se acerca la ultimas semanas, esta semana se dejo de aplicar fertilizante con nitrogeno. se ve una translocacion sana hasta el momento. se espera que en las proximas semanas incremente el nivel de tricomas. Queda poco!!! Pd: pido disculpas a aquellos que siguen de cerca este diario, no pude actualizar a tiempo en las ultimas semanas, espero poder actuaizar de forma oportuna las ultimas semanas.

Ewerything works and im so bananas right now and broud of those ladys that comment will be, Start u'r own project and dont race becouse somebody may have 20+year of more info and they get moster no epic size planta but thats the goal be like pro at this lifetime. Aint do any modification only extra bag of co2 and wery mild start nutriments so stay in tune!

Decided to chop one girl early. If I'm honest I was very worried about the yield, because for the fort half of the flowering it didn't look very promissing but holy cow, just the first plant had 70g on it. I accidentally snapped two main colas in early stage so it would be probably more. However 3 girls are still running for at least a week or two so it looks like I will achieve 200g and probably well over which is awesome. Most importanltly, buds are super dense. Finally! I can't wait to finish with proper flush and curing. Humidity is now at constant 60% and can't really do much about it. Weather outside is also a bit humid, but i'm running 3 fans inside with pretty good extractor fan so hopefully no mould issues this time. I feel like the strain also help a lot. I will probably chop one girl in few days or a week and then the last monster looks like it will be ready little bit later than the rest so I will give it some extra time.

Aug 29: going great.

💜 8×8 Adventure – Week 14 🌿 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B ❄️ The Slow Starter Might Be a Fast Finisher… AND OH MY GOD, THE FROST! 👑💜🌸 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And today... I have one thing to say. OH. MY. GOD. LOOK AT THE FROST ON THIS GIRL! 😂❄️💎💜 Seriously! Our Purple Haze Pheno B has taken her sweet time getting here. She started slowly. She stayed compact. She never grew anywhere near as big as her sister. And for weeks, we kept looking at her and thinking: "Come on, girl... when are you going to show us what you've got?" 😂💜 Well... I think she's finally answered. And she didn't answer with height. She didn't answer by taking over half the tent. She didn't answer by trying to become another version of her sister. Nope. She answered with FLOWERS. With density. With structure. And with enough frost to make me wonder whether somebody accidentally left the freezer door open inside the 8×8. 😂❄️ She's still a compact plant. She's still the smaller sister. But when you get close to those flowers... HOLY SHIT. 💜❄️🌸 This girl is beautiful. And here's the really interesting part. Our slow starter is beginning to look like she might also become a fast finisher, much like her sister. I said MIGHT. We're not declaring anything yet. We're not writing the ending before we get there. But the way she's developing has certainly caught my attention. So let's give the Little Frosty Queen her own chapter. Because she deserves every bit of this spotlight. ──────────────────────── ❄️ WEEK 14 — THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN HAS ENTERED ANOTHER LEVEL If you've followed this diary from the beginning, you already know her story. She's the smaller Purple Haze. The slower Purple Haze. The girl who took her time while her sister was busy becoming a whole damn sporting arena. 😂💜🏀 Her sister went big. Really big. But Pheno B chose a different direction. She stayed compact. She developed at her own pace. And while we were waiting for her to show us more, she was quietly building her own personality. Now? Look at her. The flower structures are becoming increasingly impressive. The density is catching my attention. And the frost... Oh, the frost! ❄️💎❄️ This is why I love following individual phenotypes rather than treating every plant with the same name as if it were an identical copy. Her sister gave us size and presence. This girl is giving us compact structure, beautiful flowers, and a seriously frosty expression. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Two completely different stories. And both are worth documenting. ──────────────────────── 💎 OH MY GOD… THE FROST! I know I've said it already. And I'm probably going to say it again. 😂❄️💜 But seriously... THE FROST! Look at those flowers. Look at the sugar leaves. Look at the details in the close-ups. The resin-covered surfaces give the flowers that beautiful frosted appearance, and the closer we get with the camera, the more there is to appreciate. From a distance, you see a compact Purple Haze plant carrying some lovely flowers. Move closer... and the story changes. You begin to notice the details. The flower structure. The texture. The resin. The way the individual floral sites are developing. And suddenly, the smaller sister doesn't look small at all. Not when you're looking at those flowers. 😂💜❄️ She's got her own way of making an impression. Her sister can keep the height. This girl is busy decorating everything in sight. 👑❄️💎 And I'm absolutely here for it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 COMPACT DOESN'T MEAN LESS IMPRESSIVE This is something I really want to emphasize. Yes, Purple Haze Pheno B is still compact. She didn't grow as big as her sister. She didn't develop the same overall architecture. And she certainly hasn't tried to compete with the Big Mama for the title of largest Purple Haze in the room. 😂💜👑 But why should she? A plant's overall size doesn't tell us everything about the flowers it produces. And in this case, her compact structure is simply part of her individual expression. She's showing us a different balance between plant size, flower development, density, and resin appearance. That's what makes this phenotype interesting. We're not looking at her and wishing she were her sister. We're looking at her and appreciating what she actually is. A compact, beautiful, increasingly frosty Purple Haze. And honestly? That's more than enough to make her stand out. 💜🌿❄️ ──────────────────────── ⏳ FROM SLOW STARTER TO POSSIBLE FAST FINISHER? Now this is where things get interesting. Because when I look at her now, I can't help thinking about how slowly she started. She took her time getting established. She stayed smaller. She moved at her own pace while some of the other girls seemed to be racing ahead. But now? She's looking like she might be approaching the later part of her journey much faster than her early development would have led us to expect. And that reminds me of her sister. The Big Mama has also been giving us reasons to watch the finishing process closely. Now Pheno B is making me wonder whether we're seeing a similar pattern in a much more compact plant. But let's keep our feet on the ground. A slow start doesn't guarantee a fast finish. And beautiful, frosty flowers don't automatically tell us exactly how much time remains. What we're seeing is a change in her appearance and development that makes the comparison interesting. That's all. We're not going to force a harvest date onto her. We're going to keep observing the flowers, watching the changes, and comparing the photographs from week to week. If she really does turn out to be a fast finisher... we'll document it when the plant gives us enough evidence. Until then? Let's enjoy the show. 😂💜❄️ ──────────────────────── 👭 TWO SISTERS, TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS I absolutely love having these two Purple Haze phenotypes in the same room. Because the contrast is becoming impossible to ignore. 💜 PURPLE HAZE PHENO A — THE BIG MAMA 👑 Larger overall structure. 🌸 Substantial flowering architecture. 💜 A plant that immediately catches your attention across the room. 🧡 Beautiful colour development. 💧 Still giving us plenty to observe about her water consumption and maturity. ❄️ PURPLE HAZE PHENO B — THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN 👑 Compact overall structure. 🌸 Beautifully developing flowers. 💎 A seriously frosty appearance. 💜 A slower start and a different developmental rhythm. ❄️ A flower presentation that's becoming increasingly impressive. Same room. Same general lighting setup. Same overall growing environment. Same grower. And yet... look at the differences! 😂💜 That's the beauty of following individual phenotypes. If we only had one plant, we'd know what that plant looked like. With both sisters, we can see just how differently they can express themselves. One became our Big Mama. The other became our Little Frosty Queen. And neither needs to become the other to be worth celebrating. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE GETTING THEIR OWN SPOTLIGHT One thing I love about this week's photographs is how much attention we can give to the individual flowers. The full-plant shots show us the compact structure. The wider photographs help put her development into context. And then we get to the close-ups... 😂📸💜 That's where she really steals the show. You can see the details in the flowers. You can appreciate their structure. You can see the resin-covered surfaces that give her that frosty appearance. And you can follow the changes compared with the previous weeks. This is why I don't want these diaries to be just a collection of pretty photographs. The photographs are part of the documentation. They let us compare. They let us notice changes we might otherwise forget. And they help us tell the story of each individual plant. Pheno B's story is becoming particularly satisfying because we can look back at those earlier weeks when we were waiting for her to show us more. Now we have a very different-looking chapter in front of us. The girl was never doing nothing. She was developing at her own pace. And now we're seeing more of what that development looks like. 💜❄️🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE PLANT HAS HER OWN PERSONALITY This is something I keep coming back to throughout the 8×8 Adventure. We have twelve plants sharing one room, but we don't have twelve identical responses. Some plants are tall. Some are compact. Some develop quickly. Some take longer to show us what they're capable of. Some have very different flower structures. And some have a visual expression that makes you want to bring the camera closer every time you walk past. 😂📸 Purple Haze Pheno B is one of those plants. She's not trying to dominate the room through size. She's making herself noticed through her own combination of structure and frost. And that's exactly what I want from these individual diaries. Not a competition to decide which plant is the best. Not an attempt to make every phenotype fit the same expectations. Just honest documentation of what each plant is showing us. And this girl? She's showing us something beautiful. ──────────────────────── 📸 MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY — WHEN YOU GET CLOSER, YOU SEE MORE The closer we get with the camera, the more interesting the details become. 😂💎📸 A full-plant photograph gives us the big picture. A flower portrait lets us focus on the structure. A close-up reveals details that are easy to miss when we're looking at the plant from across the room. And with this Purple Haze phenotype, those close-ups are absolutely worth taking. The frost is one of the first things that catches the eye. But there's more to the story than resin alone. There's the way the flowers are developing. The structure of the surrounding leaves. The variation between different flowering sites. And the overall appearance of the plant as she continues through the flowering cycle. That's why I like documenting the same plant over time. We don't have to rely on a single photograph to tell us everything. We build a visual record. And as that record grows, we can better appreciate the differences between one week and the next. The Little Frosty Queen is giving us plenty of reasons to keep the camera ready. 💜❄️📸 ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS — DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION The lighting setup remains part of the same expanded 8×8 environment. We're still using the Future of Grow Black Series LEDs, including the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this project. The previous lighting reference was approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug. ☀️ Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Those figures are our established room reference, not a claim that every point across the canopy receives identical light intensity. The plants have different heights and structures, so their positions relative to the fixtures matter. And that's particularly interesting when we compare these two Purple Haze phenotypes. Pheno A developed into a much larger plant. Pheno B remained more compact while producing a very different visual expression. We're providing a shared lighting environment, but the plants are not identical. Genetics, developmental stage, plant structure, and the wider environment all contribute to what we see. That's the experiment. We're not trying to force twelve plants to become twelve copies. We're observing twelve individual responses. 💜🌿☀️ ──────────────────────── 💡 MORE LIGHTING CAPABILITY — MORE CONTROL One of the things I appreciate about the Future of Grow upgrade is that additional lighting capability doesn't mean we have to operate every fixture at maximum output. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures give us more available capacity and flexibility. We're controlling the output rather than simply chasing the highest possible number. And that matters because the goal isn't just to throw more light into the room. The goal is to create a controlled environment that allows us to observe how the different plants develop. The upper canopy provides one reference point, but the garden is three-dimensional. Plant height, flower position, and canopy structure all affect the light received by different parts of each plant. The Lumiflora lighting also contributes another layer to the overall lighting setup deeper in the canopy. And our Little Frosty Queen is part of that shared environment. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test. Having that additional capability while retaining control over output has been an important part of this project. 💡🌱💜 ──────────────────────── 🔴 THE RED-LIGHT ROUTINE — ANOTHER PART OF THE EXPERIMENT We're also continuing to document the additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. Red and far-red wavelengths can influence plant responses through the phytochrome system, which helps plants interpret their light environment. The outcome depends on the wavelength, intensity, timing, duration, and the rest of the conditions. That's why we're recording this as part of our lighting routine rather than assuming it automatically produces a particular result. With Purple Haze Pheno B, the focus remains on documenting her own development. She's compact. She's increasingly frosty. Her flowers are developing beautifully. And we're watching how her appearance changes over time. We can't attribute those characteristics to the red-light period alone without a suitable comparison. That's an important distinction. The lighting routine is one part of the environment we're documenting, not proof of a specific effect. And that's how I want to approach this experiment: observe first, make claims only when the evidence supports them. 🔴🌿🔬 ──────────────────────── 🔬 A LITTLE LIGHT SCIENCE — THE EMERSON EFFECT Since we're talking about red light, let's revisit the Emerson effect. The Emerson effect describes how photosynthesis can respond more efficiently when suitable red and far-red wavelengths are supplied together under particular experimental conditions. It involves the cooperation between two major components of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis: 🌿 Photosystem II (PSII) 🌿 Photosystem I (PSI) These photosystems have different light-absorption characteristics. Under suitable conditions, combining light that supports both can produce a greater photosynthetic response than would be expected from the individual wavelengths alone. It's a fascinating example of how plant responses to light involve more than simply increasing brightness. But there's an important distinction. The Emerson effect does not mean that every red-light treatment produces the same response, nor does it prove that any particular short red-light routine will increase yield, accelerate flowering, or determine harvest timing. The spectrum, intensity, timing, and experimental conditions all matter. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is something we're documenting in this grow. We're not claiming that it automatically reproduces the Emerson effect. We're recording the routine, observing the plants, and keeping our conclusions grounded in what we can actually see and measure. That's how we keep learning without turning an interesting scientific concept into an unsupported promise. 💡🔬🌱 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION — THE SHARED ROOM APPROACH The previous shared nutrition reference for this stage of the run was: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — around 2.0 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The previously recorded room readings were approximately: ⚗️ pH — around 6.0 ⚡ EC — around 2.05 mS/cm These are the established reference values from the previous reports, not newly verified measurements for this week's update. The wider approach remains consistent with the room's current stage, while we continue observing the plants individually. And Pheno B is a good reminder that a shared nutritional programme doesn't make every plant develop at the same pace. She's still compact. She's showing beautiful flowers. And her frost is becoming one of the most striking features of this phenotype. We don't need to invent a new story around the numbers. We need to keep observing the plant in front of us. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ THE 8×8 ROOM — SHARED CONDITIONS Our previous shared room reference was: 🌸 Flowering — Week 14 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD reference — approximately 1,500 🔌 Future of Grow lighting output — approximately 59% from the plug 🌡️ Day temperature — approximately 26.5–27°C 🌙 Night temperature — approximately 25–26°C 💧 Relative humidity — approximately 60–61% 🌱 Substrate temperature — approximately 25–26°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature — approximately 25°C ⚗️ Previous pH reading — approximately 6.04 ⚡ Previous EC reading — approximately 2.05 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ — approximately 693 ppm 💧 Previous irrigation reference — approximately 1.4–1.45 L per plant / 24 hours 🌱 Pot size — 15 L These are the previously established room references for continuity, rather than a claim that every reading was taken again this week. The key point is that Pheno B continues to develop within the same general environment as the other plants. And yet her expression is entirely her own. 💜🌿❄️ ──────────────────────── 🔬 SAME ROOM — DIFFERENT TIMELINES The 8×8 Adventure keeps teaching us the same lesson. The plants don't read our expectations. 😂🌿 One plant may develop quickly from the beginning. Another may take longer to establish herself. One may become very tall. Another may stay compact. One may catch our attention through size. Another may do it through flower structure and resin expression. Purple Haze Pheno B has taken the slower route. But looking at her now, I'm not thinking about what she failed to become. I'm looking at what she actually is. A compact plant with beautiful flowers and an incredibly frosty appearance. And if she does turn out to be a fast finisher, that will be another interesting part of her individual story. For now, we'll keep watching her development and comparing her progress with the photographs from previous weeks. No competition. No forced expectations. Just twelve plants, one shared room, and twelve individual stories. ──────────────────────── 💬 JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

Very curious. 😂💜❄️ How will those flowers continue to develop? Will her compact structure remain the defining feature of this phenotype? How will the frost and colours evolve? And will our slow starter really become a fast finisher, just like her sister? We'll see. I'm not going to predict an exact harvest date from photographs alone. The appearance of the flowers is one part of the picture, and we'll keep following the changes as they happen. For now, the important thing is that she's continuing to give us something beautiful to document. And after all those weeks of waiting for her to show us more... I am absolutely enjoying this chapter. 💜🌸❄️ ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS — SMALLER PLANT, SERIOUS FROST! Week 14. And our Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us a chapter I absolutely love. 💜❄️👑 She took her time getting started. She stayed smaller than her sister. She developed at her own pace. And now? LOOK AT HER! 😂❄️💎 The frost is beautiful. The flowers are looking fantastic. Her compact structure gives her a completely different character from the Big Mama. And she's showing us that being the smaller sister doesn't mean being any less interesting. In fact, the contrast between the two plants is one of my favourite parts of following them together. Pheno A gives us size and presence. Pheno B gives us compact structure and an incredible frosty appearance. Same genetic family. Same room. Different expression. And both deserve their own spotlight. The possibility that our slow starter might also become a fast finisher is certainly keeping me curious, but we're not going to rush the conclusion. We'll continue observing. We'll keep photographing. We'll compare the changes. And we'll let the plant tell us how her story unfolds. Until then... Keep shining, Little Frosty Queen. Keep showing us those beautiful flowers. Keep doing things your own way. And keep making me bring that camera closer! 😂💜📸❄️ You took your time, girl. But I think we can all agree... you were worth the wait. 💜🌿🌸❄️💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. 💚🌱 Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow two such different expressions from the same genetic family.

Week 17

This strain is amazing. Super frosty and the buds are rock hard. I suggest wait an extra week at the end of flower before harvest. The buds really pack on new large calyx the last week. The First smaller one yielded 3.68 oz including all the sugar leaf trim shown in the sticky note Pic. Second larger pot yielded..... I learned a lesson to use a bigger container for future grows. My smaller plant was small due to the 3gal container. My larger plant was in a 5gal and grew much better. My buds are much larger on the bigger container. I will be using minimum 7gal from now on. Smaller plant I harvested 2 weeks earlier and had 3.68oz dry. Larger plant 2 has wet weight of 630g. I pulled clones from the larger one before flower to test pure organic nutrients and soil I'm am building against advanced nutrients and happy frog soil. New diary to come in the future with the comparison.

04/05/2025 - 84 day Finally harvested😇 both strains smells like a mix of tropical skittles also if they're quite different, Flushed 2 week ago then just watering, very happy with my harvest, waiting summer time for enjoy it, harvest week for dried buds pics in three weeks or one month.

So everything is going well now. She is all healthy and stron. Got her in first week of flower. Only gave her plain water this week. I added the Fluoresent to add some 6500k spectrum to my hps. It really helps and looks good. I got rid of the mini scrog. And decided to go allong with the LST because I wont be able to fill a SCROG.

The heat stress is always a problem in my grows but now I have a new climatization system that can really help me !

Another week down few more to go can't wait!! First ever attempt of growing my own so really impatient to see the final results now and get to the finish line, that said all has went well upto now other than the size they reached haha, really started putting on weight now it seems and they smell lovely, excited to see the buds fatten and progress over these last few weeks up until harvest now, started 5 liberty haze also they are just coming upto 3 weeks now so check that diary out to, any comments info tips for the final stages appreciated

Getting over being locked out due to timer and dripper issues ramping the EC up to 3.8 ! , the size will suffer a bit but hopefully the quality will still be there 🤞

Happy with the color this plant is pushing out 🤩 can’t wait for the day it’s all said and cured 😮‍💨

🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 Hi and welcome to another Kannabia grow! This time I’m running their Apple Fritter (feminized photoperiod). She’s going to veg under 24hr light and be manifolded. Still cleaning the rest of my Candy Cream GF (11.04.25) — going to sow the seed tomorrow (12.04.25) *been lazy, sowed on 14.04.25 🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 --- 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 ❗Events & thoughts worth noting❗ 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 12.04.25 (GW1) – Cleaning + flushing the old coco coir. Might need to add another brick. *No new brick needed ✅ This is how I recycle my coco coir — fast, cheap, no BS. 🌿 Harvest plant ✂️ Chop roots small — they stay in for structure (organic perlite) 💦 Hot water rinse — remove salts & dust 🍶 Pre-soak with light feed:   Micro 10ml   Bloom 0ml   GreenBuzz 10ml   Cal-Mag 60ml   FFJ/FPJ 10ml (new disgusting batch)   pH down (citric acid) ♻️ Media stays — Roots stay — Back in service. 14.04.25 (GW1) – Planted seed in final pot ✅ 16.04.25 (GW1) – Did last tent clean up + setup ✅📸 17.04.25 (GW1) – Seed germinated 🎉📸 — roughly 48hrs in final pot. Solid start👌♥️ 23.04.25 (VW1) – Minimal burnt tips 📸 — not progressing, not a concern. 26.04.25 (VW1) – Started using the new batch of FPJ/FFJ https://growdiaries.com/diaries/266849-grow-journal-by-yan402 30.04.25 (VW2) – Increased TriPartMicro & GreenBuzzBloom 10ml → 15ml 03.05.25 (VW2) – Increased TriPartMicro again 15ml → 20ml, topped the plant, and added final layer of clay pebbles around the base, trimmed side branches and did LST in preparation for "manifold" 📸 08.05.25 VW3 finished manifold📸 13.05.25 VW4 Increased TriPartMicro to 30ml and GreenBuzzBloom to 20ml. 15.05.25 VW4 Done defoliation and LST 📸 18-19.05.25 VW5 pruned all the shoots bellow my "mains" and did a full defoliation📸 24.05.25 VW6 increased GreenBuzzBloom to 30ml 04.06.25 VW7 did a cleanup📸 11.06.25 VW8 increase TriPartMicro to 40ml 17.06.25 (VW9) – Final structure pass 💈🌿 Did a clean perimeter prune + removed weak shoots. Ended up with 12 tops, was aiming for less, but she made the call Didn’t fight it, just shaped it the best I could Airflow’s good, structure’s stable 🛑 No more cuts until post-stretch Pics coming shortly 😘 Flip coming soon — we’ll see how she handles it. 20.06.25 VW9 Switched lighting to 12 hours, may the stretch begin 🤞 22.06.25 VW10 Did a good LST session,made some pics, and came to some conclusions and a small change of plans: Originally planned for 8 mains — long, spaced colas and maybe a couple stronger “titans” if she wanted to go that way. But she’s showing me something else, and I’m not here to fight her — just guide her. Now after stretch, I’m keeping side shoots only if they: Fill real canopy gaps Don’t crowd neighboring tops (minimum 15cm spacing) Aren’t growing into walls or toward the next plant Anything too close, too low, or heading into shade gets removed. No point forcing it. Looks like I’ll finish with 14–16 solid tops, depending on how she settles. I’m just trying to give each one enough light and space to stack properly. No overcrowding, no larf — just letting her do her thing with a bit of structure. Increased Tri Part Micro to 50ml as well. 28.06.25 VW11 one week since I flipped to 12/12 and she is stretching nicely, a bit shy in showing pistils compared to the Fantasy Feast regulars I have in the same tent. 29.06.25 VW11 increased GreenBuzzBloom 30→ 60ml 06.07.25 FW1 TriPart Micro: 50→ 30ml TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20ml Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Watermelon + Pumpkin): 10 → 30ml 12.07.25 FW1 GreenBuzzBloom 60 →40ml, TriPart Bloom: 20 → 60ml, fpj 30→60ml 19.07.25 FW3 Got some bleached tops, been out and about at job interviews and didn't notice a last minute stretch spurt 😭, should recover fine though plenty of time left 😁 22.07.25 FW3 TriPartMicro 30→20ml , TriPartBloom 60→80ml , GreenBuzzBloom 40→50ml 24.07.25 FW3 Cal-Mag 60→40ml 26.07.25 got thrips but handled them with extra airflow and defoliation. 29.07.25 FW4 GreenBuzzBloom 50→20ml, Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch) 60→120ml 31.07.25 FW4 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch) 120→200ml 13.08.25 FW6 CalMag 40 →30ml, GreenBuzzBloom 20→0ml 20.08.25 FW7 TriPartMicro 20→10ml, TriPartBloom 80→0ml, GreenBuzzBloom 0→60ml, CalMag 30→20ml 27.08.25 FW8 GreenBuzzBloom 60→0ml, FinalPartRipen 60ml 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 🌿 Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 23.08.25 FW7 – Fed 2l of #1 → 0.5l runoff 24.08.25 FW8 – Fed 2l of #1 → 0.5l runoff 25.08.25 FW8 – Fed 2l of #1 → 0.5l runoff 26.08.25 FW8 – Fed 2l of #1 at 75% → 0.5l runoff 27.08.25 FW8 – Fed 5l of #1 at 75% → 2l runoff 28.08.25 FW8 – Fed 5l of #1 at 50% → 2l runoff 29.08.25 FW8 – Fed 5l of #1 at 50% → 2l runoff 30.08.25 FW8 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff (*RUNOFF reused for tomato plants) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Nutrients in 30L #1 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 TriPart Micro: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50 → 30 → 20 → 10ml = 0.33 ml/L TriPart Grow: 0 ml = 0.00 ml/L FinalPartRipen: 60ml = 2.00 ml/L TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20 → 60 → 80 → 0ml = 0.00 ml/L GreenBuzz Bloom: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 60 → 40 → 50 → 20 → 0 → 60 → 0ml = 0.00 ml/L Cal-Mag: 60 → 40 → 30 → 20ml = 0.67 ml/L Home-made FFJ/FPJ: 10 → 30 → 60 → 120 → 200ml = 6.67 ml/L pH Down: Citric acid (BuxXtrade) — adjust to ~pH 6.0 📦 TOTAL: 290 ml per 30 L 🔬 9.67 ml/L 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ Tools & equipment ✂️ ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ 2× MarsHydro SP3000 ⚙️ MarsHydro 150mm ACF Ventilator ✂️ Trotec dehumidifier (big unit) ⚙️ Mini no-name dehumidifier ✂️ Kebab skewers (LST – stainless) ⚙️ Wire + roast skewers (LST assist) ✂️ Scissors (HST) ⚙️ Vacuum (for spills & cleanup) ✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ --- 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Apple Fritter (Kannabia Seeds) 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Species: 50% Indica / 50% Sativa Genetics: Sour Apple × Animal Cookies THC: Up to 25% Effect: Euphoric, relaxing, creative Flavor: Sweet, fruity, pastry notes Flowering: 56–63 days Resistance: High Indoor yield: 450–500g/m² Outdoor yield: 600g/plant Structure: Strong, bushy, dense buds
