Hello my friends, ...May 30 , 2022....Day N°79.. ...Flowering day N°23... My three Feminized Watermelon Candy are fine, there are beautiful, flowers smells awesome. I feed them with the Hybrid powder and some Boster from Green House Feeding Nutrients. I gave them some CalGreen from Metrop, the best Cal-Mag of the market. They are under a MarsHydro TSW 3000 at 60% of power and at 30cm of the canopy. www.zamnesia.com www.mars-hydro.com Thank you very much for passing by. Wish you only the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨

The 3th week into the 12/12 cycle went smooth. I've got the impression that the Pineapples aren't stretching much. The pre-flowering stage has changed into the actual flowering stage. I think it will take about 10 weeks of 12/12 to get these Pineapples ready. I've done some final pruning and removed some leaves above the screen that were blocking light for lower shoots. Smell is coming in so this week I've placed the carbon filter in the tent. It's still the Can – Lite 600pl filter that did a great job in my previous run. This was the feeding shedule of this week. Day 1 → Each 1100 ml (0.29 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients (see above for which and how much) Day 2 → Dry Day 3 → Each 1100 ml (0.29 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.46– ph 6.1) Day 4 → Dry Day 5 → Each 1150 ml (0.30 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients (see above for which and how much) Day 6 → Dry Day 7 → Each 1200 ml (0.31 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.48– ph 6.1) The week started with the cobs still at the same height and power as last week ended. That was 240 watt and 46 cm/18.1 inch → (PPFD 750/DLI 32.4) On day 54 the power was raised to 252 watt at 45 cm → (PPFD 789/DLI 34.1) Temperatures stayed between 20 – 26.5 °C ( 68 – 79.7 °F) and humidity levels between 50 – 65 % Till next week!

Structured Defoliation & Light Redistribution GMO Cookies — Week 7 From Seed (12/12 From Seed) ( Week 2 Flower, kind a because this run is 12/12 from seed, developmental phases overlap. While we are in Week 7 from seed, flower morphology places these plants approximately in Week 2–3 of true flower formation.) ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run was flipped 12/12 from seed. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Only: • Strategic leaf bending • Gentle positioning • Natural apical development • Controlled mineral feeding through the AutoPot system • Occasional top-feed inputs when needed We let the plants express themselves first. That decision matters. Because what you’re seeing now — the uniform tops, the consistent structure, the even canopy rhythm — is the result of restraint early on. No panic training. No overcorrection. Just guidance. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, deliberately, we changed nothing. • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Height: ~40–80 cm • LED lighting (multi-layer + under-canopy support) Some growers see 28 °C in flower and panic. But context matters. Under LED lighting: • Leaf surface temp runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient • There is no heavy infrared load like under HPS • Transpiration behaves differently So if: • Room = 28 °C • Leaf ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% Leaf-level VPD sits in a comfortable early-flower range. We do not calculate room VPD in isolation. We observe plant behavior. And the plants confirm stability: • Upright posture • No tacoing • No clawing • Strong internode spacing • Healthy green without tip burn We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. That’s different. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Strategy — Why EC 2.4 Is Intentional These GMO Cookies are evolving fast. At Week 2 flower, they are: • Stretching • Building structural mass • Initiating bud sites • Increasing water consumption EC 2.4 is not a random number. It matches: • Growth speed • AutoPot constant availability • Mineral shuttle stability • Transpiration rate under LED Because AutoPots provide continuous feed, the goal isn’t spikes — it’s consistency. No dramatic increases. No sudden drops. Just stable availability. That’s why we did not change anything this week. When plants are stable, changing variables creates instability. ⸻ Defoliation — Controlled Intervention, Not Reaction This update follows the exact chronological order of the session. Before defoliation, we observed: • Mid-canopy density • Lower airflow restriction • Interior shading • Competing secondary growth The intervention focused on: • Removing obstructive fan leaves • Cleaning lower interior branches (lollipopping) • Improving air channels • Increasing light penetration • Prioritizing top flower sites No stripping. No shock. Just structure correction. ⸻ 🔥 Under-Canopy Light Marks — Addressed Transparently Minor leaf surface damage was observed on some lower leaves. Important distinction: This is not nutrient burn. This is not systemic stress. These were: • Localized photon exposure spots • Leaves positioned too close to under-canopy diodes • Surface-level tissue damage Cosmetic. Monitored. Adjusted. Under-canopy lighting increases lower bud potential — but placement must be respected. This is part of dialing in layered LED systems. We document it openly. Because transparency builds trust. ⸻ 🌱 Why the Plants Look So Uniform Three plants. Very similar rhythm. Why? • Stable feeding • Stable environment • No high-stress events • Even canopy exposure • Gentle early leaf positioning instead of hard training Consistency early → uniformity later. This is not luck. It’s controlled inputs. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week You will likely see: • Stretch slowing down • Clear bud stacking beginning • Pistil density increasing • Water consumption rising • Slight increase in aroma intensity You should NOT expect: • Massive swelling yet • Heavy frost development • Final bud density We are still in structural flower. GMO builds weight slightly later. Patience is part of the architecture. ⸻ 🧠 The Philosophy Behind This Week When everything is stable: Do not interfere. Many growers change parameters weekly just to feel active. But cultivation is not about constant movement. It’s about: Observation → Understanding → Adjustment only when required. This week required observation. Not correction. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the GrowDiaries platform — thank you for the space to document honestly.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

2 of my Blueberries were root bound one more than the other.. i transplanted them into soil in a bigger pot. I Have a bunch of strains going on but one vegging mother soon ready to get in under the CFL. Loving the HPS tho wont go back to LED any time soon. Feeding with CANNA terra nute line and using the last Bud candy and big bud from Advanced Nutrients before going full canna. The monster crop was a succes but it took long before shooting. Hope my other clone will do better. I have a very healthy strawberry banana that will be my motherplant as well as a sweet valley kush that are just a seedling now. I am very happy with the HPS from phillips it work wonder in my oppinion :) I started 12/12 as well this week

Hey there! So week 2 came with a couple of issues, my hometown (Wich is in Argentina, southern hemisphere) went through a heat wave, I did my best to try and keep the temp down inside, but my indoor was in a room without ac, so off to a slow 2 week too... This seed and most of the grow equipment was given to me and my intention was to made more seeds out of it and gift them for the second cannabis expo in Argentina.

Stiamo ancora raccogliendo,ancora nessuna pianta é morta,sto rimuovendo piano piano le cime più mature,così facendo evitiamo le cime popcorn e diamo il tempo alla pianta di riempire anche le cime inferiori,per adesso levando quella fumata e venduta siamo all'incirca sui 780g,però aspettiamo anche il nuovo stendino,alla fine del raccolto dovremmo arrivare a quasi 2 Kili con 7 piante e 6 vasi,con una media di 333g a pianta,ho pubblicato tutto quello che potevo,ogni procedimento,spero vi piaccia e mi seguiate

13/6: the light change worked incredibly well!! Switching from 75W(drawn 35W) to 1000W(drawn 120W) helped the flowers develop incredibly well in the past 7 days, now I can call them proper BUDS!!! Now, technically next week (Wednesday) is supposed to be harvest day from my original plan, but I worry that the 2-ish weeks that the plant stayed stunned may increase this period, I'll keep a close eye on the colour of the thrychomes, if they don't start turning amber this week I might push it another two. Now that humidity is correct and the flowers are growing, the plant started drinking WAY more, and now the usual 1L every two/three days just isn't enough, so I switched to 2L of PHd water at a 6.3/6.5 range every 48 hours, and I have a feeling that in the next week I may have to start water it every day as it keeps increasing its flowers. VERY excited for the next 14 days, can't believe its been almost a 4 months journey, I really want to see those buds fatten up :)

No se cómo expresar mi felicidad después de casi 3 años sin poder cultivar consecutivamente he podido cosechar esta belleza gracias a @blacktunaco por la K.O una genética llena de resina con flores compactas. Cometiendo errores desde el principio se pudo obtener una excelente planta corrigiendo todo para así mejorar el aprendizaje continuo. Se dieron 12 días de lavado de raíz y 3 de estos estuvo expuesto a lluvia constante durante los 3 días por tal razón se decidió cosechar para evitar dañar las flores

Die Amnesika ist was feines. 51g trocken habe ich geerntet. Sie duftet wirklich sehr lecker. Ich bin aber schlecht darin Aromen zu beschreiben. Die Wirkung mag ich auch sehr. Sie ist aufjedenfall sehr stark. Lässt sich gut rauchen. Schmeckt gut. Werde ich wieder anbauen.

Ganadora del primer lugar en la categoría autofloreciente de la copa Litoral de Los Poetas en Chile.🏆🥇 Definitivamente en mi top 5 de preferencias ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Una genética muy estable, ya que es segunda vez que germino de estas semillas y se expresa exactamente el mismo fenotipo; tonalidades hermosas y caractericas, frutos muy apretados y macizos cubiertos de una capa de tricomas lo que le da una visual espectacular. El aroma en frasco es una mezcla de frutilla ácida y tierra con un fondo dulce 🤤 es realmente exquisito. En la fumada se repiten gran parte de los aromas pero menos dulce y más cremoso y especioso, detodas formas es un humo genial que querrás fumar todo el día..

Week four showed good growth. I started lst. The LSD-25 is responding great. I love watching this plant. By far my favorite. The PH issues did not seem to bother it much. She finished week 4 at 6.5 inches tall with a great bonsai look. I trimmed some foliage, and tied a few branches. The white widow seems to be stalling. I am sure I over watered this week. She is a 5.5 inches tall at the end of the week. I tied a few branches down as well. I need to trim some leaves but was hoping she would stretch a little more. The sleepy yoda showed was really stunted by the PH. I now have the PH under control. I want to feed, but I am afraid it is to late and with the PH issues I was unsure. Right now I am still water only. Looking into feeding more. I ordered new lights. They will go in right in time for the start of week 5

Germination week is to me the most stressful. Will the seeds sprout or nah, will they love they're conditions or nah. I hate this week but I'm hoping Growers Choice won't fail me again. Last time I was 3 for 3 with all 3 germinating but one got too cold and literally popped. Hoping that a temp between 75-80f will be adequate this time. So here's a day 4 update - all 3 seeds have sprouted a taproot. BB1 was the first one to come out and say whazzup BB2 was soon after. BB3 I had to investigate and found the tap root was growing towards the surface so I very carefully turned it over and placed it taproot down lol. We should see her emerge within 24hrs. I am adding maybe 1/2oz of water to BB1 and BB2 as the rest of the medium is pretty dry and the peat moss dries out pretty quickly because of it. Update day 5 - BB3 has successfully sprouted. I'm maintaining higher rh levels and have started to sub irrigate to encourage downward root growth. Final day update - all three girls are out and starting their early growth stages. Pheno 3 is a strange case here... I had to separate the peat moss to extract the taproot exposed seed and turn her over. Thankfully she handled it just fine but is also a bit deeper into the medium I hope this won't be a problem later in the early growth stages.

This is 10 days after the first video in week one, 2 days since running the co2 and they started to take off in the 5x9. BTW the floraflex nute dosages are grams per gallon since its dry. ALSO notice the no calmag, have seen multiple growers using floraflex with zero calmag and ZERO ISSUES they have even told me personally that they seem to have healthier plants without the calmag which is wild to me (another reason to switch to floraflex). The 4x8 were just transplanted within the past 3 days, no co2 yet. Obviously isn't perfect I wish I had everything at the same exact stage but I had an issue with some of the clones and couldn't wait to start them over so I just transplanted some mothers I had hanging around in solo cups from a few runs ago. The small ones are the new clone strains cherry kush mints frosted apricots and Platinum Gushers. Might have some issues feeding everything evenly as the smaller ones won't be eating as much as soon as the rest. Maybe I'll stop the co2 in the 5x9 and only run in 4x8 to get everything to even out as much as possible before the flip. Next run I'll have to be more organized and prepared but I'm hopeful I can pull off some decent results on this one. The co2 in the tents is a little tricky, would like to hear how some other growers run theirs. Constant exhaust on lowest setting? Exhaust on a timer? No exhaust? Today I'm trying no exhaust at all and see what happens like a sealed room essentially but im thinking of having the exhaust on a timer to run every 2 hours for 15 mins just to refresh the air or every hour for about 5 mins. Got alot of cleanup left to do so don't mind the God damn mess mf.

Just look at it. All deformed and shit. Already has a fat stem on it.. maybe the nutes should be toned down? God knows. 4/2. It's like it's growing sooooo many leaves... plain water at end of week. Contemplating defoliating it...

Getting ready🙃 this guy must be glue gellato, but i dont know why its purple. Something gone wrong or mby there was mistake and i took a wrong seed. Mby its purple punch. Or what do you think? Its massive with strong and big buds. Cant wait to smoke it. Smell is nice 💪
