A few of the zed blacks hermed..spreading pollen into the flower tent. Already seeing some seeds develop. It is what it is. I should have done a better job checking on them. I kept the Zed blacks that only had a couple flowers on the bottom but tossed anything that had flowers growing up the majority of the plant. Some of the most famous strains in the world were self pollinated so I don't have issues with a couple male flowers. They're just trying to improve their fitness as nature intended. The plants are doing very well. A few of the bottom leaves are dying which is normal...senecense! Sucking up those nutrients. I've been liquid feeding using the fish, seaweed, humate and recharge. I have saved the males and they are trying to reveg. Still popping out a few flowers which I'm cutting off. 1 rainbow belt. 1 zed black. 3 hash plants The hash plants are smelling incredible. Definitely a few keepers mixed in here. Maybe 3/7. Hopefully the quality of the flower backs it up. Zed blacks have 2/3 I'm interested in. One is very very low yield. Unless its a really high quality plant I'm gonna toss it Rainbow belts are both smelling ridiculous. Super frosty. Good yield. One is slightly more frosted than the other. The zkittles pheno has pure Skittles smell with a little lemon cleaner chem to back it up. Probably my keeper!

8 weeks down and starting week 9. At the end of week 9 I’ll chop the blueberry and leave the death bubba for another 2 or so. Trichomes are still a bit clear on the blueberry

Off to the races after the first week of veg. And the girls are looking good. They had about 24-48 hours of transplant shock but have since turned over and look perky. They never fully transitioned and all of em look like they’re turning back around. Definitely starting to see some pheno variation on one of the indicas (F6) - trademark from the Skywalker 100%. A light bluish/purpleish hue on the fan leaves. We’ll see what happens over the next week then probably just pick a day and flip. We don’t need em huge - just big enough to show off dem buds. On the hardware side of this grow, the mods to the dutchy system look to be working well. It just makes plant management easier with a full trough drain as opposed to individual drainage holes. Really, the system isn’t a concern for the most part. It’s proven time and time again how manageable a recirc system can truly be. Scaling down to smaller pots and more plants has also been a revelation of sorts around here. We used to grow monsters and now the aim is strictly proportional yields across a wider array of genetics. Been a great trip so far🤟. Couple more boring weeks of veg. And as soon as the breeding tent is cleaned up and pollen free - it’s go for blast-off👍. Background This cycle of clones represents all the potential of this F1 line of WalkerBerry OG. Bred by myself over the last couple of years. This genetic shows excellent hybrid vigour, incredibly stable nutrition requirements to date and an eclectic mix of long and short internodal spacing bu specimen. We know we have indica and sativa dominant traits spread evenly across the 6 available clones. Now it’s just a matter of seeing them run out under controlled and pollen free conditions. We’ve labelled each plant and it’s resulting seed accordingly. Once we get to the F2 run, we’ll hopefully be able to isolate down to 2-3 phenos if the bud is any good. From there, who knows. It’d be great to get to a finished, stable generation that would be fem worthy but that could be a very long way off. For now - we’ll focus on this line and see where it goes🤞🤞.

As the grow is overcoming the loss of Eleven Roses, the space on the net is being distributed with the other strains. the other advantage, is that the text pot can be used by the other plants of the ground to colonize( i checked that the mass root is connected between pouchs. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ADDITION as now i have the space , is a 100w flat Panel in a vertical like distribution to reinforce low & mid branchs as i suppose this was the reason some plants died. There is a bit of nute burn from the last foliar sprays before its too risky as it can summon mold , but not acute enough to slow down plant bud formation. I will keep using barrier but rather wathering than spray in order to contain plagues, but it can also help a bit on flowering pecause it's high potassium level. The Flowering Food is based on Hesi Boost, Top Candy and Top Bloom, a pretty basic sugar based scheme, but i preffer to not use much products and stick with the neccesary ones ( according to my criteria) Kind Regards

Impregnation complete, it's a little later than I would like to have seen it happen but I'll roast the plants for an extra week minimum to make up for it. The smell coming off these plants is hard to pinpoint at the moment I'll have to reassess as they grow larger and really start to stank up the place.. All in all a very good week!

Ce fut un véritable plaisir que de grow cette WCC de FB42. Le rendement est au rendez-vous :) dans 10+/- je vous ferai le rapport sur les effets le goût etc. Et merci à la communauté growdiaries.com ! 07/26: je viens juste de sécher une petite bud au micro-ondes et 5 étoiles je suis ko 😨😱😄 07/28: j'ai récupéré un ptit g de Polen en mettant les feuilles sucrière dans un pot une fois séchées. Ensuite je met le pot ds le réfrigérateur 1h et puis je secoue et le Polen se récupère au fondébut du pot. Après faut être un peu inventif pour séparer le mieux possible le polen du reste des feuilles. Bon y a plus qu'a rouler un bon pétard :) Smoke report: Après 6 jours de séchage j'ai choisis quelques petites buds déjà sèche +/- 0.6g alors la fumée est douce c'est plus un goût crémeux que fromages que j'ai en bouche avec un petit goût poivré en arrière goût qui doit provenir d''un manque de curing.... Les effets: fort très fort :) 2 pétard et bim au fond du divan on verra demain pour le reste en emoticons ça donne ça >> 🤯😏😴 08/04: résultats 47.4gr de weed sèche. Après quelques heures dans une jare et colle déjà pire que de la GG#4. Je compte bien en recultiver ! 08/10: après 1 semaines de curing c'est déjà autre chose. Au niveau du goût: plus se côté âpre, c'est de plus en doux et agréable par contre ma bouche est de plus en sèche et la def vas avec elle augmente au plus le curing avance. Si j'avais du stock je le permettrait des curing de un mois minimum enfin ça viendra je vais investir un troisième box et de nouvel lumière :D

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!

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

Plants aren't growing very fast and roots were kind of slimy. I found that my reservoir temps were getting high so I began to use frozen water bottles to cool the reservoir.

Get your drool ready, these little flowers are already making your mouth water after just 4 weeks of flowering. It's a marvel, a thousand shades of purple and an immense quantity of resin. The already a lot of resin in the 4th week actually seems to have come out at the same time as the use of Plagron's turbo additives. I've always been a little skeptical about additives but I have to change my mind as soon as I put Sugar Royal on the sugar really came out. Power Buds and the mythological Green Sensation did the rest. This week I will only show you the plant processed with just one topping while we will leave the one grown straight for the next few weeks. Gnam Gnam Biscotti parfum! Food by Plagron >> Plagron - Alga Bloom > 4ml/l Plagron - CalMag pro > 1ml/l Plagron - Sugar Royal > 1ml/l Plagron - Green Sensation 1ml/l Plagron - Power Buds 1 ml/l >> SOLUTION PH - 6.2 Love Italian name of the strain, several crazy people but a lot of style. Thanks you America for this. >>> https://www.zamnesia.io/it/9484-zamnesia-seeds-biscotti.html Plagron is a guarantee in feeding your little ones >>> https://plagron.com/en >>> Music of the week >> Radio Nula from Slovenia > https://radionula.com/ "I can see the light" >>> https://marshydro.eu/negozio/?lang=it ***Sorry sometimes write like an animal.

Hi! First of all, this is my first time in my life. I planted 2 different kind of plants one is autoflowering (Gelato Cookie D'ohpe), Gelato Cookie Doh-ope Auto By Dr Krippling Seeds Gelato Cookie Doh-ope Auto. Ground breaking genetics have gone into the Triple G range. Grand Heft Auto’s genetics main characteristics is its big composition, and heavy yields. Whilst stabilizing their specially selected Girl Scout Cookies strain with the GHA a number of times, they also crossed this with an amazing Gelato Auto. GGG3’s fruits are ripe with aroma’s and flavor. Yields are approximately 80 gr/plant and the aroma from these flowers are special. The taste from these dense, sticky buds are sure to have you coming back time after time for more of this great tasting flower. The other one is feminized (Purple Punch). Purple Punch Feminized Seeds By Barney’s Farm. Purple Punch Feminized Seeds are a 90% indica dominant hybrid. with a combined lineage of Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple this genetic is capable of an indoor yield of up too 700g/m2. Expect aromas of Baked Apple Pie as well as Cherry and caramelised Blueberries. Also expect a short bushy plant with great trichome production and a THC count of 25%. This high yielding, high THC hybrid is an all-round quality genetic with a fast harvest window of 50 to 60 days. Yet another great addition to Barney’s Farms Cali Connection Range. I started counting my day from the day I started germination. 2 different seeds, one is autoflowering (Gelato Cookie D'ohpe) and the other one is feminized from The Bakery Co. called Purple Punch. I started germination by putting them to the water for 12 hours in the evening on Sunday. After twelve hours I put them between paper towels. It started sprouting very quick, the next day I needed to put them to the soil. Purple Punch the feminized one started growing faster, bigger sprout, compare to the autoflowering Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. I started using a 60 W led lamp for the seedling stage this lamp has 2 head 30-30W that was divided for the two plants 30 W each. The next day they came out of the soil and started their life. The Purple Punch was growing faster. First, I had my own made place made of kitchen foil under my computer desk :D, and then I purchased a grow tent which is 140x60x60. I did not use any ventilation the first week and kept the humidity 85-90 percent, and I used trigger spray on the plant also. Watering the first 7 days was 10 ml in the morning and after 12 hours later also 10ml, so every morning and evening 20ml a day. I also used trigger spray to keep the soil wet around and sprayed the plant also. I never use tap water at any stage I buy still water from the shop and they love it. I want 100 percent organic plants so my nutrition will be bat guano mix with acacia honey. My soil mix is Coco coir, perlite mix 70:30 which is mixed with a soil that consists of 20% sphagnum peat moss, 35% garden peat, 10% high-quality organic Worm-Humus, 30% perlite, and 5% Pre-Mix. These two kinds of soil ratio are 50-50 Percent.

GENERAL COMMENT. So the RQS STRESS KILLER AUTO is down. Now we have the NL to manoeuvre and try to keep her alive for the final flush. RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO COMMENT. Many but slim colas emerged, showing extreme spotting and deficiencies, but gained weight since last week and started turning purple, first time that happens. So now the final flush started and hope, afraid taste could be off, because of the problems i ran in with her, probably a good strain to considere light feeding, the smell is very gentle, a good strain to do stealth. 10-14 day to go! Yield could be amazing but will be common because of the locks, nothing out of the curve in my opinion, something to retry and correct to deal with this strain. Not turned on or off by her just feeling neutral and glad she made it. Trichomes wise she is just ready, mostly cloudy, she will finish with some amber will do a nice sleeping aid. Trim job will be a pain on this one because i will clean all the small affected spotted leaves.

Welcome to week 4 of flower!!! I expect the ladies to slow right down in the stretch and start to focus on fattening up those flower sites. The plants have been going hard since day 1 of flower and I expect they will continue to go hard until the very end! Huge shout outs to @MarsHydroLED and Hidden Vault Genetics for their outstanding work on gear and genetics that make growing a blast! HUGE shout outs go to all my followers and people who stop into the diary alike! Keep on giving out those positive vibes! Follow along and stay tuned wont be long now till we got monster flowers! -The Projexx Day#22F Ladies continue to stretch along , MacMelonz still has some stretch time on her. Day#23F Pictures N/A. Some of the plants are beginning to focus on thickening up their flower sites! Day#24F Ladies are still stretching it out , some are almost 4 feet tall now! Day#25F Banana Smoothie is throwing off the wildest Banana Cream terpenes, the other plants are starting to throw smell too but not as hard as Banana Smoothie. Day#26F Lots of the flower tops are starting to put on mass now. Day#27F Pictures N/A. Creamy Cereal is deff pumping milk and fruit terpenes now. Day#28F Ladies are just cruising along and mostly starting to focus on flowers now. MacMelonz will still stretch for a week or so. Recap: Things went really well this week , the ladies are absolutely exploding and starting to put on mass. With 6-7 weeks left it will be quite exciting to see the end results and the terpene profiles of each plant! Overall really happy and cant wait to see what next week brings!

Day 43: stretch phase is over, she grew fast in last week from 28 cm to 45 cm in just a 7 days. Now she's focused on fattening up her buds! I decided to feed her every other watering instead of every watering, but Cal-mag is must for every waterings! HST - Supercroping at day 47: these nodes went too high, so i did the thing! Please don't repeat this at home xD Day 48 plant seems okay, 2 of supercroped nodes are coming back! 3rd will be back soon as well! This plant can take any stress! This is the last day of the week, next few weeks we will see some flower bulking action😁

The Ladys are now in their last week and only going to be flushed without nutrients till harvest
