2/1/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 1
I have 21 weeks until final photo is do.. I took 3 seeds out of cold storage and will let them get to room temp for the next 48 hours before I go with Glass of water for germination. I have 3 beans because I will start from the very beginning helping ensure I present the best Pheno. This is going to be a fun one.. I am a few days away from being able to clear my tent out for this run.. I have a breeding run in right now and the Seeds are a few days away from being mature enough for me to take down the girls.
Once I get them down I will need to get my tent cleaned up and turned over right away. This is going to be close, I will have to time them to the water and into the tray at the right time.. because I will need to get lighting on them right away.. I have my 2X2 and my light ready incase I need to hold them in the cloning machine if the others are not done in the next few days.. Glad I have options that can stretch me out for a week or 2 to give me a little more time.
2/2/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 2
I checked on my breeding run to see how close the seeds are and if the tent is ready for me to clear and clean but alas I am still going to need a few days. I setup the emergency 2X2 and that should give me 2-3 weeks. The plan is to still wait one more day to allow the beans to warm up to room temp and then drop them in Water sometime tomorrow.
Form my Emergency 2X2 I have the following:
4" inline fan and carbon filter
Fan
VS-2000 light
2/3/2024- Germination Activities Day 0 - Dropped the Beans in.. Today is 0 day.. Go.. Go .. Go..
2/4/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-1 - Checked in on them this morning and no tap roots yet.. covered them back up and back in to the closet they went. I setup the Root Riots and the Seed tray for them. I Ensured my water that I was soaking the root riots in was PHed to 5.8 and I used RO water.
Afternoon Update: Checked on my Breeders and they are done. I started to harvest them, I took down the one I had reversed with STS and I took down the Black African Magic- All but one bud, I wanted to get some pics of that one today.
I was only able to get 2lbs into the Cannatrol because I had to be very careful to keep the bud from the plant that was treated with the STS separated from the other seeded bud that was pollenated from the plant I reversed.
Cannatrol could have held an additional 2oz of wet but not today. Ideally I need 1 more Cannatrol so I can take an entire Tent, but will figure that out. I put an additional 1.5lbs into the freezer to wait it's turn into the Cannatrol, I would have left it on the plant and taken it in 4 days when the dry cycle gets done but wasn't sure how much 2.2 lbs was equivalent to chopped and wet trimmed.
2/5/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-2 - Checked in on them this morning and 2 of them have very small tap roots out.. one still doesn't going to give them some more time. I will check in on them this evening and see if they are more open if so I will transfer the ones that are ready to their medium and seed tray.
2/6/2024- Planting Day TRUE Germination Day 0- Checked in on them this morning and all 3 of them have tap roots out. I broke the bottom of the tap root for #1 which was the biggest.. pretty sad.. I hope she survives.. I tried to be careful it just snapped off when I was trying to get it in the root riot right. Other than that all three are now in their in-between home in the 2X2 while if finish clearing and cleaning out their forever homes.
2/7/2024- Germination Day 1- Checked in on them and no surprise no sprouts yet. Sprayed the dome to moist it and light spray to the tops of the Root Riots.
2/8/2024- Germination Day 2- #3 is popped and it looks like #2 will be popped by this evening.. I got my second Cannatrol today so now I can take down the rest of the tent and get it into the dry/cure.
2/9/2024- Germination Day 3- #2 is popped as well.. so I have #2 and #3 up and still waiting to see on #1 but that might be a loss since I accidently broke off some of the Tap root when transplanting.
2/10/2024- Germination Day 4- #1 has Popped... We have ignition on all 3.. YAY!! I finished clean up and install of RDWC system, this time was unique the back left buckets 3 inch pipe wasn't seated correctly so I had to clean up about 12 gallons of water all of the floor. I also had two leaks coming from one of the Waterfall return junctions, this is why I do a full pressure test before I put anything in. I will continue to monitor it through tomorrow to ensure that I am good to go and then I will finish setting up the baskets and prepping the water to be ready for the ladies planting day!!!
2/11/2024- Germination Day 5- #1 Of course is going to be my trouble plant.. No matter what If she lives through planting in the system and making it, I think I might not cull her at all regardless, she has been such a problem, makes me wonder if she will be super worth it towards the end.. We will see as we go through this grow, but #1 has a piece of the shell on the leaves,
Other than that I set up a new thing I have been doing since last grow converting my Baskets into Sure plants so I can see exactly where the water is when I plant them and ensure I have the water up high enough that they are able to access it and grow but not too high were they are drowning.
2/12/2024- Germination Day 6- Everything seems to be going good.. will just keep them moist and let the roots grow for a few more days before I transplant to forever home.
2/13/2024 - Germination Day 7- Just keeping them Moist.
2/14/2024 - Germination Day 8 - Planting day.. they are now in the system.. :-)I had to fill the water to the bottom of the basket where I could see water on the bottom rocks and just coming up where I had created my whole/ sure plant.
2/15/2024 - Germination Day 9- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water. I ensured the PH is right at 5.98-6.02 range.
2/16/2024 - Germination Day 10- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water.

Last week I could notice the plant has a calmag deficiency, you can see the leaves with pale borders. However, it looks heatlhy after all, with big leaves and gaining height. I'm planning to use LST next week, when maybe she's recovered from the calmag deficiency. Let me know your thoughts!

Started to flush one of the 2 plants. Using pH 6.5 water without anything else.
Last couple of feeds for the second one which is about 1 week behind.
Have to say that despite my initial skepticism, the dark purple, almost black in the leafs has gradually appeared. Not as deep as with the autoflowers, and nowhere as sudden. The amount of crystals is much higher in these FF ones.
Hopefully I don't pull any dumb mistake in the last few days so I can have a no stress dry/cure.

She was transplanted into her final home (18 gallon), we added extra EWC to her new Promix..she's still having some nutrient uptake issues (definitely getting enough to eat)..we decided to drop her PH to 5.0 to see if this helps and we decided to hold off on flowering her until her color looks a little better... we gave a small dose of bloom, we like to do this 1-2 weeks before the start of flower with all our plants.. thanks for reading, happy growing 😻

First week of flower at last!! We didnt feel like waiting another 2-3 weeks for the next tent to clear so we setup a temporary 18hr space for moms and clones, both tents are officially 12hrs now (we just ordered a 3rd tent)..the Bangers have been in flower for 2 days now and they were definitely ready, they've already grown a few inches since Wednesday...we started bloom nutrients last week and cut grow solution this week..they couldn't look happier atm..I think we're in for a fantastic yield (i just hope we don't outgrow the space )..we also have 10 Solo cups tucked behind these of our own cross all flowering at once... We intend to lower the MarsHydro around week 3 of flower...we only grabbed 1 cutting of the Bangers so I'm REALLY hoping it takes because having mom of this wouldn't suck.. thanks for dropping by and reading my novel if you chose to do so lol, happy harvests friends!!

Day 36: I bend the branches even more, cut off the top leaf that covered 2 buds, one of them is very small, I hope to give it at least a little chance to grow. This is a victim of a broken branch.

It's going very well, nice even canopy and she's filled my 70x70cm tent.
On the cusp of the flowering stage, going to go very easy on the nutrients this time. Will start at 1/8 photo period recommended level and ramp up to 1/2.

Cada vez falta menos!!
Comienzo la semana con el último riego con fertilizantes y termino la semana con un lavado de raices, dejando en el sustrato un riego en dosis mínima de flawles finish para que en el resto de los días que quedan la planta se dedique a comer reservas. Dentro de la próxima semana are otro riego con dosis normal de flawles finish para posteriormente dejar secar el sustrato y al corte.
A ver que tal!!

this was an amazing grow!!
Some things ive come to notice were.
*1* no more seeds directly in the big pot.
NEXT TIME ILL GROWN THEM IN A SMALL CONTAINER BEFORE TRANSFERRING THEM TO MAMA POT.
*2* i raised these babys with minimum of additives. Every 2 feedings.
NEXT TIME IN FLOWERING IMMA GIVE ADDITIVES EVERY TIME WATERING.
* the big pot needs a bit more water then 10L every watering.
SWITCH IT UP TO AN 15L of water instead of 10L
I am a very happy grower with my grow room havin very steady temperatures so these are no problems over here.
Next round i think i will ad a little bit of co2 to see if it makes any differences.
These plant made me happy from day 1.
They grew in a steady pace and gave everything they got.
The one big strong plant gave me almost 300gr in the end.😍😍😍
So now i have made some clones of him and we will see what they are going to do next round.
( follow my attack of the clones diary)
Very nice strain very very strong plants.
Defo a recommendation for anybody who loves a good taste and a stong high
I hope you guys find my diary usefull and i hope to see you guys in me next diaries
Greetings Freddy grow

🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓
💧 Feeding - Using Gaia Green Grow / Bloom and Compost Teas
🍃Training / LST-Defoliation-Topping TBA
🕷️ IPM - Will be using Green Cleaner" 1 OZ per Gallon, and CannControl from Mammoth alternating between products each month for Integrated Pest
🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓
▶️Saturday 11.04.23 - One of these girls is looking good, but the other is a bit small, not sure I am going to keep it, this is the start of week 3, and going to set the light cycle to 18/6 pretty straightforward.
🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓╰⊰🍓´🍓⊱╮🍓
▶️Bud Description Ztrawberriez Auto produces long and fat buds with a beautiful light green shade with oftentimes purplish hues and a thick layer of resin that starts at the top of the flowers and continues all the way to the tip of the sugar leaves. It’s the typical bud structure you would expect from hybrid varieties topped with an explosion of fruity terps that’ll hit you in the face with a blend of creamy, fruity, and sweet aromas as soon as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for terp heads and extractors looking for exaggerated flavors and aromas

40% ProMix HP

Hola amigo!
Arrancamos un nuevo proyecto, esta grandísima cepa Feral Fuel ABC de @TERPYZ
Semillas regulares, con una mutación muy estable, de porte medio a grande, gran poder sativa, larga floración y poca necesidad hídrica.
La marca recomienda sembrar directamente al sustrato, aquí, en suelo vivo funcionó perfectamente, una no dio a luz pero ya tenemos dos nuevas representantes!
Debo decir que la marca me envió mi paquete de 10 semillas y dentro había 12!!!
Que alegría!!!
Los brotes tardaron 5 a 7 días en aparecer pequeños entre el húmedo ambiente inicial.
Se mantendrán en el tupper hasta que se vea estabilidad.
Saludos a todos y éxitos, este proyecto viene cargado de una gran aventura

Day 48 Gelato - day 48 - Defoliation was done. The broken branch healed and sprouted new branches. She cannot boast much about his height. But it is very beautiful, I hope we will grow 50 centimeters in flowering 👌
Day 44 Peyote - The growth process continues unabated. I am waiting for the desired size. 8 days after flowering it didn't grow as much as I thought it would, so we went back to the growing season. 👽
Day 49 Peyote - I decided not to cut the leaves anymore after much defoliation. It easily tolerates strong stress easy to grow.

1 of the bubba kush & 2 of the gorilla zkittlez are a little behind but over all everything seems to be going good so far!
Day 10 update transplanted all the ones in smaller pots to 5 gallon pots except 1 of the bubba Kush it still needs a few more days! Everything else seems to be going great!
