As promised in the last entry. A lot of the early growth is going to be grouped in this week of veg for the diary. I'm going to consider this week 4 of Veg moving forward since that's about where my oldest plants are at this point. My newest plants are about a week old and since I slotted myself one of the Banana Butter Cup S1's to the first tent, the genetics I want for the reversal are finally preserved although she isn't looking the best. Not a lot of coverage on tent 1 I know. But this will change probably next week once we start getting into training them as I also am switching the VS100 out for some corn bulbs, since it seems to be a bit much for the smaller tent, a lot of the smaller plants have been suffering from light stress. I'm not interested in ever having that Banana Buttercups die before she yields me at least 100 seeds to run for the foreseeable future in my quest for Banana Terps. I'll have another Grow going probably in August this year for a bigger breeding project in 5x5 I hope. Until then stay tuned and I'll have more pictures next week!

the weather forecast says 2 weeks of rain, it will be a challenge to keep the humidity low in the house and of course in the growbox.

Day 150, 8th of October... She is getting old LOL..... the weather was the worst this week so far a lot of rain like 3 days non stop. The temperature is lowering as well. Sunshine??? What is that just bits... so basically she is just maturing there.... The smell is crazy strong nice sweet and citrus style... there is no sun but compare to that she will have some nice buds for me 🤪

Week 3 of the visible flowering 😃 everything is going well almost automatic pilot End of week 3 i did a little defoliation 🙈 I always hate to pick off al the big light blocking leaves but it's necessary and after a day they bounce back and nothing to worry about 😁👌 i always try to defoliate at the end of week 3 of the visible flowering hopefully the last time 🙏 so the buds are having all the light that they need

Estamos en la última semana para dos de las cuatro variedades, así que a partir de este momento, eliminamos Bio Flores. Añadiremos al bidón de riego Canna Flush, que nos va a ayudar a lavar bien nuestras raíces, eliminando restos de sales y nutrientes. Buscamos que las plantas gasten sus reservas de las hojas, que poco a poco veremos como pierden verdor, eliminando clorofila, sobre todo las más bajas. Canna Flush - 20ml por cada 10 litros de agua. Bajamos la potencia de nuestros balastros a 600w.

🌱 Grow Diary Update 🌸 What’s up! It’s Week 5, Day 2 of flower, and the girls are looking super happy. 🌿 I had a little hiccup earlier in the week—PPMs started getting a bit high, so I had to hit them with some plain pH’d water to level things out. 💧 Now they’re back on track and coming out at a nice 900ppm. Smooth sailing again! 😌 The room’s starting to smell amazing, and these buds are getting crazy sticky!

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

~Entry for the 'Best Rarest & Smallest Pot by Seedsman' contest~ Starring 🤩.... ~ Seedsman Zkittlez Auto ~ Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto x Auto Fruit (Auto Fruit Cheese x Auto Blueberry) Zkittlez Auto is one of the very sweetest-tasting auto strains available anywhere. It is a sativa-dominant (60%) strain that was bred from Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto crossed with a male Fruit Kush Auto, the latter a remarkable fruity strain bred from Fruit Cheese Auto and Blueberry Auto. Growers can expect to harvest some good yields of high-THC buds. Zkittlez Auto remains a fairly short plant, rarely exceeding 120 cm. in height wherever it is grown. This is a vigorous plant which is able to metabolize a high level of nutrients and she's a thirsty girl too! If growing indoors close to neighbors it is strongly advised to ensure good and effective carbon air-filtration in order to neutralize powerful odors. This strain's life-cycle is approximately 90 days from seed to harvest. The leaves on this plant are big and wide serving to convert every lumen available into Zkittlez goodness. Indoor growers should obtain between 400 - 500 gr/m2 while plants cultivated outdoors will produce slightly more at 500 - 600 gr/m2. Lateral branching is very good and it is recommended to use supports/ties to prevent snapping and keep buds close to the light source. This strain's scent is sweet and fruity with candy and berry notes. Its high-THC has been measured at between 21 - 24% with less than 1% CBD. The effect is well-balanced, cerebral and euphoric, and is very good for social situations as well as for relaxing in front of the TV either alone or with company. It also has the added effect of helping to relieve chronic pain, helping with nausea, insomnia and depression as well as stimulating the appetite.** **Credit to Seedsman.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~ The Setup ~ ~ Grown in a 2qt plastic popcorn pot filled with Mother Earth Grow 70/30 Coco/Perlite with Xtreme Gardening Mykos added. ~ Seed was germinated directly in the medium without any 'pre-soak' ~ Feeding will be by Dutch Pro Nutrients ~ 24hr light cycle while germinating ~ 20/4 light cycle after first leaves appear. ~ 4x8 Gorilla Tent ~ HLG 650R w/ 30w Supplemental UVA Bar controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. (also a HLG Blackbird for additional side lighting if necessary) ~ Supplemental co2 controlled by an AutoPilot APC 8200 co2 controller ~ AC Infinity Cloudline T6 with Controller 67 using a Terrabloom 6x24" carbon filter ~ De-Humidifier and Humidifier when needed. ~ 14k BTU IdealAir portable A/C unit plumbed into tent for temperature control. ~ BlueLab testing instruments ~ Two Hurricane 18" oscillating fans ~ Two 6" Clip-on fans ~ Two 10" floor mounted fans ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Update: 1/17- Week Eight of flower and it's almost MOVIE TIME!!! I'm beginning to flush the Seedsman Zkittlez Auto now giving it straight well water that's ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 70-72℉ and turning her pot 1/4 turn daily. 1/19- The Zkittlez Auto was watered until runoff yesterday with well water that's ph'd to 6.5 @ 70℉ and her pot was turned. This lady is looking absolutely AMAZING now with HUGH colas that are super frosty! 1/21- I didn't water yesterday, today I realized that because our RH has dropped into the 30's that she'd dry out faster, and today she was wilting 😶. I'm not too concerned as the stress will do nothing but force her to up her trichome production. I went ahead and flooded her pot until I had a good runoff with well water that's ph'd to 6.6 @ 71℉ and gave her pot a turn. Four hours later when I checked on her, she had already perked back up and looked much better! Her fade is coming on strong now and I anticipate placing her in the dark for 72 hours within 4-5 more days, after which she'll be ready to hang to dry! 1/23- I gave the Zkittlez Auto a healthy flush today with well water that I ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉ and turned her pot. Her trichomes are 80% milky now and I anticipate her being ready anytime so I've been checking her trichomes daily to hit that 'sweet spot' if possible. Well, eight weeks of flowering on the books and this beauty is just about done! The Seedsman Zkittlez Auto will be finished up in the next couple of days and then will go 'dark' for 72 hours before I hang her to begin the drying/curing process! See you next week fam! 😎👍 ~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my grows and for all the ❤️and support you give! 💚What you grow - Grow what you💚

This was a good harvest for 9L pots, good root structure. The plant pulled out some real nice colours at the end of its life, if I could have lowered temps a bit I bet she would have looked stunning with the fade. Smoke report coming up in a few mins.

Boy I really feel I butchered my attempt at topping this plant, it left behind a few feeble looking fan leaves that I had to remove because I didn't like the way they were looking at me. 😒 I suspect I really waited too long, but I'm unaccustomed to how fast autoflowers start flowering. Beyond that, she's the most spindly of the girls out on the patio, which are mostly bushed out now - but she's the only real sativa in this group.

Starting week 9 on 3 plants in the tent week 8 for 1 week 7 for 3 more. Today my 3 youngest got repotted in great recycled soil new amendments mi teals and Carfully cut a way the 1 gallon fabrics added Mychro all along the roots and bottom pots, I put them tin 3 gallon Potts and a 5 gallon pot all fabric I extended my grow by completely opening the tent sides and added a 75 and 50 watts of light The lights are 16 inches above the stretched canopy.i had a slight PH downshift so I purchased PH up and I’m back to 6.4 soil. Oh I was doing 800 and 400 ppm into all pots all are in flower. I always water to 10% runoff and I use a Turkey baster and DEWALT ShopVac to suck up the extra water, 333 is the pppm at the run off. I’ll try and do better pictures I’m wanting to CHOP on day 85 (21 days to go ). The Net is great took some leaves off watching it all come together PH is making my leaves soft very green and healthy looking. I moved branches for better light exposure clippped lower buds and skinny branches ( Larf). Smoke em if you got em 🤘🏻

1st of September. This week I thinned out the whole plant again and took out some small side branches that didn’t get enough sun. I tried maximise the airflow inside the plant. I m super impressed how thick the stem already is. The flowers r growing too, but still a bit slow. I m excited for the next weeks. Also I fertilised with an organic bloom fertilizer. This fertilizer is beside from the seeds the only thing I bought from a growshop. I think regarding the growing there is so so much equipment that is not needed when you are growing on a hobby level.

21.07.2025 Defoliation, Lollypopping, and LST/HST. 25.07.2025 The strechy pheno on the right side has some problems. I think I've overwaterd her a little. But she is already the looser in this grow. Even though she is the most mature yet. The short pheno in the middle is doing alright. But the pheno on the left side is a real beaty. And she smells so much more than the other two!
