Seeds look healthy and have been planted in small cups after being successfully germinated. I'll pick two out of three. I'm still calibrating this setup, but so far it can easily maintain 25 - 26° C when lights on and around 20° C off. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RUNTZ (ZAMNESIA SEEDS) FEMINIZED DATA SHEET Brand Zamnesia Seeds Genetics 50% Indica / 50% Sativa Parents Gelato x Zkittlez Flowering Time 8-9 weeks THC 27% CBD <1% Yield (Indoor) 450-500 gr/m² Yield (Outdoor) 400-450 gr/plant Height (Indoor) 130cm Height (Outdoor) 180cm Available as Feminized seeds Flowering Type Photoperiod Sex Feminized

The third one hasn't showed up yet. No worries as I only need two. RH at 80% and temps 25 on 19 off. Everything seems normal so far. I'm just spraying them with a little bit of PH'd water once a day while maintaining high humidity inside the dome.

Organomananswered grow question 4 years ago
Your pots are quite small and the soil you are using has a lot of perlite in it, which is good for drainage, but has no nutritional value. Also remove the lid, cannabis does not need humid conditions, leaving the lid on will create too much artificial humidity and will only invite fungus and mould, plus your plants need to be able to breathe properly. The fact that the plastic lid will not let 100% of the light through plus being sheltered from air movement has resulted in your babies "stretching" a bit. Transplant them into bigger pots with good potting soil with less perlite and they should take off pretty quickly. You can also plant them a bit deeper than they are now, say 50% of their current stems under the soil surface. This will provide a bit more support for them, and in time, roots should sprout from the buried stems. Hope this helps.... Organoman.

Added a humidifier and removed the dome lid. They've been underwatered these last days and their size isn't what I would expect at this point. Update: 01/12 --> As you can tell by the look of those roots, they are ready to be transplanted into a 2 gal pot. They are starting to take off, especially the one on the left. I'll be adding Biobizz Root Juice at low doses in next waterings. Looks promising.

I lowered the RH and started to feed them with a low dose of Biobizz Root Juice. I think they look really good. Let's see how this third week goes. Update 10/12: Finishing the third week soon and they look pretty. I'll start adding Bio Grow soon.

15/12 --> Looking good so far. I topped them few days ago and I think they are recovering now. They should be back on track soon. My novice eyes don't notice any deficiency, but please do not hesitate in commenting if you do. I don't water them with Root Juice anymore, using Bio Grow instead at low dosage. The green is more intense since I changed nutes. Cheers.

Both plants aren't okay. Leaves are claving, seem fat and dry. Brown spots and yellowing are showing up in some leaves. I'm not sure but I might have overwatered.

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with them. Leaves look stiff, droopy and feel a bit dry. Am I overwatering? Potassium deficiency?

Seems like the start of Calcium (Ca) deficiency, might wanna start adding some Cal-mag fertilizer in the mix! as for the droopiness it might be because of water, when irrigating make sure there's good drainage with at least 20-30% of the irrigation solution as runoff Make sure to let the top 5cm of the grow medium dry before irrigating again to give the roots the oxygen they need! but remember not to dry your medium completely!! Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Happy new year everyone and sorry about not updating week 6. After finding some yellowing and brown spots on the lower leaves, I flushed, defoliated and also made sure to follow the dry and wet cycle. Now they are on a normal regime again, having increased Bio-Grow intake, added Cal Mag just in case and having got some LST. I think it's going to be a long vegetative as I won't be flipping till they look completely recovered and grown in size. Happy growing friends!

Good week. They are slowly getting the colour and size I want before flipping. I might add another half or whole week of vegetative. They are getting 3ml/l of bio grow and some tips are getting burn but I want them to be ready soon. Good vibes, though, they look promising. As we say in Spanish, buenos humos! (good smokes!)

I don't like the lower zones and they are yellowing a bit, especially the one on the left, but I'm close to flipping soon.

I defoliated them this week and got them ready for flowering. Before their last feeding, which has been with bloom nutrients, I flushed them. They also were flipped 2 days ago. I would like to get a net so I can spread the future bud zones appropriately, but can't find my dimensions (40 x 80 cm) Any ideas? Peace and happy growing! 😋

First week of flowering and new nutes added. They still look a bit yellow and runoff PPM is around 800-900. So I'll be increasing the dose accordingly. I would also like to get a scrog net asap so the top is flatter and more surface is covered by the lights before the final stretching. Other than that I'm very excited and can't wait to seeing them show their full potential. PS: sorry about xiaomi's watermark, photos were taken by a friend of mine. Cheers mates and happy growing! :)

Second week went good. The only issue is humidity goes up quite a bit when lights are off. I'll just add more wind to prevent further issues. What do you guys think? Also, I noticed some top leaves clawing and growing thin, like tacoing upside down. Still long weeks ahead, we'll see how it goes ;) 😅 😄 Thank you and happy growing!

Third flowering week goes by and the ladies seem pretty happy. Pistils are showing up all over the colas.. My only concern is the lower part of the plant, yellowing more a more. I guess it´s normal, but I´m not sure. Thanks for reading me another week. Happy growing brothers and sisters! 😘

4th week is over and they are getting more dense. I haven't changed the feeding plan yet, but I plan to increase Top-Max dose for the following weeks. I know tips are burnt and I'm probably overfeeding them, but I want the buds to have available as much feeding as possible. Smell is sick, I can tell you... 😈👍

They are almost there. I increased the nutrients dose and will be flushing in a week or so. I hope they get more dense during these final weeks, though they look and smell superb. Leave me a comment! 😉 Thanks and happy growing.

They are basically ready to chop this week. It seems like they are packing a bit more weight and getting a bit denser. Should I wait more? What do you think? Leave me a comment below 👍

Well, I reckon the girls have reached the end and it's time to chop. Trichomes are mostly milky (some amber), so now it's a matter of getting some free time and cut them down. Thanks to all those who follow me on this journey. It won't be long til I start a new experiment in Piquillo's Lil Lab. Of course I will updated before putting them in jars. Happy growing! 😉
