8/26 - sporty looking great, praying hard! Posh is working on it. But look who finally showed up to the party! I’m calling her Baby spice. She sprouted 12 days after going in the soil. Way to be a fighter girl! This is going to be a tricky thing to manage I feel like my gals are tracking a week apart. I’ll keep this journal’s timeline on sporty spice. -1 week for posh and -2 weeks for baby spice. spice girls let’s grooooow! 8/30 - exactly two weeks from sprout for Sporty and Posh. Pretty wild how big a difference there is between the two. Baby is getting her footing. Now. Sporty already pushing 4-5 nodes and I saw a tiny root through the drain hole. Wanted to pot her up! About 8 cups pro mix, one cup perlite. About 1.5 tbs of Gaia green 4-4-4, some worm castings and sprinkled mycorrhiza around where the rootball would be. God speed girly! 9/3. Potted up Posh today. About a half gallon pro mix, plus about 1.5 tbsp of the Gaia green 4-4-4. Plus about a cup of worm castings, perlite, and mycorrhiza. Sporty is looking very happy, 5 nodes and counting. Added back my second light, let’s go girls!!! 9/5. Wrapping up week 2 here, so far I’ve been really impressed with the pro mix Gaia green and soil support so far. The girls seem happy and healthy. See you in week 3!

Since day one she has been a great plant with a lot of growth in her first few weeks of vegetative growth. The team at fastbuds has some great strains and this blackberry has to be my absolute favourite so far... It has the most intense berry smell ever and skunky to boot. I'm getting excited for this girl to be harvested so this week I'm starting the flush and am aiming for a dry 6 days and the cure ..The nutrients have been stopped and now its just the waiting game ..cheers

We have reached the second week of flowering for our beautiful photoperiod ladies of Zamnesia. Born 1 September now at day 45 amazing. ---- The general environmental conditions are good, there is always a little too much heat from next week we should have just for the resin a sharp drop in temperatures that could also give us beautiful foliage for this period. --- Our 2 Karen Kush deserve a slightly different discussion. They had a bit of difficulty in the final vegetative phase, I saw them not being very good and here is where different decisions must be made for the two plants. —— Plant 1 is still in vegetative stage in another growbox dedicated to emergencies and due to space problems. I topped the center x8 tops and I'm letting them grow. Under the center I cleaned everything except two lateral branches that I elegantly worked with a symmetrical LST that director Wes Anderson would really like. It's a plant that could easily be dedicated to Grand Budapest Hotel. Also these lateral tops were growing too much compared to the center. In fact, by taking the center's food first, whoever is at the internode below eats first, there is nothing to do and therefore these lateral underlying branches were becoming much taller and more powerful than the center. Solution? Repeated fimming to keep the lateral branches low, which are indeed widening and strengthening, but the center is reaching them to be better aligned. In my opinion it will be wonderful in the end. —— Plant 2 was cleaned of many branches that would have given useless holes and we simply sent it into flowering straight like the others, we need to photograph the main cola of the plants and making them grow straight is more or less the only way. --- Fertilization program - The fertilizers are always Plagron and I am following the table that I generated on the site depending on the chosen substrate. Create your own sheet and follow it, never be presumptuous my friend as I have been in the past, follow the sheet and look at the plants, not all need the same amount of fertilizer. We have reached the point of giving a good dose of iron in the first weeks of flowering on the advice of Plagron directly foliar and I am at the end of the second week of flowering. It had started a bit quietly but now it is proving to be among the best. ---- https://plagron.com/en - Power Roots - 1 ml/l - Alga Bloom - 4 ml/l - Pure Zym - 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1 ml/l - Vita Race - 5 ml/l --- The Plagron 100% Organic pack is available on Zamnesia at: https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457 -pla gron-easy-pack-natural.html --- The dehumidifier now works between 50% and 55% // Site Strain Description // Formidable genetics: These seeds contain the genes of Monster Bud Kush and White Widow. High THC content: With 24%, the effects are pronounced and intense. Fast flowering: This indica-dominant hybrid needs just 8–9 weeks to reach harvest. Excellent yield potential: This plant is very generous, if grown in the right way! - Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10780-zamnesia-seeds-karen-kush.html - Soil and Fertilizers entirely organic --- https://plagron.com/en buy on www.zamnesia.io - Growbox and air sistem --- https://www.secretjardin.com/ - Music and sound --- I made my girls listen to 432hz frequencies and music from www.radionula.com - Light - P2000 - https://www.viparspectra.com - Z --- You can find these seeds, much more from the world of cannabis, mushrooms and an incredible series of accessories and gadgets on the reference site not only mine but of many growers ---- https://www.zamnesia.com

HEY Guys , I've been in a crazy & exciting week really, these contests motivate me to work on my photography and make delicious edibles 😋. after tasting that brownie/muffin everything change!! You guys Can't imagine the damn taste of it. ( I was high about 4hrs after eating a Muffin and there was nothing I could do to chill down a bit Maybe I should pay attention to it's dosage next time.😀 Also Taking Close shots of my buds and my homemade Extraction was really amazing, I enjoyed every minute of it and really worked on them for hours, when I find sth worth it, I always go all in. I put lot of time and effort to the point where I was finally satisfied, with both growing and taking memorable photos of my first grow. All and all, I loved every minute of my time here, made me pay more attention to my ladies, learn from you guys, share sth and have fun. Good Luck to you all & Happy HalloweeD 👻😎

Week 5 for the Green Papayas from super sativa seeds club. Some of the lower leaves are letting us know that the mother plant need a lot more food. we added additional PK booster to her. The clones seems to go a lot better, these buds are bigger also, but happy in general. I still need to get used to all this organic nutrients. Lots of things to learn and a long way to go, always happy to learn new methods of growing! For the rest, as always just water!

Grow Update — GMO Cookies Week 6 from seed | 12/12 from seed Marked as: Week 1 Flower Quick recap for anyone just joining This is a 12/12 from seed run, meaning plants have been grown under a flowering light schedule from day one. Because of that, development doesn’t follow the classic “veg → flip → flower” timeline. Instead, plants express themselves at their own pace, and structure, stretch, and flowering signals appear more organically. Now, in week 6 from seed, there’s no doubt anymore: this GMO Cookies is in flower. ⸻ Current environment (stable & shared across the room) • Temperature: ~27.5 °C • Humidity: ~65% • CO₂: ~900 ppm • PPFD: ~600–850 • Smaller plants: ~600–700 • Taller plants: up to ~800–850 Light intensity is intentionally staggered. Plants are allowed to grow into the photons naturally, rather than forcing a flat PPFD across different genetics and sizes. This helps maintain balance and reduces stress during stretch. ⸻ Root zone & watering • pH: 6.5 • EC: 2.4 • Root / reservoir temperature: ~17 °C Slightly on the cold side, acknowledged. Still within a manageable range, and plants are responding well. ⸻ Nutrition — why the switch happened • Switched from Plagron Terra Grow → Terra Bloom • Following the Plagron feeding schedule • This was the only intentional change As plants clearly entered flower, nitrogen-forward feeding (Terra Grow) was no longer appropriate. The switch to Terra Bloom reflects what the plant is now asking for: 👉 support for stretch, branching, and early flower development. The feeding schedule is being adapted slightly to match uptake speed and plant response, rather than followed blindly. Observation first, bottles second. ⸻ Training & plant behavior Low stress training is ongoing: • Leaf bending • Gentle positioning • No aggressive topping or hard stress The response has been excellent. This GMO Cookies is: • Stretching evenly • Branching beautifully • Forming compact, bushy structures What you see now are little green bushes, with multiple tops forming naturally. Those “little balls” and dense branching patterns are exactly what we want at this stage — it means the plant is distributing energy well and preparing multiple flowering sites. Color is strong, healthy green, with no signs of active stress. ⸻ What this means • Training is working • Environment is dialed • Nutrition is aligned with the plant’s phase • The plant is confident enough to push structure and flower at the same time This is the kind of growth that doesn’t happen by force — it happens when conditions allow it. ⸻ What to expect next week • Continued stretch • Clearer flower formation at branch tips • More defined structure as internodes space out What not to expect • Instant bud stacking • A frozen structure (she’s still moving) • Identical behavior to other genetics in the room Each plant runs its own race. ⸻ Final thoughts & thanks This 8x8 has been a real roller coaster — emotionally, visually, and educationally — and this GMO Cookies is no exception. Watching her respond, adapt, and thrive has been a pleasure. Huge thanks to: • The OGs • The newcomers • The lovers and the haters • The sponsors • The platform • And the community that makes these diaries worth writing It’s truly an honor to share these grows openly.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

So far all plants have been harvested. (3x Bubba Pupil, 1x purple wreck, 1x AK-47, 1x Godberry). The first bubba pupil and AK-47 were harvested a week and a half ago and now have been jarred for 1 week +/- a few days. All pictures are of the bubba pupil and AK. I will come back and update once the other plants have been trimmed. The first Bubba Pupil, which was the tallest of the 3 and most stretched out, yielded exactly 4.5 Oz dry weight. The smell is starting to get stronger after a week. It smells grapey but has a weird funk to it. It must be the “pupil” funk everyone talks about. This plant looked like it wasn’t going to yield much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The lowers were dense and compact which contributed to a good amount of decent sized buds. Overall, I’m pretty pleased with the yield and quality from this plant. The AK-47 seemed like it was going to be a heavier yielder, but it ended up only yielding 2.5 Oz dry. The main colas were far during flower and dense when dried, but this plant had little to no lower quality buds. Everything below the main canopy seemed like it was airy and not worth jarring up. This plant smells a little bit fruity, but I can’t really put my finger on it. Super dank smelling, not skunky, but it smells like it is going to be gaseous once it cures up a bit longer. The Godberry yielded a total of 3.25 Oz. She was the best smelling by far out of all of the girls in the tent. Super fruity and sticky as hell. The resin content on her was definitely the highest of them all. I will be back to update once the last 3 plants are trimmed and jarred for a final weight and overview.

Seed added into root it sponge and directly into a half Liter pot of selfmade living soil..No Salt..only organic materials used for media.. Fight Salt boys✊ ...... 22.4.24: in the evenig the Seed popt out..thank you 420 for the great genetic and thanks to living soil and the Micros for feeding the seed fast and smooth as possible ..thats also the reason i put it directly Into the soil with this root it sponge as puffer zone to prevent root burn by germination....this Methode gives me almost 90 % succes...and a fast start... More pics today 24.4...

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 13/12/2019 - Change the light schedule to 12-12h after 8 weeks of no signs of flowering I think is a photo not and auto. 16/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each: Grow, Bloom and Max, and 1ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed about 10% run off, I use about 1/3 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 200/300PPM (500 scale). 17/12/2019 - Did some defoliation on the lower branches mainly.

Day 64 - Starting another week and she’s definitely frosting up pretty nicely. He being closer to the light is also helping her fatten up quite a bit. She’s looking amazing! She will be getting another two gallons of water either Sunday or Monday. Day 65 - She’ll be needing some water for sure tomorrow and will give her another light defoliation as well, some of the fan leaves are getting huge and blocking light. Day 66 - Should of gave her some water and nutes yesterday because she was seriously droopy today. She took another 2 gallons of water so she should be perked back up in a couple hours. Other than that, she is frosting up beautifully. Day 67 - She’s really been bulking up lately and she’s perked up after getting some water and nutes yesterday. Did a little defoliating today to get some of the giant leaves off and out of the way. She’s definitely still got a few weeks left so will continue feeding her nutes, at leas for the next couple of feedings and then see where she’s at. Day 68 - All still looks great and starting to smell kinda fruity. Other than that, just watching her chug along everyday. She’ll need some water on Friday. Day 69 - A lot of trichs are really clouding up and everything is looking great with this girl. She’s gonna have nice, fat and dense buds and can’t wait to harvest this girl. Will be giving her some water and nutes tomorrow, the pot is starting to get pretty light. Day 70 - She got her next feeding of nutes today. I thought she could probably go another day but last time I did that, she was really droopy so trying to avoid that.

This week the GMO cookies started to bounce back fast an hard from the leaf strip. At the start of the week all 3 girls got 1tsp of grow an bloom from roots organic dry amendments along with a feed of elemental at every watering at 1/4tsp per gallon of RO water. Add half 1/4tsp of dynomyco to the water also for some of that extra root support. Other then that slight adjustment on the tie downs an just letting the one on the right side just do her thing. Thanks for viewing an happy growing mates!

Plants are doing well. the Psychosis is catching up I've taking a video of my room too show the inside a bit better. Noticing some issues with my room set up. The 2" air stones are making too much noise at random points of the day/week. I assume the stones move slightly and cause a rattle noise when the stone is at a certain angle *** ill update this week more today after I have been to the hydroponic shop to pick up a few things Having some issues with the 2"airstones. Due to screeching and rattling. The let the perfect amount of air out for my 19l pots but the noise isn't worth it. Here is and 18" air curtain. Super silent and works great. I bought 30" curtains too.. They let even more air out and form around the pot better 👍

On the final stretch. Bug issues seem to be under control. All plants were flushed last week. This lady had 9l of dechlorinated water @6.8 pass through her. Checked pH in the run off and was spot on. All the buds are very dense. The way I have trained her has meant rather the some tall colas I have lots of smaller along the same branch as I kept the canopy wide and flat. I can't believe it's been this long! I started this grow after seeing @silky_smooth doing amazing art. So I decided to main line and train 16 colas.. second grow and probably way too ambitious. I have learned so much from her taking 4 clones and finding my way with my nutes. I hope I have not failed her or the great genetics Barney's Farm have produced. I had a vision of what I wanted her to look like and I feel I got what I set out for. Lessons learned. Slow down on nutes. Less is more sometimes! Plastic pots suck ass... At least 25l ones do. If I ever grow in this pot again I will amend my substrate as the drainage seemed way off with just biobizz light mix. Lights... 100% on the dimmer is not always best..(thanks @Mrs_Larimar) Bugs... They are bastards and I will start to feed nematodes into my final pot each grow from now on. And lots more.... We will keep her on water for the rest of this week then I will leave her to what's left for the last week. Thanks for looking if you managed to read this far thanks. Stay safe😷😷 Happy grows🌿🌱🌿
