Spice’n a Bitch!
Week 2 of flower roughly and all plants have begun the shift to cotton balls. Except for the males of course but, they’re grown som hefty sacks also😉. As it turns out we have 3 males, not 2. That might present an option to harvest pollen off one of em to actually save for future use. We’ll see how it goes. Other than that - all plants are performing generally well. Certainly we’ll enough to make some seed babies so let’s get to it. I figure nuts start bust’n in about 2 weeks or so yall! Giddy up and slap dat ass - we gotta make ourselves some bit ‘o awesome😎. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.
Slurricane #7 S1 (In House Genetics)
She’s finally down 😸 I finished harvesting the lower buds this morning. Most of the buds appeared to have matured. Filled another one and a half hangers, I can’t get over how much this plant has produced. All the buds feel solid to the touch and the trichome coverage is phenomenal. She’s got a really sweet gassy aroma, with a funky backend. I’ve done a final trim on all the top/mid buds, they’re just having a few more days to finish up. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I 100% plan on doing a final smoke report update with an overall yield and plenty of pictures. Made a small test batch of rosin from the final trim, came out fantastic, it’s retained all the smell, it’s ridiculously strong and smokes extremely smooth 😻. I’d like to thank everyone who’s had a look, commented or liked this diary. I hope it’s been helpful in some way 😸. Another fantastic strain by In House Genetics, if you are looking for premium quality flowers grab a pack! —————————————————— SMOKE REPORT & FINAL WEIGHT —————————————————— For some reason it won’t let me add the final smoke report so I’m adding it here underneath 😸🤷‍♂️ hopefully it’ll be seen. I’ve finally got round to trimming the last of the Slurricane and I was amazed with how well she yielded. I got 9 ounces of solid buds that are covered in a ridiculous amount of trichomes! I don’t have any way of testing her but she looks like a 30%+ THC content, absolutely phenomenal buds. I also got 2 ounces of smaller leafier buds that were round the bottom of the plant and a stupid amount of premium quality trim. All this has been frozen to make into Rosin at a later date. The Buds themselves have a unique smell and taste, it’s gassy, but has a strange sweet taste that lingers In the mouth. I’ve never really had anything like it before. She packs an absolute punch! Immediate flushing to the face whether it be Rosin or Flower, I’d say she leans more to the indica side of things, but that could just be me 🤷‍♂️ All the top buds have had a weeks cure and are smoking unbelievably smooth even at this stage 😸 I’m storing some of it in a jar and I’ve posted a pic of the bottom of it, it’s almost completely white from the loose trichomes that have shaken off 😻. The Rosin I’ve made so far has been fantastic and I’ve only used trim, I’ve yet to press any flower, but I reckon she should give some decent returns! Overall she’s ticked a lot of the boxes for things I look for in a decent keeper plant. I’ve got a mother clone vegging so I’ll be running groups in the future. Great plant, great smoke 😻🌱💚

63 days in, and she is starting to get really frosty. She is maxed on nutes. Still producing lots of white pistols. When I start seeing Amber Trichromes on the flower I am gonna start flushing. Happy farming out there Grow Diaries.
Spinning with Roller Coster Haze
Week 3 VEG – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Expanding the Canopy, Building the Ecosystem Week 3 VEG has arrived, and our Roller Coster Haze girls are thriving. They’re growing with intensity, branching fast, stretching out beautifully, and responding with vibrant color and leaf development. This week, we stepped outside the tent for a special photo session to capture their structure, symmetry, and power. Both phenos are showing great promise. But this update isn’t just about how the plants are growing — it’s about how we’re growing them. This week we shine the light on the ecosystem behind the leaves — the environment, the gear, and the design that make it all possible. ⸻ Light Systems – Future of Grow & ThinkGrow We are currently growing under two powerful LED systems in a shared 8x8 room: • Future of Grow: Highly efficient, full-spectrum lighting technology providing excellent canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs: Tuned for precision horticulture, great thermal management, and superior spread, recently integrated into the setup. Both light systems are now active, operating in two separate environmental zones within the same space, but synchronized and managed through one master control hub. ⸻ Environmental Intelligence – TrolMaster Ecosystem All environmental conditions are being automated and fine-tuned using the TrolMaster Tent-X Control System, including: • CO₂ Sensors – Monitoring levels and ensuring optimal enrichment. • Temperature & Humidity Sensors – Providing real-time data for environmental balance. • PPFD Sensor – Ensuring precise light intensity distribution across both zones. • Device Integration – Exhaust fans, intake fans, humidification and lighting systems all run through this single ecosystem. The system gives us a responsive, dynamic grow space that adjusts in real time to keep conditions perfect. ⸻ Airflow & Filtration – Keeping It Clean and Controlled Air exchange is critical, and we’ve built a dual-exhaust, filtered system to keep the space fresh and odor-free: • Exhaust System: • Two 6-inch carbon-filtered exhaust lines. • Spider Farmer extraction fan (controlled via Spider Farmer GGS controller). • AeroFan (connected to TrolMaster Tent-X controller). • Intake System: • One 6-inch filtered intake, bringing in fresh, conditioned air. This ensures both negative pressure and proper circulation at all times. Clean air in, filtered air out, silently and efficiently. ⸻ Feeding Schedule – Aptus Micro-Nutrition, Targeted & Precise This week, we maintained a light but effective nutrient profile using Aptus Holland products, aimed at promoting root structure, nutrient uptake, and resistance: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L – cellular strength and stress reduction. • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L – structural support and calcium-magnesium balance. • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L – balanced NPK and trace minerals. • Start Booster – 0.2 ml/L – supporting root expansion and microbial activity. This blend is helping the girls keep pace with their rapid vegetative expansion without overwhelming them. We’re not pushing for speed, we’re feeding for structure. ⸻ Looking Ahead We’ll be making our final decisions next week, based on structure, root readiness, and overall health. From there, final stretch of veg before flower. We’re not rushing — we’re watching. Letting them show us who they are. ⸻ Final Notes – Summer in the Grow Room It’s summer, and just like the world outside, the room is alive. Life is bursting in every direction — the plants, the microbes, the air systems, the sensors. Everything is connected and working in rhythm. It’s beautiful to witness. This week was not about interventions — it was about observation, appreciation, and refinement. The grow is expanding. The system is expanding. And the girls? They’re reaching for the light, fast and full of promise.

420 Fast Buds Purple Lemonade
these are big beauties and were off for flowering. my god. just pure unstoppable. which brings us to the V1 story. because they're so strong, we decided to use this company as our Rambo for testing. reference the V1 diary also. now its confession time. I hated Autoflowers, i only ever grew them as freebies and my experience was always underwhelming i always thought they looked terminally ill vs a well grown photo-period.... but i can seriously vouch for 420fastbuds product. its at least 30% more solid all around v other auto flowers, i even pout a green leopard Auto flower beside it a week behind to show the difference.

Big Buds, easy to harvest. This is my first haze plant. I cloned 22, but all died. The taste: 60% incense,30% peach, 10% lemon(or something citrus).
Ganya passion farmer
Alles läuft super buds fangen langsam an anzuschwellen hab eine 2 Lampe mit reingebracht um mehr lichteinwirkung in der Blüte zu haben. Die einzige Frage die bleibt sollte ich langsam anfangen zu entlauben. Bin mir bei autoflower unsicher.

Crazy Cookies
2018-03-20 Week 12 Day 1 New week and not much to say. No water or nutes today, just the regular weekly check to see that they look nice and healthy. Raised the lamp about 10 cm to make sure that the girls don't get burned again. Crazy Cookies nr1 is 52 cm Crazy Cookies nr2 is 49 cm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strain information: The word synergy is a business term first quoted in the early eighties to describe mutual enhancement through interaction or cooperation, where the end result gained is greater than the sum of the parts used. What do synergy and the Crazy Cookies cannabis strain have to do with each other you may well ask? The parents of the forthrightly indica Crazy Cookies are marijuana royalty. OG Kush and Girl Scout Cookies. These strains of contemporary legend have been combined to cerebrum shattering effect. The cured flowers deliver a mouth-watering and couchlocking 24% THC. The initial delectable spacey upbeat onrush compliments of the Durban Poison coursing through the genes of the Cookies soon becomes a lush and rich, inescapably delicious body flux. There should be a picture of a Crazy Cookie nugget in the dictionary next to the word synergy. Crossing the OG back into the Cookies has amplified the psychoactive effects of the notorious lineage of both parents. This is an indica with a capital I. As a breeder it would be fair to assume that injecting more OG into the Cookies would result in an OG-dominant Cookie, or even close to a pure OG, but something else has happened. Some long dormant genetic switch has been flipped and a standalone indica has emerged whose spicy notes and earthy tones, hints of grape and horny pheromone are an absolute pleasure. Paying this breed some careful attention as it grows will reward you substantially, indoors or out. Typical hybrid vigour is shown throughout each grow phase. Stout plants to 80cm can be expected indoors and muscular examples with fluted stalks growing to two metres can be easily achieved outdoors. Good bracing is necessary as the flowers mature. With more than 500g at harvest per robust plant, colas can easily snap and twist branches. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gorilla Punch Auto Fastbuds Strain
Last week's plant showed an adorable life power, I hope this one will be the same or better ^_^ (14d) I'm not noticing that now, but it still grows excellent! update (17d): it grows perfectly fast and robust. Box stayed outside and the morning sun heated it up to 40 degrees and humidity was 24%, so I moved the tent to my apartment. I like what I have now. (17d) Initially, I planned not to interfere grow process. No LST or any kind of topping, just defoliation, but now I started to think about LST and SCROG. MB I will start LST at the end of this week. (19d) LST. It grows very fast, and I worry that it can cause problems in my short tent. How do I calculate: 1.6m total size - (0.3m pot + 0.2m between the led lamp and strain) = 1.1m - which is less than the max size of the plant. I don't plan to bend strongly to the ground in a spiral, but I just wanna move the plant's living powers a bit ^_^ 20d even after 1 day I can see a major speed up in side branches growing tempo. I hope that will take some living power and plant size will be lower without losing weight (^_^) 20d during changing the pot's stand I shook the plant too much and broke one branch (marked on the photo with a red line). I propped up it so can't even see the breakpoint. Finally got my voodoo juice, and start using it instead of my GHE root booster.
