Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Day 29: Pre-flowering did start. Changing now to Hesi Nutrients. Watered them with 1,25 l. Since they are not dried completely out. Wanted to boost them into flower now! Letting them dry out now to the half of total weight. I'm a bit nervous about the nutrients cocktail though. :) Day 32: music for plants: "Jules Reidy - Trances" "Cousin - HomeSoon" "Yara Asmar - synth waltzes and accordion laments"

Day 64: I've been on vacation for four days now. However, I was able to keep an eye on everything remotely using the spiderfarmer app. They look great. The Pink Cookies and the Purple Kush have grown quite a bit taller. The buds have generally grown larger and the first frost is visible. I watered all the plants with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and Cal Mag. More shoots have also woven into the web. Day 65: Not much has changed since yesterday. The plants look healthy and happy. I lowered the light by 10 cm. I hung the fan over the lamp and set it to a faster speed. The flowers look beautiful. Since the Pink Gelato is growing taller now, I had to adjust the humidifier a bit. What varieties are you currently growing? Day 66: The girls are doing well! Today I defoliated the plants again. I decided to remove some of the leaves so that the top buds would grow nicely and I'd have as few popcorn buds as possible. I hope it wasn't too much. I also watered all three plants with 2 liters of water mixed with Hesi-Bio-Bloom and Cal Mag. Unfortunately, it's still quite warm in the tent. Do you have any ideas how I can get the temperature down?

Hi everyone Welcome ๐Ÿ™‚ We arrived today at the end of week 12 in sweet company with these beautiful five girls all from the same family , KALINI ASIA ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐ŸŽ‹ For those who already know no further explanations are needed, but just to be precise.. This diary it's for the Zamnesia Spring Cup ๐Ÿ† I'm growing all seeds Zamnesia has provide us for try to show how this strain can grow in different ways. The substrate will be the same light-mix soil mix with cocco and some one with humus The nutrients and the cultivation techniques will be different for each one So , I have reported down below what I do and I will do every week for the next few months.. The 5 ways ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒต๐ŸŽ„ PS (Things I have and I still use in flowering , I have put for all five down below ๐Ÿ‘‡, because are mostly the same) K # โ€‹โ€‹1 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ6} Final height= 30cm Is the lady where I have use all the things ZAMNESIA was provide to us for free๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’ฏ ( I will spend more words about it when I post the harwest) _11l ZAMNESIA-POT _70g MONSTER-MIX _60%light-mix soil/30%cocco/10%perlite _mycorrhizae This girl is slightly faster in flowering when compared to the other four.. I remind you that both she and K # 2 and K # 3 entered flowering one week after K # 4 and two weeks after K # 5 respectively.. In addition, all three were tied by practicing LST, without topping I simply carried out a slight defoliation and lollipopping in its first half weeks after the 12/12 light change Everything is going well and for now I am more than satisfied ๐Ÿ‘Œ She and K # 3 are not showing and I really think they won't delight us with pink / purple colors On the other hand, however, the buds are very dense and have a higher concentration of trichomes We'll see ๐Ÿ˜‰ The other things I have use in this last seven days I will put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#2 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ6} Final height= 30cm For this girl I have use a different approach.. _11l smart-pot _Living Soil (my High-Brix formula) _mycorrhizae How beautiful she is right now ๐Ÿ˜ The leaves are gradually losing their beautiful light green color becoming more and more yellow The plant has been in the auto flush phase, if we can say so, for about ten days.. So it will probably be ready shortly after 60 days ๐Ÿ“† The aroma that emanates is very good, it sincerely reminds me of a little Kush because of earthy hints I still don't feel it๐Ÿ™Œ I will probably find them in smoke, but certainly in mix with other more citric / fruity notes It is still early to understand Certainly in the next two weeks the aromas will tend to explode.. I can't wait ๐Ÿ˜‹ The inflorescences are slightly smaller than the others, most likely due to the diet they are following.. But I have no doubt that the flavor will be exceptional once dried and tanned at its best ๐Ÿ”ฅ Like the other sisters , the micro life/nutrients/stimulator I have use in this last seven days I have put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#3 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ6} Final height= 35cm With this girl I have use.. _11l plastic-pot _20gMONSTER-MIX + 70g guano kalong + 25g kelp kalong + some organic nutrients/stimulator _mycorrhizae This beautiful lady is the most leafy of the family ๐Ÿƒ But also the one with the fatter flowers and perhaps with the greatest quantity of resin ๐Ÿ’ช It is almost identical to K # 1 in terms of smell The flowers if you observe them well differ slightly as the white pistils are much more elongated than the sister who is growing in the official pot of Zamnesia.. Most likely at the end of this new week , I will start to defoliate a little bit โœ‚๏ธ A little stress towards the end never hurts, just don't go overboard ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘Œ We will see how she reacts.. Things I have use this week down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#4 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ7} Final height= 40cm The little one ..but the most resinous of the three purple/pink ๐Ÿ’ช Whit her I have using.. _5l air-pot _30g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae This little girl really smells delicious, but still very similar to K # 2 and K # 5.. Its buds are not too large but very sticky to the touch ๐Ÿ”ฅ She and K # 5 need water every day ๐Ÿ’ง Certainly having used an airpot helps to dry the ground first.. Its larger leaves are now a beautiful yellow color and in a few days they will begin to fall I really think that at the latest within two weeks she can be mature at the right point ๐Ÿ‘Œ As I said before, the flowers are not very large, but present along all the branches.. Even the lower ones have reached a remarkable durability that is gradually increasing We will see in the end ๐Ÿค— Other nutrients/stimulator I have put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#5 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ8} Final height= 60cm The beautiful one.. _7l geotextile pot ( not completely full , about 5,5/6 liters ) _40g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae I love everything about her.. The ease of cultivation, the production of flowers entirely along the branches, the beautiful color of the latter and the spatial aroma๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ฅ Now then, since he started to run out of nutrients, he has taken on and is taking on beautiful colors.. From green to yellow with fantastic purple hues.. The density of the trichomes is not at extreme levels, perhaps also because of the heat ๐ŸŒก๏ธ But the aroma it gives off is amazing A real pearl ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ Today we are exactly 60 days from when it entered flowering.. I really think it will be ready not earlier than 70 days.. But I'm more than happy to wait a little longer I can't wait to enjoy it in a few months Ok and that's all about the general state of each one Now I have reported over here the other things I have using in this last seven days , apart the regular water I have give every day mostly for each ones ๐Ÿ’ง So.. K#1 / K#2 / K#3 _5,5ml molasses each one _3,5ml rinhoskin each one _3,5ml topmax each one _3,5ml sensizym each one For the other two I have only using regular water๐Ÿ’ง and some enzymes for K#4 So , for this last one this week I have using.. K#4 _2ml sensizym And instead for K#5 I have use _ water , every day We are getting closer to the conclusion of this fantastic cycle.. I have not encountered obvious problems so far, we hope to continue on this path.. This strain is really interesting and it is surprising me more and more I hope that you too can enjoy the best of the floral show, the photos do not do justice to the beautiful colors that I am seeing ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿต๏ธ Maybe it will be much clearer when I bring the flowers back once everything is done ๐Ÿ˜Ž For now, this is it Stay tuned if you don't want to miss the show And thank you all for the support you have given me to date ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ See you in week nยฐ13 ๐Ÿ˜„ Ciao โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Week 12 Started on June 19, 2022 Finally recovered and lots and lots of defoliation happened, I am talking a compressed ball of leaves and stems the size of a softball. That means I got rid of most the weight below the buds, snipped the buds I didn't want to see straggling, and lollipopped colas -- left a few leaves on. Took a few clones to see what happens. She is doing well, more pics soon. I cleaned the reservoir again, fresh water, drained the autopot and made sure my Ph is 6.3 to 6.7 Adding weak calmag+ to deter the iron lockout I think I saw in early week 11, figuring out dosing now, might need a bit more. Not a ton of nutes added as the plant is progressing well, added a tiny amount of MOAB, also just thinking my single COB flower light is gonna be too weak on its own. We'll see it's early yet. Might need to turn on the supplemental light next week, old school HPS 150 Watt on its last grow. The heat will drive the humidity way way down, and that will be a good thing, just gotta crank the fans on high and no looking back after that. That will be 400 watts in a 3x3 -- HPS is hot as can be. When compared with growth like this: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/135853-grow-journal-by-kushdoctor/week/766680#gallery=5630051 I worry about the size right now on day 18 of flower, not that big and no sugary stuff yet, I think I need to let her just grow and perhaps add just a bit more flower nutes, but I will wait until she fills in just a bit more, I seriously took off SO MUCH, but last grow I should have taken more off than I did, I was was super aggressive, I don't want larf.

sorry for the two week break I was studying for my exams and literally I had no time for these girls. At the end of week 4 I transplanted her on a 15L pot, started LST and moved her outside. Had some issues with bugs but neem oil solved it.
