19 plants down.... all tangerine skunk clones, and 2 others CF3🍊 x SFK and 🍎Apple Sundae🍏 from seed..... 21 and done That was the most I have ever finished in the greenhouse, I over loaded my system.... that is for sure. I battled PM and mites. But I kept them in check. And I WON... winner winner chicken dinner. So I chose chicken enchiladas!!!! I got a couple grams.... and I shut the greenhouse down.... I guess I should do a harvest even though this diary is not complete. I will never give an honest weight 😈... I tell you that now. But I will weigh one plant, for the average. Just for my own knowledge. 🤗 It was a great run 🤩.... every bit of it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 😁 I couldn't be happier 😁

Week 5 of flower and the buds are stacking up nice. Plenty of white hairs and the smell is starting to kick up. I’ve got 5 plants. 4 hydro, 1 soil. The soil nugs are getting fat!

They are coming along very nicely. I took my first cutting from the mother this week. I cut her back to the 4th node and began cloning the cutting. I trimmed the leaves and branches below the top and put her in a net pot with about an inch of her stem extending below the pot that was dipped in clonex gel. I put the net pot in my veg tank and hopefully I’ll get roots in the next week or two. Thanks again for looking!

Getting there... cant wait for Spring Walls are up and painted, floor is laid, electrical all done, exhaust outlets mounted. Ive started to install the trim - I decided to put a grey stain instead of boring paint on the floor trim boards. Looks really solid against the dark bamboo floors. I used two gallons and two coats of flat pure white paint for walls and ceiling. Should give me a reflectivity somewhere around 80%. Some may ask why not opt for mylar? I just dont like the look. I dont care too much for reflectivity, as I will be well above the required watts/sqft with the light setup I will be using. I mounted an electrical receptacle in the ceiling, I thought it may come in handy for cord management. Im going to mount the 3 x meanwell drivers outside of the grow room and run some extra long cables to them. This is to keep heat out of the room, any little bit helps. Will be running a 8inch fan with about 750 CFM in order to properly vent the room. Intake will be a door vent and the negative pressure the fan provides. Odor is not too much of a concern, but may as well add a carbon filter. Tables to be built this week after trim is installed Week 1 Spend - $2080 Week 2 Spend - $350 (mostly on hardware store visits) Total so far - $2430

3.2.2024: Start of week 7 from seed. Fed 1/4 fox farm trio nutes plus calmag. 64oz at 6.5ph. There's some clear nute burn on the leaf tips but she's doing well. Super puffy bud sites with tons of long white pistils. Few random orange hairs here and there. 3.3.2024: Day 44 from seed. Steady as she goes. No change to current state. 3.4.2024: Watered 64oz at 6.5ph. No change...chugging along. 3.5.2024: Day 46. Buds are forming nicely. Some red hairs and trichomes on the sugar leaves. 3.6.2024: Day 47. Fed again at 1/4 strength with 3/4 gal of 6.5ph. Runoff tested at 6.49 just around 1000ppm. Solution going in was 300ppm 3.7.2024: Day 48. Plant doing its thing. One fan leave on the top has a touch of brown/red spotting. Can't tell if its light/nute related. Good bud development all around. 3.8.2024: Day 49, end of week 7 from seed. Watered 96oz at 6.38ph. Runoff ppm at 1050 with ph at 6.7. She appears to being doing great. Super stoked to see the bud development over the past week. I'm thinking the reddish hues the top sugar leaves are showing might be purple which is kinda cool. Doesn't seem like a deficency.

Noticed the purple hues come out more with the use of ice on top of the soil.

5/17 Hello everyone! Not many pics this time around, it's been a busy week! Marie has grown so much in the past week that it touched the lamp, no burns only because it's a low power light and I have a feeling that the reflective box does much of the work when it comes to lighting. Anyway, today I spent some time attaching the lamp to the top of the box as you can see from the video, I think it works great! Watered as usual, 1lt PHd @6.3 +-0.2 when the soil dries (2-3 days) and added some extra Bio-Grow; I also took the occasion to defoliate again, I want more light to reach lower nugs and I've also noticed how when I defoliate the air in the box is much fresher and clean. Week 10 will mark the full switch to flowering nutes, I'll have 3 weeks to nuke the s**t out of this plant with nutrients before flushing, fingers crossed! Let's make some calculations over the growth in height: Week 8: +13cm Week 9: +15cm Assuming +15cm as the max growth rate (I sure hope so), and considering that this plant will take a maximum of 14 weeks from germination (14th being the harvesting week), we're looking at: Week 10: 83cm Week 11: 98cm Week 12: 113cm Week 13: 128cm Week 14: 143cm Which is a whole 25 cm more than my box! XD, hopefully, once we reach week 11 (so next week) it will slow down, after all, 120cm is the maximum height for these genetics (but I hope it's a bit lower like 100 cm would be perfect)

She hermied on us so this may be the last time we plant an unknown seed indoors, this set us back about 3 weeks. ..we plan on putting all of this plant towards edibles ..This wasn't a total waste imo..we learned a valuable lesson on taking unnecessary risks :)

She's over doubled her height this week!!!!!!!!!! Looks like she's going great! An educated guess says she is just about to enter flowering in the coming week.

Dear friends, this diary tells the story of the development of two Runtz for convenience I divided the harvests, if you want to see the other plant is documented in the week before the harvest. I'll tell you about the Zamnesia Runtz that you see in the photos and below my general opinion on the harvest and the strain. This phenotype has been really very elegant since the beginning or at least since the main cola began to take over. The flower has a very kush shape, different from the other main cola a little less resinous but bigger very very beautiful indeed. The plants are not giants by definition, this is a very stable strain with not very high heights, the yield is always medium high but the strong point is definitely the quality of the flower. Beautiful plant, beautiful main cola. Mature very red pistils resin overflowing for real. The purple color is really super beautiful I'll prepare a nice video where I'll show it to you. The trichomes are multicolored due to the presence of purple, here too we have stuff from pink to fuchsia to dark purple plus the classic colors, the maturation is at a point that I don't mind at all. In weight we will be around 40 - 50 grams but of excellent quality, let's wait for the dry sla and see. Perfect strain compliments to Zamnesia breeder. Most likely nowadays those who give the impression of doing Cannabis Industry manage to provide a product of extreme quality much more than the small breeders who are all stealing strains from California and crossing them with their little experiments. It is no longer the era of the flower children although we have to thank them for the anarchic work they did in the 60s and 70s now it's time to work well, cannabis is spreading all over the world and you can compete with the Americans only by working well, like they do in Zamnesia. How can I prove it to you? In the years in which I was a tester the breeders made me try a lot of good stuff but often, very often, too often I found hermaphrodites. Now always bringing up good luck, touching wood, where the sun don't shine, doing all the appropriate spells of the case we are at ZERO HERMAPHRODITES. No seeds, no balls, nothing at all and after all the years that I have heard the "expert freaks" of breeding talk now I feel like recommending the seeds of the industries much more than the small houses. I thank all the good operators of small houses and I apologize to them but I will never grow their stuff again there is an exaggerated percentage of hermaphrodites. The industries whether you like it or not guarantee success rates much much better. Especially for the wave of beginners arriving. Zamnesia Strain Description // Guys, we have really reached a turning point! Our breeders have recreated one of the most sought-after strains by Californians: the very powerful and exquisitely delicious Runtz.

Another good week! I fed them once on Monday. A final shot to boost them for finishing up. I am pretty certain they will finish within 2 weeks.I also watered them on Thursday and today (Sunday). I defoliated both plants earlier this week as well. For one, I needed to open the canopy up to help keep the humidity down but, there were a lot of leaves yellowing and turning brown. I was not feeding them correctly... in the sense that I wasn't watering enough in between feeds. There were excess nutrients built up in the soil and I believe that led to the nutrient burn. Also, this was my first and only feed without the Grow Big due to flushing for week 9. I followed the Fox Farm feed schedule... but, I think I needed to understand my plants better! I also believe I stunted these girls! One is about 24" tall and the other is 21" tall. Both on the very low end of the growth chart. Overall, I am very happy!! So much to experience and learn in such a short window of time! I've thoroughly enjoyed this grow! I look forward to the harvest and experiencing all that is to come! One last thing... Anyone use GrowBuddy and any word on what is going on with the current download? I've followed the drama around taking so long and all that (the new hardware soon to be for sale for 2.0)... but, the website now says the software is available for free and working on Macs and Windows.... So, I downloaded it last night and I cannot activate an account. Everything has a greyed over kind of look... So, I assume they took some part of their servers offline... Anyone know if this is accurate and has anyone else activated a new account recently? Thanks for any insight!! Peace!

🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 Welcome to week 2! Dedication is the task now, and I really enjoy caring for the little fish cookie.. 😍 I can clearly see how increasing the EC will bring the leaves up. So interesting. Giving her EC 0.9 now and flushing the whole medium every 3 or 4 days, to make sure it always has the intended nutes and not more. 💧 I kind of like coco. 😊 The nutrient solution is always used up much faster than I expected.. I feel in the flow at the moment with this. 🌊 Thanks, growmies, for checking in! 💚 💚 💚 😘 Let's start 2023 with a wave of love and peace! 🙏 ____________________________________________________________________ Strain info: Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. Thanks to the 27% THC, you can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrusy and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more. Bud description Tropicana Cookies Auto produces gorgeous dark purple flowers, so expect really dark buds with gorgeous hues of pink, purple and blue, and thick dark-orange hairs that get completely covered in resin by harvest time, giving them an almost shiny-white appearance.  This variety develops a typical Indica-like structure and very few sugar leaves that will make your trimming sessions a breeze. But make sure to store your trimmings as the gorgeous flowers reek of a mouth-watering blend of lemon peels, orange juice, and sandalwood that gives it almost a citrus candy-like flavor that makes for the most aromatic hash and extractions.Smoke report Thanks to the 27% THC, Tropicana Cookies Auto’s effect starts with an energizing head rush that gets your mind up and running while leaving you in a nice calm state. As the Indica-dominant side kicks in, the powerful cerebral effect gradually moves downwards and hits your whole body with a deep relaxation that leaves you with a joyful stoney sensation that alleviates chronic pain while leaving you in an overall happy and positive state of mind.  It’s the perfect daytime and nighttime strain as it can boost your mood and enhance a night out with friends but can also quiet your mind as you get ready for a good night of sleep. No matter the scenario, expect a powerful high that lasts for hours on end.Plant appearance Tropicana Cookies Auto reaches up to 110cm and develops a tall main cola with shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. You can expect a stocky yet tall main cola with medium-sized side branches and thin fan leaves that fade into a yellowish hue with a beautiful dark purple tint. Thanks to the excellent selection, this variety develops a short internodal spacing that makes the medium-sized flowers look like they’re growing stacked on top of each other. It’s the ideal choice for growers who want to get big yields without having to deal with huge plants, as this monster yielder can produce up to 150g per plant while growing relatively short. Grow tips This variety grows super dense buds so make sure to space out the branches by tying them down, this way you improve airflow which helps prevent mold and other pests. Tropicana Cookies auto reek of a delicious sweet and sour smell so make sure to flush thoroughly to enhance the aromas even more. This terpene heavyweight finishes with lots of resinous sugar leaves that make for fantastic hash and extractions so remember to have your trim bucket ready!Flavor Tropicana Cookies Auto boasts remarkably sweet flavors that resemble a blend of lemon peels and fresh orange juice, with subtle floral undertones that make it the perfect choice for extractors looking for unique terpene profiles. Expect an overall citrusy zest that’ll coat your whole mouth and leave a delicious tropical candy-like flavor aftertaste. The sweet and sour flavors get balanced out with a herbal background that gets stronger as you exhale and gradually opens up, bringing out the whole range of woody, floral, and spicy flavors, making it the perfect choice for the most flavorful extracts. https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/tropicana-cookies-auto _________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! ❤️ If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) ✨ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Mills Nutrients Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cm³/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow + Bloom to pH 6.2 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡

Moved to a 1000watt HPS, added 350 CFM exhaust fan, lights on at 4am- 10pm, air temp peeks at 3-4pm near 78-80F, Leaf surface temp 80-85, took plant about 23 hours after light switch to adjust (slowed growth seen in time lapse) everything is back to normal now the stretch is real. Smell is strong (no carbon filter) and I can smell it from the exhaust outside. Never used an HPS only LEDs.
