Both are veging good. Will start LST this week if they stretch out a bit more. It appears the AK received a partial FIM when topped. Should be an interesting grow.

A few of the zed blacks hermed..spreading pollen into the flower tent. Already seeing some seeds develop. It is what it is. I should have done a better job checking on them. I kept the Zed blacks that only had a couple flowers on the bottom but tossed anything that had flowers growing up the majority of the plant. Some of the most famous strains in the world were self pollinated so I don't have issues with a couple male flowers. They're just trying to improve their fitness as nature intended. The plants are doing very well. A few of the bottom leaves are dying which is normal...senecense! Sucking up those nutrients. I've been liquid feeding using the fish, seaweed, humate and recharge. I have saved the males and they are trying to reveg. Still popping out a few flowers which I'm cutting off. 1 rainbow belt. 1 zed black. 3 hash plants The hash plants are smelling incredible. Definitely a few keepers mixed in here. Maybe 3/7. Hopefully the quality of the flower backs it up. Zed blacks have 2/3 I'm interested in. One is very very low yield. Unless its a really high quality plant I'm gonna toss it Rainbow belts are both smelling ridiculous. Super frosty. Good yield. One is slightly more frosted than the other. The zkittles pheno has pure Skittles smell with a little lemon cleaner chem to back it up. Probably my keeper!

Done the first round of training this week, they're also showing some dificiences but I corrected them with some Grow and CalMag. The difference between the Big bang and Auto Banana Blaze is showing with how quickly they're reacting to nutrients. Banana was way quicker just a few days till I saw some resaults. With the Big bang it takes a week.

Weekly update on these wonderful girls. They've progressed beautifully, especially considering the day time temps have been in the mid 90's. Not seeing any signs of deficiencies and spraying once a week of either Athena's IPM and stack or PureCrop1 for pest management. So far since being transplanted they've only been fed well water. I'll probably start some Grow A & B nutes and calmag this week. All in all Happy Growing

Loved it!! Relatively easy going!! Couple off moments but not worth getting into but the smell!!! It’s not super strong where you smell it throughout the house when you burp the jars but she has a very (what I could only reference as sour, sweet and lemony, almost like that lemon pledge your mom use to clean the house with) smell but I love it!!!

This was a super easy variety to grow. It does well in a SCROG and is very robust. They are really very fast from seed to harvest. This one is an all time favourite. I like to share my weed, but this one goes on the top shelf :)

Week 9 has officially started, and she's entering the final phase with some real beauty. Buds are swelling up across the canopy with a thick layer of frost and lots of white pistils still pushing. Trichomes are now clearly visible under magnification with early signs of cloudiness, but no amber yet. The lower fan leaves have started to fade naturally, and I’m starting to see hints of purple coming through on some of the sugar leaves and bracts. I gave her a full-strength compost tea at the end of Week 8 and topped off the auto-watering base to keep her coasting. Temps have been high due to a heat wave, spiking around 88°F, but airflow and moisture have been stable thanks to the dual fan setup and bottom watering. I also added DE to the topsoil to knock back a few gnats and placed sticky traps nearby. No training this week so far, just light tucking and one small defoliation session in the center of the canopy to improve airflow. She's healthy, sticky, and starting to ripen — right on track for harvest in the next couple of weeks.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 60 days and flowering stage was 70 days total (harvested tops at day 63th) the total weight of dry buds was : top buds 174 G + lower buds 55 G = 229 G my overview of strain with details: the seeds: unfortunately i only got 1 seed cracked out of 5 so i will not know how much this genetic can get different but at least i got the chance to grow once of this wonderful strain the plant : in every stage you can ensure that you are dealing with a high level plant , she will get big so you have to control her height LST and SCROG highly recommended , will grow very well with tick stalks and big fan leaves , has good resistance for stress and will respond very well to stress trainings , she really has gorilla power in herself , fresh buds on plant : buds are very compact and dense even from start , fresh blossoms smells like pineapple and mango , 2 different shades of sweet smells like you hold 2 junks of pineapple and mango in your hand and you smell them together, she is a trichome and resin factory , very very sticky , very oily , strong smell dried buds: very compact and dense , hard as rocks , has dark colors with purple hues inside it , it smells sweet smoke : very smooth and sweet like lollipop , pineapple , mango like , after 2 minutes it'll kick in and you'll get higher and higher with every breath , has a strange and especial high mind high mostly

1/2/23 she’s doing great I moved a leaf and noticed that she has tan lines. That is amazing. This lights incredible I took the two bottom branches that I usually trim off. I’m glad I didn’t because I got 1.83 ounces and 1.78 ounces wet. This plant has been the best strongest plant I’ve ever grown it’s really nice and it smells great. I’m gonna give the rest of her, maybe another couple weeks it’s just exciting to watch her grow. I’m not in a hurry to harvest. I do partial harvest as I go along. 1/3 I turned the viper spectra XS1500 light down to halfway which is 82.3 W. And the amount of energy still is more than two of my old spider farmer lights. I had no idea how important brand new LEDs are this is just fantastic. I bet I can grow an entire plant for probably 90 W. 1/4 yum yum omg smells gooooooood.. FYI, Just because a Gamorrean pledges their loyalty doesn't mean they wont eat your weed, lesson learned. 1/4 Just smoked some that had been drying for only 2 days. The smell was so strong like no auto I have ever smelled. This is like top shelf photo from the dispensary. I am totally impressed. 1/6 i’m going to set up a new tent. It starts with the power source. It looked really ugly, so I wanted to try something nicer. I got one of the TP Link power strips three individual outlet controls for the smaller tent that I will germinate in my use one to monitor the power of the light and I keep switching them around. It’s really nice to have. 1/8 I’m going to plant some seeds today. It’s Elvis’s birthday. I threw away a liter of Purpinator today. I’ve been having nutrient troubles, and I noticed a little that I had mixed up in a small spray bottle had started to congeale. And after I tried 6 mL of it in a gallon twice I noticed some plant damage. I don’t know if it’s that stuff or not but when I add something new it seems to cause damage. So I will never use that again. it’s taking me a month to set up a small 24 x 24“ tent I don’t know what’s wrong with me so I have two 27“ x 27“ and one 24 x 24“. The small tent will be for photoperiod also for germination, the other two are going to be for autos only. I’ve discovered auto flowers need their own tent and their own space, especially the way I train them. I top them after the 3rd node then wait until a couple weeks into flower and I soften the branches pressing them between my thumb & index finger to keep them limber then spread them out so they kind a look like a giant crab, but they grow up very strong and they don’t need support I was going to go with 5 gallon but I think it would be just too heavy so I’ll stick with 3 gallons. I’ll be starting to gorilla cookies this coming week probably tonight, but I’ll start the diary tomorrow. If you hold the phone up to the TV, it types out the dialogue . I’m gonna d mad max later don’t you wish you were like me easily amused? You get a lot less brains on your wall that way.

I know why they call em girls now. You get to obsessed and you scare em away. This is not a casual hobby for me anymore. I have been sucked in to this underground world of cool people. If i had a feeling the inline fan needed an adjustment, i would jump out of bed. Before i go to bed, i say my prayers. Im Catholic so a prayer to St Francis of Assisi is a smart move. Even if your an athiest, its worth the 30 seconds and its cheaper than the latest must have miracle chemicle. If your wrong, you lose nothing but if you are right and you know it? you better let me know . You could just say,"St Francis, i dont believe you are real but if you are, would you please grow me some crazy big, solid dank!" This is not ez. The panic waiting for seeds to germinate and then actually take off and you have to pay constant attention to everything. At least i do and its never enough. I keep thinking spring is almost here and all you gotta due is plant,water and harvest but i have come to far with indoor growing so i plan to stop indoors on the day that i die. this is way too cool and everybody here is way too cool. For some reason i totally destroyed the previous grow and the main reason was i was smoking the other last grow all through the thing and couldnt even remember if i just watered or if i was about to and etc..anyway i have developed an elaborate way to water wo getting nutes all over the buds in dense spots esp. i mix in a 1 gallon container,pour into measuring cup and them water through a funnel, slowly and even. ALSO I MADE A GIANT MISTAKE AND SUDDENLY REALIZED MY LIGHTS SHOULD BE A COUPLE INCHES LOWER. So its been warm and im raking out by the road and a neighbor starts telling me the latest on the people on the corner, part, so we start talking about indoor growing and next thing, were showing eachother grow pics and talking bro science and the ultra importance of drying and curing. Instant guy to have stimulating and relevant conversation with and we have been both doing the same thing secretly for past 3 years.. I suspect its a much bigger community than i think i hope this grow does well. these 2 strains are known to grow short and i lst'd them big time so i hope this doesnt have a negative effect somehow. EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT AND IM LOOKING FOR PROBLEMS. ENOUGH OF THAT FOR TODAY. HAPPY GROWING!!

- Ich hab die erste Woche des Biobizz Allmix Düngeschemas gestartet und gebe wie immer erstmal vorsichtige 100%, da meine Erde an sich durch den Kompost recht potent sein sollte. - Außerdem hab ich mit meinem Calmag-Rechner mein Leitungswasser angepasst. Die Werte könnt ihr auf den Bildern sehen. - Den PH-Wert passe ich ebenfalls auf 6,5 an.# - Die Lampe bringt zur Zeit etwa einen PPFD-Wert von 350 - 360 µmol/s/m² bei 18 Stunden Beleuchtungszeit (DLI von 22 - 23 mol/d/m²). Sie wird aber nur eingesetzt bis es warm genug draußen bleibt. Tagsüber stehen sie jetzt schon draußen, sofern es nicht regnet oder stürmt. Die Purple Haze macht sich hervorragend und sie ist ganz vorne mit dabei. Das freut mich wirklich, da ich die immer mal sehen wollte. Ist vermutlich nachvollziehbar. 💪😁👍

08/08/18 - Day 22 looking good especially after the minor bump in the road, the wire I bought for the LST is doing it’s job for the time being but I will be buying some proper stuff on the weekend. ✌️🏻 10/08/18 - did more LST last night and their responding well except one, I did some minor defoliation of some fan leaves hogging the 💡 11/08/18 - plant #3 is finally getting into feel of the LST and is looking a lot happier, but girl #1 & #2 are just going with the flow and killing it, my first time doing LST like this and I wish I started doing it two harvest ago 😂👌🏻 13/08/18 - watered each plant with 2 litres each 💧plant number #3 has a slight kink in it from the LST it has been a pain for it the main stem has hardly any flexibility but the other two are 👍🏻

Week 7 there hasn’t been any changes for either of the girls. Girl #1 is still looking the same. It seems she has finally stopped stretching. Looking forward to seeing her bulk up in the coming weeks. Girl #2 still hasn’t showed any signs of flowering. I’m gonna continue to be patient with her in hopes of her just being a very late bloomer. Everything has been running smoothly. I will start to introduce bloom nutes in the next coming weeks. I didn’t expect girl#1 to get so big but I’m not complaining. This has been such a pleasing and educational experience. Thank all of those who have viewed my diary. Thank you again for your support.

Day 58 - I started seeing these yellow/brow spots, maybe its a calcium deficiency? I have been giving her calcium so it could be a ph problem. I´m also worried because my neighbor tree has leaf septoria so it could be it aswell, i will keeping a real close eye. Last night rained heavily, so today i sprayed her again w/ Botryprot. Humidity here is really high, i think it´s already helping! Next 3 days will continue raining. When raining stops, i´ll spray when possible. Day 61 - Today i fed her the above chart. We are in week 3, so i cut Fish-mix as she´s focusing on her flowers now. The deficiency stopped developing so im happy, but im always seeing crickets on my plant. I remove all of them by hand, regardless every time i get back i see 3 at least. They are loving the blueberry. Forgot to mention i added acti-vera this time, to help stalks get stronger and healthier. Let´s see how she reacts to it, when she was young she didn´t enjoyed acti-vera Day 64 - These last days have been very hot, with a maximum of 30ºC. Will feed her tomorrow at the beginning of week 4. Will keep same feeding, she didn´t complaint about acti-vera now. :)

Welcome to my beautiful Exotic Garden 💚 I'm on week 12, random pictures for you guys, soon will update the whole process, my fully organic grow has been the best ever, huge plants, big buds, the smell is out of this world, the colors, I'm in love, can't wait for the harvest
