Hey there, fellow cultivator! Super stoked to share the deets on my latest pheno hunt sponsored by the awesome Anesia Seeds. Massive shoutout to them for hooking me up with a bunch of killer genetics, including Future#1, Zoomiez, Apricot Oreo, and the almost mythical Red Banana Pudding. It's like Christmas came early with those seeds! So, here's the lowdown on my germination game. I went old-school with the water soak, letting those seeds party for about 42 hours until they cracked and showed off their taproots. Then, I gently transferred them to a cozy root riot in a small pot, sprinkling some Aptus Holland Mycormix magic to give those roots a VIP welcome. All this went down in a mini greenhouse dome, 'cause these babies deserve a superstar entrance. Now, why the water dance and the root riot ritual? Buckle up for the benefits ride: Water Soak: This gets those seeds in the mood for germination. It's like a wake-up call for the sleeping beauties, ensuring they're hydrated and ready to kick off their journey. Root Riot with Aptus Holland Mycormix: Think of this as a five-star hotel for your roots. The mycormix acts as a friendly guide, helping the roots explore the soil universe. It's like giving your plants a GPS for optimal growth. Greenhouse Dome: It's like a VIP club for your seedlings. This microclimate ensures they stay cozy and protected as they sprout into the world. Massive thanks to Aptus Holland, my main sponsor and the rockstars behind the only organic mineral line I trust. These guys know their stuff when it comes to plant nutrition, and my green buddies are gonna thrive, no doubt. Huge gratitude to Future Of Grow for the LED love. Those photons are gonna be like disco lights for my plants, giving them the energy they need to flex and flourish. And let's not forget Grow Diaries! This is where the magic unfolds, and I'll be documenting every twist and turn of this grow journey. Big shoutout to the community – you guys are the real MVPs! So, here's to a groovy, green adventure ahead. Thanks, Anesia Seeds, for trusting me with these genetics. Let the grow games begin!

Started with 2 Sour Chelumbians and 2 Lemon Haze Autos. Neither of the LH autos wanted to live so I started a bubba kush and a white widow to be in the same tent. They will be about a week apart in life

The grow was fairly straightforward and no complications. Veg was fast amd stalks were the thickest to date, I was impressed. Flower was a beautiful show, colors were dark and pretty, got to love that. Buds frosted up immensely amd after the trim still looked frosty. Smell was also a beautiful fragrance, the nose does not work so good amd to be honest mybe its me too. Cant really say amd don't want to make shit up. I will leave this up to a friend and will update later with the smoke report. I have to say this was a great and very satisfying grow. I'm not really sure if I am getting better or ot is the strain. I did change a bunch of things up. I topped at the fourth node this time, probably should have did some more topping too. Will work on that on later grows. During flower I did not let the pots get too dry, maybe 40 or 50%. I also started using a smaller area and now in a tent. Temperatures were also a bit higher, I think the Silicate helped the plan throught this. Flower I had low humidity, consistantly around 38%. Started using a PH pen part way through, just after flower started. This also seemed to help and being it was accurate. I PH'd runoff, never had to make much adjustments thought. Thanks for following and or stopping by! I will round up my stoner friends and smoke report to follow. Cheers

15/12 --> Looking good so far. I topped them few days ago and I think they are recovering now. They should be back on track soon. My novice eyes don't notice any deficiency, but please do not hesitate in commenting if you do. I don't water them with Root Juice anymore, using Bio Grow instead at low dosage. The green is more intense since I changed nutes. Cheers.

Kmintz #1 raccolto giorno 59 Kmintz #2 raccolto giorno 63 Seccato 5giorni appese a testa in giu in ambiente buio 24 gradi e 40% umidità con leggera ventilazione non sui fiori. Pulito i fiori e messi in barattolo tight vac più bustine boveda 62% e igrometro per monitorare ur. 48h dopo apro barattolo per visualizzare dato igrometro e se troppo alto intorno al 70/75/80% lascio 1/2h aperto se invece intorno a 60/65/70% apro 10minuti ogni giorno per una settimana. Cercherò di fumare queste due piante il più tardi possibile. Ovvio che qualche canna verrà presa qua e là ma avendo 65gr e 55gr vorrei iniziare a fumarla tra circa 2/3 mesi. Aggiorno diario settimana prossima con foto delle cime e qualche recensione sul gusto. Grazie per essere passato 😊🖐️

Guten Tag zusammen, Wir sind in Woche 4 der Blütephase angekommen. Bisher läuft es ganz gut. Die Blütenbildung ist voll im gange und so sollte es auch sein, denn nach dem Entlauben letzter Woche galt ihre ganze Konzentration nämlich darauf. Makro und Mikronährstoffe sind sehr gefragt. Wir versuchen einmal am Tag, ca.1 Liter Nährstofflösung in den Topf zu geben. Aber es gibt auch Tage bzw. eher Wochenenden, wo sie mal etwas auf Diät sind da wir nicht Vorort sind xD Bisher haben wir dort aber trotz allem, zusammen eine super gute Chemie entwickelt. Ansonsten zur re vege, die obigen Blätter sind schon dreiblattfinger. Jüngere Blätter beginnen sich zu Rollen was ein gutes Zeichen ist. Farblich gesehen und gesundheitlich passt es bei ihr aber auch. Dennoch haben wir den Haupttrieb getoppt, da es zu viel Masse für das kleine 60x 60x 120 cm Zelt gab. Somit auch nochmal ein wenig Schimmel gefahr vermieden. Ja ansonsten wünschen wir allen Growmies eine mega und erfolgreiche Woche! Genießt das des letztigen warmen Wetters und vielen Dank fürs vorbeischauen! VG 😎✌️

Final week before harvest. Been flushing for 2 days by the beginning of this week. Each flush takes the ppm level down slightly but not yet to pure water in the reservoir. Orange hairs are popping up more rapidly and I noticed a few amber trichomes at the beginning of the week. Trying for a slightly early harvest for the effect.

Week 5 things are really filling out, 3 blue kings and GDP are stacking like Legos, fruity pebbles is continuing to get stickier and frontier. Gdp showing signs of yellowing. So might give a small nitro boost. And the girls we're thirsty a tad. Overall everything looking great!

Hey! At last the day of the harvest arrived. Before that, I stopped watering the plant 4 days ago, and turned off the lights 2 days ago. As for questionable techniques, I adhere to the principle - if it doesn’t get worse, why not try?😄 So, I put the harvested crop in a dark ventilated box, for about 10 days, I will observe. p.s. I invite everyone to the next update of the diary - I will sum up, remember the interesting moments of the cycle, and of course I will try the finished product, see you! 😍 Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Doing great. Bottoms cleaned, waiting for a day or two to do a major defoliation. 17.11 Vast defoliation. All the bottom leaves and mids. Left around 4 top fan leaves On every branch. 19.11 Plants recovered perfectly, light is back to 100% . Unfortunately my Bluetooth app for mars hydro stopped working. Light cannot pair anymore with the app. Also irrigation is changed to vegetative crop steering.

Vor 3 Tagen habe ich alles beschnitten, paar Sonnensegel entfernt und Triebe(lollipopping) , die meiner Meinung nach nichts tragen bzw wenig, sie Strecken sich weiterhin. Bisher bin ich ganz zufrieden mit allem 😊 ich werde nach und nach noch paar Triebe entfernen die sich über die Zeit als zu schwach entpuppen. Jetzt sieht man auch schon schöne Blüten Ansätze und alle Pflanzen sind weiblich kein Zwitter dabei...bis dahin liebe Grüße und danke fürs verfolgen 👌

this week, the girl's rings are obviously increasing :) I think there are 2-3 weeks left until the finish :) I have 30° heat in the tent, which the girl doesn't like, but she will endure it - she is strong:).

February 2, 2021 (Week 4, Day 29): The plants grew enough overnight to top at the third node. This is the second and last time I'll be topping these plants - this is the Nebula method of manifolding. I also took off the second node of each growth stem as well as the original fan leaves. I've pressed them in my plant press to save the memories of my experience with my first grow. I also redid the LST on every plant. The new growth sites I've pinned to the fan leaves. I really enjoy doing LST, it's quite therapeutic to figure out just how to support the plant without harming it. I think I am getting great lateral growth so far. The main growth stems are swelling a lot at the bases. Medium is still wet from yesterday - lightly tilled about a half inch of top soil. I've turned down the humidity another 5% this week. I'll keep it there most likely until I start the flowering cycle. Averaging 60% rH and 78℉. Plants are happy, and I am happy. 😸 February 3, 2021 (Week 4, Day 30): Plants are looking good this morning. The nitrogen toxicity in Unknown 2 is beginning to subside. Now Unknown 1 seems to be having a nitrogen toxicity as well - slight leaf curling at the ends with a very lush and dark green color. I am assuming this soil is still very hot. As I've lowered the humidity I suspect more nutrients are being sucked in through the roots instead of transpiration through the leaves. I think the plants are going to take a little bit to get used to the hot soil, but I bet once they do they'll be as happy as ever. Medium is still slightly moist this morning, no watering. I tilled a half inch of top soil again to keep everything aerated. Most likely will water tomorrow or the next day. My LST seems to be holding nicely. I tied down Unknown 2's first growth tips as the fan leaves have finally straightened out after the topping yesterday. New growth tips are emerging nicely from the third node of each lateral stem. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. Nothing else to report for today. February 4, 2021 (Week 4, Day 31) : Growth looks good overnight. I think this second topping is confusing the plants a bit. Lots of bulking of the stems, but not much lateral growth. I have a feeling they'll take off over the next few days. They're still growing really well. I posted a grow question last night having to do with little white bead-like structures growing on the surfaces of the leaves on every plant. I was concerned it may be a mold or fungus starting to grow. I did a bunch of research and it seems to be early trichome development called "sessile glands". I still have the question open and I am trying to get confirmation. Really hoping if they're trichomes that's a good sign that these plants are going to be frosty. I uploaded some pictures to show the development. Over night they started to grow everywhere on the leaves - hopefully they really are just trichomes and I am being over-vigilant. Better safe than sorry. I watered the plants today without nutrients; 3 liters per plant pH'd to 5.8. Runoff sitting at ~6.5 pH now which is much better. I'll continue to run 5.8 pH solution until I see the pH of the soil come down to at least 6.2-6.3. Tomorrow I'll most likely have to defoliate a bit and tie down the second sets of growth stems, as they're beginning to stretch and grow vertically. Averaging 60% rH and 76℉. Happy growing all! 😸 February 5, 2021 (Week 4, Day 32): The plants are exploding with growth now. I defoliated the fan leaves from the first node on every plant and tied down the growth stem for lateral growth. These plants are meaty as hell. The stems are thickening really quickly and I am getting tons of foliage and stem growth. The third nodes are starting to come around. I think I figured out the "mold" issue I thought was starting. They're definitely trichomes, not mold. I touched the leaves that were sparkling and my fingertips got sticky, oily, and reeked of weed - so that's great news. The smell in my grow room is getting stronger every day. While defoliating this morning I found my first pre-flowers on Gelato 1! It looks like all the plants are female, but Gelato 1 threw some pretty pistils at me to get my attention. Seems like the plants are reaching maturity. Depending on growth over the next few weeks it may be time to switch to flower soon! I am aiming for about 16" in veg before switching. Seeing these pre-flowers made me so anxious for flowering. Unknown 1 and Unknown 2 are doing great as well - all the signs of the nitrogen toxicity have subsided. Unknown 2 has more trichomes on the leaves than any of the other plants, and its foliage is a beautiful deep green. They are either different phenotypes or different strains entirely as the two of them are growing and looking quite different. Unknown 1 is much lankier so I suspect a different strain. Unknown 2 is especially squat and I suspect it's 100% indica or close to it. Medium is still wet. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. No other news today. February 6, 2021 (Week 4, Day 33): Last 24 hours I have seen at least an inch of lateral growth per growth stem on each plant. These girls are absolutely loving life from the looks of it, they're growing incredibly fast. I redid a bunch of LST today. Had to move every tie up one node. Medium is still moist. Lightly tilled half inch of top soil. Gelato 1 is shooting out more pre-flowers. Thanks to my wife we have new friends that have joined us in the smart pots. 😸 Averaging 60% rH and 75℉. Happy weekend everyone! February 7, 2021 (Week 4, Day 34): These girls are chugging right along. Tons of great lateral growth every 24 hours at this point. Having to adjust LST pretty much every morning to accommodate for the crazy growth. Gelato 1 is a freak of nature - the fan leaves are gigantic. Defoliated again today; took the fan leaves from the third node of each plant. Will be defoliating the first node of the secondary growth stems tomorrow most likely. Medium is slightly moist. Tilled the soil again. Will be watering tomorrow morning most likely. There's still a little dropping at the ends of the leaves so I will hold off on nutrients until all nitrogen toxicity has subsided. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. Nothing else for today. February 8, 2021 (Week 4, Day 35): Watered today with 3 liters of 5.8 pH filtered water per plant (no nutrients) - runoff around ~6.7-6.8 pH. Will most likely resume nutrients upon next feeding depending on how the plants look. Defoliated entire first node from center four growth stems and tied down third nodes. Readjusted outside LST. The plants are almost to the outside of the pot which is when I'll switch to vertical growth. Unknown 1 is very close to being let loose, it's also pre-flowering now. Gelato 1 is now covered in pre-flowers - it's definitely a happy plant. Unknown 2 is still the runt of the group but also appears to be almost 100% indica by how stout it is. It's showing sex but no pistils yet. All three plants seem to responding well to mainlining and the stress isn't making them skip a beat. Stems are getting huge. I downloaded an app on my phone to check how well my lights are doing and, if the readings are accurate, I am very impressed with these lights. I've read cannabis can handle around ~65 DLI, so I am right where I need to be. Averaging 60% rH and 78℉. That ends week 4 of veg. Time is flying. Hoping to switch to flower in two weeks for a total of six weeks in veg. Getting super stoked to switch over! Happy growing everyone! 👽
