Well sliding into another week, I'm checking the trichomes and waiting for them to go milky, not sure if i can just check leaves for that. That's what i have been doing. I've been told i'm waiting for a portion of at least half of the hairs to go an orange/bronze color. Weird blotches become more prominent on leaves that its visible (they are just in some leaves) less than half id say around 15 - 20% and less than half of those seem pretty bad. I would like to know the cause if its nutrient lockout or a disease etc. Or perhaps its normal for late stage flowering i do not know

I came to the realization that we forgot to change the height they are now about 50 cm in height and the smell is now pretty strong but nothing out exhaust can't handle This strain is advertised as fast flowering should be about 6-7 weeks we are in week 4 of flowering at the moment so we really don't see this happening unfortunately, but if it does so we are pleasantly surprised with that being said they develop really nice but slow And another pleasant surprise is that we have our Trips problem under control for those whom are following us from the beginning they know how much trouble we had in the past with mites so very happy to say that the Trips are almost eliminated YAY! That's all for now Cheers, Nibameca

I mean this genetics it's excellent ... if I would grow zombie kush again ... good job ripper seed ... she fought and was very strong against the plagues after a beginning outdoors ... she fought against the white fly. worms .. red spider and other insects ... and deserves your recognition ... it will not be the most beautiful plant with its leaves impeccable ... but she is a champion ... thank you ripper seed .. .

Well its another update from down under.. and things are getting better with the Caramelo. She got badly burnt from my mistake of using too strong lime sulfur spray to treat spider mites and mold issues before they could take hold. And its kinda worked. lols...the mites are still there but reduced alot in number but I was almost ready to chop her after I saw how badly burnt all her new shoots were. But Im glad I decided to wait a bit as she has recovered faster than expected and while im sure she still has issue at the root level from the rain drenching her for near on a week- she basically stunted after that and never showed much stretch at all when switching to flower-she grew maybe 15cms in height total after that so Im assuming some kind of root rot has her and any harvest will be a bonus. In saying that Im still not going to be suprised if she suddenly dies or gets badly infected with bud rot out of the blue as Im nursing her hard just to get her to this stage and in my experience a nursed plant may produce a yield but it will be weaker than its meant to be and reduced by around 50% of the yield you should have got. if she was indoor id have ripped her out after the sighs she was stunted presented and started over with a new plant. But out doors I dont have that luxury so I will nurse her thru and hope for the best but expect less than average results. Zkittles though is loving life and just LOOK at her!! When you realize she was the same size as the Caramelo when the rain hit and now look at the difference- thats why i say when you see obvious signs of stunting-rip the plant if you can and start over, it may recover but if it was serious then the plant will never show its true potential and you may think those genetics are shit. Ive never grown the Caramelo before now so if i judge it on this result I will say the genetics are shit when the plant likely had root rot from 3 weeks before even switching to flower. And the BC buds hash plant is FINALLY flowering too now. For a 90% indica it sure is taking the longest to flower. I wonder if its the old school genetics at play here-This strain been around since the 70's while the ZkittleZ is a modern hybrid so maybe the newer genetics really are all they are cracked up to be. Thats why I love doing side by side grows out doors with diff genetics and see what they can really do. You should see my mates BC hashys- lmao, he said he wanted bigger plants than last year as he got "bonsai" plants from someone else. Now he has to tie down trees that are growing over his 6ft fence!! And they only just went into flower last week. But on that note- Will update more now as things progress towards harvest. Cheers for stopping by and if your still reading this-nice work, most pple cant read shit these days so double points for making it this far.

En fin...como todo lo que empieza, también se termina y casi estamos recogiendo el fruto de todo el amor, la dedicación y cariño inmenso que le ponemos a la más bella planta del universo. Tengo amigos a quien les digo que he tenido veces que en lo más hondo de mi alma, mi primera y última voluntad sería no cortar mis grows. Casi como si fuera en mi íntimo, lo que más deseaba, seria tenerlas preciosas para siempre y ver sus colores, sus aromas...quién no le gusta llegar a casa y la primera cosa es caminar hacia la habitación donde está el armario de grow...ver como los LED se proyectan en los colores verdes...si en mi temporada de verano tenía los colores naranjas de la Russian Auto de FastBuds...ahora con las temperaturas más bajas de finales de otoño, la Strawberry Cheesecake de Barney's...ay, que trabajos me ha dado esta señorita, eh!! Como me dejó llevar por sus colores morados y estos cogollos con la explosión de naranjas y rosados y ámbar (que no necesitamos tan solo admirarlas con el Photoshop en las páginas de los catálogos de los bancos...si!!! Que las fotos que sacó en casa no llevan filtros y los cogollos salen aún más preciosos que en las fotos de los amigos de Barney's). Hace poco "luchaba" con ella, poniéndole ScroG, trelizas, pin plásticos para hacerle Low Stress intentando controlar una "señorita" para la cual tenía pensado no más que un metro de alto y que cuando me seguía subiendo al casi metro y medio en floración sin detener su crecimiento...a esta "señorita" por la primera vez en mi vida, tuve que hacerle un supercropping encima de otro supercropping haciéndole un callo del grosor de un puño en su cola por que de otra manera no hubiera tenido techo de armario donde me cupiera el estirón de sus ramas. Me anunciaban en Barney's que su genética habría de salir una Indica en su aspecto arbustivo, pero no...la naturaleza no se equivoca en sus caprichos y en su "sopa" genética, sus ramas de Sativa se impusieron...hay que aceptar con tranquilidad lo que se nos viene encima y como no...pese a que en su final las hojas largas nos dijeron "Indica presente"...hemos tenido una Sativa...en todo, su tiempo de hacerse y desarrollarse en 13 semanas y la forma como con la red de ScroG se pudo conseguir que las luces llegaran donde no habrían de tener llegado. La pequeñita Strawberry que el 12 de septiembre despuntaba del jiffy, tímida y delicada...hoy es una "señora" y su paso por el mundo subirá en rollos de humo dulce y por el medio de sonrisas y por que no, "cabezones" por qué su "Indica" también hablará en su híbrida expresión, se recordará como una verdadera belleza...y si...por qué si miráis a las fotos, es también y mucho una belleza. Dejando la poesía de la vida aparte, esta semana ha sido semana que empezó con el flush el Domingo...agua corriente para que se lavara lo que le hemos dado en estas 13 semanas. Como no le hemos dado demasiado, donde le habríamos de dar lo justo, con el flush, muy rápido pudimos ver que el agua marrón se sustituía por água Clara, dando la señal que la hemos limpiado como se merecía...y seguro que tendremos humos suaves y aromáticos y no esa cosa que a veces nos toca cuando compramos alguna hierba a un amiguete que sea más apresurado y que a veces con la saña del negocio (y siempre el cabrón del dinero y los que hacen negocio de esto y que con esa "filosofía" tanto se les dá un flush bien echo, un secado como mandan las reglas o el curado de primera, para que el humo sea un "culto" y si unos pocos les dá la gana...para mi, esa cosa de ganarme la vida con esto, nones lo mío...y lo mío si es que cuando me fumo unos con los amigos, todos disfrutemos y que la gente me diga "anda!!! que esta es de las mejores que he fumado en la vida" y eso sí, es ganarme la vida...ganarme el gusto de perfeccionarme a cada grow, a cada variable nueva que introduzco en mis cosechas, a cada experimento que me trae conocimiento y buen hacer, a cada cepa que logró sacarle el mejor rendimiento no solo en gramos, pero mucho en sabor y en aroma. Joder...que esto de la "plantita mágica" es de las cosas más bellas y que más te recompensan en la vida y como os digo...mi "zen" en esto del "grow" no está en el humo y en lo "colocado" que me pueda dejar...lo que me deja, en verdad, "colocado" me quedo por lo que me relaja esto de la botánica y del amor, cariño y dedicación diaria al "grow". Sobre la "enana" ...la Critical Jack Herer... pues pese a una genética muy incompleta (y por que como ya os he dicho, que trifolios "ruderalis" incluso en la floración, lo que deja entender que Delicious Seeds mucho tendrá que trabajar en estabilizar esta cepa) camina también para su final...una cosecha mucho más pequeña en cantidad, pero por su olor y resina en sus cogollos más modestos y menos exuberantes en los colores, promete al menos, una hierba que "pongo mis fichas a juego sin limites" en la calidad que tendrá. Haré el flush el viernes y será un flush más específico, pues no pretendo darle un corrido de água alocado y si usaré el producto Canna Flush, pues también hay que aprovechar el sustrato que es de calidad superior y si el corrido de un montón de agua tiende a lavar los fungos y bactérias benéficas del suelo, con el Canna Flush se logra limpiar el exceso de nutrientes sin con ello hacer que el agua se lleve también lo bueno que hemos integrado en el sustrato a lo largo del "grow". Otra de las cosas que siempre contribuye a que tengamos un sustrato que después del flush nos sirva cara al futuro, es no solo el uso de las micorrizas que para mí son obligatorias, bien como el uso de "enhacers" enzimáticos que en mucho tienen la tremenda misión de convertir excesos de N-P-K en metabolitos de azúcares y coloides que las plantas absorben, sin que con ello, el humo quede agresivo en su paso por la garganta. Así...en los próximos diez días, tendremos terminada la temporada de otoño. Haremos el pesado de la cantidad, haremos los registos en la bitácora sobre lo que ha ido bien y menos bien y empezaremos a programar para mediados/finales de enero, el comienzo de la temporada Primavera 2023. Ya tenemos la "comida" de la próxima temporada y tendremos orgánico con calidad...tendremos más dos TLED 26 w, estos de 6500K para Crecimiento y tendremos ya la configuración LED completa que he diseñado en mi mente, que será el LED central de 192W, y sobre cada esquina del armario de "grow" alternados TLEDs de 26W, unos de Crecimiento y otros de Floración... Y "colorín, colorado, este grow se ha terminado..." Hasta la vista con fé y sabiduría y confianza infinita en el Dios Jah, sembrando la semilla de la concordia y paz entre Hombres y dándonos la gracia de la más hermosa planta del mundo... Fuí...ONE LOVE

Week 6: Plants are heading into full flowering phase. Still no problems at all - Plagron Allmix Soil in sufficiently large pots and Calmag will get you very far, if you don't use lots of wattage. Along with the flowers I start smelling more and more. Looking forward to the next few weeks. Approaching the end of this week, I started giving Bio Bloom. Future difficulty might prove to be adjusting the light accordingly.

New week, seems ok for first morning, will do heavy feed on day 52. I already gave away one plant ( strawberry cough photo ) now one of fast diesels still stucked in pre-flower, would love to return to 18/6 regime, just dont want any reveg or hermie. Still lost. Fingers crossed ;) Day 53 Morning, leaves a bit down after night, everything looking not bad, thinking to defoliate two midle babies. Had a big mistake on day 52, they where down, i stayed for one night out and was late with watering for a day, they looked totaly down, like my mobile, thats why no photos, never seen any plant so bad in my hole life... But they are ok now, quess it was on the verge, but damadge was done 100 % Day 53 evening. I wouldnt be me if i wont be searching ways to screw up the crop ;))) After many hesitations i decided to do very light defoliation. And ..... They hated it. Lets give couple days, but 2 huge stresses in 3 days dont give me and girls joy for sure .... In that rush forgot to make third Fast diesel photo, but i quess she didnt made mind to flower, took like 5 leaves down and left her for a bit,very annoying , she will be a big delay at the end or very early harvest, both ways waste of time.... Plus had to reduce light to 15.5 of day, maybe those 30 min will force her ... All 3 Fast Diesels are very mag hungry, fed them with epsom salt extra. Day 54 . Fast Diesel 3 went to 24 hours darkness prison with a heater ;))) hope that will teach her a lesson ! Others got feed with silicic acid, they drink, thats a good sign tho ! Fast Diesel 3 was a day behind from all, even 5 leaves was too much. But its a good time for me to give last trick i can, before downgrading day hours even more. Day 54 Evening. Girls are praying again, silica always boost them to hapiness ;) Day 56. Girls are growing, looks like last Fast Diesel starts to make buds from preflower, but a lot of pistils going brown, so either its heat, which i will check today or its hermie ;))) Could be wind damage, i will check all options today, returned from work, made short shitty video and thats all ;) End of week.

Nicer weather, strange how different the two plants are. Girl scout cookie is very bushy, but no real flowers yet. Kush is tall and thin with much less foliage, but far more flowers.

This was a great experience and something I have looked forward to for 19 YEARS!!!!!! Thats right, my very first attempt was a summer when I was 14 in a backyard with mediocre results and no flower but that was my very first grow ever. 19 years later its fully legal and here I am getting 36 grams of decent bud grown by the sun in a very questionable cannabis climate!!! NO COMPLAINTS HERE!!!!!!!😋 This diary was never about getting giant buds or the best flowers but more about I'm growing ORGANIC PINEAPPLE EXPRESS IN MY BACKYARD literally a dream come true, to do this worry free, 100% legal. As far as the grow goes I will certainly have some new strategies next year, I think a plastic pot would have been better to keep the heat in at night time with the cool temps earlier on in summer. Maybe even some minor insulation would be a good idea?!?! I'll invent the canadian outdoor cannabis pot hahahah I did not scrog the lady but I did use some yoyos to pull down the outer branches to help the flowers get even light. Will try folair feeding as well next time. I also dried her outside! and trimmed her outside to, she got the full outdoor experience. I just cut the plant and hung her under the deck, worked out good as it was a fairly dry week and she dried out fairly slowly, a little quicker than the tent plants. Now in about a week or 2, maybe a small cure at least first I will be doing the end game goal, smoking endless doobies of pineapple express while watching pineapple express!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone for following along, next year I hope to double this number!! Just for the challenge 😎

Last pictures before the 48 hrs darkness. After that it’s chop time. I’ll snap a couple before she goes into drying. ✌️ While these pictures drop I can add some comments.. she has a terrific nose to her.. kinda like fruity candy.. super sticky .. everything one would want in a medical strain. Though, I’ve never tried a true green crack. I’ve heard great things, and as a Sativa lover .. I’m hoping this girl is a gift that keeps on giving.. we’ll see.

Harvest Time! Meine absolute Lieblingszeit beim Growen! Nachdem die Lady ca. 1 Woche ohne Wasser war, wurde sie unten am Stamm abgeschnitten. Daraufhin hab ich mir erst mal die Pflanze angeschaut, ob sich irgendwo Schimmel gebildet hat. Gott sei Dank blieb sie davon befreit. Die Pflanze an sich wog etwa 320 g. Die kleineren Triebe wurden abgeschnitten, und die Buds daraufhin nass getrimmt. Die Blüten weisen einen Mix von Grau/Lila/Grün auf. Sehr schönes Erscheinungsbild! Die Buds bringen (inkl. Stängel) etwa 192 g auf die Waage. Der nasse Trim etwa 45 g (Tara von etwa 5g wurde hier abgezogen). Bin natürlich gespannt wie viel trocken auf die Waage kommt und vor allem wie sie am Ende schmeckt :D Die nächsten Wochen kommt dann ein smoke Review inkl. Trockengewicht! Vielen Dank fürs mitverfolgen und bis zum nächsten Mal! Gruß Wulle

Day 54 from seed and the canopy games began, i gave them all some defoliation and instal first net, also started to do some low stress training to guide them out. Day 54 and i had to bring to this side of the tent my little Kushi with is from my other diares but she had no space there, so i moved her next to the competition side 😁😝 I’m also making a water system, i will keep doing the watering manually, but with the help from a “auto/manual” system. Day 54 CS have 2 very distinct phenotipes, a normal one with an amazing black pepper smell with a garlic touch and an old school candy smell mixed within, the other one, with i think is a rare one for the chocolate skunk, is smeling amazingly amazing 😅 she as fruit in it like tangerine and orange, and shes sweet and so but so strong smells, im in love with her, and she stretches more them the other 2 also, she provably will b the keeper from the CS department. Day 54 and I topped CS1 lets see how she reacts 😆🤞💚 Day 54 and TP1 and TP2 are amazing, this girls are so strong and resistant, they are fast growers and they look like winners to me, both of them , caps off to @sweetseeds for such a good job on the genetics department, keep it up guys 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Day 55 and my water system is ready for testing 😅 i know i should test before its all in, but its a non stop live i have so no time , always beliving 😅🤞💚 tomorrow we will know if it works or not 😆😁 Week 8 day 3 and I finally got the water system working and running properly, I’m still plugging in snd out , but this will make my life so much easier, withs results in more free time to dedicate my girls. Tested my run out today and came out with ec over 2.0 meaning next watering mb the 2 nexts ones will be just ph water with regulator and some enzymes. I will keep testing 😆 as for the rest they all look amazing and I’m pretty happy with both genetics , this sad the Tropicanas are way more stable comparing with the chocolates, but still very early in the run 😝😅💚 Little battle between Topicanna Poisen from @sweetseeds vs Chocolate Skunk from @00Seeds (just for fun) TP = Tropicana Poison CS = Chocolate Skunk Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro at 75% All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!!! Stay safe and do it with love for the love ❤️ 🙏 💚Growers Love to you all 💚

1/19: Not much to report today. Got a good look at lemon autos trichomes under a digital microscope. I guess this is just another week of saying "one more week" 😂 1/22: gave lemon auto a good pH balanced water flush, northern lights got some bloom nutrients to help those buds do their thing. Trichomes look mostly cloudy- a few amber on the sugar leaves which means it's only a matter of time! 1/24: lemon auto update: trichomes on some outer buds are amber! Main cold nug looks like it's about 100% cloudy trichomes. Will evaluate tomorrow for possible harvest?!
