Welcome to my Black Jack b sponsored by Sweet Seeds 2 yrs ago nearly. Veg Weeks & Pre/Post Pre Flower Weeks 7-9 She was really healthy during her entire veg period. Moving into pre flower she didn't do any excess stretching. Plant was doing very well moving into pre flower it took a good few weeks for her to flip but it was building up a good base up and down the nodes. I used plagron right through half of flowering possibly more. For the last 4 weeks I moved all my plants to Xpert Nutrients. MAINTENANCE I carried out a good bit of work making sure all parts of her was getting light (as much as she didn't get, it was more then enough to get A grade bud just like it was done under a 100w). I stripped a lot of shoots coming into & during pre fower. So when coming in to fattening all her energy went into making buds that were brought to harvest. Knowing light would be an Issue (lack off) i made sure to use all my skills to move energy through a plant. After pre fower was over (plants nodes stop growing up) and I left her a few days for the leaves to take in energy building stigmata. Then I done 10-15% defoliations for mid wk into fattening and beyond until I felt was enough removed (3-4 stages). Now on her last few days I took loads of leaves off to help ripening. She's 95% cloudy and 15% or so Amber. I had to give 10l of water to flush the nutes I had given her. 4l was given and ppm was 650. So I had to give another 6L to get the ppm down to 250 area. 3 days its been under light for 11hrs with 30m of UV-A doses from 65cm away (they are attached to my light IR/UV45) FLOWERING/RIPENING WEEKS Plant moved very nicely through fattening. Buds are lots but whets there is pretty darn good for been at the side of a FC3000 300w light in a 1m2 tent doing many other plants. And this been by far been under the best part of it. It sat on the outskirts as this fem is one of my 1st 5 I started together with 7 autos in phase 1 of my 6 phase crop with 10-15 plants per phase. Took (NUMBER 4 this 1 is). 14 weeks from seed. And she's been through a hard flush. As the last 4.5 weeks she's been on Xpert Nutrients. NUTRIENT GIVEN So I know tats a large list. But as I updated my a lot of weeks into 1. I left on the list what was given. All of plagron was given through most of the grow right through to the middle of fattening and then I switched it (all my plants to Xpert Nutrients bloom nutes). And even then, I normally give more than 2-3 nutrients in 1 feeding 2-3 day window. Its important tat a plant take up these as individual so I typically leave a few days or at least 1-2 water feeds (or low ec feeds such as an enzyme, or calmag to help break down any excess nutrients left behind from last feed) I added my SE5000 and have this 60+cm away just finish off the ripening process. Pant has a good amount of bud. And really like this breeder. What have I been missing out on Sweet Seeds both plants are dreams to grow. Thanks to my sponsors. Xpert Nutrients have given me a gift for you guys. !!DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS!! CODE FOR 15% OFF & FREE SHIPPING IN EU:GGST !!DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS!! Much appreciation to Sweet Seeds. Seeds are nearly 2yrs old. I've had them for nearly all that time. They were packaged within a month of me getting them. Shout out to Mars-Hydro for their FC3000 & IR/UC45. Had to break out my SE5000 as nice as this plant is its needs fell short been in a tent with 15 other plants. My se5000 is giving 55k lux (that's the lowest level BTW in my corners I just about got that mid field using my 300w.)

Hello Folks 😎 7th week of flowering,I'm really amazed by these girls ! They are very productive, the smell is powerful, and look at the size of these colas ! 💪 They drink 4/5 liters every 5/6 days, for the last watering with fertilizer, I reduced the dose about 650 ppm my plan is to start the flush from day 50 until day 65 and from there, I'll see if I have to push a few more days while checking the color of the trichomes I think I'm going to enjoy this strain, already like the smell a lot 😻 Follow, like and comment if you enjoy it I also have a second diary with 2 Remo Chemo Peace Love & Weed 😍👊

Filling in the trellis quite nicely the smaller girls seems to be trying so hard to catch up the the larger/bushier one. But they both seem to be doing well!! Sprayed for bugs again to be preventative and added more ladybugs. Expecting a ton of growth in the next week or two for a final stretch but the smell seems to be getting more intense. I can’t wait to see how these girls turn out versus my buddies who I got them from. Seems like there’s always a slight difference. Have fun y’all and happy smoking!!

So a whole lot has happened in the last 2 weeks. My main goal has been setting up for season 3 outdoors in my new garden where I will test my theory. I went a little hard on the plant ferment I made and have been feeding because the Whiskey Zulu and the Girl Crush because have a few spots on some leaves so I guess they might've briefly locked up a little. No problem with the Ogreberry though. The Whiskey Zulu smells like purp—like GDP, the Ogreberry smells like fruitloops with some funk and a little like Northern Lights. The Girl crush smells like a sweet diesel og—and I've just switched her over to 12/12 not long ago. For season 3: I've ordered seeds from DDA who owns Boneyard Seeds Norcal on Dagga.garden please check him out before it's 2 late. Please checkout his fantastic selection of cultivars. He goes by Mr. Toad on youtube if you have any questions. The man is a fantastic breeder and educator. [With my order of Roberts Creek Congo × Space Cheese seeds he sent 10 free The Ghost of Toadally Haze and 7 of a cbd/cbg strain for breeding called Holy Ogre. In the package was also brown rice ocb papers, a soil inoculent, boveda packs, terploc curing bag, stickers, and arugula seeds.] I met DDA through a future cannabis project live, he was in he comments spreading killer knowledge and I asked him a few questions about my ideas and he educated me for a long ass time simply because he's all about it. That's a breeder whose genetics I want in my garden, (and then he sent me all the freebies without even knowing me.) The man will have my buisness for as long as he's selling seeds because he values education and fosting the next generation of growers. He gave me some tips about rooting clones and now I've rooted my 1st clone for this next season. I think the temperature wasnt consistent enough before... I've started 3 Roberts Creek Congo × Space Cheese and they all popped within 14 hours with a 100% success rate. DDA — look him up.

18/10 - comienza su quinta semana en etapa de floracion. Su evolución fue muy rapida, apenas entro en flora cambio totalmente la planta. Los cocos están perfectos, super resinosos con olor muy fuerte. El banco de semillas recomienda que este en flora de 8 a 9 semanas. Seguramente la deje hasta la semana 8. Esta bastante avanzada. No tuve problemas en ninguna etapa. Sin dudas es una genetica que volvera a cultivar. Cabe aclarar que esta planta genera mucha resina por que es ideal para extracciones.

Day 32 - 12/01/20 Everythings going fine for the Pineapple Express 🍍 I swapped out the bungee cords holding my grow light for rope rachets today. it wasnt hanging level so i still needed to use the bungee cords but the light is much higher now to accommodate the height of this monster! current height is 46cm which is about 18 inches. Im feeding with my normal Canna and Vitalink schedule and watering with just phed water a lot too. they drink so much when in the proper temperature range and healthy! Nothing much to report other than that although i think im gonna invest in some more bud boosters and terpene boosters as im struggling to get a huge flavour from my buds. its noticable and its there after curing, each strain i have grown has its own unique flavour and smell but it just hasnt been potent enough for me yet. possibly due to my previous strain choices. anyways thats why im growing more fruity and higher thc strains. also for the medical benefit, the 1:1 THC/CBD weed was good as a supplemental medical weed i found that i still needed a high thc strain as a base to stay pain free and stoned. and the lower thc varieties ive tried are nice but just arent strong enough for a heavy smoker like me to relieve pain and help me sleep. Il update later in the week, and apologies again for not updating the diaries as much ad i usually do, ive been quite busy over the new year! Happy growing folks!

Good weather here. The branches that show advanced signs of multiple nutes deficiencies (N + K) are almost ripen, I consider this as phisiologic signs of age, the others are perfectly normal but immature. Maybe this is due to the rose roots near the plant that are sucking nutrients. As she has lost apical dominance the buds are very omogeneus, big, fat, frosty. Lots of thin pistils. Found 4 little spots of bud rot promptly removed. This issue is related only to the partially shaded side of the plant til now, not good. Gotta lay with her for the next week, divorce is around the corner. Mayor defoliation on Sunday. Last nutrients on Monday. Now the whole sun is for her but only for three days, ripen or not I'll crop her the next Sunday as a rainy and cold week is coming and this fucking plant is prone to bud rot and couldn't survive under the tent. Damned plant. I have no more room to dry weed, everything in my home smell of weed, my family too. Special Kush is still drying...

Hello Growmies! 🌿👋 Welcome to Week 17 of our Epic Buzz journey! We're observing some noticeable progression in our plants, and we're nearly at the finish line with the next entry poised to be our final harvest week! Here’s the breakdown for our Epic Buzz phenotypes: Pheno #1 is thriving with its buds thickening up nicely, showcasing a frosty appearance that promises high-quality resin production. Pheno #2 remains a bit smaller in comparison, yet it's catching up with an increase in bud density and trichome development. Pheno #3 stands out with its robust growth and resin-packed buds that are slightly ahead in terms of maturity compared to its siblings. As we approach the harvest, maintaining optimal environmental conditions—consistent humidity and temperature—is more crucial than ever to maximize their potential. Stay tuned for our final week's update, and as always, stay lifted! 🚀🌱

the weather in my part of germany is really bad for this summer at the moment. it's raining too much. i've put them in a dry place to prevent mould from forming. maybe they're not getting as much fertiliser. they'll get one more week and then they'll be harvested.

I went for a little defoliation on this couple of ladies, taking off some fan big leafs, I think this ladies are going to produce some really god flowrs, I'm always amazed by this genetic, the aroma it's extremely pleasant, very fruity stinky and tropical, I have harvested a haze berry a few weeks ago which you can check on my page, really excited to have this couple of haze berry by royal queen seeds, let's see how they perform! Stay tuned everybody! 💚❤️👨‍🌾

welcome to Week 15 of our Lego Ninja Tropical Tangie Run. This week was a bit of a rollercoaster as we faced some high temperatures. Our resilient Tangie made it through, though her leaves took on an interesting appearance. But don't fret; the buds remain unaffected and continue to dazzle. She's as frosty as ever, a true beauty to behold. For the sake of our full-time lapse project, I've decided to let things ride as they are. We've captured it all, from the ups to the downs, showing the unfiltered journey of this incredible plant. In the garden, my Tangie's pH levels are at a steady 6.2, and her TDS hovers around 490. The water temperature stays at a comfortable 20°C. Sharing a bit of moon magic, I've included some photos of the recent full moon. It was an enchanting and blessed sight to behold. As always, my medicine is shared not only with my Tangie but also with my faithful guardians, the Lego Ninjas. They've been by my side throughout, offering their silent wisdom and unwavering support. I've also been experimenting with my cameras, exploring different perspectives and colors to capture the essence of this journey. It's incredible how small adjustments can reveal the hidden beauty of our botanical companion. I must extend my heartfelt shout-outs: to Dutch Passion for their exceptional genetics, to Aptus Holland, my valued sponsor, for their incredible support, and to Grow Diaries, the platform that allows us to share this adventure. And a special thank you to our amazing community. Your encouragement, insights, and camaraderie are deeply appreciated. It's your support that keeps this journey thriving. As we venture into the next week, I'm excited to see what awaits. Thank you for being part of this botanical odyssey. Until next time, fellow gardeners and enthusiasts. #TropicalTangie #Week15 #BotanicalJourney #FullMoonMagic #GrowDiariesCommunity #AptusHolland #DutchPassion #LegoNinjas As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience With true love comes happiness <3 <3 <3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only <3 <3 <3 Growers Love To you All <3 <3 <3 P.S- I must extend my sincerest apologies for the missing video reports. Regrettably, Grow Diaries is still facing some technical issues that are preventing me from uploading them.

5/10 Got up super early for wife's appointment at 7 came home and transplanted 4 of the purple punches. Transplants went good. Soil was too dry and a couple fell right in the hole but I was messing around showing my dad. It just got dropped in the hole a little harder lol. The other that happened to is fine though. Definitely make sure your soil is moist enough before transplanting. My transplanting technique for 3 gallon is to put soil on bottom. Set cup in at appropriate distance then replace cup with plant with soil filled cup and fill around it. Leaves the perfect hole. Then you just snip the cups twice on each side, peel it down and fold the cup down and cradle the bottom and in the hole it goes! Holes have mykoscand a little like water. I water a little after transplant. I misted soil whole mixing it up. 5/11 Dad left the windows open last night "because the soil smell was bothering Lynda." I couldn't ficking believe it. They were all fine when I got back but still. Everything is transplanted into 3 gallon containers bit that 1 purple punch that is a little bit dwarfed. I looked at the bottom of the cup and drainage wasn't as good. Must've been the last cup and the jail didn't go all the way through in a couple places. I increased the drainage on that little dwarf and I'll transplant it when I get time. We are going to have some good weather coming up. I need to get my cage moved, my bags sanitized and get on a good watering routine. UPDATE: Went back over at four and everything's dry as fuck but the leaves are uo and every one of them looks happy so I'm holding off watering. I'll start with a quart probably tomorrow. Also cleaned out tge cage and secured the handles to move it. Only thing left is cleaning and sanitizing. These girls have a south facing window and they LOVE it. It was 80 today. I hope we have an early season. 5/12 Transplanted the last purple punch today. I could easily tell the problem was drainage. It was the last cup I had stacked when I drove the nail threw so it didn't pierce all the way the the other slips and tac holes apparently weren't enough. Used mykos and same soil mixture. Soil was extremely dry. I lifted a pot with dry soil and these were heavier. Commercial buddy said to start with a quart a pliant and see how it goes but I kind pussed out and only gave them 24fl 0z a plant. Half the quart. I asked if I should water more and he said to just wait and see how they like this water and up it to a quart next time maybe quart and a half. Im just leery of overwatering. When i watered SOME of them the water literally just sat there and took forever to absorb. Plants werent wilting though. Soon theyll be going outside during the day and in mdoors at night. UPDATE: Went back over at two and everything looks AMAZING. Healthiest looking plants I've grown. Leaves all pointed up. I'm taking my commercial dudes advice and hoping the water next watering. For now, they're doing amazing. 5/13 Everything is doing greatcso far. Gotta figure out when to start nutes. Considering adding silica but don't want to raise ph to much. I'll consult with others but my the soil blend I'm using is full of nutes. 5/14 Rushed morning and I wanted to water bit the plants looked great still. Sticking my hands deeper I can feel a little moisture deeper down or in the drain holes so I decided to give the blueberry cheese and the 10th planet a "touch of kindness" which was a small circle of water from a small watering can around the outside edge of whete the rootball should lid be. I'm working on getting a watering g schedule down. UPDATE: Went back over at five and everything was looking good with leaves praying. Maybe my half measure helped. Doubtful but still. Tomorrow I plan to water. Since the soil has tons of nites ill probably hold off a little while longer before starting the nutrient schedule. I want to make sure I've got the watering down first. One thing at a time. 5/15 The 10th planet and Blueberry Cheesecgot their first REAL watering since transplant. Still being cautious I watered 28fl Oz a plant. I phed the water with an indicator solution and ph down. I gave the purple punches a "cup of kindness" which was a circle of water around the transplant hole. Can't waif to get a watering schedule down. I wanted to start nutes but my soil is full of them and i believe it's too early. I didn't see ANY run off from this watering. I think that's good as I'm not looking to wash away the nutes in the expensive soil I use. I need to start HST as well but I'm doing things proper and "one at a time". That way if I run into a problem I'll know what I did and how to rectify it. At least I hope. UPDATE: Went back over at 3 leary that I may have "overwatered" but the plants ALL looked AMAZING and had shot up like an inch! Looking into hst and will probable fim a few. Top a few and leave one to grow naturally. Can't wait to see how these girls do outside. 5/16 Wow. Just wow. Plants are doing phenomenal! Since the watering went really well I watered the purple punch bit I only used about 16fl Oz as the plants were a little smaller than the others. I'll up it to a quart next time like I did with the others. I want to USE the nutes in my soil so im not washing them all away by watering to run off. I topped 2 10th planet's and FIMed one of them. I want to see how the respond then I'll begin training the others. Off to a Great Start! 5/17 Glad I held off watering. It's raining today. Just showers. We haven't gotten any of that extreme wind we usually do. I have the plants supported but I still worry. Definitely more than I should. Plants are still doing good and acclikatimg to their new homes.

My first Mephisto run, got a new tent, light, and humidifier from me for Xmas. I started 2 seeds in paper towel in a cd case wrapped in a tshirt in the basement. 1 popped 2 days later, the other split still hasn’t really popped so I stuck it in a plug in a solo cup. I got pissed one night after it didn’t pop when I was drinking, so I started the single Dutch Passion®️Banana Blaze seed I had, it popped and went into a rapid rooter in the new tent 1/5/22. Mephisto Genetics®️Double grape 🍇 (which I’m calling Henrietta) went to her forever 3 gallon fabric pot with the bottom 1/3 FFOF, and the top 2/3 FFHF with a 2 liter greenhouse dome on 1/06/22. Welcome to this world lil lady!
