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

🙏 Big thanks to Plagron and Zamnesia for putting on the Eternity Grow Cup 2025. This kind of platform means a lot to the community. The chance to push our grows, test out new techniques, and connect with other cultivators from all over has been inspiring. Appreciate the love and effort that went into making this event happen! Hope everyone enjoyed looking over my shoulder on this grow and best of luck to all participants! REVIEW - Runtz (fem., photo.) from Zamnesia: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜ The seeds from Zamnesia germinated rapidly, rooted strongly, went wild in veg, and produced an ample amount of high-quality medicinal flower. The diary speaks for itself on that front so this space will be more of a phenotype review. The plants were labelled A, B, and C from left to right respectively in photos. A and B were the 'clasicaly-appearing' sativa-esque leaves while C was the more 'indica-appearing' phenotype. Although A and B appear the same qualitatively, they did produce substantially different amounts of flower (despite their DLI being near max out for the entire tent footprint without supplementing CO2, so I do not think just being in the middle attributed to this). Past their different yields, A and B also have vastly different profiles. A is a classic gelato/ice cream cooler/Z terps, and my personal favorite of the plants (wish I had taken a clone of this one instead). B is the most on point for what I think of with Runtz, classic Z terps but with a slight tropical/rotten/sweetness to it. C had the misfortune of being ready to chop a little earlier than the other girls so her profile is mostly just spicey kush now. I did observe intersex flower sites but given the entire context of the diary and how the plants performed, I have to assume it was user error. No pollination observed in any of the flowers, as zero additional intersex sites occurred. The distinction between A, B and C is what I would expect from a typical F1 cannabis seed. I do not enjoy growing from seed much but these girls were manageable. Add to that the relative stability of the genetics for a Runtz recreation, and well, these are good quality beans for a great price. Not only is Zamnesia responsive and available, their confidence speaks volumes. How many vendors would have an in-house Runtz, knowing how much of a genetic-gravity-well it is in, and be confident enough to let ~200 randos grow it and show it? REVIEW - Green Sensation from Plagron: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜ I enjoyed using the green sensation, the NPK values on it make it versatile in application and a power-house in flower. I can't say I noticed anything better or dramatically improved, although comparing to Heavy 16 and asking for a marked improvement is big ask in my opinion. What I was able to do was seamlessly integrate the Green Sensation into my current routine. The additive stayed homogenous, was easily introduced into solutions with no adverse impact to the water contents or pH. Most importantly, the plants enjoyed the additive and it did accomplish the main goal of being able to wane off your primary line. In this respect, by using Green Sensation I was able to save resources by lowering my Heavy 16 inputs across the board approximately 50% and supplementing with Plagron's Green Sensation.

2/4/24 - Day 90 - Hello and happy water change day! For sure on the back half of the grow. She's getting bigger everyday! The buds as growing and getting more dense. 2/6/24 - Day 92 - GTFOut of here. She's not showing any signs of distress yet, she's still hulking! Those apples are getting bigger by the day! 2/9/24 - Day 95 - Hello all! Everything is going so good. The buds are getting bigger and the smell is honestly CRAZY. The box does a great job of keeping the smell low. But as soon as you open the box get ready. The whole block is smelling this for sure. I posted a video of me swapping out the D nutrient. It's such an easy process it takes more time to unbox the nutrients than it takes to install them. It's about 5 maybe 5.5 seconds to install. Watch the video to see the process! 2/10/24 - Day 96 - The trichomes are starting to get much more cloudy. Still not a lot of amber. She still is not showing any signs of going dead. Her leafs still look really green/purple.

Day 70: The Bluedreamatic went to go big and it is all I can do to keep them happy.lol The #1 los girl is yellowing off on her top leaves but had an amendments the other day to try and address it . Could be the intense lighting still but is isn't affecting her badly so fat bud wise. #2 is getting very big mow and needed moving over to a better spot in the room for wider coverage of her budsites. #3 who was inside with the crammed in girls has some very nice fat tops on her canopy and when I look deeper into her body , can see so many developing sites too. She has been moved to a better position too now and should get 2-3 weeks to soak up some lumens. They have been put onto shogun Dragon force and boost for their finish now so let's see if they swell up as I expect they will. I am convinced that these ladies will be heavy yielders by the look of them now. They smell of fresh pineapples when disturbed too. so beautiful. at least 2 weeks to go with them I think. roll on the chubby icy buds.

After the shock of all gelatos showing male signs, we got our shit together and removed all balls !! Zkittlez is getting out of tent for her black period tomorrow, giving our bigger gelato more space !! We still have one week and a half before Zki2 leave the tent and let the girls ride !! The final 4-5 weeks will go mad !! Need to clean our hps bulb and cooltube.. Tangie will go to their space, cuz she didnt show balls, so less maintance.. cheers and dont give up on hermies.. maybe it was just a bad day !! Temp dropped with a polar mass coming to our town, and water was freezing !! Light leaks were considered too, overwatering/feeding were disconsidered LST and rearrengement will be done as soon as Zkittlez mature..

What's up everyone ? This week was very nice. They gained a lot of trichomes and became super sticky. I fed them the last time today. From now on they will get pure water only. See you next week!

The progress is visible looking at the timelapse video, which I'm happy for, considering the events of last week. It's disappointing though to see the huge difference in size between the Criticals and the GZkitzs, the Criticals are 3 times larger.

First of all, Big thank you to the Super Sativa Seed Club for allowing me to Compete in the autoflower contest and providing the seeds. Day 1- Placed into water, leaving in warm dark place for 24-48hrs. Day 2 - seed sank, now decided to place in paper towel, in a bag in the cupboard. Will wait 24 hrs for tap root to emerge and to 2-3cm this time. Day 3- Tap root emerged about 1-2cm. I have transplanted to final 3gal fabric pot. I have used, 60% canna terra pro plus, 30%perlite and 10% canna terra potting mix. The potting mix I use only as a transplant medium within its final container, just to allow around the seed a better chance for roots to develop as I found just using terrapro plus they struggle to establish because of how rich it is. After planting I gave a light pH water only and covered with jug. I find this helps retain humidity on the little seedlings. Day 5 - seedling emerged from soil, a very happy, healthy seed to pop so far 😁✌️ Day 6- Showing fast growth for this little auto, she is definitely designed for a race 🤣 still only water pH balanced.

~ Auto Skywalker Haze®️ by Dutch Passion ~ Skywalker Haze x Auto Amsterdam Amnesia Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together cultivating Dutch Passion's Autoflowering version of their outstanding Skywalker Haze along with three other incredible autoflowers from Dutch Passion that I'm running separately, so buckle up and hold on! This will be a wild ride for sure! I've wanted to grow this strain for some time now and finally have an opportunity to see what I can do with it, and I've germinated two so double the fun! "Auto Skywalker Haze has a very pungent and fruity aroma! The incredibly firm and frosty buds give off a strong lemony, yet sweet, haze-like scent. The citrus and haze notes are clearly dominant. The combination of the fruity, sour, pungent citrus-dominant terpene profile with the more pungent, spicy haze character makes this a strain for real enthusiasts. The buds are completely covered in trichomes and in addition to providing a high cannabinoid profile. It also gives a true taste explosion. The terpenes are in abundance and they provide an exceptionally strong fruity haze taste. " ** "Auto Skywalker Haze is currently Dutch Passion's most potent autoflower with THC levels over 25%! 26.2% to be exact! This makes this strain even stronger than most of the photoperiod seed strains currently available worldwide.** "The feminized Skywalker Haze is a cross of our original and classic Skywalker variety, which consists of a cross of Mazar x Blueberry which in turn is crossed with an Amsterdam Amnesia from the Amsterdam underground scene. By crossing this photoperiod Skywalker Haze genetics with Auto Amsterdam Amnesia, Auto Skywalker Haze was created." ** "Auto Skywalker Haze produces robust and stable autoflower plants. This Sativa dominant cannabis strain is known for strong and sturdy plants that can take a beating. Most ladies grow into large plants with a real Sativa appearance. These phenotypes can grow quite tall with wide and long branching, thin leaves and elongated Sativa buds. These phenotypes usually take a little longer to mature. The flowers, which are completely covered in crystals, may have a tendency to foxtail slightly, but that doesn't take away from its true beauty. These buds also become a lot more compact than you might expect from the Sativa appearance. There are also phenotypes that remain just a little more compact and tend more towards the hybrid side. These mostly Skywalker-dominant phenotypes grow very hard and compact buds, sometimes reaching as thick as a Coke bottle. All plants have a good flower-to-leaf ratio and trimming the plants is relatively quick. Some plants can even be picked completely by hand and are ready really quickly. The small sugar leaves are also completely full of resin and trichomes, so you don't necessarily have to be very precise. If you want use it, then you have excellent trim to make your own hash, oil or other cannabis concentrate. Auto Skywalker Haze generally has a short internode distance. The flowers can grow nicely together and completely fill the branches from top to bottom with sticky buds. Most Sativa-dominant plants usually have a little more space between the buds. This lady can also stretch a lot. Outside we have seen occasional plants that have reached a height of more than two meters in the open ground. That is very exceptional for an autoflower."** "Auto Skywalker Haze generally takes about 12 weeks from seed to produce fully mature plants ready for harvest. There are two phenotypes of Auto Skywalker Haze that take a little longer, around 13 to 14 weeks. These are really worth the wait! During the last few weeks the buds get a lot thicker and heavier and the potency continues to increase. Outdoors, Auto Skywalker Haze takes an average of between 12-15 weeks to fully mature." ** **Credit- Dutch Passion.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~ Grown in 15L Gronest geotextile pots filled with Mother Earth Grow 70/30 Coco/Perlite with Xtreme Gardening Mykos added. ~ Seeds were germinated directly in the medium without any 'pre-soak' ~ Seeds were planted three days before the Full Moon (Waning Gibbons) and sprouted within 72hrs, on the Full Moon. ~ Feeding will be by Lotus Nutrients (first time using) ~ 24hr light cycle while germinating ~ 20/4 light cycle after first leaves appear. ~ 4x8 Gorilla Tent ~ HLG 650R w/ 30w Supplemental UVA Bar controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation.

This hybrid strain is a cross between Skywalker Haze and Dutch Passion Auto Ultimate and is known for its strong cerebral effects and uplifting high. In this report, I will share my experience growing Dutch Passion Auto Skywalker Haze and provide some 'High Humor'. ~Growing conditions~ I grew my Dutch Passion Auto Skywalker Haze plants indoors in a 4x8 Gorilla tent. I germinated both seeds directly in the Coco/Perlite medium and both sprouted within 72 hours! The growing environment was kept on point with the help of an AC Infinity Cloudline T6 exhaust fan coupled with their Series 67 Bluetooth Controller along with two 18" Hurricane fans, two floor mounted 8" fans and a 6" clip on fan providing ample air movement. Also crucial to this grow was the supplemental Co2 via a 50# tank regulated by an Autopilot APC 8200 Co2 Controller that I set to keep the tent at 700-1200ppm's throughout the run. Tent temperature's ran between 68-78℉, humidity was kept between 40-60%. I used a lighting schedule of 20/4 for the entire grow with a pair of HLG 650R's that also have supplemental UV bars attached. The exception being the last three weeks, where I added 4 hours a day of UV, and cut the cycle back to 19/5 for a week, and then finally to 18/6 for the last two weeks. I used Lotus Nutrients for the first part of this grow but became concerned when I noticed that I was getting yellowing I used starting on the #1 plant going from the bottom up indicating to me that their was a problem with the nutrients. Let me say that I'm VERY OCD when it comes to the PH/EC of what I feed my babies, following all of the recommendations from Lotus, but continued to see the yellowing progress. I then switched to Dutch Pro liquid nutrients and within two feeds I could begin to see a noticeable difference in the #1 plants color and overall health! As I continued using the DutchPro nutrients the #1 plants health, vigor and color continued to dramatically improve all the way up until harvest. I can honestly say the I believe switching to DutchPro nutrients saved this grow from a possible dramatic failure! ~Flowering time~ My Dutch Passion Auto Skywalker Haze plants had a flowering time of 93 days from seed to harvest for the #2 plant and the #1 in an unbelievable 113 days! The #2 reached a height of 23" and produced yield of 116g, while the giant #1 plant came in with a whopping 279g total yield and grew to just shy of 40" tall! In addition to all the tasty flowers that these two plants provided, I took the 'sugar trim' from them and ran it through my sift screens resulting in a 24 gram mound of sift on the first sift! And now for some 'High Humor': ~Growing Dutch Passion Auto Skywalker Haze was a bit like being a Jedi, except instead of using the Force, I used Coco/Perlite and DutchPro nutrients. ~ My Dutch Passion Auto Skywalker Haze plant was so big and beautiful, it could have been featured in the Millennium Falcon's garden. ~When it comes to smoking Dutch Passion Auto Skywalker Haze, it's like taking a ride on the fastest ship in the galaxy - it's a real trip. In conclusion, the Dutch Passion Auto Skywalker Haze was one of my all time highest yielding and longest growing autoflowers to date. It was a very easy strain to grow, and it only required minimal care and attention to ensure that it grew to its full potential. Cultivating these two Dutch Passion Auto Skywalker Haze plants indoors was a great experience that resulted in two beautiful and high-yielding plants. Smoking the buds provided a strong cerebral high that was uplifting and energizing. I would highly recommend this strain to other growers looking for a relatively easy to grow variety with strong effects. May the Force be with you as you embark on your growing journey... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ References: Dutch Passion. (n.d.). Auto Skywalker Haze. Retrieved from https://dutch-passion.com/en/cannabis-seeds/auto-skywalker-haze Leafly. (n.d.).

So first of before you wonder why tape is falling off the trunk etc, all that is coming off. Little experiment im doing of Super HST, essentially snapped off 3 main nodes and taped them back together. I want to see if this makes a difference in overall weight, quality and any visual differences. The plan is to weigh all 3 total weight individually and compare to other branches of the same node/section of the plant to compare. Becoming a heavy drinker at about just under 1/2 gal per day. Re-calibrated my PH pen as noticed a few spots coming up and the solution was sitting closer to 5.6. More upgrades would be needed if I would opt for constantly running a DWC system as its proven challenging with limited length air lines etc to pull her out of the short tent to work on her stature. Supercropped numerous times to keep the canopy at a manageable 12” from the light. At 95 Watts it’ll be interesting to see what can be pulled from 5 Gal DWC keeping it simple 2 nutrients, Nova and Calmag ✌️
