i went on holiday and installed an automatic watering pump...seems like it didn't activate as planed...when i got back after 7 days the pots were compleatly dry... i removed alot of dead foliage from beneath...i would have removed it for better airflow soon anyways...so not much harm taken... after a big watering they looked fine again budgrowth didn't seem to be affected by the complete dryout...let's see where this goes...buds look perfectly fine so far

Hey Friends, end of Week 10 from seed Colas are looking Very nice Noticed some orange color on some leaf tips so I lowered the amount nutrition when feeding I used a magnifier to have a closer look at the colas, trichomes used to looked like little crystals, now they are bigger and cloudy. So far no amber coloring on trichomes I need some advice as to when I should begin flushing and harvest Smell is slowly getting stronger, like a muffin with a small touch of gas ⛽️ Looking Forward in seeing some bud growth in the following week, will keep you guys posted!

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

Dropped the 3 seeds in water bath with a little HESI rooting mix, little mycorrhizae. On a heat mat, covered for complete darkness. 24 Hr soak - then seeds moved into own Seed Germinator - Karl’s Bubatz Popper 😂 24 hrs after 22 degrees and 90-95% humidity seeds developed long enough roots to hit the soil. To avoid any chance of damage the cotton pads hit the soil too.

I purchased a pack of 3 seeds, and one of them didn't germinate. I must admit this is discouraging, and I believe reputable seed banks should address this by providing guarantees to us growers. I'm not wealthy, and when a seed doesn't germinate, it feels like I'm wasting money. Regarding the fertilizers, they come in powder form, but I didn't see the option to measure in grams, so I used milliliters instead. The iron supplements I use are effective; I even found it strange not to have Plant Prod around here. It's a very affordable Canadian fertilizer that delivers good results. Many brands don't want you to know about this fertilizer. Look it up and let me know what you think.

🌿 Kannabia Grow Update – Cold Temps and colors🌿 The temperatures have dropped noticeably, and that’s exactly what we wanted! ❄️ Cooler nights = better, cleaner, more refined maturation, deeper colors and richer aromas. 🌈👃 We’re not there yet — some plants still need days or even weeks — but everything looks absolutely stunning! --- 🔥 RS11 The colors are insane! Purples, pink hues… pure eye-candy. The fast pheno is almost ready — I’ve already cut a few small branches at different ripeness levels so I can test the difference in effect and high. Super excited for that experiment! --- 🦍 Monkey Grease One of them is already harvested! The rest follow soon — very stable, easy plants, beautiful finish. --- 🍋 Amnesi-K Lemon This cultivar seems like it wants more time than the others — totally normal for lemon-dominant profiles. Still swelling and stacking nicely. --- 🍒 Cherry Dream WOW. Just WOW. The smell is unreal — I can’t wait to smoke it. One pheno is pure cherry, the other is straight sugar, like cotton candy sweetness. --- 🍎🍌 Apples & Bananas Colors are starting to pop hard now — blues, purples, darker greens. Really interesting finish coming! --- 🕒 Timing If everything continues like this, I expect most of the plants to be chopped in 7–10 days. Just a bit more patience — we are on the final turn! 💚✨

Almost the end of her cycle! Thanks to Luuk from Seeds Genetics Co. For the support and good communication. Really nice genetics they have. Give them a try. The results you can see here. Just a few words from me: i love to grow plants, i dont care if its marijuana or garden plants. I know a bit in what stage the plant needs. So im not this guy that is constant working with meters and science and showing this or that. The plants speaks for themselves. The plant needs her building block and i try my best to deliver this to lovely Marie Jane. So people do what you want to do, i do it my way and i only care about the end result. On this Diary there are some haters, im not going to give their names, but luckily they are the minority. For the rest, i really love this growers diaries, it really brings this community together and also its a big playground for the breeders, now we can see the results real life! With my grow, i have 2 phenotype. One with red in the buds, this one smells more punchy. The phenotype with some red leafs and more green buds have a more sweet smell. Both is packed with trychromes, really good for making bubble hash or Rosin... The buds are super big and dense. Mould resistance is very good! The buds are super sticky and she smells very like candy and red fruits. Im not a wine drinking person, so dont hold me on that one. She is easy to grow and will get big fast, so one week of 18/6 light is good enough for 60/80 cm plants🌿💚🍀 i have 3 gallon (11L) baskets Nutrition: im not a person who precisely mesures the food for the plants. As long the pH is correct, also im reading the plants. I always give les then is asked on the bottles. I also give weeks in advance the nutrition they need in the cycle, because plants need this to start. Smell: plant already have a nice smell, very punchy, forest fruits and sweet wood. Health: nice strong plants, will grow big and flower fast! -----------Red Wine-------- Red Wine was created by crossing Rozay F2 with Jet A. They are 2 very powerful aromatic Cali hybrids. This exclusive new Cali strain is a very strong and fast flowering indica-dominant strain. It has an aromatic, intoxicating and relaxing effect. That is comparable to enjoying a good glass of wine. Red Wine has an average flowering time of about 7-8 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoors it is ready fairly early, usually around the end of September. The yield is very good. Indoors she has an average yield of 450-650 gr/m². When growing outdoors, 600-800 grams can easily be achieved per plant. Red Wine has an aromatic scent that can be compared to a full red wine. Her full, purple-green buds are very compact with few leaves. This is very convenient when cutting the plants and saves a lot of time. Smoking this weed gives you a nice high with relaxing properties. The taste of Red Wine is very fruity sweet with an aroma of red grapes. Flowering time: 7 – 8 weeks Genetics: Rozay F2 x Jet A 30% Sativa, 70% Indica Plant height outside: 100 – 180 cm Outdoor harvest month: from June to October Yield indoors: 450 – 650 gr/m² Yield outdoors: 200 – 800 gr / plant THC: 25% Red Wine from Seeds Genetics Co.

Day 21 - she got repotted into her 38 Litre airpot. She is not as close to the lights as I'd like, but saying that I wouldn't mind her to stretch a little bit.

New week starts. 🌞05.04 Today I warered my plants with 'GHE First true leaves'(1/1/1) solution and gave them full dose of Fulvic acid ('Diamond nectar'). Also, I spraiyed them with clean water. Next spraying will go with a 'Sea Weed' micsture. I'll give them new nutrients slowly, step by step. Looks nice, I'm waiting for the end of a week to transplant them into the bigger pots. 🌞06.04 It's a 'rest' day. Nothing, except spraying with a frash clean water ph6.3. I'll start to spray leaves with the 'SeaWeed' solution after the clean water watering (two days from now). 🌞07.04 Nothing. 🌞08.04 I made defoliation of 'Critical' (4 leaves only), sprayed all my flowers with 'SeaWeed' solution and watered three of them with clean water with 'GHE Mineral Magic' powder. 'Critical's soil is too wet still, so it didn't get water today. All four of my girls got LST. Upd: I made huuuuge defoliation on evening. Now all eight brunches on each plant starts to take its form. It's pretty well done (look on the last photo taken). 🌞09.04 Nothing today. 🌞10.04 'Sea Weed' spraying only. I'm waiting for tomorrow morning to transplant my babies and to make final LST (crone forming). 🌞11.04 I finally made the transplantation today. My girls roots has already come from the pots bottom. 'Canna terra' earth wasn't enough, so I made 20 liters of my own (soil+perlite). They all looks nice and I think, we'll change the light schedule to 12/12 for about two weeks. Watered them with 'GHE Pro Roots' solution and spraiyed with clean water. It was a good day. _________ Week ends.

Day 15 Update : Decided to grab a tape measure to check canopy heights on a whim and discovered that my light was hanging 35 inches from “Cellie” Cereal and Milk . Wowzers 👀! So I raised the plant to be 26 inches from the light that I also dimmed down to about 40% . It works out that I can try to get the most out of the end of flower stretch for the older gal who shall no more than be mentioned for reference to accentuate the great glorious glamorous “Cellie”. The humidity plummeted after I did a major defoliation of the older gals so I adjusted the airflow rate of the lower in-line fan and the upper inline exhaust fan with the carbon filter . I lowered them both to the lowest setting & the humidity returned to “normal” Let me explain my reasonings/thinking behind my adjustments which are experimental at BEST. It’s worth also mentioning without having to preset a single thing on my 70pint Dehumidifier located inside this tent it is legitimately only plugged into my PRESET humidistat controller which is set to 50%-46% RH WITH an alarm on highs of 55% and lows of 43% . In real life what this translates to is when this humidity controller triggers the dehumidifier ON @50%RH immediately the fan of the Dehumidifier begins running. However this does not help the rising humidity that is occurring (it will reach 55%-60.2%RH ). Given a fixed amount of time , the condenser(atleast what it sounds like . .again, it could be anything) turns on . It is when this “condenser” “sounding” component begins working that the humidity IMMEDIATELY plummets down to my low point of 46% So to make a long story short the humidity gets vacuumed to 46%RH & the dehumidifier turns off, bc of the PURPOSEFUL EXPERIMENTAL TWEAKING making all air exchange fans low leveled the humidity slowly but steadily rises to 50%RH then the dehumidifier is triggered on but only the fans initially and the humidity eventually reaches 55%RH-60.2%RH & then the humidity gets all its hair snatched out by the dehumidifier and drops back down to 46%RH. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 with all that said of anybody was even interested per my tents leaf canopy height temperature average good to great OR LITE GREEN TO DARK GREEN VPD for my temperature begins @ 60 & ends @ 52 which is kind of a perfect storm for OUR GIRL “CELLIE” oooooooorrrrrrrrrrr sssssssoooooo I think/hope . She still hasn’t needed watering since being transplanted, she should now ready and willing to stretch those toes and we need the opportunities to top water that soil a few times to make those dry amendments available to her . More pics of later the week coming as we go . . Hopefully . Diligence is a practice Day #17: giving her some water today, no specific amount just until she feels the right amount of “heavy”. She was given 3 different batches of water once ph’d to 6.3 once ph’d to 6.7 one ph’d to 6.5. She’s grown an inch in 2 days. Also swapped out the smart hygrometer system to a different brand . So far it has all the capability I was looking for but I need to run 2 more experiments to know for certain it lives up to my needs and its price tag 😁 Day 18 Update: she grew an inch taller nice 👍 The smart hygrometer system has reported/experience Bluetooth failures twice already(although I don’t know exactly what that means considering I purchased this for it’s Wifi capabilities ) I didn’t think to check it whilst I was away so I cannot yet say If it meets my final expectation/need I bought a soil ph meter & it indicates “my mix” is at 3.1 ph 👀 hmm 🤔 I’m wondering if this is a must fix or can I get by .eventually she will be transplanted and at that time I can use my new digital soil ph probe to construct her new blend moving forward but I am curious is I mixed another batch at 3 something ph would it matter ? In the beginning I wasn’t ph’ing any of my watering just because I assumed my soil mixture was highly acidic because of the 70ish pecernr peat moss base . I also assumed that it would be acid fixing for the water I put in it and therefore wouldn’t need to ph it and I did just fine just giving plain old tap water when thirsty until I experience VPD issues & in an effort to pinpoint what my exact issue was and how to fix it I of course eliminated all the variables and dialed in on my ph of my feed water and now my soil so it leaves me wondering does the soil need to be relatively 6.1 ph or is the 3.1 I’m flying at alright also . I checked the other 3 currently in here getting through flower & two of them are in the 3’s for ph & one of them is 6.2(the largest of them all) how ever she was the largest of them all always and oddly enough I mixed one big batch for them and transplanted them at the same time so I get two of them having the same ph as “Cellie” but the other that is in ph heaven is an oddball Should I top her here or supercrop later hmm I need to decide my vision for this thing Day 19 Update: ponytailed her youngest internode for about 16hrs she aggressively popped out of it twice ! It didn’t even work for 24hrs when I try it again it’ll be before the internode is so strong . Also rigged up a 16in oscillating wall-fan that currently being held with 2 zip ties , 2 rubber bands , & a smidget of duct tape and MAJORITY OF FAITH keeping it in place . The biggest plus to my added circulation is that I got the 16in fan for ! A win is a win . Pics uploads will be held for the next 3 days until the end of week 3 upload . Drop a thumbs up Day 20 Update : THE FAN FELL! But no one was damaged or injured . I re-rigged it . This time with duct tape , 3 popsicle sticks , 2 heavy duty zip ties & 1 regular strength zip tie . SHES SOLID NOW 😂 I did some solid rigging this time & have videoed my handy work . Also I forgot to turn my A/C back on before leaving the house so temps and humidity skyrocketed and swung for 9 hours until I got home . The temp in the tent was 84.4 and the humidity went from 42.4 to 57.5 to 42 every three mins. Day 21 Update : SHES A PRETTY GIRL. RQS says Cereal Milk is a slightly sativa dominant hybrid but the pheno of this particular seed seems to lean more towards indica I’m not mad at it ! I’m getting more stoked to see what she can do. She still hasn’t received any additional water since day #18.

We have been in bloom since around Feb. 29th/ Mar. 1st. Everything looks wonderful. I've read a lot that automatics don't like repotting and defoliating at all, but I listened to my "green thumb" and took away some big leaves and relined my ladies about 5-7cm. So they are a little higher. I carefully removed the soil to the clay balls and put some new soil between. I really hope they don't explode because of this. Either I set my filter about 30-40cm deeper. So I have a better control of the humidity. That's all that comes to my mind right now. I'm really excited to see what comes out of this.

5/17/2020 so this is the 3rd week! The lil girl is looking so good. A little smaller than my other plant. 5/18/2020 No water todayvshe looks lovely! 5/19/2020 I gave her just a little 6.5ph'd water. 5/20/2020 It grew its first five point leafs 🍃 I'm pretty excited about it. 5/21/2020 I added some nutes for the fist time. Big bloom, grow big, microbe brew, Kangaroots, kelp, and holy mackerel 5/22/2020 I did a huge mistake I used table spoons instead of tea spoons. Stupid rookie move. Im pretty worried about it but ill just going to keep an eye on it.if it starts to show nutrients burn ill flush the plant. 5/23/2020 This is the end of week 3. I never thought Id see. Im glad I did this some mistakes but what new grower doesn't have them?

Both seeds broke grown on Jan. 11, 2020. I’m really impressed on how fast they are growing in a matter of 12 hrs. Most of the photos are taken earlier in the morning.

trimmed them up little topped at 3 nodes on main and others. Defoliation little by little over time.
