The run continues nicely, we still had some temperatures of nutritive solution a little high with the heat of Danielle. It drops drastically in 2 days so I will finally finish this growth in the calm one and will be able to begin my bloom on September 24th. I apply hydrogen peroxide at a rate of 0.5ML/L, twice a week as a treatment. The root Rot X is used every ten days when changing the nutritive solution. I put less water in my system, in order to create a wet zone and a dry zone, I make sure that the roots are always immersed of course. As soon as the temperature drops, I will switch to 800 ppfd for the end of growth and depending on the evolution of the plants I may add some sensi grow a and b to increase the ec a little. If you are attentive, you will observe on the tips of the leaves or even on the leaves, spots of burns or deficiencies, it is simply the consequence of the pythium a few days earlier. The last growth update will be around September 24/25.

I love this auto so much! I’m scared to defol her at this stage don’t want to trigger any stress until the buds are more formed! But all in all I think I’m in for a great harvest!! My auto training is complete! I know what I’m doing with these girls now!

420Fastbuds Week 7 Gorilla Cookies Auto The 2 of these seem to be growing great. The bigger one seems to have taken the fasttrack to flower as they both sprouted around the same time. The smaller one is by no means doing bad it's just a little slower but by the looks of it I'll guess it'll be close the the same size as the taller one that's close to 40in tall from the top of the soil. The taller one has preflowers all over and even though is tall stacked nice so the spacing on branches between flower sites isn't to far. This week the temps have been dropping from the low 90's to the mid 70's during the day and into the 50's at night. Got some rain today so humidity is up to 65% but I upped my fans so hopefully will be ok and it was a fluke storm so guessing tomorrow will be back to sunshine and nice weather. Until next week Happy Growing

I am absolutely over the moon with excitement to finally be at this stage in my journey with my beautiful cutie pie. The time has finally come to transplant her and I couldn't be happier to do it with the help of Aptus Mycormix. This mix is truly amazing and I know it will do wonders for my Gitl. One of the things that I love most about Aptus Mycormix is the way it supports root development. I mean, let's face it, strong roots are the foundation for a healthy and thriving plant. With Aptus Mycormix, I know that my plant's roots will be able to absorb nutrients more efficiently and grow even faster. This is particularly exciting since we are entering the third week of the vegetative phase where growth tends to really take off. But the benefits of Aptus Mycormix go beyond just the roots. This mix is designed to support the growth of beneficial microorganisms which can help protect my plant from disease and improve soil health. It's like a whole ecosystem of goodness! but I'm also mixing in some Aptus All-in-One pellets. These pellets are truly amazing and offer so many benefits to my plant. For starters, Aptus All-in-One pellets are a slow-release fertilizer that is designed to provide my plant with all the nutrients it needs throughout the vegetative phase. This is such a great feature because it means that I don't have to worry about overfeeding or underfeeding my plant. With the Aptus All-in-One pellets, my plant will get exactly what it needs, when it needs it. Another benefit of the Aptus All-in-One pellets is that they help to improve soil structure and texture. This is so important because it means that my plant's roots will be able to grow more easily and efficiently through the soil. When the soil is healthy and well-structured, it also allows for better water retention, which is critical for the health and growth of my plant.One of the things that I love most about Aptus All-in-One pellets is that they are made with organic and natural ingredients. This means that I can feel good about what I'm feeding my plant, knowing that I'm not exposing her to harmful chemicals or synthetic fertilizers. Of course, what I'm really excited about is the potential of this plant's genetics. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but I am hoping for a taste that takes me back to the 90s. I can't wait to see how she develops <3 <3 <3 As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics -Seeds Mafia Lavender Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 Auto Lavender Feminized is a very popular type of cannabis, whose strong therapeutic effects are highly appreciated. It has a flowering period of approximately 9-10 weeks and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. It is a resistant variety which can be cared for easily. This variety is mostly appreciated because it produces strong, durable and resistant plants. Its branches and stem usually grow vertically rather than horizontally. It reaches heights of 120 cm and the harvests amount to 90 grams/plant. In addition, it contains high levels of THC- up to 20%. As their name suggests, the plants that grow from Auto Lavender Feminized seeds have a smell and taste similar to those of lavender, also comprising mint and rosemary tones. This is a variety of cannabis that is usually appreciated for its pleasant fragrance and high productivity, seeing as its buds and stem produce an impressive quantity of resin. If you’re looking for another kind of feminized, autoflowering variety, Auto Lavender Feminized will not disappoint you for sure! auto Lavender Feminized is a feminized, autoflowering variety, obtained by crossing the Lavender and Lowryder 2 species. The plants that grow from this variety have a very specific structure: they are tall, vigorous, and have large branches. At the end of the flowering period, the plants acquire an orange-gold shade.

This was a sad little plant, if only the fucking birds did not eat the original plant. They are so bloody annoying. Over all plant did ok, just the runt size is a massive let down. Will just dry this and give it to a friend to smoke. This had a twin in terms of being a runt and that was with Rainbow Candy XL, and a few Dinamed seeds as well I found in the garden. @GanjaFarmerSeeds, If you like the images or videos I can send you raw files that have not been shrunk and contain no watermarks, if you feel I am in the top 3 of your BDOTY Contest that is :D

Flowering Week 6 – Fading Leaves, Persistent Flies The sixth week of flowering brought a mix of progress and persistent problems. The whitefly issue unfortunately hasn’t gone away. I replaced both yellow sticky traps at the end of the week, and within minutes, two new whiteflies were already spotted on the fresh left trap. The old one had four additional flies on the back. This pest pressure remains a concern, but I’ve decided to hold off on further neem oil sprays for now, given how far along we are in flowering. I’ll keep monitoring closely. Nutrient-wise, I stayed cautious this week due to ongoing signs of overfeeding. Leaf tips are still showing yellowing and some burn, especially on the lower leaves. Many leaves have pronounced yellow spots and curled tips — a clear sign of excess nutrients earlier on. To reduce stress, I watered with plain pH-adjusted water (5.5–6.0). Total watering volume was approximately 29 liters This week I also did a second round of lollipopping, focusing on removing all small popcorn buds and lower growth under the net that wouldn’t develop well. Despite the nutrient stress and the ongoing whitefly presence, the plants are still developing well. Buds are getting chunkier, trichome production is visibly increasing, and the overall structure is solid. Still, I’ll be keeping a close eye on both leaf health and pest activity in the coming days. ⸻ TL;DR – Week 6: • New whiteflies still showing up – 7 total seen this week. Both sticky traps replaced. • Additional lollipopping done: removed popcorn buds and shaded growth under SCROG. • Leaf symptoms (tip burn, spotting) persist – watered with plain pH water, once with half HESI dose. • Watered 3x this week: 9.5 L (pH only) • Light stayed at intensity level 7

Introduction - Week 14|07 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9437.65, Great week of growing! Wow what a good week! Growth in the main tent has all around been incredible! Submitted my first submission to the Global Grow Cup! Filmed a video of the solo cup container (marked with the ticket/order number) that will be used for the competition. Also had to fill and prove the solo cup holds 2 cups of soil. Now I need to root a clone (for the first time), transplant her into this cup, and submit my 2nd entry before the 30th of this month. As far as my first attempt at cloning, have already begun the rooting process! Managed to take cuttings from 3 out of the 6 phenos in the main tent (the first cutting was also my first time topping). Soaked the cuttings for two days before planting them into Coco Coins. So far everything has gone surprisingly well! The clones are now rooting under the propagation dome with the vents fully closed. Will check for roots soon! At the end of the week, growth was just raging! Was planning on flipping to flower in a week, but decided to begin the first week of flower next week! Thus this is the last week of veg. Plan to flip to 12/12 next Monday! Onwards to next week!

Also to prove that the container is a 16oz container and that it can hold 2 cups of soil. --- The ticket (order) number also had to be written on the cup. - [12:36]: Done! --- The video had to be done in one continuous shot with no edits (my original submission does not have the logo). --- There was also a photo that needed to be shot which shows the cup filled with 2 cups of soil (just like the video, the original image submission did not have the logo). --- I think I did everything correctly, but also sent an email for verification of submission and validation. --- Getting hyped! --- [*smokes a bowl] --- Going to defoliate today along with for the first-time, going to take cuttings for clones! --- After a bit of online research, decided to split the cloning process into two days. --- Today going to take cuttings and will soak them in a solution of aloe for 24hrs. Afterwards will change the water out and use straight distilled water. --- Then in a couple days, plan to transplant into coco plugs (Coco Coins) for rooting. --- For optimal results, also be using a rooting hormone (Clonex). --- Well.. Here goes nothing! - [17:01]: Evening check. --- Wow! #1 is looking huge! Her main top is stretching above the lower canopy which is continuing to bush out. --- #2 is growing along. Growth is gnarly and a bit droopy, but she’s getting taller! --- #3 is looking great! Still a bit small, but she is continuing to get larger. --- #4 looks like she needs a watering. --- Both plants in the back are also looking surprisingly great as well! - [17:05]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! --- As far as today's defoliation, going to leave #2 and #3 alone and will focus my defoliation and cloning on the rest of the plants. --- This will be my first attempt at cloning, also going to try topping for the first time today. --- No pressure Ensign. What can possibly go wrong right? - [17:27]: Time to start the cloning and defoliation process! --- Filled a measuring cup with 3 cups of distilled water. ------ Added 3/4tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1 more cup of distilled water --- Mixed the solution and poured an even amount into three separate solo cups. --- Made sure to mark two of the cups (#1 and #4). The unmarked one will be for any other clones from amongst the 6 phenos (if any at all). - [17:43]: Time to top and defoliate #1! --- Using a pair of brand new trimmers (AC Infinity), --- Gently cut the main stalk to even out the canopy. --- Then trimmed and cleaned most of the nodes leaving the top node or two. --- Also trimmed the leaf fingers a bit before placing the top cutting into the cup of aloe solution. --- Now for the rest of the cuttings! --- [~45 minutes later] - [18:32]: Managed to finish defoliating and cutting the rest of the clones. --- Took two more lower cuttings from #1 (3 clones total). --- Took 3 lower cuttings from #4 --- While defoliating, decided to try and clone the original #2 pheno as well. Took 4 small cuttings. --- Similar to the top cutting, trimmed and cleaned each lower node for each cutting before placing them into the cups. --- Before finishing up the 2nd cutting, I noticed the first cutting (the top cut that was also trimmed) was drooping. --- So I did not trim and the leaf fingers for the other cuttings. --- In total there were 10 cuttings taken for potential clones. --- My main focus was to take cuttings and to clean up all the lower growth from both #1 and #4. --- Defoliated and cleaned up the back original phenos as well (also trimmed back the cover crop). - [18:35]: Temporarily placed the cuttings onto the floor of the 4x4 tent. --- Took the trimmings (about 3 cups) and spread them onto the top mulch of #1 and #2. --- Time to set the environmental controls for the 3x3 veg tent. - [18:43]: Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the grow light. ------ Set the Mode to ‘On Mode’ ------ Set the START/END times to 04:00PM/10:00AM ------ Set the MAX to 1 --- The IonBoard S33 is now utilizing around 60.8W (at intensity 1 out of 10). --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the exhaust fan. ------ Increased the Humidity’s HIGH trigger value from 81% to 87% --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Decreased the VPD target value from 1.5kPa to 0.8kPa - [18:52]: Moved the cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- It begins! I think. --- Going to let these cutting drink some aloe for a day before switching to straight distilled water. --- Hmm. Could be the white floor of the 3x3 veg tent, but have noticed the S33 has a whiter spectrum whereas the FC-6500 seems to be warmer in color. --- Anyways, - [18:58]: Poured 4 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [19:06]: Filled a pump sprayer with 5 cups of distilled water. --- Focused mainly on the straw mulch of #4. --- But also misted the straw mulch for the rest of the plants a bit. - [19:12]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. - [19:44]: Going to be using Clonex rooting gel before planting the cuttings into Coco Coins (pre-soaked with microbes and aloe). But before that begins, going to transfer the Clonex gel into a squeeze bottle. --- Gently peeled back the seal on the original Clonex bottle. Just enough make a tiny opening, --- Then slowly and carefully poured the gel into an empty squeeze bottle. --- Also removed the sticker from the original bottle and placed it onto the new one. - [19:54]: Perfect! --- Instead of applying the gel to the cutting, going to be applying the gel to the Coco Coin. --- This squeeze bottle will make applying the gel a lot easier. --- Will take PPFD readings tomorrow. --- Also will change out the aloe solution to distilled water. --- I really hope I didn’t screw things up before they could even begin. --- Don’t die on me ladies! --- Please. Day 03 - Wednesday - 06/05/24 - Total Days: 100 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.9°F [27.7°C] - Humidity: 75.5% - VPD: 0.90 kPa - Soil %: [29, 36, 38, 36] ----------------------------------- - [09:40]: Quick morning check! --- #1 is looking a bit droopy, but looking okay. Topping is a high stress technique so going to take some time to recover. Don’t plan on flipping the main 4x4 tent to flower for a good week or so which should be enough time. --- #4 looks great! The defoliation seems to have no effect on growth. Nice! - [09:41]: Also quickly checked on the 3x3 veg tent, --- Nice! The cuttings are looking great! --- No yellowing and they all seemed to have turned up towards the light. --- So far so good! - [22:53]: Evening check. --- #1 is continuing to dominate this grow! She has spread wide and looking incredible! --- #2 is looking gnarly, but getting there. --- #3 is getting larger! But still a runt. By far, her leaves are the darkest of the bunch, but she is still growing! --- #4 looks happy and growing along beautifully! Wow! - [22:55]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! - [22:59]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 2 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [23:05]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The cuttings are still green! Nice! - [23:07]: Took PPFD readings. --- The cuttings were around 121 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 7.84 mol/m²/d --- Nice! These levels are on the lower range for seedlings (~100-300), perfect! I think. - [23:14]: Swapped the aloe water out to straight distilled water. --- Going to let these cuttings soak for one more day before planting. --- Please don’t die girls! - [23:15]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. --- Ooo yea! --- Tomorrow is the big rooting day! Day 04 - Thursday - 06/06/24 - Total Days: 101 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 81.9°F [27.7°C] - Humidity: 75.2% - VPD: 0.91 kPa - Soil %: [32, 38, 38, 34] ----------------------------------- - [16:20]: Evening check. --- #1 is a bit droopy, but growth is looking green and healthy. --- #2 is looking bigger! She’s also looking sort of droopy. --- #3 is growing along nicely! Looking good girl! --- #4 is looking great! A bit droopy but plan to water today. - [16:23]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- EB1's reservoir still has some water. --- EB2's reservoir was completely dry! - [16:23]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 28% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 36% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 37% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 30% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [16:30]: Using a pump sprayer, --- Misted the straw mulch of #4 with 6 cups of distilled water. --- Focused mainly on the straw mulch. --- Also misted the straw mulch of #3 (in the grassroots fabric pot) a bit. - [16:43]: Poured 5 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 3 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [16:52]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 56% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 44% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 40% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 45% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [17:01]: Took general PPFD readings. --- #1 was around 379 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 24.56 mol/m²/d --- #2 was around 333 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 21.58 mol/m²/d --- #3 was around 293 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 18.99 mol/m²/d --- #4 was around 378 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 24.49 mol/m²/d - [17:09]: Took the weekly height and light distance measurements. --- #1 was about 21" tall. --- #2 was about 13.5" tall. --- #3 was about 9.5" tall. --- #4 was about 19.25" tall. --- Hmm.. - [17:19]: Adjusted the right oscillating fan a bit. --- Re-angled the CloudRay S6 oscillating fan upwards. Been noticing that the air has been hitting the tops of the plants so easing off a bit (#1 is still getting hit, but she’s huge so not too worried). - [17:23]: Back to the measurements! --- #1 was about 9.5" away from the grow light. --- #2 was about 17" away from the grow light. --- #3 was about 17.5" away from the grow light. --- #4 was about 11.5" away from the grow light. - [17:46]: Checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Cuttings are still green! They do look a bit droopy but no signs of yellowing. --- Okay! - [17:55]: Time to begin the rooting process! --- For my first attempt at rooting, going to be using Coco Coins pre-soaked in saponins, microbes and aloe. --- To further help with rooting, going to also be using Clonex rooting gel. --- Filled a measuring cup with 4 cups of distilled water. ------ Added half of 1/64tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] ------ Added 1/16tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/8tsp of Mycrobe Complete --- Mixed the solution thoroughly. --- Time for the Coco Coins! --- 10 cuttings means 10 Coco Coins. - [18:09]: Dropped 10 Coco Coins into the measuring cup. --- The coins immediately started to expand. --- A bit too much.. Oops! --- Poured the solution and Coco Coins into a pitcher. --- Added 2 cups of distilled water to the solution (now at 6 cups). --- Great! The coins are pretty much fully expanded, but going to wait a bit longer to fully saturate each coin. --- [~20-30 minutes later] - [18:42]: Great! --- Took the seedling and flood tray from the AC Infinity propagation dome and placed all 10 Coco Coins into the slots. --- Gave each Coco Coin a quick shake to remove excess solution. The coins were not dripping with solution but still pretty saturated. --- Arranged them into 3 groups with the cuttings in mind. --- Also tried to keep the pre-made holes intact. --- Time to inoculate the Coco Coins! - [18:54]: Using a squeeze bottle, --- While keeping the nozzle from making contact with the coco, gently filled each pre-made hole with Clonex rooting gel. Just enough gel to fully cover the hole of each coco coin. - [19:00]: Time to plant the cuttings! --- Gave each cup a misting of distilled water. Focused on wetting the top growth with water. --- Okay! --- To avoid mixing cuttings up. - [19:01]: Starting with the original #2 pheno cup, --- For each cutting, --- Using a pair of clean trimmers, made a final 45° cut about 1/2" from a bottom node. --- Then stripped away and scared the protective membrane below the node before planting. --- Made sure the node was about 1/2" below the surface of the coco. --- To help with planting, while inserting each cutting, gave the Coco Coin a gentle squeeze to loosen the coco. This also helped to ensure the coco and gel was in good contact with the cutting. --- Once the cutting was planted into the Coco Coin, made sure to place back in the same spot (made sure to keep the cuttings in their groupings). --- Once a cup was complete, made sure to keep the label with the group. --- Re-misted the top growth as needed to keep it wet. --- Also wiped the trimmers with isopropyl alcohol in between cuttings (plan to use 10% bleach solution for next time). --- Repeated this process until all 10 cuttings were cut, planted, and in the tray. --- The coco coins fit perfectly into the tray and don’t reach the bottom. Nice! --- The bottom air gap is important. --- Poured a bit of distilled water through one of the empty slots into the bottom of the tray. Just enough to fill the bottom of the tray, but not enough to reach any of the Coco Coins (~1/4cup). - [19:35]: Placed the propagation tray with cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Placed the first layer of the propagation dome on before giving the sides a misting of distilled water. --- Also sprayed the top of the propagation dome before covering the cuttings. --- Vents are all fully closed. - [19:40]: Placed the bar lights onto the top of the dome before configuring the controller. ------ Set the START/END times to 04:00PM/10:00AM ------ Set the bar light’s intensity to 2 (out of 10). --- Also made sure the propagation light controller’s time was in sync with the Controller 69 Pro. - [19:47]: Took PPFD readings. --- The cuttings were around 136 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 8.81 mol/m²/d --- The PPFD levels are similar to the floor. --- Perfect! --- Going leave the IonBoard S33 on during this rooting process. --- Will check back tomorrow to cycle the air under the dome. - [19:56]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water. - [20:17]: Quick night check! --- Ooo yea! Growth is raging and looking perky! --- Mainly checked on #1 and #4 which were looking incredible! --- Keep on growing ladies! Day 05 - Friday - 06/07/24 - Total Days: 102 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages [~23:00] - Temps: 82.7°F [28.2°C] - Humidity: 76.2% - VPD: 0.89 kPa - Soil %: [37, 40, 38, 35] ----------------------------------- - [10:03]: Decided to increase the ambient temp in the 3x3 veg tent. --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- For the Veg Tent [3x3] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Vegetative [18/6]' Schedule for the heater. ------ Increased the Temp target value from 78°F to 82°F --- Hopefully this will help to keep the veg tent at a more consistent temp. - [22:26]: Evening check. --- Ooo yea! The garden is looking incredible! --- #1 is looking perky and just bushing out! Wow! --- #2 is getting big! Growth is weird and leaf fingers are huge!

Seems everyone has fully recovered from the defoliation and topping! --- Wow #1 is bushed out and looking incredible! --- #2 is growing really starting to get large! Growth still is funky, but stoked none-the-less. --- #3 is starting to fill in the pot! Getting larger! --- Wow! #4 is getting taller and looks healthy and green! - [19:12]: Checked down both fill tubes. --- Both reservoirs were completely dry! --- Wow the canopy is really starting to get taller and closer to the light. May need to raise it up soon. --- Absolutely surprised how low the light levels have been throughout this entire cycle. Barely moved the light and have not increased the intensity past 2 (out of 10). Less is really more. --- Anyways! - [19:18]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: --- 36% - [CH01 EB1 - Garlic Budder #1] --- 41% - [CH02 EB2 - Garlic Budder #2] --- 37% - [CH03 GFP - Garlic Budder #3] --- 34% - [CH04 FPT - Garlic Budder #4] - [19:19]: Poured 6 cups of distilled water down EB1’s fill tube. --- Poured 3 cups of distilled water down EB2’s fill tube. - [19:24]: Checked propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Sweet!

Hey Guys, Growth has taken off a lot this past week, have had to add a heater to the grow which isn’t ideal but with warmer months coming this should only be temporary. I have the thermostat set to start the heater when temps go below 23°c. Watching Dr Bruce Bugbee on YouTube, he stated that growth does start to suffer below this temperature. One of the plants has some odd colours and growth which I’m pretty sure is Mg deficiency, which is probably due to that particular girl being more sensitive to PH swings than the rest of the ladies. I have had to insulate some of the circulating pipes as the water cooler was struggling to keep the water baths cool. Seems to have helped keep temps down a couple more degrees, I mate have to reconfigure where my water cooler is in the piping run after this grow Finally a special thanks to the GD team for selecting my previous diary for DOTM, very flattering considering some of the great content that was submitted for March 2020! Happy growing all!

Hey guys :-) Today a new diary starts with a strain from Amsterdam Genetics that I'm really looking forward to ☺️. I put 2 seeds to germinate. The more beautiful phenotype is kept in this diary, the other one is of course also preserved and is grown to the end 👍 . Of course everyone will be on instagram. (Maybe I will spontaneously start an extra diary with each phenotype, depending on whether time permits. Since I still have 3 seeds left, they will also come in the course of time 😃. The seeds were placed between damp paper towels to germinate. As soon as the first life appears they come to root in rockwool cubes and a greenhouse hood where there is a very high humidity. In addition, the greenhouse is heated so that the roots can develop nicely 👍. This passage is fertilized with the Greenhouse Feeding Bio line 💚. I'm really looking forward to growing with Amsterdam genetics because everything I've had from them so far has been very good 👍. Have fun with the update and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/us/ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.amsterdamgenetics.com/product/choco-cheesecake/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

Bud forming so fast!!!!!! Comparing to previous plants I growth in witch I used biobizz light soil I changed kind of soil in this one I’m using canna professional and the different is quite noticeable I’m really satisfied. I was worried that the small box I’m growing in would eventually make the plant suffer but it’s totally not, the plant is responding well!! Started with the maximum dose of bud ignitor by advanced nutrient. I’m really exited for this lady can’t wait to se the beautiful complete resinous buds.. keeping growing with LOVE 💚
