Day 61. Realized my ph was sitting over 8.5 out of the tap. Got the water dialed in finally. She’s bulking and turning amber. I love her. She’s beautiful and stinky. I can’t wait to see how she finishes.

Week 6 Dec. 9 - Dec. 15, 2019 Dec. 11, 2019 They were moved into the tent late in week 5. They took a couple of days to get back to normal... had some drooping leaves for a couple of days... ended up raising the light to 24", it started out at 18". Continued to LST and some defoliating. Late last week I broke the main stem of ZK #3 attempting to train it toward the edge of the pot. It was hanging by a thread... freaked the hell out, grabbed the closest tape to me, you'll see that in the pic lol. It was a metal tape for duct work hehe. Noticing as the babys get further into flower they are getting THIRSTY, I'm up to watering them about .5 gallon a day. You'll see in the pics I LST'd 2 plants the same and one differently. Regarding this strain I'm not sure what method a working better.

Week five has ended theyre plain sailing now enjoying the whole process two phenos are showing some hairs turning a vibrant orange and some purple colours starting to creep up in the leaves .... humidity is a bit high in the tent of late so I might do some defoliation to bring it down a bit ..... plants seem to be loving the whole environment tho Smells are starting to come through a lot better and a range from lime to fuel mash up some got just pure gas aswell with nothing else still waiting for some garlicky smells but none yet happy growing

This is around the 4 week mark when I change light schedule to 12-12

Día 69, 21 de flor. Foto 1 pre-peluquero Foto 2 y 3 post-peluquero Vídeo #MerryBerry Así va la cosa chavalitris! Se llevan el último arreglo ya en flor, a ver si las engañamos y engordan más de la cuenta Toca riego en todas menos Gorila, que va unos días más lenta, y aún no tiene esa sed. Favoritas de momento: La #MerryBerry 3 huele muy muy diferente. No la he acabado y creo que ya quiero repetirla 😅 Cultivo fácil, estructura, mucha resina. También top la #BlueberryMuffins 1 apuntando buena estructura, producción y resina! La #weddingcake 2 y 3 mejoraron tras la apical y en Stretch juntaron nudo, 2 con con más resina. La #ChocolateMintOg 1 solo es porra principal, pero parece tirar bien de resina. La #Gorilla está por ver, pero también tiene un olor peculiar desde hace semanas.

Super sticky and super dense flowers ,started flushing now for the next 2 weeks

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.

Not an awful week, not great though. I seem to have developed a fungus gnat issue, albeit small as of yet I'm taking appropriate measures to get rid of them. First I drenched all the pots with a 1:4 peroxide:water mixture(1l total liquid) and let the soil dry out over a few days(it was already fairly dry). Once that dried I added nematodes to each pot. I've given the nematodes 4 days so far and I'm adding defender mites(stratiolaelaps scimitus) to the soil tomorrow. I have yellow traps everywhere as well. I'm also getting rid of my wood chips(most of them) for the rest of this grow for a faster drying time on my soil. I'm really happy how the freak has been turning out. I'm super excited to try it! Happy growing folks!

Day 42 Update : Well folks , we are getting towards a finish now. The FFT #8 is still a bud on a stick style so we won't visit that one at all !!. FFT#9 Is now pushing some very nice trichromes out throughout her many mains. The bud structures are solid on her and she jas somewhere nice long colas stacks that are fattening up daily now. She is in her budswell stage now and has a beautiful fruity smell oozing from her. She is starting tonget some nice pinky colour appearing deep in the bud too which makes them look very nice FFT#10 Looks like she is trying to escape with her main stem off tonthe side looking for the sp250. Her buds are also rock solid with a really candy sweet smell She is nice and dark again since I have been adding the megacrop and shogun products and her stack girth indicates she will be a nice yield come harvest. Another 2 winner strains from this range nice work Fastbuds. Now we need to know who they are. lol

We're having a big freeze in the state and they are asking us to conserve electricity, so I didn't add extra heat to the grow room. Plants still expanding though, so this is the last week of vegetation. The ScrOG is almost full, so I expect it will fill in during the first couple weeks of flower. Changed the lighting to 12/12 on Day 48. Bought the Clone Master 25 to take clones of these 3 plants before they shift to flower. Took 3 snips of the 3 different strains. Going to play with clones a bit.

As you can see, these girls are looking good they are growing and you may see more than you know of. I got one from a buddy who said he did not know what he was doing after about a month and a half so I said give her here I’ll take her.

We had some days of hanging leaves after placing them in new pots, probably root stress. After some days they recovered and now they are doing well in their new homes 🌱✨

** video in 2 parts Sweet and sour showing interesting gold color on her leaves and some curled tips so i flushed her with canna flush and will dry her for a few days.. i dont know whats the provlem except the cold nights for the last few days. Would like to hear opinions.. Grapefruit from dinafem is amazing smell - very fruity and sweet.. Sweet and sour and spliffs strawberry share almost the same smell but sweet and sour is more hubba bubba chewing gum, intensive sweetnes... Remo chemo still no distincitve smell, just sweet.. amazing trichome production. Ayahuasca isnt purple and smells like a bag of nuts and petroleum. Very odd i am afraid i wont like.her...

11/3 - Today is technically the first day of Week 5 and also the first day I could see a visible drop in her water level since her last check-in (~12 hours apart). As a result, her ppms shot up to around 800. I diluted the solution with straight tap (7.5pH, 170ppm) since her pH was registering around 5.3. This brought her up to 5.6pH and 670ppm (1.0ec + tap, 500ppm of nutrients). I would have liked to adjust her pH more, but the water level ended up at the bottom of the basket. I'll adjust further as necessary. The other day while attempting to LST her top branches, they ended up snapping off, so I just topped her down one node and broadened her other LST to make her as squat as possible. Once I am able to find a suitable individual ScrOG screen, I will put it on her. 11/4 - I wasn't even planning on doing an update today, but I want to note a few changes. The first of which is a visible difference between her foliage density in a span of 36 hours. Her root bundle is over a foot long and getting more wound up every day. I removed her LST ties in order to take advantage of the ScrOG screen apparatus (see notes below). After lights came back on, she measured 645ppm and had another notable drop in water level. Currently, I am preparing another nutrient solution that closely matches what she is feeding on now. I will be upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket. I will be aiming for 1ec of nutrients/additives (500ppm + Tap on my meter, Hanna Primo .5 conversion). Tap measured 180ppm, so target ppm would be 680. Later that same day... So I finished upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket before I actually got done writing the update. Added one photo showing new 5 gallon setup. Solo ScrOG test mk1 - In an attempt to do a ScrOG, but maintain control over each bucket, while still having relatively easy access to each reservoir, I decided to throw together this little contraption. I removed the lowest complete segment of a tomato cage, leaving a short "tail" beyond the lower ring to act as a peg to insert into corresponding holes in the lid. The lower ring is 10" in diameter and the upper is approximately 12" in diameter. Each ring is 11" apart. I would prefer to have a shorter segment, but I haven't worked out exactly how to do this yet. I would prefer to set the screen height at around 6" above the bucket instead of 11". This will have to suffice for the time being while I let my latent conscious work out a solution or one is provided by the community. Above each cage will sit a coated wire fence with grids measuring ~2"x3", as shown in the above picture. 11/5 - Uploaded short video showing Solo ScrOG Apparatus in place. Screen height currently set to 6". Thanks for stopping by my garden, and, as always, Happy Growing!

When talking about strains of recent times but already legendary and ready to enter the history of Cannabis, Permanent Marker is a name that cannot be missed. It is very famous and many have produced it, we will show you that it is worth growing the one produced by Zamnesia. In reality, the beautiful seed pack alone would be worth the purchase but we do not stop at appearances and we will show you that that artistic marvel corresponds to a marvel of nature. 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 worked with the Main lining. Being a plant with medium-low internodal distance it was not very easy to work with but especially in the second phase of the main lining (when these plants become a little bigger and you can work better) I am having a lot of fun. The plant is looking very good, I have done a lot of topping and I am sure that now that it is going into flowering we will see some beautiful things. Slow down the use of nitrogen during this technique, you may not need everything that is recommended by the manufacturers. So, if the leaves become too dark or, worse, the tips of the leaves arch downwards and the leaf becomes "crunchy", it is time to lighten or stop the basic fertilizer. Comparison is the salt of experience, so the plant in the other diary will be treated very differently, go and see it to compare. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 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 fertilize with: 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Grow We sprayed 3 ml/l Vita Race foliar fertilizer once a week. https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent mycorrhizae from RQS flowing in the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrize-easy-roots.html Try this variety, it is a top strain of recent years very high level of thc ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/12508-zamnesia-seeds-permanent-marker.html Brief description of Zamnesia // Here is a good opportunity to enrich your genetic library with another award-winning variety: Permanent Marker was crowned Strain of the Year 2023 by Leafly, thanks to its intense aromas, high levels of THC and its physical vivacity. Originally created by JBeezy and Seed Junky Genetics, our team managed to secure a cutting of this modern top cultivar, so you can grow it comfortably at home, whether indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse. Permanent Marker fits perfectly in any environment! The whole world of growing and more is at Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. -- // www.zamnesia.com

Things going well so far (fingers crossed) I did have a slight problem with a tray and it's pump. Hence why 2 plants smaller then the other 2. However have fixed that (put a new pump in) will keep an eye on them over next couple days..

Using mega crop nutrients only just started lst what do y’all think? Any suggestions?
