The plans are showing 3 different height the tallest one was the one that I did less training on and the other two I did fairly the same amount of training I believe that one of them it's not growing very fast compared to The other two because they're showing some form of sign of nitrogen deficiency so i will increase the nitrogen for the next week the heights are like this: 30 inch 22 inch 14.25 inch The shortest plant seems to be stretching now a little bit more comparative to two days ago before increasing the feed of nitrogen I don't think I will use this type of soil again just because I don't see the plants responding as well as the time that I use soil with 30% of Coco in it definitely that combination the plans and The Roots seem to thrive very good with it now I'm using soilless Pro mix pH and I'm not too in love with it. Also the plans have a very strong cheese skunk smell not overpowering just really nice. Day 45 today I feed my plants solution a little bit heavy on the nitrogen today in order to try to flush out any build-up salt that could be causing a lockout or simply just i haven't water enough because I don't like pouring too much water on to them to avoid actually run out ( is always a lot of work and very messy). Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Plans this week: new bluelab guardian connect coming (ph/ec/temp monitor for the reservoir tank) I think I’ll finally mount things neatly on the wall. More pruning the lower canopy; and some low stress training maybe. I hope the flowers keep maturing and start really gaining some girth this week. I’m excited and hopeful but a bit scared of the pk booster and overall nutrient level/EC increase - I’ll keep watch for nutrient lockout etc. Other: Utility sink/drain/water line install I hope. This grow is taking up all my “project time” - Hopefully I can finally spend some time on my arcade cabinet project starting this week. The plants didn’t get light for 37 hours the other day (6/23?) . I had removed the lights to build the frame. I thought I had everything ready for a quick swap. And then I got sick; daughter’s car broke down; my plan for the light frame wouldn’t work; I ran out of angle aluminum; and did I mention I got sick. Anyway they missed only one 12 hour light period plus 1 extra hour (plus their normal dark periods before and after- so that’s how I calculate 37 hours) They actually seemed to mature and redden a bit faster with the extra darkness. Gotta think positive. Upgraded the tent! (6/24/19) It’s now a hydropolis 3x3 “plus size” (extra few inches bigger all around and 8 inches taller than my old vivosun) - much nicer. Wow what a tough job. Very tight space in my room. This is way too late to be moving plants to a new tent - but sliding the old removable tent bottom with all four plants and scrog all at once over to the new tent wasn’t as bad as I feared. Setting up the whole tent again and moving everything was a pain in the ass though. I did a little pruning of the back side of the plants which I hadn’t gotten to in a while - some dead leaves under the scrog mostly. I wonder if all this trim (from recent days too) is gonna yield any amount of even sorta decent bubble hash. I’ll freeze it and try. I hope they like their new home. I did a lot of the swap and setup with the lights totally off in my basement and using only a green headlamp. Argh. I partially failed in my effort to make a complete aluminum frame. I didn’t include the 4 solstix in the frame. But I did make a frame for the two HLG 135s - I re-hung the solstix individually and with their lame individual drivers that are underpowered (I’ll get to the the rewiring and driver replacement one of these days)- I added the far red puck, and I finally added the new HLG QB36 UVA (I’ll try it for the first time tomorrow - with sunglasses on!) - update: tried it. Seems pretty sweet - wish I had some directions or some idea if I should only be using only one stick like I am or the entire 4 that I think they sent me in error. I’ve got a reasonable amount of space between my lights and top of canopy now (15+ inches) - if the damn stretch is finally done I might be ok. I really shoulda flipped sooner like everyone warned me. Live and learn. The utility sink/drain line/water line is still not installed - so I’m still carrying water up and down stairs which sucks. I’ll use pk13/14 this week after this rez tank empties and I give it a good cleaning in a day or so. I’ll also continue to use mammoth p and all the other nutes. - ok tank cleaned and making a new soup for feeding later today (pk 13/14 started on 6/25/19 11:30pm - I plan to use it for 7 days??) I changed the drain/waste bucket to a small bin - and placed it inside the tent — it works well with the condensate pump- so tomorrow I’ll drill holes in it, install grommets and run the drain lines to it permanently - which will be much better than the 5 gallon bucket sitting outside the tent in my small space - plus the gravity drain lines were a pain coming out of the tent and I had to weigh them down to keep their height below 2.5” - now it’ll be just one pumped line. - ok done. I drilled a bit too fast and cracked two of the holes. Siliconed it for now- I’ll replace the little bucket this week or next - it’s fine for now. (6/25/19) So much better! - now no more gallons of water weighing down the drain lines and no more drain lines coming out of the tent - except for the single pumped line that goes out the standard tent hole. And so much neater in the tent etc. Woot!

Hola amigos, comenzando la 3 semana de las nenas fueron regadas con top veg. Les comento que la luminaria utilizada es de una marca chilena, de 200w y tiene 2 chips led cob y 2 chips led 3500k.

Absolutely growing the red Pheno again. Very strong! Great citrus 🍊 smell. Taste is great not super dense but I’ll try and see if I can fix that next round

10/31 Week 11 Still building The clones have done well their strength builds Heh no changes to nuets at this time like where they are 11/1 Shifting their light turn on time one hour due to the silly time change so extra hour dark tonight. 11/2 Took the time change just fine on a 7-7 schedule. Looking at two weeks till first finish on the FF9 followed by the FF11 the next week and finish with FF10 following. More a question of dry space cant dry more than a couple safely at a time given humidity is unstable this time of year swinging from 30% to 90% depending on weather. Not sure how we will handle the finish, will tell more after we see what happens with the Green Poison grow that harvests a week earlier. Removed Soul Peak PK for the time being using up the last of some koolbloom and it really wont matter much till next week. They are drinking more so buds are being built hard, good sign. 11/5 All seems well FFT-11 is maturing on one clone much faster than the other looks like they will be ready about the same time as the FFT-9 in a week or so Moving the 11 to the middle the 10 to the back of the tent as it will be last. So looks like over the next two weeks the 11 and nine come out so will be shifting feed to organic beginning with PK. So Ending Koolbloom restarting Soul Peak and Fish Shit

Topping was great ! Starting now with LST using a wire but gently don’t want to harm the plant they opened up pretty good 🙏🏽 I am increasing water by looks.

📆 Semana 9 La Mental Rainbow sigue afinando, pero sin prisas: esta genética aún quiere una semana más para sacar todo su potencial. Tras el lavado, los colores se limpian, los pistilos avanzan despacio y la resina se mantiene gruesa y brillante. El aroma dulce-terroso se vuelve más claro y profundo mientras la planta consume sus últimas reservas sin perder ritmo. Ahora solo toca mantener ambiente estable y dejar que termine de redondearse antes del gran final. 🌿 Maduración extendida: una semana extra para llegar al punto perfecto. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Not seen as much bud development as I thought I would have upto now. Trichomes on #3 is amazing way more than #2. As mentioned in previous weeks comments this week is a big week. As you may have seen I have been using the TS1000 for veg and flower upto now. I now have a FC-E4800 from Mars hydro. As these plants are in the corner and side of my grow tent they will be getting a lot more light than the ts1000 was able to offer. Exited for future runs with this light!

🌱 Week 1 — LSD (Zamnesia Seeds) – 12/12 From Seed | Update & Observations ✨ Introduction & Gratitude A massive thank you to everyone supporting this project: • Zamnesia Seeds for the LSD feminized genetics. • Plagron for LightMix Bio and the nutrient line powering this run. • Future of Grow for the Air Grow Pro III 2.95 Hyper Red LED & Nova 2C Pro controller. • Cannakan for the germination bundle and clean start. • And of course — GrowDiaries community, followers, supporters, critics – all of you bringing energy to the project. Your presence transforms a simple grow into a full learning journey. ⸻ 🌱 Germination Success & Early Structure Many seeds germinated beautifully — strong, vibrant, full of potential. I’m officially cataloging two plants here on GrowDiaries, but behind the scenes I’m maintaining several siblings for phenotype observation and comparison. This run is 12/12 from seed, which creates a very specific growth pattern: During Week 1: • Plants remain very small (just a couple of centimeters). • Above-ground growth is minimal. • Below-ground activity is extremely high. This is expected — and intentional. ⸻ 🌘 Understanding 12/12 From Seed When a plant receives 12/12 from day one, the message is: “The season is ending soon — focus on rooting and survival.” So instead of stretching or building large leaves, she invests early energy into: • Expanding roots • Stabilizing her metabolism • Preparing for an early, compact flowering cycle • Setting the foundation before vertical growth begins From my past 12/12 tests, this is always the pattern: Weeks 1–3 = Root-building mode Then suddenly — they take off. This method produces smaller but extremely resinous plants with fast turnaround and interesting terpene expression. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – Plagron Nutrient Strategy (Week 1) Even in Week 1 we’re feeding intentionally, because 12/12 requires an accelerated metabolic ramp. Water mix: • Terra Grow: 25 ml / 10 L • Power Roots: 1 ml / L • Pure Zym: 1 ml / L • Sugar Royal: 1 ml / L Foliar spray: • Vita Race: 2.5 ml / L Why this works: • Power Roots accelerates root mass — crucial for 12/12. • Pure Zym keeps soil active and helps nutrient absorption. • Sugar Royal boosts stress tolerance & vigor. • Terra Grow prevents early N deficiencies. • Vita Race strengthens the seedlings right away. This creates a balanced early nutrient environment for fast-cycle genetics. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Water Metrics Everything is stable and aligned with early root development: • EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.0 • Water temperature: 21–22°C • Room temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: 65–70% • CO₂: ~666 ppm (a number I personally enjoy 😄) This environment encourages rapid enzymatic activity, strong roots, and good nutrient flow. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – 500 PPFD From Day One We’re running 500 PPFD from the start, controlled by the Nova 2C Pro. Most growers start low… but in 12/12 from seed, higher PPFD ensures the plants receive enough total daily light early on. Why this works: • Ensures strong photosynthesis despite short photoperiod • Prepares the plants for higher PPFD later • Reduces stretch • Works extremely well with the Future of Grow Hyper Red spectrum The seedlings are responding exactly as expected — compact and healthy. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Weeks 2–3 • Slow, steady vertical growth • Leaf expansion • Root zone fully activates • First signs of hormonal shift toward pre-flower Weeks 4–5 • Miniature stretch phase • Formation of early bud sites • Structure hardens and prepares for flower stacking This run will produce compact, fast, resin-rich plants — perfect for demonstrating what’s possible with professional gear and alternative light cycles. ⸻ 📊 Metrics Being Tracked To keep this educational and transparent, we’re logging: • PPFD (currently 500) • Light height & dimmer percentage • Temperature / humidity / VPD • EC, pH, water temp • Feeding amounts & intervals • Growth progression, morphology, and structure • Differences between the official GD plants and the siblings ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Week 1 sets the foundation for an exciting 12/12 run with LSD from Zamnesia. This method is unconventional — but extremely rewarding when executed properly. And with: • High-quality genetics • Plagron nutrients • Professional-grade light from Future of Grow • Clean germination support from Cannakan • And an active, engaged community …this project becomes more than a grow. It becomes a shared learning experience. Thank you to everyone following, supporting, questioning, watching, and sending energy. You make this journey meaningful.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Thank you for understanding and for continuing to follow the journey so closely.

Germinated 10/06 Defoliated pretty heavily a few days before the pictures. Have lights cranked up to 8 now. Turned down chiller 2 degrees and humidity down 5%. Changed feeding ratios to 1-1-1 for “Flora Trio”. Quit using Flora Micro and switched to my own blend (see photo). Now using 3 different solutions, Miller Microplex, Calcium / Potassium Nitrate, Ammonium Sulfate. Still same target ppm as FloraMicro, just can’t mix sulfates with Calcium Nitrate so I dose Ammonium Sulfate into my res first and then wait 15 minutes.

Still really enjoying this lady 😍 into the second week of flowering and I'm seeing the start of a large amount of bud sites, 6/7 of her 10 top budsites looking very promising, hopefully within 2 weeks we should see alot more pistals I can see this grow going over schedule by quite abit with the extensive training she has been put through to produce her 10 top budsites. Overall really happy 😎🍁💚🇬🇧🦍

28.04.2024 First harvest in this run! Tropicana Cookies No1 is a winner.) First Tropicana Cookies is harvested on 89 day from seed. Total 55 days off flowering. Fast flowering indeed as fast in vegetative stage. Cut this girl in branches and hang upside-down in smaller tent for drying Set RH @ 55% , temperatures not able to control so they will be something around 20-21 in drying tent Second Tropicana will be chopped within a couple off days In this cultivation, I used commercial LED lighting for the first time—the HLG Scorpion Diablo 650w, a beasts of light. It helped the plants beneath it develop exceptionally hard heads without heat-induced stress. The light spectrum is excellent, and the plants under it appear much healthier than those under my old light. They also finished faster, if that has any relevance. After numerous failures and difficulties with the timers I used for pumps and electromagnetic valves, which resulted in interrupted irrigation on several occasions, I believe I’ve resolved those issues. The TrolMaster programmable devices work perfectly in recycling mode. The ability to adjust times in seconds is precisely what I needed! The TCS1 Tent-X brain, equipped with an excellent sensor for temperature, humidity, and light detection, is remarkably accurate with rapid value measurement response—faster than the AC Infinity 69PRO controller. My favorite piece of equipment is the AMP3 sensor with pH and EC probes. It performs exceptionally well—precise and accurate. Integrating it into the system is as easy as a breeze. All equipment and sensors can be added fast to the entire system. Additionally, the humidity control I use with the Corroventa K3HP air dehumidifier works like a charm! I am extremely satisfied with TrolMaster equipment and highly recommend it to anyone in need of a precise and reliable system for their grow tent, especially those using hydro or aeroponic cultivation methods. 01.05.2024 Checking TC in drying tent, perfect conditions, i will like more to have cooler temps but ... Six days already drying, think a 4-5 more and trimming. Tomorrow or day after is harvest off second TC and probably one Purple Lemonade... 12.05.2024 First Tropicana Cookies is ready for trimming and curing. Hard and dance buds. Try some small bud, very strong stuff! From first early girl i got 128g net weight Second Tropicana Cookies is on trimming session within couple of days.. 15.05.2024 Second Tropicana Cookies get trimmed. Amazing plant in term of bud density and aromas that it have. Hard and high odor buds. From second girl i got 131g net weight Total dry bud mass from two plants is 260g, Total power consumption for this two girls is around 180w. Total power used in whole tent is 720w at its maximum peak for 8 plants. Next week after leaving it in Grow Bags , first smoke review, can wait ! Overall growing Tropicana Cookies was easy grow with lot of fun. This girls are resilient to everything, from bad weather and less than perfect climate conditions. They except all. Growing two plants i can say that they grow very uniformly, finishing at same height and overall same density, size and shape. Almost like from a cutting. That is what i really like ! In future i gonna to grow this lady's at least one more time but with difference, i will grow them as only strain in same tent. Combining them with Purple Lemonade and Wedding Cheesecake was little bit challenging, i feel that either off three cultivars didn't show the best off them. Main deference was plant height and nutrient requirements. Highly recommended strain for everyone !

Big mistake I made with lightning , which made this strain suffer a lot. Inderlit buds lead to larf, will reduce that next time. I didn’t really weight it, it’s going for hash, but left at least 100g as flower.

This was a fun little project with a few ups and downs. Overall it was a success. I managed to get 86 Seeds off of the two plants, this is a smaller number but given that I started the pollination about 2-3 weeks late I am impressed. Top this all off with the fact I was using 10ppm silver solution for the majority of the reversing process and only had 30ppm for about a single week near the end. Moving forward if I plan on reversing anymore plants I will be investing in some STS vs Silver solution. It's easier to use and has stronger results. I also managed to get 25g of bug from the plants as well that I will infuse into some butter. Not to worry these are not the branches that where sprayed with silver and they have been cut off and disposed of in the composter. When I decide to grow these out I'll try and create a new diary and test if the CBD/THC ratios remain intact, if the plants are viable. I have not tested the germination rate on these seeds and for all I know they are duds or will not resemble their back-crossed parents. This is my first seed making project and so much is new and unknown to me. Have had lots of help along the way from some good GD friends. Tried to post lots of photos and products I used. The photos labelled [PREVIOUS HARVEST] where when I first grew this wonderful strain out. It has the same peppery kush smell and crazy deep purples as it first did. I did shock these plants with a heavy feeding that stunted them greatly, I also transplanted them when I should have started them off in their forever pot. This was all explained in the weekly entries when it happened and why. overall the autos are not heavy yielding but more average for an auto and that's ok with me. Its the smells, taste colours and CBD contest that draw me to it. Somethings to note from the diary, most of the liquid nutrients are diving by how much water I gave them, typically 4L. Solid nutrients are divided per litre of medium in the pots or they are the total amounts I added. Just ask if you have Questions.

Day 49 I super cropped all the plants for the first time on the first day of the week. They had all recovered by the next morning. I've been doing some hand bending down too to keep them short as possible. No wires at all. Still havnt watered since day 46. Day 51. I watered and feed this morning with the nutrients listed in the diary. They took 4 gal of water untill they had runoff. Ph was 6.1 @ 71°F. Also defoliated plants B and D a tiny bit for the first time. I came back to the tent around 4pm and noticed plant B was 22 inches from the light again. (I raise the light about every 3 days to maintain 24" above canopy) So instead of raising the light again I supercroped plant B to match the hight of the other 3 plants. Later in the evening I checked on them and plant B had bent back up towards the light, mostly even with the rest of the plants now. Day 52. Plants looks good. Plant B recovered well again from the HST but plant C (the strongest plant so far) is starting to curl up on the edges of the leaves. I'm pretty sure it's over watering. I'll keep an eye on it. Day 53 Plants look really good so I tired the light up 5 more percent to 35% still lat 24", above canopy. Tonight I put the trellis net down on them and spreaded them out more. Day 55 Plants were starting to droop so I watered Plants A and C with just water and molasses pHed to 6.0 @ 71°F, and watered Plants B and D with half strength general hydroponics (late veg). Let the runoff sit in the pans for 3 hrs or so then I vacuumed the runoff out. While I was watering I defoliated plants A and C at the base ( leaves wernt getting any light).

Week 8 and still now flowering on the Amnesia Zkittlez, changed it up to 12/12. EC is up to ~4.5 Plants seem to like it! Tried to get some pictures of the Trichomes with a jewelers Loupe. Smell is amazing!

Week 2 going strooong 💪🏼 Started some LST on it, watering with water and root booster 2-2 💧 You can see how the damaged two leaves are developing, but looks like it didn’t affect the growing. Hoping for good results 💚 Day 13, watering her once in two days (250ml) 2 times with plain water and 2 times with molasses water+root/growth booster and there is dry organic fertiliser in the soil (NPK 8-5-1) 🌱 growing good, took her further away from light (now 50cm) hoping for some stretch 😉 Day 14, finally got the bio-bizz nutrients, starting to add those, transplanted to bigger textile pot, gave her water + bio grow today 🌱

Today is day 54 from planting, and I have a log of optimism that they will finish out strong! The girls continued to stretch until a couple or days ago. Then they seemed to slow down and start focusing on bud growth, which was a welcome site. I'm super happy with the lst on the right plant, the left was a learning experience. There are a handful of stalks that are 10-12 inches above the lower canopy, which is obviously and issue. The main stalks just got so stiff that I couldn't bend them without risking a snap, which I have had happen in both previous grows. They continue to be thirsty, drinking almost a gallon per day each. Unlike previous grows, I have been doing the full amount of nutes, as I've heard Green Crack is a particularly hungry strain. Not much else to report, should be close to the stage where I just try to maintain everything and hopefully watch the buds fatten up. Thanks as always for taking the time to check out this diary, wish you all the best in your growing endeavors!
