Mar 19 Day 1 of Flower 12-hour light cycle Mar 20 725ppm / 5.89ph Mar 22 759ppm / 6.03ph Mar 24 780ppm / 6.08ph +defoliation (large fan leaves and lower branches)

Humming along just beautifully. Heavily defoliation on f21 opened up lots of bud sites to the light. They’ve responded by packing on buds everywhere. Moved to the 32 gallon res this week as they’re drinking a lot now. 4 x 20 second feeds. Ppm around 700. Ph 5.7 light smell light last time. Seem to have gotten the fungus gnats under control with huge yellow sticky traps and a strong h2o2 drench. Cheers!!

Water only 💦 No problems until now ☺️ 1-2 week to harvest 🙌

Germination began today! 5/20/2022 Germination Complete! 5/23/2022

Beautiful plant

Hey hey Growmies! Smooth sailing for this little Samsquanch OG, in the begnning of the week I 3D printed a Hydro Halo to keep this girl moist as she sends out roots. A couple of days later, roots had shot out of every direction so I removed the halo and started LST and leaf tucking. This is where we start seeing growth! my first Mephisto Auto, Im excited That's it for now Growmies, I hope you'll follow along with these great artisinal genetics! Stay safe and keep Growing. I'm still looking for decent Black Diamond OG seeds, or something very close to it genetically, I'm also looking to add a second tent/light to my grow space, if you can score me a great deal or sponsorship, hit me up.

Fed both on Day 46. The Caramel cream likes to EAT! R/O is high again. I’ll monitor again during the week to see if this is an issue. Day 50: ph water feed w/ calimagic. Moved into larger tent to prepare for flowering soon. Added additional lighting as well flowering. Grow on.

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!

8 weeks into flower , white pistels still forming but thricombes are ready .

She's still going! Not long now though, I'm thinking a week or two. She is so frosty and sticky! Incredible.

Hola a tod@s !! aqui estamos ya en la 7ª semana de floración y esto va a tope!!, en esta ocasión no se verán cogollos tan gordos, pues las podas fueron más intensas a fin de repartir más la producción y aprovechar el area de cultivo, después del ultimo riego con nutrientes, les toca su correspondiente lavado de raices, yo utilizo un limpiador de alta gama que ayudan mucho a limpiar de residuos y mejora el sabor, utilizo la dosis recomendada por el fabricante y riego hasta que veo salir agua por los agujeros del fondo de la maceta, en ese momento paro y dejo pasar 12 horas para que actue bien, tras estas 12 horas hago el lavado de raices con agua de osmosis a 0.0 EC y voy midiendo el agua de drenaje hasta que sale a 0.4 EC , no conviene quitarle todos los nutrientes de golpe, para ello realizare al menos dos riegos más a 6.6 PH y 0.0EC para terminar de eliminar todo, controlando la EC de salida para comprobar que en el último riego antes de cortar sale a 0.0EC, esta madura casi para corte, por lo que tendre que subir un poco la temperatura, bajar la humedad y ventiladores a tope para acortar el tiempo entre estos últimos riegos, olor agradable a frutas yo diria una mezcla entre limón y melocotón, cogollos duros y de buen tamaño, es una planta robusta y fácil de cultivar, responde muy bien a las podas y no pide mucha comida, muy recomendabe!! veremos como se da su ültima semana, saludos!!! 😊 #emeraldharvestofficialtester

2000 ml alle 2 Tage pH-Wert: 6,1 EC-Wert: 1,2 Temperatur: 22ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit 62% Schädlingsbekämpfung: PPFD: 500 µmol/m²/s DLI: 33 Düngemittel: Mineralischer Dünger 3.5-6-6 PK 13/14 Besonderheiten: Wurden direkt in die erde gepflanzt in einer Kokos-Quelltabletten. -Tag 71 Heute haben wir auch bei ihr den Runoff kontrolliert und der PH wert ist auch hier leicht zu hoch mit 6,8 und ein EC wert von 1220. WIr haben ihr Wasser mir einem PH wert von 5,8 gegeben und Mikroorganismen. -Tag 73 Heute haben wir sie mit 2000 ml Wasser gegossen, angereichert mit 1 ml Calmag, 6,5 ml Canna PK 13/14, 1 ml Plagron Green Sensation, 1ml Plagron Power Buds, sowie 0,32 ml HY-PRO Generator. Der EC-Wert betrug 1,650 mS/cm und der pH-Wert lag bei 5,8 😎 -Tag 75 Heute haben wir sie mit 2000 ml Wasser gegossen, angereichert mit 1,5 ml Calmag, 6,5 ml Canna PK 13/14, 2 ml HY-PRO Epic Blast sowie 0,32 ml HY-PRO Generator. Der EC-Wert betrug 1,590 mS/cm und der pH-Wert lag bei 5,8 -Tag 77 Heute haben wir bei ihr den pH-Wert kontrolliert, und er liegt bei 6,6. Das ist zwar nicht so gut, aber immer noch besser als beim letzten Mal. Der EC-Wert lag bei 940. Wir haben ihr Wasser mit einem pH-Wert von 5,7 sowie Mikroorganismen mit Weizensirup gegeben 😅

The girls have grown so much and they already smell pretty good. I'm trying to decide if I should SCROG. I have a trellis net but it's just a net, not the boxy thing that I've seen others with. What do yall think, should I SCROG? GDP2 is in her 5th week. If she were the same age as GDP1 and BK, I'd flip them next week but I'll try waiting at least another couple of weeks to give her some time to grow a little more although she's catching up with the other 2 height. I'll be posting more throughout the week. 7/4/22: Defoliation... I know it's needed but they're my babies.... lololol 7/7/22: Look at my girls... they don't look like they've recently been defoliated. You can tell which ones are the Granddaddy Purples... they have a purple tint to them. The Bubba Kush is super green... 😍😘😍

Hello folks 😎 6th week of flowering and and no problem to report They drink about 5 liters every 4/5 days and this week after 2 watering with PK, i just put ph'd water to start reducing the PPM slowly until the end next week I'll give them a last small dose of nutrients (500 ppm max) and will follow the flush for the end, that's my plan 👌 my first impression on the smell that comes out, it's really piney/lemony ! 😍 unlike my Pineapple Kush, the buds are really huge on these Toxic 💪 but a little less frosty 😄 anyway Stay tuned and see you next week guys 😘 I also have another diary with one Pineapple kush if you want to see Peace Love & Weed GD Fam😍👊

It's really hard to get started with conditions and insufficient knowledge. but i did it. OG Kush really hard to grow, but it's really worth. ill grow this girl again I added more pictures of Super silver haze, she's baby and only 3 weeks to veg. Just showing

Merci à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis qui m'ont apportés force conseil et gentillesse pour ce diarie 🙏 @philosopherseeds @Williamsii @Castafunk @greenhousefeeding

Making progress 😎🌞🌱🌲❤️
