Ive been flushing around 7 days now and the first leaves are starting to fade,in around 5-10 days it will be ready to chop. I've also harvested a couple branches early with cloudy/clear trichomes to hold me over and make room for new strains to start vegging in the tent. This is by far my best run of this strain and smelliest , im not entirely sure if my skills and equipment have gotten better or this phenotype is just especially good.

another week, another update. by the end of week 6 of flower the two ladies (#1 and #2) are doing great. I noticed a little deficiency by rust spots on the leaves; did some research online and i went ahead to give this one ane extra dose of Overdrive (0-5-4) for her newly developed flowering PK hunger.

Esta semana tome la decisión de cortar una planta anticipadamente, obviamente la más avanzada y madura de todas (la de las fotos con flash), para poder llenar la despensa, obviamente se guardó el peso para añadirlo al peso final. Se quitó la malla y se hizo defoliación para terminar el engorde, quedando solo 3 plantas al menos 1 semana o dos a que terminen de dar lo que tienen que engordar, ya veremos 👍

Hope you are well. Thanks for taking the time. Little main line defoliation to focus growth. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, including plant cells. It powers various cellular activities like nutrient uptake, protein synthesis, and cell division. Without ATP, the plant's metabolic machinery would grind to a halt, regardless of the presence of nutrients, oxygen, or carbon. Nutrients, like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, are essential for building plant tissues and various molecules. They are incorporated into proteins, nucleic acids, and other vital compounds. While crucial, their uptake and utilization rely on ATP-driven processes. Oxygen is vital for cellular respiration, a process that generates ATP. While plants can produce ATP through photosynthesis, oxygen is essential for maximizing ATP production in mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. Carbon is the backbone of all organic molecules, including carbohydrates synthesized during photosynthesis. It's the fundamental building block of plant structures and fuels. However, its incorporation into organic molecules is also ATP-dependent. We don't grow we facilitate energy conversion.

El registro corresponden a los dias 28, 30 de abril y 2,3,4 de mayo Despues de realizar corte apical y algo de lst junto defoliación leve. Hasta ahora las plantas van muy bien, creciendo muy bonitas y con fuerza. Tratando de llevar todo de la mejor manera ya pude ajustar algo el set donde tengo mis planta y cada vez más contento con estos resultados! Ya hoy la white widow ibl cumple 30 dias desde germinada y la zinfandel 23.

And here we are in full swing. We have only reached day 19 and our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid is truly very very competitive. It grows well, regularly, the internodal distance seems average but we're waiting for another couple of floors to rise, as you can see for a day 19 we're in great shape... You'll say similar reviews, and guys the F1s are very similar, the differences will come soon with the beautiful buds. We're keeping our fingers crossed because there's no word soon but our f1 Hybrids seem to keep what our trusted breeder says. As feeding we are giving the Plagron Alga Grow 2 ml/l and Power Roots 1 ml/l in the plants with Aptus Pellet. Come on gentlemen, I can't wait to see the flowers. Zamnesia is the best online shop in the situation, you can find everything from seeds, to mushroom kits, through vaporizers and a thousand other things https://www.zamnesia.io Watermelon Candy F1 seeds specifically https://www.zamnesia.com/10666-zamnesia-seeds-watermelon-candy-f1-automatic.html Site Description ZAMNESIA SEEDS - WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: BUDS BURSTING WITH FLAVOR If you've been looking for a flavorful strain with superb genetics that's effortless to cultivate, the hunt is over. Thanks to reliable F1 hybrid genetics, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic showcases the highest degree of productivity and efficiency. This strain takes everything you know and love about the original, and packages it in a plant with even greater potential. GROWING WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC Derived from Watermelon, Candy Kush, and ruderalis, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is a finely tuned medley of genetics. This cultivar is fast to flourish and reliable to grow, no matter where you choose to grow. Taking just 9–10 weeks from germination to harvest, she provides a uniform growing experience culminating in a huge haul of buds for her size. Reaching heights of 65–80cm, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic stays pretty grounded, making her perfect for smaller growing areas where space is a commodity. It also means you can fit more plants in if you have the room! Once ready to yield, growers will see a return of 400–450g/m² indoors and up to 100g/plant outdoors. Moreover, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is highly resistant to pests and disease, making it an ideal strain for newcomers and fans of low-maintenance cultivation. AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC If we haven't already sold you on the power of F1 hybrid genetics, the proof is in the pudding. Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is teaming with terpenes and cannabinoids, making for a lively high coupled with huge flavors. Just one hit is all it takes to sample rich fruitiness mixed with sweet candies and a slight earthiness to back it up. And with an average THC content of 23%, the effects are euphoric at the start but settle into deep relaxation soon after. Whether you're chilling alone or with friends, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic will see you right. As for fertilizers, I'm doing a small comparison experiment to finish off the fertilizers I had at home, it's not 100% indicative, it's only on two specimens but given the stable genetics I decided to try to compare the results of Plagron Vs Aptus , both excellent brands which they will certainly produce beautiful plants which are already of excellent stable genetics. In the next few weeks the comparison will be more evident now the seedlings are still very small and just potted. So seeds of all brands, in addition to these great F1 Hybrids and the entire Zamnesia line, fertilizers and everything related to the world of cannabis, you should buy them from the best online store in the sector www.zamnesia.io

going fine. that tip bleaching is here to stay :) i’m defoliating and lollipopping everyday. couple of leaves here couple of leaves there a growth tip here a side shoot there.. watered yesterday with 3.5l or something. distilled dehum water. caribe transitioned too fast. it didnt give me any stretch which was strange and cannalope as expected hasnt even started transitioning. i think caribe is gonna be overshadowed by the cannalope. dinachem looks lighter in the photos but its not really that light green in color. dinachem x peyote cookies gave me more stretch than i expected but seed runs are always full of surprises haha they both finished stretching atm so they will start filling up in the coming weeks. destroyers are fine too. yeah tip bleached a bit but leaves are very healthy otherwise. they feel soft and firm which is how they should feel. i’m plucking 10-20 leaves daily and it grows back the next day. they may give me a couple days of stretch but its not gonna grow much more than this. its not gonna double from here i mean and the 2nd destroyer is gonna be about 25% smaller than the 1st because as i mentioned not identical clones when transplanted but i’m still expecting exceptional yields and quality from both. ‘till next week!

Filling out need a second screen. Dont think will have too much more stretch. The white choco haze is still behind no way mear as much foliage, however considering her start to life she is doing much better. Gorilla looking nice and the 2 choc mints of the left of the photos are looking terrific.

Dealing with very strong winds this week. Also morning temperatures are below 15°C causing quite a bit of morning dew. Clear tarps are a big help as long as the strong wind doesn’t blow it away ha ha

Thank you. Growing cannabis is an art that seems to evolve as you learn it. While it may only take a little knowledge to get started, It seems that this may take a life-time to perfect (doubt I'll ever make that category, but I will certainly try). So thank-you to the community that Shares, Comments, Follows, and Likes. Your efforts in any of these actions make these journals a worth-while and perfect way for us all to learn and track our efforts. I personally appreciate it. Also a huge Thanks has to go out to Grow Diaries for making this community even possible. Your efforts to supply the data storage alone is more than enough, but you the fact that you dont stop there and constantly try to improve the experience even more makes this my favorite community to to share on. And then lastly, but certainly not least, a heartfelt Thank-you to Royal Queen Seeds for your branding/research while making these seeds available to people like me. It gives me confidence in knowing that I am working with great genetics before I even start my grow. ---------------------------- Germination Start and incubation period 3/12/24 to 3/26/24 Transfer Day to Veg Day 6 3/27 to 4/2 Germination: First note was about the appearance of the seeds. They were smaller than I am used to seeing, but no damage or deformities and look to be in good shape. Germination took 14 days from dropping in water to transplanting into 1 gallon pots. 23hours in a glass of 6.3ph room temp RO water. 2 cracked open a little and I placed them both in paper towels wet with the glass water and pasted to the sides of the glass for 2 days then checked, no progress. So I freshened the water then waited another 2 days and checked, little to no progress. Then checked again 1 day later and finally was able to move them. One looked fully ready and the other seemed less ready. I placed in rapid rooter pods and closed with toothpick tips. 1 popped out of the pods in 1 day but the other did not. So I gave it 1 more day and started my spare seed. After 4 days of water and towels I replaced the dead pod with a growing sprout. Transplant occurred on 3/27 Veg Day 0 to 6 1gal hard tall pots. Transplant went well. The sprouts are smaller than I would like and seem to be stubborn in growth to start but hoping htat changes with soil. One pod was overgrown in the pods and Im hoping it doesn't reflect in the overall plant production. Video: Transplant ease. Transplant to 1 gal pots: I am using a 50/50, 50%perlite/50%soil with a .5lb of dolomite lime and a .5ml of flora micro added to .5 gallon of RO water (Im mixing 2 gallons of soil total so the water to soil ratio is 1/4 of the total medium volume) to achieve a soil tested ph of 6.4. I am using a 50/50 soil/perlite mix because I plan to use these in auto pots. I also used about 1 cup of the same soil mix water to pour around the plant after transplant; you can see how the perlite rises to the top where I did this. I sprayed two domes and covered - I plan to leave covered for the first week. Feed: I kept them under the domes and sprayed every day that I didnt feed them, to keep humidity up while I let them find water in the soil. By the end of the week I took the domes off and took pictures. Feed this week was another 1 cup of 6.3ph water 5 days after transplant. Feed plan next week will increase the amount to 2 cups of plain-no-nute water with about 4 days between feeds. I want to see the water run through so if I need to use more than 2 cups I will. The idea is to water deep and through, but then make them search for more before the next feed, hopefully spreading the roots out while doing it. Veg Plan: I plan on 8 colas for each plant. So that will be 3 topping days and a total of 7 cuts. I will want to cut the first time on day 21 if I have 5+ nodes. I will transfer to 5 gallon auto pots with-in 1 week of the first topping. Once I have 3 nodes of new growth past the first topping, I will top those two branches to the first node again. (that's 3 cuts total by this point) Then, after 3 new nodes of growth after that, I will do a last topping on the 4 branches. (4 new cuts added to make a total of 7 cuts and 8 colas) I will train the branches using LST/HST with tie downs as soon as I can after the first topping day to help maintain the branches growing where I want them to. I will also introduce an adjustable tomato ring after they have settled into the 5 gallon forever pots to provide support and mobility Hopefully all goes well, and I will have 1 to 2 weeks of growth before flip after week 8. I think it sounds more ambitious than it really is, but if you follow this journal, we will see together.

*******December 23 to 29, 2019 It was a good growing week. She continues to grow and get wider and taller. However, there have been signs to work on with her. The potassium is a concern and her runoff water at the start of the week was way too high. Focus is to get her medium back under control and looking for a runoff of more around 800ppm with a 5.8pH. She appears to be ready to grow based on appearance and her new growth. New leaves were coming out pointy towards the end of the week. Can just flush the coco to get back in line but given she is an auto I am avoiding that step right now. LST is getting started this week and will tie her down by end of week......just want a little more height out of her. Dec 23/19 - Given the high runoff today is just CalMag @ 1.5ml/L in RO water. 475ppm with a 5.6pH. 1.5 litres. Dec 24/19 - Still a little droopy this morning. Wanted to avoid giving her anything today but going to give her just a small amount of base nutes. - Fed Dual Fuel @ 2ml/L........650ppm with 5.8pH.........looking back at this, I should have left her with plain water this feeding. Dec 25/19 - Moving along and getting the medium in better shape. runoff water today was 1,000ppm and pH was 6.1. - Can deal with the pH level but would like to see it just under 6.0. The ppm is coming down. - Fed her 1.5L again today with a ppm of 600 and pH of 5.8. Gave, VeloKelp @ 2ml/L, Piranha and Voodoo @ 2ml/L, Dual Fuel @ 0.5ml/L. Dec 26/19 - Noticed today that the new growth has narrow blades. Potassium issue is first impressions. Also makes sense that she has been showing signs of CalMag deficiency but is not true. - runoff water today was down to 900ppm but the pH is still at 6.1. - since she is getting bigger, she was given her first good bend over the fourth node to start her LST training. Not ready to tie down yet just getting her used to the change to come. She will straighten out again by morning. Dec 27/19 - The bend from LST yesterday gave her a little more vigour in appearance this morning. She appears to have grown upwards more and more leaves are pointing up. - Still too much going on in the medium so only gave her 1L of water with CalMag in it @ 2ml/L at 200ppm with a low 5.4pH. - Also, noticed the green is starting come out more in her......cut back on the ppm going into her. Dec 28/19 - She is looking better today. Her top leaves are widening up from what the new growth looked liked yesterday. - She still has some lower branches where the leaves are not perky but don’t look unhealthy at the same time. - Her height is doing well and will pull her out today and see if she is tall enough to tie down and get the LST started while stem is still pliable and before she really takes off on new growth. - LST done and she has formed a nice structure and side branching is thick but still pliable. - Gave 2L of RO water with 2ml of Green Plant Nutrients Rezin. This does not change the ppm at all. Only 45ppm with 5.4pH going in. - Runoff water was 1400ppm with 6.2pH. (Tested runoff from yesterdays watering) - After feeding runoff was 800ppm with 5.8pH - perfect!! - Folier spray tonight with VeloKelp to calm her down?

So far so good. 3 plants all m39xgdp photo periods. All in Pro Mix HP under 240w quantum boards 3500k. Middle one was actually from a seed that popped 2 plants it was growing slow at first but is now catching up nice. I took clones from all 3 a week ago. All topped and some lst. The one on the right I damaged the roots on it transplanting but it seems to be bouncing back well these last 2 weeks. Plant on the left has been great had slight nute burn early but corrected it. Also the b52 I swap every other feeding woth cal mag. Will be feeding big bud in 2 weeks and also will use overdrive in the last 2 weeks. Day 7 of 12/12 decided to strip the lowers off the plants , branches that will never make it to the top. May strip again in week 3. I just hacked it all in 1 shot to give them stress in 1 go rather then over multiple days . Hopfully this has a positive impact.

Day 99 (Sept 23rd): Girls are still in their flush. One more day here and the lights go off. Trichomes are about 10% amber. Plan was to harvest around that marker, so we’re off to the races! Day 100: Lights are off for 48hrs starting this morning. Update to come. Day 101: They meet the scissors today! All chopped down and hanging to dry at 60 degrees and 60% humidity. I will provide an update in 10-14 days one dry!
