No problems this week, plants growing extremely well. I got a new TDS meter, but unfortunately, I was not able to set up a drip system yet. The only training I did was to defoliate the first true leaves and everything below that. DAY 17 - Nutes PH - 6.1 Solution Temp - 19.5 PPM-1340 Watering Volume per plant - 2L DAY 20 - Water PH - 6.04 Solution Temp - 19.2 PPM-570 Watering Volume per plant - 2.5L Plant B is about 14cm Height and Plant A is about 17 cm Height. One interesting thing that I'm seeing is the fact that Plant B continues to show signs of deformity. On the video, you can see that the right side is missing a node, this missing node corresponds to the deform leaf. Maybe they are related, Plant A was slightly bigger from the beginning, but the node development is bigger in Plant B.

Big textwall incoming homies: Here Im doin some shit i knew from owning low to middle branded smd grow panels* how is that usually they come with both uv , ir, far red even newer quantum boards supplements itself with diverse chips extending their photosynthetic spectrum or making specific accesory bars / modules yet my purporse is rather focus on UV as this 15w bar (advertised as nominal 9 x 3w powered led) with UV-A 390-400nm spectrum – something that trigger some reaction to the plants with some other color son the flowering phase and trying to establish functional a ratio , as a bit of blue green and yellow have specific purposes instead of providing absurd quantities of red light , as there is some lateral cold bulbs in smaller but necessary ratios (as blue spectrum is still required on flowering , yet the original purpose was to complement mid to low branch development) in this shitty set up bonding with the upper bulbs and their colour temperature schema, every light has it's own schedule as how i suppose is a morning to night as something that cause plant resistance response (kinda noticed something i need to stimulate as i see a bit of fox-tailing but now with the uv-a i propose to build resistance and activate defense mechanisms like resin and of course, plant morphology according to its stage making bulkier , tankier , according to outdoor’s atmosphere i want to replicate as optimal weather as well – i hope this hardship make them more resilient and increase their health points as here i’s a HOT GIRL SUMMER- even indoors it rises my base temperature makes smell notorious, but as is not the usual weed smell make it and advantage in terms of discretion Killer Kush presents slight sweet tones not very prominent, the only herbal smell can be associated to pine undermining the refined coffee-like smell that is the dominant note (this selection of kush lack of lemon notes up to this point i can say it’s earthy with a bit of sour & sweetness) . Alas, as their late flowering phase and feeding schema should make chunky girls ,but the hot girl summer can become really a issue here, days and heat is something to be deal and prevent more light and food that they can chew , and this timing make me not over-do this niggas with excess of light, heat, disbalanced spectrum or extractions. So automatizing it with some timers ( a very good hint to repurpose old shit in your house!) im doing a Schedule that turn off some lights through the course of the day switching the intensity and the spectrum itself , making a sweet morning to afternoon look alike , , making that timer looks really like a basement like a nice dream to my plants, not exposing them to very disfavourable conditions and yet controlling my electric bill peaking , by the same reason , ventilation is also measured as im relying just on ventilators to distribute and disperse heat and also doing the role of intraction / extractors, there are 9 usb fans in various levels of this weed maze <3 . It's noticeable the quick evolution of these plants as there is no other factors to be aware except heat management as plants seem with not negative traces except some burnt leaf from previous weeks so i expect that they should be ready at the end of the month by my a personal mania of ripping shit all at once in order all to have that space at disposition for new projets , i will report stability eventually as they seemed quite rare enough when before putting to flower all, there was one already flowering AND THAT WAS FUCK THIS SHIT AND BECAUSE ITS NO CHEAP BULK TO EXPECT THIS SHIT!** ), and that shit become tears in the rain as that put me in some shit i can’t control or overcome, and just deal with in this strange lst bondage metal succubus nightmare that will be a nightmare to unmount too. Yet, i want the best conditions for her as all plants except her are ok so now the lateral bulbs also switched to give her more light (there is one on the left, right and on the back side, but i think better results with a neutral colour and using t5 led tubes with a water resistant case in each corner of the tent if i try to re do lateral lights ! ) *I still own the panels, in a next future, but not in this run i can use them as i think how i can supplement them and make them a team player as beyonding spectrum shaman shit i know now , and thankful to the chinese kids that made these fucking cheap as hell blessed bulbs,as they made me allow quickly adapt the spectrum on the main setup is 3000-4000k at the same ratio, with the addition of a cold light of 6500k on the idea of middle branching development too , and a small pint of unholy uv doing early 2000s cyberpunk shit with old trash janitor with compulsive hoarding stuff with some big gas leaks attitude niggas . **I do second runs of plants in order reach a better result through practice - but is noticeable the lack of stability on these bastards as i was very happy with previous strains i can say this strain is a big no! , unlike their famous ones, like black Jack or sweet cheese , the former ones fast version are way more stable and they didn’t presented me autoflowering phenos in the batch … i don’t hate autos, but i hate to mix them with feminized on the same run, its like having a hermaphrodite indoors for me. 😫😫😫

UPDATE - SUNDAY I just laid on my bed in the dark and put the DGC on to listen to as I relax/snooze and I suddenly realised it is Monday and therefore I am due to update my diary, he photos and the comments. I remember now that on my last grow, comparing this weeks photos with that of last weeks makes it easier to see your bud development... I am just about to go and take some photos and feed the recharge and other goodies. They are staring to smell SOO GOOD! I was pretty worried about it not being enough light though. I was worried about it being similar to the time I flowered an auto in a 1 gal pot, under a 200w CFL (one of those comically oversized ones) It had good morphology but it didn't smell of anything at all and had no thrich's at all so wasn't much use lol. Luckily this smells a hell of a lot more and also has visible trichomes. Right im going to go take my photos....ok these are not the best photos but ill chuck some more up later this week. The plant on he right seems to be most vigorous atm and no so surprisingly this is the quick one. Royal creamatic is slower to develop slightly bu I smells so unbelievably fruity and beauiful. UPDATE - MONDAY Hi guys, back again the day after my last update as I got distracted and started taking some photos and remembered the ones I put up yesterday were shit. I was laying in bed last night thinking I am actually really glad I got the strains of genetics that I did actually and here is why. Well, I wasn't actually THAT excited about them if im completely honest, it was more of a budget decision to get this particular cultivar. I was pretty certain I wanted to try out Royal Queen Seeds and I knew I had to, and wanted to try some autoflowers for this run and saw people were getting some excellent, consistent results from a very limited budget in all the grow diaries I had researched. Now here is why i am particularly glad I went with a strain I wasn't all that pumped about. I think if I had been awaiting a strain I was really looking forward too, it would have seemed to take much longer, this way, I am only pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed. I am also going to upload a Bio-bizz schedule into my images so I can just refer to my diary rather than having to dig one out even though I have my diary open anyway. UPDATE - WEDNESDAY These babies are starting to really stink now. I cant tell if its because I vape copious amounts of weed in my flat or if I need to replace my carbon filter. I definitely need to replace my filer for my next round for sure. I will monitor it and if it gets worse with me airing out my flat more I will replace the filter, or at least replace the activated carbon within the filter. I also just opened the door check them and they have gained noticeable amounts of weight on the buds. I love It when you go in the grow for the first time in a while and you can see its grown quite a lot since your last check. I think I am going to have a browse through peoples diaries who have grown the same strains and see who has had success, then try to mimic how they finished up... The smell is unbelievable, these are two really surprisingly smelly strains. I really cant wait for the scissor hash, I think im also going to freeze all the trim down so that when iv done enough grows I can do some mixed run bubble hash as I still have the bags from last time. Ill probably just freeze it until iv competed my next, bigger 60cmx120cm grow with 3 plants. Cant wait for that to be honest, I have been waiting to swap my flats layout and furniture around for ages but I have been awaiting these beautiful girls to finish up before I can move stuff really. Its going to be a pretty big job, but when its done I should be pretty self sufficient with regards to my medicine. This will be a HUGE relief to me in more than one way. It will remove the constant anxiety that I will run out and not have enough medicine, the cannabis itself will also help with my anxiety and depression. It will also help me in a third way just by doing the gardening itself. Gardening is such a therapeutic act in itself bu also the fact I am caring for my medicine for its whole life and then its harvested in order for it to look after me. I love the process massively. I am very scared that UPDATE - FRI I was looking through my used seed packs and I realised id made a mistake and that the pant on the right is RQS Easy Bud. This 100% so I changed the diary. I also fits with previous photos that have been taken of this strain. Makes a lot more sense to me now. I now need to see how long they suggest running it for. UPDATE - SAT Just checked on the ladies and I have some kind of flies starting to infest a little :( I dont know what they are they look like some sort of fruit fly or something. Thy don't seem to be too bad at the moment but I am going to slow down on waterings a little. I increased the amount I was watering so I don't think the top layer of soil is drying out enough so that will definitely make their houses more hospitable to them. I also checked the trichomes with my jewellers loupe but it is a really shit one and its really hard to look through whilst keeping the plans the right distance from the loupe and steadying the buds so they will stay in focus. Anyway long story short, the trich's are starting to get cloudy now. I couldn't see any amber though, I am kind of looking for as much of a narcotic high as possible so will wait a while longer. I am going to start flushing for a week, maybe 2, tomorrow though. I actually checked both the plants for trichomes and they were both at pretty much the same stage, however, bud development definitely looks more advanced on the Royal Creamatic plant due to the fact the pistols are mostly amber in colour now. This is the problem with growing different strains in the same bed. I also noticed I am starting to get some deep purple colours on one of the royal creamatic buds. Only a tiny bit but it's interesting. Am going to wait till tomorrow to take more photos as tha will e the begginning of week 9. I don't really expect the creamatic to pile on loads more weight now really, I have noticed they seem to be excreting lots of "gooeyness" in terms of feel in the past couple of days. The buds look smaller but more compact on the creamatic compared to the easy bud. The problem is one strain I am growing says 8-9 weeks and the other says 10-12 weeks (according to breeders website) and one plant does look about a couple of weeks ahead of the other, however, its the wrong way round and I did have problems with labeling them at one point so I think I may have got them mixed up somewhere along the road!!! It definitely doesnt seem right that the one that is meant to be ready for harvest around now still has all white pistols and the one that is meant to have another 2-3 weeks left, all the pistols are nicely retracted and amber and is starting ti fade before flush and get nice blue colours on the bud. No, I definiely think I labeled them wrong and will probably start treating the as such from here on in I think...god why am I so unorganised!

Alright lads 💪🏻 so we’re starting week 2 today - the girls are all having there own individual issues the joys or running multiple strains again 😂👌🏻, but we’re all looking really wellz so left side is looking a bit N def hungry still so I’ve upped the bio grow to 2ml and the right side is still showing she’s still got some nutes left from repot as shes good I’ve just left that to 1ml bio grow. All the clones are looking nice lush green, all starting to take shape now🕺 wait another 2 weeks until I start to flower them.. and see which of my keepers are as clones then take cutz off them before flowering my actual clones tent, keep the cutz in a separate tent and start popping more seeds of this next round. Either ripper seeds new limited edition or lit seeds can’t decide..😅, anyways gang cheers for stopping by until next week and we can see some bud formation happing 💪🏻 Update - end of week 2 of flowering - I’ve given them all a fair defoliation and taken a lot of lowers of to start focusing it on them tops. Still looking a bit pale lack of N but we should be okay if it seems keep progressing al just up feed to 2ml per litre. Other than that it’s going fairly smooth.

The strain is really strong to various stress, it's felt a difference between the two phenotipes, their are both delicious but one more berry flavoured and the other more exotic one. At the moment the best strain I've ever grow! 💐🍧

Week 10 for Peyote Zkittlez by seedsman, She got a very light defoliation the other day but nothing crazy, if i remember correctly i think i may of also done a round of topping to her as well so i believe were at 64+ tops at this point. May not look it but shes definitely doing some growing😇 Still enjoying her structure.

Plants Flipped to flower on a 12/12 light schedule. EC dropped slightly to try and reduce any major stretch. These plants should have been lollipoped last week before putting them into a scrog but unfortunately I was unable to, so I have to remove the Scrog to make it easy to lollipop and then place them back into a Scrog once lollipoped. When the Scrog was placed back on it was more for support as I'd already built the structure of the plant the prior weeks. Although a few lanky branches did get bended back over. Another Scrog layer will probably added later in flower for further support when buds start forming.

26.1.25: I have had a mistake 😕 i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣 However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- ♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag ♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys. ♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑 I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up 😣 I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅 I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣 So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣 Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Snipped another couple leaves which were annoying me 😅 I realised this is one of the pots I put my clay pebbles the bottom of. So I've probably not been watering enough, as she's right at the back, and assuming all was good because the pot was heavy. I went ahead and gave all the plants a thorough watering each with: 2ltrs of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.2 with:- ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 4ml Seaweed extract liquid Going to keep an eye out to see when they need more in next couple of days. They're all looking very well, except the slight colour fade on Bubble Kush

Whew, what a hot, humid and wet week. Although we had a major storm this week, Zamnesia Mango Kush proved her strength to withstand all of the elements that have continued to be thrown her way. This week I took the time to go the Zamnesia Website and read about some of her characteristics. I wanted to read up on her because I had been giving her Miracle Grow nutrients and didn't feel like she was my best grow. As a result, I have made an executive decision to give her Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice Grow. I am hoping this will help Zamnesia produce great big buds. On another note, My Zamnesia Mango Kush is only 31 inches tall, whereas Zamnesia Seeds says it should boast a height of 39 inches for an outdoor grow. I am excited to see what the next couple of week will produce. Miss Zamnesia Mango Kush has definitely proven to be resilient because we have had some terrible tough weather to deal with during this grow and Mango Kush has stood the test of time. Until next week, please comment and let's chat it up:)
