I need to dry the buds in the dark at 19 degrees Celsius and 50% humidity. I hope the effect will be good, The only thing I don't like is that she has too many leaves and I get very tired when trimming the buds, but that's the fault of the strain and genetics and that's how it should be!

(Days 28-35) (Day 29) Everything seems to have recovered fine from topping so I transplanted into their 1.7 gallon pots. They were pretty rootbound so this should make them nice and happy. Going to start LST after recovery. Got a ton of holes poked around the rim of the bucket which should make tying down easier. I’ve been asking around on some forums and reading some articles and I’ve decided to switch out my MH bulb for the included HPS bulb. Apparently HPS bulbs will stretch the nodes out quite a bit more and provide higher PAR value for the same amount of electricity. My plants are looking pretty small for day 29. Although, that could just be from stuffing 15 plants under one 250-400w light. I’ve been powering the lights up to 400w at night and back down to 250 during the day. 400 just gets it too hot during the day (86-88) without ventilation. That temperature should be fine in veg once my co2 has really built up some mycelium. (Day 32) Just got 14/15 topped. The BCTG runt is just going to be lst’d and not topped or fimmed. I decided to just fim the plants I started later so they’d have a bit more time to recover and catch up to the others. I also LST’d all 9 quite well. Almost had a stem break but she’s doing just fine now. The deformed bbb was accidentally fimmed and as a result it’s got a very trippy looking main stem that has branched off into 6 mains. I definitely have fungus gnats. Fuckers must have got in with that coco I bought from hydro store. This has never happened to me with just promix but the benefits of coco are too much to pass up. I might order an OG BioWar/capsbennies/grubgrenade to help naturally get rid of them. I’m getting some confirmed yellowing on bottoms of the zkittlez and WW’s. They must be heavy feeders because no other plant in the tent is getting yellow like that. I’m going to feed a compost tea, top dress everything at full strength and mulch in some worm castings to help break it down faster. Will also do a foliar spray with some insect frass, microbes and m1pps. (Day 33) Got some more of that marine phytoplankton stuff to help stabilize my RO water. It’s got a good amount of soluble magnesium and trade minerals in it so that should help stop the yellowing on the zkittlez and WW. (Day 34) Things are looking great so far and they’re all recovered from topping/transplant/lst and thriving. Some slight yellowing and a few of the plants are cupping from heat and high humidity. I just put in a dehumidifier to help bring the rh down. The m39/zkittlez bagseed plant is just outpacing everything in the tent by 4-6 days. No wonder organized crime used to grow it. I hear it can completely flower in 45 days with a solid yield and very little trimming or leaf matter. It’s very weak on the high and smell though. Nonetheless it should be nostalgic to try those old terps. There is still a small chance that it’s a super vigorous zkittlez plant too. Plants should be showing sex this coming week. Hoping for 8+ fems but I can make do with just 4. 1-3 is unlikely but that would piss me off beyond belief. I’ve heard of it happening though.

Day 15 and things are rolling right along.Ive just been giving ph water until the pots are dry.Noticing a lot of growth last few days and they are looking good.Ive decided to go from the 24 hour straight to 20 hours on 4 off light schedule.I have never really noticed much of a difference with auto flower from 18/6,20/4,and 24 hours on the light schedule.I think it is best for the equipment to give them a short rest time.I do like the consistency of the environment with 24 hours during the winter time though :)

Another week in the books! The plan is: starting a dry-back on the 4th of next month and chopping the following week. I haven't top dressed since flower but they don't seem to mind. I'm not seeing any senescence so far or hunger, just chugging along happily! They've been in the colder temps as I've closed off the heater vents for the basement. With a high of 74 and a low of 60 they're getting a gentle simulated, winter-temperature swing. I've been stretching the time between waterings to get some extra frost but I hope the intentional dry-back does what it did for my accidental dry-backs haha Thanks for reading and I wish bountiful harvests for all :)

# Chem Brulee by Zamnesia | Pheno B 🌱🔥🍮 ## Germination Week | A New Journey Begins Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to another new diary and another new adventure. As some of you may have noticed, I've recently changed the way I'm documenting my grows. With the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary rather than sharing a single journal with its sisters. The goal remains exactly the same as always: To document the entire process honestly and thoroughly from seed to harvest while sharing observations, techniques, successes, mistakes, and lessons learned along the way. The only difference is that now each phenotype gets its own space to tell its story. And today, that story begins with Chem Brulee Pheno B. --- ## The Beginning of Something New Every grow starts the same way. A small seed. A huge amount of potential. And a lot of curiosity. For this run, we're following Chem Brulee from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life. A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time. Throughout this diary, I'll do my best to explain not only what I'm doing, but also why I'm doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end. Because growing is not only about results. It's also about understanding the journey. --- ## Germination With the Cannakan System To begin this run, I used the Cannakan germination system. For anyone unfamiliar with it, the Cannakan is a compartmentalized germination container designed to keep multiple cultivars organized while providing a stable environment for germination. Each section can be individually labeled, making it easy to track multiple genetics simultaneously. The seeds were placed inside using only plain water. Nothing more. No nutrients. No additives. No rooting products. Just water. Approximately 24 hours later, healthy taproots had already emerged and the seeds were ready for the next stage. Simple. Efficient. Exactly what we hope to see. --- ## Why I Use Only Water During Germination A common question during germination is why I choose not to introduce nutrients immediately. The answer is simple. The seed already contains everything required to begin life. Nature prepared that package long before we ever became involved. Inside that tiny shell are the resources needed to establish roots and begin early growth. At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those natural reserves. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. --- ## First Experience Using Coco Starter Plugs This run also marks my first experience using coco starter plugs. The plugs were fully hydrated and then gently squeezed to remove excess water while still maintaining plenty of moisture and oxygen. Once germinated, the seeds were carefully inserted into the plugs and placed inside a humidity dome. The dome was only needed briefly. Within less than 24 hours the seedlings had already emerged and were showing healthy development. At that point, they were transplanted into small containers filled with Plagron Lightmix. --- ## Environmental Conditions The environment during germination was intentionally simple and stable. Temperatures remained around 26–27°C. Humidity was maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier. While many growers prefer keeping seedlings inside high-humidity domes for extended periods, I personally prefer introducing them relatively early to the environment they will actually experience throughout their life cycle. The goal is adaptation rather than prolonged protection. Airflow was kept extremely gentle. Just enough movement to keep the air fresh without creating stress for young seedlings. --- ## Heat Mat Temperatures The propagation mat was operating around 40°C. Although that number may sound high at first, the heat source itself must run above the desired root-zone temperature in order to compensate for environmental losses. The seedlings are not exposed directly to 40°C. Instead, the mat provides a stable source of warmth that helps maintain ideal rooting conditions and encourages rapid germination. The goal is consistency. And seeds love consistency. --- ## Lighting Lighting during germination is intentionally kept soft. Young seedlings do not require intense light levels. The objective is healthy establishment rather than aggressive growth. Once these girls become properly established, they will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the next stage of the adventure begins. We'll start discussing PPFD, light intensity, and environmental adjustments in greater detail during the coming weeks. For now, healthy beginnings remain the priority. --- ## First Impressions Everything has progressed exactly as hoped so far. Fast germination. Healthy taproots. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Good vigor. And perhaps most importantly: A clean start. At this stage, every seedling is still a mystery. No one knows exactly how a phenotype will develop. And honestly, that's one of the most enjoyable parts of growing. Every plant has its own personality waiting to emerge. --- ## Looking Forward Over the coming weeks we'll follow Chem Brulee Pheno B through its early development and beyond. We'll explore: - Root development - Plant structure - Environmental management - Watering practices - Light intensity - Growth observations - And any unique traits this phenotype decides to reveal Because every seed begins with potential. The journey ahead determines how that potential unfolds. This is only the beginning. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone joining along for another grow from seed to harvest. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

Me olvide de subir estas fotos el fin de semana asi que lo hago ahora! 🙏 Fue la ultima semanita de la BubbaSlush. En una de las fotos pueden observar un cogollo chiquito (lo saque de una rama lateral para secarlo y llevarle a mi hno que vive en otra ciudad). Es increible la cantidad de tricomas que tiene, es la primer planta que tengo con tanta produccion en resina realmente! Totalmente asombrado. P.D: La tuve que fumar porque no me aguante y el pegue que tiene es muy bueno, me deja muy loco pero a su vez me deja entablar una conversacion y mantenerla. Todo esto una flor cortada antes de tiempo y secada, sin curar si quiera.

Week 8 of Veg, preparing to flip to flower this coming weekend. Gonna do an extended light period but not quite the 24hrs of dark. LST is opening up light to the lower growth and making more room for big colas!

18cm vertical growth this week. She's not very tall.... Not sure what I've done wrong. 😐 Slowing down now we are entering flowering. She is VERY bushy!!!!!! Very short internode length. I've cut the big fan leaves off the main stem to allow light to penetrate her lower leaves!!! I never usually do this, but she is so bushy they had to go.

These girls where a joy to grow and even more of a joy to smoke! It really is a weed that has delivered in every department the colour, the smell, the taste, the yeilds. I'm off to binge watch prime and order an obscene amount of takeaways 👋🏻✌️🏻

Susquihanna @Divine Seeds Candy Auto continues to stretch one and a half inches this week while flowering and has a ton of buds. We have had the best temperatures this week. It is in the 80s and is going to rain all week. We now have a hurricane or two- literally- heading this way. I only fed my candy auto once this week because it was so wet here. Miss candy auto got nature’s best, rainwater. I clipped a bud off and took some close-up pictures so you could see the differences one week makes from last week, I love seeing the “sugar“ on the cannabis buds. Take a look at the sparkle – candy sugar, for sure exclamation exclamation And, as always Find Your Happy:)

Smell has become very strong. Fruity, pineapple, buds are flowering very fast for a Sativa. I will soon have to hang a net to give the plants support.
