New update for week 12, concluding week 8 of flowering: Hi(gh) Folks! Thanks everyone for your input on my second grow question. I’m going for HighTV’s answer, the SOG with 9x4 main buds. Very nice to get everyone’s input on this, appreciate it! So another week done! They got their last nutrients Tuesday and on Thursday the 5 early ladies from Hempire got their first round of plain acidulated water. I flushed them a bit on Friday and Saturday to. Now they can dry out for a couple of days. I will flush them for the upcoming week and let them dry out before harvest next weekend. Im counting on them to swell up even further during this week. As for the rest of the 4 plants from Hempire, 4 from Royal Queen Seeds and 3 from Hy-Seeds, I will treat them as if this is another week 8, and they will get another dose of Flowering nutrients and PK. Then next week I will start to flush them also. I will have 2 full weeks to flush and let them dry out until my planned harvest on Saturday 5 January. I’m not even sure that will be early enough for the 4 RQS’s since they look like they have even more bud-growing to do, before they can start swelling! I will keep an eye on that. The 5 tall ladies, 2 from Hempire and 3 from Hy-Seeds show the nice thick Kushy buds i’m craving for, can’t wait to see the becoming nice and heavy! On the photos you see the slight diverence between the pheno’s, the left 2 plants grew the popcorn-buds on a stem, and the right ones have nice thick popcornbuds against the stem’s. The other to remaining Hempire plants also show these, apart from the early ladies offcourse. The early birds show a little stretching buds and nice purple colours. So next week will see the early ladies harvested, I hope? Look out for my next update and don’t forget to like! Thanks and see you!

I start immediately apologizing for not respecting the week in updating the diary, but with work and looking after the plants I had no time. Now it is the end and I have collected everything. The experiments with ice water went really well and the pollen yield has increased again. The plant is spectacular and I am very proud of my work and what I have achieved. The buds are very compact and smell really exaggerated. This Cali I cleaned it all out of the excess leaves apart from the sugary little ones and left it in whole branches and hung it on a clothesline that I am leaving in a dark room with the values checked at least for the next week so that I can start a new cycle. But the smell is just too much!!!! Great FastBud and sure I'll be making more varieties soon. The monkey has now burrowed on my shoulder and the desire to try this delight is more and more.

Hello, this week was good, all is on track. They are drinking quite a lot, and I had to defoliate a bit. The 2nd one is a bit late and must be different phénotype. I think they are very nice.

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and not much happening right now. Just watching the buds develop and the frost starting to come in. Still not much of a smell right now and hard to tell what kind of smell I am smelling. Didn’t do anything with her today but get some pictures and tucked the leaves. Day 52 - Thought she’d be ready for some water and nutes today but not quite, I’ll give it to her tomorrow. I did a heavy defoliation today and will probably be the only time I do it and will just remove dead or dying leaves from here on out. She’s definitely opened up a lot more so hopefully all is good with her. Day 53 - She pretty much dried up overnight and was ready for water today so she got 2 gallons of water and nutes. Seems to be doing ok after the heavy defoliation yesterday but still keeping an eye on her. She’s really getting frosty and smelly. Day 54 - Nothing much new today, just took her out for some updated pictures and adjust all the leaves and such to keep her opened up. Day 55 - Thought she would be ready for some water today but still a bit damn and will wait another day or two. Other than that, just took her out for some pics and tucked a couple leaves once she was back in the tent. Day 56 - The end of week 8 and had to give her two gallons of water and nutes today. As to remove a couple dead leaves from the bottom and just tucked the rest.

5/1 Trainwreck is starting to absorb it's leaves nutrients. I pluck them as I go. I'm thinking of flushing Amnesia here soon too. Edit: decided to take a chunk of Amnesia without flushing to see if I can get a flavor difference between flushing and not flushing. I'll be keeping the first clipping in a separate grow tent with fan set to 70F with a max of 60% humidity, I don't think I'll be able to get it to 60F in this tent, but I'll experiment with it and a second humidifier. It's currently 74F and 36% humidity. I wonder if putting a humidifier in there will lower the temperature to the correct level. I'll try. 5/2 Watered both with PH'd tap water. The tent is starting to smell distinct; probably of dead chlorophyll as the plants start absorbing their leaves. The clipping of Amnesia in the other tent is starting to smell a bit like hay. After a couple of weeks of drying, I'll trim and move it into Grove bags to let the terpenes come through during curing. 5/7 Trainwreck's leaves are turning more and more yellow. Gonna check the trichomes on both here soon. Giving them another plain PH'd watering today.

Day 89 - pH thing has been quite steady the last few days, but I think part of the reason is I have been keeping it over 6 (between 6.1 & 6.3) which makes me think it may not be able to feed on something so keeps pH stable (This pH issue could be root acidification with too much Potassium; it seems to coincide with the PK Warrior being added - pH needs to be below 6 for Potassium uptake to happen so I artificially blocked it by keeping pH above 6!!!). EC also going up but not as quick as it was...drops back further than it was when adding RO water (i.e. if it drank 10L and EC went from 1.7 to 1.9, adding 10L back takes it to 1.6). So, as I have been promising myself for the last couple of days, I did a full tank change. Have dropped the feed substantially for the start of week 7 (Which is technically Monday coming). New Nute Strength: Silicon - 1ml/L Sumo Boost - 2ml/L Bloom A - 1.2ml/L Bloom B - 1.2ml/L PK Warrior - 0.4ml/L Sensizym - 2ml/L Fulvic - 2ml/L EC 0.8, pH 5.9 Did have A & B @ 1ml/L but EC was barely 0.7 (Background EC of water is 0.2) so added the touch more A&B so as not to super starve them. Will now monitor pH/EC for the next few days and try to keep levels nice and even for the next 9-10 days before going to week 8 force and week 9 flush and the finishing bulb! ************************************************* Day 85 - Dayum this pH management getting funky now!!! For the last week, pH keeps taking a nose dive (0.5-0.7 a day) with water level dropping and EC rising. Can't work out what the girls are at at all. Apart from lower leaf loss due to light being blocked, the plant is creating some new leaf matter (As you would expect) where light is getting reflected down low but can't work out the pH drops. No matter what EC i set them too, or pH, they only appear to be taking on water...or something micro (Ca/MG or the likes) and leaving the macro's. Topped up tank with some RO (Reclaimed from dehumidifier) water and only added calmag since tank change 3 nights back (It has some N in it for the new green and hopefully just gives what it needs with Ca/Mg). Apart from that, just keeping an eye on things to make sure no burn...dont want to put them on a starve on the beginning of Flower week 6!!!

Our Ghost Train Haze automatic has started to flower, here the main lining didn't work well but it worked really well. It's a plant that responded very well to topping right away and you could see it growing at a fantastic rate. Here the topping was done at the third internode, mainfold and then we continue for another three internodes and topping again. You can decide to cut something along the way here there is really a lot of stuff that seems to be going very well. . Anyway you leave more or less everything that manages to see a decent amount of light enough to flower well. The plant is an exemplary one with a wide internodal distance I managed to work it very well, the appearance is truly impressive and the structure is really very very beautiful. Here we are at the moment of truth, the flowers are starting to form, our Ghost Train Haze reveals its sex and of course like all Zamnesia plants I will be the father of two beautiful females. One is growing straight but I will show it to you later because I have been focusing a lot on this one in main - lining. It is a plant with a wide internodal distance so we have more time to shape it before the woodification and it lends itself very well to late last interventions. I managed to open it on the main line very well and the lateral branches are really, growing and stretching properly. We will not see the super productive trees of the autumn harvest but I am willing to bet that we will have lots of beauty and lots of resin in beautiful bush-sized plants. Wait for the uncle BreadandBuds.... We are still using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100% organic. We have moved on to the flowering start schedule that keeps the same Power Roots additives - Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and adds the flowering stimulant dear in my house for obvious reasons of Biscotti. Of course the basic fertilizer is now Alga Bloom. The Green Sensation when the flowers are already a bit swollen, do not start immediately. The Power Buds must immediately stimulate the start and development of the buds. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer schedule based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/12511-zamnesia-seeds-ghost-train-haze-auto.html Zamnesia Description // From the day its cotyledons emerge from the substrate, Ghost Train Haze Auto will surprise you with its rapid growth and robustness. When it starts to flower, this short sativa will develop long and compact buds with pungent scents of spice, citrus and fuel. All the best that mother nature can offer is on ---- www.zamnesia.com

6/22 Some pictures didn't upload but that's probably a good thing. As long as the video went up its good. I need to take less pictures. I'm glad I watered the plants in the back with a premixed gallon last night as we didnt get nearly the rain I thought we would. It's small showers throughout the day. The plants are getting enormous. A couple have revegged. Mostly the 10th planet. The others aren't anywhere near as impacted. Boy are some of these stalks thick. I chose to keep a couple plants that could be grown naturally without topping or fimming. I like to see the structure of the tree bit with humidity like this 98%rh it's easy to get botrytis. That's why it's good sometimes to have multiple bid sites so your proverbial eggs aren't all in one basket. But you do end up with a massive cola. I think that mk ultra with the big fan leavescis just going to be one giant bud. That's what it's looking like. Oh and today is the summer solstice. Longest day of the year. 6/23 WATERED EVERYTHING. USED FIVE AND A HALF GALLONS. EVERYTHING GOT AT LEAST A HALF GALLON. Despite the rain we got and the bags still having some heft I decided to water. It's 80 at 9am. It's supposed to he in the upper 90's today and coukd break 100° tomorrow. I hate that the grow bags are black. That's way to hot for the plants. I should find some empty soil bags and wrap the black fabric for a couple days. A sunscreen might help but I doubt much. We'll see how it goes. 6/24 It's 90° at 9am. It's supposed to break 100° amd stay there a while. Up to 106°. Plants looked awesome this morning. I wasn't sure what I'd find. Today is the worst of the days. If it didn't break 100 yesterday it was damn close all day and the girls look GREAT. I WATERED AGAIN TODAY. I USED 6.5 GALLONS TO WATER THE GARDEN. It was nice cool well water too so they should like that. Branches are getting longer and I'm training as the get bigger. I need to put up the trellis but I'm not doing it in this heat. EDIT: 90° @ 6PM WENT OVER AND AS PREDICTED THE TWO TENS WERE DROOPING. IM WONDERING IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH IM THOSE TENS. LAST YEAR I HAD ONE THAT WAS HUGE IN A TEN BUT IT JUST DEVELOPED INDIVIDUAL CALYXS WITHPUT CONNECTING. CHECK IT OUT ON LAST YEARS DIARY. IF THATS THE CASE I SHOULD KIGHT DEP THEM BECAUSE THEYRE GETTING BIG. I WATERED THE TWO TENS WITH ABOUT A HALF GALLON AND I USED WHAT WAS LEFT OF THAT COLD WELL WATER ON THE 10TH PLANET IN THE 30. SHITS LIGHTER THAN USUAL BUT LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. THE REST CAN WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING FOR THEIR WATERING. TOMORROW TOPS OUT AT 85° WHICH WILL BE MUCH BETTER. IM LOVING MY STRAIN CHOICES RIGHT NOW. 6/25 It's super humid out but much cooler. I think it's like 80 at noon time. I had to water the two tens this morning. I didn't really HAVE to but I did. I filled up my watering can that says it holds 1.5 gallons (but it seems like more) and watered the two tens at least a half gallon and focused the rest on the 10th planet in the 30 and the other one up front that gets lighter than the rest. I was fully planning on watering EVERYTHING this morning but I could feel moisture in the soil and they had weight. I'm pretty sure I made the right decision. Especially with humidity so high. Either way I'll check tonight. EDIT: WENT TO THE GROW AT APPROX 2:30PM. I HAD BO IDEA HOW HOT IT WAD OUTSIDE. IT WAS 87° BUT THE HUMIDITY IS DAMN NEAR 100%! I HAD WATERED SHIT A KOT LATELY AMD WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING. THE TWO 10'S (WITH GIANT PLANTS THAT IM NOT SURE CAN FINISH IN TENS) WERE DRY AND LIGHT. A COUPLE SPECIFIC PLANTS WETE A "LITTLE" LIGHTER THAN THE REST. I MIXED UP THE WATERING CAN WHICHVIS 2.5 AND ANOTHER GALLON. I USED THE WATERING CAN ON THE PLANTS IN THE FRONT. THE CHEMDOG #4 WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER THAN THE REST SO I GAVE IT MOST OF A GALLON. THE PLANTS THAT ARE STILL HEAVY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT LONGER BEFORE I WATER THEM. 6/26 This morning I came over to substantially lighter bags. I watered everything but the 50 with 5.5 gallons of water. Plants amd roots are getting heavier. My intuition told me to water that 10th planet but it was still wasn't TOTALLY dry. This happens a few times a year during hot stretches. It will be fine by the time I'm back. I've also noticed that the pink kush in the 50 (the only one that didn't use ALL new soil) is a substantially lighter green than every other plant in the garden. Boy I'm glad that heat wave is over. It's 67° at 9:30 that's much better. I'll update as I go. I'm still thinking about light depping the 10s. EDIT: HASN'T BROKE 70 YET AS OF NOONTIME. I THINK I MAY HAVE GONE A LITTLE OVERBOARD WITH THE WATER. TH8NGS LOOK ALRIGHT AMD THERE'S A GOOD BREEZE SO EVEN IF I DID THEY'LL DRY OUT QUICK. SO MUCH GROWTH SO FAST! THE MK ULTRA WITH THE BIG FAN LEAVES LOOKS A LITTLE SAGGY BIT IT WILL COME OUT OF IT. THE 10TH PLANET THAT WAS DROOPING LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER. IT DID REVEG AND IS STEAIGHTENING OUT TROM THAT. I DEFOLIATED SOME SPOTS TJAT LOOKED LIKE SEPTORIA. BUT THERE WERE BURNS AND DISTORTED LEAVES FROM BEFORE SO ITS HARD TO TELL. JUST A COUPLE LEAVES WITH THAT DOT. TIME WILL TELL. ITS PAST TIME TO GET MY IPM GOING ANYWAY. DURING ONE OF THESE COOLER DAYS IM GOING TO HAVE TO PREEMPTIVELY TREAT MY PLANTS. EITHER BT, CAPTAIN JACK OR PLANT DOCTOR IS WHAT I HAVE ON HAND AT LEAST. I HAVE CITRIC ACID AND K BICARB BUT HOPFULLY NONE OF THAT WILL BE NECESSARY. THE WIND IS FAR TO STRONG FOR A MITE POPULATION TO GET OUT OF CONTROL WHICH IS AWESOME. IM MAINLY WORRIED ABOUT THE PATHOGENS. 6/27 Rained last night but I don't think very much. Its much cooler. Went from 100 to 70 in a day. Plants did good to take those fluctuations. They are still SLIGHTLY overwatered with the mk ultra with the big fan leaves being the MOST over watered. There's a breeze today though and it's sunny blue skies. I think showers ate possible tomorrow at 4a.m. and it says showers throughout tomorrow to which sucks. I was hoping to get a couple nice days to dry the plants out. The 10s are light again but the soil is still moist. It's hard when it's so hot to water the correct amount. At least it is for me. Killed a couole moths and a pillar. I noticed the first sign of pest damage so it's time to get out and start the IPM. I'm hoping for no pathogens. I'll update as I go along. EDIT: IT'S 75° AT 11:30. That mk ultra with the massive leaves still looks overwatered. One of the plants in the 10s looks the same but that one is light but the soil is moist. The MK ULTRA is still holding some weight and the soil is still damp. It's not the AMOUNT of water I've given them that's the problem it's the FREQUENCY that ive HAD to water that messed me up. Going from 70° to 100° overnight for several days kinda messed me up. It's improving though. I lifted it and it doesn't seem TO heavy. The soil is still slightly moist. I hope that I don't get so involved with thinking the plants are overwatered that they are actually under watered. I think I need to increase volume when watering and treat each vacant differently (which I have for the most part). I'm usually very measured and careful but it is what it is. No more water for a little while. Other than thecshowers at 4a.m. and the showers expected tomorrow. Surprisingly the small time I was away allowed the plants to show a pretty drastic improvement. EDIT #2 WENT BACK DOWN AT FOUR TO CHECK THINGS OUT. THE MK ULTRA I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IS DOING MUCH BETTER. EVERYTHING (SANS ONE IN 10) IS LOOKING MUCH BETTER. I DUG DOWN AND CAN TELL THERES MOISTURE IN THAT SOIL IN THE TEN THATS A LITTLE DROOPY. THATS WHY ID RATHER UNDER WATER TGAN OVER WATER. UNDERWATER AND YOU JUST GIVE THEM A DRINK AND THEY PIP RIGHT BACK. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET SHOWERS TOMORROW EARLY MORNING. HOPFULLY NOT MUCH. MY INTUITION TOLD ME TO HOLD OFF ON WATERING THAT PLANT IN THE TEN. THE OTJER IS THE SAME WEIGHT AND LOOKS GREAT. WASNT PLANNING ON GOING DOWN SO UNFORTUNATELY I DIDNT HAVE MY PHONE ON ME. 6/28 Rained hard last nightcand showers all day. Plants don't look to bad off though. I think I wad watering to frequently with not enough volume. That AND the fact that we are having 35° temp swings. That has made it hard for me to keep the plants on any k9nd of a schedule for watering. I believed that plants were overwatered but since we've gotten all this rain some seem to have slightly improved. These are resilient strains and will probably be alright. I took a quick video. I'm REALLY CONSIDERING light depping the two tens. 6/29 It's been maineing out. Overcast and misting. We got hammered on overnight the night before and all day yesterday. I was completely wrong and would've made a fool out of myself if not for mother nature. I guess those plants were UNDERWATERED not OVERWATERED! It was hard to tell though with the 30° Temps swings. Either way I got this shit now. I've killed and seen some birds dart in and grab a few pillars. I see a little bit of pillar damage so plants MAY get a treatment of bt tonight. They're watered and healthy after all.
