Procedono gradualmente, hanno sofferto un po' il freddo al buio e ciรฒ ha comportato un rallentamento nell'assorbimento del cibo...ma si sono riprese ed iniziano a riempirsi di infiorescenze resinose e profumate! Sono state rimosse le ultime foglie grandi!

Note: At time of writing the Runtz has had 2 weeks cure, will update the review and rate it after 2+ months cure. Hermied a bit, has very few seeds so not too bad. Growth review: - vigorous grower during veg - solid stretch - medium internode distance - small sized buds - lower buds not too airy - very easy/not fussy - medium amount of smell - 80+ days flower (12/12) in hydro DWC under full spectrum led - responded well to various lst techniques Ease of growth rating: 9/10 General note: --> For me personally this strain NEEDS a good cure and is not worth smoking yet... It has a bit of a citrus grassy (not hay) taste, with some 'special' fruity smells to it that remind a bit of grapes/cassis. When grinding/opening the curing pots there is a pretty dank heavy weed smell so I think the quality will come out after a few months of cure... In its current state not worth smoking for the taste or effect after 14 days cure. --> Currently the effect is not very strong, easy to handle and I need a lot to feel a bit. The effect lasts for short compared to the average strains I smoke. Should develop more character with a longer cure. Hash making notes: - water extraction of the trim yielded 16g of hash (45mc-220mc) - rosin has a bit too much of a weird spicy grassy taste which make it a bit unpleasant, waiting till the buds improve with cure to try again - rosin color at 80c is yellow/white/beige creamy waxy, with hard consistency - rosin color at 95c is golden with hard consistency

Big tops! She's got a lot of rocket colas thanks to the training techniques that were applied, she smells exactly like her sisters, very sweet and floral, I'm starting to feel the cherry ๐Ÿ’ notes on the smell of the buds, very good strain to grow, only 2 of the 5 phenos are 100% percent purple but tje other ones show purple on the leafs like this one because of the cold temperatures

The girls are almost ready for hearvesting. Because of that and to "purge" them from nutrients, this week I fed with molasses only and I'm going ahead with water only for the remaining days. I think next week will be hearvest time ๐Ÿ˜€

Hola estimados. Gracias a Dios todo bien esta semana, el jueves 07 su primer dรญa 12/12, hoy ya mostrando su preflora, el riego foliar con cannaboost hizo que este proceso fuese rรกpido (a mi parecer). Asรญ que justo hoy comenzamos a contabilizar las semanas para ver de cuantas semanas son de floraciรณn. Hoy hice una desfoliaciรณn. El riego intercalado entre los dos bases que uso, foliar 3 veces por dรญa de cannaboost, hoy inoculando trichodermas, y maรฑana el riego con el mismo ec que he venido regando, ya que desfoliamos, y esa subida de EC que siempre aconsejan las tablas de cultivo, no serรก necesaria, ya que la energรญa producida se distribuirรก entre menos hojas, y lo restante se va al desarrollo de las flores. Solo usarรฉ el feeding grow dos veces mas, una maรฑana y otra para la siguiente desfolaciรณn. Eso ha sido esta semana de encierro, la ventaja dedicarle tiempo a esto y obviamente compartir con la familia. Se les quiere a todos, que mi Seรฑor Jesucristo bendiga sus cultivos y sus vidas. Genesis 1:19

A drip irrigation system was installed on Sunday for improved efficiency. Temps held steady at 27โ€“28ยฐC (day) and 25โ€“26ยฐC (night), humidity ranged from 58โ€“63%, and VPD stayed between 1.2โ€“1.3. Soil EC was consistent at 1.3โ€“1.4 mS/cm, and soil water content hovered around 19โ€“22%. Lights were mostly at 90% @ 25cm (briefly 100% on Thursday), delivering a steady 900 ฮผmol/mยฒ/s PPFD, with COโ‚‚ at 480โ€“500 ppm. Some CalMag deficiency persisted, with 1.5x the usual dose applied, and one plant was over-defoliated but is being monitored with no worsening issues. Lessons: Consistency Pays Off: Stable environmental stats and regular watering kept plants thriving. ๐ŸŒฟ Defoliation Caution: Over-defoliation on one plant was a misstep; monitor its recovery closely. โœ‚๏ธ CalMag Needs Attention: Persistent deficiency suggests further tweaks may be needed. Irrigation Upgrade: The new drip system should streamline wateringโ€”watch its impact. ๐Ÿ’ง Takeaway: A mostly smooth week with stable conditions and proactive care. Keep an eye on the over-defoliated plant and CalMag levels while fine-tuning the new irrigation system. Steady progress with room for vigilance! ๐Ÿš€

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but youโ€™ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I donโ€™t think this one is gonna slow down much either. Iโ€™m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a โ€œmoistโ€ soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, thatโ€™s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

So far so fantastic for these little girls, they are well on their way and have had a great week. Our White Russian is in beautiful form, her growth is tight and though she is small there is much going on. Fractal is a tiny girl but she is stunning, this one is taking her time but she is in a groove. As for the Opium, she is healthy, happy, and ready to grow on.

This gorilla cookie by fast buds is freaking awesome guys, I'm really in love with this genetic, very strong smell, trichome glands everywhere, and 2 out of the 3 plants that I'm growing are going to develop full purple buds!! Amazing autoflower plant man, I'm not disappointed at all, I hope to get a nice amount of buds with the 3 Gorilla cookies because I cannot wait to taste those buds! Let's keep on working! ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ

Hi everyone :-) This week, phenotype 2 and 3 were repotted just like phenotype 1 from the Zamnesia Spring Cup in the other diary ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป. Otherwise not much has happened this week. I'm curious how the two with Canna Bio will compare to the monster bud mix in the spring cup diary :-). I wish you all a nice weekend, stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป and let it grow ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Ž

My plant's got a name - Melanie. She fights against the pests. We suppose that the yellowish colour of the leaves are caused by them. As I decided to help her, I used the insecticide called Dursban. As a result, the pests' number has lessened but not totally removed. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you in advance.
