-----IMAGES & VIDEOS-----
V1 - Transplanting day. I'm using 10 l Aeropots as final recipient. I've used:
- Small layer of ATAMI HydroRokz (perlite) at the bottom of the pot, just for cover bottom holes and to retain a bit of humidity
- Over the perlite i placed 1l of mixture with BioBizz "All Mix" and Volcanic Soil
- Again over, 1l of mixture with BioBizz "Light Mix" + Volcanic Soil & Guano
- And filled the rest with BioBizz "Light Mix" + Volcanic Soil
It's the second time that i broke half of the roots of a plant doing a transplant, It happened to me just for not being careful enough to hold the soil by the lower part. While this is no good, no further signs of that mistake other than the recorded video ;).
V2 - Quick show up on how to correct the color of photos taken under red/ping/purple light.
First I merge the HDR image from 3 bracketed shots, then I apply my custom color adjustment in the HDR resulting image.
As i show in the video, to correct the red light, you have to enhance the blue and green curves, just play with a point in the curves until you find the best adjustment for each of both curves. Then you should go to tones, and play a bit with reds, pinks & purples... and.... Voilá, you can see the results, easy and effective..... but no more easy than using the right white spectrum.

P7 - Volcanic soil and Guano
-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
This week was very easy, i didn't do anything to these babies apart from the transplant. This is the first time im mixing something with the soil, I hope not to overfeed the Cookies with the nutes, as i'm going to use the same nutrients i was using.
The first 10 days they were growing in my 60x60x40 tent (DP60), with a terrible chinese light that i always use the first week wen I plant.
PandaGrow 100W (50W draw) - http://www.pdgrow.com/index.php?m=Show&a=index&cid=12&id=53
So after transplanting when i place the plans under the Quantum Board or the Platinum LED, i've notice it on them immediately, they really don't like this kind of chinese lights.
Thus after the transplant the plants has started to grow and wide much more and much quickly.
-----WATERING CALENDAR-----
12/09/19 DAY 11 - 1,5 l after transplant with all week nutrients @ 0.8 EC & PH5.8
*****ESPAÑOL*****
-----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS-----
V1 - Día de transplante. Transplantaré a AeroPots de 10 l. Para el transplante he usado:
- Una capa pequeña de ATAMI HydroRokz (perlita) en el fondo de los tiestos, sólo para cubrir los agujeros y retener un pelín de humedad.
- Encima de la perlita he puesto 1 l de mezcla de BioBizz "All-Mix" con tierra volcánica
- De nuevo encima he puesto otro litro de mezcla de BioBizz "Light-Mix" con guano y tierra volcánica
- El resto está relleno con una mezcla de BioBizz "Light-Mix" con tierra volcánica
Es la segunda vez que se me parter unas raíces por la mitad en un transplante, eso me pasa por no ser lo suficientemente cuidadoso como para agarrar el sustrato por su parte baja. Esto no es algo bueno, pero he de admitir que aparte del mal rato de que se te partan las raíces, a la planta no le sucede nada de nada, sigue creciendo al mismo ritmo que su hermana.
V2 - Un ejemplo rápido de como corregir la iluminación de una foto tomada bajo un espectro rosado o rojizo
En el vídeo primero compilo el HDR compuesto de 3 fotografías horquilladas y una vez compilado le aplico mi ajuste de color.
Como muestro en el vídeo, para corregir este tipo de luces hay que realzar las curvas de color azul y verde, simplemente con un punto por encima de la mitad de la línea media hasta encontrar los puntos más adecuados para tu luz. una vez encontrados, sólo hay que ir a los tonos y ajustar un poquito el rojo, rosa y morado.
P1 - Muestra de las Cookies antes del transplante
P7 - Tierra volcánica y Guano
-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
Esta semana ha sido muy sencilla, no les he hecho absolutamente nada a las pequeñas a parte del transplante. Esta es la primera vez que mezclo algo con el sustrato y espero no sobrealimentar las cookies ya que voy a seguir usando los mismos nutrientes que he usado con anterioridad y de la misma manera.
Los primeros 10 días han crecido en mi tienda de 60x60x40 (DP60), con una luz china terrible:
PandaGrow 100W (50W draw) - http://www.pdgrow.com/index.php?m=Show&a=index&cid=12&id=53
Siempre uso esa luz los primeros días de cada cultivo, por lo que al cambiarlas a la Quantum o al Platinum LED lo noto al toque, realmente no les gusta nada la luz china esa, inmediatamente se ponen a crecer y ensanchar mucho mas.
-----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO-----
12/09/19 DÍA 11 - 1,5 l después del transplante con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.8 EC & PH5.8

3/4 👍
3/5🍓🦍Z🍓🍑CBD they are all responding well to the watering yesterday and I used great white soil inoculant that seems to make the biggest difference. The leaves are growing huge almost too big. I can see these are going to be much larger than the space, even though I only used 2 gallon pots. i’m going to have to top them all in order to fit them in one tent. They are just beautiful and healthy and perfect in every way except for the CBD because I dropped her when I was doing the transplant. 👍.
3/6 I mixed up 3 mL of silica into a gallon three separate times. I did a heavy watering of all the plants today.💦
3/7🍓🍑👍
3/9 🍓🍑💦💦💦

Hello Tokers and Growers!
Welcome to another great Indica adventure!
Some of you already know I love me some Indica. 😁
My current favorite Indica is Cream Caramel from Sweet Seeds but I decided to try something new this run.
Sweet Zenzation (SWS84) also from Sweet Seeds.
She's my only Indica dominant cultivar in the tent so I'll be taking extra care of this one.
Strain characteristics:
Sweet Zenzation derives from a cross between an elite clone of Zkittlez combined with a specially selected Grape Ape clone, which is one of the strains used to develop the original Zkittlez.
The result is a predominantly indica genetic hybrid. It produces a large amount of resin-soaked flowers. It is both relaxing and stress-relieving, yet it also stimulates the imagination and conversation, an effect that is normally associated with sativa strains.
The flowers have a high terpene content, an exquisite aroma and sweet taste, with hints of fruit flavoured candies, hardwood undertones, shades of lemon, cypress and subtle aromatic peppers.
Variety SWS84
Genetics: Zkittlez x Grape Ape
Type: Feminized
Indica: 70% / Sativa: 30%
THC: 16-23% · CBD: 0,2%
Indoor Yield: 450-650 g/m2
Outdoor Yield: 400-700 g/plant
Indoor Blooming: 9 weeks
Outdoor Harvest: late September, early October
Expectations & Training method:
First time growing this strain but Sweet Seeds have always given me sweet and savory yields so I’m guessing this one won’t be any different.
Genetics are promising some tasty terps, I’m the aroma will blow me away.
Indica dominant so I’ll be trying to make a bud packed bush out of these.
Haven’t quite decided what training technique to go with either LST or TOP and just a bit of LST adjusting the colas.
That’ll depend on how I see the growth up until the training day. As for yield I’m aiming for at least 50g each plant.
Equipment used in this cycle:
Tent: Dutch Masters 120x240x220cm
Lights:
1 x Mars Hydro TSW2000
1 x Mars Hydro FC3000
Ventilation:
Garden HighPro - ProFan TT Extractor Fan - 150mm
Garden Highpro - ProActiv Carbon Filter - 150mm
Garden Highpro - ProFan Oscilating Clip Fans - 25cm
Blauburg - Inline Fan - 125mm
Humidifier:
Garden Highpro - Humipro Digital Humidifier - 4 liters
Pots: Garden Highpro 11L Fabric pots
Medium: Biobizz Light Mix
Nutrients:
Grotek - Mycrorizo
Plagron- Alga grow, Alga Bloom, green sensation and royal sugar.
PH down
Calmag
Measuring instruments:
Hygrometer/Thermometer - Govee:
EC Meter - HM Digital: COM-80S Hydrotester
PH Meter - Vanguard Hydroponics
Happy Growing!

Very happy this week as my friend gave me a female Mac x Purple Punch he was using as a mother plant. That is in an 18 litre soil pot. The 3 Rado Z are now in 15 l autopots fitted with airdomes. A soil mix was made with dutch vega bio soil , Bio grow and silicium flash. The MacPunch I have stripped the lowers and trained it using easy bend clips.

Bud wet weight : 168,1g of trimmed medium to big sized buds
25,4g of tiny tiny buds/larfs = 193.5 grams of trimmed wet buds.
Details on genetics and smoke report above.
This, as my first grow, is way more than I ever expected it to be. I haven´t had that much fun and enthusiasm in a very very long time.
I can´t even explain the feeling it is to harvest your own cannabis, but I know most of you know what I´m talking about haha.
It was really nice to practice LST, even tho it was SO HARD, ´cause I didn´t had barely any space to work since I used a hard pot and did not fill nearly half the size of it and the walls of the pot were really high. It was even difficult to water without dropping water on the lower buds.
I haven´t learnt much about defoliation tho, I feel I need to study a little more about the phases you should or should not do it.
Also, I discovered thrips are a pain in the ass. I had 2 tough weeks dealing with thrips, but in the end it was alright.
I don´t have any humidity control device, which I intend to buy for the next grows.
Growdiaries was really helpful for me, it kept me motivated everyday (not that I wouldn´t have had it anyways), the Grow Questions are REALLY useful and all the community is awesome. Thanks to all people that helped me here on GD during this first grow!
To conclude it: I am really happy and satisfied with how the grow turned out. They look incredible, it almost feels like I can´t believe it still.
Peace.
UPDATES:
07/10 : The buds are now dry and already in curing jars, one of them with a Boveda 58% humidity pack.
The total grams of the dry buds are: 41.4g (medium to big sized buds)
4.1g (tiny buds) = 45.5 grams!
I´m really happy with the results, I thought it would be around 30g so yeah, that´s a really good surprise!
In 2 weeks I´ll be back to update the smoke report.
Thanks so much for reading! Peace.
09/10 : I managed to fit everything in the same container with some space between them, so now every bud is with the Boveda pack.
14/10: It´s been a week and the smell improved, it still smells a little like hay/plant ( even tho it´s not too dry neither too wet ).
21/10: Now it´s been two weeks and even tho the smell isn´t anymore hay, it´s a lot herbal. I really think the aroma can get better, but the taste is already good enough for me. The smoke report has been done and in case I have something to add, I´ll report here.
Thank you so much for reading! Peace.

I repotted one plant of unknown origin, but I’ve removed it from the tent because it’s totally different to the others, I think this is the seed I found in a bag of weed I’d bought locally but she wasn’t growing well and all her stems and stalks were like rhubarb, anyway the others are all at different heights and stages I think, the tallest being 40 inches and very spread out stems the next is 26 inch, then 19 and 14 inch!! I’m not sure what stage they are and I have noticed they are wilting slightly, I topped up the soil as the roots were showing, I’m only giving them 1ml floral gro per 1 litre water, I really don’t want them to fail now I’ve got this far!!
It’s difficult keeping the lights even as the plants are different sizes, if anyone can have a look at the photos and let me know what stage you think they’re at I’d be grateful

Day 2 of week 8 - Sunday 11th October
Nutes in today, all looking good and pistils still coming through nicely.. Girls will need a bit of lower defoliation again but will wait till later this week..
UPDATE: Day 4 of week 8 Tuesday 13th October:
More LST and defoliation today, pistils looking so lovely 😊! Nutes in as usual. Defo beginning to stretch so LST is proving a little tougher to do as the stems are getting much stronger now.. May have to abandon metal spikes and start tying down to the sides of the fabric pots. Things are moving much faster now and water intake in increasing too. Happy days!
UPDATE: Day 6 of week 8 Thursday 15th Oct
Nutes in and a little more LST. Really peeved as I bent the main stem a little too hard on one of the girls and she had a slight crease in the stem now 🤬... I hope this doesn’t affect her growth or that I loose the main cola.. But it’s too late to change it now so keeping my fingers crossed that she’s as hardy as a I think she is.. Only time will tell. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Enjoying this project immensely 😍❤️

Transplant day!!!!
Transplanted my 5 Purple lemonade ladies from solo cups, to 5 gallon grow bags! Today is day 14 and they had a fantastic root system. (Attached a photo).
I am running FFOF this run, with 20% perlite added to the mix. I will not be running any nutes until probably week 5, as fox farms comes ready to go. This will be my first run with Ocean forest. My normal medium is Cocoloco by bushdoctor.
I top dressed these girls with around 2 inches of cocoloco from a previous grow, to keep the gnats and bugs down. They dont mess with the cocoloco, I'm in Hope's that the couple inches of that on top will help with this also.
They will veg under a 4ft, 8 bulb T5 Light.

Another pretty solid week in the books on these girls. I did have my first real issue though and totally my fault. I have been topping with a mix of nutrients and just plain RO water and have not been adding in my calmag to the RO water and a few leaves showed some signs of deficiencies but I think I have corrected the issue pretty quickly. I may be adding a second trellis because these girls are growing like crazy, I am very glad I put the net up when I did, spreading these girls out and providing some support seems like it was 100% needed. I am still learning and figuring out what and when to defoliate and remove some things. I did a bit of defoliation on Friday and tried to clean up the bottoms of these girls a bit under the net. I know I am going to need another round of that, but I will give them a few more days to recover. I am still keeping the nutrient strength relatively low and seems to be working out just fine. My environment, temps, rh, and water temps are all staying in pretty ideal conditions. Grow seems to be going well, just need more experience and practice with training and defoliation, but its been a blast!
As always, any tips, comments, and recommendations always welcomed and appreciated! Thanks!👊👊

The nutrient measurements are for week 7 this week they just got PH water at 2 liters. She’s a beautiful plant!!! Her colors are amazing!!! The inner part of the flower is like a deep blackberry color and the inner parts of the sugar leaves are as well. Amazing plant!!! I have 2 more beans of her and want to do one in a 5 gallon and see how she does just don’t have the space at the minute. She will get one more feeding in 3 days time and then on to her flush.

Good week of fattening up and the last week of feeding done she’s getting a flush for the next week and cropping on Boxing Day . An absolute dream to grow , she’s handled temps well above 35c not one drama the entire grow . I’ve been smoking this flat out the last week and it’s a top smoke , full berry taste and an almighty stone that last for ages , best thing is there’s about a pound of it to smoke . Merry Christmas to me

I am on so many learning curves right now with this grow and keeping diaries. It is a trip and I'm loving the journey. This Gorilla Glue is showing signs of the end of life and milky trichomes. I thought she'd be ready second but she's in the lead for harvest of the three. Can't wait to see what next week brings!

Week 6 (6-3 to 12-3)
6-3
Temperature: 27.6 degrees (lights on) 19.4 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 61% (highest) 40% (lowest)
Watering: None.
7-3
Temperature: 27.1 degrees (lights on) 19.6 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 52% (highest) 39% (lowest)
At the beginning of the day i made a 15L feed and gave both plants a 1.5L topfeed, and i removed some leaves underneath the canopy.
Later that day I installed the AutoPot reservoir and attached all hoses to the pots and reservoir.
The airpump is connected aswell, and on a 18/6 timer.
I added the remaining 9L to the reservoir and turned on the system.
At the end of the day i added another 15L to the reservoir.
The light is at 80% with an distance of 45/50 cm. LUX: 24.000 / 26.000
8-3
Temperature: 26.1 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 54% (highest) 40% (lowest)
In the midday i turned off the reservoir, and at the end of the day the AutoPots were dry.
I installed a SCROG net aswell that i bought a couple of days ago.
The holes of the net are too big, so i will order another one with smaller holes, but for now i will use the bigger one.
I disconnected the 18/6 timer of the airpump, so now it runs 24/7 on full power.
I checked the PH of the reservoir and it went up to 6.3, so thats quite high, i added some PH- to 6.0
Light is at 50 cm. LUX: 23.000 / 24.000
9-3
Temperature: 26.3 degrees (lights on) 19.7 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 50% (highest) 41% (lowest)
10-3
Temperature: 26.7 degrees (lights on) 19.4 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 59% (highest) 43% (lowest)
No pictures.
The reservoir was getting empty, so i turned it off.
11-3
Temperature: 26.6 degrees (lights on) 19.4 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 58% (highest) 47% (lowest)
Added 15L to the reservoir.
12-3
Temperature: 25.9 degrees (lights on) 19.2 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 58% (highest) 46% (lowest)
No pictures.
