I have to thank @Kannabia and @GreenBuzzNutrients for supporting this crop with their premium produce. No doubt these guys do a great job. Specifically, this crop was fast and quite stable. To get its full potential I would use automatic irrigation or hydroponic cultivation. I would also make sure the stems have enough support to support their heavy buds. This is quite a monster in the making!

She's officially shifting from stacking into ripening. This week she got another Build-A-Bloom feeding along with Recharge, and the flowers are swelling nicely. The fade is progressing, but the buds continue to frost up and pack on weight every day. Purple hues are getting deeper, the trichomes keep spreading, and she's looking like she's'll finish strong. Just keeping her happy and letting her do her thing from here.

Fast bud growth, very vigorous strain when paired with organics.

A lot happened this week but she seems to be recovering and not worsening. I fed plain ph’d water end of last week but got a little too cavalier with too much top feeding and adding stuff without adjusting ph. All the top feeding is how debris and runoff kept getting into the base and mucking it up. I was out of homemade calmag so I had a bottle coming in the mail. I ended up adding calmag to not a lot of water and not ph’ing it and top feeding/pouring rest into the watering base later in the day after adding plain ph’d water. Wrong move. She appeared to slow down drinking but I chalked it up to a full base and plenty of top feed. Topsoil dried out very fast but I let her sit assuming she would start drinking eventually. This continued for 3-4 days, and also was happening to one of the photos I did the same thing to. Starting smelling something rank around this time so I checked the bases and found what is in pics 9+10. Ph was 8.5 and had this brown chunky film all over!! Took out all 3 bases and scrubbed thoroughly with soap and water and rinsed with some vinegar. I was worried about how dry and hard the soil/roots must be but I also didn’t want to do a full flush so close to her finishing. I opted to put 1/2 strength tiger bloom/big bloom and full strength calmag into full 1.8 gal water can ph’d to 6.5 and top feed slowly over ~20 min so it didn’t just rinse everything out. About 20% runoff which tested at 5.8 which seemed a little low but not as terrible as I feared. Cleaned the base back out after no more runoff and refilled with normal strength tiger bloom and calmag, ph’d to 6.5. This seems to have been the right move, 60 hours after flushing/cleaning/refilling, she has drank 75% of the base and topsoil is also not dried out. But we’re not done!!! The 2 photos also got a clean base and proper refill. The next day I checked the bases and found some insects on top of the water in ALL 3 bases shown in the last 2 pics. Teeny white things that kinda jumped on top of the water and seemed to stay underneath the fill port to get some of the light coming through? Hard to identify but I think they might have been springtails and not something destructive. Either way I made a weak vinegar/water solution and sprayed them aggressively over 24 hours and they seemed to die and not return. Only saw them in the bases and not anywhere on the plant. A lot of the leaf tip curling and spots spread from last week but seems to be contained and not worsening at the time of writing this. It seems contained to the top ~30% of the fan leaves and minimally on sugar leaves. While her buds did grow and thicken, I’m sure this set her back a little. All in all she had the water ph imbalance, definitely some light stress, nute burn and a little potassium deficiency. Got a little cheap digital microscope as well, trichomes still maturing with at least 30% still clear, plenty of white pistils as well. Some purple coming in on sugar leaf tips. Smell is much stronger. Idk if this is indicative of the buds as well or the “right way” but if I remove any small fan leaves I swipe the stem between two fingers to smell the oils. Still giving a very strong funky citrus scent with an earthy finish. Flipped lights to 12/12 for the photos at the end of the week. I just couldn’t wait any longer with how big the photos are. It also didn’t help that when I adjusted the light for the mimosa and moved it to the middle, the photos were getting much less and resulted in them stretching a lot with too much internode spacing. Not the end of the world but supercropping is definitely in their future.

Veg Week 5 Day 35 to 41 - 3/25 to 3/31 This week is primarily test training recovery. Seeing each recent topping was at the 3 node point I topped again. Follow up of the cola breaks was nice for all but 1, The worst break (the one with tape over it) actually recovered very well, I see no future issues from that branch other than monitor for weight tears. The next worse break on the other plant wasnt so fortunate. While it started out okay, it also kept ripping under its own weight as it grew topping wasnt only beneficial, it was the only thing that allowed this branch to survive past the day (lesson here is to make sure all breaks are back supported early while they recover at least) I think this branch may need to be supported for the entire grow, and the amount of recovery time is possibly past the point of which I would want to see in a normal grow since it may not produce nearly as well as the other colas. The lighter break on each plant look to have taken advantage of the damage and produces giant knuckles of cured hardwood at the breaks. This is exactly the kind of recovery I want to see since all future water ways will pass these points and the branch will still be strong enough to support future weight of giant flowers. Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 300ppm total before add-ins. I used 300ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and NO Bloom concentrate mix (just showing the recipe in week 5- I am adding it in week 6). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 6.0 Next week I plan to top cut the branches again and change out the feeds with 350ppm at 6.0ph

Die neue Woche im Growzelt fühlt sich ein bisschen an wie ein Besuch bei einem übermotivierten Fitnessstudio-Neuling: alles wächst, alles drängt nach vorne, und niemand kennt sein Limit. Der Permanent Marker steht da wie eine gedrungene Schönheit mit breiten Indica-Blättern, so gesund, dass man fast ein schlechtes Gewissen bekommt, überhaupt eine Schere in die Hand zu nehmen. Triebe überall, kräftig, ehrgeizig, alle mit dem festen Vorsatz, der Main Character zu sein. Die Auswahl, wer bleiben darf, gleicht eher einer Castingshow als Gartenarbeit, denn eigentlich hätte jeder eine Runde weiter verdient. Der Nodienabstand ist so kurz, dass man zweimal hinschauen muss, um überhaupt zu sehen, wo ein Abschnitt endet und der nächste beginnt, was das Ganze nicht gerade einfacher macht. Die Pflanze verträgt Dünger, als wäre es ein Energy-Drink, und quittiert jede Gabe mit noch mehr Wachstum, sehr erfreulich, aber auch leicht beunruhigend, wenn man Richtung Zeltdecke schielt. SCROG rückt damit endgültig vom netten Plan zur absoluten Notwendigkeit auf. Ein Trieb hat sich im Eifer des Gefechts verabschiedet (RIP, kleiner Held), wurde aber stoisch weggesteckt. Die verbleibenden Kandidaten haben die frei gewordene Energie dankend übernommen. Insgesamt bleibt das Gefühl: alles läuft hervorragend, vielleicht sogar zu hervorragend. Wenn das so weitergeht, wird nicht die Frage sein, ob der Permanent Marker performt, sondern ob das Zelt am Ende groß genug für seinen Ehrgeiz ist. Was sagt ihr zu unserem Permanent Marker?

Temps at 78-84 f, humidity inside dome around 68-76 depending on temps. Direct planting into coco jiffy plugs, charged with a light seaweed extract. Took 2 days exactly for seed to pop out of plugs. Another day to remove its shell, will start counting as day 1 from here on out. Check out my other diaries for the other strains. 1 gelat.og auto (seedsman) and 2 extreme impact auto (heavyweight seeds)

Day 101, been cutting off fan leaves on lower nodes, adding ice cubes and spraying cold water on buds. Expecting about 5 more weeks till harvest but I don’t know just guessing Also I don’t know how to change the question so I’m gonna put it here, has anyone tried to defoliate some smaller colas then tie them together will that be beneficial for bigger bud(promote one another) or is it better to leave oxygen to pass through, thanks

Apple Fritter is looking pretty neat. Plus the mutation cola dead center is a new one for me. I am not sure what that is called. Still neat!
