Wassuuuup my dudes 21 days into flowering and the results from the lst and defoliation are showing up. Multiple healthy tops and even the small nodes under the canopy are growing bigger, if all goes well I won’t have many popcorn nugs but I’ll have just big buds (let’s hope) I guess this also means they won’t stretch much more but I think some more height would be good for yield, anyway, can’t complain for the 1st grow and this is a process, there are no perfect grows! This week was also a week to add some more nutrients (the plagron) and it’s working very well for now! Let’s wait for the next few weeks, can’t wait to see the fatty buds 😂 Tell me what you think!

very nice strain with 2 great ancestors, solid taste and scent, got some great buds with great taste and awesome looking plants with incredible colors

Well week 5 of bloom is complete, and this week brought a few challenges. Humidity in my area has been through the roof, close to 100%. My heavy-duty equipment was struggling to bring my tent to acceptable late flowering levels, sometimes reaching over 60% RH, especially at night when the plant was respirating more. Additionally, her pale yellow color, and leathery leaves didn't excite me too much. If you remember, we had a severe heat wave a couple of weeks ago, which contributed to that. But also, since I messed up the ScrOG training, and regrettably decided not to super-crop her, a fair share of the leaf problems were due to light stress as well, as I didn't want to sacrifice lower colas, so I let it go. My biggest mistake this grow, was not paying attention to her the one day she decided to stretch nearly a foot, and was unable to be weaved into the net the next day without being snapped in half. My second biggest mistake is NOT snapping it in half, and letting it repair itself. I wouldn't have had nearly as much bleaching of leaves I think. This week, and I'm assuming because nearly all chlorophyll was depleted from her fan leaves, I didn't notice much of any change from last week. Her buds seemed to be about the same mass, and the stigmas still had the same ratio of red to white coloration. I suspected she was dead, or dying, or just...done. Not all genetics will transform all of their stigmas from white, and not all genetics will have their trichomes turn amber. So, I did a few things to confirm that suspicion. First, I looked at her trichomes on various buds closely with a microscope. They were almost all cloudy, with very very few amber. That told me that she was at an acceptable level of ripeness, even if she could have went longer, assuming she was still alive. Next, I removed the pea gravel mulch I was using in the raised bed, so I could get a closer look at the soil she was growing in, and more specifically, her roots. The soil, although moist a few inches deep, was not at the level I expected, and I think I have not been watering her enough. I don't think I'll be using a gravel mulch again. On the plus side, it did help prevent fungus gnats, as there was zero the whole grow, apart from an early week when I placed some solo cups to germinate on top of the bed, but after removing them, the fungus gnats disappeared with them. Also while inspecting the soil, I carefully dug down to inspect some of her primary roots. They were actually dry, despite the surrounding soil being moist. This could explain why she wasn't drinking much if any for the better part of the week. So, given her dry foliage, dry roots, and ripe-enough trichomes, I decided it was time to harvest her, earlier than expected. Let's also not forget that I was frightened this week with some high humidity scares, so growing longer, and possibly for no reason if she was dead or barely alive, was not in the cards. I've dealt with my fair share of bud rot before, and I would rather try what I have of her now, than to wait the extra week or so for her to be fully ripe. So, that is what I did, on the last day of the week -- I chopped her down, cut off some larger fan leaves, and hung her upside down. This, of course, was after removing the raised bed. It took me a while to empty about 45 gallons of soil so I could move it, but in doing so, I noticed a lot of beneficial critters, and nothing bad. Such critters included small centipedes, which feed on other insects, and soil mites which eat dead organic matter. I set the tent to dry at around 72F and 55 RH. And now we wait for about a week before trimming. One thing is for sure -- I am very proud of this grow, despite all these flaws. She smells incredible -- like pure citrus emanating throughout my house. This is a very strong-smelling plant. As a bonus, I've included a time-lapse video of the entire grow from start to finish in the last media above. Check it out and let me know what you think. I'll be back for the harvest week for the dry weight in about a week or so, after we're done drying and trimming.

Removed 20l from the reservoir and filled it up with fresh nutrients. Added Yara Kristalon Orange, Yara Calcinit and a little bit of Haifa GrowClean to the reservoir. Adjusted PH/ORP, PH- adds P and ORP adjustment adds K. Topped it up with tap water every second day, the dehumidifier pulls ~12l/day, most of it should be from the plants I've got in my tent. I am struggling to keep ORP at ~100, might be a sign of root trouble. Nothing else to report. Values are average of the day.

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.

Well she made it another week and tbh I think I'll go about two more days with her in dim light. She got another coating of terps a few days ago and she looks ready🧐😍😍😍

Will up date in a week or 2

Day 7 - little bit of water with Acti+Heaven, will move into the 9L pots in about a week just saving some space outside the tent. (Ph 7)(5 cm) Day 8 - little bit of water with Acti+Heaven (Ph 6.8)(6 cm) Day 9 - little bit of water with Acti+Heaven (Ph 6.4)(7 cm) Day 10 - little bit of water with Acti+Heaven (Ph 7)(7 cm) Day 11 - little bit of water (Ph 6.4)(8 cm) Day 12 - little bit of water (Ph 6.4) moved into their 9L final pots, PPFD at 230 (35%)(9 cm) Day 13 - little bit of water with Acti+Heaven+Grow (Ph 6.4)(9 cm)

I’m growing her again she’s a beauty The nose on her is strong like fuel can’t wait to taste her

Buenos días familia, hoy traemos la 3 semana de floración de nuestras crazy cookies, zambezaseeds. Es una cepa bastante vigorosa con un tallo robusto 6mm, exactamente a mitad altura. Su cultivo es fácil, apenas se ve bloqueo alguno, traga muy bien en lo que se refiere a nutrientes. Ph en 6,5 y humedad por debajo de los 45 % . 48h entre riego y riego, no olvidemos que están en tiestos de 7L. Su floración está siendo bastante rápida estas semanas se verá como engordan nuestras flores, sin duda este es el momento para meter caña a big bud y bud candy.

01.10.25, Day 12 I watered again with 1.5 L of tap water because I cannot detect any nutrient deficiencies yet 02.10.25, Day 13 I've used some organic pesticides for thrips and fungus gnats. I think everyone who grows organically has these problems. I've had problems with pests from the beginning, but I was never able to really do anything about them. This year, I added predatory mites to my soil, but didn't notice any noticeable effect. So I looked for an organic pesticide and found one. I used it on my last crop and was able to keep the pests under control. In my current crop, I noticed small creatures on the soil and concluded they must be predatory mites from the reused soil. Apparently, the organic pesticide doesn't harm the mites, since I also spray the soil and the pots. 04.10.25, Day 15 I try to keep the temperature around 24 degrees Celsius and the humidity around 60%. This is difficult at the moment, as the tent is still too big for the plants and winter is just around the corner. But that will change quickly once the flowering phase begins. Since the plants have passed the critical phase, I've set the distance of the lamp to about 60 cm.

Well this week has been quite stressful ! Where I live has been humid as f...k and the RH in my tent is around 60 percent !!!! (week 5 of flower !! ) Even with a dehumidifier !! I m keeping a good airflow and low temps ( around 23 c ) hoping it will avoid bud rot or powdery mildew : //// !!! Does anybody have good tips to drop down that humidity please ? Besides that the plants are looking healthy and frosty and are starting to get bigger every day ! I've just been taking some fan leaves off now and then to expose buds to light. I hope buds are going to fatten up ! Happy growing y'all !

Not much to say here, plants are growing nicely and overall look fine to me. i topped the bigger ones at the end of the week above the 4th node and the new branches are starting to develop. They get a little bit thirstier and drink more often and i think in the next week i'm going to put the small ones in bigger pots. So lets get into the next week :)

3 out 3 germinated so far

Day 82. First of two is down. Day 88. Second down. Both will be decent by weight and structure, but smell and taste .... maybe after cure ? ;))) Day 92. First went to jars. Will be hard to keep fingers away ... ;))) Day 98. Both in jars ! 170 g of my very likeable smoke ;) Will update later Happy Growing !!!

Very happy with this week girls are drinking over a litre every 2 /3 days New led lights Very happy so far with performances

Hello Growmies, Entering the sixth week of flowering with our vibrant Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids by Zamnesia, it's evident that our decision to opt for low-stress training over topping is yielding fruitful results. The plants have gracefully embraced the SCROG network, with a well-distributed canopy that's maximizing both light absorption and airflow, fundamental factors for their sustained well-being. The Watermelon Candy's display of luscious green foliage and resilient stems is a clear indicator of their prosperous journey through the vegetative stage and into flowering. The environment within the tent has been fine-tuned to near perfection during the daylight hours thanks to the Tent-X system. The Prima Klima EC blue fan's anticipated arrival next week is expected to iron out the nighttime VPD inconsistencies, ensuring a consistently optimal environment for the critical flowering stage ahead. Despite being introduced a week later than their tent companions, these F1s are displaying a remarkable growth spurt, currently about 10-14 days ahead in development compared to the photoperiod strains sharing their habitat. It's a testament to their vigorous genetics and the efficacy of our environmental controls and nutrient regimen. The weekly feed includes a meticulously measured concoction of Alga Bloom, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, administered every four days to sustain their accelerated growth. We've encountered our fair share of challenges with equipment integration, but it's the resilient spirit of these Watermelon Candy plants that keeps us motivated. Their rapid development and the advent of dense floral sites suggest we're on the path to an abundant harvest. In the latest images, you can see the substantial pre-flower stretch, with plants #2 and #3 particularly standing out with their robust stature and symmetrical growth. It's a joy to witness the fruits of our labor coming to such a vivid life. As we adjust our PPFD levels from 250-350 to a more intense 450-500, we're steering our lush green sea towards a future of dense, resinous buds, all while ensuring our environmental parameters are tightly regulated. The TrolMaster's data logs reveal our success in maintaining VPD within range, with occasional deviations promptly corrected—often just a matter of fine-tuning our fan settings between day and night cycles. Our community's wisdom has been invaluable, and we look forward to more shared experiences as these F1s reach their full potential. Stay lifted, Salokin
