10 weeks / 70 days old today. Buds are all a bit fatter and a bit frostier this week! They glisten in the light and and are well and truly coated. Noticed a few leaves with brown spots this week and after reading up I decided it could be a calcium deficiency. Gave a cal mag feed and monitored and no more brown spots have appeared. We’re pretty close to the finish line now so not sure I’ve done the right thing or whether I should just let it be. Few more old leaves at the bottom started to yellow so chopped them. Some trichomes are starting to turn milky but majority are still clear. Haven’t bothered with a picture because it’s so hard to get a clear one. Still taking up lots of water and giving 3ml of bloom nutrients in every water. Been reading lots about flushing and I’m not sure whether to do it. Read lots that say if it’s cured properly then there isn’t any difference to the taste. I think half the battle is knowing when to do it. How does a beginner know when you’ve got 2 weeks left?! Been tempted to chop off the popcorn buds and so glad I didn’t. I put some bulbs lower down to give them plenty of light and they’re fattening up pretty well. Bit worried again about the space issue. Lots of new pistils have sprouted and most are around the top buds. Read that it could be foxtailing due to light stress but could also just be buds fattening out and having a last try at pollinating 🤷🏻‍♀️ who knows! Overall another exciting week getting closer to the finish. Booked our summer holiday for August and trying to decide whether to start a new grow when these finish. there’s a risk they might not be done in time but I’m desperate to try again and improve on this one. I have well and truly got the grow bug!!

Week 2 Veg Update: Thriving and Surviving! Hey there, fellow plant pals! It's time for another juicy update on my Anesia phenohunt adventure. Buckle up, 'cause things are getting seriously green around here! First things first – let's talk survivors. Remember our shy friend, Red Banana Pudding #2? Well, against all odds, it's the last one standing, and let me tell you, it's stealing the show! With its tenacity and charm, it's quickly becoming the MVP of this green extravaganza. But hey, let's not forget about the rest of the gang. Future#1, Zoomiez, and Apricot Oreo are all flexing their leafy muscles and reaching for the sky. Each one is a unique masterpiece, showcasing its own personality and potential. It's like having a botanical art gallery right in my grow room! Now, let's talk stats 'cause we love a good data dive. TDS is sitting pretty at 420, temps are a cozy 21 degrees, and pH is a sweet spot at 5.9. It's like Goldilocks and the Three Bears – everything's just right for optimal growth. Feeding time is where the magic happens, and I'm sticking with my trusty Aptus Holland veg mix. This stuff is like plant fuel on steroids, giving my babies the nutrients they need to thrive and shine. From root to leaf, it's a symphony of growth and vitality. Now, let's spread some love and gratitude. Huge shoutout to Anesia Seeds for crafting these genetic wonders. You guys are the wizards behind the curtain, and I'm just grateful to be along for the ride. Big thanks to Grow Diaries for being the stage where this green drama unfolds.

It’s hard to notice the difference when you see it every day. However, when I look at the photos from the previous week, I think there is already a noticeable difference. This strain is very interesting. My first Crystal Meth was completely purple. This plant only has purple stripes on the stems. Let’s see how it will be in the future. It also depends on the temperature.

WEEK 1 - 23/7/2021 - 30/7/2021 My 6th grow! I've managed to finally build a reliable RDWC system. It has been put on hold for nearly a year now. My primary concern is flooding when I'm not around. Another if there is any blackout affecting the water/air pump.  I've had the system on test run for a week now and it has been fantastic. No leak whatsoever! I'm so glad I decided to go with all PVC pipes and bulkheads rather than using vinyl tubing for the waterfall outlet. So far so good! Can't wait to transplant into the system. :) 20/7/2021 - 2 packs  of Harlequin seeds from Weedseedexpress (5 + 1), 12 seeds soaked in 10ml/L of Nitrozyme for the next 24 hours. 21/7/2021 - All 12 seeds transferred to paper towel and soaked with Nitrozyme and placed in humidity dome. 23/7/2021 - Only 5 out of 12 seeds germinated. But all 12 transplanted to small rockwool cubes, soaked with Nitrozyme mix water then placed in humidity dome. I accidentally cut one of the cotyledon while removing the shell. 27/7/2021 - 1L of water mixed with the following: Rapid start - 1ml/gal - 0.3ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 0.5ml 30/7/2021 - It has been a slow start and the seedlings have been showing signs of nutrient burn. Out of 12 seeds only 4 properly germinated and even that is showing issues. I don't have a good feeling about these seed genetics. I'll give another week to see the growth response.

Harvested #2, 40/60 amber to cloudy trichome ratio, couldn't weigh wet 25/10/24 - Harvested #1, 50/50 amber to cloudy trichome ratio Haven't weighed #2 final dry weight yet, still in the process of trimming #2 final dry weight: 273.9g, just under 10 ounces. 02/11/24 - #1 is dry, haven't had time to trim, in jars until I have time. Estimate #1 will yield more then #2 #1 final dry weight: 351.8g, 12.5 ounces 625.7g total off both plants #2 has better bag appeal, smell is very floral and piney. #1 is not as nice looking in appearance but takes the win for smell, has a strong skunk smell, get a whiff of cat piss whenever the jars are opened as well. Was very prevalent in the final week of flower, kept thinking the cats had got into the room and peed somewhere. Overall happy with the results.

Looking great I think pheno one will end up finishing a week early, maybe soon I will start the flush for pheno 1, as far as pheno 1 and 2 I will keep them going until I see more development

In the penultimate week, the buds are dense, resinous, and most of the trichomes are amber. The smell is surreal; I believe this will be a very significant harvest... In these 15 days before harvest, I start watering only with RO water and a pH of 6.2. At the beginning of the last week, and around 3 days before harvest, I flush with RO + Cleanse 10mL.

Day 8, this pheno got a rough start.. Very weak stem, it was flopping way over 90° at the weakest point, so I chose to try to support it with something. All I can do now is hope it survives.

What a major growth spurt this week! Must be loving her new pot and all the lights switched on! She grew 25cm this week! 10 inches! She is the tallest in the tent. But anyway, she is doing her thing this week. Nutrients this time are 20-20-20 NPK powdered fertiliser I'm trying this time around. About 12 grams mixed with 10L of water makes ~1000ppm. My clean water alone is ~300ppm of that. I do have a CO2 bag generator thing... It's not doing a lot though. My CO2 meter reads barely over 400ppm.........

Day 64, 22nd of November 2021: Hi there! Here we go..... so basically pistils are appearing stronger this is the 2nd weeks since they started producing pre flowers. The plants getting a bit light might be some air circulation problem? However they look good and of course closer to the end the gettin' older so the leaves also die. Set up and timing is the same since flower season started. ViparSpectra XS2000 is on full power which is 240W so 100% capacity. Ventilation: 12 hours period when the lamp is on it switches 1 hour on and after one hour off mostly to keep the temperature and of course because of fresh air flow. When the lamp is off it switches on in every 2 hours for 15 min at the same time with the extraction fan. The extraction fan is on 12 hours when the lamp is, and then it switches on in every 2 hours for 30 min. That's all a bit more water for them from today also. Humidity quite the same approx 50%, temperature as well approx 26-27 Celsius. Fertilization remains the same since last week, the BioBizz family raised up to be 2ml/L each so it is like 2ml/L of BioGrow, 2ml/L of BioBloom, 2ml/L of TopMax... see the ratio above. The schedule of the fertilization has not changed happnes 2x a week except epsom salt just 1x a week.

Day 36 - Starting week 6 and she’s starting to blow up. She’s showing a bunch of pistils now so I’m gonna day this is the first week of flower. I went ahead and gave her one last feed of veg nutes and next feeding, I’ll start bloom nutes. My pH pen is recalibrated and checked runoff after the feed and still a little high, 7.1 but nothing like the initial 8.3 it was reading the other day so I’ll lower the pH a bit for next watering and hopefully square everything away. Day 37 - This girl is really taking off with some explosive growth. I didn’t do any LST today and gonna let her go for a bit and see how she starts to develop. She’s gotta get a little more stretching going on and might continue some more. Day 38 - This girl is blowing up and looking great. Going to hold off on anymore LST for awhile so she can get a bit of vertical growth going on and hopefully by the time she’s ready for more, I’ll have one girl in the tent ready for harvest so I’ll have more room to spread her out. She’ll get some water in the next day or two. Day 39 - She’s still exploding with growth right now but not really into full flower mode yet but throwing more pistils each day. Will be giving her some water tomorrow. Day 40 - All is Loki g great and it’s looking like this is going to be a very big girl. She was thirsty today so gave her a full 1 1/4 gallon of plain pH’d water without cal-mag and pH’d to 6.4. I added a second 1000W LED light to the tent for now to give this girl and my other some more light since my bigger two are taking up some space. Once those two are harvested I’ll cut back to just one because my normal 76 degree temps are up to 81 now. Day 41 - Almost the end of week 6 and damn this girl is just blowing up. Will be harvesting my Blue Dream soon so it will open up some soace for her to really go. Next feeding I’ll give her her first feeding of bloom nutes, plribably sometime this weekend.

¡Hola, amigos! Week 12 is here, and my tent has developed a truly intense aroma. Just ten minutes of airing it out, and my entire apartment is infused with its delightful scent. In Week 5 of flowering, I treated them to a revitalizing compost tea, hoping they'll bulk up beautifully. Trichomes are absolutely everywhere, even on the sugar leaves, glistening like tiny crystals. Other than that, it’s just another week of patient waiting. Day81: Almost everything is fine; a couple of the lower leaves have turned slightly yellow. In week six, I’ll start giving them 50% of the recommended amount of Fish-Mix and Heaven by Biobizz, observing how they respond.

(Have been thinking about it, decided to just do both runts under one diary and just using the Green Sensation on them both. Had only used growdots on the other one, but will be bringing the other runtz into this diary aswell) Beginning to add the Green Sensation nutrients this week. Really curious to see how she looks in the next 2 weeks now that its being added!. But these Runtz are growing well, looks great to me so far nothing crazy , bit different pheno then my other grow but I'm happy with both .. Can't wait to see how they flower fully. Not much else was done, I do regret not training but wanted to let it do its thing , didn't have the space for anything big (I never go for massive, one of these days I'll veg longer tho just for the experience of it) Had cut off a handful of leaves that were laying on each other. Did alil form of lollipoping but not extreme. And only plan besides Green Bay is the Recharge will also be used 1x weekly. Lights are currently around 32 DLI roughly 700/750ppfd off the top of my head. I'm thinking around 40 I may push to peak but we will see, no added CO2 besides environmental atleast its above 500 pretty steady raises to 8/900 amd alil higher when I'm in talkin shit to them. The water input is picking up in frequency aswell. Watering every other day still due to how cold it is they are drinking slow but their just about 3/4s of a gallon currently.. Temps have been way lower this run then I really wanted just last heater I had decides to quit on me.. big area so tough to replace that thing and of course it was just out of warranty lol by 2 months. The one is getting some purples on it this one's pretty light green , ec is in range after a quick lil media test, had been curious if she was hungry so decide to check did alil runoff when watered prior to feeding the plagron. Ec was fine and PH was alil low so bringing that up as I feed. Besides that tho , their smelling really sweet.. literally like a pack of runtz already ...anxious to get to smoke some of my first try at a runtz plant! As always I appreciate everyone's time checking these things out.. thanks for your support and encouragement. And another big thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for throwing this together!! Been a fun contest so far.. Beans: https://www.zamnesia.com/uk/ https://www.zamnesia.com/us/
