These had a pretty good life. I actually only fed NPK the one time . Germinated them in a Zambeza propagator, i really recommend getting one of those propagators, they're reusable and really take the heat off those first days when you're sweating. Pooped them into their plugs they sprouted out strong, germinated 5 kept 3. transplanted them no problem. Veged these for 4 weeks, then they shot up. during veg they stretched out a bit early on i should have been giving some specialised micro i had on had but for some reason on the other i didnt. They needed extra support for their first three weeks, so i decided to LST them around week 2. Two camping hooks one anchor for the main stem and one to keep the plant down. Once i dialed in my lamp to plant distance they benefitted by slowing down on the stretch a bit. they all took to LST extremely well, bushing out and creating an nice even canopy. They pushedout these thick indica leaves, one of my plants was a lighter colored leaf pheno, the vertafort one. The Six Shooter genetic really stretches, if just off the top of my head it seems that the plants quadrupled in size over an 8 week period, completely eclipsing their neighbours and creating a thick dense canopy throwing shade down below. Each turned into a bush with three or more mains sticking out the top by week 6. IThe results start to look real pro around week 8. Before that though I hadn't been defoliating. This and simple lack of light means that I had loads of undevellopped colas. If I'm honest I should have tried to harvest in stages but by colas. Anyway these kind of grew like a gorilla glue but with much different and much better flower structure. The plants started pushing out flowers and pistils and preflowers etc early, but then took a while to gear up towards towards getting fat. The flower branch out in a spiral pattern up and down the main and secondary colas evenly, creating this misssile shaped colas, but they branch out once sometimes twice, which means less branch to nug ratio than a gorrilla glue by a full multiple. They started smelling like lemons around the time they were fattening up. Then they started getting buff, really little by little, what did rippen rippened evenly. Some colas was basically waste especially the colas stuck on the sides of the tent and some of the colas where for some reason or another there was no light there due to the dense canopy. Truly a BEAST OF A PLANT, HIGH POTENTIAL, great BRANCHING, if you look carefully each plant has more than a dozen colas, Timed it so the harvest was on a day the plants were chock full for plain water after ten day's worth of additive aided flushing. hung to dry slowly in the tent, got it around 55RH inside the buds over 12 days then trimmed and jarred in miron glass with boveda 62. The trim was a great experience, took a while but not that long because the flowers were so nice in the way they are. you do have to trim every sugar leaf one by one though if you're doing it by hand, broke these sizzors that @Mrs_Larimar sent me because of the resin lol. so I pull these plants out my tent and I just kinda look at them and they're basically dark green because of all the sugar leafs, i'm thinking to myself "shit i messed up this isnt even that frosty". well, what i found out is every time i clipped one of those trademark long sugar leafs off it revealed absolutely resious white frost. That's what can keep someone motivated. ! Once jared, if there's boveda in your jar, you dont really need to burp it daily, or even weekly i just let it sit there, obviously i've been smoking it and following the cure, let me tell you this one needs longer to cure than you're used to maybe, at least two more weeks of cure after a slow dry. Four weeks after the chop , it's a strong weed ! Didn't smell all that loud, but I have a 1300M3/H exhaust so... i'm not surprised. I will say though that my neihbour said she could smell weed even when I wasnt home and she could smell weed in the corridor, from the times I was trimming and basically every time I open my jar. Gonna need a new carbon filter for the next grow. I retired my lightbulb too. Hard to put my finger on the taste because the smoke is so smooth, and when i saw GD had a tag for Woody, i knew right away this was that taste i felt. I will say this though, cure this correctly, dont rush, dry it real slow, then cure it, citrussy tastes, usually those will evaporate, leaving this distinguished terpene heavy hitter much better tasting. So what can i tell you, this weed is white weed, so frosty. Bag appeal is great too, this strain pushes out pistills like no other, maybe even more than the gorilla glue. that means this is a chill weed right? One of the phenos I grew had more pistils than the other two. Mr. B's did, but i dont know if you can really tell from the close ups, i'll try to put some more pictures up. I got two maybe three phenotypes in terms of taste. Mr. B’s is much pine-ier than the others, and when the joint goes out and you light it again, it’s even more piney … I’m actually really happy about that reminds me of white rhino from the east coast back in the day but way piney-ier than that even. When you smoke the other phenos the smell is incense and the taste is really really smooth & woody. Sometimes I find different after tastes on the exhale like coffee, pepper, and maybe sweet/fruity sometimes too depends on the pheno I'm toking on. It is LOUD THOUGH, always have a spare filter on hand IT’S NOT WORTH IT get it ! Well at the end of my first grow, i'd like to quickly review all of Bulbi's own : Bulbi"s Own Early VegMicro: Fine green powder with calcium and all the rare metals in it. I didnt use it ! Damn, next time I'll amend my soil with it like i did this time on the FBT1 Bulbi's Own Cal Mag : Organic fine white powder with calcium and magnesium, i used it in the feed and sometimes as a spray. I didnt know how much to put in because these things dont come with instructions so i ended up putting 1/4 doses most of time. The correct amount should have been 2.5G/L. Bulbi's Own Flower Micro : Organic fine beige powder that I used mixed in with the sulfur. I think this one's a keeper, really helped my plants make it through the stress of bottom feeding and all that heat. Bulbi's Own Mag Sulfur : Organic fine red powder that I used mixed in with the Flower Micro I used this one in my spray too , to great effect, in my opinion Bulbi's Own Beneficials Trio : This was the base beneficials mix I had, you need to put 7.5 to 15g/l , watch out for clumps, use at the night fall, or when still dark. Bulbi's Own Anti Afid : I threw it in there i think just in time to protect my plants when I intentionally overwatered when I went on my trip. There were some white flies that emerged, because... well that's what they do isnt it. but there were just a few of them and they ended up flying around wierdly, and within four days, no more white flies, didnt even use yellow sticky tape ! You mix this one with the trio for even more effect. I used these in a spray I think , also. Bulbi's own Anti-Worm : This one is more directed against larvae, and can be combined with the base trio. I was weary of using it, but I'm glad i did to give my soil matrix that full spectrum of biological protection. Bulbi's own Humic Acid : This one i loved, looking back I'm regretful not having used it more. the dry humic acid is a great experience, the quality of it was impressive, clumps would seperated into more clumps ad infitum the feed slowly turning completely ink black. definituely using this once a week from now on Bulbi's own Amino Acids : this one is just amino acids, maybe next time I'll use it at the same time as the humic acid, but I'm not 100% on that. What i did do was spray the top layer of the soil with amino acids when I accidently ran into some issues from spraying kelp all over the place. So in that sense it's an absolute life saver and a must to have on hand. Bulbi's Own Kelp Extract Concentrate. Loved this one too haha, so thick, and green, check out the video of when i pour it lol. Worked great, raises the pH some so be careful, i used this one as a sprat aswell to get those plant growth hormones pumping during the seeding and veg stage. Bulbi's Own CO2 : well part of what I set out to do was to test the CO2 theory. Like roots do absorb CO2 but at a lower efficiency than leaves say 15% vs. 85% the theory being enriching your water or feed with CO2 would ultimately benefit the plant. So i enriched water with these ceramic based co2 tablets, because CO2 is a soluble gas, it stays in water. Then i fed the plants in this manner in the feed and also as a spray. The idea behind that was that co2 enriched water would come in direct contact with the plant allowing for absorption of some quantity of CO2 through the leafs. Someone explained to me that these are actually old school techniques. Well I know i started late and didnt follow a regular schedule like i wished for but the plants didn t die, or show any immediate negative upon innoculation, so what can I say? I'm doing this again, perhaps. Only problem is that these things are really a pain to pH correctly General Hydroponics Dry pH Down : GREAT PRODUCT, hard to find but amazing – not registed on GD for some reason I still have to make my bubble hash so any advice welcome ! 🚀

Well I was gone for 10 days and came back to absolutely astronomical growth! Must of grown a foot and a half at least! No signs of pistils yet, which means she's got another foot even before the pre flower stretch! What the heck have I gotten myself into. Did some minor defoliating, mostly removing growth tips below the 4th or so node, and LST clips to try and control height and canopy. All she had while I was done was 90min drip irrigation every 3 days and a quick spray of LCPT.

This strain just blew me away and is now a favorite.! Next time I grow this strain I will definitely scrog it because I did not expect how big this beast would get in a 3.5x2.5 closet.! The other WCOG is still going so I don't think I can come back and add the results on this post.? But I can tell you that its going to be a big yielder without a doubt...! I got 212.3 grams (7.4 oz) dry out of the one.! I used 4 AutoCobs at 55 watts apiece that equals to a 600 watt HPS but much more efficient and less costly... I'll never go back to LEDs.! My nutes was Mega Crop and this will be my lineup until something else can outperform it and that's gonna be hard to beat.! I'll be using these nutes for a long time to come... When I managed to get the plant out of the closet it looked like an octopus lol... Anyway enjoy the video and pics))291480 UPDATE: 494.7 (17.4 oz) total weight from both plants.! Wow...!0

The Superboof harvest was impressive, yielding large, crystal-covered buds with a captivating aroma. What's truly striking is the deep purple hue revealed when the buds are broken apart, adding a unique visual element to its already impressive qualities.

Hi meine lieben, 🤗 Die 2. Woche der Wachstums-Phase steht an... ..und die realität schlägt zu. Hatte versucht diesen Run mit einem höheren VPD-Wert und dadurch ohne zusätzliches CalMag hinzufügen zumüssen laufen zulassen. Da laut einer Studie, man durch einen erhöhten VPD, kein zusätzliches CalMag unter LED's hinzugefügt werden müsste. Allerdings gieße ich noch mit Leitungswasser. Also hatte ich mir mal die werte meiner Stadtwerke angeschaut. Und in meinem Wasser habe ich Calcium = 78 mg/l und Magnesium = 5,3 mg/l und somit ein verhältnis von 14:1😰. Was von einer Optimalen versorgung von 2:1 - 4:1 CalMag etwas entfernt ist... 😅 Beste Lösung wäre ein Filtersystem wie der Watertrim zu nutzen. Günstiger ist es Mono-Magnesium (oder bei bedarf Mono-Calcium) zu besorgen und das Wasser im richtigen Verhältnis auszugleichen. _________________________________________________________ Optimale CalMag-Versorgung in den einzelnen Phasen: Sämling: Cal: 50-60 mg/l Mag: 20-30 mg/l Wachstum: Cal: 80-100 mg/l Mag: 30-50mg/l Blüte: Cal: 100-120 mg/l Mag: 40-60mg/l ______________________________________________________________ Wie mein Ablauf in dieser Woche genau aussah, habe ich auch diesmal für uns Dokumentiert. Ich wünsche dir viel Spaß & Happy Growing 🌱🤗: _______________________________________________________________ Umgebungswerte der Woche: - Temperatur: 25°C - Luftfeuchtigkeit: 65% - VDP (Room): 1,1 _______________________________________________________________ Tag 8: - Nur beobachtet 😋 Tag 9: - Pflanzenhöhe gemessen: 20cm 🌱 - Stamm-Durchmesser gemessen: 0,44cm = 44mm Ø - Licht Intensität eingestellt - PAR - PPFD: 320µmol / DLI: 21 Mol Tag 10: Bewässert 👇 (Leitungswasser): - Volumen: 1000ml - PH-Wert: 6,15 - EC-Wert: 0,46 - Temperatur: 20°C Run-Off (Drain) gemessen 👇: - PH-Wert: 6,7 - EC-Wert: 3,6 - Temperatur: 21°C - Volumen: 220ml Tag 11: - Nur beobachtet 😋 Tag 12: Bewässert 👇 (Leitungswasser): - Volumen: 1200ml - PH-Wert: 6,1 - EC-Wert: 1,52 - Temperatur: 20°C Run-Off (Drain) gemessen 👇: - PH-Wert: 6,7 - EC-Wert: 3,2 - Temperatur: 22°C - Volumen: 260ml Pflanzen Training: Topping, Vor-Lollipopping Lampenabstand eingestellt: 50cm Licht Intensität eingestellt - PAR - PPFD: 300µmol / DLI: 19,5 Mol Pflanzenhöhe gemessen: 22cm 🌱 Tag 13: - Nur beobachtet 😋 Tag 14: Bewässert 👇 (Leitungswasser): - Volumen: 1200ml - PH-Wert: 6,1 - EC-Wert: 0,48 - Temperatur: 21°C Run-Off (Drain) gemessen 👇: - PH-Wert: 6,4 - EC-Wert: 2,95 - Temperatur: 21°C - Volumen: 160ml Pflanzenhöhe gemessen: 25cm 🌱 Stamm-Durchmesser gemessen: 0,67cm = 67mm Ø Lampenabstand eingestellt: 40cm Licht Intensität eingestellt - PAR - PPFD: 350µmol / DLI: 22,7 Mol

Welcome back in the 8th week of flowering with Dutch Passion’s Colorado Cookies. She is ripening good, buds are rock solid and covered in trichomes, such a beauty. The smell is exactly what I hoped for, the Cookies characteristic as we all know from the GSC. Last Sunday I gave her the last bits of nutrients, so this week is flushing till Sunday, Sunday will be harvest day!! I noticed that this one Colorado Cookies less to almost non purple than the rest, since most of the GSC genetics do have purple in them. But it doesn’t matter im happy with how the buds look and smell. Cant wait to have a taste! After this one is cut down ill put the other 2 cookies straight in the flower room for at least 1 week maby 2 depends on how well they will perform in there. My next grow will take place first or second week of December, in the meantime I will chooce a new strain to grow and prepare the next grow. This time I will perfom my first real ScrOG and combine it with the airdome underneath my pot (they say you can improves your yield by 20-30%). So it got my attention and im very curious about the results. That’s it for now see you all back on Sunday harvest day!!

Has been a good week for the girls. They really exploded this week. I can't keep up with the ties. They got too big to have a level canopy. Will have to adjust later this week after defoliation and lollipopping. Will be a huge week and the girls will look different next time you see them!

Last week of flower! Unfortunately had to chop off a few buds ’cause of mold. During harvest I took off the big fan leaves with no frost, and also found a few small buds with mold — those had to go too. While checking everything over, I decided to just freeze the whole batch and make some bubble hash out of it. The buds came out pretty airy since it was an outdoor grow, and trimming would’ve meant cutting off a ton of sugar leaves anyway. So yeah, I figured this way I’m making the best out of the situation… at least I hope so!

Pheno 1 dark purple : On the nose, it reveals a sharp burst of fresh lemon, layered with a powerful eucalyptus aroma that’s both invigorating and camphorous. A truly refreshing and vibrant terpene profile😈🍋 Pheno 2 Green : this one is a real surprise! If I close my eyes, it’s like Nutella! It’s as if you’ve just walked into a kitchen where hazelnuts have been freshly roasted 🤤🌰 Pheno 3 light purple : It’s a mix of the first two with a hint of amarena cherry at the end🍒🍧

Flowering day 12 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey everyone ☺️. Once again a wonderful week goes by 😀. It has developed so far and is now slowly starting to develop its flowers :-). As soon as the first forms of buds can be seen (I think in 5-10 days) 2 g GHSC Powder Feeding Bio Bloom per liter of substrate are added. In the third week, 1 g per liter of substrate is added so that it lasts through to the end :-). This week it was poured 3 times with 1 liter each 👍. The entire tent was also cleaned and the electronics checked for functionality. The humidifier was refilled every day and fresh osmosis water was drained into the tank for the coming week ☺️. The plants have all been checked for health and pests 👍. Next week the bamboo sticks are inserted towards the end for support and the lowest shoots are removed so that at the end the energy is not wasted in the lower area 👍. Otherwise there is nothing more to report this week :-). I wish you a lot of fun with the update 😎. Stay healthy and let it grow 🍀. You can buy this Strain at : https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/115-amnesia-haze.html Type: Amnesia Haze ☝️🏼 Genetics: Original Amnesia Haze 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Our Zamnesia Super Boof is now in full flowering phase and the moment when the flower begins to seriously swell, the white. still dominates, you need to get out the booster. And when we talk about boosters we only think of one name: Green Sensation. ** Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. In this diary we find the plant worked with the main lining, it reacted quite well but is not very suitable for this technique. Maybe a repeated topping on this plant is better. We are in a 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We have moved on to the advanced flowering program. We fertilize with: // 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Bloom - 1 ml/l Power Buds - 1 ml/l Green Sensation All nutrients are available from Zamnesia: https://www.zamnesia.io/en/531-growshop/476-fertilizers We always have the excellent mycorrhiza from RQS running through the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/5778-mix-micorrhiza-easy-roots.html Leafy's Strain of the Year ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/13317-zamnesia-super-boof-seeds.html Zamnesia Brief Description // Here's your chance to grow one of the most sought-after strains of recent years: Super Boof, crowned Leafy's Strain of the Year in 2024, and rightfully so. Derived from Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies, this indica-dominant hybrid (70%) takes the already great traits of its predecessors to new heights. Grow it at home to find out for yourself. The whole world of growing and much more is at Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are fantastic and the old ones are no exception... -- // www.zamnesia.com

DAY 1 The seed is in the cup. DAY 2 We have a little tale. I can't believe how fast is happening while submerged in water cup, from now on ill use this method only 🤣I have moved the seedling directly in to the coco. This will be it's first and final pot only 2 liters 70/30 coco/perlite. I'm still not that skillful to try with 1L or less pot, but micro growing looks fun for me. It's already day 3 and I can see the sprout. The boys from Fast Buds and their seeds are no joke. I chose this strain becose is basically the shortest in fast buds collection. The general idea for this run is to be quick. 75 days at its best and longest. I don't plan on fimming or topping the plant. Generally I don't plan even to train it, the only think I want from.this run is to to see how quick it can go in coco with athena and how quickly it will flower. we have a real seedling over here still hiding in the shell, but this one looks great in his little 2L pot. DAY 4 RH 70% PPFD 180 Room Temp: 27C the shell fell off and now my little Papaya is getting direct hit by the grow light. DAY 5 RH 70% PPFD 180 Room Temp: 27C EC 240 PPFD 220 My small papaya is doin grate. I started to add a little fertilizer in the water just to keep the cube charged a little bit. It's time to feed a little bit light so now the PPFD is around 200-220 and it will stay like that probably until veg. DAY 6 Room temperature 27-29 C RH 60-70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 So far my favorite plant this run. I'm really excited to see my micro run if it is successful. It will need a lot of care becose small pot means a lot of hand care, but this will be good for my connection with the plant. DAY 7 Room temperature 26-27C RH 70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 No watering today the coco is pretty wet so probably tomorrow morning. My micro is showing significantly nice grow for now i beleave it will be in veg until next week. DAY 8 Room temperature 26-27C RH 70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 Slow but steady. The small one looks happy, few more days and ill start Athena nutrients by their feeding chart. DAY 9 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 My little cowboy is doing grate it's still far from veg but I'm not in a hurry. DAY 10 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 60% RH night 55% PPFD 220 EC 1.8 A little bit of Cal mag is never too much, so I increase the feeding EC to 1.8 and probably from Monday I'll move to 3.0 with blended line. DAY 11 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 220 EC 1.8 VPD 1.5 Nothing more dan a good picture. Minor grow of leaves but nothing impressive for now. Not like I expected much, after all it's coco, it's not RDWC. DAY 12 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 300 EC 1.8 VPD 1.5 Strange but PAPAYA is going faster dan gorilla in coco. It's interesting race for me in the coco media. DAY 13 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 I have increased a little bit the cal-mag and I have added some Silica from one old xpert nutrition bottle left from previous run. I do believe soon this little champ will be in to veg. DAY 14 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 We are in the big boys club even a little early but anyway now we are directly under the new light 1500W GML TARANTULA VOYAGER. Nice shot of 400-450PPFD for 20h a day. DAY 15 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 All good we are almost in VEG. DAY 16 RH 55-60 RH Night 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 2.8 pH 6.0 PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3 Welcome to veg, I'll not start week one veg today I'll start it in Sunday, bit obviously in less dan 10 days this flower is already in veg. I do like to count everi day from the seed but if we look rational its only day 10 days. And just like the gorilla, Papaya is showing amazing results in no time, it's just amazing. DAY 17 RH 55-60 RH Night 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 2.8 pH 6.0 PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3 I started foliar feeding with Athena Stack. With or without my wish, tomorrow is going to be day 1 Veg. Amazing speed it's time to bring the real deal with Athena, let's see how blended works for Coco on their feeding program 1:1. I have pretty amazing time in germination and most importantly this genetic shows true power and obviously is pretty tolerant.

Compared to her sister, this Pineapple Express auto flowered very early! I LST'd her while I could, and defoliated what was necessary. She turned out great! Although the yield for this phenotype is at my lower limit for acceptable. I'm happy that I'm growing a second one, that vegged out longer, making for a much larger Pineapple Express!
