19.1.25:
I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g.
I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes.
It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements.
I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients.
Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;-
ā” 2ml Cal-Mag
ā” 2ml Ecothrive Flourish
ā” 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster
ā” 2ml Biobizz Bloom
ā” 2ml Biobizz Top Max
ā” 1g of Ecothrive Biosys
I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements.
I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. š
I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation.
The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double.
I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest.
I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too.
I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle.
24.1.25:
I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix.
This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments:
ā” 60% Canna coco
ā” 20% Worm castings
ā” 15 % Perlite
The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;-
ā” 10g Ecothrive Biosys
ā” 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
ā” 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano
ā” 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth
ā” 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
ā” 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster.
ā” 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle.
ā¢Worm castings for some all round nutrition.
ā¢Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent.
ā¢Canna coco base substrate.
ā¢Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system.
ā¢Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds.
ā¢Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom.
ā¢RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes.
ā¢Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits.
ā¢Diatomaceous earth for Silica.
ā¢Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost.
I have removed all LST equipment from both PPP1 and PPP2.
I'm going to let them grow up now, and I plant to implement a Scrog net, if they get any taller, which I hope they will.
However they are most likely finished with their final stretch. My mistake, I went too hard on the LST.
Thanks for checking out my diary š āļø

42Fast Buds - Gorilla Zkittlez Auto š±
Today marks 70 days, and it's finally time to bring this incredible journey to an end. š« Honestly, I can hardly bring myself to cut her down, I've grown so attached to her, and she's just so beautiful. But the trichomes have turned a deep amber, and there's no more time to wait.
For the last 6 days, weāve been flushing her roots with ice-cold water, watching as she transformed, her colors changing and becoming even more stunning. It wasnāt just a grow ā it was a true process of evolution.
I want to give a huge thanks to 42FAST Buds for their amazing genetics and for allowing me to grow such a phenomenal strain. Gorilla Zkittlez Auto is an absolute masterpiece! š„
Special thanks to Xpert Nutrients for their incredible fertilizers and ongoing support. Without you, we wouldnāt have achieved these remarkable results. You helped grow not just a plant, but a true work of art! š

Day 80
This morning I started defoliating Tropicana. She will be in the darkness for the next days. I already harvested a part of the head flower and let it dry trimmed. Because of extreme weather conditions and very high humidity I got a little bud rott. I found it out quit early I think. So I hope nothing will not happen any more. Just harvesting relaxed and drink a Tropicana tee.
Day 81
I decided to cut her down in the evening. The humidity in the basement room is high and I donāt want to risk here anything anymore. Waiting for my first homegrown weed to be vaped.
Day 82
Tropicanas flowers hanging to dry in my basement. I check them once per day with a strong light.
Day 83
Same same. The smell is wonderful like a bit of gas combined with a fruity flower bouquet. Our neighbors in the house like the smell, too. š
Day 84
I could try my first homegrown weed. Itās absolutely tasty and have a very smooth vape. I was very surprised cause itās not cured yet. A longer vape report will follow when itās dried and cured.
Day 88
All flowers, sugar- and tee leafs are trimmed and filled in glasses for curing. I open twice per day for 20 minutes. Boveda packs 58% inside.
I will fill out the rest of the diarie when my buds are dried, cured and vaped. So far this was a very exciting journey for me. Growing cannabis and even legal on our balcony. Feels still a bit unreal, but itās real!
Thank you for reading my diary! Thanks to all the people who worked on legalizing cannabis in Germany, especially to the āDeutscher Hanfverband (DHV)ā!
I will give more updates and write a vape report after curing several weeks. Maybe with some Tropicana Cookies baked in Comfreys garden kitchen.

Observe.
The stem that snapped clean off in week 5, the resulting stress seems to have made a 2ft solid massive cola, probably the biggest individual I've grown, albeit she had signs of stress, and I felt like she was a little behind in the floral development compared to others, but as the rest of the plants start to settle down with packing on mass, the stressed colawas just getting started. Super interesting to see the difference that the snap made to the base of the stem overall, as I know before the snap, they were all the same girth or thereabouts. Neat little lucky accident, maybe I'll try something next grow.

Bueno resumiendo cookies gelato es una variedad hĆbrida muy fĆ”cil de cultivar pero ojo, cuidado con los Ćŗltimos riegos si no querĆ©is perder cosecha por moho. Lo demĆ”s de 10 pegada heavy sabor increĆble, cogollos duros como rocas y baƱados de una gran capa de polen.
El ambiente del secado se mantuvo en 23 grados de media y la humedad estuvo por debajo de los 45% en todo momento.
Poco mƔs la verdad estuve encantado de poder cultivar una genƩtica tan potente .
Un saludazo que pasĆ©is un final de aƱo increĆble y por supuesto buenos humazooosšØšØšØ.

June 15: looks really good and will do second round of topping tomorrow. The last 30 days have been cooler than the historic average, and last year was way above average. So, sheās doing great despite cool weather.
June 16: adjusted tie downs and watered with soluble seaweed extract.
June 17: second round of topping to make 8 colas done this morning. Will do another round in a week or two to get the final 16 cola layout I want.
June 20: released tie downs this morning. Looks really good on the last day of spring. Solstice and the photoperiods are right on schedule, unlike my two autos.
Made second compost tea as shown in video. Key things are blackstrap molasses (sugar and trace metals), good compost, and I use coco coir for something for the bacteria to physically live on (substrate or matrix).

I'm happy with the progress they have made, all have responded well to defoliation and LST. I'll be adding a few more light nutrients at some point this week. The gorilla zkittles is shorter than the rest but looks very sturdy and has plenty of bud showing already, I think this is because it started flowering maybe 7days before the rest and in them 7days the rest shot up rapidly! I'll update daily and try get some nice videos with lights out.

Pollen was dropping like crazy as the male flowers got ripe and ready. The females got good and coated and fully pollinated. I harvested the males to collect and preserve the pollen. Some dried and I veiled it up. But the bulk majority is still drying up.
I left just the bottom portion of the male kicking for some extra pollen well the females throw off. The diary will now begin to focus on the pollinated females. The journey to beans is well under way! Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

The "runt" is looking beautiful ant the 2nd plant now looks way over fed..PH has been a roller coaster... i watered until 20ish% runoff (with PH 4.5 tap water) a few times (not sure what else to do) we're going to skip feeding and continue to water this way (with trace nutrients) until she lightens up some.... .hopefully she looks a little better in a few days. (7/21..13th day of flower)
7/23... Plant on the right is still looking WAY overfed....she's been getting water only for a little over a week :/
7/26 Plant on the right is starting to look much better, lots of new leaf growth, I may skip the 2nd round of shwazzing on that one and just let it do it's thing until harvest without anymore needless stress..

I learned a bunch growing these plants and the harvest was well worth the effort it took. 300 watt actual power consumption for lights so I think I'll give this strain another run in the future. The smoke is smooth the smell is potent fruity with a touch of citrus. I dried to 67% then placed buds in a plastic bin for one week burping 4 times a day for 15 minutes then Jared at a humidity of 63% with 62% bĆ³veda packs for one week burping twice a day . After 10 days of I exchanged the 62% packs for 58% packs. Burns smooth and tastes great but I'm going to see what it tastes like in a couple more weeks.

Code ; NINJABUDS for a discount on ELUFAH lights
The spectrum from ELUFAH is really making the plants grow really well
My papa Payton I have growing under the ELUFAH uap-1500 along with the ELUFAH Saturn ring under canopy light. I recently put the plant back in a 2x2 I did have 2 plants but the other plant needed up being male. No need for the larger tent still.

The cherry bomb doing well. Gave her a flush and fresh nutrients. Been tying the branches down a little as they grow out and pulling a few leaves every couple days to keep them from blocking light. Will be switching them to flower next week.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend and staying safe. Another great week for the ladies, as they are now about 3 weeks into flower, and the stretch has just finished. I am still feeding them silica, cal mag, and flower nutrients maxi bloom by GHE. I did start to add a PK booster this week pushing the EC up to 1.4. I also will be switched the light from V1 to the F1 Spectrum at the beginning of this week, and will be integrating the UV/IR bar into the light cycle later this week. I will run the UV/IR bar for approximately 30 minutes prior to lights off to get started.
The tallest plants are the Sundae Driver and the Durban Nights at 42" and the Red Hot Cookies is the shortest plant at 38" however they all look happy and healthy and capable of easily giving up a half pound each.
The 5X5 is really starting to fill up nicely, I am running two dehumidifiers outside of the tent and I am able to maintain around 50% RH in the tent during lights on, and around 55% RH with lights off. We did get an unexpected heat wave this weekend and it has been a struggle keeping the heat and humidity down but the flowers are just starting so no need to worry about mold or anything like that yet. As soon as this heat wave is over the temps should be good to go the rest of the way this is by far the best time of year to be flowering plants in my region.
I did defoliate twice this week and I may do one or two more rounds before just letting them do their thing. Not much to do from here on out except make sure the reservoir is full and the PH is in the proper range.
I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! šŖ
