We chopped down the plants. Now they hang out to dry in the tent. The Trichs looked very good. Some milky, some amber, hardly any clear. Just the way I want it. The popcorn buds were rather milky. So we have more of a couchlock effect on the head buds and the maximum THC on the popcorns. I'm really looking forward to the taste💚

The week went again pretty uneventful, other than me not getting the tip burn under control. I have further reduced base nutrients, removed the green sensation (simply because I ran out ;)) and increased pk 13/14 further. The buds continue to develop new pistils and continue to swell. The trichomes look mostly milky at this stage, I will however wait until I have around 20%-25% amber. I have cut a bud from the lower canopy (pictures attached), which is quite solid to touch and had a wet weight of roughly 1,2 gr and is currently drying. Overall the bud structure on this plant looks amazing the buds a re super dense, nicely clustered around the stems and she looks like she'll be a joy to trim.

She's doing damn great starting to die off tho I think I let pH get a little too high but it's good she'll pull out ajdusting for it she's almost done gonna havrest slightly early I normally prefer about 20 percent amber trics gonna check with microsope end of the week nugs are absolutely hard as rocks this bàbby is gonna go out with a bang that's for sure !

As week 5 came to a close and we move into week 6 of flowering, I am having really high hopes for the end result. The buds started to get some light orange hairs which is really nice and they are really starting to thicken up! Towards the end of week 5 the plants started to show early signs of burn on their leaf tips, so I started the week 6 feeding a little early. In week 6 we bring the EC down quite a bit as we get into the late stages of flower. I also recently switch to measuring with EC vs PPM for ease and accuracy. Also at the end of week 5 I did a calibration on my coco for each plant as week 6 nutrients are much lighter. Coco Calibration Method 1. Mix up nutrients. 2. Water plants as normal and measure runoff. 3. If runoff EC is not at or close to the inflow EC a. Water more and keep measuring runoff until the runoff is at or close to the inflow EC 4. Do steps 1-3 for all plants (One at a time) Tips: - I use a shop vacuum that I stick the end in the bottom of the pot saucers and leave it on while I water so it sucks the runoff as soon as it drains out the pots. Then I measure, empty and water again until I hit my targets) For this calibration, I ended up using around 6 gallons of nutrient solution. Watering technique used is to measure runoff at every watering and make sure we are staying as close as possible to the inflow EC. It does not matter how much water you need to put through the pots to get to the desired EC on runoff as that is a benefit of Coco. My main goal is to keep my runoff in check and the plants seem to do better than I have ever grown before! The smell off these ladies are amazing and strong. I don't have a carbon filter and enjoy her smells and aromas all day long as my desk is right next to my tent. There were no issues in Week 5. Plants continue to look amazing and the buds are continuing to bud up and structure very nice! I'm excited to see the end result after the ripening and flush stages. Also the colors that are soon to come! Stay tuned! ______________ We are 5 days into week 6 and the buds continue to grow fatter and fatter on a daily basis. I'm really dialing in my EC and making sure to mix it at 1.1 EC and making sure my runoff is from 1.1-1.4. I started playing with the mix as I am getting used to the grow schedule and how the base nutrients effect the EC. I have found that doing 50% of the low strength calendar hits me right at my target EC and I don't have to dilute my mixture after. The smells continue to be strong and fill my house up. The weight is starting to make the colas lean over which is nice because it's opening up the canopy to get more light in. I'm very excited to see what the buds look like in week 7 and then we are on to ripening stage, flush, and then finally harvest!!

This is another strain that is going full force and in both technical/free versions, we are talking about the Zookies Automatic by Zamnesia. 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 a plant worked with a precise and punctual Main Lining: We have a topping at the third internode, an accompaniment of the growing branches towards the third internode and then toppiong again, everything lowered well with our metal arches. I saw the side branches go very high and I topped again to have more branches at the end, everything very clean underneath. Comparison is the salt of the experience, so the plant in the other diary will be treated very differently, go and see it to make a comparison. We started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is made up of recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). In the middle of the week the pre-flowering started so I decided to start the program for this phase: 1 ml/l of Power Roots - 1 ml/l of Pure Zym - 1 ml/l of Sugar Royal - 1 ml/l of Power Buds - 4 ml/l of Alga Bloom Remember the Green Sensation from the 3rd/4th week of flowering depending on the flowering speed or how you see the calyxes composing, when the calyx is in the swelling phase it is used. We sprayed 5 ml/l of Vita Race foliar fertilizer once a week. ------------------------------------------------- https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent RQS mycorrhizae running through the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrhiza-easy-roots.html Is a top strain of the last few years very high level of thc ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11174-zamnesia-seeds-zookies-auto.html Brief description of Zamnesia // The result of the cross between Animal Cookies, GG#4 and ruderalis, this compact variety produces top quality buds, maintaining all the charm of a modern US hybrid. Thanks to the hard work of the Zamnesia genetics team, Zookies Automatic is easy to grow, fast flowering and exceptionally vigorous. Regardless of whether you grow indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse, if you are looking for a stable autoflowering strain that is quick to harvest, Zookies Automatic is definitely the one for you. Like all Zamnesia autoflowers, Zookies Auto promises rapid harvests of top-quality bud with minimal effort. And she delivers on that promise. After germination, Zookies Automatic plants grow vigorously for around 3–4 weeks. At the end of the pre-flowering phase, plants typically reach a height of between 90–110cm, depending on the size of the pot. The whole world of cultivation and much more is on 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

Lotss of updates! Got a decent commercial LED 600w so just about same wattage as my last three lights but way more coverage and light penetration🙏 I dont have the dimmer so that might be needed as the babies get taller! Ended up cutting about 6 clones from each plant. Just going to wait for a little recovery then im transplanting into 5 gallon for flower!

Jetzt geht es dem ende zu... eine woche noch dann wird geschnitten :) und genossen Hatte davor noch nie so viel spaß wie bei dem grow... War zwar etwas länger als normal aber hat sich auf jeden fall gelohnt Kush riecht nach kush Diesel riecht sehr fruchtig Und haze riecht ein pheno nach lemon haze der andere eher nach skunk. Durch die Kontrolle des Ph wertes und des spülen mit wasser zeigen sich jetzt auch langsam die Farben des Herbstes ind den Blättern Schade würde sie noch gerne stehen lassen Aber die grapefruit Diesel wirkt überreif und ich will keine Hermies riskieren...

girl, from the beginning she was watered with water from the tap, the value of which is almost 350ppm. and a lot of lime, which prevents me from growing it bigger, but I'm happy with the result :) it's a small pot and only 50 w :) the flowers look very beautiful and sticky :) super ​

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

They cut all my plant and take it. Bad friends. The yield and number of plant was higher. Unfortunately. I walk away with 500gr of 16 different strain. No trace of Super Lemon Haze

I can't believe it's already time! Everything is going perfectly as planned and smell is absolutely incredible. Super strong sweet funky smell... definitely a pleaser. Some of the buds you'll notice have multiple tops and are super wide. That's because I had topped the actual buds to see if it would get more growth on the sides. And sure enough it did. The buds on half of the plant got exponentially larger a tad bit of foxtailing but more density than anything. Great success will for sure do it in the future. overall I'm very happy this run

Its winter so i connected a air hose to my 45watt fan and i blow in warm air, the other side of the hose is right above my gas heater downstairs. The out fan in the tent is on 65watts my tent stays 20celcius and humidity under 50%. I dont think my plants like this “warmed air” as my seedling curl up completely if i put them in the same tent. Its either this or let her freeze. My yield will suffer as it does every winter but hey spring is coming in a few months then its back to party hardy, or grow hardy in our case.

Mein erster Grow neigt sich auf jeden Fall dem Ende zu. Ich denke allerdings, dass ich sie auf jeden Fall noch mindestens zwei Wochen Reifen lassen werde
