I made some little pre-cuts to start enjoy my creations a little earlier! I harvested a smol nugget from every girl, but it's obvious that they need a week more (except the amnesia which looks very mature).
The clock is tickling ;)
A slow starter, but it grew massively and very dense! I tried to lst her but she was short in internode, it came out like a big compact bud. Very resinous, smell deliciously, very very sweet! Sticky as hell, the led really improved my grow. Trichomes were all milky, one or two amber, but I prefer like this.
I need a week before the smoke test..
Smoke review: the smell is very flowery and fresh, much intense but harsh. Is very sweet the flavour! Effects are more indica, feel very relaxed :)
14.12
last week of life before chopping all down! Saturday I harvest my SweetZZ, the next will be the Amnesia Haze, then the GorillaGlue and at last the BlueBerry.
The box smell great, very stinky, I defoliated the girls for her last week of sunbath.
I already got other 5 plants - 2 autos, 2 clones and 1 bonsai - the fun is not over yet :D
16.12
I harvested the Amnesia Haze, but since I made a diary just for her - to try partecipating the Autumn Cup by RQS - you can see the results here:

19.12
Today I’ve people at home, gonna harvest tonight ;)
I’m very proud about this plant! It really reacted well to lst, opened and developed 15 brances. In overall I got a lot to cut but I left some small leafs.
Really stinky and sticky! I hope it develope a great taste, i’m expecting a lot since the smoke-test was great!
