A step back recently: Started a final flush (2 days in), and decided to start feeding her again - thanks to some great GD input! 250 ppm at re-start and will work my way to 500ppm? She's still rockin' along - like nothing happened. She topped out at 350 ppm without tanking PH, so she is stable here. PH is now swinging down fairly quickly last 12 hours. Drained off 1/3 of reservoir and get reservoir down to 250PPM. 5 days later, major PH swings down again. Mixed another fresh reservoir. I am using Zero Water 5 gallon system, and just realized the PPM coming out was 100, and PH at 3! If I am at 100 today, that means these filters have been shot for a while, maybe since start of my PH issue. There is also interesting information about when zero water filters reach their expectancy. They put out fishy smell and otherwise. I will be watching my filters more often and taking more notes since this ZeroWater 5 gal system is really the way to go if you are only growing a plant or two. Filters are a bit spendy but when you take time, gas, convenience etc. its a no brainer (if the water coming out is zero:) - I get about 15 gallons per filter (175ppm from tap). Day 70. It’s been about a day since new res change. Steady Eddie at 250 ppm and 6.2. I’ll let her drink the bucket down a good ways if things remain stable with a drift down. I doubt it though, 5 gallon is fine for 12” autos but at 2’ she really needed 8 gal. Time to up the R&D on the cabinet! Also checked Zero Water again and filter is now putting out 200ppm of 3.0 water. New filters installed! Hope she finishes soon, the top of her canopy slowly getting cooked over the last 10 days. 8" of light distance is too little. PPFD 2000+ at the top, but leaf temps are in the upper 70's. Gotta hit a decent DLI on these lower buds - without nuking the top nugs, right?! As the week concludes, she’s in a fresh bath, at 250ppm @ 6.0 and running stable again. New water filters installed so zero water variable removed. Last serving of half+ teaspoon of GH dry KB ripening, and will reduce ppm by 25/day until I reach 10-15%. 1-2 day flush, if at all.

Looking good. Shes stretching like crazy! Showing some more little pistils on some bud sights. I watered her with nutes yesterday night and checked on her today and shes getting a little yellow i know its not light burn because i moved my light up higher the night before just in case. Other than that shes super green and is getting bigger in flower I just realized i did my math wrong and but double the nutes so im gonna water her heavy with some regular water Shes growing more bushy then she is tall. Shes stretched a bit but not to much yet. Im hoping tomorrow they look good. Couldnt get the best pictures cause my camera doesnt have macro

Day 15 (7/1) - CP is thriving the day after its FIM session. The growth looks good to me..?? I don’t honestly know or have any experience to go off of. It grew a little taller and I was able to adjust the tie on it so more underleaf was exposed. This all took place on day 14. These pictures are the result. I like how much new green I see under after just one night. nothing has been fed to 5he plant other than calmag in water PHed out. I’m watering about every other day. Day 16 (7/2) - The plant seems to be doing well after the FIMing. I adjusted the LST this morning and these are the pictures that I took tonight. I’m seeing a lot of tiny growths all over the place. I’ve kept the plant below or just at around 6 inches this whole time. I have a ScrOG net that I’m waiting to put in to see if the plants are going to get any taller. They are two weeks old and still look pretty small to me. Any feedback would be appreciated. First time growing and I figured I’d go big or go home with the training. Day 17 (7/3) - She is doing very well and is producing new growth daily. And all existing growth seems to be progressing as well. The top of the plant is still around 6 inches due to all the LST and I’m looking forward to seeing if it’s actually going to shoot up. I won’t be able to provide an update tomorrow but I am looking forward to sharing the picture I take Sunday evening on Day 19. Day 20 (7/6) - I spent a few more days away from the grow than originally planned but everything seems to have turned out well. When I got back I gave the plants a nice watering after about two or three days the humidity in the room was a little low so I also refilled the humidifier. I am liking the growth that I’m seeing I’m seeing lots of new growth in the middle and underneath but I’m still not getting the height that I want. I know the height will come with flowering but looking at other grow journals I’ve noticed that most plants are larger than mine at this stage. Tomorrow will be the last day of week three and then of week four. Day 21 (7/7) - Last day of week 3! I’m hoping to see some growth really start happening because I’ve enjoyed watching it grow so far. It wasn’t until today that I had the realization that I was growing in fabric pots so I was actually able to fold over the edges of the pots this entire time. I ended up holding the edges of the pot today and much more of the side of the plant is being hit by the light now. I’m hoping to see some big improvements over this first night with this adjustment. The plant still has not been fed I’ve been in the little bit that was added when it was first planted. I did not give the plants a water today but I will be giving them a drink tomorrow. Tomorrow is the start of week four 🌱

Woche 3 Anfang der Woche, an Tag16 bekamen alle vier Ladys ein topping. Alle vier Ladys haben das topping sehr gut überstanden und haben schöne Seitentriebe entwickelt. Alle Ladys haben ein sehr kräftiges Wachstum und wachsen fleißig. Bis auf minimale Höhenunterschiede, weisen alle ein bisher ein recht gleichmäßiges Wachstum auf. Mitte der Woche wurden die beiden unteren Paare Fanleaves entfernt und an Tag 21 dann auch das obere Paar. In der kommenden Woche gibt es nur noch leichtes LST. Alle Triebe werden so gebunden das kein Trieb über dem anderen liegt und alle Triebe gleichmäßig an Licht kommen. Viel Zeit bleibt dann auch nicht mehr bis es in die Blüte gehen muss um rechtzeitig fertig zu werden. Der VPD war in dieser Woche halbwegs optimal. Die Temperatur im Zelt war tagsüber um 24-25°C und die Luftfeuchtigkeitum die 60-65%. Angestrebt in diesem Stadium sind 60-70% Luftfeuchtigkeit und ungefähr 25-26°C. VPD: 0.6-0.9 kPa ________________________________ Düngen : Gegossen wird mit Wasser das 24/7 mit einer Aquariumpumpe in einer 10L Gießkanne in Bewegung gehalten wird. Davon wird soviel genommen wie es die Ladys verlangen und mit dem einen oder anderen Zusatz versetzt. Je nach Stadium der der Ladys. Ab ungefähr Woche 5 wird mit 10% vom Topfvolumen gegossen. Das ganze wird in zwei bis drei Teilen mit einem Abstand von 20-30min gegossen. Tag15 gab es nach dem anfeuchten der Oberfläche vom Substrat 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L PureZym als Zusatz. Das ganze wurde auf einen ph-Wert von 6.0 gebracht. Jede Lady bekam 450ml. Tag 17 gab es 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L PureZym als Zusatz. Das ganze wurde auf einen ph-Wert von 6.0 gebracht. Jede Lady bekam 450ml. Tag 20 gab es 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L PureZym und 1g/L BioEnhancer als Zusatz. Das ganze wurde auf einen ph-Wert von 6.1 gebracht. Jede Lady bekam 400ml in den Topf und 100ml Wasser mit ph-Wert 6.0 in den Untersetzer damit im Substrat keine trocknen Stellen entstehen. ________________________________ Höhe gemessen ab Substratoberfläche #1   14cm #2   19cm #3   14.5cm #4   14cm Licht Watt:        60W (50%) Abstand: 40cm ppfd:        350 DLI:           24

Three weeks into flower and things are moving along. I defoliated some of the lower branches and spread out a few branches here and there. Other than that it's the same situation as always. Nutrients are pumping and lights are beaming. Everything is running smooth and all is well with the world. Like some namaste shit going on around here at the moment. Could very well just be the calm before the storm...

D89 (18/02/2021): Copy paste of last week... I think max one week and she is done 😁 I gave around 2L of tap water. Glue Gelato is dry and in jar since one week. I did not move back Banana Kush in the tent since I was sure it was her last week. At this point I should have move her back in the tent. I think being in the closet might have slow her down since there is no reflective wall but at least the environment conditions are good. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 2L of tap water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D90 (19/02/2021): I can definitely see more resin gland forming on buds and can also tell that the calyx are swelling nicely. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D91 (20/02/2021): I gave 1.75L of tap water. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 1.75L, PH7.5 - RH in the closet: 33-35% D92 (21/02/2021): I checked the trichomes and they are more abundant. It's beautiful to see the buds becoming frostier day by day 😍 - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D93 (22/02/2021): She is starting to show some amber trichomes but not enough. I will let her some days to ripen but she is close to harvest! - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D94 (23/02/2021): I gave 3L of tap water. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 3L, PH7.5, 130PPM - RH in the closet: 33-35% D95 (24/02/2021): Trichomes are all cloudy with some ambers. Due to a timing issue, I will need to chop her this weekend in two or three days. Yesterday I did reduce light intensity to 50% power. She will pass 2 days with this light intensity and then 2 days in complete darkness. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D96 (25/02/2021): I will not change for week 14 since she is going into darkness tonight for two more days. Trichomes are not exactly where I would like. More ambers would be better but at least they are all milky white with some amber. She's at her peek in term of THC potency. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D97 (26/02/2021): 24h into complete darkness is done - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 35-40%

🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 Hi and welcome to another Kannabia grow! This time I’m running their Apple Fritter (feminized photoperiod). She’s going to veg under 24hr light and be manifolded. Still cleaning the rest of my Candy Cream GF (11.04.25) — going to sow the seed tomorrow (12.04.25) *been lazy, sowed on 14.04.25 🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 --- 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 ❗Events & thoughts worth noting❗ 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 12.04.25 (GW1) – Cleaning + flushing the old coco coir. Might need to add another brick. *No new brick needed ✅ This is how I recycle my coco coir — fast, cheap, no BS. 🌿 Harvest plant ✂️ Chop roots small — they stay in for structure (organic perlite) 💦 Hot water rinse — remove salts & dust 🍶 Pre-soak with light feed:   Micro 10ml   Bloom 0ml   GreenBuzz 10ml   Cal-Mag 60ml   FFJ/FPJ 10ml (new disgusting batch)   pH down (citric acid) ♻️ Media stays — Roots stay — Back in service. 14.04.25 (GW1) – Planted seed in final pot ✅ 16.04.25 (GW1) – Did last tent clean up + setup ✅📸 17.04.25 (GW1) – Seed germinated 🎉📸 — roughly 48hrs in final pot. Solid start👌♥️ 23.04.25 (VW1) – Minimal burnt tips 📸 — not progressing, not a concern. 26.04.25 (VW1) – Started using the new batch of FPJ/FFJ https://growdiaries.com/diaries/266849-grow-journal-by-yan402 30.04.25 (VW2) – Increased TriPartMicro & GreenBuzzBloom 10ml → 15ml 03.05.25 (VW2) – Increased TriPartMicro again 15ml → 20ml, topped the plant, and added final layer of clay pebbles around the base, trimmed side branches and did LST in preparation for "manifold" 📸 08.05.25 VW3 finished manifold📸 13.05.25 VW4 Increased TriPartMicro to 30ml and GreenBuzzBloom to 20ml. 15.05.25 VW4 Done defoliation and LST 📸 18-19.05.25 VW5 pruned all the shoots bellow my "mains" and did a full defoliation📸 24.05.25 VW6 increased GreenBuzzBloom to 30ml 04.06.25 VW7 did a cleanup📸 11.06.25 VW8 increase TriPartMicro to 40ml 17.06.25 (VW9) – Final structure pass 💈🌿 Did a clean perimeter prune + removed weak shoots. Ended up with 12 tops, was aiming for less, but she made the call Didn’t fight it, just shaped it the best I could Airflow’s good, structure’s stable 🛑 No more cuts until post-stretch Pics coming shortly 😘 Flip coming soon — we’ll see how she handles it. 20.06.25 VW9 Switched lighting to 12 hours, may the stretch begin 🤞 22.06.25 VW10 Did a good LST session,made some pics, and came to some conclusions and a small change of plans: Originally planned for 8 mains — long, spaced colas and maybe a couple stronger “titans” if she wanted to go that way. But she’s showing me something else, and I’m not here to fight her — just guide her. Now after stretch, I’m keeping side shoots only if they: Fill real canopy gaps Don’t crowd neighboring tops (minimum 15cm spacing) Aren’t growing into walls or toward the next plant Anything too close, too low, or heading into shade gets removed. No point forcing it. Looks like I’ll finish with 14–16 solid tops, depending on how she settles. I’m just trying to give each one enough light and space to stack properly. No overcrowding, no larf — just letting her do her thing with a bit of structure. Increased Tri Part Micro to 50ml as well. 28.06.25 VW11 one week since I flipped to 12/12 and she is stretching nicely, a bit shy in showing pistils compared to the Fantasy Feast regulars I have in the same tent. 29.06.25 VW11 increased GreenBuzzBloom 30→ 60ml 06.07.25 FW1 TriPart Micro: 50→ 30ml TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20ml Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Watermelon + Pumpkin): 10 → 30ml 12.07.25 FW1 GreenBuzzBloom 60 →40ml, TriPart Bloom: 20 → 60ml, fpj 30→60ml 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 🌿 Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 11.07.25 FW1 – Fed 5l of #1 25% strength → 2l runoff 12.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 14.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 15.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 16.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 17.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 18.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 19.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff (*RUNOFF reused for tomato plants) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Nutrients in 30L #1 – Week 11 Veg 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 TriPart Micro: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50ml → 30ml (1.00ml/L) 🍶 TriPart Grow: 0ml (0.00ml/L) 💧 TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20 → 60ml (2.00ml/L) 🍶 GreenBuzz Bloom: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 60→40ml (1.33ml/L) 💧 Cal-Mag: 60ml (2.00ml/L) 🍶 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch): 10ml → 30→60ml (2.00ml/L) 💧 pH Down: Citric acid (buxXtrade) 📦 TOTAL: 250ml per 30L 🔬 8.33ml/L 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ Tools & equipment ✂️ ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ 2× MarsHydro SP3000 ⚙️ MarsHydro 150mm ACF Ventilator ✂️ Trotec dehumidifier (big unit) ⚙️ Mini no-name dehumidifier ✂️ Kebab skewers (LST – stainless) ⚙️ Wire + roast skewers (LST assist) ✂️ Scissors (HST) ⚙️ Vacuum (for spills & cleanup) ✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ --- 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Apple Fritter (Kannabia Seeds) 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Species: 50% Indica / 50% Sativa Genetics: Sour Apple × Animal Cookies THC: Up to 25% Effect: Euphoric, relaxing, creative Flavor: Sweet, fruity, pastry notes Flowering: 56–63 days Resistance: High Indoor yield: 450–500g/m² Outdoor yield: 600g/plant Structure: Strong, bushy, dense buds

On day 6 week 4 She is putting out alot of pistills and budlets no smell yet.flowering is deff underway now. This is looking like a 10 week strain as she took almost 4 weeks to start budlets which I usually see around week 2-3.

Endlich fertig! Nach nur 18 Wochen kann Bonzai geerntet werden. Ihr werdet es vermutlich auch so machen: ganze Pflanze trocknen... aber diesmal werde ich sie inkl. Wurzel "welken" lassen! Nächster Eintrag: Harvest! Wunderschöne Farben! Sehr herbstlich :)

Heya farmers, Time to get to work, my flower tent opened up and it just so happens that this baby is ready for some SCROGging. I also fed her some Power roots by Plagron, this won't hurt my soil life and help the roots a bit, It's essentially just kelp, acid and K which promotes root growth, it's not like a fancy mycorrhizae or anything. before moving her over, I took 2 additional clones and put these in my homemade cloner. I'll be running this strain twice, so i hope she's good! I'm hoping both clones root, I changed some things about my cloner, as a result the clones are in a very high humidity area, whilst constantly being fed new oxygen, I have some fun ideas for the clones, I might run one in a Hydro Coffee-can setup speaking of clones, the top is doing great, growth looks extremely dense, however. We'll see how she does. Next week or 2 we will bend the tops under the trellis, trying to fill the trellis as much as possible. then I will cut off everything below the trellis and flip to flower. Combined with my very big light, this should give us a tent full of nice, firm buds, Lets see if Tangie can do it

She seems to be doing a lot better since the foliar spray last week. Leaves are a dark green now and the stalks are more malleable due to the silica. Did another Silica foliar spray this week as well. 12 gal of water and it is supposed to rain on them today. Fingers crossed!
