Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it! 21-day defoliation has come.. These pictures were taken on day 20 of flower Nice progress with these ladies, I honestly did expect them to stretch this much. They were pretty heavy on leaves so I did a bit of cleaning of big fan leaves and bottom useless growth.. I admit, went a bit too far with one of them. Should've left a few more fan leaves behind.. 😪😓 Other than that, things are looking good. Bud sites are more visible, sure hope they keep growing out. Stopped adding grow nutrients, only bloom now. That's it for this week hope you're enjoying this progress like I am. Have a good one! One love!

Día 59. Los esquejes van alcanzando a la madre, salvo uno de ellos. De todos modos, ya en 5 a 7 días estoy pasando a floración. Se va a poner bastante dificil dado que tengo que atar bastante las plantas, y parece que va a ser nuy fuerte y difícil. Pero de todos modos esta experiencia me enseñó que tengo que resolver el corte de esquejes antes. Entre tanto, por el momento no arranco con una nueva madre, dado que serán 10 semanas de floración mínimo. Y no voy a poder mantener una madre tanto tiempo en el módulo bajo. Ya ahora queda esperar. Cambié el nutriente por feeding hybrids, agregué micorrizas otra vez, y dejé de darle feeding grow y el potenciador de crecimiento green jungle. Empiezo a pensar que podría ya ponerle el bud blood, pero probablemente no lo haga.

Las plantas frenaron su crecimiento bestial. El sustrato se lo comieron en 2 semanas y rapido comenzaron a mostrar inicios de carencias a partir de las 2da semana. Las pase a la cantela de 500 L, corte el fondo de las macetas. Volvi a enmendar el suelo. Queda que se recuperen para volver a despegar

Had to start a new week early for the good news!! TRANSPLANT WEEK!!!! Let me just say that in such a short time these roots have grown crazy!! I have been using intermittent watering techniques letting it dry out thoroughly and doing a deep slow watering. Turns out that the deficiencies I was seeing was not from the mixture that I was using but from the fact that the roots were searching out new soil!. Dec 18 Plants are Great!! No transplant shock 😲 Jaeger and mimosa both grew 2 inches in two days! I'm needing to get them to flowering soon going to give it a few days. I topped mimosa and pp several weeks ago and they are fully recovered. December 18th received my care package from NPK industries of their raw line super stoked to use it and going to utilize on one plant to track grow progress versus the Humboldt secrets! Stay tuned!! Dec 21. Watered all of them with nute mixtures. Decided that from now on PP is going to be only NPK products so I can compare their growth and flower development am so excited!! LST all of the plants to equal sizes and down to the tallest branches I see lots of potential cola forming! I also defoliated to give the buds a bit more light. I received some Great White Micro and am getting some big foot from the PNW I'll be cutting into the roots and doing a real review after I chop. I have experience with mycelium and can give this a good opinion!

Week 7 Flushed my plants

In this week, most of the plants have developed pistils. I will keep using vegetation fertilizer for a few days, until they evolve completely. I also decided to use scrog method to keep the plants at the same height.

Last day chopping at 56 days of flower. Gonna trim some of the leaves then set in the dry tent

I haven't grown for 15 years. First time indoor. I did not know what I can expect. I am very surprised. It's unbelievable. Thanks for the ghrow diary. I learned a lot and the second time it will be perfect.thx boys and girls 😊

8/5/23 - Day 54 - Last night, a successful water change took place. I've attached a picture of the bucket at the top for reference. While I currently perform manual water changes, I have plans to automate the process using the available hookups. Unfortunately, the unit was shipped quickly, leaving me no time to set up the automatic system before receiving the LEAF box. However, on my next grow, I'll ensure the drain and water inlet are properly connected. During this current grow, the bucket you see at the top is always connected to the drain as a precautionary measure. I can activate the draining process through the app, and after two cycles, all the water, including the water collected by the dehumidifier, is efficiently removed. Following the draining process, I fill the box with RO water, and from there, the LEAF box takes over and automatically dispenses the necessary nutrients. This automated system has made the whole process incredibly easy, eliminating any guesswork. I simply empty and fill the water; everything else is expertly handled by the LEAF box. The flowering stage is progressing exceptionally well. The plant has ceased growing upward, and the buds are now thriving and reaching new heights each day. I find myself eagerly looking into the box daily, excited to witness the changes, especially around 2 pm when I can observe the growth since the morning. It feels like Christmas morning every day! As always, I'll keep adding daily pictures to document the incredible journey. 8/9/23 - Day 58 - It's been a few days since I have posted. Thats because Shes growing bud like crazy. You can see the plant has focused on growing the buds because the plant has stopped stretching up and started swelling the buds. We have about 3-4 weeks until harvest. This has been the easiest grow of my life. Basically, I add some water to top it off and that's about it. I have been moving some branches down as they start to get a little to close, but other than that not much input from me. If you are looking for this experience, check out https://www.getleaf.co/

Week 4 - It’s Friday again, and that means it's update day! Another week has passed, and as usual, there's plenty to report. A lot has happened, and once again, I’m bringing you along on my journey as a total beginner in the world of growing. Every week is a new learning experience, and I’m excited to share what’s been going on in the tent as my Amnesia Zkittlez and Gorilla Cookies continue to grow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Growing Parameters -Humidity: 43-55% -VPD: Max 1.4 -Airflow: Always active at level 1, auto-adjusts when needed -Day Temperature: 25-26°C -Night Temperature: 22°C -Light Cycle: 20 hours light / 4 hours dark -Lamp: IONBOARD S24 from AC Infinity (240W) Watering Schedule: -Day 24: 1 liter -Day 26: 1 liter -Nutrients are applied with every watering Light Adjustments: -Light distance now at 50 cm -Intensity increased to level 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Growth Update The most noticeable change this week has been the incredible growth of the plants. I’ve uploaded some new photos for everyone to see, and it’s amazing how much they’ve shot up compared to last week. The differences in growth behavior between the Amnesia Zkittlez and Gorilla Cookies are becoming even more pronounced. The Amnesia Zkittlez has more than doubled in height since last week, shooting up and stretching outward. Meanwhile, the Gorilla Cookies hasn’t grown as much in height, but it has become noticeably rounder and bushier, almost like a pufferfish. It's fascinating to watch these plants develop in such different ways. While the Zkittlez focuses on vertical growth, the Gorilla Cookies is spreading out horizontally, forming a dense, compact structure. All around the plant, small flower sites are emerging, extending from within the plant and beginning to take shape. This difference in growth styles really highlights the unique characteristics of each strain, and I’m excited to see how they continue to evolve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Training: LST and Defoliation This week, I’ve also focused heavily on training the plants using Low-Stress Training (LST) and some selective defoliation to optimize light exposure and encourage better growth. I applied LST more aggressively over the past few days, using clips to gently bend the stems of individual branches outward, almost to a 90-degree angle. This technique has helped the plants spread out horizontally, allowing more light to reach the inner and lower branches. I’ve been adjusting the clips nearly every day to refine the structure and ensure that the light penetrates deeper into the canopy. The goal is to encourage outward growth and create more space for the lower branches to thrive. In addition to LST, I began selectively removing leaves. I started with the first set of fan leaves, followed by leaves growing inward toward the plant’s center. These were either shading promising bud sites or simply not contributing to the plant’s energy needs. I’ve also removed the lower bud sites, which likely wouldn’t have developed into anything substantial. This way, the plants can focus their energy on the more promising, higher-up buds that are receiving better light. Throughout the defoliation process, I’ve been careful not to remove too many leaves at once. I’ve only taken off leaves that were either blocking key bud sites or were small and shaded, ensuring that the plant still has enough foliage to continue its healthy growth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nutrients and Watering Routine There haven't been any changes in my nutrient schedule or the way I water the plants this week. I’m still using the same BioBizz nutrients at the recommended dosages with each watering, and the watering process itself remains unchanged. Each plant receives a consistent 1 liter of water every couple of days, and so far, the plants are responding well. However, based on some recommendations I’ve received, I’m planning to introduce CalMag from BioBizz into my watering routine over the course of the next week. This will help ensure that the plants have enough calcium and magnesium, which are essential for strong cell structure and nutrient uptake, especially as we move further into the flowering phase. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal Reflections and Lessons Learned As I progress through this grow, I’m realizing how much more there is to learn, especially when it comes to managing light exposure and training techniques. It’s been rewarding to see how the plants respond to LST and defoliation, but I’m still figuring out the perfect balance. Every small change seems to make a big difference, and I’m constantly amazed by how quickly these plants adapt. Being a beginner, this process has been both challenging and exciting, and I can’t wait to see how the flowering stage develops. This journey has been a humbling experience, reminding me that growing plants isn’t just about following steps, but also about observing and learning from the plants themselves. Every day brings new insights and challenges, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see these changes reflected in the health and growth of the plants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking Ahead In the next week, I’ll continue to monitor the pre-flowering phase closely. I expect the water and nutrient demands to increase even more as the plants transition into full flowering, so I’m preparing to increase the watering amount to 1.2 liters per plant soon. I’ll also be keeping an eye on the structure of the plants, especially the differences between the Gorilla Cookies and Amnesia Zkittlez. I may begin defoliating some of the lower leaves to give the plants more room to breathe and allow light to penetrate deeper into the canopy. There’s a lot of excitement ahead as the flowering phase approaches, and I’m eager to see how the plants respond to these new stages of growth. Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to drop any advice or questions in the comments—this journey is all about learning together!

Didn’t record footage of veg stage but it was in veg for just over 7 weeks and flowered at just spot on 8 weeks . Nice tight buds. Heavy stone but won’t make you too lazy to get about your day like a cheese almost

The ladies are looking amazing. I'm real happy with their progress. They're keeping a real nice distance between nodes. They got their first feed yesterday at half dose. They've taken it well so will adjust accordingly moving forward. The Banner is putting out crazy roots. It's almost time to put this girl into the 40l smart pot. The lateral growth is thickening. I'm going to top her as soon as I can and do a bit of lst. There is a slight curling on the edge of the leaves(?) but other than that there's no other apparent issues. The Skittles is bossing it right now and will also need to be moved to the smart pot. Brilliant lateral growth and it is pretty much ready to top. The Blue Gelato and amnesia Haze are on Day 7 and are looking great for moving into their second week. They've been moved into their next pot and I'm hoping they catch up with the other ASAP. Update: This lady went into her 46l smart pot on day 18 ant topped at the same time. Time for an explosion of growth and some LST.

Hey! My ladies are growing massive!! Tall and bushy! Eventually I had to change the height of the lights as I noticed some signs of hheet stress! After applying that big AC to the room, I could manage the heet but still the plants didn’t like it very much! So Im leave 1Veg/2Bloom lights on for 20h,but increase the lights for a few hours evry one a while to maximum. I also did my last defoliation and made a video for you guys . Best of luck!

Super Skunk is doing good. I did move her to my photoperiod room. As I need to flower some plants and she was 3rd closest. Everything is looking good.

Plant is doing good ;) its getting wide too ;) Zamnesia 10% discount voucher for seeds: GROWITGD

welp i pushed them 1 more week and now they are receiving the flower nutrients, i gave these ladies a heavy defoliation last week and as you can tell now it does not even look like a took a leaf off.. will possibly give 1 more like defoliation and then let them all put on the weight, lets see what these ladies are made of 😆
