Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day! I gave the Blue Cheese a trim on 5th december and gave her four days of darkness, the chop was performed on december 9th I took a lot of photographs and videos commemorating these events for you to enjoy :) I think she came out quite decent especially considering that she had some monster/deformed leaves till the 4th week of veg. also looking back I should have moved her to the bigger place in that time...she would be far more symmetrical ;) It was a joy to work with Mars Hydro and their equipment in this grow. A big thanks to the Mars Hydro team for this opportunity, you truly provide first class grow kits and lamps. That's all i have for you till the drying & curing process is over I will update then. I want to thank you all for accompanying me in this journey, all the likes and comments...You growmies make me feel here at GD at home thank you 🙌👊😇

Blütewoche 3 – Radikale Entlaubung & Pflanzenpflege Zeitraum: Vom 05. Juni bis 12. Juni Zu Beginn dieser Woche habe ich mich an eine großflächige Entlaubung gemacht, da sich das Blätterdach der Pflanze sehr üppig entwickelt hatte. Diesmal war es ein richtiger Radikalschnitt – es ging ordentlich Blattmasse verloren. Ziel war, mehr Licht an die unteren Triebe zu bringen und die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern. Um der Pflanze bei der Regeneration unter die Arme zu greifen, habe ich 6 Liter Wasser mit EM1 (Effektive Mikroorganismen) gegossen, um das Bodenleben zu stärken und die Pflanze vital zu halten. Verlust von Trieben: Leider sind mir beim Entlauben drei Äste abgebrochen. Zwei davon haben es nicht überlebt – eine jedoch hat sich erstaunlicherweise wieder erholt. Trotz des Verlusts konnte ich keine ernsthafte Beeinträchtigung der Gesamtstruktur erkennen. Beobachtung möglicher Mangelerscheinung: Zwischenzeitlich sah es kurzzeitig nach einem leichten Mangel aus. Blätter wurden von innen heller, am äußeren Rand dunkler, und wölbten sich etwas nach innen. Doch schon einen Tag später sah die Pflanze wieder völlig normal aus, also alles im grünen Bereich. Wurmhotel & Spezialfutter für die Würmer: Um das Bodenleben zusätzlich zu fördern, habe ich meinen Würmern etwas hochwertiges Wurmfutter gegönnt, bestehend aus: - gemahlenem Pilznährmalz - Kälbmehl - Neemcake - Algenkalk - Naturpur Grieß Davon streue ich wöchentlich eine Hand voll über die Erde sowie gezielt in die Wurmhotels. Und siehe da, zwei Tage später war alles restlos verschwunden! Die Würmer waren deutlich aktiv und sichtbar am Futtern. Sehr erfreulich zu sehen, wie lebendig und gesund das Mikrobiom im Boden ist. Allgemeiner Zustand & Wachstum: Im weiteren Verlauf der Woche habe ich die Äste weiter nach außen gezogen, um die Fläche optimal auszunutzen. Durch die Entlaubung kam nun spürbar mehr Licht an die unteren Bereiche, die Triebe entwickelten sich prächtig und schossen sichtbar in die Höhe. Maße am Ende der Woche: Breite: ca. 65 cm Höhe: ca. 15 cm Blütenentwicklung: Die Pflanze befindet sich jetzt klar in der Anfangsphase der Blüte. Die Blütenansätze sind deutlich sichtbar und zeigen ein gleichmäßiges, gesundes Wachstum. Die Pflanze wirkt insgesamt sehr vital und kräftig. Bis zur nächsten Woche!

This week I followed the same feeding schedule as the previous week for the first half, and today I started the flush. Harvest is expected in the next 3–4 days. The plant is clearly reaching the end of its life cycle, and with the flush I want to support it through this final phase, as it has already reached its maximum potential in terms of yield. The aroma is strong, fruity, and floral, with a scent that strongly resembles melon. The buds are rock-hard and extremely resinous. Very impressive genetics from Zamnesia. Visually, it's a rich green with purple and pink hues. I’m really looking forward to trying it.

Seems their all adapting pretty well.. Black Sugar and Gelato moving slow but still moving. Other two seem to be moving little quicker.

6/30 I messed up and put 8 days last week so I'll have tp do a six day week to get back on schedule. Pounded rain last night I guess. Very intense but very brief. As you can see in the video the plants are found great. A few have revegged so I'll need to defoliate the middle. I could make a TON of clones but it's pretty late for that. I might clone a couple outstanding plants to keep the genetics. Still seeing some pillar damage. Might do bt tonight. I'll keep this updated. 7/1 Super hot yesterday. Reached 90°. We are getting SOME rain today and thunder showers day after tomorrow. Bags still had some heft and everything looked good. I went back aroundcand found about half were at the point of needing water. He'll, they probably all did. My watering can is 2 gallons not 1.5 as advertised. So that means I used 5 gallons on the garden (not watering the 50) focusing the more water on the lightest bags. That tenth planet I'm seeing more septoria like leaves. This makes enough for me to be fairly positive ill need to treat it. I have plant doctor but I think copper works better. I also see more pillar damage so I've gotta apply something. I also need to lst more and I keep to clean put the interior of the plants so they don't get pm. EDIT: IT WAS 80° and no rain at 6:30. Humidity close to 100% bit plants look AMAZING! I'm hoping this may be my best year yet! I won't grow a bigger plant than tjat blue cheese in the 50 but so far everything is looking good. I may add some nutes to the pink kush in the 50 due to tje slightly less green color. I assume it's just because the other soil is all New amd this was a mix. I defoliated lightly to prevent pm but I have more to do. I just wanted to get a video of the girls looking good. 7/2 82° at 9am. Glad I decided to water even thoughvi watered yesterday. I need to up my volume. Thirty degree temp swings don't help much either. I said I used 4 gals but I used 5. I had one phed already. I'm hoping this will be one of my best years. IT looks like it! I won't have that MONSTER blue cheese in the 50. It was the smallest plant anyway and shows the difference between using NEW soil and mixing old soil WITH new soil. It's a much lighter green. Still need to apply bt and do a little more defoliation. EDIT: IT'S 90° WITH LIKE 100% RH. PLANTS LOOK A LITTLE HEAT STRESSED BUT OTHERWISE PRETTY DAMN GOOD. EVEN MY FATHER MENTIONED (KNOCK ON WOOD) "THAT I DONT HAVE ANY SHOT ON THEM THIS YEAR." LOL. I UPLOADED A VIDEO TO SHARE. HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS I AM! 7/3 83° at 9:40a.m. I need to increase my watering volume so I don't need to water every day. I used 5 gallons to water everything but the 50. I think I'm underwatering. However it was supposed to be severe thunder storms with torrential rain, high winds and hail. I'll gratefully take this hot sunny day instead. However in the future I think I'm not goingvto add in the predicted rainfall in my schedule. Unless it's a torrential down pour obviously. Everything g is still looking good and I've still got some work to do. EDIT: ITS 5PM AND NO "GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL. WE GOT A BRIEF RATHER INTENSE SHOWER. AT LEAST THE GIRLS GOT SOME WATER. IM GERY GRATEFUL THAT WE DIDNT GET THE STORM AND HAIL THAT WAS EXPECTED. 7/4 Didn't even get a chance to inspect the plants this morning as the wife had a medical emergency. My father called me (as I was about 5 mins away in route) telling me my plants were drooping and one was "really bad." I figured that since i had watered consistently the past few days and it was only 70 not 90 that they would be OK until noon. Boy was I wrong. I've upped my watering volume. I watered EVERYTHING with at least a gallon. I may have only given the tens 3/4s. Everything was back up by the time I left but the one on the end. I had forgotten flat I hadn't watered that one and needed to mix another gallon to water that plant. Thats why that plant looks worse on the video. I think my watering is going to need to increase to more than a gallon but it's a good start. I'll keep this updated. 7/5 Had to leave early again but I'll be back before noon. The wind is still whipping! I DID go around the cage and lifted every pot to make sure they were heavy. Even with the heavy wind the bags still were heavy. I really need to get some shit done this weekend. Last day of this week. Still haven't applied bt or done the pruning that needs to be done. I'll update as I go. EDIT: MY INTUITION WENT OFF AND I DODNT WATER TODAY SINCE I HAD JUST INCREASED VOLUME. THESE ARE MONSTERS THOUGH. I WENT OVER AT LIKE 1PM AND FIVE WERE DOWN. SOME SEEMED FINE. THE WIND IS REALLY STRONG THOUGH. CAUGHT ME TOTALLY BY SURPRISE. IM NOT EVEN TOTALLY SURE HOW MUCH I WATERED I WAS GOING SO FAST. IT WAS EITHER 17 OR 20 GALLONS. I KNOW THAT TJE PROBLEM PLANTS ALL GOT TWO GALLONS AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHERS. EVERUTHING IS BACK UP AND LOOKING GOOD THOUGH! IM REALLY CONSIDERING LIGHT DEPPING THE 10S. I DONT WANT A REPEAT OF THAT PLANT WITH ALL CALYXES LAST YEAR.

Great easy cultivar to grow, even with the pythium issues in the higher temp DWC. The harvest was very resinous, the terpenes are amazing. The final weight should be pretty good, plants are finishing dry, I'll post dry weight when known. Thanks for hanging out and watching this girl grow :)😎

Gelato 33 — Harvest Report This week marks the end of a very successful run with Gelato 33. After monitoring the trichomes closely, the plant was taken down at the perfect moment: cloudy trichomes with a touch of amber, signalling peak cannabinoid and terpene expression. ⸻ 🔬 Trichome & Maturity Check • ~80–85% cloudy • ~10–15% amber • Very few clear trichomes Ideal for a strong, balanced hybrid effect without losing freshness. ⸻ 🌿 Bud Characteristics Gelato 33 showed all the classic traits: • Dense medium-size buds • Thick resin coating • Long, orange pistils • Beautiful purple/green tones depending on the cola • Extremely sticky during trimming Aroma exploded during harvest: Sweet, creamy dessert notes + earthy gas. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest Processing • Light wet-trim (fan leaves only) • Whole plant hung upside down for a slow dry • Branch spacing maintained for airflow This ensures maximum terpene preservation. ⸻ 🌬️ Drying Conditions • Temperature: 18–19°C • Humidity: 52–55% • Airflow: indirect, very gentle • Total planned drying time: 10–14 days ⸻ ⚖️ Yield Wet weight from trimming photo: ➡️ 586 g (wet) Final dry weight will be updated after curing. ⸻ General Impression of the Strain Gelato 33 proved to be: • Stable • Highly resinous • Resistant to stress & mold • Strong smell but controllable Definitely a keeper-worthy phenotype.

Was growing great till I got root rot in flowering. By then it was too late and lost most of her potential. Just harvested her. Learned more during this grow about hydro. I still got a ways to go. The New Level Hydro bucket works great. Thank you Spider Farmer, New Level Hydro, and AMS. Once I get the bud processed I will be back for smoke report. I will likely try to grow this again without issues. 🤜🤛🤞 Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🍻🌱👍 Happy Growing 🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g www.newlevelhydro.com

We got unlucky this week... We were gone for a short vacation over the weekend. We came back late int the night on Sunday. Looking inside the tent, the leaves on one bud of Middleman looked weird. When we saw that at first, I was pretty sure that we have bud rot. However there was no energy left in us to do anything with the plants. So we took a closer look the next day. On Monday, checking with the lights on, the bud on Middleman looked bad. We opened it up, revealing mold in the early to mid stages of Botrytis. Looking back, there were signs of this on the day we left, but unluckily we didnt notice it. Funny enough, this was actually my favorite shoot out of all plants, since it looked so good overall and I looked at this particular shoot more than any other :/. We keep it going. Other buds look good for now and we dont have long to go.

11/17: I fed today but didn't have time for much of a photo session. Gave them One, Signal, Sweet & Sticky, Cha Ching, and started them on LiquidSoil. 11/19: The bigger plant just keeps putting on big swollen green calyx every day...such a big lovely freak! Amazing frost and pungent fuel aroma.😋 The smaller plant is a true beauty..got some purple in folage and flower and frosted over wonderfully. This pheno looks more like a Sugar Cane than the other.
