2/6/2023 - Day 35: After the watering yesterday the girls perked up, but they were already getting dry again. I was originally planning on waiting longer to transplant, but I felt like they were out growing their 1 gallon pots. Also, after checking their roots I could tell they were ready, so I transplanted today. Watered in with about 1.5 gallons at 6.4 ph. I know they say you don't need to ph water in a large bed like this, but my water is really bad here. At times it can be over 8 ph out of the tap. Mixed my water with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Micro Complete, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, fresh aloa juice from my garden, and BuildASoil Big 6 Micro nutrients. 2/10/2023 - Day 39 Veg: now that the plants are in the 3x3 bed, there is much less maintenance. I'm using an Ecowitt to track the soul moister. It started at 33% when I watered on Monday, and is at 33% today. I want to let it drop below 30% before watering again. I did do my weekly IPM spray today, using Dr. Zymes Eliminator. Also, I noticed some slight leaf discoloration, so I added some Pure Protein Dry and BuildASoil Big 6 micronutrients to the foliar spray, which I sprayed at lights out. A had a small amout of the mix left after all plants were sprayed, so i used it to slightly mist the top soil. Not sure I'd the discoloration is the start of a deficiency or just left over from the under watering last week. Figured the foliar feeding wouldn't hurt either way. 2/12/2022 - Day 41: Soil moisture dropped to 30% today, so I watered with a worm casting tea. Added some Rootwise Micro Complete, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, and Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja. Watered about 8 liters and gave the plants a foliar feed with the tea as well. All of the plants look pretty good. The Grand Prix 2 has some leaf curl and I'm not sure what is causing it, since the other 3 aren't showing similar symptoms. Thought it might be light or heat stress, since it is the tallest plant, so I raised the light and dropped the high temp down a few degrees. Also, the Frozen White Runtz is the smallest of all 4 and seems to be growing slow. We'll have to see how they all respond to the tea.

My Rainbow Melon plant is still one of the biggest in the tent, and it's definitely the smelliest so far. The only thing I'm not crazy about is how big the leaves are getting. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

The photoperiodic Blue Dream gave us this magnificent main cola which is the most exciting visual part but guys, you should smell what this beauty has. A real marvel I am very happy with her. Also here excellent resin and resistance to the first heat. ** Remember that we have two plants per strain one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. Description // This plant was simply left to grow straight, free and beautiful and the result was really excellent. The scent is its hidden strength, great fragrance in the room and soon in the jars. It did not give us particular problems and was very fast to flower. Trichomes and maturation // We did a thorough microscopic analysis 10x (and 10x x 1.6) and noticed a good percentage of milky/lumpy trichomes; The percentage of amber trichomes was also excellent and still a bit transparent, but that's fine for us as we're not crazy about THC oxidation and hyper indica effects around here. Fertilizers and soil // We used the Plagron organic fertilizer range, all the recommended additives and Pro Mix soil, both unfertilized and organic. Calculate the dosage according to your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ The nutrients are available in convenient packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html Try this strain, it's more than promising ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/3271-zamnesia-seeds-blue-dream-feminized.html Zamnesia Short Description // Exceptionally tasty and potent, Blue Dream by Zamnesia Seeds is a distinctive and sophisticated hybrid. A blend of Haze and Blueberry strains, it manages to bring out the best of both worlds. Its short flowering time of just 9 weeks far surpasses that of other Haze strains! From the moment you take your first toke of Blue Dream your taste buds will be intoxicated by a delicious blend of berry, citrus and sweet flavours. As for the experience, Blue Dream induces an incredible uplifting and euphoric high. But be careful, if you consume large quantities you will quickly be swept away to dreamland. This overwhelming potency not only makes Blue Dream particularly attractive to recreational users, but also to medical marijuana users. Those suffering from anxiety, stress, insomnia, depression, pain and lack of appetite will find this plant particularly effective in reducing symptoms. The whole world of growing and more is at Zamnesia, just take a look at the site and you'll find "the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are fantastic and the old ones are no exception... -- // www.zamnesia.com

I can never talk bad on auto flowers. I did not pay much attention to these girls and it shows but the genetics from FASTBUDS were so good that the quality of the buds was still A1. I bought more FASTBUDS seeds and will grow them in my new setup and hopefully I can maximize the yields this time around.

THIS SUCKS. I HAD PICTURES AND THE DIARY ALL FILLED OUT AND IT DIDNT SAVE. 5/8 watered. A little less than usual. A little over 2 Gatorade bottles total. I wrote a repirt but it didn't save. I fimmed a couple gmos. 5/9 I've noticed burns but I think it's from direct sunlight from south facing windows. The blinds had a little spot where a stream of light could come in. I've put card board over the blind to minimize any direct light coning in. The 3 plants in reveg seem to be coming out of it. I've noticed pretty good growth. I switched the bloom light on for a couple hours today to see if the plants could take it. I bitched out though and ended up shutting it off. Won't be long and they'll be going outside. Three seedlings have come up. All autos I believe. I hope they don't stay stunted but we'll see. 5/10 Seedlings (3) are doing good. Soil seemed dry on the event horizons. I don't know whats going on with the toasted toffy that's all twisted up. It WAS rootbound af and revegged. Fan is blowing directly on plants and I think that may be a factor. I've got a lot of work to do. Thos site keeps not saving my. UPDATE: I switched the bloom switch on around 2:30 and checked on plants around seven and they were perking right up. The toaster toffy seemed to have perked up as well but I noticed some tips are burnt. I think it was from a hole in the blinds though seeing the rest of the plant has a good response ad well as the rest of the garden. I'll know for sure tomorrow. I worked on cleaning the cage and ill finish that tomorrow. 5/10 WATERED. USED THREE GATORADE BOTTLES TOTAL. EVENT HORIZON AMD TOASTED TOFFY SEEM TO DRINK MORE WATER. I noticed some (burns/bleaching?) On some new growth on that weird twisted toffy. Also on like a tiny leaf on the bottom of a plant but no other damage. Leaves seem to have longer petioles now which I read is a symptom of light burn. Smell significantly increased as well. The 4 GMO'S however seemed to love the light and are perked right up. I'll check on them again after I stop and check with my growing buddy and see what he says. I'll finish cleaning the cage today and I'll clean my bags. Maybe start some LST. UPDATE: SECOND TIME WROTONG THIS. I HATE THIS SITE. WENT OVER WITH THE INTENT OF SHUTTONG OFF THE BLOOM SWITCH BUG JUST RAISED THE LIGHT SOME. I SEE SMALL BURNS ON THE EVENT HORIZONS AND THE TOASTED TOFFY. NOT SIGNIF8CANT BUT I DONT WANT IT TO BECOME SIGNIFICANT. THESE SEEMED ALK REVEGGED. THAT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THE STRANGENESS IVE BEEN OBSERVING. SINCE ALL 4 GMO'S ARE EXPLODING AND EVEN THE SHERB PIE IS TAKING OFF SO I DIDNT WANT TO SHUT THE LIGHT OFF. THEY WILL GO OUTSIDE IN A COUPLE WEEKS. I THINK RAISING THE LIGHT A BIT AND MOVING THE EH AND TT A LITTLE FURTHER BACK. I'LL MONITOR AND ADJUST FROM THERE. I HAVE TO GO HACK LATER AND I MAY WASH AND DISINFECT MY GROW BAGS. I JUST CANT SEE THIS LIGHT BURNING PLANTS ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE SEEDLINGS IN THE WINDOW RECEIVING DIRECT SUNLIGHT. ONE THING I DID NOTICE ON THE GMOS IS IT "LOOKED" LIKE THE PETIOLES ON THE LEAVES WERE NARROWING. IT COULD'VE BEEN IN MY HEAD. I'LL OBSERVE AND REPORT. 5/11 I must've forgotten to write this or more likely it didn't save. 5/12 Plants looked like they like the increased light. The gmo especially seems to be praying. The burns on the 1 ev and the tt seem to be the same one as before but I'm noticing much more growth since I've flipped on the bloom switch. I've got some big pallets and am getting ready to prep for moving things outside by June 1 give or take. 5/13 already did this and it didn't save. Found my two 150watt hps lights that ice used previously with great success. However since I seem to be getting better results with the l.e.d. went at a different time of day and saw a stream of light right on a burn spot so I don't think it's the light. I went higher blocking the window and taped the blinds to the size. I've noticed lots of lateral growth. Time to train. Seedlings will also need transplant.

(Have been thinking about it, decided to just do both runts under one diary and just using the Green Sensation on them both. Had only used growdots on the other one, but will be bringing the other runtz into this diary aswell) Beginning to add the Green Sensation nutrients this week. Really curious to see how she looks in the next 2 weeks now that its being added!. But these Runtz are growing well, looks great to me so far nothing crazy , bit different pheno then my other grow but I'm happy with both .. Can't wait to see how they flower fully. Not much else was done, I do regret not training but wanted to let it do its thing , didn't have the space for anything big (I never go for massive, one of these days I'll veg longer tho just for the experience of it) Had cut off a handful of leaves that were laying on each other. Did alil form of lollipoping but not extreme. And only plan besides Green Bay is the Recharge will also be used 1x weekly. Lights are currently around 32 DLI roughly 700/750ppfd off the top of my head. I'm thinking around 40 I may push to peak but we will see, no added CO2 besides environmental atleast its above 500 pretty steady raises to 8/900 amd alil higher when I'm in talkin shit to them. The water input is picking up in frequency aswell. Watering every other day still due to how cold it is they are drinking slow but their just about 3/4s of a gallon currently.. Temps have been way lower this run then I really wanted just last heater I had decides to quit on me.. big area so tough to replace that thing and of course it was just out of warranty lol by 2 months. The one is getting some purples on it this one's pretty light green , ec is in range after a quick lil media test, had been curious if she was hungry so decide to check did alil runoff when watered prior to feeding the plagron. Ec was fine and PH was alil low so bringing that up as I feed. Besides that tho , their smelling really sweet.. literally like a pack of runtz already ...anxious to get to smoke some of my first try at a runtz plant! As always I appreciate everyone's time checking these things out.. thanks for your support and encouragement. And another big thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for throwing this together!! Been a fun contest so far.. Beans: https://www.zamnesia.com/uk/ https://www.zamnesia.com/us/

End of week 8 for medusa 1/5. Plant is looking beautiful with the LST. I will reduce thd nutrients week by week from now, ensuring for a clean finish without flushing. I still feel the veg time for these genetics are too short for big yields. I reckon it will yield around 60 grams. 2/5 was topped and will yield more by the looks of the amount of shoots compared to 1/5. Check my other diaries for the entire experiment. Watering 3L every 2/3 days Smell is very strong now. It will probably be ready in 3 weeks time

It's finally here ๐Ÿ˜€. Both phenotypes are in the fermentation phase ๐Ÿ˜. The grow was a lot of fun, so I thought I'd make an Iolator hash out of leaves and a little bud and a little oil out of both phenotype buds. Cannabis: The grow: Both grew beautifully. Your stretch was normal and it didn't cause any problems. Feeding : You received GHSC bio Grow once in the vegi phase and GHSC Bio bloom twice in the flowering phase. GHSC enhancers were added every 2 weeks. That was just the right amount for both : 1:. Optic: The appearance of Phenotype 1 is almost completely purple ๐Ÿ˜. Pheno 2 is coated a bit purple with a mixture of silver from the resin :-). Smell / taste Pheno 1 tastes very fruity. You can really say that it tastes like a tangerine in the finish : 1:. Pheno 2 also tastes a little fruity but with its distinctly stronger note in the Kush direction. Both very tasty : 1:. Storage: The cannabis is stored in glasses in a dark place where the temperature is between 19-22 degrees. The first 2 months of fermentation are boveda packs 62% in the jars. Then the 58% come in. Since I was in the mood for a few specialties again, as mentioned above, I also made Hash Oil and Ice Oilator hash. Let's start with Video 1 (BHO) Hash Oil production: Hash Oil: Process: Small grated cannabis goes into the Dexso tube. Below is a container in the PTFE film that serves as a base so that the oil can be easily removed at the end. At the top we give the Dexso gas through the Dexso tube filled with cannabis. The result is a mixture of the gas and the cannabis oil. We put the bowl with the mixture in a hot shot of water but make sure that no water comes in at the top. We let the whole thing simmer for 20 minutes so that the first gases can evaporate. Then everything goes into the vacuum chamber so that all remaining vapors can really escape and we have a pure product ๐Ÿ˜. The whole thing is carried out for 2-3 days until the oil is ready ๐Ÿ˜€. I can only recommend everyone to vaporize oil in a dabbing rig ๐Ÿ˜. Taste: The taste is extremely delicious. In the finish, it tastes much more like mandarin than the buds ๐Ÿ˜€. Optic: The oil is very shiny to matt. If you pull it apart, it becomes light as honey :-). If you roll it up, it's very conceit. Consistency: The oil will become a little harder in the silicone storage after a short time. However, if you take it in your hand, it can be pulled and kneaded very easily after a few seconds. That was it with the oil production. So let's continue with the Ice o Lator ๐Ÿ˜€. Making the Ice o Lator: I took all the remains of the leaves and placed them in the small net. Then the IO maker is first made about 1/3 full of cold water with water. I add 3-4 kg of ice cubes and wait about 15 minutes until the water is below 0 degrees. As soon as the temperature is reached, I put in the net with the leftovers and set the timer to 15 / on and 10 / off. I run the whole thing 3 times. Then the complete broth is passed through the sieves (160, 120, 73 and 25) in a bucket. After sifting everything is spread out on a ceramic plate and poked very small with a knife. The whole thing comes in a dark place and is then allowed to dry for about 3-4 days. As soon as the hash has dried, it comes into the press for a few hours at a little temperature. The result is a kneading oily Ice o Lator ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜. Optic: The optic is partly reminiscent of that of oil :-). Consistency: The ice o lator has a very soft consistency :-). You can roll up small sausages while smoking ๐Ÿ˜. Taste: The taste is very medicinal. But very earthy and smoky finish : 1:. All the screenings are very good but the 25 and 73 are the best ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. That was it with the production to see everything again in Video 2. So we come to the end of a beautiful passage โ˜บ๏ธ. Finally, I would like to say that I would like to thank Sweet Seeds for the sponsorship and for providing two such great genetics ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป. If anyone has any questions about this type, oil or ice, I will answer as soon as I can. I wish you all a lot of fun with this big update :-). Have a nice start to you and your families into the new year and everyone stays healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป. Let it grow ๐Ÿ€ MadeInGermany You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Genetics: Red Poison Autoยฎ๏ธ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) : 1: Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W ๐Ÿ’ก Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’กโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Soil : Canna Coco Professional โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฑ Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

This week has yielded positive results from the FIM And LST. I topped the internodal new branching that grew from the FIM job as well this week and the 2 extra tops are growing in response on each branching. She is now under a 4 bulb vivosun T5 6500K fixture and is responding very well to the light changes. Her stems are begging to give off terpines when rubbed. She smells of tart sweet lemons and diesel fuel haha. I am very happy about this grow and am expecting preflower to begin soon.

Day 2: The plant was strutting again after lifting the lights to 50cm above the plant. There is almost no smell, I'm afraid the heatwave might have killed off the smell and taste of the buds permanently :-( Day 4: Watered with nutrients.

She is going well, topped main & secondary branches ( 2nd topping) & performed some l.s.t. training & mainline training. Thanks to Fast Buds for the cool apparel & FF seeds, my prize for being 1 of 10 winners for November diary of the month ๐Ÿ‘
