2024-07-23 A few months ago, I germinated three opium poppy seeds. Each seedling was given a different setup: 1. Outdorgrow in a 30L container 2. Outdoorgrow in a 75L container 3. Indoorgrow in a 30L Airpot This post focuses on the indoor plant, which was trained using various techniques such as mainlining, topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and some supercropping. The indoor plant thrived from the beginning, showing vigorous and healthy growth. It responded well to training, consistently displaying a robust appearance. Its growth seemed effortless, requiring only adequate water and minimal nutrients. Training began with topping and continued for 9 weeks during the vegetation phase. The main technique used was mainlining, shaping the plant into a circle using pipe cleaners. The plant's soft stems and branches made it easy to train without causing stress. After 9 weeks of vegetative growth and training, I was satisfied with the result and initiated the flowering phase. The plant continued to flourish, primarily needing water and care. Only a few NPK feedings were necessary, but it received many beneficial supplements with watering. The growing medium used was Terra Preta MJ-Mix, and I applied a mycorrhizal inoculant called DYNOMYCO. This significantly enhanced root development and nutrient breakdown. Essentially, And i applied aTodpressing with Insectfrass, so they stayed lovely green. I was feeding the microorganisms in the Terra Preta mix, which in turn kept the plant healthy. The plant developed beautiful colas while maintaining its circular shape. Harvesting was straightforward. The aroma was fruity (reminiscent of apricot) with a strong, gassy undertone. The buds are currently curing. I've taken photographs of the plant's "skeleton" and some pre-cured buds, showcasing the impressive trichome development. The OutdoorPlants are still growing, and the Diary will continue

Welcome to another season of Grow N' Smoke! This is my 9th grow but my second diary. Luckily I came upon some seeds that I had been desperate to try, Cookies Gelato from Royal Queen Seeds. Shout out to James and RQS, they deliver to the USA now! I got my seeds sooner than I thought and was able to start my grow last Sunday 2/19/23. It's now Saturday 2/25/23 and we are off to good start. A 100% Germination! How awesome! I'm really excited about this grow and I am very hopeful of the results. I hope that you enjoy this journey with me and that we can help each other along the way.

It was easy to harvest she was very small jut cut it quickly without stalks the wet weight is 17 g of the buds. Smell is like spicy lemonish smell. This site has changed can not update and edit the comment section. The smoke is nice it is kind of relax and strong high. Not the best but not even bad. I like it.

She is bulking up now :) some leaves show some brown discolouration but nothing too serious. Just removed 2-3 Leaves that were not looking too good. Just let the plant do its thing. Light hits with about 850 PPFD

About this diary> So I've made it to the end! This baby didnt die on me! This diary was half a record for myself, to keep improving and contrasting against my future grows in and out of this wonderful platform (growdiaries), and half a tutorial for other noobs like me. That's why I wrote somewhat long explanations about some of the things I myself found confusing during this and last grow. I also repeated myself, but again mostly because I was trying to learn while doing. I got some help from other growers in the community, which was very nice, and different from trying to figuring out everything by oneself. This girl stretched a lot! from about 30 cm at the end of flower to about 90 cm before harvest, it survived nutrient burn, an accident were I dropped something heavy on her on flower, accidentally chopping a branch during LST and spider mites. However, still yielded nicely. I cant imagine what these genetics could become in the hands of a master grower!! About the growing conditions> The idea of the grow was, not only to learn how to grow a somewhat long flowering strain (6 week veg, 10 weeks flower) but also doing it very cheaply. I think the most expensive thing I bought was the seed from RQS. I built my own light fixture (from 4x 4.00CAD COBs from aliexpress), some cardboard, wire, sticks, tape and aluminum foil. I also used dollar store nutrients (like 15% of a 15-15-15 veg mix, and a 15-30-15 flowering mix). I timed this strain to finish a few weeks before the temperature really starts dropping outside, and was always able to keep it around 20-29C without any air conditioner/heater. About growing amnesia haze> I harvested this plant on the early side, but I found it a challenge not to harvest earlier! Since many weeks ago the delicious smell has been filling the room and some parts of the house... Plus, its a long wait... However, I think it was very well rewarded :) As I said, the high is creative, giggly, energetic and uplifting, at least from the premature samples we got. I will update this once the real deal is dry and cured :) About the harvest> Well in terms of numbers, I will update this when the weed is done drying, but I can do an estimate right now... each sample I took weighted about 1.45g wet, and dried to a 25% of that (0.35 g each)... It means that what I weighted from the harvest (412.86g + a bunch of trim) would probably weight about 100g when dry... Let's see how it goes in a week or two :)

I provided you with a close up video of each plant and one video where i go through tent and try to focus some nice buds individually. Flushing her for 5 days already with a mild 400 ppm solution of terpinator and mammoth. There she is, the prima donna of my tent, biggest and densest buds, check week one, i thought she was a rotten seed.. Smell is very interesting undescribeable to me i will wait some more time, maybe the moment when i grind her to give the best description.. I rate her 10 days to 2 weeks until harvest, all plants but one automatica are more less coming down in the same time.

It’s day 27 from seed for all the plants in the photo sea of green. Let’s call it the battle of the strains summer 2025. All of the plants are starting to have visible differences. I’m already starting to tell which plants are more sensitive than others.

07/28: début de pré-flo je vais tester bactohemp avec c'est acide humique etc dans le prochaine arrodage/engraissage .... #29 07/29: 1L *avec une cuillère à thé de bactohemp. Espérons que ce première arrosage de 1L vas régler mon problème hydrique... prochaîne arrosage avec runoff. J'ai ajouté des tuteur pour que le plants donne plus d'énergie à faire grossir les buds que à porter leurs poids #30 07/30: bactohemp a eu un effet bénéfique il me semble que les sites floraux se mettent déjà a grossir :) #31 08/01: premier arrosage de 3L*engraisser avec "runoff" :), l'étape la plus stressante a mon gout quand grow des autoflo en indoor #33 08/03: grosse défoliation aujourd'hui #35

Salut à tous, germination dans la terre directement avec le substrat Seedmix, en godet biodégradables, pendant 10 jours puis rempotage en pot géotextiles de 4 litres et substrat Zero mix Guano Diffusion. Terreau enrichi avec Lombricompost, Alguacymor, engrais guano, en 3-4 semaines les racines avaient entièrement colonisé le substrat sauf pour les Shogun et Cookies Gelato qui prennent leur temps ( rempotage 1 semaine plus tard ) Rempotage en pot de 15 litres pour les Fat Banana Auto et Royal Gorilla Auto, en pot de 4L pour la Critical et Royal Critical Auto, Royal Gorilla en pot de 50L mais avec environ 35 litres de substrat. Terreau enrichi comme ci-dessus avec guano de floraison et ajout de guano de croissance, passage en floraison fin de 4 ème semaine, ajout d'oligoélément Trace Mix Canna, MC4, 1/4 dose de Top-Max et sel d'epsom. Pour l'instant tout se passe bien, mon eau est très dure alors je la prépare la veille avec des bâtons de charbon macérant le temps u'il faut pour absorber un maximum de vacherie. Bref, hyper content de ses graines de chez ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, la Fat Banana Auto ... AWAH!!!

Der erste Run ist durch 😍 ich bin mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden und freu mich schon darauf es rauchen zu können 🙏 naja ein kleines bisschen konnte ich schon schon Naschen 😋 nach dem Wet trimm habe ich die Buds im DryFerm Bag´s zum trocknen in das kleinen Zelt gehängt. Dabei fiel ein kleines bisschen Scherenhash in meine Tüte 😎 Die Schnittreste lagen ohne DryFerm Bag ca. 1.5 Tage mit im Zelt. Anschließend 2 Tage in der Gefriertruhe um Dry Sift zu machen. Bei 14g Verschnitt fielen 0,7g feinstes Dry Sift aufs Tablette. 🙌 The first run is done 😍 I’m very happy with the result and can’t wait to be able to smoke it 🙏 well, I already got to nibble a little bit 😋 after the wet trim, I hung the buds in the DryFerm bags to dry in the small tent. A little bit of trimming hash ended up in my bag 😎 The cuttings were left in the tent without a DryFerm bag for about 1.5 days. Then 2 days in the freezer to make dry sift. From 14g of leftover trim, 0.7g of finest dry sift came out on the tray. 🙌

Hi all, Another amazing week passed by and RUNTZ from Zamnesia is starting to look like a real winner. So cool how well she is expanding and how well she takes LST. You can see we going to have a big bush when finished with hopefully a lot off very big coals. If no any serious problems get in our way hopefully I am looking to have her in flower by end off this month. Happy Growing
