Hello, everyone. I want to inform you that the week went well. I noticed that the stems at the bottom, closer to the pot, are thinner, while the stems higher up, closer to the top, are thicker. We acquired supports for our girl due to her height. Because of the height, she was too close to the lamp, and I don't know how it will affect her in the future. We'll hope for the best. We fixed the mistake. The lamp was 5 cm from the top in some places. Now it's 30 cm. Thanks to everyone who reads my updates, follows the diary, and gives likes – you're awesome.

It is in bloom growing each day, I did defoliation the first day of the week and a little more training the LST The first two days of the week I sprayed both plants with BAC Foliar Spray just before lights out.... Every day I put CO2 pellets in a glass of water while the lights are on.

D28 - The first day in the fourth week of veg for Nordle #2 and the start of the third week for #1. I gave both girls around 2.5-liters of the compost tea I started brewing yesterday, and for once, I remembered to check the pH and adjust it to 6.5. Yay, progress! D29 - Today, it was finally time to top the second girl. She was already seven nodes tall, around 30 cm. First, I got everything together as I prefer to have what I need before starting instead of running around looking for something mid-process: Snips, a couple of glasses with water to put cuttings in, bonsai wire and soil staples, clone-gel and a new razor blade, dwc cloner, peppermint oil and Q-tip. After cleaning the snips thoroughly with alcohol, I topped her just above her fourth node. I'm going to mainline her, so I removed everything below the fourth as well. She went from a lush lady to a stick figure! I secured her remaining two branches using staples and wire. The final touch in the tent was to put some peppermint oil on a Q-tip. Bugs and pests are attracted to the scent of injured plants. On the other hand, they hate the smell of peppermint oil, and it should deter the critters even though the girl smells like a buffet. I bought this tiny DWC system for a few bucks off Amazon a while back and want to try it as a cloner. (The primary purpose of this cloning project is to practice taking clones, plus see how well this hydro system works.) I trimmed each cutting before lightly scraping the stalk, making a fresh cut with the razor blade, and finally into a net-pot. I had planned to put some clone-gel into the water, but it turned out that the bottle had gone bad since last time. Oh well, pure water for this test run then. Finally, I cut up all the removed leaves and stalks into small pieces and distributed them on top of the soil in the pot. Have to keep that nutrition cycle going. Plus, like this, I don't have to worry about safely disposing those telltale leaves. Win-win in my book. D34 - The final day in the fourth week of veg for Nordle #2 and the end of the third week for #1. #2 has recovered great after her first topping, and I'm planning on doing her second topping tomorrow, six days after the first. #1 is a week behind so I'm planning on topping her in a couple of days as I want to make sure that her fourth node is at the same height as the fourth node on the second girl. The clones are looking really healthy but no roots yet but maybe that is to be expected considering that I'm using no rooting hormones.

It’s now showing pistils pretty well, and I got some critical peyote from Barney farms In a napkin right now There is a little burnt tip on fan leaves I think too much nitrogen since it’s in the big pot and the leaves are dark green. But looks good happy I picked the internodes during preflower too

Week 2 of flower baby!! She is still stretching up. I just gave the first feeding of the Bloom recipe from Advanced Nutrients. I waited 2 weeks to start the Bloom because I heard it uses a lot of Nitrogen during the stretch phase. I'm pretty sure there is some truth to that but according to the labels, the Bloom part A & B both have Nitrogen in them also so I'm not sure if it was necessary but I don't think it should do any harm either. 09/11/2025- She is looking beautiful! I'm really happy with how things have turned out, I was a little worried during weeks 4 & 5 after I broke a stem and cut another one 😅 but she has filled out nicely and you can hardly tell she's missing 2 stems. Buds are starting to form. I repositioned the oscillating fan and lowered the trellis by an inch or so. 09/13/2025- She looks very happy! She is a nice lush green and leaves are nice and soft. I'm pretty sure she has stopped growing vertically for the most part, I feel real good about how much headroom I have left. I can't wait for these buds to fatten up and change color 😁

🌿 Week 10: The Home Stretch! 🎂❄️ Welcome to Week 10! The 'Cake' is smelling absolutely incredible and looks like it's been dusted with powdered sugar. We are officially in the final stages of this journey, and I couldn't be happier with how this Zamnesia Wedding Cake Auto has performed. 📈 Progress Report: The Bulk: The colas are getting thick and heavy. I’m starting to see that beautiful density we’ve been working for all through flowering. Trichome Check: We are seeing mostly cloudy trichomes now with a few ambers starting to pop up here and there. Not long now! The Fade: I’ve noticed the fan leaves are starting to change color a natural sign that she’s nearing the end of her life cycle and pushing all remaining energy into the buds. 💧 Feeding & Environment: I’ve started to taper off the nutrients to prepare for the final flush. Keeping the humidity strictly low (around 40-45%) to make sure those dense buds stay safe and mold-free. The finish line is in sight! How much longer do you guys think she has?

COMMENTED BY MadeInGermany MadeInGermany 6 days ago Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hello everybody :-) Another nice week goes by. The network for the ScrOG was stretched :-) It is really strange how fast it grows in Aerophonic :-) no comparison to all media 👍. I will put it in bloom again in the coming days because the stretching at Aerophnic is extreme :-). With training I stopped so she was only topped 2 times in total. As always, the water was completely replaced every 10-12 days and everything was cleaned. She was checked for health so nothing stands in the way of her :-) Have fun with the update and stay healthy You can buy this Strain at www.Zamnesia.com Type: Runtz ☝️🏼 Genetics: Zkittlez X Gelato 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow LED CXB3590 COB 55 W 1 x Sanlight S2W 62 W 💡 Flower lamp : 2 x Todogrow LED CXB3590 COB 55 W 1 x Sanlight S2W 62 W 💡 ☝️ Grow Aero System : Growtool 0.8 ☝️ Fertilizer: Canna Aqua Vega A + B , Canna Aqua Flores A + B , Rizotonic, Cannazym, CANNA Boost, Pk 13/14, Canna Cal / Mag, Canna Ph - Grow, Canna Ph-Bloom ☝️🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EG. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with ph- to 5.2 - 5.8 💦 💧

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Some minor tweaks since these pictures were taken Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500 x1 Vege lights - DIY 630umol/s PAR x3 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR x2 Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature. A humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed The last 4-5 weeks of flower phase. Irrigation - I use 6 pressure compensating emitters per 5-gallon pot.. Basic process - 16/8 vege and 12/12 ligth schedule - Updated 2026 Sow up to 2x as many seeds as needed. These sit in a 1020 tray under the xs1500 until potting up to 1-gallons. After potting up, a couple 226-watt DIY lights are turned on to cover entire 4x4 area. Everything is hand-watered up to this point. Weak plants are removed as needed to get down to 8 plants that will go into final pots. This takes just over 3 weeks. Once in the 5-gallon pots (slightly under-filled), they move to the 4x8 platform under two 650w lights running at 60% and a slightly closer hanging distance than normal for a minimum of 10 days before flip to flower - usually ~14. Some light training with scrog to get the canopy level and allow 10-12 future vertical branches per plant to space out a bit. Cuttings for any feminized breeding cycles are taken after 30-35 days. Some light pruning of lower growth occurs. Flip to flower is generally 35-38 days after sprouting, but the second grow cycle can sometimes be delayed by the first. After flip to flower, lights set to 100% with normal hanging distance, and fertilizer concentration is reduced. Now, the vertically growing 10-12 branches per plant are spaced out the last few inches with minimal training. The scrog provides the anchor. If necesary, some minimal pruning is employed to avoid future congestion. Some pruning is inevitable, but the goal is not to waste time and resources on growth that is not producing fruit. Average and better plants will be 180-250+ grams. Weak plants will fall short of that. Even culling the weak early on in vege will result in 1-2 weak plants per crop, on average. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 10-14 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 65F and RH is controlled at 57-60%. Then, into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket. These are burped until moisutre levels are confidently at equilibrium. Once i figure out what I prefer to smoke, large portions of both harvests will be vacuum sealed - still kept in the sealed, rh-controlled 5-gallon buckets. Only cut open a couple at a time to keep everything fresh throughout the year. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor. Tip: Reconstituting 2-way humidipaks -- tray, humidity dome and a heat mat are used. Set some wet paper towel on bottom of tray. change these out daily. I use upside down seedling pots so that the humidipaks don't directly touch the wet towels. Set heat mat to 80F or causes condensation to form on dome, and the 67-gram packs can gain abut 0.20 to 0.25 grams per hour. Weigh them as you go until they get back to 67 grams and remove from dome for use or storage. Anything that has precipitated (hardness inside), will mostly go back into solution over a few days, but some small portion may not. Shaking or otherwise moving the pebbles around in the solution will help speed that process up. If those solids inside build up over time, that's when you'll need to replace them. A few pebbles inside of a 67g pack won't matter much. The key is providing a closed 100% RH environment without directly wetting the packs. Rate of absorption is fairly slow, and will vary by pack size. You may not get 100% of it back into solution, but as long as those solids don't build up much, they'll work fine. This process also reduces any bud smell that may be clinging to them... assuming they dried out significantly and not just topping them off with a few grams of moisture. Don't try to max out their weight unless you are certain you only need 1-way RH control. Othwerwise, you don't want them fully saturated. So, do weight and keep track of their progress.

This week has been such a gift! I have learned so much about proper care for a plant I had no idea how little I knew sitting down and observing these majestic trees produce such a potent flower has really humbled me. Premium cultivars strain has shown resilient and self sustaining easy to grow traits that it is hard to mess up. (Which I’ve done a few times lol) Notice the trichomes (I put the zoom lens on and got up in there so they could be better seen the bud itself is slathered in them ! This is going to be an amazing smoke! Also looking at the structure of the bud it’s self it has volume very full bodied bracts with pistils throughout It’s just an all-around beautiful thing to observe

08/30/2021 - Noticing more gnats than usual. Could be overwatering, anaerobic soil conditions, or both. - Going to set up fly traps, starve both the plant and the gnats of water for about a week. - Will observe any stress responses due to an extended dry period.

8/30 - Day 65: All is great. Plant 1 will be harvested very soon, I'm thinking September 6th or 13th... all depends on the trichome development. I have come across a wicked calcium deficiency that I am solving with foiler spray and a little more supplemented in the nute mix, but I don't quite understand what's happening. I will post a question and update with information. I read it takes about a week to fix, so I'm not to worried about it ruining my harvest, it just sucks and I want to fix it. 8/3 - Day 69: Fuck... man... it's CRAZY how much they change overnight at this stage. We are flushing plant 1 (center plant in photos) Sunday, and we will harvest her September 13th, at the latest. I check her trichomes everyday and they are still not milky — so we wait! Colors are beautiful, bright orange and a wonderful violet purple. The sugar is just piling itself on. Smell is average, but if you bump them, or trim a leaf... it gets much, much more potent. The buds are sticky as literal superglue. I cannot wait to smoke. We have been fighting a small CalMag deficiency the past 8 days, but I think we are out of it. Typically takes 6-8 days to see any sort of relief from this, and I haven't seen it spread to a few of the older colas, so that's good! I'll get some more micro shots later this week. Harvest scheduled for September 13th. Flush starts tomorrow - 9/6. Fuck. Yes.
