Dec 12: Growth has been good, leafs started yellowing as I tried a regular watering as opposed to a feed, and they did not take well to it. I’ve read that it’s good to incorporate waterings between feeds, but 24hr later noticed a bit of yellowing on the lower section, 48hr post watering even more yellowing. Dec 18: Going with feed only and yellowing has halted, stretching has officially begun. No adverse effects from the short term nitrogen deficiency (that’s what I narrowed it down to). Playing with budsites to maintain an even canopy, and as soon as I see stretching halt, and fattening begin, I will up the bloom nutes. Dec 20:

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2204 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/29- Here we go into Week Four of Vegetation but I'm somewhat relieved that they haven't started flowering yet as they are only 5" & 6" respectively so some more time to grow is a good thing right now! It's been a month since these pretty ladies popped out of the ground and other than being short, they are both looking perfect! The #1's 4g Gronest pot was heavy when lifted as was the #2's 3g Wraxly pot and they both looked happy, so I skipped watering today and will check them tomorrow morning after the lights come on. Since being topped for the first time a week ago, they both have two new shoots that are emerging and have new growth sprouting out all over with extremely tight node spacing making them definitely Indica dominate, and will most likely result in very short stocky cultivars from this strain which would be ideal for someone with limited grow space. 😎💚 Both of these girls are extremely healthy with excellent vigor and color and I can't wait to see if they get any taller and for them to begin flowering! 🧐💚 12/31- Today was a 'dry day and all I did was refill the humidifier and some canopy maintenance, tucking shade leaves and gently bending branches. It's been a little over four weeks since they were planted in their amended medium and it's time to give their microbes a good feed so they can continue to provide them with all the macro and micro nutrients they need so, yesterday they got a good watering with 0.5g of de-chlorinated water with GreenGro's Veg, Flower, Green Aminos, Natures Brix and Granular Myco added to it @ 1.5 tsp/g and then ph'd to 6.4 @ 73℉. Still no signs of flowering on either tester but I anticipate it will be any day now! 01/02- Yesterday I finally saw signs of flowering on the #1 tester! The #2 is still a no-show but as short as she is it's probably for the best! Today I watered them from the bottom with 0.5g of de-chlorinated water to which I added 3ml/g of Earth Juice OilyCann cal-mag to prevent any Cal-Mag issues they may encounter before they arrive. I also have the HLG 650R set 36" above canopy and it's set at 60% power which is being controlled by a Trolmaster HydroX controller. The tent environment is on point with temp's running 70 when the light's off and 74℉ with the light on. I'm keeping the RH at 55-60% right now but will drop it as flowering progresses. Finally, I've been keeping the VPD in the tent running 0.85 - 1.05 which I'm happy with! 01/04- They have both been doing really well getting watered every other day and yesterday they received 0.5g each of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t Soil Conditioner which was then ph'd to 6.3 @ 72℉. The #1 tester is on her fourth day of flower and looking great! Because she's so bushy and was getting choked with growth, I removed a few shade leaves to open her up and get some light penetration down into her canopy. The #2 tester has yet to show any signs of going into flower which I won't be concerned with unless it persists for another week or so, at which point I'll make a decision on how to deal with her. 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Hello growmies, welcome to week 13! 🍪 💜 DAY 87 Watered💧 DAY 91 Watered 💧 Thanks @Green_Buzz_Nutrients for sponsoring my grow, those products really do their job! 💚 If you want to give them a try, there's a generous discount code in my setup description. ⬇️ Thanks @SensiSeeds for the opportunity, let's do this!! 🚀 💚 🖤 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Purple Cookie Kush Feminized Seeds [Girl Scout Cookies x Purple Kush] Purple Cookie Kush Feminized seeds come from two well-known strains, Girl Scout Cookies and Purple Kush. The 60% indica / 40% sativa heritage leads to a well-balanced hybrid flower. Flavours range from grapes to sandalwood, and the terpene profile is a concoction of many complimentary aromas. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized is a short plant with good yields. Bud formation is dense, similar to many Kush strains. About Purple Cookie Kush Feminized Purple Cookie Kush Feminized takes the hottest GSC genetics and mashes them with a Purple Kush cultivar that was hand chosen for this project. No corners were cut in creating and selecting the right breeding stock for this fantastic strain. The result is a well-balanced hybrid that retains key qualities from its lineage. The Purple Kush parent of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized has a lot to contribute, as evidenced by the plant morphology. The compact nature and sturdy branching can be attributed to those indica-dominant genetics. Another area that the indica influence is evident is in the terpene profile, which includes scents of spicy hashish and earthiness. GSC contributes selected indica traits to Purple Cookie Kush Feminized, but the sativa side of the genes also had an impact. Complex, fruity expressions are detectable in both the mouth and nose of this strain. Before harvesting, during the last few weeks of flowering, growers will notice pleasant scents with floral notes lingering in the garden area. Growth pattern of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized Purple Cookie Kush Feminized seeds grow into a plant that represents in appearance both sativa and indica inheritance. Because this is a feminized strain, growers will not need to sex the plants at the early stages of flower and can accurately anticipate yields knowing that all plants will be flower-producing. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized has sturdy branches, similar to its GSC parent. The strong branches can support the weight of flower growth through harvest. The plant itself is stocky with a compact stature. This is attributed more to the Purple Kush influence. Due to the lower profile and many branches, defoliation is beneficial at various stages of growth. Indoor growers with a controlled climate report final heights in the 120 - 140 cm range. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized finishes flowering in a quick 50-60 day window, which is a distinctly indica quality. Outdoor growers in temperate / Mediterranean climates have seen plants reach over 160 cm with ideal weather. The bud formation of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized is similar to the popular Kush structure. Flowers are dense and compact. The buds are a mixture of swollen, trichome-covered bracts with dark forest-green foliage below. During the last weeks of flowering, the GSC influence adds purple hues to the vegetation. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized is a solid-performing, easy-to-maintain plant with good yields. It is not difficult to achieve the optimal indoor climate, and yields of 425 - 475 grams per m² are possible in these conditions. The ideal outdoor environment will have moderately warm weather and a small percentage of rain within the growing season. Growers in those regions have reported yields reaching 550 grams per plant, sometimes even more! Common plant training techniques are not crucial to the success of this robust, sturdy plant, but some growers looking to maximize yields will use them. Techniques that have been used with great success in canopy control include SOG, SCROG, Supercropping, and Lollipopping. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized handles them all without skipping a beat. Effects, taste and smell of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized The effects of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized usher in a more relaxed and easy-going day than most. It has the benefit of merging both indica and sativa attributes. Euphoric and uplifting effects are associated with sativa cultivars, and these effects are precisely how the Purple Cookie Kush Feminized experience begins. Blissfully distracted from the fast-paced world, thoughts shift to creative endeavours and inspirational goals. As these feelings are front and centre, a mild buzz begins radiating from the inner core. Soon, the indica-leaning effects are felt. Effects turn towards the loosening of tense muscles, the easing of minor aches, and an embracing full-body stone. The flavour profile of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized is almost like a full-course meal. The pairing of flavours is unique and somehow works perfectly. The taste of fresh peeled grapes sits well with the coffee and caramel elements. The indica genetics once again show their dominance with undertones of earthiness and spicy sandalwood to complete the flavour profile. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized has an unmistakably loud grape smell. This trait is not commonly seen in cannabis, but it is fully displayed with this strain. The remainder of the terpene profile is what many would consider the finer aromatic qualities of the GSC strain. Scents of spicy hashish float through the air, complementing the grape aroma whenever the jar is opened. Background notes of earth and sandalwood add another enjoyable layer to the terpene profile. https://sensiseeds.com/en/research/purple-cookie-kush-feminized?sqr=purple%20cookie _______________________________________________________________________________________ Setup: 140x70x200 cm Spiderfarmer tent 2x Monkey 16W fans (not oscillating) 1x Secret Jardin 30W 1x box fan 50W oscillating (on lowest level) LED Full Spectrum 320W AGLEX AGL-320W-MA 5,6 kg foldable, dimmable 864 pieces Samsung LH301H 864umol/s 2,7umol/J full spectrum white + RED 660nm + IR 740nm wavelength range 380-780nm covering 3x4ft Green Buzz Nutrients https://greenbuzzliquids.com/ ❗ Use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) Biobizz Lightmix + coco + wormcastings + perlite Carbon Active Granulate Filter 125/360 cm³/h PrimaKlima exhaust EC 125-400/240 cm³/h

This week the plants went through a lot of training. First, at the beginning of the week, the humidifier was taken out, the light was set to 4, and I applied worm castings to reduce the Ph level. Then two older plants got topped, and applied LST on the main branches. I rolled the main branches between my fingers to soften the branches until they are limp. Then tied down the tallest branch. Then, the rest of the plants got topped. By the end of the week, ALL of the plants were topped at the fifth node and trimmed under growth, up to the third node. This prepares them for top bud production and sets the plants into healing mode. Which will increase yield and terpene production. Note: the baby Lemmosa plants are very healthy and vibrant and young enough to withstand the HST!

Hola así vamos terminando la tercera semana de floración de este seguimiento de clones y semillas , las encuentro bastante rápida para la formación de flores y pegaron un estirón bastante bueno , tengo una Sugar Black Rose ( la más alta del fondo izquierdo ) que se espigo más que todas le he realizado 2 cropping pero sigue de todas formas levantándose hacia la luz .- La producción de tricomas es bastante buenas y los olores son muy agradables . . . . Hello, so we are finishing the third week of flowering of this clone and seed monitoring, I find them quite fast for the formation of flowers and they hit a pretty good stretch, I have a Sugar Black Rose (the highest one on the left bottom) that spikes more I've all done 2 cropping but still getting up towards the light. The production of trichomes is quite good and the smells are very pleasant.

*english version below* 🌿 HydroLab Germany – Vegiwoche 6: Zucker, Pilze & Präzisionswahnsinn Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo Wissenschaft und Wahnsinn weiter Hand in Hand tanzen – diesmal mit einem ordentlichen Schuss Zucker im System. 🍭⚗️ Projektstatus Die Damen machen sich weiter breit – Training läuft präzise nach Plan. Das Scrog-Netz wird nach und nach gefüllt, Triebe werden durchgeflochten und Blätter geopfert. Untenrum wurde ordentlich lollipopped – klinisch sauber, wie man’s im Labor mag. Neue Seitentriebe wachsen nach und werden sofort wieder ins Netz eingearbeitet – kontrolliertes Chaos in Reinform. ⚙️ Systemparameter 🌡️ Temperatur (Tag): 26 °C 💧 RLF: 65 % (geregelt über AC Infinity Cloudforge) ⚗️ Düngung: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (Grow, Bloom, Micro + B52 + Bud Candy) 📊 EC: 1,1 System: RDWC (4 × 30 L Euroboxen, DIY – weil zu groß gibt’s nicht) 🌊 Wasser: kühl, klar, quirlig – und jetzt offiziell lebendig Living RDWC Experiment Das Labor wird biologisch aktiv – Mykorrhiza, Zuckerquellen wie Bud Candy und bald Aloe Vera Saft & Chitosan sollen das Mikroleben pushen. Ziel: Den typischen „sterilen Hydro-Geschmack“ zähmen und mehr organische Tiefe schaffen. Kurz gesagt: Wir impfen das System mit Leben – und hoffen, dass es uns nicht auffrisst. 😄 🔍 Beobachtung Die Pflanzen zeigen kräftige Stämme, saubere Wurzeln und gleichmäßiges Wachstum. Das Netz wird von Tag zu Tag dichter – fast so, als hätte es einen eigenen Willen. Einige große Fächerblätter mussten für den Fortschritt sterben… aber hey, Wissenschaft verlangt Opfer. 🧠 Labornotiz Im HydroLab riecht’s mittlerweile nach Zuckerwatte trifft Nährlösung – ein Duft, der Erfolg verspricht. Alles deutet darauf hin, dass Leben im Wasser = Geschmack im Weed heißen könnte. Phase 6 läuft stabil – aber Stabilität ist hier ohnehin nur die Ruhe vor dem nächsten Versuch. ------------------------------------ 🌿 HydroLab Germany – Veg Week 6: Sugar, Fungi & Precision Madness Welcome back to the HydroLab, where science and insanity continue their delicate dance – this time with a healthy dose of sugar in the system. 🍭⚗️ Project Status The ladies are spreading beautifully – horizontal expansion: successful. The Scrog net is being woven tight, trichome soldiers in training, leaves removed for maximum efficiency. Below the net it’s now clinically clean – lollipopping complete. New shoots keep popping up, and every single one gets trained into position – controlled chaos at its finest. ⚙️ System Parameters 🌡️ Day Temp: 26 °C 💧 RH: 65% – perfectly managed by AC Infinity Cloudforge ⚗️ Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (Grow, Bloom, Micro + B52 + Bud Candy) 📊 EC: 1.1 System: RDWC (4 × 30L Euroboxes – DIY, because “too big” isn’t a thing) 🌊 Water: cool, clear, and officially alive Living RDWC Experiment This round, the Lab goes biologically active – Mycorrhiza, sugar sources like Bud Candy, and soon Aloe Vera juice and Chitosan join the mix. Goal: erase that “sterile hydro” flavor and bring organic depth to hydro-grown weed. In short: we’ve inoculated the system… and we just hope it stays friendly. 😄 🔍 Observations Strong stems, glowing white roots, uniform growth. The canopy is tightening up – like a neural network learning how to photosynthesize better. Some big fan leaves were sacrificed in the name of progress – science demands casualties. 🧠 Lab Notes The HydroLab now smells like nutrient solution and cotton candy – oddly promising. Early signs suggest the theory holds: life in the system = flavor in the flower. Phase 6 is stable… but in this Lab, stable only ever means “right before the next experiment.” 🔖 Tags:#HydroLab #RDWC #LivingRDWC #Scrog #AdvancedNutrients #BudCandy #ACInfinity #CannaScience #HydroExperiment #GrowTech #THCGrow #ScienceIsSexy #MycoPower

Welcome to the Zamnesia Spring Cup. Hi everyone :-) I hope you are all fine 🙏🏻. This week the lady has developed really well 😍👍, which probably has something to do with the Monster Bud Mix that she has been using for a few days 😎. I will top her tomorrow for the first time. After a few more days, I will spontaneously decide whether to do LST or a few more times top :-) Depending on what time allows and how it develops 🤗. It seems to be a very nice genetics. This is how you are used to from Zamnesia 😍🙏🏻. I wish you all a good start to the week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👍 Zamnesia Spring Cup 🏆 Type: Runtz ☝️🏼 Genetics: Zkittlez x Gelato 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205 W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Bio ☝️🏼 Nutrients : Monster Bud Mix ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Ended up flushing Mumma for about 10 days - got her ppm down real low. Night before harvest I set the timer so the light would not come back on in the morning before I harvested (I've seen people who swear by this and other who say it doesn't do anything but figured it couldn't hurt). At this point the other plants are pretty disappointing compared to Mumma so they aren't getting as much "love" lol.

I’m almost over the finish line with my first grow. From now, she’s on plain water ph 6.5. I’m paying closer attention to the trichomes, she’s very frosty but no sight of any ambers yet. The smell of the fullgas has changed to a lovely sweet candy . So Looking forward to smoking this guys.

hi folks ... my photo is traveling quite well, I invested some tokens in Rhino skin, a silicate-based product that strengthens the cells of the plant and derives many other benefits. the trichomes are already invading the leaves ... what a joy! abundant harvests to all, brothers of the weed

I am waiting to start some more seeds I already have them but another tent is needed and a couple of leds, good ones. It will take a few weeks to sort and as usual I have some inspections on the house I need to try and time carefully around 🤔 I did have 2 during this grow the first was in veg luckily they grew in a closet the second was week 3 flower (don't ask) The smell didn't stink out the room like the wedding cake did so I will try and cure this as long as possible to last this as close to next harvest as possible 😅 my cats didn't eat my plants this time so thats another bonus. Need to look into getting a proper air circulation for the new tent I used a fan the whole time my tent was wide open I want to have it sealed next time so I can fully zip it closed ffs lol defo would recommend this strain but I don't think they stock these anymore 😕 I got a coupe seeds from the first plant I was right the pic of the top bud a few weeks ago you can see the seed just about forming after the branch got broken off we will live and learn 😉
