Week 2 of flowers started, gave her a nutrients feeding. She's loving life. This plant is going to be much bigger than my first grow. I'm excited, I'm using half the amount of nutrients suggested on the bottles. I don't know if it's the breeder or the nutrients. But I'll continue doing what I'm doing. I'll post more pictures during the week. Why are the white hairs already starting to get brown? Day44.....this plant keeps growing, I'm getting worried lol. She's actually 24inches tall and there are buds everywhere 😊. Day 46....seems like she eased up on the vertical growth. I guess it time to fatten up. Day 47......thank God I didn't do 2 gsc plants. I would have definitely needed a dehumidifier. She's doing very well, I have no complains. I hope she will be ready to harvest in 3week because I will be going out of town for at least 4 days and she drinks at least a gallon in 2 days. Lat day of week 2 of flower day 48..... she's doing very well and keeps growing. Finished up this week with a nice fat feeding. Can't wait to see these buds swell up, I think I might end up having to support her buds.

Going well;))

Yo la fam attention les yeux 🔥🔥🔥🌱🔥

Hello growers day 83 the buds are in the jar what can I say it’s been a joy growing the Zkittlez a nice little producer didn’t give me no jip through out the grow and my o my she has given some fat dank buds nice and crystaly I also made some bho wax check out the pics it’s 🔥 so so happy with the hole turnout I gave her water from my tap for the first ten days then gave her bio grow/bloom until I see her first pistols then gave them bio grow/bloom/top max/bio heaven up to day 61 then flushed her until day 75 then gave her the chop they had a 20/4 light cycle from the start definitely recommend this strain look after her with a bit of feed and she will look after you I only used the dry trim for the Zkittlez to make the bho and the return was incredible could not believe how much wax I got just from trim until next time be safe and happy growing 👌🏻✌️

Dutch Passions Shaman Beiden Schamaninnen geht es gut. Das Gießen klappt jetzt besser. No. 1 im großen Topf bekommt alle drei bis vier Tage 10-12 Liter Regenwasser langsam über eine Stunde verteilt. Schamanin No. 2 im 17 Litertopf trinkt meistens an zwei Tagen knapp sechs Liter. Es ist feucht im Garten, der Taupunkt wurde regelmäßig unterschritten. So bleibt es wohl bis Ende nächster Woche. Danke für‘s vorbeischauen. 🍅🥒🍇🥦

05/23/2019 Clones are doing well, so time for momma to bud! Flip to 12 - 12 full power red spectrum see yo next week

Unfortunately my digital timer was defective and made the flowering phase delay by 2 weeks. From one side, this delay allowed them to stretch a bit more. On the other side, it made me start giving bloom nuts with bad timing, thinking the bloom phase was already started. In other words, I gave bloom nuts in the last 2 weeks of veg. This means I’ll have to give them “week 3” bloom nuts for two more weeks, maybe reducing by 50% the B-52 and Big Bud dosages (they could be a little too much). Let’s now talk about the lady: well, she’s growing like a monster: 73cm!!!! She is the biggest of the grow room. She’s been growing 7-8 cm every day in the last days. That’s impressive! Woohoo, I love sativassssss! They will make you feel like a king, and they will be your queens 👸 By the way, sativas are WILD, and they make you sweat before showing their pistils. That’s what’s happening now. As well as the two Euphoria, they’ve not shown anything but a small pre-flower (not even a pistil for the moment). We’ll see in the next days. In the meantime, enjoy the photos and the video at the end! Cheers buds 👊

Muy conforme como se comportó la genetica con el super ciclo, engordaron mucho mas de lo que esperaba. Ahora solo queda esperar para probar semejante delicia

5-10-2025 I harvested my Purplematic CBD and washed the buds with a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice. Some caterpillars 🐛 came out of the buds 😱!! I hung the branches up to dry in a spare dark room with a ventilator. After 10 days of drying the branches still wouldn’t snip. I think the room was too cold and too humid. Next time I’m using a dehumidifier.

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

7/11/25 New week babieess😍😍!!!! 7/13/25 Ohhh baby, the Mephisto experiment is cooking so so good right now. I’m actually kind of stunned at how things are evolving, especially with Forum Stomper, a.k.a. Stompy the Comeback Queen. She had kind of a rocky start — I mean, cotyledons were looking funky, and she went all bush-mode on me: dense structure, super tight internodal spacing, real short-stack energy. But oh no no, she wasn’t done. Fast forward to now... Stompy is a straight-up MONSTER. A chunky, thriving beast that just keeps getting bigger — and I know she’s not done yet. She’s officially stretching into flower now. Not just hinting at it — nah, full flowering stretch is underway, and she’s reaching up like she just realized she’s got room to take over the whole tent. I love this part. Today was watering day, and both girls got their special cocktails. First up, Grapey. She drank 4.4 liters of love, with her mix spiked up with BioBloom at 16 ml, Topmax at 12 ml, BioHeaven at 16 ml, Activera at 16 ml, Agamic at 12 ml, and a touch of CalMag at 3.5 ml. She’s hitting flower hard now too, and this brew should set her up to swell up sweet and loud. Going in: pH 6,23, PPM 510 Temp 22,5 °C Runoff: pH 6,47, PPM 1350 Then we’ve got Stompy, the Comeback Queen. She got 4 liters of her own nutrient-rich mix: BioBloom 12 ml, Topmax 10 ml, Activera 12 ml, BioHeaven 12 ml, Agamic 10 ml, CalMag 3.5 ml, and just a whisper of CicaMax at 0.3 ml to finesse that vigor. Oh, and let’s not forget — she also got her guano top dress today. I scooped out one of my little measuring cups, sprinkled it in like fairy dust, and let nature do its thing. This is going to kick the bloom engine into overdrive. Going in: pH 6,22 PPM 485 Temp 22 °C Runoff: pH 6,7 PPM 650 7/17/25 Today Grapey got 4.8 liters of water, going in pH at 6.0, PPM 88, temperature 21.2 degrees Celsius. Runoff was pH 6.8 and PPM 760. Stompy got also 4.8 liters of water, pH going in at 6.0, PPM 106, temperature 21 degrees. Runoff came out pH 6.2 and PPM 2000. Goddamn 😅 but she seems okay with it. I think the next watering will also be just plain water because she has enough there. I will see.😍

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

12/19 - Plants stayed a little too damp, had to let them dry out a bit. 12/20 - RO water only @ 6.1ph 12/21 - Feeding nutrients today @ 6.2ph RO @ 6.1ph 12/22 - Feeding nutrients today @ 6.2ph RO @ 6.3ph Performed a runoff test on the Critical, White Widow, and Wedding Cake 2. I need to bring the ph up. (i had a feeling) 12/23 - Feeding 1 gal of nutrients @ 6.7ph 12/24 - Feeding 2 gal nutrients @6.7/6.8ph and @6.4ph 12/25 -Feeding 2 gal nutrients @ 6.6ph and @6.3ph

I've turned down the lights again to 60%, and with the increased feeding last week, the GMO and Glookies really seem to be getting back some green where it was almost gone. The overdose in N from CalMag Agent seemed to have done the trick. Some of the lower leaves on the Glookies are already quite dark green, and since I expect to harvest (some) in 2-5 weeks, I don't want to overfeed it now. So I have reduced the CalMag Agent level again. Sour Strawberry and Acapulco Gold are unimpressed and continue to slowly fade. They have also gained a bunch of weight again, all in all it's going ok now.

Eventful week for the girls... threw in another 95w LED to finish out flower and to grow an extra plant or two next run. Checked the trics on the leftmost plant and they were almost all cloudy and even starting to turn amber in a couple spots, so I decided it was time to chop her. Probably gonna take the other smaller plant down soon as well. The tallest plant is still looking larfy as hell but I'm hoping she'll thicken up a little over the next week or two.
