Hola y gracias por pasarte a ver mi diario. Conocí esta variedad hace 20 años. En 2001, en mi pueblo, mi padre y sus amigos cultivaban una marihuana a la que llamaban "Madre", hacían crecer plantas de hasta 4 metros de alto y otros tantos de ancho, verdaderos monstruos del cultivo de guerrilla en las montañas del levante español. Cuando, con 18 años la probé, supe que era algo realmente especial, era una época en la que los viajes a Ámsterdam eran habituales y de vez en cuando algún amigo traía alguna muestra de lo mejor que encontraba; pues bien, siempre decíamos que si esta "Madre" estuviese en los coffee shops Holandeses podría competir y desbancar a muchos mitos de aquella época. Cuando le pedí a José, uno de los amigos de mi padre que mantenía la especie, que me explicase más sobre esta variedad me decía que sólo me la podía pasar en esqueje, ya que no habían estabilizado la cepa y las semillas tenían fenotipos muy variopintos. Estuve 2 años pudiendo cultivar dicho esqueje (hoy en día conocido como el Clon Mario), con muy buenos resultados, pero con 18 años mis habilidades como cultivador eran escasas, mi conocimiento sobre esquejado y mantenimiento de madres era nulo y acabé perdiendo aquel clon, posteriormente y por redadas policiales en aquellas montañas todo aquel que mantenía durante años esta genética acabo perdiéndola, conservando semillas que nunca llegaron al nivel de la cepa original. Hasta que Mario Bellandi, creador de la variedad, y su banco de semillas Delicatessen Seeds consiguieron estabilizarla mediante semillas regulares y feminizadas. En 2014 compré un paquete de semillas feminizadas y el resultado fue más que bueno, recordando sin duda a aquella joya ancestral pero sin llegar al nivel del Clon original. Esta vez cultivé la Reina Madre partiendo de 3 semillas regulares y el resultado creo que ha sido aún más próximo al original, lo cual es todo un éxito para mí. Una de las 3 semillas murió antes de llegar a la madurez y las otras dos resultaron ser dos hembras, muy parecidas entre sí. Una la puse en maceta de 50L y la otra en maceta de 20L. Las plantas crecieron sin ningún problema excepto alguna carencia que presentó antes de tiempo, especialmente de nitrógeno. Al ser un cultivo 100% orgánico y únicamente con riegos de agua del grifo sin añadir abonos líquidos era esperable, aunque el resultado final me deja muy satisfecho. Además, el hecho de añadir todos los nutrientes al sustrato me ha permitido facilitar la tarea del riego y no tener que realizar el lavado de raíces. La planta que se desarrolló en una maceta de 20L ha producido 120g de cogollos secos, esponjosos, espigados y con una relación flores/hojas bastante buena. La planta que puse en maceta de 50L sufrió la podredumbre del tronco principal y tuve que cortarla antes de tiempo, desechando buena parte de la producción, aun así he obtenido de ella 80g de rica yerba old school. El olor de las flores húmedas era bastante intenso y con matices cítricos y especiados. Respecto a plagas y enfermedades ha sido muy resistente, no he apreciado signos de araña roja, pulgón ni trips gracias al aporte de harina de Neem en el sustrato. Tampoco he sufrido el temido y habitual ataque de las orugas (ni la oruga de las hojas ni la del cogollo) gracias a las pulverizaciones en las fechas clave con Bacillus Thuringiensis. Tampoco se ha visto afectada por el Oídio que normalmente aparece al final de la floración en la zona donde vivo, ni tampoco de botrytis , por lo que la pastilla de Micorrizas y Trichodermas ha funcionado a la perfección, no sólo reforzando el sistema radicular sino también frente a los hongos invasores. El clima también me ha acompañado este año, vivo en una zona cálida donde la temperatura suele ser óptima para el cultivo de exterior de cannabis, el mes de mayo llovió algún día de forma agradable, junio, julio y agosto fueron especialmente secos, solo llovió un par de noches a finales de agosto, y septiembre también ha sido muy respetuoso lloviendo solo 2 veces. Por todo esto, siendo la primera vez que elaboro un supersoil, estoy seguro que para la temporada 2022 repetiré el sistema, haciendo algunos ajustes a la mezcla para evitar estas carencias que he comentado. Quiero agradecer a Growdiaries.com la herramienta que nos brinda a los cultivadores (en mi caso cultivador clandestino) para poder realizar el seguimiento de nuestros cultivos y como, en mi caso particular, ha hecho que mi motivación y trabajo hayan sido una constante semana tras semana, por lo que ha influido directamente en el buen resultado final de la cosecha. También agradecer a todo el que pasó por aquí durante el seguimiento ya que me dieron el apoyo necesario para mejorar en mi cultivo. Un saludo. Ferinky

High guys, We are in the mid of week 6 and I am getting worried...... Got deficiency problems which I can't exactly explain, just guess..... Why? Because I changed several things at a time, so now I feel dumb and have to do my best..... So what's up?? Everything went totally smooth, but about a week ago, 2 plants started to show nitrogen deficiency, we'll that was what I thought. So I increased the amount of biogrow, to get rid off that. Curiously, it didn't really seem to change, so I thought I may have watered a bit too much. Then I left them dry a bit, not watering. Problem didn't go away and started to show signs of other deficiencies such as potassium. I was really confused, because I really feed them a good amount. An amount that actually should be enough to not see problem increase this way. So I was guessing.........have I maybe over time not kept soil moist enough in the entire pot so saltproduction caused root burning?? Well, I did wash the soil, deciding to see how they react and be sure to at least keep out this possibility as a reason. I can see different types of symptoms on the plants........ Makes it a bit complicated, calculating feeding 6 times different. Never had such an amount of problems with feeding........ So, what did I "learn"? First it was stupid to change more than one factor at a time. I knew that, but since everything was well didn't expect this outcome. Besides, I never had deficiency with iron, Mangan for example and didn't have proper products at home.... Never do that again. I am not sure, but I think it is as well due to a crazy short life cycle that you have to be very observative with nutrition and be aware you may have to feed insane amount of nutrition. I really thought I was exaggerating feeding this time, but no...........makes me a bit "pissed" about myself 😂 hopefully I can manage it best way possible, finish and keep that in mind for the next grow.

Greetings everyone! Week 7 of these two ladies is here aaaand they are finally in flower! 😀 It took them a little more than what I wanted but hey, it's done! 🙌 My only big issue this week was that it was hot compared to last one, which might have affected my girls somehow but besides that? Not much. Besides that this is what I did and I noticed: - The baby on the back has a weird growth rate! She's very, VERY bushy and tons of her leaves have long stems. Dunno why! - I reinforced the LST. Some stems were a bit too close to each other and that could be potentially dangerous! - Tucked and trimmed a lot this week. Too much foliage! Specially on the baby that's on the back. Hopefully she'll respond well to it! - The "healthy" girl has some weird looking leaves. Her leaves have tons of "points" 😱 Anyway, that's all for now. I hope you'll all enjoy what you see and see you all next week! <3

D42 F6 One week of 12/12 and she's stretching out real nice. I'll start to feed them from week 7. I've defoliated the central cola to allow the sides to catch up.

Day 56 - Rinsed with Botanicare Clearex solution. Day 58 - 2 Days after the rinse and the buds are fattening nicely. The pots are still too wet to water so I'll patiently wait to introduce the new Fox Farms Bembe and Cha Ching.

2/3 plants doing good. 1 plant however has a calcium defficiency showing as orange spots on 2 of the fan leaves.i have added 2 ml of cal mag in with their new nutrient feeds to help offset. I have been watering normally without nutes for the first 3-4 weeks. The defficiency has resulted from me using soft tap water which contains very little calcium. Since adding, no new spots have appeared so fingers crossed Only using half reccomended dose of nutrients at this point to ease them In to feeding

From the floor to the top bud site these girls are sitting at 4ft (18days into flower) I took just ander 30 cuttings from this grow 2 weeks ago (half gorrila and half psyk) and kept only 6 psychosis clones for a new diary starting soon 😉😎 The remaining clones went to New homes.

4-5 Harvested finally, well finally for me. 😂 Big ol, stinky and sticky buds. Density is not an issue! 💪😂 Loved this grow! Went really smooth, with me freaking out occasionally 😂 No over/under water and no over feed! FINALLY!!! Wow met lots of new and great people this grow! You people in this community rock! 💚 Now enough of the mushy stuff. Guy says once dried, we should have right around 3 ounces. Lets see how good his guesstimate is. 🙏🙏💪😁😻🤘

This is my second grow. Started from seeds. 2 in big pots (I don't know the exact volume, around 30l-40l) and 4 in smaller 18l pots. I assumed that not all plants would grow nice so I thought it would be a good idea to start with 6 plants, and if they all grew I could give three away so that I have enough space (3 plants for 1 square meter). Problem was that the people that wanted the plants, could only take them in like week 14, and then they should already be in flower. Remember the word "should". So I sticked with 6 plants in a very confined space.. As described in the Video, this was before heavy defoliation. A few days later I flipped the light schedule from 18/6 to 12/12. At this point I had already done LST and a combination of FIMing and Topping. The two big ones and one small are Mandarin jam and the other 3 in the small pots are Super Skunk. I think it would have been a better idea to put them in flower earlier.

La semaine était très froide. La plante était en intérieur souvent. Très peu arrosé mais un peu quand même. Les bourgeons grossissent et prennent en maturité doucement mais sûrement. L'odeur est très alléchante...

Gave her an almost MegaDose today. Since the last time I uploaded 12 days ago she was watered MegaDose of 80mL nutes in 2 gal of pure compost blend tea concentrate . After that she was given a half a gallon of regular water , followed by a half dose feeding of 40mL in 2 gallons upwards to today where I gave her 60mL in 1 gallon. Got 9 inches of growing left until shes filled the tent to the brim . 12 days ago there were 12 inches . I’ve included a Timelapse video I’ve been creating since July 22 until Aug 21.

Die Pflanzen sind erfolgreich in die Blütephase gestartet! Nach dem Umstellen auf 12/12 reagieren beide Strains – 24K Gold und Gelato 33 – mit kräftigem Stretch und sichtbar zunehmender Energie. 24K Gold legt sofort los: Sie streckt sich deutlich in die Höhe und entwickelt starke Seitentriebe. Die Triebabstände werden länger, die Blätter etwas schlanker – typisch für den Übergang von Veg zu Blüte. Ihre Struktur bleibt offen, was für eine gleichmäßige Lichtverteilung über das ganze Netz sorgt. Gelato 33 zeigt einen kompakteren Stretch, bleibt aber sehr vital. Die Seitentriebe verdichten sich weiter, die ersten Vorblüten sind bereits erkennbar. Ihr Wuchsbild ist stabil, mit sattgrünen Blättern und kräftigen Blattadern. Das ScroG-Netz wird täglich leicht nachjustiert, um alle Triebe auf einer Höhe zu halten und die Fläche vollständig auszunutzen. Der Blätterteppich ist jetzt schön ebenmäßig – perfekte Basis für die kommende Bud-Entwicklung. Düngung & Setup: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 6 ml/l • 📈 EC ≈ 1.6 | pH ≈ 5.8 • 💦 Tropfbewässerung in kurzen Intervallen, Drain stabil • 🌡️ Temperatur 25–26 °C • 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit 50–55 % • 💨 Starke Umluft für dicke Stämme und optimale CO₂-Verteilung Die Entlaubung der unteren Bereiche ist abgeschlossen, damit Luft und Licht frei zirkulieren können. Beide Pflanzen zeigen keinerlei Stress durch den Lichtwechsel – grüne, vitale Spitzen und intensives Wachstum. ➡️ Der Stretch läuft jetzt auf Hochtouren – die Fläche ist komplett gefüllt und die ersten Knospenanlagen beginnen sich zu formen. Ein starker, gesunder Start in die Blütephase!

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 23 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17590.2, This week was a whole lot better than last! Lost TKO last week so Heady OG is all I have for this cycle, but wow she is looking beautiful! Buds are getting thick! Checked trichomes and decided to let her grow for a few more weeks. The veg garden has been growing along healthy and all mothers are looking beautiful! Topped three of the moms and have been tending to the spare clones in the tray. Also been prepping for tissue culture and plan to start very soon! Onwards to next week Ensign!

Looking great in the veg garden! --- Glad that the TKO mom is thriving and wow the Heady OG mother is looking a lot better now! --- The canopy looks really healthy and growth is perky and soaring upwards! --- The original Garlic Budder #1 mother is getting quite tall as well. --- Will need to top the canopy soon. --- Both of the spare clones in the propagation tray look healthy and green! --- The Garlic Budder #2 clone needs water. - [+00:42]: Here is the starting initial watering range: ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 256.4g → 300.2g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- Took the starting weight before watering, ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 258.2g --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted her straw mulch with RO water. --- Tried to keep the top growth dry. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process until the cup weighted at least 300g. --- There was no runoff. - [+01:00]: Took the saturated weight after watering, ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 320.6g --- Marked the watering date on the side of the cup. Also marked the saturated weight on the back. --- Placed her back into the tent. --- Why not! Decided to top the mothers. --- Growth is getting too close to the grow light. - [+01:03]: Using a pair of clean trimmers, --- Cut and removed a good 5-6 inches of top growth. --- Topped all mothers except the Gorilla Goat #1 mom. --- Mulched the trimmings. --- The veg garden is looking healthy and is growing strong! - [+01:18]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Plan to start prepping for tissue culture soon and am still researching the initial process. Day 02 - Tuesday - 09/23/25 - Total Days: 163 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 86.0°F [30.0°C] - Humidity: 78.4% - VPD: 0.92 kPa - Soil %: [49, 41, 34, 53, 43, 40, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [13:03]: Time to start prepping for my first attempt at tissue culture! --- Ordered and received the AC Infinity PH Meter PRO [AC-PHM7] --- Since this is a brand new unit, the probe sensor needs to be cleaned and conditioned for calibration. --- For proper storage and conditioning, the meter includes a bottle of KCL (Potassium Chloride) storage solution. --- For a basic 2-point calibration, the pH meter also includes 7.00 pH [Mid] and 4.00 pH [Low] calibration solution. --- The pen does support a 3-point calibration, but does not include the 10.1 pH [High] calibration solution. For growing, the pH should never get that high anyways. The ideal averages are all below 7.00 pH [Mid to Low Points]. --- The meter also includes solutions for conductivity calibration, but don’t need these for tissue culture. --- Okay let's go! - [13:09]: Took the cap off of the unit and examined the new sensor probe. --- There was a tiny bit of condensation and a micro drops of the KCL storage solution in the cap. --- The glass sensor was clean, but the seal for the cap had a bit of mineral build-up. This is apparently normal for new meters. --- Swirled the probe in distilled water for a bit making sure to fully saturate the sensor and to rinse off the old KCL solution. --- Wiped the mineral deposits off with a clean paper towel. Made sure to be gentle around the glass probe and tried not to touch it much. --- Also cleaned and rinsed the cap with distilled water and dried with a paper towel. - [13:16]: Opened and poured about 3/4 of the KCL solution into the cap. --- Placed and probe cap back on making sure the sensor is fully soaking in the storage solution. --- Done! - [13:19]: The unit should be ready for a first-time calibration after a 30-minute soak, but going to be soaking for a lot longer. --- The probe needs to stay stored in this KCL solution and will top off with more as needed. --- Plan to calibrate the meter right before checking and adjusting the pH for the establishment media. --- Compared to my last pH meter (cheap Amazon pen), this one is a huge upgrade in both accuracy and complexity. --- Will need to do a bit of research on how to calibrate and use this meter properly. - [16:36]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- With the recent TKO disaster in the main tent, glad that everything is looking healthy in the veg garden! --- All mothers (including TKO) are looking green and getting bigger! --- Now that the watering system is working again, the Heady OG mother is looking a lot better and she is starting to perk up. Ca-Caw! Nice! --- Even the spare clones in the tray are looking good and no need to water. Great! - [17:01]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 47% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 34% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] --- All watering units are functioning properly! - [20:37]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Looking great in the garden! --- Still hurts to have lost TKO, she’s completely yellow and crispy.. --- On the flipside, Heady OG has clearly survived and is looking beautiful with bud colas getting frosty and thick! --- Anyways, time to take the weekly height and PPFD readings, but will only take readings for Heady OG from now on. - [20:46]: Took the weekly general PPFD readings. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was around 1159 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 50.07 mol/m²/d under a 12/12 light cycle (LV5 @ ~390.1W). - [20:55]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 52" tall. ------ Heady OG (BX1 #1) was about 2" away from the grow light. --- These readings were taken from the tallest bud colas so the average height and PPFD levels are lower. - [21:25]: Checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is charged and water is still flowing. - [21:56]: Okay! Still prepping for tissue culture (TC) and need to cut some plastic wrap. Let's go! --- Using a PVC cutter, cut a roll of plastic wrap into twelve 1-inch pieces. - [22:15]: Done! --- Instead of para or lab film, these saran wrap rolls will be used to secure the lids of the explant containers after transplant. --- Shout out to Laur and Plants-In-Jars for the useful and in-expensive alternative! --- Okay! Almost all set to give tissue culture a go and will begin preparation of the establishment media next week. --- Getting hyped! - [22:21]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Heady OG is looking healthy and green! --- Also terps are getting more distinct and am getting more of a pine-fuel profile! Wow she’s smelling great! --- Plan to take microscope samples in a week or two! - [23:47]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 45% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 33% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 53% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 47% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 42% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 41% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 43% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [23:52]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Veg garden is beautiful and all mothers are looking great! --- All clones also are looking healthy, but Gorilla Goat #2 needs watering now. - [23:55]: Here is the starting initial watering range: ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 255.4g → 300.3g and was watered 7 days ago. --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- Took the starting weight before watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 231.7g --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted her straw mulch with RO water. --- Tried to keep the top growth dry. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process until the cup weighted at least 300g. --- There was no runoff. - [+00:08]: Took the saturated weight after watering, ------ Gorilla Goat #2 » 325.8g --- Marked the watering date on the side of the cup. Also marked the saturated weight on the back. --- Placed her back into the tent. - [+00:14]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Independently --- With that said, growth is getting close to the grow light and needs to be topped. - [16:18]: Using a pair of cleaned trimmers, --- Cut and removed about 5-6 inches of canopy growth. --- Nice! Everything is lower and a lot more even. --- The original Garlic Budder #1 mother is beautiful and squat so did not need to top. --- Clones in the propagation tray look healthy and no need to water. - [17:40]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 49% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 40% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 33% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 52% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 43% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 42% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:09]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Flower [12/12]' Schedule for the exhaust fan. ------ Switched the Mode from ‘CONTINUOUS AUTO’ to ‘CONTINUOUS VPD’ ------ Set the VPD HIGH trigger value to OFF ------ Set the VPD LOW trigger value to 1.1kPa ------ Set the MIN/MAX values to 1/8 ------ Set the VPD Dynamic Transition value to 0.2kPa --- This should cause the fan to ramp up from 1 to 8 when the VPD drops below 1.1kPa and should ramp back down to 1 when the VPD rises above 1.1kPa - [19:21]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Heady OG is growing along beautifully and she is smelling dank! --- Top colas are getting pretty fat with trichomes! - [19:32]: Alright! Time to check the trichomes! --- Using my phone’s wide-macro mode (Samsung S22), --- Took a few close-up shots of some of Heady OG’s top buds. --- Mostly seeing clear and cloudy with just speckles of amber just starting. --- Since these are top buds, the bottom growth tends to be less mature. --- Will probably take microscope samples next time in a week or so. --- Wow at this rate, harvest time will probably be in 3-4 weeks! --- Getting stoked! Grow strong my girl! - [19:43]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [19:45]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.
