D35: Nice spacing between the nodes, nice and short, nice wide leaves. Very Indica looking. I didn't want to top her because she was so short and branchy so I just tied her down D37: can't get over how squat and wide she is. Just lovely. D40: tied her down again and cut off a fan leaf. Gave her a feed of organic grow D41: she responds to the lst well. Nice and green on top, lots of branches coming. Should extend a bit next week.

Gas tax x obama runtz I still have 2 of these plants going. One kf them is strong and rooting well the other is the smallest plant in the tent. It's leaves have nit grown in size much the past week. I'm thinking it's roots are tied up weird or it's just a weak plant. If I did not have a thing for even numbers I'd prob toss the 2nd plant but who wants 9 plants when you have 10 This past week all the plants did great dealing with getting repotted and topped in the same week. I definitely took a Rick doing that seeing i only left each plant with 4 leaves. This past week was also a struggle to keep the vpd in a decent range. The Temps outside have been below 32 for a few days with Temps dipping down to almost 0 at night. With the space heater running it's pulling the humidity down. I think I have figured out the solution to that problem so I won't run into that next time it gets cold again. All the plants have really started to grow their new branches sense being topped. A few of the plants are a little smaller than I'd like but I'm gonna keep em alive for now.

Hey people. So far everything looks good. I highly doubt that any lady here will be as productive as one of my “Runtz”. But we'll see. Have a nice week everyone.

Day 105- So we are on week 8 of flower as of 2 days ago. Day 105 from seed. I watered both plants today with Jack's. I'm hoping this is the last time with nutes for at least one of the girls. My sativa has mostly cloudy trichomes so I'm going to start flushing her after this. I'm thinking she will be where I want her to be in a week. Maybe a tad longer. I'm waiting out the indica a little while longer because I'm shooting for a decent amount of amber. I can see the finish line What a major learning experience. So humbled to share this journey with you all. Not a perfect grow by any means but I hope to use this knowledge and crush my second grow. Day 109- Started 36 hours of dark at 5:30am Day 110- Trimmed and hung. What a ride it has been! Can't wait to update with a dry weight.

I just entered flowering stage, I switched to the bloom nutrients and I've stopped putting Rhino Skin like 2weeks ago and now am adding NIRVANA to help with the phosphorus I've also gave them a well needed defoliation try to focus all the energy in the pistils I've dropped my lights as well and my I've been keeping an eye for my temp. Don't want it to go above 80° The order am mixing my nutrients are: •hydroguard •Nirvana •CalMag •Bloom A •Bloom B • pH balance to 5.8 So far their pryin' up wards after I dropped the lights the seem to respond well.

26.1.25: I have had a mistake 😕 i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣 However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- ♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag ♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys. ♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑 I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up 😣 I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅 I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣 So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣 Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Snipped another couple leaves which were annoying me 😅 I realised this is one of the pots I put my clay pebbles the bottom of. So I've probably not been watering enough, as she's right at the back, and assuming all was good because the pot was heavy. I went ahead and gave all the plants a thorough watering each with: 2ltrs of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.2 with:- ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 4ml Seaweed extract liquid Going to keep an eye out to see when they need more in next couple of days. They're all looking very well, except the slight colour fade on Bubble Kush

DAY 49 F: Hi all. Hope we are all sane and smiling still in the topsy turvy world we inhabit.... These girls have been showing off all week and getting excited for their photo/video stardom to arrive and here we are..... The surrogates that got ousted to the other space are adding amazing , the gorllia cookie are a very productive pair of girls and really starting to look potent and close to finishing. They smell so candy sweet up close and are in perfect health besides the remnants of calmag issues and a few natural fading leaves in one or two places. Mutant #2 Northern Lights has also put a nice bit of bud weight on but nowhere near as much as her sister under the pocket rocket xs1500. #1 Northern lights lady has gone from an innocent , pure white girl and heading into a colourful Jezebel to pull the pollen carriers in. She has a few orange hairs appearing now but is still in a full flush of her original set too. With about 2 weeks to go ans swelling daily , she could be a show stopper of an example of Fast buds genetics. Each long chunky main is beginning to smell so sweet when touched too. A very worthy strain to grow so far ... My Grandaddys Mimosa is really kicking into high gear with her second pistil flush now. This is why I use the Shogun Dragon force and the mimosa is a perfect example of the benefit of it. She is possibly going to double her bud girth with the extra boost it can offer. She has some very tight feeling buds when pressed and even with the higher leaf ratio , should produce some good yield. There is a definite purpling to her inner bud which is not from the Male lemon mimosa and is a good clue to which female the seed came from during the raping !!! My best inspector Cluesoe skills will get to work to find her now. She must be a fruity strain from the secondary terps i am getting too. Her height is only about 1ft but her general potential wont be held back by this fact I dont think. This next week should see the Mimosa ripen and swollen to her finish and the Northern lights still in mid swell hopefully. Fingers crossed it keeps on the positive vibe. Be well growmies.

🌱 Grow Journal – Week 5 Week 5 of veg, and things are looking better. The plant has clearly shown signs of recovery since last week’s transplant and repot. It’s gained back some strength, which is really good to see. I took off the dome because it felt way too hot underneath. Without it, the environment is much easier for the plant. I also switched on bottom feeding by opening the Autopot valve. Now the nutrient solution wicks up from below, and that seems to have helped a lot. Not an instant boost, more like the steady support it was missing. I think it was slightly under-irrigated before. The plant is now back on track and should return to normal growth over the next weeks. The start was rough, but I’m glad to see it hanging on and gaining vigor again. I also turned on the air pump to run the AirDome at the bottom of the Autopot, giving the roots more oxygen. We’ll keep an eye on how it responds this week. As for conditions, it’s still pretty hot: temps around 25–27 °C, sometimes hitting 30 °C. Humidity stays low, about 50%, not ideal but manageable. That’s it for this week. Have a good one, see you next time, ciao!

August 5th. 52 days post flip. Clones: All 3 plants are Growing well with number 2 doing exceptionally well Had some bottom leaves falling off and obviously top buds above light not doing great on all 3 so we just installed an ion beam s16 from AC infinity as supplemental lighting for those top colas and one at the center for deeper penetration. I think the added 60 watts of high quality Samsung horticultural LEDs will help this plant. Going to be top dressing them here soon to keep them happy and healthy. As far as bud structure goes number two is my favorite. Tightest density and I think it will finish well. Number 3 is super interesting. Going to grow a giant upside tear drop shape bud by the looks of it. And last but not least number 4 the weirdo is beyond words. Parents: Growing well. God bless

Rainbow Melon is a total superstar! It's easily the biggest plant in the whole tent. I find it really interesting how the leaves get all droopy in the morning, then perk right back up in the afternoon. It's like it has its own internal clock. I'm curious to see if this pattern continues as it grows. Last week was awesome! I finally got around to giving all my plants a little upgrade – I repotted them into some bigger homes. They're all looking so happy and healthy now, it's crazy. I can't wait to see how much they grow this year!

Hello folks 😎 9th week of flowering, we are near the end ! 1 more flush and it will be time to harvest 👌, I love to see the leaves fade like that 😍 This week the outside temperatures have dropped a lot, very cool for the end and especially for better drying so im happy ! All trichome are milky and some amber, I could leave it another week longer but I want to be able to smoke it the day, and not stay glued to the sofa 😁 So the harvest will be done after about 60/62 days Anyway, I really liked this run ! and I would try other strains of this bank really soon stay tuned and see you next week for the final upload guys 😘 I also have another diary with one Pineapple kush from RQS if you want to see Peace Love & Weed GD Fam😍👊

It's like nature's own alarm clock, signaling that the adventure had officially begun! After seeing that adorable taproot, it was time to find a cozy spot in the soil for our Cherry Cola Auto. We prepared some nutrient-rich soil and gave our little green friend a warm, loving home. With a tender touch, we planted the seed, taproot down, and covered it with a light layer of soil. It's like tucking in a baby, ready for a long and restful nap. In just three short days, our Cherry Cola Auto broke through the surface, eagerly reaching for the world above. It's almost like the plant knew we were excitedly watching, and it didn't want to disappoint! The tiny cotyledons unfolded, revealing their first set of true leaves, and our hearts skipped a beat at the beauty of this young life.
