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!

Tenemos 3 fenos diferentes 2 de ellos muy marcados cada 1 de un parental de la versión no auto de Triton Biscotto Lime, como son Lemon Tree 🍋 [olor a SLH exagerado, (la más rapida)] y OreoMintz 🍪 [olor muy fuerte(la más "bajita" pero más avanzada en floración)] el último feno Kush más terroso proveniente de la Panty Punch Auto 👊(la más fina de momento) En general encantado y asombrado con el desarrollo de las 3, llevan poda de bajos en los 2 primeros nudos y limpieza de internudos y chuponas interiores en la parte baja 🍃

J’ai d’abord pris ma bouture sur un pied en floraison, elle a passé 2 semaines dans ma bouturette maison, puis après l’apparition des racines, j’ai saupoudré du great white myco sur les racines puis mis la bouture en lightmix. Malheureusement je subis une belle attaque de thrips, j’attends donc la livraison de prédateurs : les chrysopes, j’ai hâte de les voir me sauver en se régalant !!

Welcome guys Here we are finally at the reviews of this strain from seed bank Barneys farm, called UTOPIA HAZE I must say that I enjoyed cultivating it 🙂🌱 The plant didn't bother me too much, it was pretty good.. It lends itself well to cultivation in scrog or in any case practicing lst 👌 It also reacted very well to more than one topping.. Honestly, as you can read through the various weeks, at the beginning the intention was to limit yourself to a single topping, so as to obtain 6 big final buds.. "Unfortunately" ,sometimes, I vape too much weed and end up doing some bullshit 😓 Indeed As you can see in week 9.. Accidentally, while cleaning the growbox, I broke a branch of the plant.. At that point I decided to toppinf all 6 of the main branches ✂️✂️ From here, another 12 were born, plus other smaller ones that were already present, took on strength 🌱🌱👉🌳 In the end the buds were and are practically all the same size, the main ones And very full of fragrant resin 💯🔥 The scent has fruity and earthy tones with hints of haze 🍊🍋🍭 I believe it is the most indicative phenotype towards this 🙌 And honestly, the fact that haze notes don't prevail makes me happy, because in the long run I don't really appreciate it.. But I love the structure of sativas and can't wait to grow a serious one.. Anyway The effect is quite balanced between a mentally socializing high, but with a relaxed physique 🧘‍♂️🗣️ Also excellent for sports🏃‍♂️🚵‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ Obviously better vaporized 👌👌 But as you can see in the video, I always do a smoke test to evaluate well 😎 And this produces a lot of oil, as well as having a fairly white-ash.. The test and photos are just over two months after the cut 📆 For more info on this cycle, I invite you to scroll week by week where I wrote down everything I did, I hoped and I believe the best 😉 At least of my abilities.. And that's all ganja lovers 💚 I thank everyone for their support and appreciation : 1:: 1:: 1: Great genetics as always Barney's farm 🌞 And thanks a lot to Grow diaries for this space 🙏🙏 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

Days 106 - 112 (from sprout) 9/6/24 - 9/12/24 Chopped Loompa's Headband x Triangle Kush at day 109 - trichome check looked good enough and most of the leaves were drying out. Cut down according to biodynamic moon calendar for flowers. Blue Nose Pit senescence finally noticeable this week - anthocyanin being it's main display, buds turning more purple The Good Shit has a noticeable fade starting this week now IPM: Applied enzymes (tweetmint) at a rate of 0.5 fl oz to 1/2 gallon and sprayed on cover crops + mulch

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Saw pistils today. I believe she is in preflower!

Song of the week : Eminem - Fall ------- Day 87 - Back for another week🤘 , that grow seems to be endless ⏲️ but you can put it in me as I am on a Nitrogen excess since... a lot of time. But the lady is good , buds are packing and smelling really nice : a mix of Guyana/pineapple/bubble gum 😍😍😍. Contrary to the leaves the buds are clear green , did not check the trichomes yet but I can see many but not that much , I would like her to be just a bit more frosty. Yesterday she get a 1.80 Ec feeding with 6.4 PH and no runoff, feed with megacrop+calcium (once again I'am not doing what I said last week 😅). -------- Day 88 - Water with clear rain water with EC 0.03 ph 6.3 and the runoff was 1.98EC and 5.8Ph. Next watering will be water + calcium to low the nutrients amont of the coco and to prepare the plant to a low N feeding for the next weeks. I will only use GHE rippen the last weeks then flushing. Today I check the trichomes and they are all milky (90% at least) so I hope they will soon become amber. -------- Day 90 - I just water her with clear water yesterday as she started to burn a bit due to the high EC in the medium. Couples flush should get rid of it but it means that I'll go light on the next feedings. She's also packing beautiful nugs, last week was a good fattening one ! She' still Dark green but the buds are clear. And the most important thing : She's out since a week now -------- Day 91 - Last day of the week and an ultra hot day with 31/32 °C outside 😲. Clear water today , Runoff 6.3 PH & 0.70 Ec. Next week will be the full PK one

Flipping in 2 weeks

Warning to anyone that growing this strain. It is a huge plant be careful not to let it get to big before flipping to flower. Also this plant is a beast at stacking. Do not lollipop this strain let it grow and then around day 18 or so of flower anylize the plant and lollipop only the lowers that branch out. There will not be that many the plant is almost full stack Week three of flower is off to an amazing start! At day 22, the ladies are looking incredibly healthy. They're praying like crazy, reaching for the light, and stacking nodes like it's their job. The buds are starting to plump up, and the trichome production is getting intense. I'm so excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks!

She has shown herself! Definitely a relief since I was worried about the early use of OregonismXL. Took a little more time to break the soil than her closet-mate, but it’s also very likely I was just inconsistent with my planting depth. Worth mentioning: This plant is my summer outdoor grow, but it will do most of its veg stage indoors. The weather is dookie butt during veg season where I’m at.

Todo correcto por ahora 🤟💚

Not getting enough light coverage due to the light the tent came with and the inline fan not doin anything at all honestly but still doin pretty good so far hopefully I don't get bud rot before I can make it to my first harvest... I know it would be way better with a Grow Abby soil edition 😜

Week 3 starting off strong No nuts just yet still letting the Nector of the gods and FF soil just be my main base for nuts. Also I add some cal mag and PH balance the water. I will probably start adding some noots toward the end of the week when I start seeing some more growth. For right now I'm thinking I might let them veg for about 6 weeks depending on the growth in the upcoming two weeks. Hope you all are having a safe and fund grown.
