Genetics: O.G. Kush x Afghani Yield: 300 – 400 g/m2 (600 W) Flowering time: 8-9 weeks Height: 100 cm THC - Very very high equipment used: awning - Mars Hydro 4βœ–οΈ4 light - Mars Hydro FC E 4800 fan - Secret Jardin 20w monkey fan ventilation - Soler&Palau TD-350 Silent with temperature and humidity sensor I am satisfied with the growth and development, the only negative is that it is impossible to keep the necessary humidity and temperature at the same time as the heater is on.

Opium is missed already, she was my favourite (the other half) and she was brilliant. The outcome section of the diary will not load properly so I will mention how delicious she is right here, it seems insulting of the plant to finish off the diary in the yellow… Opium was a pleasure to grow, she was flawless, she provided me so much therapy and she was strong. The only issue was the moisture in the end but every plant in the garden eventually became victim to the bud rot and she held on as long as she needed. This beauty was not infected by any other ailment and she seemed to home many white spiders along with ladybugs, which is a good sign that she was worth being protected by nature. We can’t even imagine how she would have been if she had been planted in the cover crop bed, it is hard to picture her in a bigger or better form then she actually was. As you can see she had the wash and there wasn’t any waste, we have already pressed some of her in the dab press. Opium has a sweet fruity skunk scent and she tastes exactly the same. To say the least, we are very much enjoying her on a daily but we have been doing that since the day she sprouted. Our wet weight is an estimate due to scale issues which don’t cause us any concern. Believe me when I say, she deserved a green faced diary for her harvest log.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ» πŸ’šβœŒοΈ

Good weather here. Almost total defoliation and stop watering on Sunday. Cropped on Tuesday night. I'm more than satisfied. A lot of stuff. Perfectly ripen. It's a sin to cut her, she's really a beauty. Top cola apart there are another 12 big bus and 2 dozen of minor fat branches. After 24h of drying and deep wet trim the weight is 1335 grams (2.94 lbs) of top rock solid buds as this plants don't produce popcorns. So it's legit to expect 600 grams of premium weed. See you in 2/3 week for the harvest report, drying will take more time than Royal Gorilla as buds are Biggerrr Smoking preview Folks, I just rolled a couple spliffs of a dried and cured sample bud for 11 days. Two of friends of mine couldn't tell if it was weed or hash, I'm not joking. Strong and fast high.

These 6 monsters are already my favorite specimens in the garden. The growth in the coco/perlite hempy's is astounding, right up there with DWC. Many of these girls have outgrown their mother which resides in 5 gallons of soilless. F11 and all is good. Environment on point, smell in check, and visiting the garden only 3 times a week. Stay tuned for some monster nuggies!!!

Divine indica is growing great, and has been. She has been absorbing a lot of nutrition and water. She is starting to bulk now for sure. She has a nice layer of frost Starting as well. She is super happy, and growing strong. Makes me hesitant to really do anything. I don't want to disturb her harmony she has going right now. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Divine Seeds. πŸ€œπŸ»πŸ€›πŸ»πŸŒ±πŸŒ±πŸŒ± Thank you grow diaries community for the πŸ‘‡likesπŸ‘‡, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channelπŸ‘‡. β„οΈπŸŒ±πŸ» Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 57 - The girls are bursting with flower....... looked abit light (the main tops looked a light green, showed signs of nutrient deficiencies), so upped the Dutch Master Gold One Flower, it's 1000 ppm now.... thinking about Defoliation... outside temperatures are middle of winter, 0oC to 20oC (32oF to 70oF) .... but typical high low is 5-15oC (40-60oF)......... surprisingly the LED's warm the tent upto 20-24oC, this is important point.... i am running the lights, 6 pm to 6 am... 12hrs lights on all night, and all day is night mode...... during the day is the highest temps of the day... and during the lowest temps, they have the light heat ....... Day 61 - I trimmed em .... this was the third defoliation..... things are starting to get sticky..... ah i'm just going to wing it.... they are 2 months (8 wks) from seed.... idk what i'm doing....... i did some serious stress bending today, and had to put afew tie downs in..... my theory is to hurt em as much as i can without killin em.... to make em harder, stronger, faster, more stressed, so they can survive anything..... grow em stronger...... the smell is zero in the home, but once i got them out for their 2 week haircut, they started producing some strong wet kisses, that were sticky and wet.... the aroma of heavenly ladies was abundant...... 😎😎 idk... this tastes so good.... it's like some kind of weird berry combo goodness.... i'm vaping vanilla custard atm and this is so good with vanilla custard.... vanilla custard kush n cookies... haha watch the video......... 😎

She's looking very good, however she's not developing as fast because I have placed too many big pots under my 2 panels and not every plant is growing at the same pace. She should be almost a bush already, I'm training her using lst technique using a wire and also I have topped her to break the apical dominance.

We are close to the harvest! -The Greenhouse Wonder pie (this is a seed obtained by self-pollination) is covered with resin, from the beginning of flowering, very early compared to the others, and will be the first to be harvested. -The 2 Runtz are spectacular, the largest will have the main production of the entire Box. -There are 4 Alaskan Tunderfuck left, so far I can say that the genetics do not seem particularly stable to me, 3 different phenotypes, 1foxtailing on the whole plant, 2 specimens are still in full bloom with short and very wide buds, and the fourth seems to have a beautiful bud and dense and ready to be harvested. Alaskan Tunderfuck very sensitive to acid PH, unlike Runtz which also seems to grow in lava !

All photos taken day 25 of flower. Started to develop a nice aroma now, I’ll have a little de leaf in a day or two to help lower humidity and uncover some flower sites. Can’t wait for it to warm up so I can switch my heaters off! ✌️

She's ready to get flushed. I've put her in my second tent to leave her in total darkness for 2 days before I'll hang her to dry. This helps the plant to break down the chlorophyll.

6/9 12am MONDAY. They look great, went to 4mL per L of Con Grow looking great 6/10 9am. 1130pm loo GC 🚨🚨 TOP REDSIGN. NODE 5 & 6 HAVE 2 EXTRA BUD SITES.... I USUALLY TOP AT 3 OR 4 AND THEN TRIM OFF NODE 1 DEPENDING ON MAIN STALK HEIGHT, EASIER TO WATER AND MAINTIAN. BUT I CUT OFF NODE 1 THRU 4 AND LEFT MAIN COLA. INVERTED TOP??? SHE IS GIVING ME IDAS.... I WILL TOP GOAT AND GROW AT NODE 5 & 6 GOAT 2 WILL BE TOPPED AT NODE 3 & 4.....🚨🚨⚑️⚑️ 6/11 330am new air assist exit fan design prot 6/12 9am tried something new I mixed bud factor X2 mL per liter and big bud 2 mL per liter did a supplement only watering today. It was full strength. I’ll see what kind of damage I’ve done.πŸ’¦πŸ’¦ 6/13 NO DAMAGE...wow. MY PH PEN WAS OFF BY UP TO 2 POINTS FOR 3 YEARS.... SHIT...ALL THE TIME I SPENT BLAMING THE NUTRIENTS.... GOTDAMNIT. 1am They look great, GC is crammed in for just a few hours until the other tent wakes up, then transfer OR I will have to light an ENTIRE tent for 2 plants, no way. I put them in the 12/12 tent. Should top today, feeling sick to my stomach.....nausea makes mobility impossible. 6/15 1255am BEST VEG EVER...I RIPPED GOAT'lato in 2/3's. RIPPED a BUBBLES BLUEBERRY in 1/2 and got them both fixed.... ALL are doing great. I think my BAD PH PEN... FOR 2 YEARS...so stpid. After calibrating pens and using TWO now. pH to 5.6 - 6.2 avg between the 2 and ONLY AN CON GROW... everything else is overkill and burns in my small container and not much runoff when I water. I water from bottom mostly. DO NOT us supplements and nutrients at the same time or the same watering.!!!! 1240pm topping today for sure this time. 111pm GC has a burned top...I did not top big mistake. but wanted to see her grow without topping.... BPP looks tiny but aWESOME. 🚨🚨3pm I made 4 Gorilla Gas F1 CLONES by Seedsman at nodes 3 & 4!!!!! The I topped her as well. I cant upload pics now but she's great.

I started germination of 3 Sweet Zkittlez beans on 29/12/2020 (now sweet zenzation). I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Sweet Zkittlez. I've only grown this one out once. Did her up in a 1 gallon SOG grow. It had a very impressive main cola. With quality bud structre and trichome production. The plant had a very luring sexy odor. I was very satisfied with the results. The variety got extra hungry for both p and k mid flower. A little bit needier but definitely worth the extra attention. Very excited to see the results in a full size plant. Giving thus a variety a chance to show me full swing.

So she is putting enough size to start training in the next few days. Things are going well so far no deficiencies yet. Preflowers are showing and now that she is ready she is showing sex. Never trying something tiny like this I am happy that there have been no issues so far. Let’s see what happens in the next week. I know water is going to start being an issue as I am watering 2-3 times daily now. Until next week, may your buds be frosty and have a happy thanksgiving.

Well, the drought stress in week 11 really fucked my plants up, but Twiggy recovered, while Zoey was hurt pretty bad. If I did nothing, I'm betting harvest would've been 25% more, and Zoey's buds wouldn't look so crappy, but overall, I was so happy with this grow! I was under a time crunch, so only did minimal veg for 4 weeks, topping once. Daily watering with 1.8EC mix that was pretty consistent. Kept pH between 5.5 and 5.8. Kept tight control on humidity and temperature up to mid flower, then kept air circulation on to keep room humidity around 55% Things I'd do differently: 1. Veg longer - I'd love to try a mainline 2. Canopy control - wish I had spent the time on a SCROG screen, or at least a couple of rings. 3. More light sooner into flower. Waited about 4 weeks into flower before maxing out the light. Probably could've bulked them up significantly if I started earlier 4. Drought stressing - For Fucks Sake, keep a close eye on your plants, and the minute they start to wilt, get the water back on 'em!!! 5. Measure your run-off more frequently for salt build-up. Didn't have any problems, but it's a good best practice. 6. Set up proper closed-loop environment to allow for CO2 enrichment. 7. Set up a clone environment before you get to flower. Oops. Things I was happy with: 1. VPD control system (heat, humidity) during veg and early flower worked flawlessly. Never any nute burn, and super healthy plants. 2. Sterilized soil and grow-room before starting - never had a single bug or any mold/mildew issues. Used a MERV 13 filter on the air intake, exhaust through carbon to crawlspace. 3. Coco/perlite mix - super drainage, low build-up, very healthy roots. 4. Power meter - neat way to measure what's really going into the grow, so when your wife complains about power usage, you can show her the real numbers. 5. Photone app on Android S20 - Knew where my PPFD was for optimal growth control. 6. REX-C100 PID controller for toaster oven - super tight temperature control comes in handy for decarbing as well as toasting oak for moonshine.

And the week 3 has started. Buds started to grow. Plants are looking strong, looks like the PH is optimal finaly. There is a nice, citrusy and skunky smell already. Tough colas.

Almost ready for harvest... Two out of three ladies are looking ready for harvest, while the third one is about a week behind. Overall yield seems excellent β€” easily beyond what I expected. This grow confirms that autoflowers can perform well under a 12-hour light schedule. However, the bud structure showed a bit too much leaf development, which I suspect is due to high light intensity during flowering. With an average PPFD of 700 Β΅mol/mΒ²/s over 12 hours, the plants received a DLI of ~30 mol/mΒ²/day β€” a bit intense for autos in this cycle. For the next round, I’ll definitely adjust intensity and steer based on DLI for more efficient development and tighter buds.
